<span style="text-align: justify;">Firstly I applied my </span><b style="text-align: justify;">Essie Off The Shoulder </b><span style="text-align: justify;">on all of my nails which is a lovely hot pink which I love and have mentioned on the blog before. I applied two coats of this polish as I thought it looked best. Next I applied one of my favourite polishes, </span><b style="text-align: justify;">OPI's Teenage Dream</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> which is from the Katy </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Perry collection and again, is a polish I've mentioned before.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I mentioned this briefly in my post on my May Birchbox and said that I loved it so much that I might have to purchase the full size.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I opened my Birchbox the day I arrived home from my trip to America and after all the travelling my skin was horrible and so dry. As it was sitting right on my desk I decided to try it right there and then, and instantly, yes, instantly, my skin soaked it up and it brightened up my appearance. I have quite red skin and it calmed it right down and over time has evened out my skin tone. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I'm not going to lie, I've been using some new creams and gels on my face to try and sort out my skin (I hate it so much) and so haven't been using any products other than make up on my skin other than what I have been prescribed. However, as soon as I can ill be back to using this again!</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It retails at £42 and I purchased mine in the e shop on the Birchbox website. However, during my purchase I was able to get 20% off, free shipping as it was a current product of the month, and I also had £20 worth of points to spend so I ended up having to pay very little! </span></div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you can get your hands on a tester of this product I highly recommend it as I absolutely love it and my skin has appreciated it. It contains some form or rose water or oil so has that lovely rose/Turkish delight smell which I love!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Today I'm wearing <b>Essie's Miami Nice </b>on my nails, and it was actually by accident. I have all my Essie polishes in a box and I meant to lift out Super Bossa instead as I haven't actually got to use it yet. I was painting them while watching YouTube videos and didn't even notice until I'd already done the first coat! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Anyway, I still love this colour (I didn't actually know I owned it but sure). It's a lovely hot pink with blue undertones as is perfect for summer. A big pro with this polish was also the fact that it dried a lot quicker than I expected it too. </span></div>

The weather has been rather temperamental lately and it's always too warm, but with spouts of torrential rain and thunder/lightning, so this is what I choose to wear!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I can't actually believe we're in July already, we're flying through the months. I'm very excited for Christmas already, it's over halfway there! Today, I bring you my June favourites. I've decided to write them down as I go through the month as I always find myself having to look around my room trying to figure out what I've been using a lot.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'll start with my make up favourites of the month, and these are ones I've been really loving. Firstly is my<strong> Urban Decay Naked Palette</strong>, which has made an appearance quite a few times and is one loved by many. I've used this every single day for all of June, and it's been brought over to July as well. I absolutely love this palette, with the shimmery shadows being my favourites. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another eye product is my favourite eye liner. It's the <strong>Avon Super Shock Gel Eyeliner</strong>. I'm a big fan of gel eyeliner pencils and this gives a nice thin line and is great for both the top and bottom lash line. It's also really inexpensive and has great lasting power.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My favourite lip product of the month is one of the <strong>Revlon Lip Butters in Sorbet. </strong>This was released a few months ago as part of Revlon's new line of lip butters. As someone who was a huge fan of them when they were released in the UK last year, and couldn't actually wait until they were in stock in Boots and had to order them online, I was super excited when I saw them in store around the same time as they arrived in the US. Sorbet is a beautiful hot pink, and I have a post ready to talk about it in more detail.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next is my two favourites moisturisers. The first is the <strong>OPI Avo Juice in Jasmine. </strong>This line of moisturisers smells glorious. I hadn't actually heard of any lotions by OPI until I saw one in TK Maxx back in May. It was the coconut one and I really regret not buying it at the time as it smelt delicious and reminded me of Summer time. I went back to get it a few weeks later and it was gone, but instead I found this one. I really love the smell of jasmine, and this is such a nice hand cream, and not a scent I often find in moisturisers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For my face, <strong>Elemental Herbology Cell Plumping Moisturiser</strong> has been the one. I mentioned this in my May Birchbox post as I received it as a sample, and ended up buying the full size product. Again, another product which I have a post prepared for to discuss in full! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Lush's Rose Jam </strong>perfume is one of my all time favourite perfumes as well as my favourite for June, and it greatly depresses me that I have to ration this tiny bottle. If you have ever smelt the Rose Jam bath bombs from Lush then you will know how delicious this smells, good enough to eat! Every time I wear this perfume someone compliments me and asks what I'm wearing, and I really wish I know I could repurchase this so I could wear it more.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My miscellaneous favourites for June have been my <strong>Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla </strong>candle and my <strong>iPad</strong>. This candle is one that I would love to have all year around, and it's definitely not one specially for Summer. I'm not a huge fan of vanilla, but with the lavender they compliment each other well. I've been lighting this at night time before I go to bed as I love the smell of lavender before I go to sleep.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My iPad has been a huge favourite with me since I bought it. I have the mini and I love that I can carry it around with me as it fits in my bag so easily, and is very light and takes up no room at all. I'm also a bit addicted to playing around with too many apps...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That's it for my favourites of the month, and I know it won't be at all long before I'm writing my July favourites, crazy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here it is, my favourite nail varnish for this Summer! I know, it came out in Essie's Summer collection last year but I have only managed to get it this year, and I absolutely love it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I managed to pick up a really good deal with this and actually got it for only £1.99 on Fragrance Direct along with a few other polishes by the same brand. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The colour you are looking at is <b>Essie's Bikini So Teeny</b>. It is a gorgeous sky blue colour and is even nicer in person than in the photos. I'm not a big fan of super bright colours (unless they're pink), but I thought this was really nice and could really brighten up any outfit. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The consistency of the polish is also really smooth and it can be applied really easy. It's one of those polishes that I never make a mistake with, which is a big plus in my books. It also stayed on very well, and didn't really chip. The main photograph of me holding the polish shows my nails 2 days after applying the polish, and as you can see, there's only a few little chips, but its pretty perfect otherwise.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I highly recommend anyone to try this nail polish if they see it, and also to check out <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/">Fragrance Direct</a> for Essie nail polishes as they are super cheap! They also ship worldwide so this isn't just for my UK readers!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is my first favourites post in months, and it's a bit late, but here it is! It's been hard trying to figure out what my favourites where during the month of may and what is going to be part of my June favourites, but this is what I remember.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Firstly, I'll start with my eye favourites of the month. I'm still using my beloved Make Up For Ever smoky lash mascara, so I haven't included it as I've mentioned it before. It'll have ran out soon though, so maybe a new one will make an appearance! The <strong>Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo's </strong>have been a firm favourite with me throughout May and I literally used these two every single day. The first one I got in Superdrug and it is called <strong>Pink Gold</strong>, I'm not completely sure what it's named in the US but it's a lovely rose gold shadow. The second is one I picked up last year when I was in California and is called <strong>Pomegranate Punk. </strong>I've never seen this one in any of my shops so unfortunately I don't think it's available to anyone in the UK, which is such a shame as it's a gorgeous dark red/purple shadow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwfLuKhjsjJJKS1Ct9oLH8pRZYrkOd06K448MWU0TbySXM4MfEiYFt-xRX1bL4jobZ4SUV_0HcGH9epSTlEUtT9eiFFfjvbv7PkaQGd0A5NG-VIY5yE-siC13TM1TsgbkiXns-CCyjbA/s1600/May+Favourites+Lips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwfLuKhjsjJJKS1Ct9oLH8pRZYrkOd06K448MWU0TbySXM4MfEiYFt-xRX1bL4jobZ4SUV_0HcGH9epSTlEUtT9eiFFfjvbv7PkaQGd0A5NG-VIY5yE-siC13TM1TsgbkiXns-CCyjbA/s320/May+Favourites+Lips.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next is my lip favourites, and lip products are my ultimate favourite! I picked up this <strong>MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner </strong>last year in <strong>Petting Pink</strong>, used it only a few times, and then forgot about it for a while. After my Baby Lips lip balm got ran over by a car a few months ago, I needed to find a replacement, and this has been it! It's been amazing at keeping my lips soft and moisturised, and I also love the little bit of pink colour it gives. Second, is another product from the same brand, and is the <strong>MAC Daddy's Little Girl </strong>lipstick from the Archie's Girls collection. I've done a separate post on this if you'd like to take a look by clicking </span><a href="http://melissaknowsbest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/mac-archies-girls-veronica-lipstick.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My nail polish favourite for the month has been <strong>Essie's Bikini So Teeny </strong>which I'm sure plenty of you know all about. It is a bright sky blue nail polish and is perfect for Summer. My favourite scent has been <strong>Victoria's Secret Such A Flirt</strong>, and I'm almost finished this bottle. It contains starfruit and white orchid if you'd like to imagine how it smells, as I doubt I'll be able to explain! My final favourite for make up is again, another MAC product, and is the <strong>MAC Mineralise Skinfinish. </strong>I've never been one to use powder, but for all of May, and now again in June I've added it to my daily make up routine and have found it really helps in keeping my make up on throughout the day. My shade is light if you're interested. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Finally, a random favourite, and is one I've never been able to find in the UK! It's a <strong>Luna </strong>bar, and my favourite has been White Chocolate Macadamia. I bought these last year while I was away, and loved them, so of course I had to buy a few more while I was in Ohio, and I still love them! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, well, well, it definitely has been a while! As you know I was in Ohio for two weeks and so this is why I've abandoned my blog. Hopefully now ill be back to regular posting (hopefully). I signed up to Birchbox a few months ago and currently am now onto my third box. I did have photos of the first two boxes but then unfortunately never got around to actually posting about them!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Firstly, if you don't know what a Birchbox is, it's been around in the US now for quite a while, but only actually reached the UK at the start of this year, and was previously referred to as Joliebox. It is a monthly beauty box which contains samples, and some full size products which are matched to your profile. As I have quite dry skin I have had quite a few face moisturisers sent out which I have been absolutely loving!</span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This month I received four products, and two extras which was nice. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first product is my absolute favourite, and it's the <b>Elemental Herbology Cell Plumping Facial Moisturiser</b>. I have used this every night since I got my box (which I only got to open last Sunday as I was away when it arrived) but it has worked really well. I don't know if its because of this product but the tone if my skin seems to have really improved and evened itself out. It smells quite like Turkish delight, because it contains rosa water, and its made my skin so super soft. It retails at £42 which I think is pretty pricey but as it seems to be working so well I may have to buy it.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next is the <b>B/Attitude Body Soufflé</b>, which I haven't actually tried yet. My first impression is that it looks really rich and moisturising and may lead to soft skin. I don't regularly moisturise however as I naturally have quite soft skin everywhere apart from my face, and I don't want to start messing with it! If I end up loving it you all will be the first to hear!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Another product was a mini <b>OPI</b> <b>nail polish</b>. As someone who is a huge fan of the brand, I was very happy to find this in my box, and in one of my favourite nail colours, pink! It's a lovely shade, but the only downside was they never included what colour it was, so if I decide I want to buy the full size it's going to be a problem.<br />

It is called Enhance and is a shimmer lip gloss. It seems okay but I prefer a bit more colour in my lipgloss instead of just shimmer. It reminds of a lipgloss I would use when I was younger and excited to be putting any form of make up on. It does have a nice fruity scent though. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the extras was a <b>Doctor Duve Anti-Aging & Firming Eye Cream</b>.

Another one I haven't used yet but I may try it tonight and see.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A lot of you may not know, but I'm going to Ohio next Friday on holiday, and I need some help with my shopping list! As always, there's plenty that America has to offer that unfortunately, has never made it to the UK, e.g. Maybelline Baby Lips or Bouncy Blushes... I usually try to watch as many YouTube videos as possible and read lots and lots of blogs before I go, but so far, I haven't really seen too much hype surrounding big products, am I missing something? Anyway...please comment below with any products you think I definitely need to by, and any links to reviews on them. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hope you're all having a lovely day!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another product I've been meaning to blog about for ages, my much loved <strong>Dr Jart+ Water Fuse BB Cream</strong>. I always used a moisturiser on my skin, and then for a while I tried out <strong>Benefit's That Gal </strong>primer. When I ran out, I moved over to trying BB (Beauty Balm) creams, and first started with <strong>Maybelline Dream Fresh</strong>. However, I decided I wanted to spend a bit more on my next one, and choose to try out one from the Dr Jart + range. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is quite a range of different BB creams to choose from, and for my first attempt I decided to go with the Water Fuse. This sounded like it would be more moisturising for my very dry skin, and promised to give me fresh and natural looking skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUTMGTUs5h2MYMzE9oJTEqodB-yeDBGx_d6dxf1MOQAqdMzsbhrqKMysokejyn9qSQov3YHZZt_6bNRNTLcqXV92M4JCwX6R3pxF2XiweOKcLw7Sm8BryHQoEwLh7InLACA7n5X4-YLv4/s1600/Dr+Jart+BB+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dua="true" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUTMGTUs5h2MYMzE9oJTEqodB-yeDBGx_d6dxf1MOQAqdMzsbhrqKMysokejyn9qSQov3YHZZt_6bNRNTLcqXV92M4JCwX6R3pxF2XiweOKcLw7Sm8BryHQoEwLh7InLACA7n5X4-YLv4/s320/Dr+Jart+BB+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To use, apply a small amount to your fingertips. The amount I have pictured may even be too much for you, as some days I definitely don't even need this amount. Then, blend over your skin. The BB cream will even out your skin tone and give a nice glow. I highly, highly recommend this product as even after the first use I noticed my skin felt immediately hydrated and was much softer. Unlike the Maybelline that I tried, this actually gave me coverage, and I love this as I have quite red skin. I would definitely say that this could be worn in replacement of foundation and concealer, but unfortunately as I don't like my skin, I don't think I'd be brave enough for this!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another aspect I love is that it has SPF25 in it, and as everyone should always wear some form of sunscreen, this makes it a lot easier to remember. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have been using this since January and still have quite a lot left, and I use it every single day. At £18 you may think it's expensive, but I think it's worth it. Whenever this one has ran out I'd like to give the regenerating one a try, so if you've used it before, please let me know what you thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">If you'd like to know where to buy this product, you can find it in Boots priced at £18, although it is currently on sale at £12! If you're in the US I believe Sephora stocks it and is $34.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I had been reading so many posts from US bloggers on this collection and I was so excited when it finally came to the UK. I had decided I was only going to let myself buy one product as I really need to be saving and it was a choice between this shade and Ronnie Red. As I already have quite a lot of reds I thought this was quite different.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For a start, I love the packaging, I wasn't quite sure on it when I first saw it online but it's grown on me and I find it very cute. It's very bright and colourful compared to MAC's usual packaging.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The colour itself is completely gorgeous and I think it suits my colouring quite well. At first look at the lipstick itself it looks like its quite dark and very purple, but when applied its got a lot of pink to it and is nice and bright.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As my lips have been quite dry I've been applying a lip balm underneath and this adds a nice bit of shine to the colour. It is a very build able lipstick and you can make it as bright as you'd like. It lasts quite a while too and I don't need to apply it as often as I would with other lip products. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the past six or seven weeks I've been receiving a Graze box and I love it. Don't know what that is? It's a weekly snack box which the UK have had for a while, but the US only got quite recently. It has a range of healthy and delicious snacks which you can get delivered to your door on whichever day of your choosing. I currently receive mine once a week, on a Thursday. You can choose to receive it more than once a week if you'd like to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It comes in a very cute cupboard box, with your four snacks, a napkin, the nutrition information, and also codes for you to hand out to your friends to get a free box. It's displayed so nicely, and is all very secure so it doesn't get ruined during delivery. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As for the content of the boxes, there's lots to choose from. There's a range of dried fruit, nuts, seeds, olives, fresh bread, flapjacks and crackers. When I first joined I binned all the food I knew I definitely wouldn't eat straight away (olives) so that I knew I would like all the snacks in my box. So far my absolute favourite is the apple and cinnamon flapjack, but I'm very excited to try the new brownie they've brought out but lent has been stopping me! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can choose to receive a nibble box with a variety of snacks, or else a nutritious box which is perfect for those who are dieting and want healthy, low fat/calorie foods. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As mentioned before, I binned all the food I knew I wouldn't like straight away. They have a rating system to let them know whether you liked, loved or want to bin something so they know not to send it. You can also request to receive an item soon if you really liked it or want to try.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You may be wondering why I'm telling you all this and think I'm being paid for this, but I'm not! I have decided to do a weekly post on the boxes I receive and whether I liked the snacks in my box. Just a little something so I can have a regular posts on my blog.</span></div>

I like almonds, but I'm not keen on hazelnuts and walnuts unless they're in chocolate. My mum and sister ate this so it didn't go to waste!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next was the herby bread basket which is very tasty. It has garlic croutons, basil baguettes and rice crackers. Really nice, but I wouldn't advise eating in public because it smells quite strong because of the garlic and basil.</span></div>

This is actually the nicest flapjack I have ever had and I wish I could buy them somewhere more often. Even after keeping it a few days before eating, it was still really moist and fresh.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, popcorn with a hint of black pepper. I haven't actually tried this yet but I'll report back. I was so excited when I saw this because I've been really wanting to try the popcorn.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, an outfit of the day for you all. It's been a while, mostly because I've had to wear a lot of clothes suitable for the absolutely freezing weather we've had (and are still having). </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I went into town yesterday with my friend for some food and shopping and this is what I wore:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dress</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> - TKMaxx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then to keep me warm I had to add more. (boo!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I love doing these so much as I love seeing everyone's answers to the questions, and then getting to write my own. Hope you all enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When did you start your blog?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My very first blog post was on Wednesday 4th April 2012. If I remember correctly it was quite late at night too, and I got so excited by it I had to write my second post straight away. Then I kept refreshing the page to see if anyone had read it yet!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Have you had any past online presence before (Other blog, YouTube)?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">No, this is my first. I have a YouTube account, but it's only for watching videos, not for making them. Although I do have a YouTube account with some videos from uni, but we'll not get into that...</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Why did you start a blog?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I'm the type of person who thoroughly researches any product I want before I buy it, and after doing it for so long, I decided it was about time I started being one of the people who does this. I've found I'm quite influential at getting other people to buy things, so they should be able to read why I love the products I get them to buy so much! </span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When did you become serious about starting a blog?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had wanted to make a blog for a few months before I actually decided to start one (and it's almost my first birthday!) and I'm not completely sure when I decided to be serious about it. I had thought about a few ideas in my head, and gathered a few products that I knew I could write about easily, all I had to do was do it. </span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What was your first post?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just a very silly little post saying what I was going to be writing about. There was really no need for it at all! You can read it </span><a href="http://melissaknowsbest.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/first-blog-post.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> if you want to! My first proper post was for a Lush product (of course), and it was for The Hair Doctor (which you can read </span><a href="http://melissaknowsbest.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/lush-hair-doctor-review.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What has been your biggest challenge about blogging?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not having enough time! I always have plenty of ideas of things I want to write about, but then I don't have the time to actually do it, then sometimes they're relevant to the time of year, and the time passes. I have photos of cupcakes I made at Halloween that I wanted to blog about and then never got the chance! Maybe next time...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Where do you see your blog in one year?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">By the way I've been blogging at the minute, my biggest concern is that I'll by back on track at actually writing my posts. I've been quite ridiculous over the past three weeks or so! I just hope I'm still writing about what I love, and have found even more products to write about. </span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Completely agree with Jessica on this one, the comments. I absolutely love when I get an email when I'm in work, or waking up in the morning to see that someone has taken the time to read what I've posted, and then commented on it! It really does just make my day so much better and I love it.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What is the most discouraging thing that happens to you?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As above, no comments! Whenever I first started blogging I never got any comments on my posts and it was so disheartening and I felt like no one wanted to read any of my posts and didn't really care what I had to say. </span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What's your lasting inspiration or motivation?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Other bloggers. I just love coming on here and reading other peoples posts and finding new products to try. Even when I don't come on here, I still see people posting on Twitter and Instagram, it's everywhere! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hope you all enjoyed this post and that I didn't bore you too much. This wasn't really a post for photos, so it's a bit too much writing, and so I apologise. I tag everyone to do this if you'd like to, and leave a comment below to let me know if you have so I can go and read it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Finally, a blog post after two long weeks! I've been wanting to write this review for ages but haven't had the time to get on my laptop and do anything at all. I can't believe it's March already, time is definitely flying in. I'll have to get my February favourites sorted soon! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyway, on to the review. After I read quite a few times how popular these were starting to get in America, I obviously had to buy one for myself since apparently the UK had had them for ages. I bought mine in Superdrug for only £1.49, which is pretty cheap for a lip balm in my opinion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are three flavours available in the UK. I choose to buy the Raspberry Rose one, but there is also Caramel and Original. The original was out of stock when I was in store, but the caramel one was there, but I personally found it a bit too sickening for a lip butter, so decided on this one instead.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vHZMXYsNMm7Fy65pW5OvgKs3wtGsXrQypehzL5XGgU7IBucEs_NHLxwvx2Gg9J3ToklMbtUq9EqjL84wdlQLM4TkjgvxfL4wBha7ztCWc04diP_gYf_fWspWQ1cK7wNp1I7OGigeSiA/s640/blogger-image--1597353679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vHZMXYsNMm7Fy65pW5OvgKs3wtGsXrQypehzL5XGgU7IBucEs_NHLxwvx2Gg9J3ToklMbtUq9EqjL84wdlQLM4TkjgvxfL4wBha7ztCWc04diP_gYf_fWspWQ1cK7wNp1I7OGigeSiA/s640/blogger-image--1597353679.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you can see, the lip butter comes in a little round tin, about the same size as Vaseline. The lip butter itself is a pale pink colour, and the smell is gorgeous, it reminds me of petit flous! Unlike a lot of other flavoured lip balms, it doesn't have much of a taste to it, but that hasn't bothered me too much.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The texture reminds me of hair wax, as it seems very sticky. This isn't a bad thing however, as it makes it really easy to apply to the lips, and it stays on for quite a while.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The colour is one I'm not too fond of. When applied, it comes out the same colour as it is in the tin, and looks too pale for my lips. I've found I have to really rub it in if I'm putting it on in public or else it just looks very strange. It has been good however for a base under lipsticks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Most importantly, it does its job for moisturising. It's not the most amazing lip product I've ever tried, and I wouldn't go around recommending it to everyone if they want to combat dry lips, but it's been better than a lot of others so I would probably purchase it again if I just wanted something inexpensive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All in all, I do like this product, it has it's pro's and con's, but it's definitely not beating my Maybelline Baby Lips!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">If you'd like to purchase this product online, you can do so at the Superdrug website by clicking <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/body/nivea-lip-butter-raspberry/invt/557350/&bklist=">here. </a></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another nail polish I'd forgotten about. I bought this last year when I was away and it's a colour I absolutely love. Pink polish is my absolute favourite so because I keep buying new ones this one got a bit lost.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As a polish, it's so smooth and easy to apply. There's no clumping and despite not being used in around 6 or 7 months, it hadn't dried up at all.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I applied one coat of this, and then decided to glam it up a bit on my ring finger. I used <strong>OPI's Pink Friday</strong> from the Nicki Minaj collection to do some small spots. This is a bright, barbie pink, so it looked really nice with the hot pink of <strong>Kiss Me On My Tulips</strong>. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Of course, a new Lush review for you all! I've been testing this out for a week, and I have to say, I love it. Before I go any further though, I'd like to point out that this is a lip <strong>gloss</strong>, not a lip balm. When I bought it I thought that it was, and after applying it the same amount as I would any regular lip balm I was very confused as to why my lips have been super dry. I thought I'd came across my first Lush product which wasn't working for me! However, this is not the case.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>The Kiss </strong>is one of Lush's first lip glosses, and has a new, whipped texture from their balms. I had read about this online, and hadn't actually intended on buying it until I got to the checkout. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Firstly, the texture. It was surprisingly soft and it is super smooth when applied to your lips. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm combining the scent, and the taste in one, and they are amazing. The scent is absolutely glorious, and the taste is devine. It tastes like drumsticks lollies, or love hearts sweets. I have to resist licking it off straight away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The colour is also very pretty and subtle. It is a light shimmery pink, and looks perfect by itself, or over a lip colour if that's what you desire. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Pros:</strong> </span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Taste, scent, taste, scent!</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Subtle colour for those who like to remain natural.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not overly expensive for a lip gloss, £5.50 for the tin.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Appearance, really cute and simple.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Easy to carry around as it is such a small tin it fits easily into your pocket.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cons:</span></strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For me, not overly moisturising. This may be however because I've went the last week thinking it was a balm....</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Depending on you, it's a bit unhygienic for me. I have to wash my hands before I can use it.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Overall, such a lovely product which I would buy again despite my confusion. I'm going to keep mentioning this as it has literally taken me to open up this post to realise that it was a lip gloss, I still can't believe it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you'd like to try this product, you can buy it in store or online for £5.50 by clicking </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6283/The-Kiss-Lip-Balm"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here.</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another Lush review for you all. I've been saving this for a while so I could give it a few uses to see how I really felt about it. I bought this product just after Christmas, around the same time as I picked up my <strong>Lush Breath of Fresh Air </strong>which I have reviewed <a href="http://melissaknowsbest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/lush-breath-of-fresh-air-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Grease Lightning</strong> is one of Lush's spot treatments, and I'd been wanting to try this for a while. I have never tried a spot treatment before, so I can't compare this to any other products. I've always just left my skin alone in that way, but decided I should just give it a try and see if it helped.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To use, simply clean your face as normal, following your normal skin routine. Then using just one pump (I actually try just to use a half one) apply to affected areas. I usually apply the pump to the back of my hand and then put it where I think it's needed. I also apply it to any areas where I think a spot might pop up, just to try and stop it in advance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">For ingredients, it has some great ones for tackling problem skin. There is tea tree oil which is a great antiseptic to clean out any infection. Witch hazel is included which helps in shrinking any spots so they are less visible. Another big ingredient is Aloe Vera, which is very soothing for the skin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I've really loved this product as I've found it's really helped in getting rid of spots, and stopping me from getting anymore. I apply this quite sparingly over my skin, and it hasn't dried it out at all, which was one of my biggest concerns.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Pros :</span></strong> </div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Not too expensive, £5.95 for a 45g bottle.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Long lasting.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Doesn't dry out skin.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Instantly calming.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Helps combat spots in advance.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Cons :</span></strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">None</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I highly recommend this product, so you should definitely check it out! A little question for you all, do you apply your spot treatment before or after moisturising? I've been doing it before, but I just wanted to check if anyone does this differently.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I only applied one coat of this as it isn't that noticeable anyway but I just like how it looks underneath.</span></div>

It makes me feel like I have princess nails. I applied only one coat of this last night as I didn't want it to be noticeable, but I've decided I'm going to apply another coat tonight because I want it super glittery.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As I've been promising for the past week or so, here is my review on one of my latest Lush purchases, <strong>Breath of Fresh Air</strong>. I bought this in their Boxing Day sale as it was 50% off, so I ended up paying around £3.70 for it instead of the usual £7.25. I will admit, if it wasn't on sale, I probably never would have bought it. However, I'm very glad I did!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Breath of Fresh Air is a toner water, but is also good at giving your skin a little refresher if you need it. It contains Aloe Vera which makes it great for locking in moisture, and helping if you have suffered from sunburn (not that you would in this weather, but maybe if we actually get some sun in the Summer!). The bottle also states that it's perfect if you travel a lot, or on a long haul flight, as it gives your skin some life again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To use, you can either spray directly on to your skin, and then wipe off with a cotton pad. Or, you can spritz on to the cotton pad and and then gently wipe it across your face. I personally, do the second. I use about three sprays, but my sister only uses two, so it's really up to you. This should follow your normal make up removal, as it helps to remove any excess make up and dirt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pros :</span></strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Inexpensive, only £3.95 for the smallest bottle, or £7.25 for the 250g bottle.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Excellent at removing any dirt or make up left on skin.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Doesn't remove any moisture from the skin, and instead, locks it in.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Soothes sunburn.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Can be transferred to a smaller bottle for travel purposes.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Can be used as a pick me up at any time of the day.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cons :</span></strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Honestly, I still haven't came across any!</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I really love this product, and I will most definitely be repurchasing once mine runs out. I've used this since I bought it on boxing day, which means it's been a month tomorrow, and it doesn't seem to have went down much. Once you see the excess make up that comes off </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">your face, you won't want to be without it! I'd hate to think how much I leave on my face when I think it's clean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you'd like to purchase this product, you can do so by clicking </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/61/100g---Breath-of-Fresh-Air-Toner-Water" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. </span><br />
