<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinkerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Remember that spending ban I was on? No? Nor do I.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not usually one for internet shopping. I prefer to actually have the experience of being in the store, touching the products, mooching around etc, but a couple of weeks ago (before my <b><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/two-weeks-too-fast.html" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">busy stint</a></b>), I ran away with myself...and my debit card. Woops.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've made a video of the haul which I will link as soon as it's live, but for now, here's a little teaser.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bDtq2yznGkvZnJM5htBeyzX_GiS3p00TTyQTUz6wLRYabQUiEsgh7jNcOPK2l0LsfkUpamiIhp0I9tSKBoAa-5wgrMlETpvqXY53w_2_gNU_5W9ZJJPIDXKGNddNNnkJj2BN9Ig0VX9-/s1600/haul1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bDtq2yznGkvZnJM5htBeyzX_GiS3p00TTyQTUz6wLRYabQUiEsgh7jNcOPK2l0LsfkUpamiIhp0I9tSKBoAa-5wgrMlETpvqXY53w_2_gNU_5W9ZJJPIDXKGNddNNnkJj2BN9Ig0VX9-/s640/haul1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This nifty storage case is actually a shoe organiser but I have used it as a toy tidy. I love that I can see what's where and it's safe for Baby Glitter to drag about. It was only £3.99 and there is a buy 2 get 1 free offer, so if you have a lot of shoes/toys/anything at all you want to store away, it's a winner!

How To || Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have been a reader of this sparkly blog for a long time, you may well know that I have a deep, deep love for Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. Over the past year or so I have tried many a remover in the hope that it will live up to my beloved Cleanse and Polish, but alas, none have. Not one. Not a sausage. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(NB- Please don't rub sausages round your face, they won't remove your waterproof mascara.) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since I talk about it so often, mention it in tonnes of videos, recommend it on <a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">facebook</a>, I thought (I can't take the credit for this, it was requested) I ought to film a video showing exactly how to use it. I know it isn't rocket science, but if you are new to a product, I often find it can be a little daunting. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0ZZoLRb7J9Q" width="640"></iframe> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This video is also on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Sprinkleofglitter?feature=mhee" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a> but embedding it here means those of you who are strictly blog readers can see it too- hurrah for modern technology eh!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you would like to read my 'Battle of the Cleansers' post from last year (guess who won?), you can see that <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/lous-reviews-battle-of-cleansers.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I really enjoyed doing a bit of a 'how to' and being in a different set up....and being a bit naked haha...so perhaps you'll see a few more of these sorts around these here parts of the interweb. Hooray!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you a fan of this product? Have you found anything to beat it?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month my <i>Ultimate Advertiser</i> is <a href="http://www.ladyofvintage.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Lady of Vintage</b></a>.

February FOTD

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Those of you who watch my videos may well have noticed that I have been sporting the same sort of look of late. I have found a look that I find quick, easy and suitable for day/night/the lot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On Saturday morning, before leaving for the IMATS, I snapped a few quick shots. I never know quite how to pose for facey shots, I know there is a certain blog style but having tried them, I look like a total goon, so I just tried to show you the products like a noooormal person. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUKRS2VzMeSfhdsTeOZv218wM-ybHaGe9aFPQZuaPp6c0wrgYcRdp6uKWADXLOOZMsrZSvc8PAVcTPPkUIbJy6pG3JR8Cu4HiK7O9evz_9C5v_40WzDNpwDPZgo1bHilrvYESuqds-yamv/s1600/IMG_5638.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUKRS2VzMeSfhdsTeOZv218wM-ybHaGe9aFPQZuaPp6c0wrgYcRdp6uKWADXLOOZMsrZSvc8PAVcTPPkUIbJy6pG3JR8Cu4HiK7O9evz_9C5v_40WzDNpwDPZgo1bHilrvYESuqds-yamv/s640/IMG_5638.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGiqtFcD9fTHC8Cz7aW7guno8Ato7maGaOcskew-Ir18rnVStpxuK2VPhmhJUIooAEJ_62wFI9Hw4B2Q46Vu28QSsfQ7KJn4piEaoVqT-EqLYLdW4NwCkHr6a6XMI2hKgMcNS9w0XDKtm8/s1600/IMG_5640.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGiqtFcD9fTHC8Cz7aW7guno8Ato7maGaOcskew-Ir18rnVStpxuK2VPhmhJUIooAEJ_62wFI9Hw4B2Q46Vu28QSsfQ7KJn4piEaoVqT-EqLYLdW4NwCkHr6a6XMI2hKgMcNS9w0XDKtm8/s640/IMG_5640.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Face</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Moisturiser- I'm currently trying out a few, reviews to come.</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer, NW15.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Foundation, 02 Beige.</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC MSF, Soft and Gentle.</div><div style="text-align: center;">2True Face and Body Bronzer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Lips</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Boots own brand Strawberry Lip Balm.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topshop Lipstick, Brighten Rock.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss, Pink Pop.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Eyes</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">HD Brow Kit, Vamp.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Illamasqua Pure Pigment, Beguile.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topshop Eyeliner, Coal.

I can do this entire look in about 10 minutes. If I want to make it a bit more 'night time', I would use more eyeliner and spend longer on my lashes and also use a lipliner to do better lips, but seeing as this was at 7.30am, I was pleased.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you have a look that you find yourself going back to again and again?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div>
