For a while now everyone has been raving about Maybelline mascaras and I just never got around to trying one, even though I knew I should! And then I stumbled across a sale and this beauty was half the price so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try one for myself, and well, let me tell you, it was worth every penny! Even though it's not their newest release I hope that not everyone has tried this by now and some of you may enjoy reading!<br />

<b>Maybelline One by One Volum' Express Mascara</b> (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Maybelline-Express-Washable-Mascara-Blackest/dp/B0046797WK">here</a>) is beautifully packaged in a nice hot pink tube with black writing and the shade I picked up is Satin Black because in my opinion, the blacker the better! The wand on this one is a nice rubbery one, which is my favorite type, because it coats every single lash, gives nice separation and lenghtens and that for me ticks all the boxes! It has an oval shape which makes me kind of clumsy with application and I always smudge the tip to somewhere around the eye area but that's nothing a q-tip couldn't fix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The consistency of this mascara is leaning towards wet but nonetheless, it dries instantly after applying. I do notice it smudging where my lashes touch my eye area throughout the day and that's the only annoying thing about this mascara, although, I haven't found one that doesn't do it, so maybe it's just me? My lashes are naturally pretty long but this mascara definitely gives lots of definition and with more than one coat it makes it look like I have falsies on, which I love! This mascara definitely made me fall in love and I will for sure be trying out other Maybelline's offerings.</div>

Today I wanted to introduce you to a new series of posts I decided to do which is To Read List! These posts will contain books I recently picked up and am planning to read in the near future. Not only will they may become handy to you if you are looking for some new reads but also it will give me motivation to read some more. It's something I love but I just didn't find the time to do. Hopefully this works out! Also, after I finish them I'll post a seperate review post with my thoughts on it. So this can be a little book club I assume! haha Well, hopefully someone will like it, and if not, I have plenty of posts coming up on other topics :) </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<a name='more'></a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Let's start with the books I picked up yesterday from the library! (Sorry for Lithuanian titles and all, I didn't want to use stock pictures so maybe you will appreciate it haha For me, it is really interesting to see how different book covers look in different countries because I'm weird like that!)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
First book I picked up is <b>Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella</b>. It's the author's first stand-alone book published in 2005. I fell inlove with Kinsella's books when I read the Confessions of a Shopaholic series a few years ago. They are the perfect easy chick-lit books and from what I've read online, other books by her are also really popular so I wanted to see for myself! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The plot of this book follows Emma Corrigan, a young woman in London, England. She is in a stable, but dull, relationship with the "perfect" man, and is currently attempting to climb the corporate ladder at Panther Cola, a multi-national cola company headquartered in London. Satisfied with life, she is thrown off-kilter when she mistakenly blurts out all of her inner secrets to a complete stranger on a plane when it hits turbulence and she believes she is going to die. Emma believes that she is in the clear when she leaves the plane, as she is confident that she will never see that stranger again. However, when he shows up at work, and turns out to be the company's founder, she is forced to come face-to-face with the man, her secrets, and the desire for her life to change. The plot is really interesting and I can't wait to dig into the book!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Another one I picked up is <b>Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver</b>. I had my eye on this book for quite a while now just never got around to picking it up. Lauren Oliver is probably most known for Delirium, the amazing series I've read in what seems like an hour haha They were so easy and so addicting to read! (Review <a href="http://chantelleve.blogspot.com/2014/04/book-review-delirium-by-lauren-oliver.html">here</a>)</center>
<center>
<div style="padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
"Samantha Kingston has it all: the world's most crush-worthy boyfriend, three amazing best friends, and first pick of everything at Thomas Jefferson High—from the best table in the cafeteria to the choicest parking spot. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last. Then she gets a second chance. Seven chances, in fact. Reliving her last day during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing<span style="color: #565454; font-family: Hoefler Text A, Hoefler Text B;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">." </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've already started this book and so far it is exactly what I expected! It's funny, really suitable for teenagers but if you're older and into Young Adult books this one is definitely for you! I just like these easy, not much to think about reads, although it may turn out to have a deeper meaning once the story really develops. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, that's all I picked up this time! Really easy reads to get into the reading game again! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you read these? What did you think?</span></div>

Since I've been working this summer I shopped quite a lot. I've been running out of a lot of necessities and also there's still some makeup I've never had before and needed it in my collection. And that lead me to this post right here, where I will share what I've bought with all of you :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've already used and tried out some of this stuff so I'm able to give you tiny reviews but if there's anything that interest you, feel free to leave a comment and I will do a review on it :)</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Let's start with face and eye bits I got:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin foundation in 010 Ivory</b> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maybelline-Better-Skin-Foundation-Ivory/dp/B00IIKPJKA">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I needed a new foundation and this was on offer so I picked it up and since then I've been using it almost everyday. It's my favorite foundation by far, it gives amazing coverage and doesn't cling onto my dry patches while being matte which is everything I could ask for! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Maybelline One by One Volum' Express Mascara in Satin Black</b> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maybelline-One-Mascara-Black-10-4/dp/B008PTE7I4/ref=sr_1_8?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1414772205&sr=1-8&keywords=one+by+one+mascara">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Another thing that was mentioned in the blogosphere and on youtube quite a while ago and it took me a while to get my hands on. I love this! Everyone's been asking if I'm wearing falsies and I love the definition and lenght it gives to my lashes while leaving no clumps. I love plastic wands on mascaras so this is right up my alley!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen</b> </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've tried another eyeliner pen by Essence a few years back and remember loving it so I picked this one up and was left quite dissapointed. It works well but the line is never quite black like I want it to be and the tip has softened up which makes it quite hard to work with. Still using it from time to time, though.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Essence Eyeshadow in 77 Sandy Says Hello</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I was on the hunt for a champagne colored eyeshadow since I go through them like crazy and they always are the firsts to go in any pallette I own. This shadow is not the most pigmented thing on earth but it does the job and I love it for everyday wear.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFe-m0tk1zoUoDrEyCeU3KtEqi4bjZGbV78oBWerimmk9ziiON6O76ZpIeFPfR4FDbwWqyB8MhqI4tj31R5rxfQHHQ8QMBN6_ujaZZ7O5UMgK63QWC1iFLKPPncFNnEQ4G0OCxv9wSZA/s1600/1410-recentpurchases_beautyhauloctober2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFe-m0tk1zoUoDrEyCeU3KtEqi4bjZGbV78oBWerimmk9ziiON6O76ZpIeFPfR4FDbwWqyB8MhqI4tj31R5rxfQHHQ8QMBN6_ujaZZ7O5UMgK63QWC1iFLKPPncFNnEQ4G0OCxv9wSZA/s1600/1410-recentpurchases_beautyhauloctober2.png" /></a></div>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Now onto blushes:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush in 10 Heat Wave | </b><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Essence-Blush-Up-Powder-Blush-10-Heat-Wave-/261414717469">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This blush just screams summer to me. It has 3 colors that can be used seperately or mixed together and I love the versitality. Gorgeous!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Essence Beauty Beats (LE) Blush in 01 Groupie at Heart</b> | <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Essence-Beauty-Justin-Bieber-Groupie/dp/B00FZW8P8W">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
A gorgeous berry blush that is more on the brighter side. I was at my local drugstore and spotted this on sale because it was from a limited edition that has already ended so I picked this up and didn't regret it.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Essence Sun Club All-over Shimmer in 02 Miami Heat</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This beauty I use mainly for highlighting or as a highliting blush/bronzer and it works wonders for illuminating. Sadly can't use this for eyeshadow because my brush is not small enough to pick up only one shade.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
As for lips, I bought these to beauts:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Essence Long Lasting Lipstick in 07 Natural Beauty and 09 Wear Berries </b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Both of these are amazing. Colors are lovely, finish is semi-matte which I like and they wear very comfortably while not settling into cracks on the lips. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
And then, some skincare bits:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Make-up Remover</b> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garnier-Naturals-Express-Make-Up-Remover/dp/B00H8O1ZGY">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Really loving this lately. It removes everything without needing to rub and doesn't leave all that much of an oily residue, just enough to make your eye area feel hydrated and soft.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

As the weather is getting chilly, at least here in Lithuania, my skin has been getting more and more dry. The wind is seriously hurting my face nowadays, which leads to it needing more nourishing with both skincare and makeup. Dry skin also means that face is not as glowy and healthy as it should be. That's where this Catrice beauty steps in! I've bought it a long long time ago and have used it for a few times before but haven't really noticed a difference until recently when I applied it on my friend while doing her makeup.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Catrice Illuminating Base </b>is supposed to be a primer and an overall highlighter all at once. First of all, let me tell you, it has an amazing scent to it! To me, it smells like a lipstick (you know, like the one a mom or someone older would wear) but I just can't put my finger on the actual scent. Although, it is quite strong so might not be everyone's cup of tea, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The base is a pink nude colored but when blended leaves the most beautiful sheen and makes any face feel more alive. The finish actually reminds me of L'Oreal's Lumi Magique primer's (haven't used it myself but have seen numerous videos of Shaaanxo using it, haha!) and this could probably be it's cheaper alternative. It's more colder toned and makes any foundation look more dewy. But with all that being said, I think there's all there is to it because I haven't noticed any difference in my foundation wear time. </center>

For the long while I've not been blogging I have attempted a lot of things, one of it is gathering everything for a semi-normal skincare routine, not only to better my skin condition but also to get into the habit of taking care of my skin while it's not too late. And this is where this little beauty steps in. I present to you - <b>Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash</b>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
If you've never heard of the brand, here's a little background info. It is based in India and specialises in skincare items with herbs, not using SLS, parabens and other harsh chemicals. All of their products are really affordable but of a great quality!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Neem Facial Wash</b> is aimed towards normal/oily skinned people. Although I have dry skin, it is acting very unusual for the past few months and I don't remember the last time I had dry patches or something! And even then, it never made my skin feel thight or uncomfortable - feelings I was left with after using anything else! This facial wash is of a gel consistency and feels great when massaged into the skin. It is very gentle and removes all of the dirt without being harsh. When washed off you are left with shiny, silky soft skin. And who doesn't love it?! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've been using it for over 3 months now and all I can say is wow! My skin is not as dry as it was before I started and feels much more healthy and hydrated, even if I forget to put on moisturizer after (it definitely happens sometimes, not gonna lie!).</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you think? What's your go-to facial wash?</span></center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello! Today I'm back with my very first book review - a post I've been planning on for quite a while. I love to read (my latest addiction is actually listening to audio books) and I just wanted to post about it on here to find new reads and talk to fellow readers too! Today I'm reviewing Delirium by Lauren Oliver {you can read more about in on goodreads <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11614718-delirium">here</a>}. It is a young-adult dystopian novel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The action is based in the future, like all dystopian books are. The world is completely different - love is considered a disease - amor deliria nervosa - and is treated when you turn 18. Until then, it is forbidden to talk to opposite sex except your family members. The main character, Lena, is a girl like every other. She has a best friend, Hanna, and both of them are very excited about turning 18 and finally getting the cure - without it, no one feels safe. Love is dangerous for many reasons, the symptoms make you weak, your decisions not reliable and your senses stronger. Also, it leads to heart diseases. The society is so strict about it, that people are convinced that they are better off without love. Both girls trust the society until everything changes when Lena meets Alex and start to feel what love is all about.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The book sucked me in immediately. I've now read the whole trilogy and I can safely say it was one of the best series I've ever read. I just couldn't put it down! I love young adult dystopian books, they are my favorite genre and even though they might not be for everyone, it was definitely the one for me. The biggest reason why I loved this book so much was that it just seem so real, the symptoms, the cure, the disease, everything feels like love might actually be dangerous! I think that's why in the book everyone believed it - because without actually experiencing real love you can't be sure if it's good or not. "The deadliest of all deadly things: it kills you both when you have it and when you don't." Another reason was the action. The book was full of it - one thing leading to another, it's a real page turner and I finished it in one day, switching positions on my bed for quite a few hours. The ending left me wanting for more. I'm also really keen on love stories in books so this was definitely the book for me - in all aspects it fulfilled my need for something new, exciting and loveable. That's why I love dystopian novels - they all portray different worlds and I just love to let my imagination free!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are looking for the next YA book to read - give this one a go! And if you already read it - feel free to talk to me about it! I love discussing books :)</span><br />

Hello, lovely ladies! Today I'm back with a review for you all :) This is the first Essence lipstick I bought (and I'm definitely coming back for more!) and the first and only red lipstick I own. Not that it's my favorite or that it suits me the best but I just haven't gotten around to purchasing another one!</div>

So back in November I needed a red lipstick for Halloween because I was a bloody corpse or something like that and I thought that the best way to draw some blood on my face would be with a red lipstick. This also served as a general red lipstick need because I knew I would get my use out of it even after Halloween for normal application on my lips haha I looked for something that would be moisturizing and wouldn't dry out my lips but also would be pigmented enough to show a real color. I quickly snagged this one up and didn't look back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The packaging of <b>Essence's "All You Need is Red"</b> is a sleek black plastick with a red stripe. The color of the stripe showcases the color of the lipstick so it's not all the same. One thing I dislike about this packaging is that it's too minimalistic. I would love to get a name written on it or something, because to me it just looks plain. But, for such inexpensive lipstick, the packaging doesn't look childish or cheap at all! I also love the signature e at the top and on the bullet itself, the packaging for these new formula lipsticks are way better than their old one, which looked like cheap childish lippie you would get in a kids magazine. Way to step up your game, Essence!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>"All You Need is Red"</b> is a orange-toned red. The lipstick itself doesn't have any glitter or shimmer but due to being soft and moisturizing has a slight shine to it. I would say it is definitely a bright red and it looks gorgeous on the lips. Staying power is not it's strongest, lasting around 2-3 hours before wanishing completely off my lips. I like to put some lipbalm underneath so it may shorten the wear time a little. The pigmentation of this beauty is pretty good, the swatch has 3 generous coats applied but without a lipbalm underneath it's definitely very buildable and can show color after one application. For me personally, this is not the most flattering red. I think with my skintone it looks a little off (or maybe I'm just not used to bright lipsticks just yet) and it makes my teeth look way yellow, which is my only dissapointment. I would love to get another cool toned red, because I think it would suit me better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Overall, this is a great lipstick for the price. It lasts a while and is very budget friendly. Packaging wise it's not ridiculously cheap looking and would look great in your lipstick stand. The color selection in this range is not the best but it definitely has something for everyone, so I would highly suggest you checking it out!</center>

Hello! It's Sunday, which means another My Week in a Nutshell post! I've been getting so much postitive feedback since the first one of these and I love it! I love getting to know bloggers so I though you might enjoy getting to know me too! Everyone knows Sunday is a relaxed day and I just love gathering my thoughts and talking all about my adventures for the previous week. Just think how awesome will it be to read all about in a year or more! That's what blogging's all about, isn't it?</center>

Moving on, this week was rather exciting. Just like previous week, we had amazing weather, sunny and a tad bit warm (+8 degrees). We also had a Day of Restoration of Independence of Lithuania on Tuesday which meant no school and a little free time! Given that, we talked to one of my class mates who owns a car and went on an adventure. We drove to a nearby resort type town. It's small and I used to live there in the summer when I was little so the main idea was to visit all of the places I went to as a kid and see how they've changed. The town is gorgeous, it has Nemunas flowing nearby, dividing it into two towns, one in the woods on the other side and one regular. The city also has a few large mounds which we climbed and took some pictures with the amazing view of sun and the river. Truly breathtaking! I loved our little adventure, we all drove home exhausted as we spent the whole day there. I would love to discover more places like those!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. I went to school, skipped a lot of classes because the weather is too great to sit there haha I have so much responsibility as it's coming closer and closer to the final exams. I actually can't wait to be done with school! I really want to go to uni/college and study things I like.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So how was your week? Anything exciting?</span></center>

Hello! For quite some time, I haven't bought anything beauty wise. I haven't worked for the past few months which meant no money. But now, I'll be getting paid at the end of this month so I figured out a wishlist of all of the things I want to buy this month. Most of these are skincare, because I ran out of most of my things one by one and they all needed to be replaced with something new, something better. Thank God for people reviewing things - this way I get to read a ton before making my decision on what to buy and what to wish for! I usually have to be careful as I have dry, acne-prone skin. I don't want the blemishes but I also don't want to dry my skin out even more. If you know something that would suit my skin type, let me know!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Now, onto the wishlist :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><b>Garnier Skin Naturals Micellar Cleansing Water</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm super late to the all Micellar Waters game as I have yet to try one, but I think this is a good choice! I've read many reviews saying it's amazing, great at removing makeup, suitable for dry skin and soothing. As soon as this hits the stores here I'm definitely picking it up to try! If you've written a review about it, link me up ;)</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Catrice Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I've swatched almost all of these numerous times while searching through a drugstore but never actually picked one up! The colors are definitely gorgeous, so many suitable for spring/summer season. It's also pretty shiny and moisturizing so it's a win-win ;)</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Garnier Express 2in1 Eye Makeup Remover</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Another one of the new Garnier launches. I'm in a terrible need of a great eye makeup remover, all of the ones I've tried never removed all of it! (especially Catrice Eye Liner Pen, it leaves a blue line and I can never get rid of it!) Heard great thing about it so decided I should give it a run (:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I've recently noticed how huge of a pores I have, especially on my forehead and around my nose. This is said to be somewhat similar to Porefessional by Benefit for a fraction of the price so I'll definitely be on the lookout for this! Let me know if you've tried it!</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Another great new launch. I love bold, big, voluminous lashes and this aims to deliver exactly that! I have pretty nice lashes so when I enhance them with a good mascara my entire looks seems to tie together perfectly. I just want to try it so badly!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What's on your wishlist? Have you tried any of these?</span></div>

Hello! A bit of a new post today, this being mainly beauty blog and all, I still wanted to have some kind of lifestyle post every week. I want this blog to be a happy place for me and a place for me to ramble on about anything and everything that I like, so I decided to take the plunge and write it up. Let me know your thoughts on it all! Do you enjoy reading/writing about life? :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This week hasn't been the most exciting week at all but it was rather busy. I've worked for the majority of it, having to days free and it was pretty exhausting. If you didn't know by now - I work in an advertisement company as a promo person - doing tastings and presentations in supermarkets for various other companies. Our work time is usually 3 hours and even though it doesn't seem like a lot but waking up at 6am, going to school for 8 hours and then going straight to work is pretty tiring. I do love my job, it's pretty fun and I don't have to work long hours! Enough about that!</center>

Today was a date kinda day. Me and my boyfriend couldn't meet up on Women's Day because he had to go to his aunt's birthday but today he surprised me with tulips and milk chocolate with oreos and I couldn't be happier! We went for a walk in a pinewood until sunset and just wandered around the woods for a few good hours. As I live in the city centre I'm used to always being in the city environment so it was rather refreshing going out to somewhere fresh and calm. It was so quiet and nice to be alone and enjoy our time together before the start of the new week with school and practices and work taking up most of our time :) We had a great time, walking and taking pictures of the most random things! I do enjoy taking pictures of him, though, he is very handsome ;) We just laughed all the way trough and joked around, I love that we have a similar sense of humor! As spring is approaching slowly but surely I believe we will have more days like this in the near future :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm feeling so happy at the moment, without any stress. I know that Tuesday we have a day off from school because of a national holiday so I try to focus on that and not on hating Monday...</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How was your week?! I'm really nosy and enjoy reading about other's life, so link me up to your posts!</span></center>

Hello, lovelies! For the longest time I wanted to do some kind of tag, since I haven't done any in months. I saw this on some blog a few weeks ago I immediately thought it will be the one :) I personally really enjoy visiting goodreads as I'm a real book-worm (you can find me <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/chantelleve">here</a>) and also it's really easy to find new reading material and keep track of what you've read! Challenges are a great way if you want to get into books more, because goals always makes you want to try more. If you're new, I would also suggest joining groups where you can meet lots of like-minded people (I also love book of the month suggestions and forums in groups, where you can all read a book and then discuss!). It's a wonderful website for all of you book lovers, so I would highly suggest you to join ;) Enough rambling for now, onto the questions!</center>
<center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><b>What was the last book you marked as "read"?</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16248068-the-elite">The Elite by Kiera Cass.</a> It was a wonderful book, full of action with a love story and I'm a sucker for love stories! It was the second book in the series, the 3rd one is coming out in May and I can't wait!</div>
<ul>
<li><b>What are you "currently reading"? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10576365-the-darkest-minds">The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.</a> It is interesting enough for me to keep listening to it but not as much as others I've read (listened to) recently. </div>
<ul>
<li><b>What was the last book you marked as "to-read"? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15844362-the-one">The One by Kiera Cass</a>. It's the third book in the Selection series which I mentioned in the first question :)</div>
<ul>
<li><b>What book do you plan to read next?</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm thinking about Allegiant by Veronica Roth. The problem is I can't remember what happened in the second one so I'll have to find a summary or something so I could read it. Also, I read the first 2 books in Lithuanian so listening to the third one in English might be a little difficult. Not that it's the first time haha</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Do you use the star rating system? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I do, but I almost rate the book I've read 5 stars. I'm not a pro at reviewing books so I think I like them all haha I would really like to start doing book reviews on my blog and after getting so much positive feedback about it I think I will in the near future, it will help me learn to enunciate my thoughts better.</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Are you doing a 2014 Reading Challenge? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I am. I set my goal to 20 books and so far I've read 4 :)</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Do you have a wishlist? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I don't, but I often look through my suggestions on goodreads and mark 'want to read' the ones that I think I would enjoy.</div>
<ul>
<li><b>What book do you want to buy next? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I don't buy books. I either take them from a library or download a .pdf or an audio version. </div>
<ul>
<li><b>Do you have any favorite quotes? Would you like to share a few?</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I don't actually. I don't really know why.</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Who are your favorite authors? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Some of my favorites are Stephen King, Sandra Brown, Harlan Coben and Sophie Kinsella. I have a wide variety of genres I like to read as you can see ;)</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Have you joined any groups? </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I've joined a few Young-Adult themed groups. I adore young adult books, they are my favorite to read and I love the challenges and suggestions they put in the groups.</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Are there any questions you'd like to add to this TAG?</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
I think there's enough ;)</div>
<div>

Hello! March is here and with it comes the beautiful season of spring. I'm very excited about the pastels, bright lips and nails and fresh faces. Spring is one of my favorite seasons because it starts to warm up after winter and the sun finally shows up again! Even though it still feels like winter here I know it's coming to an end. Today I wanted to share on of my most used blushes - <b>Essence Silky Touch blush in Adorable</b>. I never paid much attention to Essence blushes, even though I hadn't owned any blushes then but after hearing the lovely <a href="http://rosychicc.com/">Andrea</a> rave about this I decided to look into it some more. When I saw it in the store I knew I wanted it!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Essence Silky Touch blush in Adorable</b> is a soft baby pink blush, leaning more towards the warm tone on the skin. The blush itself is very silky and not at all chalky, which I love. It applies evenly and looks gorgeous on the cheeks! It doesn't have any shimmer and is completely matte but gives a nice fresh look to the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
To apply this blush I use a simple blush brush and it looks great. I think it would suit lots of different skin tones because it's neutral and gives just a flush of color across the cheeks. I would say staying power is not it's strong side - it stays on for about 2-3 hours before dissapearing. I like to touch my face a lot during classes so maybe I'm to blame for this? I don't really know.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
In my opinion, it's the perfect blush for upcoming spring and all year-around. As it's a staple I use it every single day and love it's finish. This little pot will last me quite some time, because brush picks this up greatly and none is wasted. It truly lives up to the Silky Touch name, it really is silky to the touch! It is really cheap and works great for the price, so I would reccommend this to anyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>

hello! sorry for taking a huge break from blogging once again. I didn't even mean to, my blogger's block just kept dragging on and I kept coming up with reasons for me not to blog. I feel like I've neglected it but I'll try my best to get back. I even made a blogging schedule weeks ago but school work and my job kept me off it.<br />
<br />
on the brighter note, I wanted to share with you all this little gem I bought recently! I saw this polish searching in the Catrice sale box and knew I had to have it. I've been wanting a good holographic polish since last winter when they hit the stores and were really popular!<br />
<br />
<b>Catrice 'Dirty Berry'</b> is a grey toned lilac holographic nail polish. it leans more towards the dark side and in my opinion is perfect for autumn/winter (which is coming to an end!) but for me, the holographic aspect is also appropriate in the spring, because once the sun hits it it becomes the most gorgeous lilac full of multi-colored tiny teeny glitter particles. (it kind of shows in the pictures above).<br />
what attracts me the most to this polish is the fact that it looks super festive and glittery but is not hard to take off! one of the reasons I hate putting glitter polishes is because they are a pain to get off but with this - it's not a problem at all!<br />
as with all Catrice polishes, this lasts for about 3-4 days on my nails with a top-coat. it's not impressive but they have great selection of colors and types of polishes so I don't really mind. I have a few I bought on sales and they were up to 80% off which I love, because I'm all about saving money :)<br />
the brush on their polish is huge and covers the whole nail really well. I can get away with one coat of this but I like to add one more for longer wear time.<br />
<br />
I wore this polish on New Years Eve this year and loved it, it just screams party for me! if you fancy holographic polishes I would highly suggest you picking this up, I promise you'll love it as much as I do :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">have you tried any of Catrice's nail polishes?</span></div>

hello! another little review coming your way ;) I bought this cream shadow pot a little while (mentioned it in my haul <b><a href="http://chantelleve.blogspot.com/2013/11/recent-purchases-make-up-must-haves.html">here</a></b>) and ago and had a few weeks (or a month) to test it out and be able to let you know!<br />
<br />
<b>catrice 'made to stay' cream eyeshadow in lord of the blings </b>is said to be "Elegant, shiny metallic cream eyeshadow that are long-lasting and convincing. Easy to apply, the intensively pigmented texture seems to melt on your eyelid without settling in the crease or smudging. All day and all night long." In my opinion, it does live up to the claims. It is very pigmented, and a little goes a long way. it can be a bit hard at times and if I pick up a little too much it's hard to blend out evenly. I prefer using a brush because the pot is narrow and my nails get into the product.<br />
<br />
I would recommend definitely putting a primer under because even though it claims to be crease-proof it really isn't. I skipped a primer one time and it creased in about 2 hours. while wearing a primer it can stay up to all day with no creasing or smudging.<br />
<br />
this champagne cream shadow also looks great as a base for similar eyeshadow because of all the 'bling' it really makes it pop. I would recommend this especially to blue eyed gals as myself because it makes them pop like no other! I received a ton of compliments on my eyes while wearing it.<br />
<br />
overall, I love them. I really want to get my hands on more colors, they are cheaper than maybelline color tattoos and great alternatives :) the pot is high quality with secure lid and the product is not prone to drying up. if you can get your hands on these, I would highly recommend you checking them out!<br />

<b>maybelline the falsies black drama volum' express mascara {<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-The-Volum-Express-Mascara-Falsies_1150618/">£7.99</a> | <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod1230030">$6.99</a>}</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> actually I never owned a maybelline mascara in my life. I know they are supposed to be the best but I always find cheaper, good working mascaras and never liked to spend my money on these (they are pretty expensive here). I've heard so many great things about this and saw this on sale in various places so I put this on my wishlist, hoping I could buy this for myself one day :)<br />
<br />
<b>juicy couture viva la juicy perfume {<a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_117522801699_-1">£56.70</a> | <a href="http://www.sephora.com/viva-la-juicy-P219412">$90.00</a> / 100ml}</b><br />
<br />
my friend bought this and I was tempted ever since I smelt it for the first time. everyone on youtube used to rave about this back in the day. it does smell heavenly and I want it more than anything.<br />
<br />
<b>essence sun club matt bronzing powder {<a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Essence-sun-club-matt-bronzing-powder-blondes-brunette-15-gr-/261326201975">£6.99</a> | <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3400079#">$4,99</a>}</b><br />
<br />
karissa pukas (saturdaynightsalrite) raves about this and it's so cheap I can't pass it up without trying it. if people who tried high end bronzers love this, I might love it too!<br />
<br />
<b>l'oreal lumi magique light infusion foundation (in the us known as true match lumi) {<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Lumi-Magique-Foundation_1247606/">£10.99</a> | <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4480167&_requestid=77525">$12,99</a>}</b><br />
<br />
this foundation screams my name! it's a light infusion foundation which means it's perfect for dry, dull skin. also it has gorgeous packaging and everyone says l'oreal makes best foundations so we shall see!<br />

<br />
this was the first lipstick I bought (kind of a shocking color for a first lippie!). I wanted to get into brights and this was on sale so I thought 'why not?' and snagged it!<br />
it is a gorgeous dark fuschia shade in the bullet and it transfers almost exactly like that onto my lips. I often like to mix it with a lighter pink lipstick because I'm still scared of wearing bright lipstick and it makes a wearable everyday shade.<br />
it's marketed as a lasting finish lipstick and because of that it's on a drying side. it's also really pigmented and as I'm pretty clumsy while applying lipstick, it often ends up being all over the place. it definitely has a staining effect and leaves a nice tint to your lips after it's worn off. this also means if you apply it a little on your skin, it looks weird and I have to scrub it off so it wouldn't look as red (: this definitely requires a mirror while applying because you don't want to mess it up!<br />
the wear time is good 3-4 hours in my opinion, as I said, I often mix it so I can't tell you exactly but maybe even longer than that because of it's semi-matte finish.<br />
overall, it's a great lipstick but make sure it's for you, because I think it looks pretty weird on my by itself. swatches are your best friend! the formula is great and doesn't bring out little imperfections in your lips which is always a plus in my book.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">have you tried anything from the lasting finish range by rimmel?</span> </div>

hello lovely lot! deciding what to post today has been a struggle but I decided that I wanted to post a haul of my most recent purchases before I review them for you all! also, I don't know which ones I should review, so if you have requests, please, leave them below the post :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
this past month I spent a lot of my money on make-up, just because I wanted to expand my make-up collection and I needed staples like a gel eyeliner, primer, lipsticks (of which I got a few and I can't be happier about it), black and white eyeshadow and so on. I still have no bronzer and no normal blush and I also really need a new foundation brush, hopefully I will get those soon :) now, let's jump into what I bought!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>eveline professional art make-up concealer in 2 <i>almond</i></b> -- bought this on a whim because my essence concealer stick is running out and this was on sale. don't like either one to be honest, they are way to dry and thug on my eyes but this one is a little more creamy and stays on for longer than the essence one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>catrice prime and fine illuminating base</b> -- now this is a staple in my collection. for someone who suffers from dry skin this illuminating base is amazing. it makes my skin look healthy and glowy but not oily. also it smells amazing!</div>

<b><u><br />
</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>catrice made to stay longlasting cream eyeshadow in 040 <i>lord of the blings</i></b> -- a gorgeous champagne cream eyeshadow. a little too glittery but it makes my blue eyes pop like no other!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>golden rose silky touch matte eyeshadow in </b><i><b>214 (hate that they don't name their products!)</b> -- </i>just something I needed for halloween - a matte black eyeshadow. I was left pleasantly surprised after using it and it has so many options for use!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>catrice absolute eye color in 660 <i>ice white open</i></b> -- another thing for halloween - matte white eyeshadow. nothing incredible, also not very pigmented. the packaging looks great but is a real struggle to open - broke my nails while trying! not using it just because of that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>uma raptor collagene mascara</b> -- uma used to have a stand in the drugstore but now they just have a few products in the isle of discounted products and I was in a need of a new mascara so I picked this one up! nothing spectacular, pretty basic, great for everyday :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>catrice eyeliner pen in 050 <i>black blue</i></b> -- I started wearing eyeliner a few years ago and the essence version of eyeliner pen was my staple! I saw this on a great sale and thought I'd pick it up because it's just so simple to use! as I got used to liquid eyeliner it became harder than I remember but I still choose this when I want a quick and easy makeup look. also, the blue is refreshing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>essence eyebrow designer in 02 <i>brown</i></b> -- not really loving this. it wipes off my eyebrows and settles weirdly into little dots...</div>

today I'm reviewing my most loved lipsticks of this fall. it's <b>avon colortrend 'kiss 'n' go' lipstick in lucky kiss</b>. I bought it on a whim when a girl at school offered me a catalogue to go through. I knew I wanted something dark and when I realised it was on sale I bought it. well, I know I'll look at swatches the next time I'm doing something similar because I thought it was terrible when I got it!<br />
<br />
the packaging of this lipstick for me personally looks very tacky. it's white, plastic and looks like something a little girl would get off a magazine. it doesn't look sturdy at all but I carry it to school and nothing happened this far. it is pretty thick plastic, though, so maybe I'm underrating it? it definitely doesn't look luxurious in the slightest.<br />

<br />
<b><i>avon colortrend lipstick in lucky kiss</i></b> is a dark wine red color with a ton of gold glitter all throught-out it. at first I thought it looked like something my grandma would wear but boy was I wrong. I didn't want to waste my money so I immediately thought I will make it work somehow. but after the first application I realised it is gorgeous! my natural lips are pretty red and dark so when I apply this lipstick I get the most perfect dark lip ever. the glitter can only be seen up-close and I have no problem with that. the lipstick's formula is great - it glides on (even on my dry lips) and stays on for a good 2-3 hours. the pigmentation is outstanding. one swipe across the lips and I'm good to go with a very dark wine colored lip. sometimes I blot it with a tissue a little just to get rid of the glitter and to have a more settle color.<br />
<br />
the finish of <b>'lucky kiss' </b>is something between a matte and a regular. it is initially pretty matte but the glitter makes your lips look fuller, bigger, greater and slightly shiny. it doesn't settle in the cracks of my lips and wears really comfortably, no bleeding or anything. it also wears off unnoticeably, doesn't leave any residue what-so-ever which is great. I put a chapstick on before application to make it look even more shiny and so my lips don't dry out as much but I notice that I don't even need it that much.<br />
<br />
overall, avon's <i>'lucky kiss'</i> lipstick is a permanent staple for me this autumn/winter season. it's my first dark lipstick and I can't get enough of it. I think it makes a statement, goes with every outfit and is truly amazing. even my boyfriend complimented it even though his initial thought was similar as mine when he first saw it in the tube :) I think it is seriously worth the purchase, it is very wallet-friendly and for someone like me, with limited funds and an urge to build my makeup collection, it's perfect. one tip to myself - always look at the swatches online before buying something from a catalogue, because the next time it can not work out as well!<br />
<br />
<i><u>*promise to update the post with swatches and myself wearing it, don't have a camera at the moment!</u></i><br />

hello! thursday tags are the most chilled posts to make for me and I decided that because it's thursday I should write one up! I have seen a lot posts of the autumn tag floating around in the blogosphere and thought I should take my spin on it :) haven't been tagged by anyone but it's still fun, right? leave me links to your posts if you've done this!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<i>For Autumn, what is your...</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Favourite thing about it? </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
the leaves everywhere, crisp air (even though I hate the cold weather, I have a cold allergy where my fingers swell up if they get too cold and my blood doesn't circulate as good to my hands and feet so it's a definite struggle, considering I live in a country with a pretty cold climate). also the fashion - scarves, earmuffs, hats, coats and so on!</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #b45f06;">Favourite drink?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
tea or cocoa. I'm always drinking tea to keep me warm and cocoa on those special evenings with a candle on and a good tv show :)</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Favourite scent/candle?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
has to be vanilla and cinammon. I love sweet scents all year around but it just doesn't seem right to burn a tropical candle for example so I choose cozy and warm scents! (also apples!)</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #b45f06;">Best lipstick?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
I don't own it yet but I'm lusting over Kate by Rimmel 107. it seems like a lovely fall shade.</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Go to moisturiser?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
at the moment - garnier moisture match!</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #b45f06;">Go to colours for the eyes?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
reds, oranges, burgundy and purple shades.</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
don't have a favorite band, I just like the same music all year, doesn't change on the season, changes depending on my mood :)</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #b45f06;">Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
studded boots or wedges, warm coat, infinity scarf and gloves.</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Autumn treat? (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on)?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
I will go crazy on makeup this season! I'm already after some matte shadows and the lipstick I mentioned earlier! also, a few candles I have my eye on :)</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #b45f06;">Favourite place to be?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
somewhere warm and cozy, curled up in a blanked on the bed (preferably with my boyfriend), drinking hot cocoa or tea and watching a movie.</div>
<div>

hello! another week passed by and I'm here to talk to you all about it. I kinda like having a lifestyle post every week, as nosy as I am, I always like to get a glimpse of someone else's life and for those of you who like it too, this should be fun!<br />
<br />
this week was nothing extra-ordinary, though. a lot of school work which was left undone. I'm already procrastinating my way through the last school year and it's not good. I should get better - promise! although, if you have posts or tips on procrastinating, send them my way, I'm in a need for some of those :)<br />
<br />
our class schedule is still all over the place - one day I have 7 lessons, another day I have 3 with 3 free periods and I hate that! I should have 3 biology A level classes a week and instead I had 2. same with chemistry B - 1 instead of 2. can't wait until everything gets back to normal and I know what to expect the following day. I did get my first grade this week - it was a 10 from english monologue where I had to talk for 5 minutes about the topics from last year's exams. I couldn't be happier because it was way easier than I had expected! I transfered to a new english teacher this year and she is awesome, I think I know english fairly well but I still want to be as prepared as I can for the exam and my last teacher just couldn't do that.<br />
<br />
the rest of the week was just spending time with my boyfriend doing homework, watching movies and simply being together. we did go out saturday with my classmate and her boyfriend for a walk through the city and then for pizza - it was awesome, really cought up! they both had a cold though and I think I may have cought it, I was feeling pretty ill the whole weekend, hopefully lots of green tea I've been drinking will help with that.<br />
<br />
my dad is still in germany and we still skype everyday but now he's saying he doesn't want to come back. can't blame him though, germany seems way more awesome than lithuania, people are nicer and such, also the sceneries are beautiful from the pictures he sent me! he said maybe me and my mom will go visit him this spring and I can't wait! I've only been out of the country once and it was a looong time ago.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that's pretty much it! how was your week? anything exciting?!</span></div>

whoah, my face up close and personal with you all for the first time on my blog! haha I always wanted to do one of these posts. one day I looked decent enough to gather the courage and take pictures of my make up. nothing too extravagant, just my everyday picks. maybe one day I will actually do something colorful on my eyelids? not sure. keep in mind, there's a lot of Essence. it's cheap, it works great with my skin and I love it!<br />
also, I don't use a lot of products because I don't have a lot of products! but feel free to suggest what I should buy next and what could be the next best thing to my growing collection :)<br />
<br />
so let's get on with the products, shall we?<br />

hello! how are you all today? I'm back with another review of the cult favorite - garnier's moisture match. I was looking for a new moisturizer for a while now, dry patches was driving me insane. when garnier launched this moisturizer in my local shops I was working there and decided to try out it from the testers it had. I actually noticed a huge difference! still wasn't sure if it was worth it so I asked for suggestions at the #bbloggers chat on twitter and a ton of you suggested this. this was my turning point - I realised I had to have it.</div>

garnier nordic moisture match is said to moisturize skin 24 hours a day, leaving you with healthy and plumped skin. it has 3 formulas for different skin types - dry to very dry/normal to dry/combination to oily. I chose dry to very dry skin formula without much thought because that's exactly my skin type. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
this moisturizer is very thick in consistency but sinks into my skin like no other, leaving just a slight residue to moisturize the skin all throughout the day. I think some people might have a problem with that because you can feel the slight oil on your skin throughout the day but for me that's much better than feeling dry all the time. </div>

the foundation with this cream as a base glides on perfectly and it doesn't make it looking cakey or oily. I have yet to experience the huge colds in the winter but I'm hoping this will moisturize my skin enough so I could wear foundation without my dry patches going crazy in the -25 degree weather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
the scent of moisture match is incredible! for me it smells like fruit and summer and sweetness and I have nothing bad to say about it. I could just sniff it all day long! the pot is comfortable for everyday use, although I would like for it to be a tube. the pot version is more difficult to use if you have long nails but it's more efficient since you can scrape out the bottom to the fullest when you use it up, while with the tube you might have some more difficulty squeezing out the very last bits. it has 50 ml of product (I believe packaging differs from country to country. some of you may have the tube version? here where I live the tubes were the testers and when you buy you have a pot version) and is fairly cheap (also has a sale on quite frequently!).<br />

<br />
overall, this moisturizer hasn't failed to impress me. I don't usually like garnier's skincare for my skin type personally but this just made my skin that much better feeling and I no longer suffer. hopefully this will be a lifesaver through the coldness of winter! I would totally recommend it for you all :)<br />

with everyone doing their weekly catch-up posts on sundays I decided to step out of the box and do them on mondays! I know sunday is technically the end day of the week but monday seems a little better to post for me because it's the start of the new week and I seem to have more time/more ideas of what to post on sunday so monday is one of those chill days!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
enough of my rambling about this series! hoping you'll like these posts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this past week was as hectic as ever. if you, by any chance, follow me on twitter you'll know that I had a lot of homework from the very start of the school year. I'm now a senior and this is my last year of school which means exams. I'm trying to do the best I can to study and stay on top of it all instead of slacking and leaving everything for the last minute (which I did last year). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the first day of school was monday for me and it was both exciting and nerve-wrecking. after the awesome sunday #bbloggers chat I became overly exciting about upcoming autumn and so school meant chilly mornings, coffee, cocoa, warm boots, scarves and anything else you could think of. I woke up on monday morning thinking everything is the way I remember it, though waking up early is what I've forgotten - I was waking up at 1pm all summer! let's just say I'm not a morning person. I got ready, put on my burgundy school uniform and stepped outside. the first thing I felt was raindrops! I walk to school and rain meant total disaster but that's fall for you! I met up with my boyfriend and we went to school together - just to be greeted by my classmates and friends for the first time since last school year. then we all went to school, sat in our classrooms, talked to the teachers and went for an 'afterparty' of september 2nd. me, my boyfriend and my bestfriend ended up at my room, watching movies, drinking coke and munching on popcorn while it was pouring outside all day long. I wouldn't trade it for anything, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the rest of the week was constant work - the homework for lit class was too much for me to handle (still is) but I'm getting used to everything else. still haven't got a normal schedule because it's hard to make it individual for every class. until it becomes a regular I have time to get used to waking up andm going to sleep early. I already managed to go to bed at 11pm and actually fall asleep not stay up till 2am which I'm pretty proud of!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also started my shooting practices this week. it's my second year doing it and I love it! we're going to go to the pool every wednesday for a swim just for fun and I can't wait. it's pretty hard to practice when I haven't held a gun in two months but I will get better soon I think. </div>

<br />
hello, my dears! happy sunday! if you started school/uni again, how is it going? for me it is as hectic as ever with lots of literature to read and homework to do on the first day. I'm currently a senior in high school if any of you are wondering :) the year of exams are quickly approaching and I'm trying to stay on top of it all from the very beginning so I wouldn't have any trouble as the year goes :) blogging was put aside for a few3 days until I get my routine going but now I'm back and I will try to post as frequently as I can, drafting the posts at the weekends when I have free time, hoping you don't mind :)<br />
<br />
now let's move onto the wishlist! I gathered some things I've been lusting over this past month, which I'll hopefully get when my payday comes and just wanted to share them all with you :)<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/370788941324?var=640075533792&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649"><i><b>eBay Korean Style studded bag</b></i></a><br />
<br />
it's pure perfection. black, gold detailing, gold big studs on the bottom, half leather half not, short strap and also a really long strap. it's everything I ever looked for in the bag and I can't order it. I have the money in my paypal but I reached some kind of limit and can't buy anything if I don't have a credit card attached to it. and I don't!<br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://www.muastore.co.uk/britain-s-next-top-model-palette"><b><i>MUA britain's next top model pallette</i></b></a><br />
<br />
in my <a href="http://chantelleve.blogspot.com/2013/08/wishlist-2-august-vivo-cosmetics.html">vivo wishlist</a> post I talked about a pallette that had 2 blushes, bronzer, powder and 9 eyeshadows. this is even better! it has 28 shadows, blush, bronzer, powder and all of this is just 7 pounds! as I'm currently working on expanding my collection this could be a perfect addition with some of the thing I have yet to own on it's own. also, perfect for travelling!<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/2013-new-blusher-shades"><i><b>MUA blusher</b></i></a><br />
<br />
I've heard nothing but great things about these blushes from MUA on other blogs and in my opinion for 1 pound you can't go too wrong. colors from the 2013 range are all beautiful and fun, looking forward to trying them as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/mua-power-pout-crazy-in-love"><b><i>MUA power pout</i></b></a><br />
<br />
another one from MUA I've heard great things about! this particular color picture for me would be perfection for fall, it's dark, sultry but can be easily toned down and would suit my skin I think. can't wait to get my hands on it!<br />
<br />
5. <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dove-Summer-Lotion-Medium-250ml/dp/B00AF94XJA/ref=pd_sim_d_3">dove summer glow tanning lotion</a></i></b><br />
<br />
when I was working in my local supermarket there was a huge sale going on this and I kept looking and looking at it but didn't know if it was good or not. recently a ton of reviews popped up on my feedly and I looked through them all just to realise it was an amazing product! can't wait to get my hands on this baby too. I'm going to go for the medium to dark just because I want to see the results faster :)<br />

hello, again! I decided to finally do another beauty review, since they are the most popular posts on my blog and it's a beauty blog so I figured I should finally do one! I promised to do a review on this a long time ago when I bought it back in april (mentioned <a href="http://chantelleve.blogspot.com/2013/04/recent-purchases-1.html">here</a>) but I always thought I wouldn't have much to say about it. after thinking for a while I realised that I actually did! I raved to my friend about this so I wanted to share to a bigger audience too :)<br />
<br />
<i>freeman refining facial cleanser</i> is said to help with acne prone skin because it contains salicylic acid, also it has pear extract.to clear and soften the skin while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. for me, as a 17 year-old girl, the wrinkles was not the factor I chose this for. I was in a terrible need of a cleanser for my dry but acne-prone skin. salicylic acid has always helped me so when I saw it I knew I just had to try it.<br />
<br />
the first thing I noticed about this product was the scent that it has - for me it's exactly the same as bath&body works hand sanitizer in fresh picked apples. I'm a sucker for a nice fruity smell that and I just could sit and smell it every single day, and I do! even though this cleanser contains salicylic acid it's very gentle on my dry skin - I don't feel it moisturized or anything but it also doesn't leave me patchy and gross that most products do. after using this my skin feels clean and soft which is exactly what I look for in a cleanser.<br />

the texture of freeman's facial cleanser is a liquid-gel. it's not runny, lathers well when applied but I have problems with rinsing it off, it seems to stay for a little too long that I would want. also, a little of this goes a loooong way, I use a pea size amount each time, sometimes even less and it is always more than enough to clean my face and get rid of any dirt or makeup. this bottle has 150ml and I believe it will last me a while. as I said I've had this since April and I'm still not even half way done!<br />
<br />
so if you ever spot this - be sure to pick it up! I love it and would recommend it to anyone, in my opinion it would suit a lot of skin types and needs :)<br />
