Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel Review

Hey everyone! I have been in the market for a new acne fighting product for some time now and decided to pick up the Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel. It had over 1000+ reviews on the Sephora website and I was intrigued to try it!

Claims & Benefits

This is a spot treatment product and you dab on a spot to your problem area. It will help to speed heal the desired area and there is technology to help correct post pimple darkening. The red algae and skin-calming caffeine helps with the irritating redness. This claims to help clear acne and it is a gel consistency. You can apply it 1-3 times a day and there is 1.50% of salicylic acid. This can be used on all skin types and it is free of: parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, GMOs, triclosan and phthalates.

 Where To Purchase, Price & Size

I purchased mine off the Sephora website but you can also find it in stores or at an Origins counter or on their website. You can purchase it for $22 and you are getting 10 ml of product. This isn't a bad price if you compare the price of other acne fighting products on the market. There is an expiration date on the bottom of the box so be mindful of that as some of the ingredients inside the formula will go bad at a certain point.
Update: It now retails for $24 at Sephora and this is the old packaging.

 Is It Worth The Money & Results

You only need to apply a little bit of product onto your problem area and this bottle should last me a few months. When I used this product on my pimple, I noticed after using it once that it dried out my pimple but it was still protruding outwards. On the second day, I applied it before I went to sleep and when I woke up, my pimple dried down a little bit more and it protruded less outwards. You definitely need to use this a few nights in a row and it isn't an immediate quick fix for your annoying pimples. This is not my favourite acne fighting product but it isn't a bad one. I am still in the market to find one that I can't live without! If you have any recommendations then please let me know down below.

Until next time,

March Empties | 2017

Hey everyone! Another month has passed and it's time for me to share all of my used up products for the month of March!

Face

Aloe Vera Scented Cleansing Wipes (25 count) - These do not have a brand name but I purchased 4 packs of these in different scents from Michaels. These retail for $1.50/pack and these are extremely affordable. I stocked-up when they had a sale and I managed to get all 4 packs for under $5. I use these on my face as well as for removing swatches.

Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleaner (45 ml) - This is great for all skin types and it is marketed as a revitalizing anti-oxidant facial cleanser. It really enjoy the scent of it and I love that it has a pump. Foaming cleansers are pretty much my favourite and I also love that you can see how much product you have left instead of guessing. This is a great face wash all around and it came in the Try Us, Love Us! On-the-Glow Essentials that I featured in my Black Friday Haul.

Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion (30 ml) - This was in the $4 bin at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale that I attended a few months back however, it isn't my favourite makeup remover and I would not purchase it again for a few reasons. First off, my face felt very greasy when cleansing my face and I would even do a double cleanse but, it wouldn't even break down the mascara underneath my eyes. It would just stay there and I was still removing far too much makeup with a wipe after double cleansing my face.

Estee Lauder New Dimension Sculpt + Glow Mask (15 ml/.5 oz) - This was another product that was purchased at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale for $4 and I found this on the counter randomly. I don’t know if someone had forgot to take it with them or if they changed their mind last minute, but that worked out well for me because I ended up purchasing the last one! This mask retails for $94 CAD for the full size which is 5 ml/.17 oz. I really do like the packaging which is a sliver top and a metallic blue container. The directions I find to be strange because it says to apply generously over your face and after 5 minutes, take a tissue to remove the excess. I never followed that because I think that it is a waste of product! I did like the scent and it isn’t overly strong. When it is on your face, you no longer smell it and my skin absorbs all of the product therefore, I don’t need to wipe away any extra product. It is a thick consistency and the product is white in colour in-case anyone is wondering. I wouldn’t purchase the full size because it is quite expensive and I much prefer the Water Sleeping Mask by LaNeige that I featured in my February Empties post!

Burt’s Bees Sunscreen with Hemp Seed Oil (85 ml/3 fl oz) - I honestly have had this product for much longer than I should and it’s actually embarrassing that I still had it tucked away in my drawer! I managed to use up about half of the tube and it wasn’t my favourite sunscreen. I wouldn’t repurchase it because if you don’t rub it in all the way, you will definitely have a white cast on your face and/or body. It only has an SPF of 15 and I definitely like to use something higher such as 50 or 60 on my face.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips (8 count) - I have been using these for years and you have probably seen these in many of my past Empties posts. I repurchase them all the time and I always try to have a box in my cupboard as back-up because I can’t be without them!

Boscia Pink Peppermint Blotting Linens (100 sheets & Limited Edition) - I have super oily skin in general, and need to carry blotting papers with me at all times. I really enjoyed using these and they lasted me a long time! I have two other packs of Boscia blotting papers that I have as back-ups.

Hands

Origins Hand Lotion in Spearmint & Lemon (30 ml) - This was another item that was purchased at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale and it came in a trio. This scent honestly reminded me of spearmint gum which overpowered the lemon scent. The consistency of this hand lotion was not thick enough for my liking and it was rather liquid-y. It didn’t do much for my hands and I would not repurchase it. 

Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte (259 ml) - This is a great Fall scent to have in the house and all of my family members loved this scent! I definitely repurchase it again next season! 

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Vanilla Bean Noel (259 ml - x2) - I love vanilla scents in general and this was a great one! This soap came out around the holidays hence the Winter themed label. I would definitely repurchase this in a heart beat!

Bath & Body Works Scentportable in Honolulu Sun - This is a great scent for Spring going into summer and it reminds me of the hot summer sun! I even went through the hand soap in this scent awhile back! 

Hair

Tresemme 24 Hour Body Shampoo (1.17 L) - I am honestly so relived to have finished this bottle because I really do not like this shampoo. I feel like it did absolutely nothing for my hair and it took me forever to finish this huge bottle! I have gone through another one of these in the past that I featured in my November Empties a few years ago, and I will never purchase it again nor will I ever recommend it to someone. Tresemme makes much better products other than this shampoo that you can check out in-stores.

Vitamins/Beverages

President’s Choice Chocolatey Chai Herbal Tea (20 tea bags) - This was such a great tea from the grocery store! I love chai tea in general and this did not disappoint! You can taste both the chai flavour as well as the chocolate notes and I drank this tea black!

Emergen-C Effervescent Powder in Lemon-Lime (30 packets) - This is by far my favourite flavour of Emergen-C and if you aren’t familiar with this product, it has 1,000 mg of Vitamin C in one packet. It is a great source of electrolytes and antioxidants. I take this regularly in the fall as well as the winter time and for that reason, I am convinced this is why I was able to fight off my cold!

diem B12 Methylcobalamin (1000 mcg - 100 tablets) - I honestly found these in my medicine cabinet and started taking them because I felt like my B12 intake was low. These are super easy to take as you take a single tablet once a day and you dissolve it underneath your tongue. Of course, you should always consult with a doctor if you are unsure of any medication before taking it.

Other

Johnson’s 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner (532 ml) - I bought this on sale instead of the usual baby shampoo that I buy from Johnson’s. It worked just as well but I prefer the yellow coloured formula better because that is just my personal preference. They both equally as good in my honest opinion though.

Oral B Healthy Clean Medium Toothbrush - I purchased mine from Wal-Mart and green is my favourite colour therefore I was drawn to this particular one! They did not have any soft bristle toothbrushes from Oral B and that’s why I had to purchase a medium bristle toothbrush instead. Oral B is my favourite brand when it comes to toothbrushes and this one did not disappoint!

Samples/Promo

Face

Sunday Riley Martian Mattifying Melting Water-Gel Toner (8 ml) - This was a deluxe sample from Sephora that I added to my cart in exchange for 100 of my points as it was one of their perks you could redeem points for, and I wanted to try it because of the mattifying properties that really could be beneficial for my oily skin. I also wanted to try a product from the Sunday Riley brand in general because I’ve heard nothing but good things, especially from her oils. This claims to: absorb oil, clarifies and minimizes the appearance of pores. It transforms from a cooling gel to a water toner the face which is pretty interesting. I love using my Rose Water to tone my face at night and with this toner from Sunday Riley, I felt as though I had to use more product than I normally would. I was originally applying it onto a cotton round and I felt that it was absorbing a lot of the product. I then used my fingers to apply the toner directly onto my face and I found that it was better but you have to be careful or the product will shoot across the room (as it did happen to me!) I used two pumps at night and I found that it absorbed quickly into the skin.

Also, I like that there is a green tint to the product and that it didn’t dry out my skin. It reduced the oils on my face and if you’re wondering, I used this product at night before my skincare routine. I’m not sold on purchasing the full sized version (130 ml) yet because I have another bottle of toner that I want to finish-up first. Another point I want to mention is that the second ingredient on the list is alcohol which can really dry out your skin and/or irritate it. Be cautious of that, and I have also heard of people who said the gold trim on the packaging was flaking off getting all over their face.

Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream (1 ml) - I already went through an entire deluxe sample of this that I featured in my December Empties post. I still think that it is a standard eye cream that does what it is supposed to do. It hasn’t exceeded my expectations and I’m still on the hunt for the best eye cream on the market!

Clinique Pep-Start Quick Cleansing Swipes Pop-Ups (2) - I really love the concept of these and they were be absolutely perfect to travel with! They won’t take up much room in your suitcase, you won’t have to worry about them drying out because they are individually packed and they do a decent job at removing your makeup. You basically just push up the middle part which contains the cloth and the liquid absorbs into it as you push it up. You take it out, unravel it and it is ready to use on your face. This can seem somewhat gimmicky and the price is rather steep at $13 CAD for only 9 pods which works out to about $1.44 per makeup wipe. They do remind me of cleaning cloths for your house and they aren’t thick enough if my opinion. I would not purchase them unless they reduced the price and made the cloths for heavy-duty as well as soft for using on the face.

Nuface by Carol Cole Prep-N-Glow (1 Dual-sided Cloth) - This claims to ‘cleanse + exfoliate + hydrate’ which I would agree with. It did a great job at removing my makeup and the other side is for exfoliating. It is oil-free, alcohol-free and paraben-free. This did make my face feel very clean but the only downside is the price. It is $25 CAD for 20 cloths on Sephora’s web site. I find that to be rather steep and I usually don’t pay more than $6-$8 at the most on a pack of face wipes. I would only purchase them when they are having their VIB sale because that is a lot of money to spend on something that you use only once and then throw away.

Elizabeth Arden Superstart Skin Renewal Booster (1 ml) - This claims to be an ultra-light formula and it is best to apply it before your serum/moisturizer. This is a gel-like consistency and there is a fragrance that I can’t quite pinpoint. However, I am not sold on it and I would not purchase this product in a larger size because I feel like it didn’t do anything to my skin that another moisturizer already doesn’t do.

Benefit Pore-fessional (0.15 ml) - This product was actually featured in my Project Pan Round 4 and Project Pan Round 5. I have gone through a whole tube of this and then a deluxe sample of this. It is that good and it made me realize how much that I missed using it! I will definitely purchase another tube of this once I use up my other primers. It helps minimize the appearance of your pores and it also smoothes your skin. 

Smashbox Insta-Matte Lipstick Transformer (1.5 ml) - This is a really concept and it allows you to turn your favourite cream lipstick into a matte lipstick just by applying this product onto your lips. It won’t work with glosses, lacquers or balms so keep that in mind. Instead of finding your favourite shade of lipstick in a matte finish, this product does the work for you!

Dr. Brant 3-D Lip PLUMPfix Matte Lip Perfecting Serum (0.25 g) - There are two different lip plumpers: one for the AM (plump & prime) and another one for the PM (nourish & restore.) There is definitely a slight tingling sensation for the AM side (not for the PM one though,) and you want to let the product completely absorb into your lips. It absorbs rather quickly and the AM side had a rosy pink tint to the product that isn’t very noticeable. I wouldn’t purchase this product because I feel that it is gimmicky and it doesn’t do much for my lips in-general. It doesn’t plump them enough to my liking.

Lancome Dual Finish Multi-Tasking Powder & Foundation In One All Day Wear in #555 Suede (40 mg) - This is available in 25 different shades and it claims to work with all skin tones. You can use it as a powder or a foundation. You can build-up the coverage to your liking to make it full coverage or you can sheer it out. This can be applied either wet or dry. This was a nicely packaged sample as it came with a makeup sponge to apply the product and you can write the name of your shade on the packaging along with the store as well as the name of your Beauty Advisor (if applicable.)

Hair

Nubi Hair Boosting Hair Serum - This was given to me at a show and it smells great. It contains marula oil and it does not leave the hair greasy. However, it isn’t my favourite hair oil to use and I will be sticking to the one that I am currently using.

Teeth

Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Gel (1) & Desensitizing Gel (1) - I have really been enjoying using this system to whiten my teeth and I can tell a difference! I have an entire blog post dedicated to Smile Brilliant that you can check out!

Fragrance

Chloe Eau De Parfum - This scent is described as ‘a sublime powdery rose, feminine, natural, sexy & chic.’ The notes include: peony, rose, honey and cedar wood. My friend actually tried out the sample and liked it so much that she bought the larger sized bottle. This scent works better on her body chemistry that it does on mine. It smells matronly on me and be advised that a little bit of this fragrance does go a long way as it is on the heavy side. It takes a while for the scent to die down and not be nearly as strong as when you first applied it. 

Supplements/Vitamins & Miscellaneous

Platinum Naturals Extra Gentle Easy Iron Minerals (3 pack - 2 capsules in each) - These were sent out to me in exchange for my review and to be honest, I have had a difficult time taking iron pills in the past because they have been hard on my stomach. These were gentle on my stomach, they did not constipate me and were easy to swallow. I usually took these when I would eat my lunch and you take one capsule daily. These have many great ingredients and they are vegetarian. I would definitely consider purchasing these in the future!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Estee Lauder Makeup Sale & Town Shoes Warehouse Sale 2016

Hey everyone! Yesterday, I attended the very first Town Shoes Warehouse Sale in Mississauga and right after that, I went to the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale in Markham! I wanted to share with you all of the awesome deals that I found at both sales! 

Town Shoes Warehouse Sale

Uggs Women’s Bailey II Button Boots (S/N 5803)

Paid: $63 CAD

Retail: $210 CAD

Savings: $147 CAD

Hunter Regent Unisex Black Wellington Boots (Similar Style)

Paid: $54 CAD

Retail: $180 CAD

Savings: $126 CAD

 On the racks, it was organized by size. There were some tables towards the front that were organized by brand such as a table with all Hunter boots and another table that had only UGG boots.

Everything at this warehouse sale was 70% off the original retail price!

They were also selling: purses, scarves, slippers and other accessories, but none of them caught my eye.

This is how the warehouse looks like and as you can tell by the photo, they have put up gates so that no one other than those working in that area can access it. They had plenty of stock and their first ever Town Shoes Warehouse Sale was a success!

Estee Lauder Makeup Sale

You need a ticket to enter this sale as it by invitation only. It happens only a few times a year. There are different colour tickets for the different days of the sale.

I waited in-line for about 1 hour and 10 minutes which wasn't too bad. My friend went on the Friday and had to wait for 2 hours just to enter the sale! 

Here are some of their rules and restrictions in-case you are wondering.

They have one sample out and they do write the brand as well as the shade for you. You are able to swatch these. When you find a shade that you like, there are papers provided and you simply write the number down on your paper. 

I highly recommend that you bring your own pen because the pencils provided either go missing or are constantly in use!

Once you found everything in that section that you want to purchase, you then line-up and give your paper to one of the workers. They then go based on the number that you have written down on your paper, and get the corresponding products for you. They put the paper in the bag with your chosen items and seal it. They then give it back to you and you can continue shopping. All the products must be in a bag when you purchase them. Also, if an item is sold out, they do update it on the table to let the customers know that they are out of it.

$4 Bins

This particular section can get crazy. It is the $4 section and everything here is $4 per item. You can find some great items here that are fabulous stocking stuffers! 

What I Purchased:

I had a feeling that I would find some great items today and I was right! I was most excited to purchase the GLAMGLOW products! I saved quite a bit of money and I can't wait to try out these products for you! 

$4 Bins:

Clinique Chubby Lash Fattening Mascara in Jumbo Jet

Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion (30 ml)

Retail: $32 CAD

MAC Overlacquer 

Free gift at the end upon collection of the invitation.

Outside the building, there were these bales of hay that were spray painted! I absolutely loved them and got my friend to take a picture of me with them after we had finished shopping. 

All that shopping made us quite hungry and we went to eat some dinner at a restaurant that I have been wanting to try-out for a few months now! It is called Smash Kitchen & Bar and it is located in Unionville. I got the Smash Burger with fries and my friend ordered the L.A. Mac & Cheese without the bacon because she is a vegetarian. The Mac & Cheese was very rich and creamy. It was absolutely delicious! My burger had a double patty and it was cooked excellently! We both ate all of our food and our only complaint is that we wished that there was a location closer to us! 

Until next time,

December Empties | 2015

Hey everyone! It's that time again! Time for another month of empties! What makes this post different is that it is the last empties post of 2015! Feel free to sort through my garbage with me one more time before the new year!

Also, I want to give a HUGE thank-you to all the readers because I have reached over 10,000 ALL TIME VIEWS! That is very exciting for me and I couldn't have done it without all of you!

Hair

Redken Scalf Relief Dandruff Control - The only reason why I bought this at Ulta is because I thought that I had psoriasis on my scalp but in reality, I just need a good clarifying shampoo to get rid of all the build-up from the products that I use on my hair. I can’t really give an opinion on this product but I wanted to use it up regardless.

L’Oreal Hair Expertise Fibralogy Hair Mask - This is my favourite hair mask on the market right now and I have been recommending it to all my friends! It works best on hair lacking thickness and it is an intense texturizing mask. My hair was getting very thin in the past months and I wanted something to help make my hair full again. This did just that for me and not to mention that it smells incredible! I already have the conditioner from the same line and I want to try other products from this line because I have had great results so far! This jar lasted me a decent amount of time as well! It is very inexpensive and I bought mine at Wal Mart.

Teeth

Crest 3D Luxe Whitestripes in Glamorous White - This are my go-to favourite white strips. I have repurchased and have not found any ones that work better so far. They do a great job at whitening your teeth. They are reasonably priced but I suggest trying to purchase them when they are on sale.

Crest 3D Luxe White Toothpaste - I have used this product before and it is in my top 3 favourite toothpastes to use. It really does a good job at cleaning your teeth and I like the mint flavour. 

Colgate Total Toothpaste in Clean Mint - This is a basic and very standard toothpaste. It doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary and I really don’t care for it. I probably just bought it because it was on sale to be honest.

Face

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths (25 count) - I used up another pack of these. I really like them because each towelette is a decent size, it does not break when you are removing your makeup and the cloth does not feel dry. It says on the packaging that it “leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean,” which I would have to agree with!

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips (8 count) - These are my go-to and I will continue to use these for years to come! These strips really get out all my white heads and keep my skin in check.

Elta MD Skincare UV Daily SPF 40 Daily Moisturizing Lotion - I bought this from the laser clinic that I go to and this really does a great job at protecting my skin from the harmful UV rays. I use it daily, in the morning and it is great underneath makeup because this formula absorbs quickly into the skin. It is a little bit on the more expensive side but it did last me quite some time - maybe 6+ months with daily use.

Hands

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Cherry Blossom - This particular scent wasn’t anything special and I don’t feel the need to repurchase it.

Bath & Body Works Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Boardwalk Vanilla - You already know that my household loves this scent and that I still have many more back-ups of this scent that you will see in upcoming empties blog posts in 2016.

Body

Bath & Body Works Intense Moisture Body Butter in Twilight Woods - I love this scent because it is musky and warm smelling. The body butter is just what I needed for the colder months. It really hydrates your skin and leaves it feeling moisturized.

Eucerin Original Lotion - My dermatologist recommended this to me when my psoriasis was at its worst. This really helped with the flaking and the dry patches. It didn’t irritate my skin at all and I can’t recommend this enough! I will definitely be repurchasing this in the future because it was a saviour! You can find it at your local drugstore and it if fairly inexpensive. My brother was even using this lotion because it is unscented and didn't leave him smelling like a flower.

Other/Miscellaneous

Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies - This product needs no introduction and I have gone through yet another bottle.

Softswabs Cosmetic Applicators - I love these and find myself always reaching for these when I do my makeup. There is one pointed end and one flat end. I use the pointed edge to clean my my lipstick and also for the inner corners of my eyes as well as to clean up any smudged eye liner. The flat edge is great for right underneath the water line and to fix up any minor makeup mistakes such as fallout.

Polysporin Vitamin E enriched Formula - I have been using this since I was a kid and still find myself reaching for it. If I have a cut or anything that needs to be treated, this is my go-to! Like the packing suggests, it really helps the cut or blister to heal fast! 

Samples

Facial Oils:

The Body Shop Oils of Life  - I really do like this oil. I have used many samples of it and am considering purchasing the full sized version. It doesn’t leave my face greasy and leaves my skin soft.

Nude Omega Treatment Rescue Oil - This oil was alright. I feel like I would have to use it more to really get a better opinion of it. The scent of it did remind me of a plant which I didn’t mind.

Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins Skin Refining Oil - I could smell the vanilla in this oil and really enjoyed that! I did enjoy using this sample

Moisturizers:

LaNeige Water Bank Moisture Cream - I really can’t remember the pros from using this product. All I can remember is that it did not stand out and i probably wouldn’t ever purchase it.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Repair with Fab Antioxidant Booster - I didn’t care for this cream but I did like the other cream I tried out from First Aid Beauty!

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration for Dry Parched Skin - I enjoyed using this sample more than the Intense Repair because I felt as though this targeted my skin’s concern better. I would considering buying this in the near future.

Makeup:

Sephora Colorful Blush No5 Sweet on You! - It was alright. Nothing that blew me away though. Just a standard colour with a standard formula. I wouldn’t purchase.

Lancome La Base Pro Pore Eraser - I really enjoyed using this sample and was sad when it ran out. I will consider purchasing this product when my Porefessional runs out. It helps minimize pore and your makeup glides on so much easier with this underneath. 

Lancome Miracle Cushion in 03 Beige - I hated the concept of this item. There is a cushion compact that you dab into the product and then apply to your face. This coverage is build able but I just didn’t think that it was full enough coverage for my liking. It is not cake feeling, it is actually weightless but I just can’t be bothered with this product. I also kept thinking of the bacteria inside the sponge that would occur with constant use.

Facial Masks:

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask - I really enjoyed this product. From the cucumber scent to the feeling your face is left with after you wash this off, it’s really an awesome product. Luckily for me, I got  a jar of this in a Peter Thomas Roth Gift Set that I received for Christmas!

GlamGlow ThristyMud Hydrating Treatment - I really liked this mask! It was easy to use and the directions were easy to follow. There are many benefits to this product to such as: that it is paraben free, it is for all skin types and that it is for men and women.

Cleansers/Multiple Step Treatments:

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser - I liked this product because it did a good job at getting rid of my makeup. It is gentle and didn’t burn my eyes while using it. I am all for this product.

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel - Step 1 & 2 - I really do like this product a lot. My skin felt so refreshed and firm after 1 use! I wish that it wasn’t so expensive to buy otherwise, I would have already started using it already.

Ole Henriksen 3-Step System for ALL Skin Types - It was nice to use but I can’t see myself using this down the road. It comes with a facial gel, a facial cream and a facial serum. You use the serum in conjunction with the cream in the AM and then you switch over to the facial gel in conjunction with the same facial cream again in the PM. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Truth Serum Collagen Booster. 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

P.S. I DO plan on doing Project 10 Pan again in 2016 because I had fun doing it the first time around and it's a great way to set a goal for yourself to use up current items from your stash in order to make room for more items.

P.P.S. If you have been reading my blog for some time now, you may have noticed that I have updated the colours of my blog to incorporate the two Pantone Colours of this year which are: Rose Quartz and Serenity.
