one direction this is us review.

Alright alright so I may be a little behind on the one direction - THIS IS US craze as the movie came out in cinemas a while back but because of having a busy schedule, or purely because I just didn't have the money I never got round to seeing it. After friends and friends came back from the cinema buzzing about it I really wanted to first hand experience it myself, but well, it never really happened.

THIS IS US movie front cover.

After pestering my mum and dad about the film for ages she got it me as a present for my birthday which was over a month ago, and it was only last night that I actually sat down and watched it.

I was totally blown away, the film really shows of the boys as just normal bunch of lads who are living the dream, BIG, I really got a glimpse at how human these boys actually are. Human? Well we are constantly shown images of the boys getting attacked by paparazzi and how in the tabloids the boys are always getting made out to be these villains that they truly are not.
If you are not aware (if not having you been living under a rock for the last three years?!) of the work that Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Nial Horran do then they have had a three year rise to fame after coming third on the British programme the X-factor and then shortly after, they got signed by Simon Cowells management. After taking over many of young girls hearts in the United Kingdom there fame suddenly spread to the entire world, countries and countries have fallen in love with the boys music, there personality and awful dance moves. Don't worry that wasn't me slating the boys, they constantly refer to there dad dancing in the film.

If your not a mega fan like me and your avoiding watching I highly recommend it, its such a light hearted film with humour and comedy and a little bit of tear jerker too! Oh and can I say for us girls, there are many times where the boys have there tops off which is always a bonus.

So this isn't a normal post for me but I thought that I would give the boys some support, like they really need it, and encourage you all to go and see the film!

MAC studio fix foundation.

Well I think its safe to say I've been gone a while and I would like to apologise for my absence! Being in year 10 and coming up to my last years in high school life has been very stressful and full packed recently, homework has been none stop and GCSE preparation seems to have all come at once! Nights were I have had no revising or homework to do, which has been rare occasion,s I had no energy and all I wanted to do was chill and watch films I bed! 

But there's only so far you can go without blogging again and so because I have nothing planned for today that I would write my first post for the new year, which is kind of embarrassing as it is now February! But yes, enough with the rambling I may as well get along with it.

Over the past year my daily foundation was the MAC face and body foundation which was implied as more of a tinted moisturisers / BB cream as it didn't have a very full coverage on the face but as I have had a new desire for make-up and started to wear more, obviously my face needs more coverage so a new foundation was in need.

So I got the new MAC studio fix foundation, and oh my goodness it is honestly the best purchase (my mum) has ever bought for me as I got it for Christmas. It has such good coverage but yet feels light and soft of my skin which in my opinion is hard to find in a foundation. The extra adding of SPF was really useful for me when I went skiing in France, it made my face feel hydrated and refreshed and I'm sure that it is going to come in handy again when the summer time comes back around again.
The best way in my opinion to apply this foundation, which is the way I apply mine, is using a flat top brush or sponge, I feel like using a stippling brush or fingers it gives of the cakey look or gives quite a streaky look. Wearing this on a daily basis I have realised that it lasts up to 6 hours which is a normal school day for me, it does start to come off and become a less perfected as the day goes on but that is normal in a foundation right?

The only disclaimer that I can say about this foundation is that it doesn't come with a pump where as most of the other MAC foundations do, but if you desperately want a pump you can buy one, unfortunately I do not know the exact price for this but I'm sure asking at a MAC counter or even on the Internet there will be some guidelines on how much a pump would be.  

So there we have it my first post of the year, which is a little on the late side, but never mind I am back and ready to post more over the next upcoming week!
