My boyfriend Will carved these pumpkins and they came out absolutely awesome! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They were done by attaching pumpkin stencil patterns over the pumpkin and poking holes through to trace the pattern. You then remove the template and carry on by hand carving the pattern. Stenicls are a great way to make your pumpkins look professional and if you google you can find probably almost any template you wanted. They still require a lot of skill though and perhaps a natural artistic flare as I know if I had attempted it myself they would have looked terrible lol!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
An update on me: Me and my boyfriend Will moved to Birmingham from Scotland just over one year ago for his new job. I think it's a great place with a lot to do and we live in a lovely little flat by the canal. I am currently volunteering at a vegetarian cafe and enjoying contributing to something I believe in. We also have our first pet, a sweet hamster called Abe who I will definitely introduce at some point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I think I will get back in to blogging at some point soon. I wanted to blog about my kitchen so I expect that post will be next! I can't even see if I still have any followers as the box won't load for me but if anyone is reading this then HELLO and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I only came on here quickly to share these pumpkins to help people searching for pumpkins next year so I havn't looked at any one elses posts, how would I begin catching up on a year's worth of posts LOL? So if anyone wants to share there Halloween with me then comment below.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">What do you ♥ about Halloween?</span></strong></div>Lu - The Pink Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17026689676170585338noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775918335810226620.post-82866776940703684532010-06-14T18:09:00.004+01:002010-06-14T18:50:56.702+01:00Just A Girl becomes The Pink Bandit<div style="text-align: center;">This is just a short post to say welcome to my newly re-named blog (and new blog header!)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I was previously Just A Girl:</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCCAjt3mi8QQJVLPJxTfhAh1DnZR3VFPOPRqjhhGapPWID4sql_SnLZb6y20F8kLjOoqmBuspA_n3191NhcyD-ORVtvdw1jeOuXceGaSK0xErLBWjm8TcfSQyx4rgy3f89Ub3M_lDvQrY/s1600/Just+a+girl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCCAjt3mi8QQJVLPJxTfhAh1DnZR3VFPOPRqjhhGapPWID4sql_SnLZb6y20F8kLjOoqmBuspA_n3191NhcyD-ORVtvdw1jeOuXceGaSK0xErLBWjm8TcfSQyx4rgy3f89Ub3M_lDvQrY/s400/Just+a+girl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I decided to change my blog name as 'Just A Girl' was inspired by one of my fave No Doubt songs 'Just a Girl' (duh). The lyrics of that song are packed full of sarcasm though and the song is about how she is actually so much MORE than 'just a girl'. Whereas I felt my blog title of 'Just A Girl' came off rather flat and actually sounded like I meant i'm 'just some girl', if you see what I mean.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, I've seen a few other 'Just a Girl' out there so wanted to find something more original.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, I've seen a lot of Zebra print backgrounds out there (even though I love it), I just decided to change my background fabric to make my blog that bit more unique.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I also have a new email and twitter (it's the same twitter re-named actually) which you can find in the 'contact me' section, if you need me.<br />
<br />
My blog URL has not changed though because if you change your URL then your followers will no longer get the feed in their dashboard without re-following.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I plan on returning to blogging fairly soon but felt like I should inform you all of the name change before you wondered who on earth 'The Pink Bandit' was on your list hehe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've really missed catching up on people's blogs and I'm really looking forward to seeing what I've missed over the last few months! I hope you are all well.<br />

I've now passed 200 followers and I'm so grateful to you all for reading and commenting. Mwah! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now on to a review of a product I recently discovered which I <span style="color: red;"><strong>LOVE</strong></span>!</div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Dylash by Eylure - 45 Day Mascara</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF9XX7isW_uLem_R-JTgxDwFI2QjoCNzf6AotePc6r90kwPfWFELAB_tmyBL3LEBOf-51J-pjcUjVz1yreDG2z8jJ5Dzcabk-JSnVbT1l_Zt4_iZzSNZC6snmqwTf7o6asHAgl26XjsKs/s1600-h/ThePinkBandit%20blogspot%20eylure%20dylash%20blue%20black%20box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF9XX7isW_uLem_R-JTgxDwFI2QjoCNzf6AotePc6r90kwPfWFELAB_tmyBL3LEBOf-51J-pjcUjVz1yreDG2z8jJ5Dzcabk-JSnVbT1l_Zt4_iZzSNZC6snmqwTf7o6asHAgl26XjsKs/s320/ThePinkBandit%20blogspot%20eylure%20dylash%20blue%20black%20box.jpg" width="264" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The product claims:</strong></span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>"Long lasting colour for dark, glossy lashes and brows. Easy and safe to use. Up to 12 applications."</strong></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I think the term 'mascara' is a little misleading as this product is actually a permanent dye for your eyelashes (and brows) which is supposed to last for up to six weeks.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have naturally dark hair but very pale (but long) eyelashes and the roots of my eyelashes are blonde so without mascara my lashes are practically invisible. So I googled for information about eyelash tinting at Salons and found that it is typically around £10 for just one visit. I've never had this done before but I felt it could get expensive as your eyelashes fall out and replenish themselves within a 2-3 month cycle so I googled to see if there was any D.I.Y. Eyelash tinting kits and came across DYLASH. I also came across 'Colorsport 30 Day Mascara' but all the reviews I've read seemed to say that DYLASH was better.<br />
<br />
</div><div align="right" style="text-align: justify;">I chose the colour BLUE/BLACK as it is supposed to give a more intense and glossy colour than just 'Black', which gives a matte black finish.</div><div align="right" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Here's the contents:</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Included in the kit are:</span></strong></div><ul><li><strong>10ml bottle of Activating Solution</strong></li>
<li><strong>5ml tube of Cream Colour</strong> (in Blue/Black)</li>
<li><strong>1 white mixing stick</strong></li>
<li><strong>1 applicator brush wand</strong></li>
<li><strong>8 paper strips</strong> (to place under eyes).</li>
<li>A bowl shaped indent in the package to use as a mixing place.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">Two other things which aren't included but you will NEED are <strong>Vaseline</strong> to spread around your eyes to prevent the skin from dyeing and gentle <strong>face wipes</strong> to wipe drips or product out of eyes etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div align="center" style="text-align: center;">So here is a picture of my eyelashes before I dyed them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I was SO excited to try Dylash that I didn't want to waste time taking many photos but you can see the blonde roots of my lashes and how pale they are.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">My experiences to note:</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I left mine on for 20 mins, instead of the 10 advised as I wanted to give it chance to go dark and I was worried my tears would have diluted it lol!<br />
<br />
I applied it on the underside if my eyelashes like normal mascara and also brushed it on the top of my eyelashes and left plenty on the roots. I think I made way too much of the dye though.<br />
<br />
You are advised to close your eyes for the 10 minutes while the Dye is on but in my experience this was a big mistake as I had loaded the underside of my eyelashes with too much dye and when I closed my eyes I got a lot of stinging and watering like so:</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAT251qxASyH0VfQXFpXcO-FfaDHWFuZfQnvFj7ZxfLN0o35W83iyNl-k7Ke0qGjUCn1mXDWEgqSXg3b9rV5JAIurmEkGLZBsjycfpuDyBj-w1ek90PFUAmX8pDPoO4FrE2-XBXSu-gs/s1600-h/The%20Pink%20Bandit%20blogspot%20eylure%20dylash%20dye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAT251qxASyH0VfQXFpXcO-FfaDHWFuZfQnvFj7ZxfLN0o35W83iyNl-k7Ke0qGjUCn1mXDWEgqSXg3b9rV5JAIurmEkGLZBsjycfpuDyBj-w1ek90PFUAmX8pDPoO4FrE2-XBXSu-gs/s320/The%20Pink%20Bandit%20blogspot%20eylure%20dylash%20dye.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Ouch!</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">If this happens then take your time and wipe the dye out of your eyes gently with a face/eye wipe. I think it's better to leave your eyes open but it's up to you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, I found the applicator wand to be too small so I would advise just using and old, clean, mascara wand and brushing the dye on like a normal mascara as it will be much less likely to get in your eyes that way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Use an old tray or towel to do this on as I did this on a white bedspread and dropped the wand with dye all over it, oopsie! Similarly, wear an old t-shirt or something just in case.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The skin on my face was not left with ANY dye on at all afterwards so that's good, just remember to use Vaseline.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, it is very important that you NEVER attempt to dye your eyelashes with regular hair dye as they may contain ammonia etc which should not be put anywhere near your eyes! A sensitivity test is advised to be carried out 48 hours before you dye your eyelashes also.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So anyway, the process was a bit sore but will get easier with practice and now for the results pictures without a scrap of mascara on (I've used eyelash curlers though).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">After:</span></strong><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Dylash, where have you been all my life?!</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm SO SO SO happy with the results! Remember, this is a dye, not a mascara so it doesn't actually lengthen or thicken. Though in the process of darkening your pale lashes, I guess it does actually give the appearance of lengthening and thickening and even wearing a bit of eyeliner, if you see what I mean. They look really natural too! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My new-found dark eyelashes won't mean that I'm never wearing mascara again of course, but I will go without it more often like when just popping to the shops whereas previously I would NEVER leave the house without mascara. I feel much happier about the way I look without mascara now which is great! I'll still be layering on the mascara for important occasions obviously though hehe. But, in the mean time I'm so happy to have found something which has made me feel better and more confident and is a real time saver too!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Dylash is also ideal for those with pale lashes who may swim or go to the gym a lot and find that water-proof mascara just doesn't cut it.</div><div align="center" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<strong>Available: </strong><span style="color: #20124d;">BLUE/BLACK</span>, <strong>BLACK</strong> and <span style="color: #783f04;">BROWN</span>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pros:</strong> Gives a permanent (while your lashes last!) glossy colour. It really works!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Cons:</strong> Can sting if you get it in your eyes.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Would I buy again?</strong> YES! I intend to use this FOREVER lol.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

But since I became a 'Lush' fanatic two years ago, I have been up bright and early on boxing day to head down to Lush to get a bargain in their Boxing Day sale. I did get lots of lovely Lush but this post is dedicated to the other sale items I picked up afterwards when I went to Accessorize and Next for their HALF PRICE (or less!) sales!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First up is this purse (or could be used as a make-up bag) which I absolutely LOVE!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I think she's lovely and I got it because it's a mini hot-water bottle (around 25x18 cm) as I find normal size hot-water bottles can feel pretty heavy on your stomach when full with water so this is a lovely smaller size. I saw a very similar Pink Russian Doll HWB in Accessorize after which was probably a little nicer though.<br />

<div align="center">This Christmas stocking caught my eye. It was <strong>£10</strong> reduced from £20 from <strong>Next</strong>.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's very shabby-chic and I'd been after a pretty stocking for a while so I'm very happy with this. I would've paid £10 for the stocking alone but this actually contained a pyjama set (as pictured) so I got some nice red PJ's as a bonus!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">An Owl tape measure! He was <strong>£3</strong> reduced from £6 from <strong>Next</strong>.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">His left wing pulls out as the tape measure and there is a button on his back which you press to wind the tape measure back in. I like to measure things to give people more info for my blog and this little fellow will put a smile on my face every time I measure from now on :)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do think both Accessorize and Next have a lot of overpriced items to start with but that their sales can be a great way to get them for less money. I think the quality of their stuff is fabulous though and if you have the patience to shop in the sales then it can be a great way to buy next year's Christmas presents (or decorations) for half price! But the queue in NEXT was UNREAL. Still, I waited paitiently cuz no way was I going home without my owl tape measure! <br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't wear skirts or dresses all that often, but when I do I usually always wear tights (just nude or black). So when I saw lots of coloured tights in <strong>Primark</strong>, I decided to purchase pretty much all of the colour range as they are so cheap and can really inject some colour into outfits (and you can use them to accessorise colours ie with your bag or earrings).<br />

I got Lilac, Cobalt, Turquoise, Floral, Khaki, Green, Wine, Red and Pink. They are all Opaque and quite thick (50 denier) so they do keep your legs warm (ish). Green, Turquoise and Lilac were half price at just 50p each! The rest were £1 each except the floral ones which were £4.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <strong>Pink</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>My verdict:</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think 'Pink' and 'Cobalt' are perhaps too bright to work with for daily outfits for ME. I'd prefer them for glam nights out with glitzy dresses etc. And I was quite dissapointed with the floral ones because of the seams on both sides of each leg. They look ok from the front (or back) but from the side.....hmmmmm. At £4 for those ones I thought they'd look better.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But the rest = <span style="color: red;">♥</span> <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Trying to decide which are my favourite. Lilac, Wine and Green are the winners for me I think, even though I did feel abit like the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz in the Green tights hehe! <br />
<br />
Next on my wishlist would be tights with hearts on like:<br />

So here goes:<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1.</strong> I LOVE food! Kate Moss was recently under fire for saying ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’. She must be eating the wrong things! There is so many wonderful foods/cuisines/tastes out there and I think it’s sad if people would rather starve than enjoy their food especially given that many people of the world are genuinely starving. Food is something we have to eat everyday, we might aswell enjoy it. I see it as a pleasure rather than a chore. Good food and tastes make me happy :)<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. </strong>I’m kinda addicted to Pizza. It might be because I was also addicted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was younger?! On a side note – who was your favourite turtle? Mine was always Raphael. I know he’s kinda the serious one but I just loved his witty and sarcastic streak. Anyway, enough about turtles........Pizza leads me onto my next thing.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.</strong> I kinda love Cheese! I like to try all different types and love looking at the deli bits in the supermarket. Currently loving Mexican cheese (with pepper/jalepenos in it). I know it’s bad for me...which leads me onto my next thing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4.</strong> I’ve never been entirely happy with my weight. I do diet but I don’t starve myself.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5.</strong> I love Disney (especially the 'Classic' range). My favourite is Beauty and the Beast. Oddly though, I don’t like ‘Chick Flicks’ but I do like fairytale romances like Disney and 'Penelope' and 'Enchanted' and Tim Burton (esque) romances like Jack&Sally, Ned and Chuck and Romeo and Juliet!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6.</strong> I want to be a ninja! Or a spy! Or a masked Crusader. Or a Pirate! I know it’s unrealistic (duh!) but i’ve always loved stuff like that. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7.</strong> I wouldn't say I'M scared of heights but my LEGS are! It's weird, my legs physically don't work properly at heights. Even if I don't feel scared, my legs go like jelly. The worst ever is if I have to walk on see-through floors or stairs with gaps in etc. Stupid legs!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8. </strong>I can’t draw. I’m so jealous of people who can and I love art and seeing other people’s talent. Seriously, the best I can manage is stick figures. Not fair!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9.</strong> I'm too scared to learn to drive at the moment but hoping I will get round to it in the future.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>10.</strong> I know I have a blog about beauty etc but I pride myself on not being ‘shallow’ or ‘superficial’ where it counts. I can see BEYOND looks! I've seen people on twitter calling other bloggers ‘Ugly’ and to be honest, they make me sick. I'm so open-minded and understanding of all people and I hate to see people being bullied. I will always stand up for people and do the right thing, even if I’m in a minority of one! I hope that doesn’t sound too pretentious but it’s true. I'm not here to just be 'one of the popular people'.<br />
<br />
I tag anyone who wants to be honest!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My most recent Award is the "I Love Your Blog' award which I have received at the same time from the equally fabulous <a href="http://tanyatalksmakeup.blogspot.com/">Tanya</a> and <a href="http://tinytowngal.blogspot.com/">Small Town Gal</a> and <a href="http://tasteslikeglitterr.blogspot.com/">Bicky</a> <---- Go check out their blogs!<br />

*edit There was a lot more people on this list but I've removed those who blatantly ignored me yet continued doing tags from other people. Not worth my blog space :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have loads more favourites (including a lot of the well known 'gurus' who you all probs follow anyway, so sorry I can't fit everyone in! I just went through the list I follow and picked out the people who I either talk or comment on their blogs most I guess. But I stalk alot of you silently hehe! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuzrLzOr82Ouy3_4eiNgAdZjg7Ks9rJ5npipcLkQfoBuhaP_GfCPNo_c40Qc-6J9dP8f2VBaLIjO3wGqRdCHQ7bWUtztIPgDQO8HwJ9r76C4tgDw6zRwjLFIGOyixf3x7RuFcOUziMtw/s1600/Beautiful+blogger+award.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuzrLzOr82Ouy3_4eiNgAdZjg7Ks9rJ5npipcLkQfoBuhaP_GfCPNo_c40Qc-6J9dP8f2VBaLIjO3wGqRdCHQ7bWUtztIPgDQO8HwJ9r76C4tgDw6zRwjLFIGOyixf3x7RuFcOUziMtw/s200/Beautiful+blogger+award.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I was also award the 'Beautiful blogger award' by <a href="http://jadoreparisboutique.blogspot.com/">LaurenRoseParis</a> and <a href="http://rottenotter-666.blogspot.com/">RottenOttersThoughts</a>. Thankyou!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have to tell you 7 interesting things about myself. I can't guarantee these will interest you but here goes:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1.</strong> I've always loved animals and have been a vegetarian since I was 10.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2.</strong> I love movies and have a thing for 80's classics in particular including Labyrinth, The Goonies, The Lost Boys, Ferris Bueller's Day Off etc etc. R.I.P. John Hughes!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.</strong> I said earlier I always like to try different foods, well i’m the same with beauty products. Even if I find one that 'works', I can't help but try other things that catch my eye, just incase I'm missing out hehe!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4.</strong> I’m such a dreamer and have a wild imagination. My dreams are nearly always amazing, I can dream about flying, being in submarines, dinosaurs etc and I can smell and taste in my dreams too and i’m so grateful for it as my bf says he can't do any of that stuff in his dreams :-p</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5.</strong> I love Tim Burton. I would love to live in a world created by Tim Burton.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6.</strong> I love space. I love the stars. I love the universe. I think that with ‘Space’ as infinitely big as it is, there just must be more life out there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7.</strong> It's the 'little things' that make me happy :) Including people reading my blog. So thanks for reading guys and dolls and if you got this far then give yourselves a pat on the back and be entertained by this dancing banana! (You deserve it!)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">Hello lovely followers!</span></strong><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thought I'd share my newest purchase incase any of you were after a new mirror or wanted something pretty to stick on your Christmas List!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So here is Erikson Beamons for Debenhams "Cream Pearl Dressing Table Mirror", which I purchased on their website <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_98765_1124248_-1?CMP=OTC-GOOGLEPS">here</a> for £22. I also used the code 'SHD1' to get free delivery worth £3.95 so i'm happy with that!<br />
</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I was just flicking through the website and this caught my eye, I loved everything about it, the shape, the colour, the pearls etc. But upon arrival, there is only one thing I don't like about it - the size! The thing is, the measurements were actually given on the website so I feel stupid for not checking them out first so it's totally my own fault lol. So if you're about to order something, always whip out a tape measure and check the sizes to avoid dissapointment. Don't get me wrong, it's not a teeny tiny micro invisible mirror. It's absolutely fine for doing your makeup in but not your hair really (unless you have short hair I guess!). Though if you were after a beautiful make-up mirror which didn't take up much space then this may just be perfect for you!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The measurements given on the site are 29 x 18cm.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This is accurate but that's from the top of the mirror to the bottom of the stand and from either side of the silver balls. The mirror itself is a around 7 x 5 inches<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My first thoughts upon seeing the box were 'Hmmmm that's quite a small box' and when I pulled the mirror out I initially felt dissappointed as the mirror was quite a bit smaller than I had imagined. However, my immediate second thought was 'Gosh it's sooooooo beautiful though, really well made!'. It's like a fairy-tale mirror!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There seems to be a yellow tinge on the picture but the base it totally cream, no dark patches!</span><br />
</div> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Initially I was in two minds about whether to keep it or return it because I was after something bigger but I've fallen in love with it, it really is stunning and it looks alot more expensive than it is. Every little pearl is perfect and it's all shiny and lovely, there is no imperfections with the mirror whatsoever. It is so pretty and it's one of those rare things that actually looks a lot better in real life than it does on the website.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The mirror can be moved and tightentened into position with the silver balls either side. And another neat feature is that the mirror can be removed from the back. So the mirror can be replaced should you ever smash it or it could actually be turned into a beautiful photo frame if you'd prefer<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I haven't got a proper dressing table yet but I can imagine this looking magical on any dressing table. I plan to use something to prop it up abit though as it's not very tall.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But I guess good things sometimes do come in small packages, as they say :)<br />

Haul - New Studio Line products<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Hola!</span><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I just thought I'd show you some quick pics of my recent ELF haul from <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/">http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/</a> incase any of you were thinking about buying some of their new products or any of their new studio line. Before I buy things I always like to get as much info as I can about stuff so I always google to try to find pictures or swatches or measurements first and I find that ELF don't give sizes or state the contents of liquid in mls etc so I thought this post may help.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I won't be doing any reviews in this post as I plan to review most of it separately and I've only just got them so haven't played with them yet!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So here is what £33 of ELF looks like:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(It is free delivery for spending over £30).<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And now for the closeups and some info:<br />

</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">This is the new <strong>'Daily Brush Cleanser'</strong>- £3.50 and the <strong>'Brush Shampoo</strong> - £3.50 from ELF's new Studio Line. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 'Daily Brush Cleanser' is 250ml (quite big!) while the Brush Shampoo is 120ml. And these are both anti-bacterial which is why I bought them.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I will review these at a later point. I've never tried brush shampoos or cleanser before so i'm excited!<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzIdjkckWvrzhauUC6ZXV3ZSufYG1H9wx6ND0tJfBVgUtXmPa5Dv76PETznAVRTozUUAAJR3mPTcrKZQ7Jhn68to886q01fDi8XNl4qiFGdV5hwB1SBU7iNniRolEGDXrSEX_YIZFqFI/s1600/JustaGirllu+blog+ELF+eyeshadow+c+brush+blending+brush+eye+widener.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzIdjkckWvrzhauUC6ZXV3ZSufYG1H9wx6ND0tJfBVgUtXmPa5Dv76PETznAVRTozUUAAJR3mPTcrKZQ7Jhn68to886q01fDi8XNl4qiFGdV5hwB1SBU7iNniRolEGDXrSEX_YIZFqFI/s640/JustaGirllu+blog+ELF+eyeshadow+c+brush+blending+brush+eye+widener.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Here is the new <strong>'Eyeshadow C Brush'</strong> - £3.50 from the Studio Line.and one of their normal <strong>'Eyeshadow Brushes'</strong> -£1.50. Then also the <strong>'Blending Eye Brush'</strong> - £1.50 but it seems to be in the wrong packet as the packet says 'Lip Defining Brush' but it is the correct brush inside. Then on the right is the <strong>'Eye Widener'</strong> - £1.50 which is basically a white eyeliner to apply in the corner of the eyes to make the eye appear wider! The lid of this is also a sharpener which is cool.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I already have a normal ELF 'Eyeshadow Brush' so this was a spare but I am planning on ordering some equivalent MAC brushes online to compare these cheaper ELF ones to the expensive MAC ones but the MAC brushes have been out of stock for so long! So when they get back in stock I will review and compare all of these brushes.<br />
</div><br />
<br />

</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">This is the <strong>'High Definition Powder'</strong> - £6 for 8g which ELF claims "creates a soft focus effect to the skin and masks fine lines and imperfections for a radiant complexion." Sounds exciting! The powder itself looks white but applies sheer and I plan to test it as a setting powder for my foundation.<br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4tjUC2Pfo2A_SGRgfo-kyeRTqCLCe2tLBJ8rlnEjHXrTu5SRrJUKJXPvsrPhc9u6D40FHV0rm3DYVdhtqUTF5AlyfEr8IKvfHP3tmfh9JL1-LeASlAuh22cND2qDlHGANlTJ9fRPMg5U/s1600/justagirllublog+ELF+mineral+face+primer+eyeline+eyeshadow+primer.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4tjUC2Pfo2A_SGRgfo-kyeRTqCLCe2tLBJ8rlnEjHXrTu5SRrJUKJXPvsrPhc9u6D40FHV0rm3DYVdhtqUTF5AlyfEr8IKvfHP3tmfh9JL1-LeASlAuh22cND2qDlHGANlTJ9fRPMg5U/s640/justagirllublog+ELF+mineral+face+primer+eyeline+eyeshadow+primer.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This is the stuff I can't wait to try!<br />
</div><br />
<strong>Mineral Infused Face Primer</strong> - £6 for 14g<br />
<br />
<strong>Eyelid Primer</strong> - £1.50 for 5ml<br />
<br />
<strong>Mineral Eyeshadow Primer</strong> - £3.00 for 4.5g<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm planning to review all these in an upcoming primer post and compare the new ELF eyeshadow primers to the famous Urban Decay Primer potion (which I love). I wonder if these will be any good!<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6zmup4E999NbPvRrBAGjsdWFb_gEzuYlbn4nV4FJ3TCLMyD8TSlyknwMHFnx2ejjtp41OAS57H_1JPbroRo6fvx1eEUrbx955eUHhntej28mcRGwl5_6uXiLO9uHasKfjeQDh3nb4xo/s1600/justagirllu+blog+ELF+elements+compact+MAC.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6zmup4E999NbPvRrBAGjsdWFb_gEzuYlbn4nV4FJ3TCLMyD8TSlyknwMHFnx2ejjtp41OAS57H_1JPbroRo6fvx1eEUrbx955eUHhntej28mcRGwl5_6uXiLO9uHasKfjeQDh3nb4xo/s640/justagirllu+blog+ELF+elements+compact+MAC.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><br />
And finally, here is the <strong>'Elements Custom Compact'</strong> - £1.50<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">This is designed to fit ELF eyhadows/blushers/lip pans......BUT.........I have seen online that these are also a perfect fit for MAC eyeshadow pans! So, as I plan on making my first MAC order soon, I got this compact to put my first future MAC eyeshadow pan in as the MAC palletes are alot more expensive than just £1.50 for this one! And this ELF one is small, portable and includes a mirror (unlike MAC).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And there we have it. Any questions about sizes/amounts etc etc then just ask. There is also <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/">http://www.eyeslipsface.com/</a> for international beauty lovers.<br />
<br />
Do you already have any of these or plan to?<br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is my first ever Sleek Palette and I picked it up from Superdrug yesterday for £4.87 (bargain!)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've heard so much about Sleek Palettes on all the beauty blogs and they seem firm favourites with everyone as they are mineral based, pigmented and super affordable! The Sunset Palette is new to the range. The permanent sleek palettes are Original, Storm, Chaos, Sunset, Acid while the Limited Editions include Safari, Jewels, Graphite & Curious. I saw the new LE Graphite palette yesterday which everyone is currently raving about also and while it was nice, I wear alot of pinks and golds/bronzes so Sunset seemed the perfect choice for my first palette. So here are some close-ups for your viewing pleasure:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">It really works and i've been waking up less early in the mornings now which i'm grateful for. Panda pajamas are from Primark btw ;)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">Also, I have to rave about the site I got these from. All the stuff on <a href="http://www.artbox.co.uk/">http://www.artbox.co.uk/</a> is so cute! They have an amazing range of cute, quirky and kawaii things. They have alot of adoreable stationery in particular. I made my order up to £20 with some awesome stickers and bits and pieces so that I got free delivery but otherwise delivery is just £1.75. And I saw on their site today that there will be 20% off on November 1st if you use the code 'birthday' so I will be deffo going back for more cuteness then! <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">The only thing I would say is stuff can dissappear off the site but it doesn't always mean it's gone forever, just out of stock usually as I found out when I was waiting for the Hello Kitty Toast Cutter to come back in stock but just use the contact page and ask the staff if/when it will be back as they were helpful with me. I was going to link you to some cute sellotape I bought from there too which has cakes and sweets on etc but it's gone right now but i'm hoping it will be back. It was kinda like <a href="http://www.artbox.co.uk/kamio-fruity-sellotape-p-1145.html">this</a> but with cakes. And only £1.20! <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">Anyway, hope everyone has had a nice weekend and that you enjoyed my 'cute' post. <br />

Similar high end products with hefty price tags include "Revitalash", "Enourmaslash" and "Jan Marini Eyelash Conditioner" although Lilash seems to be the most popular.</div><br /><div align="justify">Currently, I can't afford beauty products at those prices (although i’ll be sure to stick Lilash on my Christmas wish-list in years to come), so I set about trying to find similar, but affordable products to try instead. The 3 names I came across were "Mavala Double Lash", "Lipocils" and "Ardell Lash Growth Accelerator".</div><br /><div align="justify">Out of these 3, I decided upon <strong>Mavala Double lash</strong> after reading many many positive reviews about it and at around £8-£15 for 10ml, it is affordable and worth a try to see if it works for me. Evens if it works half aswell as Lilash I'll be very happy.</div><br /><div align="justify">So, about Mavala. They are a brand from Switzerland known for their successful range of ‘treatment’ products from skin to nails to eyes. They describe themselves as ‘world leaders’ in the industry.</div><br /><div align="justify">The Mavala Double Lash box states:</div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"></span></em></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;">"You probably apply a night cream on your face every night...but... have you thought of giving a similar treatment to your eyelashes, which have suffered even more than your skin?"<br /></span></em><br />Good point there. They go on to say:<br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;">“DOUBLE-LASH is a nutritive treatment for lashes that is applied like a mascara and helps lashes grow.<br /><br />DOUBLE-LASH strengthens and protects lashes while giving them a natural and silky luster.It’s rich formula contains proteins and natural ingredients which help stimulate faster growth and adds brightness and thickness to lashes.<br />Your lashes will quickly become healthy, long and strong and you should see visible results in approximately 30 days.”</span></em><br /><br />Sounds good to me! I bought my bottle of "Double Lash' from feelunique <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Mavala-Eyelite-Double-Lash-10ml.html">here</a> which, at just £8.25 with FREE delivery, is a total bargain.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">It arrived quickly.

Also contained is a double ended brush which has an angled end to help arch your brows with the gel and a normal brush end to use with the filling powder.<br /><br /></p><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355070606212029154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJEpm4JRu9JoXMO20fgUmKuiqUSOITduql0WXBJ3pR1o91oui7pHGuLYna8kFRcid6tP5VqWMz48Xg8M0STbPPqQFJeQs1qrrB19-VSbGFT4eS8iYBbZCG5F2k1p9LFpm43pRPXU-jf0/s400/DSCN1342.JPG" border="0" /><br />On the left is a pigmented dark brown coloured gel/wax which is used to define and shape your eyebrows and on the right is a medium brown shade powder which is used to set the brow gel and also to fill in any sparse areas of your eyebrows.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I currently use a brown eyebrow pencil to define my eyebrows then set them with a clear 'brow gel', which is like a clear mascara and helps to tame them by keeping the hairs in place, so I am excited to try this new product as i'm hoping the powder will give a softer looking finish. I will update with pictures when i've tried it and give my verdict on it then! Remember, not everyone will need to fill in their eyebrows, it's a personal choice. Although i naturally have very dark hair, my eyebrows are abit light in comparison and i prefer them to look darker as I also think this helps to make your eyes stand out more.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Anyway, much love and will blog again soon.
