I was very fortunate to be given some Wahanda vouchers lately for a day of pampering. I went to the Living Well spa at the Hilton in Sheffield with my lovely sister <a href="http://maylovesmakeup.com/">May </a>and we had a really nice day of girly pampering.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ngdmwl2udbU/TbMURywzUvI/AAAAAAAAAW0/gbx9JhJpe5c/s1600/vouchers.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ngdmwl2udbU/TbMURywzUvI/AAAAAAAAAW0/gbx9JhJpe5c/s400/vouchers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598841057668453106" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The lovely staff at the spa were very attentive, checking we were enjoying the day and keeping us supplied with drinks. The luxury pedicure was my first treatment and Abby looked after me. I had a delicious mint foot scrub and and foot wrap before she painted my nails with a Jessica polish.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C5Dy5d0W_O4/TbMVqDErnYI/AAAAAAAAAXE/472YqqgHObM/s1600/so_la_nail_polish_602_l.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C5Dy5d0W_O4/TbMVqDErnYI/AAAAAAAAAXE/472YqqgHObM/s400/so_la_nail_polish_602_l.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598842573875289474" border="0" /></a><br />Next I had a luxury manicure, which included a full hand scrub and hand wrap, my cuticles were given some much needed attentions and my nails looked fab painted with Jessica's 'So LA' polish which I loved so much I had to buy my own bottle! (Abby was even kind enough to redo my nails after I accidentally bodged them!)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5dYo9SzH1K0/TbMU4ohRZ0I/AAAAAAAAAW8/aosydui5VU0/s1600/massage.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5dYo9SzH1K0/TbMU4ohRZ0I/AAAAAAAAAW8/aosydui5VU0/s400/massage.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598841724933859138" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Finally I had a back neck and shoulder massage, I was asked if there were any areas I would partcularly like to work on which was lower back, however a thorough job was done for all areas and I was. The room was very relaxing, with lighting and music that really helped with the mood, and the whole spa was clean and well presented. The day was finished off with a complimentary lunch which was delicious!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone at Living Well Sheffield and if you fancy your own spa day or treating a special someone to a pampering treat you can go to the <a href="http://www.wahanda.com/the-wahanda-gift-voucher/">Wahanda site</a> to purchase vouchers.<br /><br />Anyone else been to a spa lately?

Let me know in a comment!<br /><br />Love and Tickles<br /><br />Ruthie<br /><br />XOXOXRuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-64915005795074205562011-02-16T11:56:00.001-08:002011-02-16T12:06:56.681-08:00My Nail Of The Day!Hello lovelies,<br /><div></div><br /><div>Hope you're all having a super day!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574380986124453826" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y0-YQwShFZg/TVwt-Pijx8I/AAAAAAAAAWc/9vmqynoX0hc/s200/SDC13430.JPG" />Today I'm showing you my nails of the day with a colour I'd never really seen before! It's the School Skirt shade in the With Love range from Accessorize! I'd never tried any of their nail polishes before but I absolutely love this grey shade and I'm excited to try other colours they have as well!<br /><div></div><br /><div>It comes in a 10ml bottle and costs £4 which I think is a really good price. It dries quickly and leaves a high gloss finish so I'm not needing to use a top coat to add shine. </div><br /><div></div><div>I really love this polish and it's a perfect shade for this time of year!</div><br /><div></div><div>Anyone else tried the With Love range? What did you think?</div><br /><div></div><div>Love and Tickles</div><br /><div>Ruthie</div><br /><div>XOXOX</div>Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-729800920453065282011-02-15T10:51:00.000-08:002011-02-15T11:16:00.184-08:00Clearer Skin with The Beauty Works Clear Zone!Hey lovelies,<br /><br />Hope you're all well!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573996334283813762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5qcArU0XFhc/TVrQIjxQ84I/AAAAAAAAAWU/7WcHf6O521Y/s200/Clear%2BZone.jpg" />The other week I was asked by the lovely Natalie from The Beauty Works to review ClearZone from their range. I was very excited to try this product out as I do suffer from blemishes from time to time particularly on my cheeks and chin which can often lead to me feeling self concious and always wanting to cover it up.<br /><br />Clear Zone produces Ozone with a High Frequency current which effectively sterilises the skin, prevents oiliness, dries spots, kills bacteria leaving your skin clearer, with a healthy glow.<br /><br />First impressions of Clear Zone was that I thought the product looked really neat and very well made. It was all compact which makes for easy carrying around when needed. Opening the lid transforms into a mirror and inside is the appliance which comes with a lens (which lights up when in use) used for the quest to clearer skin!<br /><br />It also comes with an instruction guide so you know exactly what to do!<br /><br />Once plugged in, you can rotate the Intensity Control clockwise to select how much intensity you want depending on your skin. You then gently glide the lens over the skin allowing the Ozone to be produced. (The higher the intensity the more you should be able to smell the Ozone, it's like being at the seaside!) <p>You can either do it all over the face as a general routine or if like me you suffer from specific blemishes, you gently hold the lens over the blemish for a couple of seconds close to the skin until a 'zapping' effect is heard. This is in no way painful and is effective in getting rid of those annoying spots!<br /><br />I had to use this for a couple of weeks but as a result my skin looked a lot clearer. I do still have the odd spot now and again but it is a real improvement from what I had before and the spots I do have are no longer as red or as big.<br /><br />I am overall impressed with this product. It's a method I had never used before but now that I have I would be keen to continue with it.<br /><br />Anyone else used anything similar? How did it work for you? Leave me a comment and let me know!<br /><br />Love and Tickles<br /><br />Ruthie<br /><br />XOXOX</p>Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-30323476979748058652011-01-13T12:15:00.000-08:002011-01-13T12:41:32.049-08:00Sweet Dreams With Johnson's Dreamy Skin Facial Night Moisturiser!Hey lovelies, <div><br /><div>Hope you're all having a terrific Thursday!</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 179px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561772126024473666" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TS9iR_VbnEI/AAAAAAAAAWA/KdbQP0OL46o/s200/SDC13347.JPG" /><br /><div></div>Today I wanted to share a quick post with you on Johnson's Dreamy Skin Night Moisturiser for the face!<br /><br /><div></div><div>Since I've been using this dreamy cream my skin has been radiant, soft and moisturised and the moonflower-enriched fragrance 'known for it's relaxing properties' is perfect to help you get a good night's sleep!</div><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561772828897211266" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TS9i65vWc4I/AAAAAAAAAWI/1FByD-rsCMs/s200/SDC13360.JPG" /><br /><div></div><div>It's rich and creamy formula is light and easily absorbed into the skin and in the morning my skin feels a lot softer and smoother!</div><br /><div>This has to be one of my favourite night creams I've used and definately has the best fragrance!</div><br /><div>Has anyone tried anything from the Dreamy Skin range?

It will be interesting to see what items will catch my attention this year!<br /><br />This is in no particular order but first:<br /><br />1. Batiste Dry Shampoo - This has been my staple must-have and have used plenty of this over last year. It's perfect for those quick fixes, smells great, my favourite being a toss up between Boho and Tropical and getting them in travel size means I can always have it with me! I look forward to seeing what other scents will be brought out in the future!<br /><br />2. Erase Paste - I think this has to be my favourite concealer and have used plenty over 2010. I only need to use a little bit and the creamy consistency covers blemishes and dark circles a treat!<br /><br />3. Prestige Skin Loving Mineral Foundation - I really enjoyed using this product and am using it under my liquid foundation to keep it put for longer and as a result have also had clearer skin. Will be adding this to my list to buy again when it runs out!<br /><br />4. Ecotools Brushes - I love using this product as the brushes are really super soft and natural. I have the powder, blush and eyeshadow brush and it's made applying my makeup a lot easier! I will definately be adding to my Ecotools collection!<br /><br />5. Maybelline Eye Definer Liquid Eyeliner - Sometimes it's fun to create really dramatic eyes or adding feline flicks and I've found using this product really easy to do. With the pen style eyeliner it makes applying it neat and precise making bold, beautiful eyes!<br /><br />What products were your favourites in 2010? Leave me a comment let me know!<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561429151903067586" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TS4qWRKvLcI/AAAAAAAAAV4/T-acl-vrDuI/s200/tumblr_levxv4Lxbi1qdtlmso1_500_thumb.jpg" />Love and Tickles<br /><br />Ruthie<br /><br />XOXOX<br /><br />(Picture from weheartit.com)Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-78735910700626799042011-01-10T10:27:00.000-08:002011-01-10T11:22:12.032-08:00Lasting Performance, Lasting ImpressionHey Lovelies,<br /><br /><div>Hope you're all having a marvellous Monday!</div><br /><div>I had bought a new foundation a while ago and had been meaning to do a post about what I think is a super find! Max Factor's Lasting Performance Foundation!</div><br /><div>Typical scenario, pale skinned girl looking for an equally pale foundation and after countless trials and testers, still no joy! Until that is I came across this beaut!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 142px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560635251002877074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TStYTJ2KpJI/AAAAAAAAAVo/je0SOkx4Qzs/s200/SDC13313.JPG" />I am always on the look out for a new foundation that not only gives great coverage but that doesn't always make me look a much darker shade. I had for a while tried Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation in Shell and for a while I thought I had hit the jackpot, the coverage was ideal but after a while I soon realised that the shade was slightly darker than my skin tone and also rather masking!<br /><br /><div></div><div>Max Factor's Lasting Performance does exactly what it says on the....er..bottle. It lasts all day, without going patchy or dry my skin out as few others can do. The colour (100 Fair) is a pretty spot on match for my skin and covers blemishes and red areas a treat! I really liked this product as the coverage was high but without making my face, heavy, masking or dull.</div><br /><div>It got even better when it cost £9.99 from Boots! I had also cut down on how much I spent compared to other premium brand foundations I had tried in the past!</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 154px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560638990099436066" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TStbszEQUiI/AAAAAAAAAVw/TrH-kAn-GE0/s200/SDC13334.JPG" />I tried to do a swatch but my camera wasn't picking it up very well on my hand so I'm showing you a snippet of my face with the foundation on. I haven't put anything on my neck so you can see how well it matches my skin tone.<br /><div></div><br /><div>So overall impression! Definately a lasting one! My favourite so far, I think I may have found my match!</div><br /><div>Anyone else tried this? What did we think?

I have also just bought their mascara and thought I would give this a trial run too!<br /><br /><div></div><div>First impressions, I really liked the packaging. It was sleek and sophisticated looking and was a nice size too. At the price of £10.49 I thought this would be a decent mascara to use.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550644580735410690" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TQfZ1m0uYgI/AAAAAAAAAVI/MMqr2lbV7V0/s200/SDC13007.JPG" />However, unfortunately the same can't be said for the actual product itself. I found it dried very quickly on my lashes which meant applying a second coat made my lashes clumpy and thick. With this product I wasn't able to really give my eyes any 'definition' and I found it was hard to work with.<br /><div></div><div>On the plus side, the brush was a good size and did cover my lashes evenly but it was shame the mascara dried too quickly.</div><br /><div>So overall I'm afraid I'm not going to be in hurry to buy this again. I do, in my opinion, feel you can get better mascaras at a cheaper price. I am disappointed as I am enjoying using their other products but for me, I think I will be looking elsewhere next time I need to stock up on this particular item.</div><br /><div>Has anyone else tried this?

A nice exotic scent if you're getting the winter blues!<br /><br /><div></div><div>It is 100% natural and 'specially formulated' with Mango Butter. It leaves lips smooth, nourished and hydrated. The balm is easy to apply and sweeps over lips with no problem. Packaging is nice and small so ideal for your pocket or bag and at a price of £3.49 I think it's a decent price. I feel I'll bee (sorry I couldn't resist!) getting my money's worth.</div><br /><div>Which Burt's Bees products are your favourites!

I was immediately drawn to the shelves as, on each shelf, they had makeup for fair, medium and dark toned skin! Perfect! Blushers, Lipsticks, powders etc to suit your skin tone on each shelf! Easy!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542855411345820418" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TOwtoRqeiwI/AAAAAAAAAP4/jEjjLAT41go/s200/SDC12950.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542854905770493474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TOwtK2P7RiI/AAAAAAAAAPw/T9LCK_igVSA/s200/SDC12949.JPG" />I would have loved to have bought everything on the 'fair' shelf but I managed to contain myself (and my coins in my purse) and came away with a couple of items to try out.<br /><br />I was after a new lipstick but sometimes find it difficult to get the right colour for my pale complexion. I found 'Vintage Pink' which is a nude, pinkish, brown tone which is natural and gives the face a warm glow. (152)<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542855811637998146" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TOwt_k3kckI/AAAAAAAAAQA/-Gw-Vejc-Ho/s200/SDC12953.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 136px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542856125777936402" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TOwuR3IXgBI/AAAAAAAAAQI/uQflFQtQNl8/s200/SDC12947.JPG" />I also purchased face powder from the fair collection just named 'Fair' and it's so pale which is perfect as I find it doesn't distort the colour of my foundation and stays put all day! I really liked the packaging with a decent sized mirror for those minor touch-ups!<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542856667364336130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TOwuxYsoIgI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/Na_H0Gzd9nU/s200/SDC12955.JPG" />I can't say this range is budget price as both the lipstick and powder cost £9.99 each but I find it is definately worth the money and will be buying these again!<br /><br /><div>You can check out their website at myfacecosmetics.com.</div><br /><div>Anyone else tried their range?

My friend had this blusher and after she let me use it I completely fell in love with it and had to buy my own!<br /><br />The blusher in question is No 7's Natural Blush (£8.75 from Boots) and comes in a range of colours to suit all skin tones, Soft Damson, Honey, Candy Pink and Coral Flush.</div><br /><div>I had been using 'Honey' and the shade really suits my skin, as it's more of a subtle burnt orange rather than a pinky shade.</div><br /><div>No 7 Natural Blush is really soft and I don't need to use a lot to give my cheeks a natural healthy glow!</div><br /><div></div><div>Would definately recommend this to anyone wanting to add a new blusher to their makeup!</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519802715799384290" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TJpHUyl1cOI/AAAAAAAAAPo/HkG7yM3xDt4/s200/Blush.jpg" /><br /><div>Anyone else tried this out?

It was true to my skin tone and covered blemishes and dark circles under the eyes pretty well! The colour blended really well and after using under my foundation, my skin looked a lot clearer. </div><br /><div></div><div>Touche Magique Concealer comes in a 'wand' like shape with a brush which made the application super easy. </div><br /><div></div><div>It comes in 6 shades so you're bound to find the one for you and I've found I don't have to use a lot in each use so it should last me a long time!</div><br /><div>But what do we think girlies?

I love your comments so go right ahead and leave me one!</div><br /><div>Love and Tickles</div><br /><div></div><div>Ruthie</div><br /><div>XOXOX</div>Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-86521768281632904622010-07-30T06:19:00.000-07:002010-07-30T06:29:19.160-07:00EOTD!Hey Girlies,<br /><br />Hope you're all having a fabulous Friday!<br /><br />My gorgeous friend has come up for the weekend and she was kind enough to let me loose on her to give her an eye makeover!<br /><br />This was the result:<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499689047052661586" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TFLSDLiuM1I/AAAAAAAAAOY/8MsR6tv3jPI/s200/DSCF1217.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499689485950276754" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TFLScukEVJI/AAAAAAAAAOg/l8-jyQ1MdWg/s200/DSCF1214.JPG" /> I used eyeshadows by Urban Decay and used Sellout as the base shade then I used YDK and then Twice Baked just on the lid. <p>I then finished off with a little brown eyeliner and a coat of mascara and she was good to go!</p><p>Love and Tickles</p><p>Ruthie</p><p>XOXOX</p>Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-3454297528540663492010-07-29T13:47:00.000-07:002010-07-29T14:11:13.847-07:00Collection 2000 Pressed PowderHey ladies,<br /><br /><div></div><div>Hope you're all having a great Thursday!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 172px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499438288495781554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TFHt_HH5JrI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/M4dy1FL_d1Y/s200/Collection+2000+Pressed+Powder.jpg" />I love it when you wander round stores and end up coming back with little gems you never went in for in the first place!<br /><br /><div></div><div>This happened when I was in Asda the other day and as always I love looking at the comestics aisle! I came across a makeup range I had never really heard of before, Collection 2000. </div><br /><div>I was in desperate need of some face powder and after seeing the super cheap price tag I thought I would give it a go.</div><br /><div>The results I got I was really pleased with! The powder is ultra fine so easily blends into the skin without making the face look cakey or powdery and it has the added benefit of Vitamin E, UVA UVB sunscreen!</div><br /><div>I got the palest shade (Ivory) but there are 8 other shades available to choose from to suit all types of skin tones. I didn't need to apply a lot and it controlled shine all day and kept my makeup staying put!</div><br /><div>I have to say at such a bargain price and a range that isn't the most well known, it really exceeded my expectations. I think I may have to stock up!</div><br /><div>Anyone else tried any Collection 2000 products? What do we think?</div><br /><div>Love and Tickles </div><br /><div>Ruthie</div><br /><div>XOXOX</div>Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-20165751944572241892010-07-25T08:14:00.000-07:002010-07-25T08:30:21.576-07:00Go On, Have A Bite!Hey Girlies<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 88px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 111px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497865767098022546" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TExXyUaoepI/AAAAAAAAANo/GQFj_6HZctQ/s200/DKNY+Ripe+Raspberry.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 88px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 111px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497866344464973346" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TExYT7Ro_iI/AAAAAAAAAOA/zIpDxgNu5i8/s200/DKNY+Sweet+Caramel.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 88px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 111px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497865776278809394" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TExXy2ngKzI/AAAAAAAAANw/tw20tB-1JPA/s200/DKNY+Juicy+Berry.jpg" />This is a quick post about a summer fragrance I bought a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div>I bought the DKNY Ripe Raspberry Candy Apple Eau de Parfum and it has a lovely light scent of cola and of course raspberries! The fabulous fruity scent lasts all day so I only need a little spritz and I'm good to go. </div><br /><div>The gorgeous candy apple packaging also caught my eye and looks great on my dresser! You can get DKNY's Limited Edition Candy Apples in two other fragrances, Sweet Caramel and Juicy Berry! I've not tried those yet but I will have to get my skates on if it's limited edition! DKNY Candy Apples are 50ml and costs around £30.00 from Boots.</div><br /><div>So come on girls! What you waiting for...take a bite!</div><br /><div>Love and Tickles</div><br /><div>Ruthie</div><br /><div>XOXOX</div></div></div></div>Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16356081920596265269noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491376702212039096.post-1407132595477470932010-07-23T10:38:00.000-07:002010-07-23T10:47:05.298-07:00I'm Back!Hey girlies,<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497158955658830098" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4EZuBJBY-JI/TEnU8enm4RI/AAAAAAAAANY/8u3NImtAUIc/s200/Butterfly.jpg" />Wow it's seems a loooong time since I was last on here so I thought I would explain the reasons for my absence:<br /><br /><div></div><div>As most of you will know I was away on holiday but upon my return my laptop decided to have it's own holiday too and decided to break down on me!!
