Well it has been 2 weeks since I started using the Clinique 3 step Skincare System and I am happy to report that my skin has been doing much better. I admitted in my previous post that I'd never had any real skincare routine (oh the shame) so this was to be my first. Better late than never as they say, so I have been religiously using my Clinique products twice a day. In fact I've become a little obsessed if truth be told! I have even found myself mentally scheduling it into my plans for the day even though washing my face morning and night really doesn't need much planning!

While DivaDerme's Lash Extender may look like an ordinary mascara, it's tagline "Lashes in a Bottle" is in fact the literal truth - open up the tube, and instead of slick black mascara, you'll find millions of tiny hair fibres waiting to be applied to your lashes. The idea is to elongate and add volume, without the need for gluing on false lashes.
The Italian brand have crafted the tiny strands with care - each one is infused with Vitamin E, panthenol, and herbal extracts, and they're safe for contact lens users. One road-test later, have my lashes achieved incredible lengths?

As a beauty writer people always expect you to have amazing hair, a cellulite-free body and flawless skin. When they meet me I think they're a little disappointed that I don't look like a Disney Princess!
Now, I won't Iie I have somewhat blossomed since I started in the beauty industry but the one thing that really lets my 'beauty writer' appearance down is my skin and there is one very shameful reason for this. Something that will have beauty professionals (and all you K&M readers) shrieking with horror.
I have no skincare routine.
Yep 'do as I say and not as I do'.
Read on after the jump to find out how I get on with Clinique's 3-step Skin Care System - my first ever skincare routine!

Ed Hardy are known for their tattoo inspired clothing and caps worn by 'look-at-me' celebrities like Britney and Madonna. They're a bit of a love it or hate it label but they have a big following (my boyfriend paid £70 for a cap. A CAP!!) and are extremely popular, especially in America.
Now, I'm not a huge fan of streetwear so I wasn't overly excited when I heard they were launching their fragrance in the U.K but when their 'Original Fragrance for Her' perfume arrived at my desk, I opened the package and was surprised for two reasons:
1. The bottle is really quite pretty even with the trademark skulls, bones and roses design on it.
2. IT SMELLS AMAZING

Well, it's Summer and my New Year's resolution to start jogging and drink two litres of water a day has been a total failure. My Wii fit age is still thirty three and I'm pretty sure I've drunk more red wine than water this week! So when the girls from Bliss called saying a new cellulite busting scrub was being added to its famed FatGirl line up I felt like my prayers had been answered! In their own words it "banishes the dreaded lumps and bumps caused by lack of exercise and water". Ha! They also said it would 'scrub-a-dub-blub' but we'll just ignore that bit.

This morning I was thrilled to receive a package from a wonderful makeupalley.com swapper in Italy, who sent me some products from the Italian brand Kiko. I 've fallen for one item in particular - the Kiko Bling Blush. For it's gorgeous shiny chrome-like packaging, funky design and its similarity to a long-time favourite of mine, MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish.
