Before I begin my review I would like to clearly mention that I have been a great fan of Shammi Kapoor it doesn't mean I have not liked other legends from Bollywood. Dilip Kumar is no doubtably one of the THREE PILLARS of Indian Cinema which include Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand. I have also been a huge admirer of all other stars also. About actresses though I didn't have any real favorites because I liked them all I think its only Saira Banu in the yesteryears and Sonali Bendre in my teenage years that made my heart skip a beat.
Now with the review...
The book is a true treasure of Dilip Kumar fans, especially those who haven't ever read or followed the vintage issues of magazines during his times. His wonderful memories from Peshawar including how a Fakir had predicted his future when he was a toddler. He talks about his struggle while growing up and his childhood friendship with Raj Kapoor that went on forever. He tells about his love for football and badminton and how he struggled to attend football matches after college days. To prove his independence or capability to his father, he narrates how he went to Pune and did a job at the military canteen. The book also tells about Dilip Kumar's love for reading and studying various subjects and ability to understand film making than his directors did.
The book gives detailed insights of how Dilip Kumar became a screen legend. He didn't have any previous actors except for a few like Ashok Kumar, Saigal and others. The Indian cinema was at its infant stage and the techniques were constantly changing. He probably was the first person who understood how body language mattered than the loud dialogue delivery due to avaibility of sound recording. He understood how closeups of facial expressions could express a dialogue (without actually delivering the dialogue verbally). Like any other autobiographies ever written, this one also seems biased in showing certain things and hiding certainthings. Its human to try to project oneself in the best way possible and try to forget bad things oneself and making others do that too. Everything in the biography seems believable apart from references about Madhubala or no-references at all about some women Dilip Kumar has been linked with. Strangely apart from his so-called first wife Asma no other serious allegations faced by him are mentioned in the book.
Many times there are irrelevant references of his wife Saira Banu in the many sections of the book which ascertains the fact of her control over the book. Also seems like the editor had a lot of problems in writing a book in-sync with a timeline. Episodes about his mom,dad or family in general keep jumping from past to present n' then to future again confusing users many times. Many things from the main content of the book clearly contradict the reminiscence section. E.g. Ramesh Sippy clearly states (in reminiscences section) that sahab had got married the second time (something opposite to what the autobiography states).
Also a point worth noting is that, Harish Salve mentions that Sairaji called him to write an account, why Dilip Sahab didn't? Dilip Kumar himself didn't speak a word during the launch event of the autobiography and seemed only mersmerised vaguely with the ongoing event (from whatever shots were shown.) I don't follow bollywood gossips as much as I indulge in the study of old stars during their shiny times, but something doesn't feel right. Seems like the latter part of the book or rather half of the book doesn't seem to be narrated by Dilip Kumar at all. Did Dilip Kumar first agree to write this autobiography and then wanted to backout for some personal reasons that he appeared so aloof at the launch event or is he unwell due to old age factor like dementia that he really doesn't know what is happening? Bollywood superstars and their PR can be strange and cunning. They will want their fans to appreciate them, buy their work and support their causes, but when their claims are questioned by the same fans they might act weird. The recent case involving the launch event of the book involving 7 Crore shows that the book had a lot of financial interests and tie-ups apart from the real intentions meant to publish it.
Incidents don't match with history (published in magazines/newspapers of those days which weren't normal tabloid press but authentic) and there is undue emphasis on family life instead of film-making. The earlier part of the book does have family life but its more about experiences than people, but half of the book revolves around Saira Banu. Its nice to read about her, especially I liked it since I loved her, but it seems irrelevant in a Dilip Kumar autobiography that could have so many more interesting things. The reminiscences could have more film personalities than horde of relatives! The remin
This book is a must read for anyone doing any kind of job related to film making but those who know bollywood history for real and in detail should happily skip this book. This book is for kinda newcomers (new fans of classic era), who might find something new in it. Also, a few chapters from the book can make up as a textbook for people involved into filmmaking or acting. This is what makes the book incomplete especially if you have really followed classic bollywood. This could have been a better and more authentic book especially its 'official', but for a normal reader one might find better information on Dilip Kumar's life from the Film Archives that might be available with some memorabilia collectors or official bollywood media departments.

On Friday night, Jake Allen made national headlines for the miraculous stick save he made in the St. Louis Blues 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames. Allen's save against the Flames is likely the save of the season thus far in the NHL. Allen started for the third night in the row between the pipe for head coach Ken Hitchcock and was at it against on Sunday night against the Vancouver Canucks. Allen once again an incredible save, this time, with the stakes a bit higher and with the game on the line. In overtime, Canucks forward Alex Burrows scooped up a loose puck and dodged past Blues defenseman Ian Cole in towards Allen for a breakaway. Burrows deeked and make a nice move, but Allen stood firm and made an incredible glove save on the attempt. Allen now has made two highlight reel saves on consecutive nights for the Blues and has helped lead the team to three consecutive victories. Unfortunatley for Allen, despite his great play, his time may be up in St. Louis for now as...

It looks like Rosie O'Donnell may be back on the market. According to the New York Post's Page Six, the former talk show host and her girlfriend of one year, Tracy Kachtik-Anders, have gone their separate ways.
Together, the two women were raising 10 children. O'Donnell has four of her own from her previous relationship with Kelli Carpenter, while artist Kachtik-Anders has six. Back in September 2010, O'Donnell seemed thrilled with her new, blended family.
"We're the Gay-dy Bunch!" she told UsMagazine.com. "It's a challenge, but when you fall in love with someone, they come with a whole bunch of things, including children."
Now, a source tells Page Six that the ladies are doing their best to keep their breakup from affecting the children. "They have definitely split up, but it is very complicated because their kids are very close."
A rep for O'Donnell wouldn't confirm or deny that the relationship is over; she simply said the women, who are neighbors in Nyack, NY, continue to be friendly.
"Rosie and Tracy never officially lived under one roof," the mouthpiece said. "They have lived near one another for quite some time, and their families still socialize and they see each other frequently."

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Mario Balotelli left out of Antonio Conte's first Italy squad after disappointing World Cup
MILAN - New Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has been left out of Antonio Conte's first Italy squad.
Balotelli, who joined Liverpool from AC Milan for 16 million pounds ($26.5 million) last week, has not been included in the 27-man squad for Thursday's friendly against the Netherlands and Italy's first qualifying match for the 2016 European Championship, against Norway, five days later.
Balotelli is suspended from the qualifier after picking up two yellow cards at the World Cup. Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio is also suspended, but has been included.
Conte has selected six forwards, including Balotelli's former Milan teammate Stephan El Shaarawy.
Ciro Immobile was the only striker selected who went to the World Cup in Brazil. Pablo Osvaldo has been selected after impressing in preseason friendlies, while Sassuolo striker Simone Zaza is another surprising inclusion. The 23-year-old Zaza has never played for Italy.
Balotelli, who is Italy's most talented but also most temperamental forward, had a disappointing World Cup as the Azzurri went out in the group stage.
The 24-year-old Balotelli is one of nine World Cup players who were not included — although several of those are absent through injury.
Cesare Prandelli resigned immediately after the team's last game in Brazil and was replaced by Conte this month, shortly after he quit Juventus.
The majority of the group will report to Italy's Coverciano training camp, on the outskirts of Florence, on Sunday night. Paris Saint-Germain players Salvatore Sirigu and Marco Verratti will arrive on Monday morning, while Mattia Destro has been given until Tuesday because of personal reasons.
Conte will take his first training session as Italy coach on Monday morning.
Italy will also play Croatia, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan and Malta in its Euro 2016 qualifying group.
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Daniele Padelli (Torino), Mattia Perin (Genoa), Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain)
Defenders: Davide Astori (Roma), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Gabriel Paletta (Parma), Andrea Ranocchia (Inter Milan)
Midfielders: Antonio Candreva (Lazio), Matteo Darmian (Torino), Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Mattia De Sciglio (Milan), Alessandro Florenzi (Roma), Emanuele Giaccherini (Sunderland), Christian Maggio (Napoli), Claudio Marchisio (Juventus), Marco Parolo (Parma), Manuel Pasqual (Fiorentina), Andrea Poli (AC Milan), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint-Germain)
Forwards: Mattia Destro (Roma), Stephen El Shaarawy (Milan), Sebastian Giovinco (Juventus), Ciro Immobile (Borussia Dortmund), Pablo Osvaldo (Inter), Simone Zaza (Sassuolo)

Weekly Features! + WIPsHi, how have you all been? I should forbid myself use of word "soon" when talking about my art since it's lost all meaning. New art soon is lately never a few days, more like weeks, months(!) even, as you know all too well. So, I'll just say I'm drawing, working on one of the many WIPs. The hardest part is done, but I gotta hurry up, actually, not even hurry up but cut procrastination drastically and simply draw for a decent amount of time daily, whenever I can, before things heat up at Uni. Anyways, here are some WIPs. Feel free to let me know what you'd like to see first, if anything, and I'll take it into account when deciding among those that have more priority. Honestly, I'd like to start a new work, several even, but I really, really mustn't until I finished at least some of these because: SPN and House WIP - cca. 2,5 yrs ago, parrot WIP cca. 3 yrs ago...Those following me on FB and tumblr saw them long time ago.
Weekly Features!
Weekly Features! + StockThis week a smaller feature, but since I uploaded over 100 new stock images to my stock account recently, many of which make nice refs for digital and traditional drawings/paintings, type of art majority of my watchers do (I think?), I also decided to put here a random selection of some of my stock images in case there's some thing you like, but also to help the visibility of my still pretty much unknown stock account.

Weekly Features! + Photography + Stock + UpdatesHi, how are you all? Everything good? Feel free to share anything. I have been very little active on dA for some weeks now, mostly just managing my group and doing some and run. Hopefully I'll do some catching up the next week, comment and stuff. I know the only thing you're possibly interested in is: where is the new art? Those of you who haven't given up on me yet, that is/are not, like, Wicked-Illusion, who? Well, the Uni's over, but I started working and the first week I didn't manage to draw in the afternoon because of x reason(s) while this week I come home practically at midnight and in the morning before work this little time I have, depending on when I get up, drawing is one of the activities I seem unable to do. I hope I manage to get my shit together in the following days, organize myself better and stick to it, and finally start working again on my numerous WIPs. You can see some works in progress in WIPs section of my art tumblr<

There is always a reason. A level of insult. An unprovoked assault. A threat of invasion. A refusal to negotiate in good faith. A refusal to compromise. There is always something so unbearable that it must be righted with no more delay and by any means, by even the last means, necessary. That final means is war.
Ever since mankind became able to produce and possess more than necessary for survival, there has been a surplus of resources. It is the treasure that has built our civilization and shaped the special magic and glory of what it is to be a human being.
The struggle for control and division of that treasure sometimes infects men's minds with a unique

Illinois Police to Arrest Drunk Boaters During HolidaySPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois Conservation police officers are reminding Labor Day revelers that drunk boating is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
The Department of Natural Resource's police force will crack down on inebriated boaters during the weekend marking the traditional end of summer. Deputy Police Chief Joe Morelock says all boaters should wear a life jacket and those drinking alcohol should designate a sober skipper.
Operating a boat under the influence is a misdemeanor crime for a first offense. It can bring a jail sentence of up to a year and a $2,500 fine.
Conservation police will also conduct "standard vessel inspections" to ensure safety rules are being followed. Everyone on board must have a "personal floatation device" available.
Police will also crack down on drunk drivers around lakes and in parks.

The Dream Box 2 #bbbdreambox2
I was lucky enough to snap up one of the highly sort after Latest in Beauty
#bbbdreambox2 The contents are worth over #£120 & it retailed at only £21 so thats quite incredible. Its jam packed full to the brim of beauty products handpicked by the lovely Jane from British Beauty Blogger. This is the second collaboration between Jane and beauty box experts Latest in Beauty, like the previous box its packed full. Its quite remarkable just how many products they have managed to include. I'm very excited to try everything and I have only tried a couple of things from this box which makes it even more exciting.
This is what's included in the #bbbdreambox2
I really wanted to get my hands on this box because the only product I've tried is the Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. All the other products are new to me & I'm excited to try them all. It's such good value for money. A few products I am particularly looking forward to using are,
Bourjois Bronzing Duo – I haven't tried that many products from Bourjois, but I do love their blushers and foundations. I am so pleased to see this full size cheek product in the box & I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this. I like the look of the packaging but for me cardboard packaging never lasts very well so we will see how it fairs in my makeup bag.
The Body Shop Satsuma Beautifying Oil – This was a lucky dip as to what scent you received. The Body Shop have 9 Beautifying Oils & I'm very pleased with Satsuma. It smells sweet & a little festive. Citrus scents are among some of my favourite I'm a big fan of using body oils & this Body Shop offering is a mutli use dry oil so I can be used on hair, body and face. So this will be keeping my skin hydrated, looking bright & radiant this winter. This is also a full size product.
Kerastase Shampoo & Conditioner – This is a brand I have never tried & I always hear such positive reviews of their products. I have recently had my hair cut quite short and have promised to take better care of it so these will help a lot & I plan on taking them with me when I go to Scotland for a week over Christmas. These are luxury sample sizes and I will get quite a few washes out of them
LOLA Lipstick Intense in Strawberry Fields – I was introduced to this brand by Jane as it was included in the previous Dream Box. I recieved the Kabuki Brush & have used it almost daily since. Its great quality and perfect for applying powder or cheek products. So I am happy to receive another product from this brand and very pleased with the colour of the lipstick. Its a beautiful and extremely wearable pink. Its going straight in to my handbag & I will use it as my daily lip colour this Winter.
Essie Toggle To The Top – What a festive nail polish, its red sparkly and very beautiful. This is from Essie's 2013 Winter Collection but its still relevant & it will most definitely be my Christmas Party Nail Polish of choice.
Im excited about the whole box, but but they're just a few products that stand out for me. Keep an eye out for reviews of everything in the box as I get chance to use them.
Let me know if you managed to get your hands on this box & what you're most looking forward to trying.
What a great deal. If you missed out on this box, the best way to hear when, where & how future boxes will be released is by following @BritBeautyBlog on Twitter (if you're not already).

Autumn / Winter Nail Polish
I bought two of these Kilner style jars from Clas Ohlson in Manchester for £3.99 they both have a pink screw lid & thought one would make the perfect storage for my current most worn nail polishes. I have my lip balms in the other, but thats for another post. So these are the nail polishes I will be wearing during A/W, I'm loving the transition into darker shades & I picked my favourite 8 polishes from my collection to put in this cute jar which now sits on my dresser. I love it.
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Mustard – This is part of Barry M's A/W14 range *& I just love this colour (thanks to HayleyFromHome). Its is opaque in two coats & is the most perfect Autumnal shade. It is a pretty creamy Mustard shade & reminds me of Autumnal leaves. I have been wearing this a lot & I know I will continue to. I really like the formula of the Barry M Gellly Hi Shine polishes & have collected quite a few. They last a good amount of time on me – up to 5 days. I do like to wear a top coat with all my polishes, these included, as I find it prolongs my manicure & it makes these look even more glossy.
e.l.f – This polish was from a trio I bought a while back. It has no shade name but its the most beautiful rose gold shade & its pretty for everyday. Its a little more festive but it I have been known to wear this colour all year round. Its just a small bottle & is handy for travelling. It applies nicely and although it doesn't last too long on my nails its such a pretty colour.
Essence in Circus Confetti – I love this glitter top coat. I bought it in Amsterdam a couple of years ago & before Essence released in the UK. Its so cool that we can now get our hands on this brand more easily now as they have a HUGE selection of polishes. This Circus Confetti is the perfect dupe for OPI Rainbow Connection. Its has so many different sizes & colours of glitter, I think it has every colour of the rainbow in there. I like to wear it over Models Own Balearic Blue or a Black polish, either way the glitter really stands out & makes your nails look super sparkly. You will need a top coast to stop the glitter feeling rough to the touch & I'd say two coats of this gives you a nice even spread of glitter. This is for sure a great Party Season Polish!
Leighton Denny in Vamp* – This is one of those dark polishes that I love. It looks good on toes too. Its a beautiful deep burgundy red that as the name suggests looks so vampy. Its warm and gothic looking, It makes the perfect A/W polish. This is a lovely polish to apply, no streaking whats so ever & it dries very quickly too. Its a well loved polish in my collection.
Models Own Hed Kandi in Balearic Cool – This isn't the easiest polish to apply & you will need to be patient in between coats as it takes a couple of minutes to dry. Even though its a bit of a pain I just love the snowy winter grey colour. It looks really pretty on the nails maybe a little stark but I like that. As I said it also makes a great base for glitter top coats & in particular Essence in Circus Confetti. I have to say that my Balearic Cool looks like a totally different colour to everyone else's. Weird?!
Maybelline Forever Strong in Dark Denim – This is a dark midnight blue & it lasts so long on my nails. I do have to wear a base coat as it stains my nails, but using a base cost is an easy fix. This has a really nice brush & even though its so dark I'm able to apply it relatively neatly. I love this dark blue & it works so well for the colder, darker months.
Mavala in Pink Gold* – This is a pretty festive gold shade with a hint of a pink sheen running through. Its so festive & gorgeous as a Christmas Party colour.
American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Lipstick – Well A/W wouldn't be the same without a bright red & this American Apparel offering is a bold ruby red. It is eye catching on the nails & looks like candy cane red. One coat is all you need and it dries quickly. Wear a base coat otherwise you will have red nails for weeks!
Let me know what your top A/W nail polish picks are & if you like any of the ones I have mentioned.
Products that are marked with an * have either been sent to me for my consideration or I've received at events. I'm under no obligation to review them on my blog. However if I do, the reviews are 100% my own.

Top Essence Makeup Picks
I have been working my way through the very generous goodie bag I received at the Essence Makeup Launch last month. There have been so many gems & a couple of misses too but I thought I would share with you 8 of my top picks. If you didn't already know Essence is a very affordable German makeup brand that's very popular not only in Europe but also worldwide and they have launched in all branches of Wilkinsons in the UK & also online. So we are all able to get our hands on them, very exciting.
Quick & Easy Sponge Nail Polish Remover £3.00
A lazy girls best friend, quite a few brands are doing these now just a big sponge soaked in nail polish but they're so handy for quick nail polish removal & this Essence one is budget friendly & works a treat. It is also acetone free
Essence Kabuki Brush £4.00
Black & Pink …. how cute right! This is comparable to my elf Kabuki Brush which I have used almost daily since buying it 2 years ago. This Essence one has been taking its place, I apply my bronzer or face powder with this & its does a very good job. No shedding and the bristles are soft. I have washed it a couple of times and it comes up clean & goes back into shape.
Essence Colour To Go Nail Polish in 128 Lets Get Lost £1.60
I love this colour & this is the shade I picked at the event (as they had lovely ladies doing nails). Its a stunning vibrant summery blue, this lasted so well on my nails I wore it for a full week with minimal chipping. I now have this colour on my toes and my love for it is only growing. I have to say that if there was one thing Essence does very very well its all things nail related. They have a huge selection of polishes, decals and everything you could want for nail art. I have used a few polishes and I haven't found a dud yet.
Essence Studio Nails Better Than Gel Nails Top Coat £2.50
OMG! This is my new favourite top coat, it has replaced my Orly and I can't see me picking up anything else. This applies very glossy and dries in a couple of minutes to a very hard but ever so shiny finish. I have applied this over every manicure since I came home with it & its helping my manicure stay in place and looking fresh for a week at a time. It really is living up to its name.
Essence Quad in 05 To Die For £3.00
This is a good neutral quad, the two darker colours are a lot more pigmented but if you wear a primer and take a little more time over applying the lighter 2 shades you can get them to work. This a great quad for achieving a brown smoky eye. The two light shades have a slight shimmer to them & so to does the more copper toned brown, then you also get a fantastic dark brown matte colour. The lighter colours give a little fallout but nothing that can't be cleaned up when you have finished, all the colours are easy to apply and to blend. I've really been enjoying using this quad & want to try a few more colour options.
Essence Long Lasting Lipstick in Blush My Lips 12 £2.30
This has to be my favourite product from the whole goodie bag. Its a bright pink creamy lipstick. It goes on the lips so smoothly and the colour is vibrant and beautiful. This is long wearing & thats on me (I'm terrible for lippies wearing off so fast & going patchy) but this one is great. The packaging feels more expensive than it is & the lipstick doesn't have that cheap scent that many budget friendly ones have. Its a big hit with me & I have a few other shades that are also just as good but this pink stood out for me, it pretty & the perfect Summer shade.
Essence Big Bright Eyes in highlight it ….. pearly £2.00
This is a cream coloured pencil which is fantastic under the brow bone or in the inner corner of your eye to brighten & highlight that area. This has a lovely creamy texture and a pretty iridescent finish so it catches the light. A staple in your makeup bag, especially if you like your eyes to look fresh & bright.
Essence Eyebrow Tweezers £2.00
Not as exciting as the pink lip stick but never the less still a vital part of my beauty regime. A good pair of tweezers is a must & these look cute and get the job done. Enough said ….. tweezers that work & look cute
If you have tried any products from Essence let me know what you loved & also what not to buy.
I received these Essence products at a recent event. I'm under no obligation to review them on my blog. However if I do, the reviews are 100% my own.

Essence Makeup Launches in the UK
I was invited along with lots of other lovely bloggers to the Essence Makeup launch in Manchester & to say I was excited was an understatement. I'd read a few posts about their London launch and that looked like it was a lot of fun so I was looking forward to hearing all about the brand & meeting up with other bloggers (doesn't happen often enough).
I met up with Natalie from Your Almost Alice & we managed to find The Studio without too much trouble, the room was really nice, it was lovely & bright with plenty of space. We were each given cute name badges – very handy when you only know peoples Twitter Handles. There were lots of tables laid out with all kinds of makeup on them, we were encouraged to try out the makeup & have a play – there was so many lovely products & people on hand to colour match us to the bases & give us advice on what best suited skin types. I have tried a few Essence products & I was so excited to see just how big the range actually was. I was lucky enough to have my nails painted by the Pamper Puff Girls & almost a week on my nails are still looking great.
They had a full size makeup stand, like the ones you see in a shop full to the brim with their whole range & we were given an overview to the brand by their German Team. they spoke of how Essence is sold in over 70 countries & that Britain will be getting the range Nationwide in Wilkinson Stores, so keep your eyes open for that in mid July. Also quite excitingly The Manchester Arndale & London Westfield will boast a huge 3 meter standalone Essence Booth, which will carry all of the limited edition products and a whole selection of exciting Essence Products so if you live near either location you need to pop in & have a look.
Essence is a fun budget friendly brand that is focused on quality & they excel at being on trend with their range. Although their packaging is quite fun & youthful looking their brand is aimed at people who are young at heart (thats me for sure). They are proud to be manufactured in Germany & even though they have purse friendly prices they don't compromise on quality. Of the few products I have tried I can honestly say this is something I have found, the nail polishes are long wearing & very pigmented, also the eyeshadows are buttery and blendable so they get a thumbs up from me. Essence prices start from as little as 99p & only go as high as £6.99 so very affordable. Another plus point is they are proud to be Cruelty Free.
We had hours to spend chatting to the Essence Team who came over from Germany, they were lovely enough to tell us about their favourite products and spoke with a real passion for their brand. Also we were given free reign to test, try and get excited about the products, Heidi from Flipside PR was excited for us to really take the products that caught our eye & for a beauty addict that was dangerous, although I was very restrained & was already overwhelmed at how incredible the Goody Bags were.
Its safe to say that we all had so much fun – nails were painted (by the lovely Pamper Puff Girls), beauty secrets were shared, food & drink were consumed & we all welcomed Essence to the UK & think they will be a huge success. They will be tough competition for other budget brands to compete with as their quality and product range it HUGE. I have quite a few Essence products to try out so expect a few reviews coming your way.
Let me know if you've tried any products from them & if so what you'd recommend.

A Few Topshop Favourites
I don't own all that much from the Topshop beauty range, but what I have tried I've loved. I think their products are well priced, great quality and the packaging is always cute. I thought I would share with you a couple of my favourite Topshop products.
I have 3 Topshop nail polishes and I love each of these equally. The deep blue is AWOL, the glitter is called Razzmatazz and the pink nude is called Barefoot. These apply really well and two coats gives an opaque colour. The glitter is the perfect topcoat & adds that little bit of glitz to a meh polish. The bottles look cute with their spotty lids. If you have any recommendations for Topshop polishes, I would love to know.
The other two products I really like from Topshop are the Sunbeam Highlighter & Cream Blush in Flush. I only have 3 cream blushes in my collection and this Topshop one is my favourite. It is a really pretty peachy pink and gives me a healthy touch of colour. I tend to apply this with my finger and blend it in.
The highlighter in Sunbeam comes in the cutest packaging, this thing is huge too! It is a baked gold highlighter that I always wear when I am going out. It is so very pretty. This thing is going to last me my whole life it is that big. I do wish it came with a mirror, that is my only negative point. The highlighter itself is not for the faint hearted, it gives quite the glow and has a good amount of shimmer in.
There is just something really satisfying about Topshop makeup, it makes me very happy. I love having it sat out on my dressing table. Do let me know if there are any products I mush try from their range.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire
I love purple nail polish and seem to have some sort of addiction, this Max Factor polish in Fantasy Fire is the perfect shade. Not only is it purple but it has a pretty shimmer to it too. Ticks all the boxes for me. I also like that the bottle it teeny tiny as I never ever finish a nail polish before they separate and go all gloopy so this is the perfect size. It's so cute. This is such a hard colour to photograph. The purple has green and red shimmer through it, it is really subtle but very pretty.
The polish does take 2 coats minimum to look vibrant, the above swatch is 2 coats & I would wear that but if you like your polish to be super bold you might want to layer up another coat. On the plus side it dries really quickly and applies smoothly and with no streaks. The formula is easy to work with. I have been wearing it quite a bit and love it on my toes too.
Max Factor Fantasy Fire – £3.99

Branching Out InTo Makeup
Superdry kindly sent me some bits from their makeup line to try out. I was quite excited when I received nail polish as I have been browsing their website looking at them, thinking how much I liked their colour range. I have seen a good few posts talking about them releasing their makeup line and I was super impressed by their packaging and attention to detail.
Superdry is a brand that I associate with being quite on trend and their makeup / beauty offerings live up to this too. They have quite varied selection including nail polish, eyeshadows, lip sticks, blush, lip glaze and quite a few other products. I spied a few tools and brushes on their website too. I love their bright colourful branding its very fun.
The nail file duo has been living in my handbag – when I get them out people love the bright colours and the handy bag they came in is perfect for on the go. The buff and shine block is good quality and I'm attempting to get my nails in shape for going to California in June, they need alot of TLC and these Superdry tools are helping.
Both shades are really pretty and right up my street. I love the Jade mint green shade – what a perfect colour for Spring and Summer. Soda Pop is an orange toned red and takes two coats to look fab! The consistency of the polish is quite thin and a little watery but it applies well and as I said 2 coats gives a good colour. The brush could be thicker but that's just my preference, I am a fan of the wider brush.
With Superdry being new to the makeup game I was dubious about their quality, but I have to say they really surprised me as their nail products are long wearing and the colour range is great. I just love the packaging of all their beauty products and I am excited to pick up some of their Brushes. I've been loving using both the Jade and Soda Pop but have my eye on the Bronze shade – it looks so pretty
You can buy the Superdry beauty range in store or online at Superdry.com – the nail polish is £6 for 10ml. I think that's reasonably priced. If you haven't already I recommend you take a look at their beauty offerings I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I am also excited to see what is to come from them in the future.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend x

Beauty Releases I'm Excited For #1
Unless you've been living under a rock, you will know that these beauties are being released next month.
Models Own Ice Neon Collection – These just jump out at me. They're bright and scream SUMMER is coming (hurry up). I've always wanted the perfect yellow polish but have never found one that I loved. This might be it!
There are five shades Pukka Purple, Bubblegum, Pink Punch, Luis Lemon and Toxic Apple.
I've loved so many Models Own releases and the recent Wonderland Collection was beautiful not to mention the Mirrorball Collection – they just always seem to have great collections. These are slightly different from previous collections as Models Own are recommending that you keep them in your fridge to stop the bright fluro colour from fading.
This new Ice Neon Collection is available online at modelsownit.com from March 20th (pre-order from March 1st for guaranteed March 20th UK delivery) Also available exclusively in the Bottleshop at Westfield on March 9th then will in Boots nationwide from March 22nd.
I will be picking up a few colours and popping them in the fridge – wonder what the hubby will say? Are you thinking of buying any? What colour are you most excited for?

Instagram Roundup Week #14
What a week it's been so first off I was invited to a blogger event in London organised by Grace from All That Slap and Ewa from Social Beautify. We discussed high-end must haves & high street favourites too. It was nice to meet lots of other beauty bloggers and have a good old chat about makeup & skincare. I will have a proper post on the event as soon as my internet is connected.
I also moved into my new house on Friday, so I have been unpacking and sorting out for most of the weekend. I still have lots of boxes in the garage that need unpacking I just don't have the mental capacity to open them yet. My internet won't be connected until the 22nd so until then I'm on the slowest dongle connection.
I will upload some photos of the house and I'm hoping to have a beauty related blog up at some point this week. I just need to find the boxes with all my products in first. So in the mean time I will leave you with my week in Instagrams.

A little Glitter goes a long way
I am a complete sucker for a glitter polish. They always look so nice on and they last for ages on your nails. I did pop into Topshop to pick up a highlighter (post on that to come) and I saw the Louise Gray collection. Which is so nice. Lots of fun colours and statement makeup. I almost caved and bought the Mascara too, but I remained focused and just picked up this stunning pink glitter polish ………
This pretty polish is called Pinch Punch and it's as I said a collaboration between British designer Louise Gray and Topshop. It's a stunning pink coloured polish with gold and sliver hexagonal glitter in. It is just beautiful.
Pinch Punch Topshop Nail Polish
You can get away with wearing one coat of Pinch Punch and it looks lovely and subtle. With two coats the pink polish really coms through and the glitter is far more bold. Either way this polish looks stunning. I like it when the glitter is not uniform on your nails & it's a little haphazard. It looks quirky and fun & that's exactly what this polish is for me, it's just fun to wear. I Love it. Have you tried anything from this collection? What do you think?
Showing one coat of polish
There are 4 nail polishes in this Louise Gray Collection – Junk Yard, Dart, Hat Trick and Pinch Punch. They are limited edition and retail for £6.50 – All are available in Topshop or online at Topshop.com so be quick if you want anything from the Louise Gray collection.← Older Entries

All together now: Office teamwork
The individuals in a practice, all of them, make up the team that supports clinical work. A cohesive and efficient team can make all the difference between a practice limping along and one that is willing to try new ideas and work flows.
Survey staff members using a written tool to learn their ideas. Some practices hold weekly or monthly staff meetings. Try rotating roles within the meeting (leader, scribe, timekeeper) so that the meeting is not always led by the same person. Keep track of generated ideas and who is responsible for next steps for those ideas.
It is not uncommon for physicians to receive productivity bonuses, but do other staff members also have this opportunity? One solo practitioner in Vermont gives his staff a percentage of net increase in profits. This dangling incentive motivated the team to find ways of responsibly cutting costs (turning off all computer power strips at the end of the day) and finding more efficient ways of running the practice (making two pharmacy calls each day rather than placing a call for each prescription).
Have a team "huddle" at the beginning of each day. Huddles are brief meetings during which all of the patients scheduled that day are discussed, making sure that charts are pulled and reviewed for topics such as patients who need catch up immunizations and preventative screenings. Huddles provide the team with a clear vision of what to anticipate that day, making it easier to stay on track when unexpected situations arise.
Make sure the individual members of the team work to the highest level of their licensure/certification/training. For example, does your medical assistant prepare patients with diabetes for a foot check, or does the assistant perform the foot check? Give an update form to all patients who arrive for an appointment. Let the medical assistant compare patient answers on this form to information in the chart and update the medical record. Or, if your state allows medical assistants to give vaccinations, prepare standing orders so these vaccinations can be given when the patient gets into the exam room.
Individual "ownership" of particular tasks helps ensure that there is no confusion about who is responsible for that task's completion. Another method is to cross-train staff, which keeps work flow moving smoothly in the event of an employee's absence.
The Center for Practice Improvement and Innovation produced videos covering eight topics about small practices. To watch how some real practices use teamwork to improve their practices, go online.

Stay tuned for improvements we're making to our Health Information section.
Test your knowledge about low back pain! Select True or False for each statement on the left. Then see how you did by checking the correct answers and explanations.
1. Weight-reduction after the onset of low back pain is of no benefit, since the damage has already occurred.
2. Increased low back pain, loss of bowel and bladder control, and increased numbness, tingling, and weakness in both legs may indicate a serious problem. I should call my doctor immediately.
3. Although heavy backpacks for children may be uncomfortable, they are not usually associated with long-term problems.
4. If I have a herniated disk in my low back, anti-inflammatory medicines and physical therapy may help, but eventually I will need surgery.
5. Recent advances in back surgery for herniated disks have allowed for less invasive surgery, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and earlier return to work and activities.
6. Smoking has no effect on low back pain.
7. Using proper lifting technique, exercising regularly, and using a lumbar support belt when I am lifting heavy objects will prevent low back injury.
8. Proper conditioning to address low back pain includes maintaining strength and flexibility of the back, abdominal, hip flexor, and gluteal muscles, as well as aerobic fitness.
9. Low back pain is common not only in pregnant women, but also in new mothers, even if no back pain was present before the pregnancy.
10. Just after back pain begins, you should rest in bed for at least one week.
