My Top 5 Products From The Dream Box
When British Beauty Blogger released her latest beauty box I was ready & waiting to snap one up. I had missed out on the previous 2 boxes and after seeing what goodies were jam packed into those ones I had to bag this latest one for myself. If you want to see the full contents of that box you can click here. On The Dream Box Jane teamed up with beauty box experts Latest in Beauty & from what I have heard there is another box in the making. So keep your eyes peeled for a release date.
My good friend Becki who blogs over at Life Looks Perfect posted about her top 5 products from the box, I thought it was such a great idea, she inspired me to do the same. So make sure you pop over & check out Becki's top products & see if we picked any the same.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara £19
This mascara makes your lashes look so good! I found the formula quite wet at first so I had to make sure I didn't apply too much product & get clumping. If you take your time you can get the brush right in to each individual lash & apply mascara from base to tip, this gives you great volume and by coating each lash your lashes look thick & so fluttery. You can really build this up to look dramatic, its a lovely very intense black mascara that wears well throughout the day, no fall out or crispy lashes. I'm kind of in love. Oh & if you like big mascara brushes you will love this one. I'd say this lives up to it's claims.
Janjira Thai Lime & Ginger Hand Wash £16 for 250ml
This was the first product I used from the entire box & I instantly liked it. I have naturally very dry hands and find that hand wash can be drying and I need lashings of hand cream after using them. This Janjira one was not like that at all, it was quite a thick gel on consistency and was easy to massage in to your hands, you could smell the ginger straight away & it smelt so good. It was easy to rinse and left my hands feeling clean, soft and most importantly to me was they were not dry. I could still smell the ginger scent & a little hint of lime too, this is a luxurious treat your your hands and I very much enjoyed using it & I'm tempted to buy the full size, which actually comes in a bottle with a pump which is very handy and will be easier to use.
Elemis Treat Your Feet Foot Cream £6.00 for 20ml
This foot cream has been used a lot during the heat wave, I love to wear sandals and so I like my feet to be Summer ready. This was a nice treat to apply at night on my feet and by morning my feet were soft, no dry skin and ready for my Summer shoes. If you don't like the feeling of a greasy cream on your feet then you should give this Elemis one a go as it sinks in to your feet quickly and won't leave them feeling slippy/greasy. Its perfect for keeping your feet looking their best in your Summer Shoes.
I'm so happy that I received this colour in my box as it is a pretty subtle pistachio green colour. It is easy to wear and looks pretty under a glitter top coat too. Two coats will give you an opaque finish but you have to wait for each coat to fully dry otherwise it looks a little streaky. I have worn this quite a bit since getting it & I'm tempted to wear it on my upcoming holiday as its not to bright and will go with everything.
Benefit Its Potent Eye Cream £25.50 for 14.2g
I have used this all up & loved it. It was hydrating and was a great base for my under eye concealer. It was light enough for a day cream but still gave me the hydration I needed. I found that my concealer didn't sink in to my fine lines as much because this cream helped smooth them out. I wouldn't say it helped reduce dark circles but I think mine are from a considerable lack of sleep. I was very happy with this pot & would love to but the full size. I might have to ask for the skincare gift set for my birthday.
Let me know if you snapped up this box & what your top 5 products were?

The Body Shop Expert Brush Collection
I was lucky enough to win this Expert Brush Collection on the lovely Carrie's blog. I have tried a couple of brushes from The Body Shop in the past and been impressed by the quality of them, no shedding, they wash nicely and they are very soft. This set of brushes are very soft too and I'm so happy that there is a Foundation Brush in there as my beloved Real Techniques Stippling Brush broke a few weeks ago & I have been struggling to find a brush that applies foundation as well. So I'm going to put this brush to the test & hope it gives me a flawless look, I like to really buff my foundation in.
This Expert Brush Collection has 5 brushes & they are Concealer, Eyeshadow, Foundation , Blusher and Face & Body Brush. So they have everything covered (apart from a brow/eyeliner brush). These are all brushes I will use in my routines and think the Foundation & Blusher Brush will be getting a lot of use.
Let me know if you have used any makeup brushes from The Body Shop & if so what would you recommend.

DHC Premium Lipsticks
Cult Japanese brand DHC are very well known for their skincare and I love their Cleansing Oil and Eye Masks but they also have a makeup line which includes Lipsticks, Eyeliners, Blushers and a few other products. They have recently released a line of Premium Lipsticks and these come in 6 easy to wear shades. I have been testing 3 of the colours.
The first thing you notice is the packaging, they have a very high end look and feel to them, the casing is a stunning mix of gold and silver with etched flower detailing. They look very pretty and feel luxurious. The only downside to the packaging is the fact they don't have the product names on, the boxes have only the number and the lipstick themselves have neither.
The three shades I have are all quite muted and perfect as everyday options. These lipsticks are almost an extension of DHC's skincare line and brand ethos in that they have an underline skincare benefit too as These lipsticks 'fight the signs of ageing in two ways, firstly by using Pure Colour Technology which contains micronized pigment to deflect light, creating a plump and 3D lip effect and secondly by reducing the appearance of vertical lines with ingredients such as macadamia oil, olive oil and rice bran oil to moisturise, collagen and sodium hyaluronic to lock in moisture and vitamin A and geranium to protect and condition'.
All three of the ones I have are rich in colour and the formula is soft, hydrating and it glides on the lips effortlessly. They have a satin finish, no shimmer (which is good) they leave your lips looking fresh, plumo and with a pop of colour. The three colours I have are,
OE112 Bold Permission* – This is a glossy peach toned nude, this makes my lips look healthy and like I have lipstick on but nothing too bold. Its a nice nude with a hint of peach, its a great colour for warming up your complexion
RS107 Rich Raspberry* – This is the brightest of the three colours I have and its a stunning raspberry pink – true to it's name. This looks so pretty on the lips and I think its the ideal Summer shade. Its just such a bright, fresh looking colour.
BE111 Rose Gold* – This is more of a true nude although it leans more to a brown on my lips, this is such an easy colour to wear. Its most definitely a My Lips But Better colours. It makes my lips look plump, smooth and very healthy. I love having this colour in my handbag as I can apply it on the go, no mirror needed.
If you like your lipstick to be hydrating, easy to apply and fresh looking then these DHC Premium Lipsticks are for you. I find that they last a good amount of time on me, a good couple of hours. If you are eating and drinking they will wear off as they're a satin finish and quite buttery on the lips but topping them up is so easy too! I have had these on rotation since I got them and have really enjoyed wearing them.
As I said the packaging is beautiful and they look a lot more expensive than they are.
These are really easy to get your hands on, because Escentual have started stocking DHC skincare and makeup so thats great news. You can also find them at DHC Online.
DHC Premium Lipstick – 2.4g for £13.00 – currently in the sale for £10.40

Barry M Summer Nails
I love Barry M nail polishes, they are affordable & quite often on offer, the colour selection is huge and they are always bringing out limited edition collections. I have a few shades and finishes in my collection and thought I would share with you my top 5 BarryM Polishes for Summer. Like most people I reach for bright shades in the Summer & love wearing bright colours on my toes, Summer is the perfect excuse to wear NEON polish and also rock the brightest oranges.
Let me know what your favourite colour to wear in the Summer is.
Pink Iridescent 264 – This is a glitter top coat with pink, silver and gold flecks in a light pink polish. So pretty on top of almost any shade. The glitter flecks catch the light & look so pretty. I like it because the glitter isn't chunky and its easy to remove.
Block Orange 301 – This is a bold bright orange, it looks gorgeous on your toes especially if you have a tan. This is opaque & vibrant in two coats.
Pomegranate 235 This is a Gelly Hi Shine Formula and these leave your nails looking glossy. The colour is a gorgeous vibrant deep berry pink. I love this on my nails and it lasts a really long time. I have to admit even thought this is a Hi Shine finish I like to use a glossy top coat just to prolong my manicure but you can skip this step and your nails will have a good shine to them. I do find this Hi Shine formula only needs 2 coats and you could get away with one coat if you were in a rush.
Guava 334 – I couldn't wait to get my hands on this shade when it came out. Its my most worn BarryM nail polish & it just reminds me of swimming pools & being on holiday. The colour is a pretty turquoise blue (more than green). Its bright and looks so nice on fingers & toes. This is another Hi Shine formula & I find these dry pretty quickly on my nails & I'm terrible at messing up my manicure because I'm always in a hurry but this formula only takes a couple of minutes to dry.
Passion Fruit 350 – This is just the perfect holiday coral red colour. It looks bright and fresh on your nails. This is another Hi Shine finish and again the formula is quite thick but easy to apply and you could get away with one coat but I like to apply two just for that pop of vibrant colour. I love this shade & think it makes your nails look so pretty and summery.
Barry M Nail Polish is available from Superdrug and www.barrym.com
Let me know what your favourite Barry M Summer nail polishes are.

The Rediscovered SIX
I think we are all guilty of having too many things such as makeup, clothes or even books that often we forget what we have. Sometimes things that we once loved get overlooked or even worse things we bought get lost amongst the clutter and never used. Well my habit is makeup & skincare, I was having a well overdue clear out & I discovered quite a few products that I'd forgot I had. Some well loved products and a couple that I've only used a few times and that needed to be re discovered & shown some love, so I have put them in to my everyday makeup drawer and I have promised to reach for them as often as I can.
Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc in Starlet Mosaic – This is the most gorgeous baked highlighter if you swirl your brush through all the colours it gives you a pretty peachy glow. I have even used it a couple of times as eyeshadow and the colours are pigmented and brighten the eyes. All 4 shades are really pretty & have a frosted finish. I've only used this a handful of times and can't wait to use a lot more.
Physicians Formula Happy Boost Blush in Rose – How pretty is this blush in the pan, all those hearts just make me smile each time I use it. I reached for this blush so much when I first received it in a USA beauty swap but after I moved I totally forgot about it. This blush is a pretty soft pink and is very flattering on my pale skin tone. Some of the hearts are slightly different in colour but when swirled all together they make a soft almost baby pink shade.
Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Lipstick in Hot 401* – I have a few of these lipsticks which I wear all the time and I LOVE them. This one however was lost amongst my nail polish for some reason and I'd totally forgotten about it. This was my favourite colour out of the 4 shades I have and it is a very pretty deep berry shade, it is so long wearing and applies very smoothly on the lips. It is marketed as a CC Lipstick as it has the moisturising qualities of a lip balm and the pigmentation of a lipstick, this formula looks quite glossy on the lips. Can I just say how luxurious the packaging is too, it has a magnetic close and I love the deep red bullet too.
NARS Eyeliner in Parrot Cay – I'm not going to admit how long I have had this eyeliner but I love it too much to throw away & the colour is too nice. This was the first NARS product I ever bought, this and another eyeliner in a bright blue shade. Parrot is a soft almost mint green shade. Its really brightens the eyes & looks really pretty in the summer. I'm so happy to rediscover it.
Avon Magix Cashmere Finish Foundation in Creamy Natural – I am so happy to have this back in my everyday stash as it is the perfect shade for me right now, as I have am ever so slight tan and this matches me perfectly. This Avon foundation gives my skin the most velvet finish or as the name states – cashmere. It looks soft and flawless but not at all heavy . Its easy to blend and I like that it isn't a runny consistency I would say its quite light and has a mousse / whipped texture. It wears well on me but I do have to powder it down so it lasts all day.
Mac Wonder Woman Mineralize Skinfinish in Golden Lariat – This product wasn't lost in my collection as such, It was just too pretty to use but I've decided that it needs to see some love & a lot more use. Its far too nice to be pushed to the side. Its MASSIVE you get 20g of product so I'm not going to use it up anytime and that means I can use it without worrying that its going to run out. This MSF has 3 colours a golden highlight, a bronzer and a peachy blush. And it gives you the prettiest glow. I'm going to have a lot of fun trying this out & finding ways of incorporating into my makeup routine.
Let me know what makeup you have rediscovered recently. Its crazy what gems we have hiding in our stash.

Summer Friendly Pink Lips
I have to admit when it comes to wearing lip products I tend to stick with a lip balm but I am trying my best to use the few lip glosses & lipsticks I have in my stash a lot more. I have some really lovely ones & its a shame they get over looked so I have done a little reshuffle with my makeup & I've been shopping my stash and this selection of pink lip products hasbeen getting a lot more use this past month.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Cherish – I've had this for a couple of years & out of the 5 this is the one I've worn the most. Its a very pretty bright bubblegum pink. Its quite vibrant on the lips & feels glossy but not tacky. I love that this is a twist up crayon & its so easy to apply on the go. The colour is quite long wearing and I do like the minty scent of these too. I have a few of these balm stains but this is by far my favourite colour, it just brightens up my face & makes me look awake.
Collection Cream Puff in Cotton Candy- I just spoke about this in my June Favourites post & I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this looked on me & how soft and moisturising it was on my lips. The colour is a deep pink which dries to a velvet matte finish. It smells of candy floss & its my first matte lip product & I love it so much that I want all the the other shades.
Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in First Date* - This is the sweetest soft pink shade and it makes me look really healthy and adds a really nice pop of colour to my lips. I was impressed by the pigmentation and it really translates on to your lips. It looks like there is shimmer when in the tube but that didn't translate to the lips. Its a shade that makes your complexion look bright and having quite a dull complexion I need all the radiance boosting I can get. Its the perfect pink gloss for summer, the texture is creamy & glossy but not tacky on the lips. Just a lovely simple pink gloss.
Avon Plump Pout – This is one of those minty tingling plumping glosses which is OK but not my favourite, I find it does plump a little but not that anyone else would notice. The colour is really pretty though & on my lips it looks quite peachy pink. Its quite a thick consistency & I like that because if I can still feel it on my lips I know that I don't need to re apply. I like the packaging, its slim, sleek and takes up no room at all in my makeup bag. The wand applicator is a little brush which makes applying this gloss very easy and mess free and you get the most glossy finish on the lips, very pretty.
Wet n Wild Lip Shimmer - This is one of my all time favourite lip balms as it packs a punch when it comes to colour pay off they are so opaque on the lips. It was such a bargain too at less than $2, the colour is more of a red toned pink and it gives your lips a great pop of colour. It feels moisturising and has a glossy sheen also the colour wears off evenly although its not hugely long lasting. I wish I'd bought more of these when I had the chance. Also these are called lip shimmers but this one has no shimmer at all on the lips.
Let me know what your favourite pink lip gloss / lip crayons are & have you used any of the ones I have mentioned?

A Few June 2014 Favourites
June was a quick month, but it was a lovely sunny one. I love rounding up my most used & loved products from the month and June's picks are all new mentions which have all grown to be firm favourites.
Rimmel Glam Eyes in Brixton Brown – I love this small palette, you get 5 really wearable shades. They're all pigmented and very easy to work with, I do like to wear a primer under them just so they don't crease. I don't normally wear a smoky eye & I still need a little more practise but I'm loving using this to experiment. It has a handy step by step guide on the back which I follow (smoky eye for dummies). I do really love the red toned copper colour in the centre the most, its gorgeous to wear it alone all over the lid.
Crazy Rumors Black Cherry Lip Balm* OMG this smells so good, not the artificially sweet but actually of cherries all fruity and so good. Not only does it smell incredible but it is very hydrating and leaves my lips feeling soft and I don't have to reapply it as much as I'd like to (as it keeps my lips hydrated for hours). These Crazy Rumor lip balms come in so many flavours all of which sound wonderful & obviously I need them ALL!
Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream – I don't know why it's taken me so long to jump on this band wagon! I finally bought one & went for the Cotton Candy shade which is a very pretty sweet bubblegum pink. Its applies nice and creamy on the lips & feels moisturising & it dries to a velvet matte finish. Despite this being a matte finish it doesn't feel drying at all & wears off the lips evenly after a few hours. Its pretty, cheap & it smells so good! Thats 3 reasons you should buy it, if you haven't already.
Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base – I bought this a couple of months ago & I like to wear it either under my foundation to perk my skin up or I mix it in with my foundation for an extra reflective boost. This gives me a healthy glow without being shimmery, it evens out my skin tone and hides imperfections. I have the shade Champagne 02 & its very good at dulling the redness in my skin. I find it very lightweight & doesn't feel greasy on the skin at all, it just gives you a lovely fresh healthy finish. It makes a really nice base to apply your foundation too & just keeps your complexion looking fresh & bright.
Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist* – It was my husband that first introduced me to Jurlique about 6 years ago after he purchased some of their hand creams for me as a gift from SPACE NK & I have grown to love the brand ever since, This Rosewater face mist has been a Summer saviour. Its so refreshing in the heat, I have been keeping it in the fridge for an extra cooling treat. Not only is this refreshing but its very hydrating, calming and is rich in antioxidants too. So its very much a skin treat. I love using it after cleansing but also throughout the day as a refreshing skin boost.
Clarins Energizer Emulsion – Since I sold my car a few months ago I have been doing 100% more walking & my legs are often so achy at night, I have been applying this lotion when they feel tired & this soothes them. It contains Camomile, Basil, Sage and Cypress – so calming, soothing & uplifting for your tired body. It feels cooling on the skin when you apply it & by morning my legs are ready for the day. I've read that this also great for tired feet, so will be applying it to my feet too.
Let me know if you have been using any of my June Favourites & let me know what you have been loving too.

L'Oreal Colour Riche L'Ombre Pure Mono Eyeshadows
I have been swatching these L'Oreal Colour Riche L'Ombre Pure Eyeshadows every time I go into Superdrug and although I have plenty of similar colours in my collection these were just too gorgeous not to have. I did limit myself to 2 colours, I think there are 20 in total and I could have bought so many more. The two I bought are typical of the colours I gravitate towards, I like to play it safe when it comes to eyeshadows and I try to buy colours that I will reach for often so that means I have a drawer full of very similar neutral colours (I'm an addict I will admit it).
So I bought 201 Cafe Saint Germain and 204 Golden Nude, both are gorgeous. They have a butter soft texture to them and feel almost wet to the touch. The colour payoff is beautiful and vivid, you can really build these up to an intense colour. These are essentially like a pressed pigment and they apply an intense wash of colour without having to pack on the shadow, there is no fall out with these and look beautiful worn alone all over the lid. Thats how I like to wear them, effortless to apply and they look stunning.
These both have a metallic like finish and are gel infused which means they feel very buttery and apply so smooth. You can apply these with a brush or just as easily with your finger and they blend out like a dream. If you have tried the L'Oreal Infallible shadows these are very similar to those, but these don't have that crumbly texture these are so smooth.
The black and gold packaging looks luxurious and pretty it also feels sleek and they're quite compact which is always good for travel. They feel quite sturdy and like they will last you well. I hate flimsy packaging that falls apart after a few uses.
201 Cafe Saint Germain // 204 Golden Nude
204 Golden Nude // 201 Cafe Saint Germain £5.49 each
Golden Nude is exactly that – a really lovely golden colour the finish is like velvet and is the perfect summer shade. I have been wearing this all over the lid with a touch of brown eyeliner. It stays vibrant all day long. This colour reminds me of Amber Lights from Mac.
Cafe Saint Germain – this is the perfect pinky taupe colour and some lights it looks rose gold its just beautiful. Again like the other colour it is pigmented and has that same shimmery finish – not glittery but these have an almost frost like finish to them. I can't get enough of this colour and think its been my eyeshadow of choice for a few weeks.
These L'Oreal Colour Riche L'Ombre Pure Eyeshadows come in a range of finishes and there is something for everyone Matte, Nude, Smoky, Lumiere and Chameleon. If you haven't already you need to swatch these in store, you won't be disappointed. Let me know if you have bought any of these & if so what colours you love.

Barbara Daly Long Wear Eye Shadows
I first read about these Barbara Daly Long Wear Eyeshadows on Describe The Sky & being a cream shadow addict I had to pop to Tesco to get a couple. I bought the colours Shimmer Sand & Shell, both very safe neutral colours but they're the sort of shades I will get the most wear from. These were a bargain at £3 each and I have been thrilled with the quality and colour pay off.
I own quite a few cream eyeshadow sticks from brands like Rimmel, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier and ELF these Barbara Daly ones are on a par with my Bobbi Brown one in terms of quality and how long they last. They're fantastic quality at a fraction of the cost. I wear both colours I bought alone all over the lid. I apply the product directly to my eyelid and either blend out with my finger or a fluffy blending brush, either method works well. These blend very easily and after a couple of minutes they have dried enough that you won't be able to blend them & they stay in place for HOURS! Much longer than my Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks
Shell // Shimmer Sand (facing away from the light)
Shell // Shimmer Sand (facing the light)
Shimmer Sand – This is a very pretty peach/ nude tone with a hint of bronze and a metallic / frosty finish. This really brightens up the eye & helps you look wide awake and fresh. This is so pretty worn all over the lid and the pigmentation is intense & lasts all day long. You can put a primer on before hand if you have oily lids or if you just want to make extra sure its not going to budge. These have a lovely rich creamy texture that as I said is very easy to blend. Its not overly shimmery so can still be worn during the day, I would day its more metallic than shimmery – its not glittery at all. I'm seriously impressed with these for £3.
Shell – This is a light pink with a gorgeous yellow toned champagne colour which again is pretty all over the lid or as an inner corner highlight, this colour really adds brightness to the eye & opens it up. These long wear shadow sticks are incredible quality and the packaging is sleek and looks a lot more expensive than £3. They do start to crease a little on me after about 5 hours of wear but I do have quite crinkly eyelids & I just blend it out with my finger & that does the trick.
If you have access to a larger Tesco that sells Barbara Daly then get yourself down there & grab a couple of these, you won't be disappointed. I'm heading back to get the darker black shade as I think that will be so good for an easy smokey eye.

P.S Love Makeup in Primark
The big inner city Primark in Liverpool has quite a large selection of makeup from the brand P.S Love and so I thought I would buy a few products and see how they perform. The products I bought ranged in price from £1 to £2.50, so very reasonable in price. I haven't heard or read much about this line so I bought a selection of products & colours.
P.S Matte Long Last Lipstick £1.50 is really pretty & I would say its a pinky nude colour. It applies nicely to the lips & doesn't feel too dry, It wears quite a long time, but it does wear off evenly after about 2-3 hours & I don't mind having to reapply. Im sure if unlike me you don't have the terrible habit of biting your lips this will last considerably longer on you. It does feel a little dry on my lips but I have been told that most matte formulas are a little drying, but it's nothing that would stop me wearing it. This is the first matte lip product I have tried and I do like it, Im going to pop back in to Primark and get a few more shades. I'm very impressed with the colour & how nice this looks on my lips, it is an easy shade to wear & a perfect daytime colour. I also love the packaging, it looks much more expensive than it was. Also you can see the shade at the bottom & that is very true to the colour it swatches.
P.S Love Lip Gloss Crayon £1.50 – I'm a chubby lip crayon addict & I thought this nude shade would be a safe bet. Again it's really nicely packaged and is a twist up so no sharpening needed. I would say its a caramel nude, its quite a glossy finish and applied nicely & evenly to my lips. The colour pay off is OK and it looks nice & natural on the lips. I have been wearing this over some lipsticks too and that works well. On its own its nice for adding a little colour to the lips, I wouldn't say this lasts a great amount of time but these lip crayons are really easy & effortless to reapply. I would be interested to see if there are other shades & how pigmented they are. This smells really nice too and not minty like a lot of the other brands. This has been in my handbag for the past week & I've been really enjoying wearing it.
P.S Love Eyeliner & Pencil Sharpener 2 Pack £1.oo – I couldn't resist these colours & have been loving experimenting with brighter colourful eyeliner. You get 2 eyeliners & a clear plastic pencil sharpener in a pack for £1, thats a complete bargain. The two colours in this pack are a teal blue & a baby blue, so very pretty. These are creamy and apply so easily, no pulling at all they just glide on & add a pop of colour. They are very pigmented and that vibrant colour lasts all day. I'm very impressed with these and think they're great value for money. Perfect if you don't want to spend a fortune on a bright colour you might not reach for that often.
P.S Love Felt Eyeliner £1.50 – I Bought this in Black as I love to wear liquid liner & these felt pen style ones are my go to option. However this was the one product that brought my haul back down to earth as I found it to be watery & hard to apply. The pigmentation was poor and it sunk in to all the lines on my eyelid. I would give this a miss, even for £1.50 save your money.
P.S Love 8 Shade Day Palette £2.50 – This is a really well packaged palette with a big mirror inside, and eight eyeshadows of which 2 are matte and the rest are variations of shimmer / metallic. These are a little hit & miss some of the colours are really pretty but have a lot of fall out whilst other are very chalky and have no colour pay off. As a rule I would say the top row with the slightly more shimmery colours are better quality and wear OK.
If you have time to work with these, wear a primer and build up the colour you can achieve some pretty looks & for £2.50 this very well packaged palette is great for makeup newbies or people like me that are unable to walk past a palette that contains neutral colours.
There is another version of this palette with 8 Night Shades, which I've heard is even better and I am tempted to pop back to get that & see how it compares.
Swatches of the bottom row – only one swipe & with no primer
Swatches of the top row – one swipe & with no primer.
P.S Love Nail Polish £1.00 – These have a real Butter London feel to the bottles & my word this pink shade is vibrant. It is a true hot pink neon & dries to a semi matte finish, two coats will give you an opaque colour. I am so impressed with the consistency of this polish & I had it on my nails for 3 days without chipping, I took it off to apply a different colour but It looked great & was very bright. The only downside to this polish is the smell, its very very strong, not once its on your nails but whilst you're applying it. So if you get a headache from the smell of nail varnish this is a very very strong one.
I was very impressed with all but one of the products I bought, I thought all the products had pretty packaging and it felt and looked more expensive than it was.
The selection in Primark is quite good & if you can get to one that is selling the makeup then pick up a few products – but not the Felt Pen Eyeliner. None of the products have colour names which is a pain, but thats quite common with more budget brands.
Let me know if you have tried anything from the Primark P.S Love makeup range & if there is anything you would recommend I try.← Older Entries

TRIBUTES have been paid to one of the men who helped pull a North-East football club back from the brink of extinction.
Colin Henderson, the former chairman of Middlesbrough Football Club, died at the weekend, aged 75.
Mr Henderson played a pivotal role in securing the future of the club when it was minutes away from liquidation in 1986, by signing the forms that guaranteed its survival.
The present chairman of the Championship club, Steve Gibson, said: "During that period in the mid-1980s, I have no doubt Middlesbrough Football Club would not have survived without Colin Henderson.
"It was teamwork and everybody had to do their bit, but Colin went through barriers I thought couldn't be overcome.
"I liked him and respected him immensely. It's a sad day for all at Middlesbrough Football Club.
"He is a big, big part of our history. Colin was tenacious, he was a very intelligent man and worked tirelessly to find solutions to problems. He was a strong man, physically and mentally.
"They say 'cometh the hour, cometh the man' and Colin Henderson was exactly what Middlesbrough Football Club needed at that time."
Before taking over as club chairman in 1986, Mr Henderson had already forged a successful 30-year career at ICI, where he was senior commercial manager at Wilton.
Henry Moszkowicz and Reg Corbridge worked alongside Mr Henderson and Mr Gibson to raise the funds needed to reassure the Football League that the club could cover its debts.
Another key member of consortium, Graham Fordy, described Mr Henderson as a big character.
"Colin was a big part of the rebirth of Middlesbrough Football Club in 1986," he said. "Although Steve Gibson brought the group together, it was the money that Colin secured from ICI that stopped the club being liquidated. When it looked like the deal was all going to go pear-shaped, the £1.9m bond from ICI helped save the club.
"Like the rest of the consortium, Colin was a Middlesbrough fan and he used his influence with his employers to secure the funding for his beloved club. He was a big character and should be remembered for what he did for the club."
Boro manager Tony Mowbray said: "I only have fond memories of Colin Henderson because we were at the club together in a very successful period of its history and he was the figurehead of the consortium that rescued the club."
Mr Henderson's public association with the club ended on April 30, 1993, when the fourman board of he, Mr Gibson, Mr Fordy and Mr Corbidge found itself without a chairman when Mr Henderson resigned from the role after months of internal wrangling.
He remained on the board until Mr Gibson took over the following season and it is believed he never returned to watch the club that he loved.
However, last May, any past differences were put aside as Mr Henderson, Mr Gibson and Keith Lamb were among the guests at a fundraising night at Yarm's Tall Trees for former player, Thornaby-born Gary Parkinson, who suffers from locked-in syndrome.
His funeral takes place next Wednesday, at St Hilda's Church, Whitby.

Heroic Malkorok Dead, Incite 9/14H
Even with dealing with both planned and unplanned absences throughout Malk's progression, two and a half nights was all it took to put this one in the bag. Upon hearing the news (and learning we didn't get a proper screenshot), I hopped on to get double-D'ed by Dixee and Drak (they had to get me drunk first). Special thanks to those who filled in for us. Congrats, guys!
Heroic General Nazgrim Dead, Incite 8/14H
Not content with ending our raid week with a 0.5% wipe, our raiders banded together for a quick additional raid to close the chapter on General Nazgrim on our second pull of the night. Even though Bortaa will say he didn't die, don't you fucking believe it for one second. Shoutouts to Cursedbonez for tanking on his monk, and Bishop and Gonzoo for joining the guild for official progression credit. Congratulations, guys!
Heroic Dark Shaman Dead, Incite 7/14H
After a bunch of wipes, the kill attempt was actually pretty damned clean. Hailsatan bonus-rolled a trinket, and RNG once again shit on our caster's faces, just how Covalent likes it. Congratulations, guys! We ended the night with two near kills on Nazgrim, so look for that kill next week.

Windows 7 Security Issues - Malware / Virus Found
Hi everyone,
I am working with a client who is using Windows 7 with AVG free edition turned on.
Microsoft Office 2007 is being run with POP3 for emails to download from a local email hosting service. (nisa.net)
This has been set up recently (within the past week)
Recently the computer has received malware and a Trojan virus. We're not sure if it came from Flash or if it's something to do with email?
Hoping to not have to reformat as a lot of time was put in to getting the new email settings set up. Do you have any pointers for fixing this?
Thanks,"To make an apple pie from scratch,

I sit down with Neil Brand, Britain's foremost silent film accompanist, for a masterclass in movie music.
Related Content

Join the discussion...
Can someone tell me which film the image used as a cover picture comes from?
Ah, it's from the 1917 Cleopatra. I'm going to have to track that one down...
I once went to a performance of Paul Merton's Silent clowns, for which Neil Brand was the accompanist, and he's a unique talent. The second half of the show was a screening of 'Seven Chances' and even though i'd seen it several times before, seeing it on the big screen with an audience and Brand playing live, enhanced the film in a way that can't be replicated with a recording. As i understand it, he improvises his compositions, so each performance is different and audiences have new experience each time.
Mark, you've said that The Dodge Brothers have play accompaniment to silent films like Beggars of Life. My question to you, did you play from a written score or was it improvised?
Brilliant post Mark!
That was fun to watch. However I'm disappointed that the Good Dr didn't request a horror tune!
I have nothing against silent movies, but unfortunately generic piano accompaniments tend to put me asleep after 10 minutes. The best silent movie soundtrack is Richard Einhorn's specially composed oratorio "Voices of Light" for Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc.
That western bit was nice, although when you asked him to represent happiness on screen i thought you were going to barge him aside and start playing the Exorcist theme.
Perhaps I missed this. But did the musician(s) see the film prior to transmission to get the feel of what was to be "improvised" and/or to mark out the relevant pages to go to at the relevant points in the film. Also, is there anything about other potential preparation such as rehearsal etc?
Just wondering.
Great stuff - I'm always in awe of musicians who just play something they've made up in their heads, so talented.
Is it just me or are the vintage "sexy pix" are a bit scary???
Meh - piano in silent movies irks me: I always feel the poor piano is made to over-work expressing far more than it can cope with; it needs real people to interact with around it or by itself imo. Perhaps back in the day it worked.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Xm7s9eGxU
This is great, and I look forward to your radio doc. Anything to promote the silents, an incredible era of film making that needs to be appreciated and preserved. The artistry of the accompanist is just one facet of the whole package. There was a time when lazy promoters of silents would just smear the generic "Hearts and Flowers" and the like over scenes (wonder if that was in Neil's book). Now we have albums released by unclassifiable guitar genius Bill Frisell, and bands like the Beau Hunks of music for silents (Keaton and Laurel & Hardy films respectively). If you ever release your Dodge Bros / Neil Brand Ghost That Never Returns soundtrack, I'd snap that up, I found it more interesting than the movie (it kinda peaked with the classic editing in the prison riot scene).
I don't know if anyone's had this idea already, but why not pitch a Silent Film Proms evening to the BBC. They've done film soundtrack Proms, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch. The program could consist of a few shorts and a feature, or excerpts from features, and you could vary the groups providing the music, full orchestra, solo pianist, possibly a quartet or skiffle band. They could take advantage of widescreen and push the academy ratio silent to the side and show musical performers in the remaining real estate (unless they go all Abel Gance on it). This might be the right format to convey the experience of watching with live accompaniment to a mass audience (perhaps a lightning in a bottle situation, but its the only way I can think of to get across a fraction of the vibe).
I enjoyed that. Thank you both.
Bizarrely, these days in the age of 3D Ultra-HD digital multichannel audio productions the book could be made easy to use by the tool of random access pages on a tablet. Maybe there's a market for the same tool but in a digital form for modern day accompanyists ... ?
Great fun to watch - and listen to - on a Saturday morning. It was my traditional time for the cinema as a child, though I'm not old enough for the silent era!
My grandfather (in-law) was a silent film projectionist around the village halls of the country. When he talked to us of his experiences he mentioned pieces of music that were written and ready for a piano player to use to accompany the film, so I assume a number of them had this book.
To, partly, answer a question from P J Hughes, I don't think they always had a rehearsal so it depended very much on how skillful the pianist was. Some pianists had their own favourite pieces of music by famous composers and which they knew well, and they would slot these in to the appropriate scene.
Sadly, Grandad is no longer with us but he would have loved hearing Neil Brand playing from the book.
One of my favourite blogs you've posted, a brilliant celebration of glorious music
I remember being somewhat disappointed after meeting Neil Brand after a screening of, IIRC, Griffith's 'Broken Blossoms' and discovering that he'd pulled out some stock tunes and improvised the rest of the score. I was disappointed because almost every silent film had an accompanying score, many of which are extant today.
I heartily recommend that Silent Movie buffs make the trip to Pordenone in Italy for the annual silent film festival, where each screening is accompanied by (where possible) the original score, both on piano and with orchestra.
This is just terrific. You've made my night Mark and thank goodness that people like Neil are around.
Great post.
This reminded me how good the showing of The Ghost That Never Returns was at the New Forest Film Festival in 2011. Any plans to revive the festival? (please...)
Oh yeah just throw in a reversed shot there.
Are you specifically trying to give me nightmares?
Just a slight corrective to what Ewanmax says. While it's perfectly fair to have a preference for hearing the original scores for silent films - it's not mine, but different strokes, etc - it's not true that this is what happens at the Pordenone festival. I attend every year and typically about 80% of the screenings are accompanied by new improvisations, by one of a resident team of pianists (including Neil). The other screenings are largely accompanied by newly composed scores for larger ensembles or orchestra. I can only recall original scores being recreated on a handful of occasions.
Not really a fan of silent movies but if I could play the piano I would find a copy of that book as soon as possible.
I love my silent movies. From Caligari to Nosferatu, Orlac to Waxworks, Sunrise to City Girl, but I can honestly say the music never stays with me. Maybe it does its job in a subliminal way, but, for me, a silent movie soundtrack may as well not be there. Silents are all about the image and always will be. In fact, in a strange turn of irony, film music in the talking age is a much more powerful tool than its silent predecessor ever was. Maybe I would change my mind after experiencing live accompaniment in a cinema, but I'm sure that would be for no other reason than the fact I'm simply hearing live music.

10 Animated Classic Movies
Chicken Run
Rated: G
Year: 2000
Cast: Voices of Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha, Miranda Richardson
A chain gang of chickens dreams of flying the coop -- while the farmer's wife hatches an evil plan to turn the egg-layers into chicken pies. Gibson makes a heck of a rooster in the henhouse, but Ginger is the plucky heroine who leads her sisters to freedom.
What Parents Like: Puns galore. In the midst of all the wing-flapping, there's a whole lot of squawking going on. As a field mouse observes of the chickens' numerous attempts to fly off the farm: "It's raining hen."
What Kids Like: As in their Wallace and Gromit movies, directors Nick Park and Peter Lord use latex models instead of sketched characters. That's right, rubber chickens!

In the second part of the Liberty Ballers "Stay or Go" series, we (unconventionally) break down today's candidate, Dorell Wright.
Greg Monroe and Will Bynum join forces and put a hurting on the Sixers and the ever-fading tenure of Doug Collins as head coach.
The Pistons took care of the Sixers on their final home game of the season. Greg Monroe is good.
With the season winding down, the Sixers went through the motions and suffered and whooping at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. Fun for the whole family.
The Sixers played the Cavs tonight. The majority of you didn't watch but fortunately for you, Charlie from "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" tuned in. His thoughts...
I've only been watching professional basketball for about 30 years, so I can't speak about the whole history of basketball. But Los Angeles Laker Andrew Bynum's flagrant, intentional foul on Dallas...
From time to time, I like to share my innermost thoughts with my favorite readers. Since they're unavailable, I'll share with you guys my experience of the Bucks 94-92 win over the Sixers.
Andrew Bynum's starting his road to recovery. Should we be excited? Who knows?
In the wake of Andrew Bynum's knee-pocalypse, several fans are comparing Bynum to another center the 76ers required via trade, Jeff Ruland. However, closer inspection reveals the two are not...
In the spirit of the holiday, the writers at Liberty Ballers share what they're thankful for when it comes to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Grevy's zebra has much narrower stripes that the other two zebras species, and it can live on grasses which are too tough for cattle to eat or digest. Originally from Northern Kenya and Ethiopia, you will discover a whole herd of Grevy's zebra at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
Grevy's zebras are successfully bred at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo as part of a European Endangered Species Programme, with 26 foals born over the years.
The Grevy's zebra is classified as 'Endangered' on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the past - particularly in the 1970s and 80s - the Grevy's zebra suffered declining numbers due to commercial hunting for their skins and have continued to be affected by habitat loss.

The decision is moving in hard on Donna Shalala, pushing the University of Miamis president into a corner. It could land on her desk as soon as this weekend. She will continue to hear input from advisors and lawyers, but dont mistake this for democracy: Hers will be the only vote that counts.
The matter involves UMs football program, where everything is about wins and losses except this one decision that will affect the team so profoundly. See, Shalalas choice is no-win all the way.
It could be anger and disappointment that greets her choice, or it could be the sense that she has done what was shortsighted and popular but not what was smart and right. There will be no broad agreement, only irresolvable debate.
The issue is whether to allow the Hurricanes into postseason play, where the spoils could be a first-ever spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game with a berth in the Jan. 1 Orange Bowl at stake. Or whether UM should instead self-impose a postseason/bowl ban for a second consecutive year to further mitigate against looming NCAA sanctions.
The decision is near because the Canes, with a 5-4 record, are one victory from becoming bowl eligible, and that win could come this Saturday at Virginia. A year ago, the university revealed its self-imposed ban one day after its sixth win, so a repeat of that timing could mean an announcement as soon as this Sunday.
I dont know what Shalala will do. She might not even have decided.
I do know what she should do:
She should make the hard choice, not the popular one.
She should make the decision that says Miami getting past this NCAA mess as quickly as possible is the driving imperative that outweighs any reward, no matter how well-earned, for the 2012 team.
Part of solution
This is bitter medicine. It is difficult to swallow. And it is hard to imagine that anything that causes pain can be a part of the cure. But another voluntary postseason ban by Miami would be just that part of moving past this. Part of the cure.
I feel badly for coach Al Golden.
Winning the ACC Coastal Division and getting into the conference title game for the first time has been the carrot dangled before his team all season. Now, as that goal is so tantalizingly close, he knows his administration ponders whether to snatch away that very prize for which his team has worked so hard.
You know he wants the chance to play for that ACC crown.
But he cant say it aloud.
Im sure its an issue. But its not my issue, Golden said just Wednesday. That conversation is between our president, our legal counsel and athletic director. Im charged with getting my team ready this week. We got our focus squarely on Virginia. Were trying to prevent anything external from interfering. We havent made any excuses.
Golden refers a lot to the blinders against external distractions, and why wouldnt he? They are all around him. He inherited them. He got blindsided by the allegations that renegade booster Nevin Shapiro (now doing hard time for a Ponzi scheme) spent years before his arrival breaking rules and casting in doubt UMs control of its own program and players.
Penalties looming
The resulting, laborious NCAA investigation is expected to conclude and present its findings officially its Notice of Allegations by later this month or early December.
UM would then have 90 days to respond, followed by the handing down of sanctions likely by next summer.
Miamis best response, beyond refuting allegations where possible, would be to demonstrate steps taken to assure no repeat of a Nevin Shapiro could ever happen again, and to emphasize self-imposed penalties upon which the NCAA could not help but look favorably.
Last years bowl ban was a start, but that was a 6-6 team that would have gone to a minor bowl.
This could be quite possibly, based on the remaining schedule an 8-4 team playing in a major-conference championship game for a shot at a BCS-level bowl game.
Giving that up would be a significant sacrifice to the god NCAA, and one that presumably would weigh that much more against future sanctions.
The whole idea here is that self-absorbed penalties gotten out of the way now would supplant future penalties.
In other words, what otherwise might have been a four-year bowl ban could now be a two-year bowl ban moving forward beyond this season.
(UM also could self-impose its own football scholarship reductions next year, another step the school should strongly consider.)
The rules state the school would have to declare its intentions prior to the Dec. 1 ACC title game. That and the subsequent bowl game are a package deal. In other words, Miami would not be allowed to play for the ACC title and, if it lost, then declare a self-imposed bowl ban.
That is another reason Miami should volunteer a postseason ban right after its sixth win. Being realistic, UM would likely face Florida State in the ACC title game, and be a heavy underdog. So the chances of the Canes reaching the Orange Bowl game would be much less than Miami ending up in, say, the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando.
A clear vision
Golden reminded me again Wednesday that his vision for the Canes is clear.
Put Miami back where it belongs: In the national scene, he described that vision. I confront the facts. I know exactly where we are as a program. It isnt where we want to be, long way to go but were building.
The issue now, the center of Shalalas looming decision, is what helps that building process the most. What serves this program the best in terms of getting back to national significance fastest.
Playing in the ACC Championship Game would be nice.
But the priority should be to get beyond all of the coming sanctions as soon as possible, so that when Al Golden talks about his vision for Miami and hopefully it will still be his then hell see no obstacles in his path, only possibilities.

LACO's BAROQUE CONVERSATIONS Features Violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock, 4/17
Concertos by Vivaldi, Telemann and Handel are illuminated as part of LACO's "Baroque Conversations" series featuring widely admired Baroque violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock, concertmaster and leader of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, on Thursday, April 17, 7 pm, at Zipper Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The program includes Vivaldi's Concerto in F minor for Strings, RV 143; Concerto in E minor for Violin, Strings and Continuo, "Il Favorito", Op. 11, No. 2; and Concerto in D minor for Two Violins, Two Flutes, Two Oboes, Bassoon, Strings and Continuo, RV 566; Telemann's Concerto in G major for Four Violins, TWV 40:201; and Handel's Concerto Grosso in C major, "Alexander's Feast", HWV 318. Blumenstock is joined by members of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
LACO's highly regarded "Baroque Conversations," now it its eighth year, explores the genesis of orchestral repertoire from early Baroque schools through the pre-classical period. This year the series spotlights how Baroque composers transformed a simple theme or melody into grand, complex and intricate variations and great music. In signature LACO style, each concert host shares insights into the music and invites questions from the audience, providing an in-depth look at the music being presented as well as an opportunity to get to know LACO artists on a more personal level. A complimentary wine reception for all ticket holders begins at 6 pm.
The "Baroque Conversations" series concludes on May 1, 2014 when LACO Music Director and esteemed pianist Jeffrey Kahane performs Bach's Goldberg Variations.
Tickets for individual concerts (beginning at $55) are available online at laco.org, by calling LACO at 213 622 7001, or at the venue box office on the night of the concert, if tickets remain. Student rush tickets ($10), based on availability, may be purchased at the box office one hour before the concert.
ELIZABETH BLUMENSTOCK has played with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra since 1981 as a regular soloist, concertmaster and leader. Blumenstock is also a regular concertmaster with American Bach Soloists, the Göttingen Händelfestspiel Orchestra and the Italian ensemble Il Complesso Barocco. She has performed throughout the United States and abroad, appearing with the Boston and Berkeley Early Music Festivals, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Los Angeles Opera, among many others. An active and enthusiastic teacher, Blumenstock is instructor of baroque violin at the International Baroque Institute at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is on the teaching staff of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt… And if we feel their power just sufficiently to hoop us together, it will be the happiest situation in which we can exist. If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.

UPS to drop bid for TNT Express after EU refusal plan
Published on Jan 14, 2013 4:27 PM
THE HAGUE (AFP) - US delivery giant United Parcel Service (UPS) said on Monday that it was pulling out of its multi-billion-euro bid for Dutch firm TNT Express after European Union (EU) competition authorities said they would probably block the deal.
"UPS informed TNT Express that UPS sees no realistic prospect that EC (European Commission) clearance can be obtained and that UPS will not pursue the transaction on any other basis," UPS said in a statement from Hoofddorp in the Netherlands.
The decision is despite an attempt by UPS last year to overcome competition concerns by amending its 5.16-billion-euro (S$8.43 billion) bid.
EU competition authorities had warned that the takeover as constructed would result in damaging concentration in the European market for express delivery.

If you're celebrating Easter this weekend, you might be serving up some wine at your gathering. If you have trouble figuring out what to serve, or if you need help saving opened bottles you might not finish, this Laura's Likes is for you!
Hello Vino
How often do you hit the wine aisle, but can't figure out what to buy? If it happens to you, try the
Hello Vino app
. It helps you find a good bottle, gives you the best wine & food pairings, or even suggests wine for certain holidays and gift-giving.
You tell the app what you're eating or give general taste preferences, and Hello Vino will give you a recommendation.
You can also snap a pic of a wine label when you're at the store, and the app will tell you all about it! If you want to remember a wine you love, just snap a photo of the label and keep it in the app. You can also give it a rating, and then share your find with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or via email.
Hello Vino
is available for iPhone and Android users. For more info,
click here to visit their website!
Savino Connoisseur
So you have your tasty wine, but what happens if you don't finish the whole bottle? Don't let it go to waste. Enter
Savino Connoisseur
, the wine preservation kit! It's a great way to keep it fresh with the same flavor for up to a week.
Here's how: Pour the remaining wine into Savino, insert the float to create a physical barrier between the wine and the oxygen. Then place the top on the carafe to prevent any accidental spills. When you're ready to enjoy the wine again, remove the top and pour.
It was invented by a guy named Scott out of frustration over the waste of a good bottle. He's been on a journey for 15 years, and one year ago, Savino hit store shelves. You can buy it through
for $60 including shipping. Amazon also carries it.

Divine Wine Tours
If you're not hosting family and friends this weekend,
Divine Wine Tours
might be for you! Their goal is to connect wine-curious people who want to learn a little something about wine with Virginia wineries. They cover wineries throughout the Virginia countryside.
Divine Wine Tours is not a transportation service or a party bus. Dave and Candy are a local husband and wife team who started touring local wineries themselves. Then, people started asking them where to go and what to buy-- and they realized Virginia was ready for a Napa-style wine tour. They started their business last year, and it has taken off.
There are different tours to choose from, starting at $80 per person. That includes transportation, private tastings, a gourmet catered lunch, water and other bonuses. Visit their website,
, and pick your tour date and buy your seat! You can also customize your tour if you want to book a group event.

Prosecutors say former police chief's conduct 'abhorrent ' but not criminal
"It was imperative that we get him out of office to ensure that he will never serve as a police officer again," Young added.
The Attorney General's Office learned the next day three other adult women filed complaints against Seastrand. A second investigation was launched.
The first woman said she had sexual contact with Seastrand while "he was working as chief of the New London Police," Foster said in a statement.
The third woman said Seastrand offered her cash in exchange for taking photos of her. She refused.

Seastrand has an unlisted telephone number and could not be reached for comment. Neither selectman nor the town's administrative assistant could be reached for comment Monday night.
