I'm curious about just what is meant by time being another dimension, like the three (observable) spatial dimensions. Does this imply, according to General Relativity, that the past and the future already "exist" and that we're just moving through it, as we move through spatial dimensions? Or, is time being a dimension just a mathematical construct allowing us to calculate time dilation effects? Do we even know the answer to this question?
Intuitively, it would seem to me that the past doesn't "exist" except in our memories and that the future "hasn't happened yet" so that all that exists is the present...
I suppose I should clarify what I mean by "exists". The three spatial dimensions definitely exist. You can travel through them and they are not just a bit of abstract mathematics.
What you can't do is travel faster than C through space. But, if you could you know when you stop, there would be something there.
Now, if you were to take the hypothetical example of time travel, there are two distinct questions here that follow this same line of reasoning. For the present, we don't have the technology to travel through time and it seems like an extremely difficult thing to do. But if you could would there be something there to travel to?
So, even if it is impossible to travel through time, our theories could still inform us whether the past and future exist in the same sense as the present does along the above lines. This was not supposed to be a time travel question... Just a question about the fundamental nature of spacetime: all "presents" existing, or only one "present", and what our current theories tell us or don't tell us about the answer to that question.
Further Clarification
So, as one of the answer's helpfully pointed out, Relativity certainly states there is no "privileged present", or a present that nature prefers and that all other points in time are measured against. I understood this before I asked the question.
But, you could still ask the question of whether in an observer's own frame of reference, does his own past and future exist?
To illustrate: Imagine instead of three spatial dimensions, we had only two. When space would stretch, it would expand or contract a grid drawn on the "paper" universe's spacetime. But, the "paper" would not move out of it's plane (NOT like a trampoline).
Time would be the third dimension, with infinitesimal space sheets stacked one after another. A stretching of time would mean pulling the sheet in or out like a trampoline.
So, in this illustrative universe, if the past and future exist, there are a nearly infinite number of sheets of present slices in array from the universe's birth till it's death. If only the present exists, there is only ever one slice and it changes over time.
Can we say which view is correct in a concrete way, not just in terms of the math? (If you haven't noticed, I'm not a math guy, but I am a picture guy)

BEIJING — China sent warships and dozens of fighter jets toward Taiwan on Saturday, the Taiwanese government said, in retaliation for a meeting between the U.S. House of Representatives speaker and the president of the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.
The Chinese military announced the start of three-day "combat readiness patrols" as a warning to Taiwanese who want to make the island's de facto independence permanent. The People's Liberation Army gave no indication whether they might include a repeat of previous exercises with missiles fired into the sea, which disrupted shipping and airline flights.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy held talks with President Tsai Ing-wen on Thursday in California, adding to a series of foreign lawmakers who have met Tsai to show support in the face of Chinese intimidation. Beijing responded Friday by imposing a travel ban and financial sanctions against American groups and individuals associated with Tsai's U.S. visit.
On Saturday, eight warships and 71 planes were detected near Taiwan, 45 of which flew across the middle line of the strait that separates it from the mainland, the island's Ministry of Defense said. It said they included Chengdu J-10, Shenyang J-11 and Shenyang J-16 jet fighters.
Also Saturday, the navy planned to hold "live fire training" in Luoyuan Bay in Fujian province opposite Taiwan, the local Maritime Authority announced. Ships were banned during the firing, which also was due to take place on five dates over the next two weeks.
Taiwan split with China in 1949 after a civil war. The ruling Communist Party says the island is obliged to rejoin the mainland, by force if necessary. Beijing says contact with foreign officials encourages Taiwanese who want formal independence, a step the ruling party says would lead to war.
"This is a serious warning against the collusion and provocation between the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces and external forces," said a PLA statement. The "Joint Sword" exercises "defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Plans also called for the exercise to include a destroyer, missile boats, ballistic missiles and land-based anti-ship missiles as well as early warning, electronic warfare and tanker aircraft, according to the The Global Times, a newspaper published by the Communist Party.
The Taiwanese military said missile defense systems were activated and air and sea patrols sent to track the Chinese aircraft.
"We condemn such an irrational act that has jeopardized regional security and stability," a Ministry of Defense statement said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping's government has stepped up efforts to intimidate the island by flying fighter jets and bombers nearby and firing missiles into the sea.
The United States has no official relations with Taiwan, a center for high-tech industry and one of the biggest global traders, but maintains extensive informal and commercial ties. Washington is required by federal law to ensure the island of 22 million people has the means to defend itself if China attacks.
Military analysts suggest a possible Chinese strategy in the event of an attack is to try to pressure Taiwan to surrender by blocking sea and air traffic, preventing the United States, Japan or other allies from intervening or sending supplies.
On Saturday, the PLA was testing its ability to dominate the sea, air and information and to "create a situation of deterrence and suppression," the mainland newspaper The China Daily said.
Taiwan and the mainland have multibillion-dollar trade and investment ties but no official relations.
"We will never leave room for 'Taiwan independence' separatist activities in any form and will definitely take resolute measures to defeat any foreign interference," said a spokesperson for the Cabinet's Taiwan Affairs Office, Zhu Fenglian, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
"Complete reunification of our country must be realized, and it can, without doubt, be realized," Zhu was quoted as saying Friday.

Musical training can have a dramatic impact on your brain's structure, enhancing your memory, spatial reasoning and language skills
'Music probably does something unique. It stimulates the brain in a very powerful way, because of our emotional connection with it.' Illustration: Sophie Wolfson
The multimillion dollar brain training industry is under attack. In October 2014, a group of over 100 eminent neuroscientists and psychologists wrote an open letter warning that "claims promoting brain games are frequently exaggerated and at times misleading". Earlier this year, industry giant Lumosity was fined $2m, and ordered to refund thousands of customers who were duped by false claims that the company's products improve general mental abilities and slow the progression of age-related decline in mental abilities. And a recent review examining studies purporting to show the benefits of such products found "little evidence … that training improves improves everyday cognitive performance".
While brain training games and apps may not live up to their hype, it is well established that certain other activities and lifestyle choices can have neurological benefits that promote overall brain health and may help to keep the mind sharp as we get older. One of these is musical training. Research shows that learning to play a musical instrument is beneficial for children and adults alike, and may even be helpful to patients recovering from brain injuries.
"Music probably does something unique," explains neuropsychologist Catherine Loveday of the University of Westminster. "It stimulates the brain in a very powerful way, because of our emotional connection with it."
Playing a musical instrument is a rich and complex experience that involves integrating information from the senses of vision, hearing, and touch, as well as fine movements, and learning to do so can induce long-lasting changes in the brain. Professional musicians are highly skilled performers who spend years training, and they provide a natural laboratory in which neuroscientists can study how such changes – referred to as experience-dependent plasticity – occur across their lifespan.
Changes in brain structure
Early brain scanning studies revealed significant differences in brain structure between musicians and non-musicians of the same age. For example, the corpus callosum, a massive bundle of nerve fibres connecting the two sides of the brain, is significantly larger in musicians. The brain areas involved in movement, hearing, and visuo-spatial abilities also appear to be larger in professional keyboard players. And, the area devoted to processing touch sensations from the left hand is increased in violinists.
These studies compared data from different groups of people at one point in time. As such, they could not determine whether the observed differences were actually caused by musical training, or if existing anatomical differences predispose some to become musicians. But later, longitudinal studies that track people over time have shown that young children who do 14 months of musical training exhibit significant structural (pdf) and functional brain changes (pdf) compared to those who do not.
Together, these studies show that learning to play a musical instrument not only increases grey matter volume in various brain regions, but can also strengthen the long-range connections between them. Other research shows that musical training also enhances verbal memory, spatial reasoning, and literacy skills, such that professional musicians usually outperform non-musicians on these abilities.
Long-lasting benefits for musicians
Importantly, the brain scanning studies show that the extent of anatomical change in musicians' brains is closely related to the age at which musical training began, and the intensity of training. Those who started training at the youngest age showed the largest changes when compared to non-musicians.
Music reaches parts of the brain that other things can't
Even short periods of musical training in early childhood can have long-lasting benefits. In one 2013 study, for example, researchers recruited 44 older adults and divided them into three groups based on the level of formal musical training they had received as children. Participants in one group had received no training at all; those in the second had done a little training, defined as between one and three years of lessons; and those in the third had received moderate levels of training (four to 14 years).
The researchers played recordings of complex speech sounds to the participants, and used scalp electrodes to measure the timing of neural responses in a part of the auditory brainstem. As we age, the precision of this timing deteriorates, making it difficult to understand speech, especially in environments with a lot of background noise. Participants who had received moderate amounts of musical training exhibited the fastest neural responses, suggesting that even limited training in childhood can preserve sharp processing of speech sounds and increase resilience to age-related decline in hearing.
More recently, it has become clear that musical training facilitates the rehabilitation of patients recovering from stroke and other forms of brain damage, and some researchers now argue that it might also boost speech processing and learning in children with dyslexia and other language impairments. What's more, the benefits of musical training seem to persist for many years, or even decades, and the picture that emerges from this all evidence is that learning to play a musical instrument in childhood protects the brain against the development of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Unlike commercial brain training products, which only improve performance on the skills involved, musical training has what psychologists refer to as transfer effects – in other words, learning to play a musical instrument seems to have a far broader effect on the brain and mental function, and improves other abilities that are seemingly unrelated.
"Music reaches parts of the brain that other things can't," says Loveday. "It's a strong cognitive stimulus that grows the brain in a way that nothing else does, and the evidence that musical training enhances things like working memory and language is very robust."
Learning to play a musical instrument, then, seems to be one of the most effective forms of brain training there is. Musical training can induce various structural and functional changes in the brain, depending on which instrument is being learned, and the intensity of the training regime. It's an example of how dramatically life-long experience can alter the brain so that it becomes adapted to the idiosyncrasies of its owner's lifestyle.

Healthy entrance
To minimize the introduction of pollutants into indoor air at building entrances.
Occupants often track harmful contaminants indoors, including bacteria, heavy metals, lawn and agricultural pesticides, among other toxins. In addition, as occupants walk through entry doors, potentially polluted air can enter the building. Both of these modes of introducing outdoor pollutants to the indoor environment highlight the need for measures that minimize or prevent the introduction of potentially harmful substances to indoor spaces.
To capture particulates from occupant shoes at all regularly used entrance(s) to the project, one of the following is installed and is maintained on a weekly basis:
Permanent entryway system comprised of grilles, grates or slots, which allow for easy cleaning underneath, at least the width of the entrance and 3 m [10 ft] long in the primary direction of travel (sum of indoor and outdoor length).
Rollout mats, at least the width of the entrance and 3 m [10 ft] long in the primary direction of travel (sum of indoor and outdoor length).
Material manufactured as an entryway walk-off system, at least the width of the entrance and 3 m [10 ft] long in the primary direction of travel (sum of indoor and outdoor length).
One of the following is in place to slow the movement of air from outdoors to indoors within mechanically ventilated main building entrances:
Building entry vestibule with two normally-closed doorways.
Revolving entrance doors.
At least 3 normally-shut doors that separate occupied space from the outdoors. For example, a space on the fifth-floor could be separated by the exterior building doors, the first-floor elevator doors and the fifth-floor elevator doors. This option is applicable only for buildings whose entrance lobby is not a regularly occupied space.

"We're awesome, we're awesome. You're awesome, too!," singer Meredith Graves said, with a smirk.
You've read that right, fifteen minutes. So far, they hold the record for quickest headliner show. If you've never seen the band, they're loud and is known for their high energy performance. Only four or five songs in, Graves already announced, "This is our last song." With that note, the fans moshed harder and, just like that, the show was over. It was a very interesting experience, it certainly got some of the confused audience members talking about this band. Perfect Pussy is currently on tour in support of Say Yes to Love, out now on Captured Tracks.

Please send Us an email (firstname.lastname@example.com ), and be sure to include your name, order number, and a description of the fault.

We'll then assess the fault and advise of the best course of action and options available to remedy the fault under the terms of the warranty.
Please note that the cost of Product(s) supplied includes the original Product packaging. Please ensure you keep all original external and internal Product packaging for warranty purposes.

Woodworm Direct Vouchers
Orders that have been accepted for gift vouchers cannot be refunded under any circumstance. Gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from purchase. Gift vouchers cannot be purchased with any other promotions or discount codes nor do they earn reward points.
Product Reviews
We publish a selection of reviews on Our Product(s). These Product reviews are there to help customers make good buying decisions. However, We do not publish all reviews, and reserve the right not to publish any given review without reason.
Common reasons for not publishing a review include:
- •Inappropriate language such as swear words
- •Rating the Product based on shipping or customer service issues. We want to encourage reviews on the Product(s) themselves, and whilst We agree it's an important part of a buying decision, since different Product(s) will ship on different couriers, it isn't a consistent criteria. Equally if you've had a bad customer service experience, this is specific to your particular order, rather than the Product itself.
- •Bad spelling/grammar – if We can't easily understand the gist of what you are saying, We may not publish the review
- •Mentions of competitors
- •Mentions of a different Product to the one you are reviewing – in most cases this confuses the review when taken out of context, although a like-for-like comparison is acceptable
- •Specific price information – Our prices are constantly changing, of course mention whether it is good value or not, but not a specific price
- •Product not received or Product ordered incorrectly – if you've not received the Product you meant to buy, the review you leave can't be a fair assessment of it
- •Reviews that don't add anything – the reviews are here to help customers make good buying decisions. If a review of a green shirt is "this shirt is green", that doesn't add help, whereas "a very bright green" adds more information
Modification of Terms and Conditions
Woodworm Direct reserves the right to modify Our Terms and Conditions. The modifications will be effective on the date that We post the modified Terms and Conditions on Our Woodworm Direct Websites. The Conditions are intended to be applied retrospectively. Woodworm Direct reserves the right not to provide notice.
Woodworm Direct, or any other associated party, cannot be held responsible or liable for any kind of loss or damage that may result to you, or any other third party, through the use of any Woodworm Direct Product or Website.
The policy excludes the repair of Product(s), which are faulty as a result of a manufacturer's defect; however the Product must remain within the warranty period.
Woodworm Direct does not intend to exclude or limit any type of liability that is protected by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and where subsequently replaced by The Consumer Rights Act 2015.

A series of 5 original, hand-painted, one of one, unique collectible guitars
Each guitar was hand crafted by Nick Pourfard in California, followed by Dalek meticulously hand painting the surfaces, and a final Prisma Guitar clear coat process for protection, longevity and playability. Each of these 5-collectible works of art are 1/1 original pieces, a back plate contains an engraving of Dalek's famous space Monkey, Dalek's signature, the authenticity of 1/1, and the guitars unique serial number. James Marshall, known as Dalek, is an American painter best known for his Space Monkey character. Upon completing art college in the 1990's, he began exhibiting his work and produced stickers and prints of the character in order to encourage further development of his art. 2001 proved to be a significant year in Daleks' career when he moved to Brooklyn, NY. That same year he was drawn to the Boston Museum for a show displaying the works of Takashi Murakami. Realizing that he still needed some sort of articulation when it came to his own art, and finding it within Murakami's, Dalek started his apprenticeship with the renowned Japanese painter, which greatly informed his own studio practice, color mixing and other disciplines crucial to his process today. He has participated in numerous solo and group shows throughout the US, Asia and Europe. He has painted several large-scale murals and completed a variety of commercially commissioned work for companies including Nike, Hurley, American Express, Microsoft, and Instagram. Daleks' work is critically acclaimed, and it has been featured in numerous publications, articles, and magazines such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Juxtapoz, and more.

Acupuncture for Allergies in Port Saint Lucie, FL
Seasonal allergies, also referred to as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, affect millions of people worldwide, particularly in the spring and fall months of the year. Commonly caused by pollen, ragweed and mold, an allergic response occurs when your immune system identifies these triggers as allergens and produces antibodies which release histamines. These histamines are what cause your allergy symptoms including sneezing, increased mucous production, itchy eyes and runny nose.
While traditional medicine aims to block the production of histamines without treating the underlying sensitivity of your immune system, alternative and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches address allergies and the immune system by treating the person as a whole. In particular, acupuncture provides a natural and effective way to restore balance to your immune system in order to help control your seasonal allergies.
Schedule an appointment with a TCM specialist for your allergies. Call (561) 623-9344 or contact Advanced Medical Therapeutics LLC online.
The Fundamentals of Acupuncture
Dating back over 2,000 years, ancient Chinese cultures used acupuncture as a medical modality to treat a variety of health conditions. Acupuncture is based on the theory that qi (energy) flows through your body via meridian pathways. When meridians become obstructed and energy fails to pass through these pathways, disease and other negative health conditions can manifest. Acupuncture needles can unblock these pathways to allow the proper passage of energy, thereby restoring optimal health and wellbeing.
Modern medicine similarly theorizes that acupuncture can stimulate the nervous system to release chemicals and hormones in order to initiate the body's innate healing capabilities. Acupuncture has consistently proven its ability to help with pain, stress and a litany of other medical concerns including allergies.
Acupuncture for Your Allergies
In order to address allergy symptoms, acupuncture aims at unblocking meridians that directly affect your nasal passageways and the immune system so that qi may flow properly. At your initial appointment, you and your healthcare provider will discuss your medical history, current symptoms and your desired results from treatment.
After this brief overview, your healthcare provider will look for places on your body that qi is blocked (points). From there your healthcare provider will insert very thin sterilized needles into these acupuncture points to release the blockage. Heat or electrical current may be used on the needle for additional support.
Most patients describe acupuncture as virtually painless and report an overall calming sensation. Treatment may last up to an hour and multiple sessions may be deemed necessary for optimal results.
A Holistic Approach to Your Seasonal Allergies
In addition to acupuncture sessions, your healthcare provider may recommend additional alternative therapies to further address your immune system and allergy symptoms. These may include:
- Herbal remedies
- Diet modifications
- Change in physical activity
- Nasal rinses
- Changes to the home to reduce allergen exposure
It is important to notify your healthcare provider of any medications you are currently taking that may interfere with acupuncture or any additional therapies. You should not discontinue using any medication without consulting your provider first.
If you are looking for long-term results from an allergy treatment, acupuncture is a natural and effective therapy often supported in both traditional and alternative medical practices.

The Chemistry of Biology: Atomic Theory
Atomic Theory
For biological purposes, the simplest form of a pure substance that retains all of the properties of that substance is an atom. Atoms are also the simplest form of an element. An element is made up of only one type of atom. For instance, carbon is an element. All carbon atoms look the same and they are the only atoms that are carbon atoms. A different atomic structure would be a different atom and therefore a different element. Consult a periodic table for the complete listing of the 100+ elements (for example, pearl1.lanl.gov/periodic/default.htm). All atoms have three components: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The first element, hydrogen, has one proton, usually one neutron, and one electron. (Hydrogen exists in nature as a combination of three isotopes each of which has a different number of neutrons. Normally the most prominent isotope which has one proton is considered.) All hydrogen atoms for the most part look the same.
Protons are a positive charge and along with neutrons, which carry no charge (neutral), are found in the centrally located nucleus of the atom. Electrons are negatively charged and orbit around the nucleus in a three-dimensional cloud of energy levels. The positive-negative attraction (magnetism) keeps the electrons from flying away from the nucleus. Conversely, the kinetic energy (energy associated with motion) of the electron provides it with the energy of movement and keeps the electron from slamming into the nucleus. The balance between these two forces, magnetism and kinetic energy, defines the orbital pathways of all electrons. If a neutral atom loses or gains one electron (or more), such as might happen during a chemical reaction, the resulting atom has an imbalance between the existing charges. This imbalance creates either an excess positive (+) charge, if the atom lost an electron, or an excess negative (-) charge, if the atom gained an electron. Atoms that have a charge are called ions, and they are very reactive and fundamentally important in chemical reactions.

My finest memory from childhood is sailing a kayak my clever brother had made out of plywood and canvas. The sailing adventure was on a lake in Glacier National Park. The wind was good, my beloved dog was tucked between my knees for ballast, and I scooted over the water like a rocket – or so it seemed to an 11-year old.
I have a black and white photo of that event (the world was black and white in those days), and I cherish it greatly even though it's faded.
If you and your little ones still hope to get in a family camping trip this summer and make some memories, there's no time to lose. And with that in mind, let me tell you a bit about the geology of Glacier National. Even if you only visit it in prose, it can do your spirits good while you camp or explore nature in parks in local spots wherever you live across the nation. And what geologists have learned in Glacier National is helping them interpret current tectonic events in the Himalayas and the Andes.
But let's start at the beginning. The rocks of Glacier National are ancient, going back to over a billion years ago. And they are well-preserved. They are sedimentary and show us simple fossils from that ancient time. The fossils are colonial clumps, if you will, of single-celled creatures that lived in the ancient seas. We call them "stromatolites," and they and the chemistry of the rocks in which we find them help scientists understand the climate and atmosphere of that ancient time.
Long after the stromatolites, the rocks were deformed by the great crunch of ancient tectonic plates. This formed an enormous fault called the Lewis Overthrust that moved rocks up to 50 miles laterally. It was all part of the events that helped make the ancestral Rocky Mountains, similar to events happening in major mountain chains in South America and Asia today.
Now fast-forward with me from the ancient part of Earth history to the much more recent Ice Age. This was the period that enormous glaciers covered much of North America. It's my favorite part of history, when woolly mammoths and saber tooth tigers roamed our land.
Glaciers are superb agents of erosion and they made deep, majestic valleys in the ancient rocks now in the Park. It's the steep sides of the valleys that allow us to see the stromatolites and all the other features of the ancient rocks. And it's the deep, majestic valleys that take the breath away and keep people coming back to Glacier National year after year.
Even a casual visitor to America's parks and gardens can learn a lot about Earth history and the Ice Age. In Manhattan's Central Park, for example, some of the rocks show the effects of Ice Age glaciation. Giant blocks of rock moved many miles by glaciers, called "erratics" because they don't belong in the area, are littered around the Park. And the bedrock shows deep striations or grooves carved by the rocks trapped in the glacier as it moved. So even in urban areas, the natural world can speak to us if we are in the frame of mind to listen.
By the way, besides sailing that kayak, another fine event in Glacier National stands out in my mind. Near streams and in the lowlands there were plenty of huckleberries to pick. What can be better than foraging for your own food on summer vacation when you are a town kid used to hot lunches at schools? I owe my parents a lot, I think, in giving me those early memories.
Now that I'm older I realize one reason we made road and camping trips when I was a kid was that spending time away from home in that mode doesn't cost as much as some other means of having a get-away. But the fact that local park visits or camping trips are low budget doesn't mean they are low value.
Seize the day this summer, in our National Parks or someplace closer to home. Picking up rocks or hunting fossils doesn't cost much, and the soul you enrich may be your own.

I have been meaning to do this for a while, I quite often keep things in my collection just because I can't bear to let them go & also keep items that I no longer use or enjoy. I have been trying to get better at letting go & passing these products on to friends & family. Being a beauty addict I review lots of products but there is no way I can keep them all & quite often they're not right for me.
I remember earlier this year Jennie from SailorJennie did a series of Spring Cleaning posts & those inspired me to do a little Spring (Autumn) cleaning of my own. I'm due to move within the next two months so this is a task that needed to be undertaken. There will be a few more of these posts over the coming months but this is the first wave of products I'm letting go of.
Avon Ultra Colour Lip Crayon – This is a pretty glossy pigmented jumbo lip crayon in the shade Carefree Coral. I love the vibrant colour but it has quite a lot of shimmer in it too & when I bought it from the Avon catalogue I didn't know that. I'm not a fan of shimmery lip products and for that reason I just won't wear it & I know someone that will love it.
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Base – This is a light infusing primer and It looks pretty under makeup or I also like to add a few drops to my foundation and that helps my complexion look radiant. I wouldn't say it works particularly well as a primer so I don't use it that way, I stick to using it as a skin illuminator. But I'm passing this along because I have a NARS one that I'm using & also a Clarins one. So before this gets to its use by date I'm passing it along.
Covergirl Eye Enhancers in Urban Basics – This is a palette full of neutral colours, I bought it in America last year but I've reached for it so few times since coming home. I have quite a few palettes with similar shades & that are better quality too. So its time to let someone else enjoy this one, my niece is only young & I think she would love experimenting with these.
e.l.f Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick – I have a few of these & really like the consistency and pigmentation. This one is in the shade Rock Out. I'm quite addicted to eye crayons as they're so easy and effortless to wear. This is a pewter shade with a hint of gold shimmer & its just not getting enough love in my collection. I'm keeping the colours Little Miss Thing & French Lace.
Shu Uemura Pressed Eyeshadow Duo – Light Pink 125 & Soft Pink 155. These are beautiful buttery pigmented shadows but what was I thinking buying Pink, especially as there are 70+ colours to pick from!? I love the thought of wearing these & have tried to make them work but I just don't suit pink & so these will be passed on with a much sadness & I will treat myself to two more neutral colours from Shu Uemura & make sure I use them a lot!
Avon Ideal Flawless Pressed Powder – Its amazing how many powders I have accumulated & this has been languishing at the bottom of my drawer for a few months now. I have 3 powders currently on the go so don't really need this one. This is a great powder & is good for oil control, the packaging is sleek, black and feels luxurious so I know someone will give this powder a lot of love.
NYX Roll On Shimmer* – I was lucky enough to win a few NYX products last year on Twitter & I have a few of these roll on shimmer eyeshadows but this silver one isn't really me. It will be perfect for the Festive Season & will glam up someones look. I know exactly who to pass this on to, Jillian if you're reading this keep any eye out for this coming your way.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer*- I love this concealer & its been getting a lot of love from me but I have a couple of new ones to test out & don't want to risk this going out of date with a lot of product left. This is a great concealer for blemishes & under eyes. It is quite thick so takes some blending. I have heard a few people say this broke them out but I haven't had any issues.
Let me know what you do with unwanted or overspill makeup, do you pass it on or do you find it hard to part with it.
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.
