My favourite picks from the sale would have to be the Spartan nail polish at just £5 available <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/products/sale-5-1/nail-varnishes-3/spartan-nail-varnish">here</a></div>

This morning i had the most gorgeous little parcel drop through my door. My lovely friend Kay makes fragranced wax melts as a hobby and she has seen me asking about the fragrance serendipity as I've never tried it and was curious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could smell the package before i opened it and was so happy when i saw these gorgeous little melts</div>

These adorable houses are fragranced with Serendipity. To me they smell of coconut, candyfloss, vanilla and perhaps a hint of fruitiness. I love this scent its really yummy.</div>

I am just loving wax melts at the moment and its always nice to try other peoples creations as i know how much care goes into them. Thanks so much Kay for these they have made my day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am in the process of moving house so that's why i haven't been around as much lately but once Ive moved house and get back from my holiday then things will be back to normal. What are your favourite types of wax melts and fragrances?</div>

If you are on Face book then nobody could fail to miss the massive wave of No Makeup Selfies that women were posting of themselves to create awareness of Cancer. The idea was women removed their makeup and put a photograph of themselves on face book then donated to the Cancer charity. Ive read lots of negative remarks about the idea with people saying what was the point etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a result apparently over 1 million pounds has been donated in the last 24hrs so it just goes to show that each and everyone of you who took part HAS made a difference.</div>

For those of you who didn't take part then all you need to do is text BEAT to 70099 to donate £3.</div>

Did you take part and what are your views on fund raising through social media?</div>

As we get older i think it gets harder and harder to find the right base that looks natural. Saying that i think at any age its really hard to find a great natural looking base. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be showing you some of my favourite tinted moisturisers, BB creams , light foundations that i can recommend as an everyday natural looking skin base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first product and the one i have been wearing the most lately is the Korres Watermelon Lightweight Tinted Moisturiser SPF30</div>

One of the things i like about a tinted moisturiser is the way they are quite forgiving when picking the correct shade. Its always difficult to tell from a computer monitor what shade you will end up with so i opted for 02 honey which worked perfectly with my skin colouring. The formula is oil free so good if you have an oil intolerant skin type or a more oily prone skin. The bonus of the SPF 30 is really appealing too as i do like the thought of having some protection on my skin on days i wear a moisturiser that doesnt contain a filter.</div>

I like to apply this product with my fingers on freshly moisturised skin. Ive tried it without a moisturiser and it just didn't work for me that way but applied straight onto moisturised skin and it leaves my skin looking so much more even and reduces shine but lets my natural skin show through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect for everyday wear and i have also been using this when i go to the gym as i wont go bare faced and this seems to hold up through a workout quite well without me feeling like I'm wearing a full face of makeup. You can still see my freckles and if you have dark circles (Like me) you will need to add a little concealer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pros: Lightweight, long wearing, oil free, non comedogenic, silicone free, easy to blend, suits most skin types, easy to match skin tone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cons: There are no real cons to this product for me. Its a great base product that i will no doubt keep in my collection for a long time. Have you tried the Korres tinted moisturiser and do you think less is more as we get older?</div>

Hi girlies, Ive had a pretty busy week working on a few new products and re-stocking some of the favourites. The best thing for me about making products is the constant learning curve that you take when creating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

Freshly cut this morning is my Zingy Lemon Slice. This is made with Shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, Castor oil, and silk. I used a new nozzle for the piping on top and really like how it turned out. I'm loving all the fresh vibrant scents right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today i had my first attempt at an all coconut recipe for soap. This is 100% coconut oil with added goats milk and a super fat of 23% so it should be really bubbly and moisturising. It wasn't the easiest of soaps to make as it didn't want to blend together very well and so we will have to see what its like when i cut it. Fragranced with a sweet coconut it reminds me of holidays.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also made a repeat soap of my Strawberry slice. This one has a biscotti fragranced base made with oatmeal for a light exfoliation and a delicious strawberry scent topping. This sells really well so i try to keep it well stocked.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly i made my first attempt at making sugar flowers. I use them to go on the top of bath bombs and they are quite expensive to buy if you use them a lot like me so i thought id give it a shot. I know they are not perfect but I'm quite pleased with them as a beginner. I will use these when i make my next batch of vanilla cupcake bath bombs.</div>

I love False eyelashes but even more so when i can find them at a great price. The other day i was looking on eBay and came across these little beauties</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You get 5 pairs in a pack for just £3.97 and £1.28 postage which costs less than your average price for just 1 pair of lashes. BARGAIN</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You never know the quality when you buy from eBay Ive had some lashes that were awful and some brilliant ones too. These ones are the latter. They are soft and easy to apply and they don't feel heavy on the eyes. I really like the design with the little clusters of lashes in between the shorter ones which make the lashes look lovely and full without being too OTT.</div>

If you fancy trying these out for yourself head over to eBay <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280986593951?var=580142717687&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649">here </a>and grab a bargain.nicolettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15284327330913078761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555644510928763494.post-52178888008390819862014-02-18T12:11:00.000+00:002014-02-18T12:15:50.852+00:00Alterna Bamboo 48hr Sustainable Volume Spray<div style="text-align: center;">
It cant be denied that the Big hair look has and probably will forever be one of the biggest trends in hair throughout the UK and elsewhere for that matter. After all thick volumous hair has always been a sign of youth and wellness but in my eyes i always think the bigger the hair looks the slimmer the face looks and for a round moon face like mine its a no brainer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now i wasn't blessed with luscious thick hair unfortunately Ive always had fine hair but lots of it but with many years of colour and straightening and general wear and tear and of course ageing Ive found that my hair feels quite thin and flat a lot of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am constantly searching for volumising products and am considering extensions as i mentioned in an earlier post as i am envious when i see someone with gorgeous thick hair but hey ho i have to work with what i have and so when i was offered the chance to try the Alterna Bamboo 48hr Sustainable Volume spray i jumped at the chance.<br />
<b> <u> Alterna Bamboo 48hr Sustainable Volume spray </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The product itself is free of Parabens and other nasties which is a pleasant change and with the promise of increasing volume by 105% i was very excited to try it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reading through all the ingredients i can promise you there is a lot of brilliant stuff in this which again gave me high hopes. Bamboo Extracts and Maca Root to help with the body building and strengthening aspects.<br />
The product is priced at £24 for 125ml so its not the cheapest of products but in this case id say you definately get what you pay for.</div>
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really impressed by the product. I sprayed about 8 pumps throughout my hair and blasted with the hair dryer. The photo shows my hair immediately after drying. It gave me more volume it also left my hair feeling a lot thicker but the 3 main things that i love about this product are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. The fact this product didn't leave my hair sticky like 95% of thickening products do. You can still run your hands through your hair and it feels lovely and soft which is a HUGE bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. The Volume lasted all day long. Ive tried products that give great results and big hair but it usually lasts a few hrs on my fine hair so again this was a brilliant result for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. If i wanted my hair bigger than this all i did was gently tease with a thin comb at the roots and it held in place for hours. No rough backcombing needed as the product seemed to hold the gentle teasing in place which for my type of hair is really the only way its going to give huge volume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can honestly say i will be using this product a lot in the future. Have you tried this yet and do you love Big hair like me?</div>

Today's post is a little bit daunting for me. At 5ft 2 and 38 years young i have found that over the last 6 months i was steadily putting a few pounds on here and there and generally eating a lot of convenience foods and feeling really unhealthy. I have always been prone to gaining weight but am finding as I'm getting older the battle of the bulge is harder to maintain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On New years eve i made a resolution. My resolution was to get healthy. I'm not measuring my health by weight but my goal is to tone up, get fitter, healthier and stronger. After years of dieting and loosing weight and putting it back on Ive realised that there has to be a better way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't want to count calories. My metabolism is shot from eating so little and then binging that i have to try something that i can maintain that will fit in with my everyday life and not make me feel deprived. So this is what I'm doing:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cutting out processed foods </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cutting out Alcohol, Coffee, Fizzy drinks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Exercising</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taking supplements</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's How I'm doing so far.</div>

I'm always on the look out for a great mascara. I am not a mascara snob by any means, i would be just as happy using a £2.99 cheap one as i would using a high end brand. Saying that though i am Very Very fussy. The reasoning of my overly fussy nature when it comes to mascara is the fact that my own lashes are pity full so therefore i need a mascara that is a miracle worker. Not only are my lashes very short but they are fine too. The latest mascara i purchased was this Boombastic XXL from GOSH. Priced at £8.49 available from <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/gosh-cosmetics/gosh-bombastic-mascara-black/invt/507564">Superdrug.</a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The brush on this Mascara is huge. The brush can literally cover the full width of my eye with one stroke which is a bonus if you are short on time. The bristles are firm and close together and the shape is straight rather than curved like a lot of mascaras. The Colour is deep black and i found it easy to apply.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pros: Its great for fast thick lashes. It builds up almost instantly and if you had long lashes I'm sure it would look stunning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great Colour. No chalkiness just Jet Black lashes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lasts really well and is easily removed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No Smudging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cons: Can become clumpy if you use more than 2 coats (Not that you need to)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all I'm happy with this mascara and for the price i am impressed. It is a lot better than some of the higher end mascaras that Ive tried out. Its not the best mascara for me personally but if you have normal lashes that are just not particularly thick or dark then id definitely recommend giving this one a shot.</div>

Ive also started Kettle bell classes and am on a bit of get strong and healthy kick. I have not drank any alcohol, tea, coffee or fizzy drinks since new years eve.

I am sure i will be blogging about the fitness and my goals etc at some point as its playing a big part of my everyday life right now.</div>

I have always had a love hate relationship with my hair. I LOVE long hair. I have always had my hair long but its so fine that unless i could find the time to stick big rollers in everyday then it just looks flat most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank goodness for extensions which have been a god send for nights out or when i want to feel the ooomph factor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tried lots of different types but one of my favourites is the<a href="http://www.halohairextensions.com/"> Halo</a>. This picture was taken a few years back and my hair is a different colour now but these have to be the easiest of extensions to pop in and out and for hair that is fine like mine its amazing as the fine clear band means you don't have any tell tale signs of the awful grips which are a dead giveaway. If you would like to see the review its <a href="http://nicolettasbeautyspace.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/well-hello-halo.html?showComment=1391770620627#c6438661503944344100">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then of course there are the various hair pieces like this one below which is a 3 1/4 piece which adds loads of volume and i love the look but wouldnt feel comfortable myself wearing every day.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOflkIAjA0G6FpdwXhvQEoc-g-20XPt3EKhCCHafA8M9RV4Ha7ckaGKZwn71SXuw4QAgPlgOZGC0U7sevrUgrxtqavL3c0bZfQzBnW2ev5xqRFqUuFsbdFqgRzSlGbiu5d4Y3OmmG6y0Q/s1600/ootd1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOflkIAjA0G6FpdwXhvQEoc-g-20XPt3EKhCCHafA8M9RV4Ha7ckaGKZwn71SXuw4QAgPlgOZGC0U7sevrUgrxtqavL3c0bZfQzBnW2ev5xqRFqUuFsbdFqgRzSlGbiu5d4Y3OmmG6y0Q/s1600/ootd1.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my question now is whats next? I seriously love this look and I'm hoping by having some extensions put into my hair i can achieve something somewhat like it. I'm looking for a little bit more of a permanent look so thinking of going for the Pre bonded hair. I see Halo now do these <a href="http://www.halohairextensions.com/pre-bonded-hair-extensions.aspx">here </a> and i also have a friend who is amazing at hair extensions so when i decide which ones to get i will be getting her to apply them with some before and after photographs.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
What type of hair extensions if any do you recommend and if you have had them would you do so again?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello out there to the gorgeous girlies that are still following. I haven't been around for so long here but this is where i started and this is where i want to return. I have decided to start blogging again but this time I'm hoping that a few of my fellow bloggers will join me here at Nicolettas Beauty space to add some of their own reviews on the Marshmallow Blends products and any other bits and bobs that they think my readers might find interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say this massive break from blogging has done me good. I feel refreshed and ready to see whats out there again and as I'm turning 39 very soon i think it will be interesting to be blogging when i hit the big 40.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive missed you lovely ladies and i will be catching up on your blogs very soon so look out for my comments. If you have purchased any Marshmallow Blends products and would like to be a guest reviewer then please let me know id love to hear from you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cant say its not a little bit intimidating to be returning after such a long break but I'm looking forward to being back and finding some new fantastic products along the way. Please feel free to comment id love to see some familiar faces and if we haven't met on line then say hi and i will pop over to your blog too.</div>

Oooooohhhhhhh i have won a giveaway to have my eyebrows done. I have not been this excited about a beauty treatment in a long long time. Of course i will have to add before and after photos once Ive had them done. My question is have you or anyone else you know had this procedure done? I'm a bit nervous but the lady who will be doing them is fabulous and so know I'm in safe hands. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you consider having this treatment?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know they apparently look very harsh at first because they fade and soften to a really natural look after a few weeks here is a photo of one of her clients. I think the difference is amazing :)</div>

The perfect Advent Calender arrived on my doorstep. 24 mini sizes of Liz Earle Skin treats. My skin should be glowing by xmas. The first 3 doors contained the fabulous Cleanse and polish, Skin tonic and moisturiser. Who needs chocolate when you can have this instead. Its not cheap retailing at £100 but if you need a treat and a pick me up then its ideal. Still available and if you get one now you get to open the first few days all at once. What more could a girl ask for.

I was so excited when my box arrived that i ripped it open immediately. I always feel like a kid at xmas when new products arrive.</div>

Excuse the rubbish photo but as i said i just couldn't wait and had to open my box straight away. I could smell the products inside as i opened up the box and was greeted with a lovely big mix of Grapefruit and sugarcane bath bomb, Scrub & Room spray. Two handmade cold process soap slices and this amazingly cute snowman soap.</div>

The snowman soap is just adorable. As soon as my 4 year old saw it he tried to whisk it away so Ive promised to share it with him lol. Priced at £4.50 Frosty the snowman would make a brilliant gift or stocking filler that's hand made and really unique. It comes wrapped and tied with ribbon which finishes it off perfectly.</div>

The first thing that hit me when i opened the packaging was the beautiful fragrance. Its described as a luscious fruity wood fragrance with top notes of bergamot and rose. Sweet rich Blackberries, dry leaves, with an amber cinnamon blend and a hint of peppermint. Its a beautiful fresh light clean smell that is really xmassy.</div>

Last night i went on a much needed girls night out with my gorgeous girls. Every now and then we get together and go out for a night, no children, no men just a good old girlie chat and the odd Vodka (Cough Cough) So i thought id show you a few pics although i forgot to take them as i was getting ready so excuse the rubbish shots.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dress is from misguided and i wore it with gold heels and a gold clutch. I had a fringe cut in a few weeks ago and I'm wearing my Halo hair piece which i love. I don't feel dressed up on a night out without it in. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only jewelry i wore was this ear cuff. Ive been looking for a nice ear cuff for a while and i picked this up at New Look for just £3.99. Oh and i wore my wedding ring of course too :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Red lippy from Estee Lauder in Watermelon. Its a gorgeous creamy texture and it really lasts well. I do have a soft spot for Estee Lauder lipsticks and i love the fact that this one has a bit of a gold coating which makes it feel very luxurious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Halloween, mainly because my boys enjoy it so much and we always go to a party of some sort or go trick or treating with the kids. I must admit i had my boys in mind when i made most of these products and they have gone down a storm in our house.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fragranced in a gorgeous Blood Orange scent this bath dust fizzes up when sprinkled into the bath water and turns it a pinky red shade with a touch of black glitter. Also hidden in there are a few critters so beware.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Not suitable for children under 36months due to small plastic parts)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to add some candy themed products for Halloween and these mixed bags of melts will make the house smell just like a sweet shop. Perfect to set the mood for trick or treaters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marshmallow, candyfloss and toffee apple. The only problem is deciding which sugary treat to burn first. </div>

Ive given in and brought myself a onesie. I have been lusting after an all in one cosy snugly onesie for sooo long but but all my friends and husband think they are fowl. I cant say it will be a fashion statement and at my age i should know better but sod it. I love them and that's that.</div>
