Revlon Launch New Lip Butter Shades

<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;">Did you hear that? New lip butter colours! Be still my beating heart.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="New Revlon Lip Butter" class="spotlight" height="640" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299301_10151391948229294_1697198425_n.jpg" title="New Revlon Lip Butter" width="636" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As you will know from previous posts (like <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/autumn-beauty-favourites.html" target="_blank">THIS ONE</a>), I adore these little cult lip products. I think they totally live up to the hype bloggers and press have given them and since their release last year, I am yet to grow bored of them. When you consider the amount of lip products I have circulating my handbags, this is high praise indeed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lip Butters are the perfect mix of balm, gloss and lipstick. They provide you with a buildable colour, juicy sheen and leave you lips feeling soft and nourished. They are the perfect step for anyone who is bored of sheer glosses but daunted by full on lipstick. You don't need to faff about with lipliners and you can be proud of the cute quilted packaging as you pull one out of your makeup bag. In short, they are brilliant. I have far too many!!  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When I found out last week that Revlon were to launch three new shades in March and a further 4 new shades this summer, I practically swooned. </div><h3 style="text-align: center;"> </h3><h3 style="text-align: center;">New Revlon Lip Butter<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;">s</span></span> </h3><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>(March Release) </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Red Velvet :: A classic deep red with a buttery twist.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Brown Sugar :: A soft sheer caramel with a nude undertone.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sugar Plum :: the ultimate pop of plum with a hint of berry.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>(Summer Release)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watermelon</div><div style="text-align: center;">Juicy Papaya</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sorbet</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pink Lemonade</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All shades will retail for the usual £7.99 and can be found at standard Revlon counters (Boots and Superdrug are your friends here). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you tried lip butters before?

Darcy Date Day

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">A couple of days ago I made a <span style="font-size: small;">decision</span>. I wanted to have a Mummy-Daughter Date Day where we did nothing but fun things <span style="font-size: small;">and no work, errands or chores. And so we did.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I didn't take too ma<span style="font-size: small;">ny pictures because we were too busy being in the <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;">doings </span></span>AND photogr<span style="font-size: small;">a<span style="font-size: small;">phing a<span style="font-size: small;">n excited</span> toddler is like catching clouds- impossible!</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBXM9isqS4gP1TIiTSA-cMg2ez99Q_nV2qKqmisRz2fHA4RlWC2hUDB0G8AaCg_YPX90REPGn7tqz33kilfcV7ZrR328J6k8MLD8ZEbehKZlg75akRsRKU939uSKGD2OHneQpZQmuGQ95Z/s1600/VCrafts1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="467" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBXM9isqS4gP1TIiTSA-cMg2ez99Q_nV2qKqmisRz2fHA4RlWC2hUDB0G8AaCg_YPX90REPGn7tqz33kilfcV7ZrR328J6k8MLD8ZEbehKZlg75akRsRKU939uSKGD2OHneQpZQmuGQ95Z/s640/VCrafts1.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Excuse the messy background, this was a little snap I took pre paints but post toddler joy at finding a roll of parcel paper. The fun she had with that! I had the paint out and her in a vest ready to get messy, but a roll of brown paper and a my little pony hair comb was far more exciting than the carefully planned activities I'd laid out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It only took about 3 seconds for me to realise I was going to have to go with the flow and if that meant finding 600 games with tubes of paper, then so be it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOR5890fQXaXOtGAF28HC_bh252_JdWjL6KiH0uDGyyl5oCEObcrNsLGXp1_udITeX3Pg3D24LXQJ_D99C-jTa0nPhNbi9ABcFYkH8zuJ4pru4od_ORy0yq6a6qz8i7M4SIC3YsqLke-O5/s1600/VCrafts2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOR5890fQXaXOtGAF28HC_bh252_JdWjL6KiH0uDGyyl5oCEObcrNsLGXp1_udITeX3Pg3D24LXQJ_D99C-jTa0nPhNbi9ABcFYkH8zuJ4pru4od_ORy0yq6a6qz8i7M4SIC3YsqLke-O5/s640/VCrafts2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It turns out that paint hand prints are not our skill. Pinterest makes these things look so easy but alas, they are not. These were the sort of standard we got but I'm happy. Baby Glitter got quite the kick out of squelching paint in her chubby little fists, so all was not lost at sea.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lroVLi9zemx7j8hNrTS8wnh3rpTILDIEWQlvDt7NXzolGIpCSRjKBqzWYwOpw9O_WuQx8vC_LsrSo8Owxk3g7dxbO448uQdm6tpN5oCm_nWxF6Az2WPREwH7tt6B_JgKUE5IWyx2kICS/s1600/VCrafts6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lroVLi9zemx7j8hNrTS8wnh3rpTILDIEWQlvDt7NXzolGIpCSRjKBqzWYwOpw9O_WuQx8vC_LsrSo8Owxk3g7dxbO448uQdm6tpN5oCm_nWxF6Az2WPREwH7tt6B_JgKUE5IWyx2kICS/s640/VCrafts6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Footprints on the other hand (oh, hand, see what I did there?) were quite the breeze and I now have about 30 mint copies of Darcy's right foot. I also have art from this time last year too so I look forward to seeing how much she's grown.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="spotlight" height="213" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/488009_10151391933044294_8157898_n.jpg" style="height: 437px; width: 640px;" width="320" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank goodness for wet wipes!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a brilliant day. We did SO much! I'm sat here at this computer, typing and deleting sentences because I want to put into words the love and bond I feel for this little creature that came into my life under two years ago but it's so difficult. To put it simply, I feel like she is a part of me. I sense all the things she feels without her saying and I never go a minute without having her on my mind. I feel like my mind is richer for having her in it. When she plays with me and puts her little warm hands on me I feel honoured that I was given such a blessing. *Grits teeth* I want to squish her little head! <i>(NB :: This is a figure of speech, obviously would NEVER squish her head!! Cripes!)</i>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't believe I went so many years without her in my life because now I can't imagine a life without her.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Taking a day out has made me cherish those 100% moments and I am all the more than happy to ignore the dishes and the emails and the rest of the world to spend that time with the little love bug.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm quite sure that if you are not one for children that this post might have made you a little queasy at the smooshiness, but if you are a 'baby/child person' or a Mama yourself, I know you'll get it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">From the photos above, can you guess what we made?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a><br /> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Toodlepip!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">xx</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.jijikiki.com/newItems.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">Ji Ji Ki<span style="font-size: small;">ki</span></span></a> .

Huge Boots Haul

<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;">You know when you feel like you haven't had a good splurge in Boots for a while (if splurging in Boots is your thing of course), annnndddd your Husband says he'll look after the baby, annnndd your best friend is in town? Yes? Well that happened. And then I made a video about it.</div><h1 id="watch-headline-title" style="text-align: center;"><span class="watch-title watch-editable" dir="ltr" title="Huge Boots Haul"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3-gnt4TBm6w" width="640"></iframe><br /></span></h1><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I must admit to every now and then picking up the odd thing from Boots. It's no big deal. However, about twice a year, <a href="http://www.zoella.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zoe</a> and I go to the largest Boots we can find and just let our little magpie eyes take us to whatever stand they choose and we fill our baskets with childlike glee. It's fantastic!! We're like kids in a candy shop and then we come home and spill the bags open and riffle through all our loot. We figure that since we don't spend our pennies doing normal best friend things (nights out, weekeneds away etc), that this is our 'thing'.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you would like to see what I bought during my spree, you can watch the video above, or if you have trouble viewing that (I hope you don't though!), then you can click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Sprinkleofglitter?feature=watch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> to be taken to my YouTube Channel. If you are not already subscribed to it, please do come and join our friendly community, we're a nice bunch and as always, it's free. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What is the absolute best thing you have ever bought from Boots?</div><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></span><br /><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Toodlepip!</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">xx</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.jijikiki.com/newItems.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ji JI Kiki</a>.

As Alex Box, Illamasqua's Creative Director, cleverly pointed out that the word 'imperfection' can be 'I'm Perfection'.  With this inspiration, a new collection was born.  </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/AVvXsEh0zcq_RcUWv4kHKZ_Ytq4UA_jqrVm9pp8SPkZNVP2S3am0Hiq08Mjvf1LGKSZd9zOvpoUQ97968UJFVsj8TSGhzTCUq5_fjuuLFDV-eyelk89vM4LAgpawcGo2e4EKdvaLkIY80rRRm1A3/s1600/Illamasqua+Imperfection2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zcq_RcUWv4kHKZ_Ytq4UA_jqrVm9pp8SPkZNVP2S3am0Hiq08Mjvf1LGKSZd9zOvpoUQ97968UJFVsj8TSGhzTCUq5_fjuuLFDV-eyelk89vM4LAgpawcGo2e4EKdvaLkIY80rRRm1A3/s640/Illamasqua+Imperfection2.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The new collection boasts 5 limited edition nail varnishes (£14.50 each), created by Product Developer David Horne. Side note :: Having spent a day with David at the Illamasqua Master Class, I can honestly say he is one of the most interesting and charismatic men I have ever met. You know that fun game people sometimes play where you have to choose the ultimate ten dinner party guests (and everyone always seems to pick Stephen Fry)? Well I'd pick David as one of mine. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back on topic, David took his inspiration for these varnishes from nature, which is incredibly beautiful yet incredibly flawed. You know how little birdie eggs have that gorgeous speckled effect, well that's what these polishes are. Egg speckles. I LOVE that! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With two sizes of glitter flecks, what I found most interesting was that the glitter was matte (so we can question whether this really is glitter<i>- I'm a glitter freak</i>) so the 'speckled' effect really is as true as it could be. Saying that, wouldn't it be huh-mazing if real bird eggs were speckled with glitter? Oh my!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLcdSsuPuL9pgLuv0sUYaEZfRQs5hf1yowkxjbEFBtI5TKd7gpkcxmSbI6CLlw1y773IBdZNg4hp3N4mx58SOR8dSim-uwAffnJiXnUccqyGVecjaF3EWRzYOcMKu7I2VYp03f_nZQJiBR/s1600/Illamasqua+Blusher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLcdSsuPuL9pgLuv0sUYaEZfRQs5hf1yowkxjbEFBtI5TKd7gpkcxmSbI6CLlw1y773IBdZNg4hp3N4mx58SOR8dSim-uwAffnJiXnUccqyGVecjaF3EWRzYOcMKu7I2VYp03f_nZQJiBR/s640/Illamasqua+Blusher.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As well as 5 nail polishes, 2 eye products (speckled liners) and 2 lip products (intense lipgloss in green and girlie lipstick in pick-featured above), Illasmasqua have launched 3 new blush duos and a innovative new makeup brush.<br /><br />The idea is to place the product loaded brush with the tips pointing toward your nostril and upper ear, under your cheek bone and flick/push upwards towards (but not to) your eye. This method, unlike the conventional swirls on the apples of your cheeks, is designed to create a soft oval hue on the cheek bone. You can continue applying blush in this method to create a more dramatic effect too. What I have always loved about Illamasqua powders is that they really are easy to blend, so building colour is a doddle.<br /><br />Naturally, I would have been grateful for any product that was in a goody bag, but when I saw I had been given 'Lover & Hussy' I was pleased as punch because girly pinks and sweet corals are right up my alley!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" height="640" src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cd4743c8a36a1a301eb694f3298229c8/tumblr_mhaqnhzwCi1ri30i6o1_1280.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(A few quick snaps from the event- it was too pretty to waste)</i></span><br /><br />Illamasqua is a brand that strives and succeeds in pushing limits. It challenges stereotypes and questions the status quo. Some of it's products are a little outlandish for me but more often than not, I fall a little bit in love with them (I'm on my third pot of Beguile for goodness sake!). I love this collection not just for the pretty pastels and easy to wear blushers, but for the ethos behind it and the idea that acceptance of our natural selves is true beauty, it is perfection.<br /><br />What stands out for you in this collection? Are you in love with the concept too?<br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></span></div></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.jijikiki.com/newItems.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ji Ji Kiki</span></a> .

With sturdy packaging, a good sized mirror and three fabulous shades to enable you to achieve the perfect blush, bronze and highlight trio, you have all bases covered. Look out for this featured in a future FOTD (face of the day, if you're new) or full review. With it's £20 price tag, I have high hopes. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Urban Decay Ammo Palette  </h3><div style="text-align: center;">The Ammo is an old favourite, brought back again with the same ten colours but reformulated pigments. The colours are Urban Decay's top ten sellers, neatly encased in a lightweight, revamped, cardboard palette. I have previously owned the flocked palette and used it until I had touched pan on every single shade. I LOVED that little palette so to have a new one in my mitts is simply thrilling.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oil Slick is one of the blackest blacks I have ever used, wet or dry, and Polyester Bride makes such a fantastic inner corner/brow bone highlighter that I actually purchased it in it's singular potted form when the palette ran out. Sin and Maui Wowie make for great all over colours and Chopper looks superb on blue eyes. All the shades have such brilliant colour pay off and fabulous wearing duration.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The only (and I'm clutching at straws here) negatives to this product would be the packaging doesn't click shut (it's magnetic) so it's not one you can easily throw into the deep dark depths of your handbag and also, if you absolutely detest shimmer/frost hues, this might not suit. I on the other hand relish a bit o' shimmer so have no complaints in this department! Retailing for £23 (£5 less than the <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/urbandecay/ammoshadowbox/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">original ammo</a> and that one comes sans primer potion!), I think that is a snip for the amount of use I know you will get out of this item and urge you to add it to your wishlist!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Talking of wishlists, I think I've just added <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/_/N-?Ntk=All&Ntt=urban+decay+basics&Ntx=mode%2bmatchallpartial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS</a> palette to mine!

Motivational Monday #1

<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;">It's Monday, you're at your office desk/reading your phone on the commute/feeding the baby/not listening in class because Sprinkle of Glitter is so thrilling (haha) and the weekend seems like a long way off.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know the feeling. I used to go into my old office with a very heavy heart- world's biggest YAY for working from home!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To help you combat this, we're going to be a happy glitter family and stay motivated. We're going to embrace the week and all it will offer to us. It's going to be a good one, I can feel it in my waters....wherever they may be.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8sBQS2mtB5J5jagddxbUBviuyJ1f1Ztzvz9UpC9_WJHP3tmc9iMLRdglKe1YkeAIcQPadf7BeVo_zeGD2Giss0eh18rkBT3BiA5Px-6lw1Dc_czBOjwuDL4K3f1cLFAkQGlX9Ue-sehWB/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-01-31+at+19.52.04.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8sBQS2mtB5J5jagddxbUBviuyJ1f1Ztzvz9UpC9_WJHP3tmc9iMLRdglKe1YkeAIcQPadf7BeVo_zeGD2Giss0eh18rkBT3BiA5Px-6lw1Dc_czBOjwuDL4K3f1cLFAkQGlX9Ue-sehWB/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-01-31+at+19.52.04.png" width="520" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, as you can see, I turned to the most motivational place on <strike>earth</strike> the internet, <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This little slogan really struck a cord with me. There are so many huge things I want to do but often feel put off or overwhelmed by. This week, I'm going to take one of them and start at the very beginning...'it's a very good place to start'. I won't go into what it is because it's pretty personal, but I'm glad to be starting and making a dent in my journey.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The reason I'm writing this is because there might be someone else out there who has something they want to start but have previously been daunted by such a large task. If that's you, come and hold my hand and we'll do it together, as a community. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Feel free to share your big things below, whether it's exactly what you want to do and how you're going to do it, or just that you're in it with me, I'd love to hear.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you about to start something big?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></span></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></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;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.jijikiki.com/newItems.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ji Ji Kiki</a> .

Planning My Life

<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;">For the first time in my entire life, I'm keeping up with some of my New Years Resolutions. Stop the press, this is news. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of them was to be more organised with dates, appointments and things that are happening.</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/AVvXsEjKnSVY7Y7RV12wwgGDesijU7GhlOYJMNSn9p-m84jpbLWbYAC-ChgFzxz7PThaRNEEz2_pP0ZawWBBKQ_NuEZRIih8DiEhWRH1-1DZVeYMypzoXC1gygyaPaSQH3WM2dXRXIMd6QDp-Q6o/s1600/Diary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKnSVY7Y7RV12wwgGDesijU7GhlOYJMNSn9p-m84jpbLWbYAC-ChgFzxz7PThaRNEEz2_pP0ZawWBBKQ_NuEZRIih8DiEhWRH1-1DZVeYMypzoXC1gygyaPaSQH3WM2dXRXIMd6QDp-Q6o/s640/Diary.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just before Christmas, I was contacted by the kind folk over at <a href="http://www.personal-planner.co.uk/EN/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Personal Planner</a> and asked if I would like to try one of their diary designing services. Knowing that I intended to keep myself more in check, I said, 'Yes Please!'.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Having used it for a full month, I am so happy. Usually there is something you can fault with a product or service but really, there is nothing. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the spirit of being organised, I'll tell you what I love about this planner.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. The website is really easy to navigate, even for non technical types like me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. There is a HUGE range of ways to customise your diary- you can choose your front & back cover images, the colour of the stretchy string (brilliant for keeping everything together), the layout of the week, the colour of the pages, the top motif on the pages, the little quirks on the page (like list making or things to check off), features in the front of the book (quotes, notes, info etc) and the size of the diary. I even have a few pages of puzzles in the back for when I'm bored on trains! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Delivery time is reasonable considering it is a custom made item. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">4. Ranging from £14.99 - £21.99, I think that's a pretty good price for what you are getting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">5. The whole thing feels really high quality. Nothing is flimsy or cheapy feeling, the paper is thick and it is bound very well. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think having so much control over an organisation tool is fabulous for someone like me who is not a natural diariser, it makes the whole 'let's note this down' shibang feel much more appealing!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have been getting by trying to remember your dates and wishing you'd perhaps picked a diary up when shops were stocking them, I'd advise checking out Personal Planner and having a gander at the services they offer. Although I was sent this product complimentary, I have no doubt that I'll be using this again next year as well as treating Matt to a diary for September, as he works on an academic calendar. Yay for being a bit more 'with it'!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you a fan of diaries or do you muddle through? What do you think to this- fun or frivolous?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.dotcomgiftshop.com/?siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-THieb.QscCZfgGtfo6UXhA" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">DotComGiftShop</a> .
