This stuff is worth every penny of £13. It smells amazing
like oranges when you use it. It actually doesn’t feel to abrasive when scrubbing
and it leaves you with the most amazing skin. Radiant, glowy and smooth…
slightly tight but nothing a good moisturiser can’t fix. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I only use it once a week typically on Sunday night or
Monday morning to give my skin that weekly boost but I will also use it before special
occasions too because makeup applies effortlessly after use and your skin is
literally glowing underneath… It’s awesome, basically.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you DO NOT have
sensitive skin, I highly recommend it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'd give it 4/5 - only because it
leaves your skin a little tight and dry. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But otherwise, its good stuff. If you've tried this or something else that is amazing from the Body Shop let me know your thoughts. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I’ve kind of been missing for a few months, apologies for that but final year exams were keeping me busy and then I went on “holiday” to
New York!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New York was
very different and a completely new experience, and being from London I didn’t
expect it to be so different but it really was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People are not always friendly, maybe that’s because it’s a busy city
and people just don’t care about your
tourist problems, I don’t know but they are just straight to the point most of
the time. (People working on buses, information points in the subway, ticket booths
etc).. However if ever you’re lost ask a police officer they are very friendly
and will help you until you understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The subway is defiantly not comparable to the London underground but
much cheaper than taxis. When flying back the man handling out boarding tickets
even said, put more politely, is not for those able to travel in ulterior/better
modes of transport. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s a 9% sales tax on most
purchases, which I had no idea about until I got there :0 … But that didn’t stop me from going
shopping crazy! The shopping experiences in most places were amazing,
especially in Macy's, the sales assistants will go out of their way to help you
and are so kind!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried to fit a lot in to the one week to make the most of
my time there so I thought I’d post my schedule in case it came of use to
anyone planning on going.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I managed to do pretty much everything and the days they
were scheduled for but come the last day, I was just too exhausted to even
attempt to grand central station hence the “Holiday” not holiday. I didn’t manage
to explore or find Bleecker Street or Waverly place but it’s such a huge street
it would have taken ages. However I will go again someday and I plan on going to the places I missed as
well as visiting some museums and
different parts of the city like china town, little Italy and I really want to
see more of Brooklyn it was so beautiful. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I only spent a week there but it was one of the most amazing
weeks of my life. it was a lot to take in, but overall the experiences I had
were great. Using the subway although advised several times not to, was
actually pretty cool and super-fast, the hotel was fantastic (Staybridge
Suites), the sites were mind blowing-ly beautiful and it was, simply put, an amazing
place filled with lots of adventures that I’d love to visit again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can’t stress enough how much flat hair annoys me and yes
the <a href="http://littleminkthinks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/vo5-plump-it-up.html" target="_blank">VO5 plump it up</a> is good and I would have repurchase it in the past, but I have found
something that is better.. The John Frieda Volume collection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgdGFrXDPERP-jqeusXXahw_7CyDDzQfyxgU5Rf9KC2_z7YDhhdcSXoN04WF21hldTN-oi3aj1i4TWTsA1-wECEj5Y6lkH0M39Kfd3CdwwBzwjllWBDJyVaRIS_ZtmS3IxnHeh47BQ98Vb/s1600/jjff.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgdGFrXDPERP-jqeusXXahw_7CyDDzQfyxgU5Rf9KC2_z7YDhhdcSXoN04WF21hldTN-oi3aj1i4TWTsA1-wECEj5Y6lkH0M39Kfd3CdwwBzwjllWBDJyVaRIS_ZtmS3IxnHeh47BQ98Vb/s1600/jjff.png" height="320" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The range was on offer at Superdrug a while back (December
2013) and I need just needed some shampoo so it’s just my luck that id find
something I absolutely love! I bought the shampoo, conditioner and blow dry
lotion for fine hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Using these three together has changed my hair completely I never feel like my hair too
flat and even after 3 days and when the actual condition of my hair is not at
its best (i.e. a tad oily), it’s still
bouncy and has volume at the roots!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think it’s mainly due to the root booster but their
shampoos are generally really good quality from what I’ve experienced anyway, I
think they add something to volume but I wouldn't get the desired results
without the root booster, no way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The only weird thing about these products (NOT a bad thing) are
that once I've blow dried, if I do no other styling and then sleep on it comes
out more bouncy the next day for some unknown reason - very strange but good..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">LASTING POWER – A good 3 days and may even stretch to 4
depending on your hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SMELL – the root booster has no smell whatsoever which is a
bonus… the shampoo and conditioner’s smell lasts a while but it’s a neutral
smell, quite pleasant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">WORTH THE PRICE? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">YES!! Most defiantly, especially if you can get it on offer!
It does exactly what it’s supposed to, doesn't dry out your roots, keeps the
volume and gives you the hair you dream of having. The shampoo and conditioner
leave your hair feeling silky and looking smooth and the root booster gives the
extra volume and helps keep it there for a good few days. I can’t say a bad word about this product. John
Frieda has a really good reputation for quality and results so it’s worth
giving a go. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This collection is outstanding, as I'm sure are all John
Frieda Products. I used to use the Root awakening collection by John Frieda which
was my all-time favourite shampoo and conditioner but unfortunately it’s
discontinued, so this has taken its place. If you tried any other hair care
products that give that lovely voluminous look then please share!! I’m forever
seeking volume! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> I came across this product on a random visit to Superdrug and I was thinking of buying the L’Oreal dupe for Bioderma but the Garnier one was cheaper and has a lot more product for the price so the “rational consumer” in me went for the Garnier.<br /><br />It is very gentile on the skin, keeping to the “water” description, there is no smell whatsoever and you can use it on your eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do like this product, but for taking off makeup properly I use it alongside a foaming cleanser or just use it to remove eye makeup. If it was the only cleaner I used to remove all makeup I’d lose patience , because it just not strong enough to take it all off, properly and quickly.<br /><br />It is a nice product if your eyes are really sensitive like mine, completely removes mascara and eyeliner properly, but I'm yet to try it on waterproof mascara which will be the real test.<br /><br />But in general it’s perfect for sensitive skin. And also if you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to go to the sink and actually wash your face...( accidentally get cleanser in your eye and mouth and have that awful taste ha-ha)</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />It’s a 400ml bottle so I don’t think I’ll running out of it anytime soon, I won’t even be thinking of getting Biodemra until then, but if you've tried it let me know how good it is!</span><br />

It doesn't look cakey nor like you've applied a lot but it covers most “imperfections” with ease. <br /><br /><br />I have had mine for about 3 months now and I have more than bottle left, hence for the money (£28.50) I think it’s really worth it, you can mix it in with a moisturiser if you want lighter coverage but even then it’s still quite flawless. <br /><br /><br />LASTING POWER - the longest I can recall before removing it, would be about 14-16 hours of course with powder on top. Natural shine will come through, however it gives a glow rather than gross oily look, because the foundation is still there somehow, masking imperfections. <br /><br />SMELL – No smell whatsoever <br /><br />WORTH THE PRICE? YES! It’s a high end product and this foundation in particular is actually worth the RRP, the quality of foundation is amazing not to mention it also has SPF 10. if you cleanse your face properly after as you would with any foundation, it will not break you out! There are 31 of shades, ranging from cool to warm tones.<br /><br />The only negative I can think of is that it doesn't have a pump and you can over-pour.<br /><br />But I've kept the sample bottle the tester comes in pour it into that and use my foundation that way because it’s easier to control. <br /><br /><br />This is the only foundation I use now and will continue to repurchase it unless they discontinue my shade (fingers crossed they won’t). <br /><br />Have you tried Double wear? What do make of it? If you didn't let love it as much as I do please let me know why!<br /><br />Little mink x<br /><br /><a href="http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/643/3894/Product-Catalog/Makeup/Face/Foundations/Double-Wear/Stay-in-Place-Makeup-SPF-10/index.tmpl">Available here - Estée Lauder Double Wear £28.50</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you’re looking for something that is going to keep your
polish intact and have that “ooooo shiny” salon shine then the Maybelline
forever strong and Super Stay 7 clear polishes are the way to go!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I absolutely hate it when mine or other peoples nails are
chipped, for me it’s either wear it perfectly or make sure it’s close to
flawless or just don’t wear it ( harsh maybe but that’s just one of my weird things
:P )<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Super Stay 7 day (and Forever strong in Crystal clear) outlasts
7 days no doubt, as long as you don’t<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>mind some normal wearing of the tips. But it doesn’t looked chipped, it
just looks like you nails have<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>grown. It’s
not major chipping where its chunk of colour that is missing, just an even and
EXTREMELY <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>thin line.. Its virtually undetectable
unless you’re an obsessive nail freak like myself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Drying Time about 15 minutes </span></span></div>
<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Easily lasts 7 days without chipping <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Both give outstanding shine for 7 days or in my case 9days <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Good for usage as base coat as well as top <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A good shade range (especially good if you can’t be bothered or have time to paint your nails twice) <o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Defiantly
gets 5/5 <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In all honesty I could and have worn this as a top coat for
3 weeks straight.. In fact the Forever Strong Pro has lasted me 3 weeks for an
exam period before whilst staying almost perfect. No major chipping <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I don’t know if Forever Strong and Super Stay 7 are exactly
the same product, but I’ve noticed that they have <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>slowly stopped stocking the Forever Strong and
stocking more of the Super Stay 7.. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
are booth called crystal clear and I’m pretty sure they are close to identical
product-wise because I have been using the Forever Strong for ages and the
Super stay 7 gives me the same amazing results. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s a two-step mask especially for acne but it’s one that
actually works and feels nice whilst on the skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The first step is the mask. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could have probably used it twice but I
slapped it all on for one use. It is cooling and refreshing while it’s drying
and there is a slight tingling sensation… not itchy! Just a slight tingle which
means it’s doing something, which I like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYL0ORtsYa-TpWh9kQVJ0hvc9C0_WeFxeEXUf5ctEOXAtvZot_NhOZ4yBsJ3EgnjgpE1ideOreiG3pxoySxkXyPNFVxz2-VVk6VC8CPoJRCEYmHmxX0G_RGm2qD6dkbw4spCr4I7WnGEAW/s320/maskkkkk.png" height="161" width="320" /></div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After 20 minutes I washed it off, patted my face dry and
applied step two which is the moisturiser. Again there is enough for two
applications but I put it all on and just let it sink in naturally. On my skin
personally the moisturisers feels oily, not in a bad way though, its cooling
like the mask and the next day I did see a difference in my skin. I just thought
it was unusual for it to feel like that, but I gently rub it in every now and
then whilst it’s on and my skin absorbs it after a while. My skin then feels
soo soft and hydrated and clean. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s a 4/5 for me only because the moisturiser was not what
I was expecting to be I don’t understand why it’s so oily. But otherwise every
effective mask both cost wise and general efficient on the skin. Next morning,
break outs have calmed down, skin looks a lot cleaner, you can tell its taken
away lots of impurities and dead skin cells. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I really like this mask from Montagne Jeunesse, and it’s the
only one I’ve tried so far so If you’ve tried any others of their vast range
that you recommend please let me know, I’d love to try it. And pretty much any other
face masks too. He-he </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Everyone loves cakes and all sort of baked goods and the Two
Shuks (@<span class="screen-name4"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">thetwoshuks</span></span>)
have a cake stall that is in different markets around London. They make a variety
of lovely yummy sweet goodness as well as other baked goods and my favourites of theirs, their bread
sticks!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihi8sWkoXf0aXEQplndqYDGlsUziQj_rWcni71h3AinaD-xxlvLd39DejeDNZ7xLibBK2B1_wcnrVo9EpRUUrLXLa_Hyz8nWlUHMpsZi7-xoPzPptE98mfpRUP9Yzhj2e3PVwin9foKn_E/s1600/twoshuks+whole.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihi8sWkoXf0aXEQplndqYDGlsUziQj_rWcni71h3AinaD-xxlvLd39DejeDNZ7xLibBK2B1_wcnrVo9EpRUUrLXLa_Hyz8nWlUHMpsZi7-xoPzPptE98mfpRUP9Yzhj2e3PVwin9foKn_E/s1600/twoshuks+whole.png" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here are some of my favourites:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m mentioning the gluten free brownies first simply because
it was probably the one of the nicest brownie I've ever tried. Honestly they
are so heavenly and literally melt in your mouth. The Gluten free is also a
bonus ;) and the size of the square you get <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> :)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On to the cakes, the ones I tried were the Lemon drizzle and
orange and almond. I'm not generally a fan of fruit in a desert but the flavour
and fragrance of the cakes makes it hard to miss. The lemon drizzle was my
favourite of the two, it’s so moist and the perfect balance of sweet and lemony
goodness :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They also make freshly baked Jammie dodgers!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is huge! And tastes better than the
processed ones from the supermarket because it so fresh and I don’t think it
has any preservatives yay!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The bread sticks, I tried 3 different flavours, cumin, chilli,
onion and cheese and all of them were bursting with flavour. The cumin was my
favourite but only because I love cumin all my food ha-ha!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You could have the tiniest bite of any of the flavours
and you’ll instantly know what it is, that’s how good they are!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All the food is made and baked freshly by them, not like
when you buy something from a supermarket and it just says baked in stored
which really isn't the same thing. There is a significant taste difference,
trust me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBIAMuIhrrivUx-ylKzS7Pm6j0T58IlhVgAWEiV7WMtKljebHOmKaExW2Diyy-IrqNcqETLEqzi39uhCRY1tZyQaeZ5RBnloEGm8Ck0hDve9dvljA2_HQy-scEuVFXb5FcwIZKhFo3nxK/s1600/2+shuks.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBIAMuIhrrivUx-ylKzS7Pm6j0T58IlhVgAWEiV7WMtKljebHOmKaExW2Diyy-IrqNcqETLEqzi39uhCRY1tZyQaeZ5RBnloEGm8Ck0hDve9dvljA2_HQy-scEuVFXb5FcwIZKhFo3nxK/s640/2+shuks.png" height="162" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not only this but the portions are so generous and the
prices are highly competitive especially as they are located in London where
food outlets tend it over price. But the Two Shuks are very reasonably priced
and much cheaper than other companies that bake fresh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obviously I did not eat all this food all by myself I shared
it with my family and they each had their favourites, the brownie and the bread
sticks were popular with all of us though </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><o:p></o:p><br />

<div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A while back I was on twitter and I read one of Eva Longoria
tweets, something about a great premier night of something called “Devious
maids”. So I did some research watched some promos since then and I am very
excited that its coming to the UK!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The creator of desperate housewives has created devious
maids too, so knowing this and having seen the promos, I have a feeling it
going to have a similar feel to it. And Eva Longoria is an executive producer
too! :]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">From what I’ve found out, it’s about a group of maids who
work for rich people in Beverly hills. One of the maids is murdered, and the
show, at least the first season I'm thinking, is going to be centred around that,
as well as the antics of the maids at work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A new maid comes into town too, so I'm guessing

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of the actors and actresses I have seen before, some I can’t
put my finger on, but most of cast have been other TV shows and films. The maids
however I do remember; Ana Ortiz, Hilda on Ugly Betty,
Judy Reyes, Carla on scrubs, and Roselyn Sanchez who is in Rush Hour

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I can’t wait! I really
don’t want to result to watching them YouTube because I prefer the TV. But I’ve
been waiting for something to new to come along that has the comedy and serious

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am petrified of heights, climbing trees, falling from
heights and all of nature really.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite this I decided to go to Go Ape with a couple of friends
and I have to say it’s one the best things I’ve ever done, yes it is still
scary, I recommend you go with people you trust and people that are going to
support you if you know you may freak out half way between two trees *Cough* me
*Cough*. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But anyway, when you get there you will have to basically
sign and accept that you are doing a high risk activity, after that and reading
the safety rules very carefully one of the activity leader will put on a
harness for you and then you get to practice with the harness before you go to level
1, where the instructor will make sure you are doing everything correctly After
level one you are kind of left alone so make sure you pay attention! But as long
as you are always attached to something you’ll be fine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are 5 levels at Trent park and for all 5 you are responsible for you
own safety. Each level is increased in height slightly. When climbing up the
tree you are attached to safety so it does help because they are quite shaky especially
if you are freaking out and your body is shaking involuntarily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I managed up to level 4, 5 was just too high for me and
being only 4ft 10 (yes I am small for a 20 year old lol)… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think I would have made it across as
my friends did it and found it challenging <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But level 5 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is vastly more challenging than the other 4
but it is do-able, both my friends did it and one of them is like 5ft 2. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall it was an amazing experience, my body however is
still aching after 2 days (damn Tarzan net!) but it was worth it to; conquer my
fear of heights and climbing, have a memorable enjoyable time with my friends
and get in some exercise. Zip wires were by far my favourite part because it
means id be on the ground by the end of it but also because you feel like a
bird flying through the trees. The staff were every friendly, helpful, encouraging
and always around in case you need help. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are scared of heights, go and do this because yes, at
first you will be bricking it but <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>once you’ve
done one, adrenaline will kick in and you will be able to do it. I am the least
active and adventurous person ever and yes I was freaking out and complaining
the whole day but it’s an amazing feeling when you’ve done it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">#Best advice is go up to the levels you are comfortable with, you can see what they are going to be like before you climb up. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought Cherry me (Orange tube) which gives a lovely cherry,
pinkie reddish colour which is perfect for everyday work or back to school. Subtle
but still gives enough colour so you don’t look washed out with an added
healthy sheen. And it smells like cherry!! Like the Lypsyl Cherry lip balm not
a fake cherry smell like Carmex <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’ve been using it for a week now and it does keep my lips
smooth and hydrated… when<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the colour
wears off,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which will take a while
unless you’re planning on consuming food or drink, your lips still feel balmy
and they’re left hydrated. Keeps hydrated for up to 8 hours according to the
packaging <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, I only bought one, in “Cherry me” but that’s because
they weren’t out on the shop floor only at the tills and when I asked to see
more but they only had hydrate (the blue tube ) and intense care (the yellow
tube) both of which are clear and as I already have a clear lip balm I’m loyal
to and I was not gonna waste money on another clear lip balm that will
potentially be less superior to the Nivea Hydro Care. Not matter how good they
smell. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall 4/5 - simply because not all the shades have SPF protection and I feel like the colour range could be improved as three of them appear to be clear. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But anyway when they come out properly in the retailers near
me I really want to check out the Pink Punch!! I’m thinking it smells amazing
as the colour would be too. Let me know if you’ve Pink Punch and what you think
of it and what you make of the Baby Lips in General, worth the year long wait,
or not? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was not at all intending to buy a
new foundation as I have 3 on the go already but I couldn’t pass this up, it
claims to be anti-shine! And my gosh do I hate when my face gets shiny!! So I bought
it for £8.99 from Superdrug.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So is it “anti-shine”?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well when you first apply it, it
feels smooth, like foundation over primer. Not slippery, smooth. It looks as if
you will not need to powder at all. But if you know you have an oil t-zone like
me then definitely do because it’s good at being shine free for the most part
but my t-zone is playing a game of its own so I need to. . <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have combination oily skin put
it over a moisturiser or else it’ll look caketastic!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I absolutely hate my hair being flat!! So when I was in
boots a while back I went to the hair styling section and came across this very
girly pink bottle. I hadn’t read
any reviews previous to buying… But having been using this product for several
months now I can honestly say that this product is pretty damn good!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always blow dry my hair anyway and there wasn’t a lot of
volume at all and my friends would keep catching me fluffing up hair, which isn’t
a good look. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now however I never have to
do that! This lotion (but has consistency of a liquid spray) gives enough
volume so that it’s not overly done but enough for every day. I’d backcomb it a
little too for a special event just for extra volume if the occasion calls for
it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although some reviews say it leaves your dirty, I totally
disagree, not just because it doesn’t do that but because even if you feel like
it does most girls I know wash their hair every 2-3 days so it doesn’t really
matter. It doesn’t make your hair look dirty and it feels exactly the same as
it would without any product init. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lasting Power- Lasts for up to 2 days at the most but that’s
okay because you probably wash your hair by then. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Smell - smells like a salon type hairspray not bad but not
the best smell ever. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worth the price -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>ranges from £4-£5 so yes!! You only need a few spritz and your is full
of volume and it’s a 2 in one product with the heat defence. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall – Does what it says!! Perfect those who are like me
and hate having flat hair!! Perfect for every day. Has heat defence (has not
made my hair any weaker so I believe that), it says it makes your appear
thicker and I would to some extent agree with that it feels like you have more
hair when you use this and looks thicker. Tames frizz. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you tried this “lotion” or anything else that will help
give volume to your hair, any tips or tricks? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I recently purchased sleeks pout polish after having received
a sample at my freshers fair last year. It’s been a while but I keep coming
back to it, so I thought if I chose a colour myself I’d use it more and I was
right I’ve used it almost every day since I’ve got and frankly there is hardly
a dent in the pot!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The colour payoff is fantastic for the colour I bought which
is pomegranate. A tiny swirl is enough for your lips (depending on the size of
your lips of course) which is reflective in other products they produce too. Which
is why it looks like I’ve barely used it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">it is a perfect product for the summer as it is a light and
leaves a delicate sheen. But even though it says lip conditioner it doesn’t really
condition your lips, if your lips are already smooth before apply then yes it
will help them to stay that way for the a few more hours. But if they’re dry or
chapped it won’t solve it and will most likely highlight it from the experience
I have had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Quality- Moderate, its pretty good, the colour payoff is
exceptionally good and you tone it down if you want, just needs to be more conditioning
if that’s what going have written on the pot. 4/5<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lasting Power- Lasts 2-3 hours without touching up…less if you’re
going eat but it easy to travel with. 3/5<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Overall effect - Its says pout polish, it does make your
lips look polished and the colour shines through. 4/5<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Worth the price - Yes, there is a lot of product for the
price. 5/5</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Final thoughts – Would recommend this for spring/summer its Ideal
for a slightly more polished causal springy summery look. Or pomegranate in
particular if <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you need a good nude lip
colour it is a lovely muted nude red which will last for ages! SPF15 yay! Subtly
smells like vanilla yummy ;)</span><br />
