So I feel bad that recently I have found it hard to keep on top of it all, I haven't been posting regularly and I haven't been able to catch up with a lot of you and read as many blogs as I would like to!!<br />
<br />
I recently got a promotion in my job as an Events Supervisor - my title doesnt sound very much but I basically run events around the country for a premium clothing brand and am responsible for teams of up to 12 people. I now have an office job in London which includes booking all the events, staffing, etc aswel as then managing the events. As you can imagine I am constantly running around, travelling all over the country etc so getting down to writing posts has become a bit of an impossibility! It has meant though, that I have got around to some amazing places, got free tickets into prestigious shows and events and made some great friends. Including Cartier Polo, Badminton Horse Trials, Queens Tennis, Olympia London International Horse Show, Cowes Week, Henley Regatta, the list goes on! This year I am going to Germany for a horse show also which I am super excited for.<br />

As you can tell I am really excited and proud to have got so far in this job, so the point of this wasn't to boast but just explain why I am not on top of things, and just say that I really appreciate the support of anyone who ever reads this blog, and to all the people that I follow, that I still love all of your blogs and I hope to keep posting, reading your blogs and commenting !!<br />

These cost something ridiculous like $5 so I had to grab a few, and went for these pretty colours, in electric blue and grey.<br />

They are perfect for the waterline, creating a base for a smokey eye, etc. And because they are tiny they are good to travel with!!<br />
If any Americans are reading - whats the general opinion on Sephoras own range? Is it seen as cheap and nasty or generally good for a bargain?<br />

With its little hearts embossed all over the blush, its a pleasure to use and while I have no clue about the science behind it, it does make me smile anyway since it's pretty. It comes with a little flipup mirror with brush inside, which was a bit of a surprise, you probably wouldn't use it but the thought was there!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Absolutely in love with this and it gives a really pretty rosey glow. Definitely recommend!!<br />

You can get this product in the UK, but not readily, and mainly online - and for me an eyebrow pencil is not the sort of thing I would buy without trying first. I got the colour Medium Ash, which is a perfect match for me. The consistency is not that of a pencil but more like a soft, waxy stick that makes neat, precise lines without looking drawn on. Usually eyebrow pencils have too much of a red tone to them, and while I do have a reddish tone in my hair, I don't want it on my eyebrows!! I am soooo pleased with this product, and would be happy to now order it again and again.<br />

I've also had a bit of time by now to try all these things out now and have more of an idea what I would repurchase and stock up on if I were to go over again!!<br />
<br />
The first thing I have to say about America is that they are VERY lucky to have the amazing Sephora store, what I would do to get one of those over here!!! The other thing I love is that you can get miniatures of practically everything!!!!!<br />
<br />
I picked up some of these cute rollerball perfumes, at $20 each, as they are perfect gifts, for keeping in your handbag for top-ups throughout the day and travelling with!<br />

I got Vera Wang Princess, and Marc Jacobs Daisy, but they are also avaliable in most big name perfumes you can think of.<br />
<br />
Wish the UK would sort it out and get these!!!!<br />

This gorgeous pink shimmer will be perfect for the winter / party season, and with the formulation of these little pots already a firm favourite amongst beauty addicts everywhere - I'm sure I won't be the only one excited to use this!! These are perfect for a bit of shimmer and glam for nights out - and they do not budge.<br />
<br />
I already have one of the original shades in 'On and on Bronze'. They are so similar to Mac paint pots, they stay true to the claim of having 24 hour wear and 'tattoo'like longevity, and are perfect to use as a base, <br />

I know it may be a little sad but other girls that have a house with their boyfriend will understand: buying stuff to go in your own home is AMAZING and so much fun!!!! So its exciting to go into cheapo places like Tesco or the Range to find cute homey things. I think that if you have good taste you can shop anywhere and that goes for clothes also.<br />
<br />
While I was having a browse I found a VIVO stand which I have heard a lot about already through blogs in the past! I was really impressed by their collection of super affordable pallettes, especially eye shadows, and blushers. With most items at under the 5pound price point, I knew I had to give it a bash.<br />

I picked up this awesome Colour Block in 'Unprotected' eyeshadow palette which has more than a few shades comparable to the Naked palette! The shadows are of really great quality for the price.<br />
<br />
I also couldn't resist one of the baked blushers, and chose 'Peaches and Cream'.<br />

I am<i> in love</i> with this blusher, it gives such a pretty flush of colour, and I've been using it most days.<br />
Im amazed by how affordable this makeup collection is, and also the quality is great. I'm sad now that I didn't pick up a huuuuge bronzer pan for about 4 pounds. I did also get a mascara, that isn't worth mentioning, but I'm happy to accept that there will always be hit/miss products in cheaper ranges - I have found two products that I love though!<br />

While I was in New York I took so many photos of just beautiful items, that I could either not afford or didn't need. I thought at least I could share the pictures on this blog and we could collectively drool over the beauty of some of the things I found! <br />

If I went again I would love to take some street style photos, but I just wasn't brave enough! Also I was with my mum, and didn't want to drag her around while I chatted to strangers!!

All of us girlies by now are in love with Samantha Chapman's Real Tecniques brushes. Most of them are now a staple part of our makeup routine and personally I have been loving using the Stippling Brush to apply my foundation.<br />
<br />
Until this .... haha<br />

The brush is rounded and very dense. This means that it buffs foundation into the face leaving a flawless completely airbrushed finish and the brush does not absorb loads of product, which was my only complaint with the stippling brush.<br />
<br />
I'm just .... soooo undecided about this brush. I love that it's firm and buffs product in incredibly well, but I can't help thinking that its almost buffing all the product back off again! Sometimes I feel that its all so well blended and buffed that I never have enough foundation on!! Should't complain about having such a perfectly natural finish but ... I feel like I am actually putting more on than normal. I think this brush would be better suited to contouring cream products, on the cheek, as it is shaped well for that use and it was also hard to blend foundation in trickier areas such as around the nose/eye as the brush does not budge out of its shape - which is where the stipple brush is better suited.<br />
<br />
As ever though, the RT quality is amazing, the taklon bristles are super soft and it's a pleasure to apply your base. Has anyone else tried this brush yet???!! And what are your feelings on it??!<br />

I thought I would share a quick few photos from my trip to New York. The main reason I went over was because my uncle was getting married, and I'd never met him before so I flew over with my mummy to meet a whole other side of my family which was quite exciting!<br />
<br />
I had a couple of days in the city which I spent mostly in midtown / uptown doing shopping!! I will do a series of posts soon with all my goodies! Then we travelled up the Hudson river to Stonypoint, NY where my uncle had hired an amazing house by the lake for all the family wedding guests, to chill, drink and eat LOTS!<br />

I wanted to get something pretty small for postage's sake, but something fairly unobtainable in the UK and as far as I know, these have not yet been released here!
The prize for this giveaway is the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm, in 'Pink Punch'.<br />

<br />
It didn't prove difficult since every supermarket and pharmacy stocked the balms, for around 6 dollars. I chose the pink summer fruit version! They are made with shea butter and jojoba oil for 'happy, moist super smooth lips.'<br />

The consistency is like Body Shop lip butters if anyone has tried them before? It has quite a strong fruity smell which is not unpleasant but would make me feel a bit queasy after a while! I like that they are 100%, natural and 95% organic, paraben and petrolium free and not tested on animals.<br />

You can get hold of EOS balms on Ebay for around 5 pounds with postage, an example seller is linked <a href="http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/110941745611?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&cbt=y">here.</a><br />

While I was away I picked up a couple of exciting America things to give away to my lovely readers sooo ... later on this evening my next post will be about a giveaway of another American beauty product that we are yet to see over here in the UK! Sadly for this reason it will be open to UK followers only. Can you guess what the prize will be ??!!<br />

<br />
This months box has been designed for Glossybox by Maggie Li -a London illustrator. It's a really pretty pastel creation that I'm sure we will all be finding alternative uses for! The theme was 'Rising Stars' introducing us to some of the most exciting 'up and coming' stars in beauty... Here's what I got:<br />

Helloooo, I'm Laura and I'm a blogging newbie. I started blogging
last month as <a href="http://ilikecrayonsxo.blogspot.co.uk/">'l is for ladybird'</a> and I've had such a blast doing it so
far. I enjoy posting about lots of things that I like, and want to share
with you, but I also enjoy the social part of blogging too. The support
over my first month of blogging has been phenominal and I've met some
lovely people who I can't wait to get to know better as I continue to
blog. So yes, if you'd like to follow me in my travels as I continue to
blog, I'd love to have you on board. P.s, I can't wait to meet you!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<b>1. What would you like to be when you grow up?!</b> <i>When I grow up, I want to be a lawyer. Don't fall asleep just
yet, its not all boring, I promise. I'm currently at university studying
my bum off to get to where I want to be, and I can't wait to get into
the working world and do it for real!</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. What is THE best foundation of all time?</b> <i>I've been very fourtunate with foundations in that, I found one I
liked at a relatively young age and as it does everything that I
personally want from a foundation, I've never felt the need to change
it, why fix what isn't broken, right? Anyway,my foundation of choice is
bourjois 10 hour sleep effect.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3. What's the most expensive beauty item you own?</b> <i>Oh gosh, I don't really own anthing too pricey, although I do
spend a fair amount on bronzers, but that's due to the sheer quantity of
them, not their individual prices.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4. What is your favourite post of your own / the one you would most like new readers to see?</b> <i>My favourite post is a
tricky one as I'm forever adding new ones. I guess if it were to be one
I'd like new readers to see it'd be the first little introductory post I
wrote, jut so they get to know a little about me and my life, as when
I'm commenting on on blog I like to feel that I know that person, if
that makes sense. I feel it enables you to make comments more personal.
If I see a comment from someone who speaks about my past posts and has
taken the time to try to get to know me, I instantly want to get to know
them too and its so great making new friends on here, so yes, my about
me post, or even the little about me bit under my blog picture.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5. Your favourite small blog to read? (Under 500 followers)</b> <i><a href="http://lolarose1.blogspot.co.uk/">LolaRose </a>-
This girl is so incredibly sweet and she has hair like ariel, the
little mermaid, which his amazing in itself. She hasn't been blogging
long, like myself, but I already adore her and her blog. She's so caring
and considerate and just so much fun. Also, she has some amazing
clothes and you should really pop over and say hello!</i><br />
<br />
Have a looky around Lauras blog <a href="http://ilikecrayonsxo.blogspot.co.uk/" style="color: #e06666;">l is for ladybird</a> and follow her!! If you would like to feature your blog just leave a comment below and I will be happy to consider it for future posts!<i> </i></div>

Hi girlies, I'm Leona from <a href="http://lolarose1.blogspot.ie/">LolaRose - Irish Fashion and Beauty Blogger</a> .<br />
I am an 18year old Irish, soon to be PR student who loves all things <i>girly</i>, <u>blingy</u> and <b>OTT</b>!!<br />
I specialise mainly in OOTD/N's as I find them to attract the most attention but I also do product reviews. This is actually my second blog but I decided to start LolaRose as my other blog didn't go in the direction I had hoped for despit having over 200 followers!<br />
I feel much more confident about my new blog and already I see it going in the right direction despite only having it for over a month:) <br />
The thing I love most about blogging is the fact it gives me so much confidence to see people actually like how I look and the clothes I wear as normal girls are very bitchy towards me despite not knowing me! I love how genuine and lovely the girls are here on blogger towards eachother. <br />
<br />
The lovely Samantha has written a few questions for me to answer; So lets get started!!<br />
<br />
<b>1. What would you like to be when you grow up?! </b><i>I would love to be a journalist or just a general PR representing celebs, hopefully I will be able to achieve one of these goals as both are applicable in the course I have chosen :) </i><br />
<b></b><br />
<b>2. What is THE best foundation of all time?! </b><i>I have whittled my way through MANY bottles of foundation from Rimmel to M.A.C to Make up Forever to Este Lauder and I have to be honest, for lasting power, instant coverage it has to be "Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hour lasting Founation" Although M.A.C's Studio Fix Fluid is a close second;) </i><br />
<i></i><br />
<b>3. What is the most expensive beauty item that you own </b><i>Ehhh off the top of my head this is quite difficult but the first thing that comes to mind is again M.A.C's Studio Fix Fluid @ €36.50. On second thoughts I do have Chanel Chance perfume which costs €134 here in Ireland, thats beauty related, isn't it ?!</i><br />
<i></i><br />
<b>4. What is your favourite post of your own / the one you would most like new readers to see? </b><i>The post I was most excited to write was definately my Debs/Prom post which you can see <a href="http://lolarose1.blogspot.ie/2012/08/ootd-my-debsprom.html">here</a> , But unfortunately I feel like I wrote it when I only had 20 odd followers and it didn't get the audience it deserved! </i><br />
<b></b><br />
<b>5. Your favourite small blog link to read? (Under 500 followers) </b><i>It's got to be Allie's from Big Hair Bigger Heels which you can find <a href="http://bighairbiggerheels.blogspot.ie/">here.</a> I love everything about this blog, it's name, Allie's look and Allie herself she always writes the loveliest comments on my posts:)</i><br />
I love love love answering questions like these and I especially liked Samantha's choice of questions so well done you!!<br />
Thanks again for choosing me for this wonderful idea hun :)<br />

It wouldn't be my first choice of colour in a gloss, I prefer pinks, but this is a pearlescent, clear gloss with flecks of glitter. It smells of sugar and candyfloss which I really love! The consistency once on the lips is smooth, not sticky, and gives the effect of fuller, plump lips.<br />
<br />
I don't usually wear gloss but this is a lovely, comfortable every day gloss that would look great over a pink or nude lipstick. I'm definitley a fan!<br />

<br />
So I have been writing this blog for a few months now and am really appreciative of my followers, the people who take time to read my posts and comment. I feel that it is hard sometimes to put a personal touch into your blog, particularly since I am reluctant to post photos of myself or include OOTD's or FOTD's (although I would love to include outfits at some stage.)<br />
<br />
I also always look forward to reading new blogs and discovering new talent and style, and think its important to support the small blogs and the effort that their writers put into keeping them up to date and interesting!<br />
<br />
Rather than selling advertising space like I have seen other bloggers do - Every week I would like to feature a follower of my blog, to introduce them and to showcase their blog! So if you think yours is appropriate (beauty, fashion, etc) comment on this post and each week I will choose a lady to interview. Obviously the only condition being that you are a follower of my blog. Hopefully some of you will find new blogs to follow! <br />
<br />

As you can see it is a loose shimmer shadow, in a very unusual colour: Dragon Scales. I can see why it didn't exactly fly off the shelves - but then I think its a gorgeous shade! Full price these shadows cost<span class="st"> £12 which I think is a reasonable price for the quality and in comparison to other high end loose shadows.</span><br />
<span class="st">This may be a difficult colour to wear but I have green eyes so copper/orange tones suit me, and I think this would look great over a black base.</span><br />

<span class="st"> It's so difficult to capture a beautiful colour in a photo, but the shade has many dimensions. When first applied it appears as a brown shimmer with a green tinge but when blended has more of a reddish tone. Definitley alike to dragon scales! The powder is soft and blendable and for</span><span class="st"> £2 I am so impressed. I've never heard of Lime Crime before has anyone else tryed any of their products?</span><br />

I'm very much a gel liner girl so I had forgotten how simple and quick liquid pen applicators can be! I love the soft colour of this and it made me want to revert back to my old black liner pens. The nib is long and pointed, moist not scratchy and yuk like some can be, and in general I really enjoyed using it! The nature of the nib means that you can draw fine, delicate lines or use the edge for a thicker effect. The result is not fully opaque but a soft colour. I would recommend this pen for eyeliner users or first timers due to the easy application.<br />
<br />
I was going to put a link here for May's original review of the Gosh pens but it appears to no longer be on her blog, so here is a<a href="http://www.smoochblog.com/"> link to her blog</a> so you can have a read!<br />

So far this blog has been mainly on beauty topics, but I love fashion and clothing! I'm definitley not brave enough to do OOTD's or FOTD's (I salute you if you do!) but sometimes I find some gems that should be shared and we all love a good haul!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Zara Hotpants</span> - First of all check out these INSANELY hot Zara hotpants - I am just so in love with them. The first day I got them I pranced around my bedroom and my boyfriend said I looked like Cheryl Cole. So now obviously I think I'm Cheryl Cole when I'm wearing them. (So naat the case.) Sadly the weather hasn't really been up to cracking this bad boy pair out.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Primark Aztec Shorts</span> - I'm a lover of all things aztec, I don't care wether it's 'in' or not.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Primark Sweat</span> - Don't underestimate the Mens department girls! I have picked up so many great sweats and jumpers this year that are fun, cheap and you won't see them around often. This long sleeved grey has flecks of neon orange and yellow which I love!<br />
<div style="color: #e06666;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">H&M Pearl Collar</span> - While the collar craze is still about, I loved this pearly embellishment and soft chiffon blue top.<br />
<div style="color: #e06666;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">H&M Cats Camisole</span> - This was in the sale for <span class="st">£</span>5 ... What more can I say. It's a bit crazy and has cats, panthers, leopards ... I love it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Primark Shoe Boots</span> - I've been looking out for a pair of these babies for a while, so couldn't believe my luck when they popped up in Primarni for around <span class="st">£16. Black suede with gold zips and tassels to the back.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st"><span style="color: #e06666;">Accessorize Snakeskin Clutch</span> - This was reduced down to a ridiculous </span><span class="st">£7 - I loved the gold panther and snakeskin detail.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">So these are my recent shopping favourites - let me know what you think and leave links to your recent hauls below I need some new bloggage to read!!</span><br />

I was so massively disappointed by this product. I don't know what I expected, having snapped it up for a mere<span class="st"> £2, but still this shadow was just pathetic. As you can see I've included a swatch photo on my finger, where the colour looks gorgeous (I was very excited at this point) but when I went to apply to the back of my hand, the colour literally did not transfer at all and I was just pushing around a couple of specks of glitter. The same thing happened when I used a brush.</span></div>

<span class="st">I can't comment on texture, how it blends, durability or even colour payoff since this product has not yet made it onto my face. I'm so sad :( but not overly suprised now that it was selling at such a low price.</span></div>

<span class="st">Has anyone tryed any other LM eye products? I haven't written off the brand at all, as I know they make some great products, but it's still a disappointment as I was so excited to recieve it!!</span></div>
