<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This beauty is the first Morphe Palette I've ever bought and now </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">reviewed. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've heard mixed reviews on their brand as a whole, but I </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">wanted to try</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> this palette out and come to my own conclusion. The first </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">thing I noticed</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> when I opened the box is some bubble wrap protecting </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the eyeshadow </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">palette inside. This is the only palette I've bought that </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">had this </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">protective feature which I really appreciate.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are four matte shades, four shimmer shades and two foiled </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">shades. As for blending, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the shimmer and foiled shades blend beautifully. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for some of the matte shades like </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'Rockstar'. As you can see from my swatches, it went on chunky and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">took 8 swatches to get to the point you see in the photo! It's such a</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">pretty shade but the formula seems so different from the others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, I'd say my favorite shades are 'Gem', 'Ballsy' and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Berry Treasure'.</span><br />

From an almost <br />pure white to an almost charcoal black. Each eyeshadow is so easy to blend and has<br />more intense color than you would guess. The only negatives I found was some fall out <br />when applied, and the shade 'Chocolate Dipped' was hard to blend out as you can see </span><br />

My skin looks sun-kissed and relatively even.The only <br />two negatives I could find is; One, that it dries quickly and if not blended out will leave <br />streaks. Two, you will feel it on your skin throughout the day as it is fairly thick after being <br />applied. I won't be using it as an everyday product, but it is nice to have if I want to use on <br />my body to even out skin tone or cover scarring. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>As you probably already know from this blog, I like to test products before fully <br />reviewing them. This palette was no different, and I wanted to give it the time</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>and respect it deserves by testing out a variety of colours. Coastal Scents put <br />out quality </b></span><b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">products that are also pretty damn affordable. So here some of my <br />favourite </b><b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">swatches from the 120 Five Palette.<br /></b><br />
<b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The formulas vary from Matte shades that need building up. The foiled shades<br />are pigmented and go on so smoothly. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shimmery</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> shades that have a buttery<br />formula which barely needs to be touched </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for a decent swatch. I did not apply<br />primer before swatching these shades. Each swatch </span></b><b style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">took between 2-3 swipes,<br />but the matte shades needed to be blended more </b><b style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">than the foiled and shimmery<br />shades. </b></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I recently got a bunch of new clothes from Lululemon Athletica. Some of <br />you will probably be unfamiliar with the brand,which in its last year earned <br />between 2 and 2.4 Billion dollars in revenue worldwide. They have just <br />recently tapped in to social media advertising and are pushing their brand <br />more. Hard to believe based on their previous earnings. Especially given <br />most sales were inspired by word-of-mouth or brand ambassadors in the <br />fitness community. <br /><br /><br />The quality of their clothing is amazing, and they have a great policies in <br />place if your item's quality is not up to par (such as: piling, running seams, <br />broken zipper, ect). These are a few of the reasons on why I highly <br />recommend their clothing/sportswear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first item I picked up I *believe* is the...<u><br /></u></span><span style="background-color: white;"><u><br />Lululemon Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Shirt.</u> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted something loose fitting <br />and fresh looking for winter. This shirt is perfect for </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">layering with tank tops or <br />sports bras. It is very sheer as you can see in the close-up.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love the little lace <br />pattern on the sides near the sheer portion of the shirt. It adds a </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">bit </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">of femininity</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />to the shirt itself.Thumb holes are handy for keeping your hands warm </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">while <br />adding functionality.</span></div>

<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Always pre-plan what to pack first</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Get heaps of boxes, packing tape, and bubble wrap </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What items you are not currently using? Pack them first</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hire movers for larger items to minimise chance of injury</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When one room is finished move items/boxes to one area<br />so you can clean as you go</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Schedule Utilities to be turned on at your new house before<br />you arrive (up to 2 weeks ahead of the move)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> Write labels legibly for each box with a brief </span></li>
<li style="display: inline !important;"><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">description of what is inside</span></li>
<li style="display: inline !important;"></li>
<li><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a one day buffer to move in case something comes up</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep a suitcase or gym bag with clothes/items you will need for <br />the next 1-3 days while you're moving</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Stay positive and don't let the stress of moving get to you<br /></span></li>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>If you've been following my content from the very beginning</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>you would've probably heard me mentioning wanting to study</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>to become a professional MUA </b>(Make Up Artist)<b>. It wasn't a crazy</b></span><br />
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">spur-of-the-moment decision, or anything like that. I've been </b><br />
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">looking into doing this for about three years, and I still </b><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have the <br />same passion I did in the beginning. </b><br />
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In one of my </b><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">very first videos, I briefly discuss my early experiences <br />with makeup. </b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Growing up in an abusive home environment, and not<br />knowing how truly wrong it was. It isn't easy for me to discuss, <br />but I want to help someone who may be going through what I did. <br />To have it </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">make such an impact on you and your aspirations so much <br />so that you </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">give up on it. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Whenever I would experiment with makeup; My </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">then step-father <br />would get so mad he demanded I remove my </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">any makeup and say <br />I looked like a 'whore'. My mother would </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">sit there stone-faced next <br />to him, even when it made me cry. </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This happened from age thirteen </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">on-wards to the point that I never wore makeup in front of him</span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I wasn't wearing any crazy colours, and I didn't cake anything <br />on. I had on pink lipstick, and some shimmery silver eye shadow.<br />I didn't know how to do makeup yet, and my mother never tried</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to teach me. She had mountains of beauty products, but was </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">pretty <br />basic when it came to applying makeup. She has expensive </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">taste, <br />and would get angry if I touched her products. I don't think I'll<br />ever truly understand her, or their combined treatment of me.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />So, I stopped </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">wearing makeup, for years until the end of year 12<br /> (Senior year). Even then </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I only wore tinted lip balm, and liquid <br />eyeliner (if I had time to </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">do so in the morning). This was ages ago,<br /> literally right before </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Youtube was around. So I couldn't find makeup<br />tutorials, or how-to-style videos. These girls are doing so many women<br />of all ages a service, and I am forever grateful to the many I follow. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is where I want to take the next step. </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It no longer makes me </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">sad/upset when I think of makeup. </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not only </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">have I come so </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">far in my </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">makeup skills, but I am also confident I can do this with flying colours. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are going through anything like this, and need someone to</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">talk to feel free to email me.<u> You're not alone.</u></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">comparing the price difference between the real and 'fake'</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">makeup that will come up on online shops such as Ebay.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Suddenly, an eyeshadow palette that would normally cost</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">around $80 AUD <span style="font-size: x-small;">($50 USD)</span> can be compared to a fake<br />eyeshadow palette that seems to look the same or close </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for around $6-$12 AUD <span style="font-size: x-small;">($3-$8 USD)</span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We assume that the formulas and colours will be close and </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">that actual effort would be put into making these safe for </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">us to use. While you may find the occasional decent product,<br />the truth is there is no quality control for where these products <br />are manufactured and/or packaged.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">According to other blogs/news sites (such as <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3085665/Warning-fake-make-tainted-cyanide-dangerous-chemicals-Counterfeit-versions-leading-brands-cooked-criminals-squalid-underground-labs.html">Dailymail.com.uk</a> <br />& <a href="http://mashable.com/2015/11/10/fake-makeup-china/#iE9ABKM_4Pqk">Mashable.com</a>) these products allegedly can contain anything <br />from traces of rat feces to household </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cleaning p</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">roducts. Some <br />can even be tainted my cyanide. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Needless </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">to say the so-called <br />'quality' is a big question mark, </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">and you are </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">taking a gamble on <br />your health by using them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over this last year I have tried many different products that </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">have come from </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">places like China <span style="font-size: x-small;">(the world capital for fakes)</span>,<br />Malaysia,</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Philippines and Singapore. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For me, it is </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">absolutely</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />worth the 'peace-of-mind' to pay the </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">full amount </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">for an authentic <br />product. I want to be able to trust </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">what I am </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">putting on my body <br />thoroughly tested as well as safe </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">to use. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Not only is it important that it be tested, but not tested </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">on </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">any <br />helpless animals! This is a practice that really needs to </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">be </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">eliminated from the cosmetic industry, and hopefully worldwide </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">one day. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I received this product in a beauty box about 6 months ago. It is for sensitive skin and I have heaps of moisturisers, so I had my husband try </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">it out for me. This was an actual product test, that he did for my blog. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">His skin type is mostly oily with a one dry area, and his skin is even more sensitive than mine. If he uses any product that has an oil base it will cause him to break out dramatically. I'm always on the lookout for holy grail products that can </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">help even out his complexion and any skin irritation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After a couple of weeks of incorporating this product into his daily routine he told me he immediately felt a difference in his skin. He reported that his skin stayed moisturised all day and that PhysioGel didn't irritate his skin at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />What I noticed was his complexion became more even after about one week </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">of using it daily. This is a holy grail men's product for sensitive skin dry or oily </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">(despite what the label says). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, let me just say how impressed I was upon first opened this packaging.<br />It is stunning and has a high-end feel the whole way through. The second thing<br />I noticed was a lovely smell, that was sort of sweet with a hint of flower. The <br />palette is </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">scented. I had no idea it would be, and fully expected it to be similar to <br />other </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">clay based products (such as Naturals). I have also received a bonus <br />deluxe </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">'Gifted' Mascara sample having spent a certain amount on Tarte <br />products </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">which was a nice little surprise.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see there is a variety of Matte Shades and foiled ones as well.<br />I picked this palette because of the deep matte shades it has. Even though<br />a couple of the deeper colours go on slightly patchy such as Smokeshow, <br />Activist and Leader. Be ready to blend with these three shades. If you apply<br />it quickly it will look uneven and patchy as you can see in my swatches which <br />were done using my fingers not a brush. Perhaps this has something to do<br />with the product being clay based? The formula of these eye shadows<br />feels silky and almost a bit buttery in texture. As I mentioned above some<br />of these shades need heaps of blending, and the swatches below were not<br />done in one swipe. </span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A stand out shade for me would be Funny Girl. Not only is this a stunning <br />pale golden shimmery eye shadow, but can double as a highlighter if you<br />have a fairly light touch. I had to take a couple photos (below) with and <br />without a flash to show the beauty of this shade in either conditions. </span><br />

<b><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I began this blog, I had just really decided to join the Beauty Blogger<br /> community. My writing experience has been far longer than my current blog,</span><br /><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">therefor I have always been fairly comfortable about writing in general. Back</span><br /><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">when I was in High School, I was a writer and editor for my school newspaper. <br />At one point I had even thought of becoming a journalist one day, but I didn't<br />end up pursuing that path. Confidence was a hard learned lesson for me,<br />especially when you're putting your thoughts and sometimes personal <br />feelings out there for an millions of people to read. The basis of my blog <br />is to provide my own honest opinions on products and lifestyle situations. <br />I really do get a kick out of testing beauty products, making tutorials and <br />using my experiences to hopefully motivate or inspire others.<br /><br /><br />My Advice for any new blogger is to be be patient and consistent in your writing.<br />Patience that your readers will not appear out of thin air. Consistency in <br />only post something you are confident is factual/true. </span></b><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>It has been awhile since my last monthly picks, and I wanted to share all <br />of these amazing products after I had tried them out thoroughly enough.<br /><br /><br />The Manuka Honey Mask is a recent favourite of mine, and I saw results <br />immediately after use. Despite </b></span></span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">it's messy/sticky application process it smelled <br />like honey and flowers which was nice. I will point out that it took me ages to <br />peel off this mask, so I would allow at least one hour for the entire process <br />(application, drying, and removal). The results I saw were instant fine line <br />reduction, and smooth soft skin. </b><br />
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b><b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Le Tan Instant Tanning Mousse has been such a breeze for me to use. </b><b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I use <br />their tanning application mitt, and had no issues with it falling apart (like I've </b><b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">read <br />about Bondi Sand's application mitt in past reviews). It smells strongly of <br />coconut, and it takes around 5-6 hours to develop fully. Even after you shower <br />for the first day or two the Coconut/Tanning smell may stick to your skin. I highly <br />recommend this to first-timers, and anyone who wants a gorgeous green based tan. <br />The reason for it being a </b><b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">green based tan is to prevent you from looking orange. </b><br />
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Swisse Argan Anti-Aging Eye Cream as really a shot in the dark for me. I h</b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ardly <br />ever used eye creams before I tried this one. What pushed me </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to get this is <br />finding out how delicate the skin is under our eyes. So I've added </span></b><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">this to my <br />beauty regime after moisturizing and before concealer. It helps my eyes feel <br />less sunken, and more awake.</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Normally when I buy this brand I stick to Viva La Juicy, but the store I went to<br />was out so I decided to try this one out. The bottle is always something I loved</b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>It's been a few months since I have written about my first week of Crossfit.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>For many of you the name Crossfit conjures up images of super shredded</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>men and women doing insane physical tasks in the gym. There are also </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>heaps of fail videos all over Youtube depicting people getting seriously<br />hurt attempting these tasks. That is why I am writing about why I stopped<br />my Crossfit journey to switch to weight training and boxing. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>At first when I joined this Gym that specialises in Crossfit I knew it would</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>be difficult, and challenging. I completely trusted that my trainer/coach knew</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>what he was talking about and instructing us to do. Even though I spoke with</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>him about me being a beginner and recovering from an ankle injury, he didn't</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>seem to listen. When I asked about how to do certain things that I knew I </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>wasn't doing in the correct form, he would just say 'You'll get there eventually".</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>I knew if I continued doing some of these exercises without proper direction,</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>that I would indeed become injured. So I listened to him and tried my best</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>to keep up without hurting myself. He times our ability to complete our circuit </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>training doing various exercises as quickly as we can. So this is the perfect</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>recipe for injury, and my husband at one point was a personal trainer so I </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>am aware of what 'not-to-do'. </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>During my timed workout session I would go from Power-cleans, to Burpees,</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>to Skip rope, Squats, and Hand Stand Push-ups. At the time, I didn't have </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>the upper body strength to do a hand stand much less push-ups while </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>doing them. I pushed through, and got through most of the work out. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>When I got to my third set of Hand stand push-ups something popped in my </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>elbow, and I lost balance and fell on my right arm. My arm was immediately<br />sore </b></span><b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">after that. My coach didn't seem to </b><b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">notice, and his mentality about training <br />really rubbed me the wrong way.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes I ask myself how I handle such high stress situations. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took me a while to realize how much of a difference your own </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">reaction to these situations can affect the overall outcome. For me,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use my creativity as an outlet of sorts, by writing and making jewelry.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I look take a step back and look at the 'bigger picture', it makes </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">me want to take any negative thoughts or feelings and put it into</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">something that will be positive for me in the long-run. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I see many bloggers/vloggers who have issues coping with depression,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">anxiety, and stress in their daily lives. Unfortunately, life has it's ups-and-downs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most important thing we can do is control how we react and respond.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Freaking out about something you can not change will not affect the outcome. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find accepting whatever has happened in my life, and finding a positive direction<br />really makes a difference. <br /><br /><br />If I get to the point where I find myself dwelling </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">on something to the point where <br />it affects my state of mind daily; I will write </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">about </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">it or push myself harder during <br />a workout. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope that this helps even just one person, that would be amazing.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">If you have any questions, feel free to ask. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>When it comes to fitness I sometimes have trouble pushing myself</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>when I am not in a group environment or under direction of a trainer. </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last week I was online looking at several DIY's to learn how to make my own highlighter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There were heaps of rainbow highlighter tutorials, but I saw that very few bloggers/vloggers (two that I found) had actually done a thorough Galaxy Highlighter Tutorial. I decided, based on several different methods, to combine them into this process. Here is my version of a DIY Galaxy Highlighter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">What you will need</span></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rubbing Alcohol/Methylated Spirits </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">White or very light coloured powder highlighter</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4-5 colours (using eye shadows that match the colours you want)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cupcake wrappers</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Q-tips (one for each colour)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Toothpick </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 empty compact pan</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">I started by picking a photo of what galaxy I wanted to mimic and choose the colours that stuck out the most. I used a very pigmented white mineral highlighter for to add to each colour (I would recommend 20% highlighter & 80% colour). If you add too much highlighter, the colour will be washed out and not as vibrant. Use a tooth pick to gently scrape the eyeshadow you will use for each colour (you can use more than one eye shadow to create your intended colour). In my case I used some eye shadows that were shimmery to begin with. </span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When adding the alcohol (or methylated spirits) slowly add drops into each colour while mixing it with the Q-tip until it becomes a watery paste. Mix well! As you can see below the Light Purple mix had too much Alcohol, and Pale Pink had the perfect amount of alcohol added. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">design and apply them to your empty compact makeup pan. If some of these mixes get dry while you are busy with other colours you can add a few drops of alcohol to get it ready again.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am very pleased with the results, and now that I have worked</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">out a few kinks making it easier for the next time I attempt any</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They are known for their amazing matte lip sticks, bronzers, blushes and </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">nail polishes. I consider them a mid-to-high brand cosmetics brand. When I </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ordered this product Larger than life lip gloss in the shade Paris Follies, </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of both the packaging and product </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">itself. The applicator tip was a nice surprise in being that it is practically made</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for precise application. There is no furry cold wet brush that you would find</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">on drug store brand lip glosses such as Rimmel and Maybelline. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">high quality lip gloss. I applied it twice today and my lips feel a bit more moisturised </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A couple of weekend's ago, I attended the Arnold Classic Expo that our</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BJJ team was competing in. I was excited as I usually am for any fitness </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">expo. This one was slightly different because of the vendors that would be </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">participating as well as another important fact. Arnold Schwarzenegger </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">would be attending (wasn't exactly sure when). In the past I've met so </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">many amazing athletes at fitness-related events here in Melbourne Australia. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first time I went to one years ago, I was inspired to get fit and maintain </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a semi-healthy lifestyle. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before heading to the even I woke up early, took my time to flat iron my </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">hair using my beloved GHD. I don't flat iron it every day, and because of that</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I get asked at times if I have had a hair cut. This is because when you flat iron </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">your hair it removes heaps of moisture after-which your hair seems longer. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When that was finished I put on a medium amount of makeup which consisted</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of Rimmel Primer, BB Cream, Rimmel Concealer, Covergirl finishing powder,</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rimmel Bronzer, Coastal Scents Eyeshadow in Deep Roast, and lastly Maybelline</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in Bit of Berry. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After watching the BJJ matches, I tried to get through the crowd to grab a coffee,</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and got stuck in a crowd after Arnold :) It was next to impossible to get a great</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">view, but I managed to get a few blurry pictures and clips (blurry). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There were heaps of friendly people at this expo but it was incredibly packed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and I don't really like strangers rubbing up against all sides of me just to get to</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the next event I was attending. Unfortunately, that is a part of it! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had heaps of fun, and met so many awesome people.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Below are some pics with different vendors and my haul at the days end. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">( Please excuse the terrible lighting in these photos, I did adjust the colour </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and contrast in </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">some to improve the quality, unfortunately fluorescent </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">lighting is standard at these events)</span></div>
