Revlon Baby Stick.

Hello everyone! I would just like to say a big big thank you to everyone on twitter, I cant believe that I have just hit 300 followers! Now for some of you that's not a lot but for me it amazing! So basically I would just like to say thank you to everyone who follows me! If you want to follow me on twitter then the links here... click here
And if you want, leave a comment bellow with your twitter and I'll follow you!

So carrying on with todays post I thought that I would do a review on Revlons 'baby stick,' now this product is for both your cheeks and lips, so its a combined product. Now when I saw this on the shelf I was really intrigued to find out what it was like, but I have to say I am so disappointed.

Now normally I always try makeup out on my hand first before I buy it, just to see what its like, but with this product all of the items were all packaged up so I didn't want to open one and not buy it, so I just picked one up, thinking it was going to be great and waited until I got home to try it.

Being the person I am I put it down somewhere and totally forgot where I put it, so it was only the other day when I found it again! So I tried it out for the first time a couple of days ago and it was a complete waste of money, I was expecting to give a tint of colour to both my lips and cheeks, but when i applied it too both my lips and cheeks nothing showed up, it was like i didn't even applied it.

I was so disappointed as it did nothing, but the only thing I could suggest to do is either use it as a highlighter as when you do apply it, it gives off a shining glow which does look rather cute, and then for your lips use it as a lip care product as it adds moisture and softness to the lips.

Thanks again for reading,

a mini haul.

I'm just going to start by saying this month I am not going to be doing an August favourites purely because I have no new products to show you! It would be very boring to read and write if its something that I haven't really taken much interest in this month.

So stopping with me rambling on, I thought that I would do a little haul post all about the things I have bought over the last couple of weeks. I haven't really done one of these type of blog posts in a while so I thought I would give it another go.

For starters I have this Football jersey from Topshop, these kind of tops have been around for a while now and I've wanted one for ages as I thought they were really cool and tied in really well with my fashion sense, so thanks to my mother she went out and got me one as a present! She picked me up one that was mesh, so you could either wear a vest top underneath it or even just a bandeau. I really like this top because of the colours and the way you could wear this. (high waisted shorts, leggings or jeans)

Now these next 3 items of clothing were all purchased from the Primark section in Selfridges, now when I was looking round there section I was coming across some lovely stuff, things that you wouldn't find in the normal Primark store, and still very cheap!

First is this woolly jumper, now I got this because its going into the autumn / winter time and things are going to get a bit chilly (which I am super excited about. ) The reason why I picked this up was because of the colour, its a light blue with little bits of purple and pink which I think is super cute! Now being from Primark I was expecting the jumper to be itchy or uncomfortable but it really isn't!

This is just a plain, deep green top that I can just wear round the house or when I have nothing special to do. I really wanted a top that I could just pair with leggings and some statement jewellery and it would look the part. I really like how it fits on me as its not too big but yet still a baggy top, and also I love how to top is shorter at the front and longer at the back, it adds a little bit more style to a basic top.

Then my last thing from Primark was this grey top with little studs going around the opening of the arm. This top reminds me of a very similar one from Topshop, and I was lucky because I was actually going to buy the one from Topshop but I decided that I shouldn't, so when I came across this one which is at a much better price, I had to snatch it up! This is again just a plain, sweet top that you could match with most things!

This too was another present off my mum which I wasn't expecting at all, when I went into the Victoria Secret shop at the Trafford Centre, I was smelling all the body sprays and I absolutely loved this one, my mum must have picked up on the fact that I was drawn to this spray and bought it me! I was over the moon when she gave me, 'Coconut Passion' is a smell that I could smell and smell all day long, and being priced at £11, I will definitely be making some more purchases!

I've also bought a lipstick by MAC called Lady Danger which I have already done a blog post on, so if you want to know more about this product that carry on scrolling down!

I feel like I have rambled on to you there but thank you for reading, and very soon I will be posting all about my back to school supplies and what I have bought for the back to school period. To be updated don't forget to follow me on Twitter / bloglovin' and even on my blog too!

Don't forget to leave a comment to tell me what you guys thought!
Thanks again,

JuJu Jellies - A blast from the past

JuJu jellies are a blast from the past as a lot of people these days are wearing these shoes as a fashion statement, so after seeing the mad rave about them I decided to go out and buy some a little while ago.

 

In my opinion I love them, I think there unique and a little bit quirky, wearing these with some frilled socks really make the shoes stand out. At first I was going to buy the silver glittery ones but I thought I would go for the original Black ones, which was a good choice as they go with more and it is easier to pair up with things.

People might think that you might get sweaty feet in them (disgusting I know) but I only wear mine with socks so I wouldn't know, but after doing some research I have found that a lot of people have said that there feet weren't sweaty at all due to the sandal style which lets your feet to breath.

Also which is great about these shoes is the heel, the heel is at a comfortable height which wont make your feet ache which is essential in shoes! There really easy to walk in too, so you don't need to worry if you'll be walking long distances.

What is your opinion on these shoes as I know people don't get them?

Liebster Award - Round 2

So too my astonishment I have been nominated once again for the Liebster Award thanks too: http://mystyleanthology.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/liebster-blog-award.html . Go check her out as she has some great blog posts that you should all go and read!

 
So if you don't already know what the Liebster Award is about or what you have to do, go to my other post to see the information, also where you can see me answering some questions that were given too me. click here
 
So shall we begin?
 
Questions:
 
1. When did you start blogging?
 
Well, to be honest I haven't been a blogger for a while, I started back in May this year but its only been recently where I've really been into it all.
 
2. What is your most exciting part of blogging?
 
The most exciting part for me about blogging is when someone says something positive about your blog, it makes me happy knowing that someone, even if its just a couple of people, are reading and liking my blog.

3. What are 3 of your favourite hobbies (beside blogging!)?

Well you probably won't know this but I'm a dancer, I do a little of contemporary and then street. My second hobby would be netball, I play Goal Attack for the school team and that's probably the one sport in school that I love playing. Then finally I would definitely have to say shopping, I don't think that any beauty and fashion bloggers don't like a little bit of shopping every now and then, right?!

4. What is your favourite season?

Ooh this is a hard one, its either between Summer or Winter, I love Winter because of the nights in by the fire and the fact that its near Christmas, but I think that I would have to say Summer just because everyone in Summer seems to be more chilled and relaxed, also the warm weather (that's if England has any!!)

5. Who is your idol?

I don't know if you mean celebrity or not so I'll just interpret it myself! I would have to say my sister, me and my sister I think have a great bond, she's 19, 20 soon and I'm 14, were not a similar age but we still get along so well, we tell each other everything and I love her to pieces!

6. What is the one thing you cannot live without?

This is an easy one, CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!! If you didn't know already, I have a crazy obsession with chocolate biscuits, (weird I know) all my friends and family make a joke about it but there just so delicious!

7. What is your top tip for new bloggers?

If you love blogging and all aspects off it then don't give up, sometimes you might think that nobody is reading or taking any interest in it but it all takes time.

8. What is your favourite TV show?

I can't just choose one so it would have to be 'Made In Chelsea', I love knowing the gossip and what's happening in peoples love life's, and then i looove 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' they have to be my favourite celebrity family, all of them are just so funny and great to watch, both shows get me hooked!

9. What is your favourite song?

Well as my friend Chloe ( candlesandcurls) said in her blog post, my favourite song is young and beautiful by Lana Del Rey, its just so powerful and heart warming to listen too! I listened to it that much that I even got her liking it too! As you can tell its a very attaching song!

10. What is your favourite blog post you have written?

Uhm I would have to say my first ever post 'Foundation Face', it was the first time I had written a proper post and I was so pleased with myself!

11. What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Well a couple of days ago I wrote on twitter that I didn't feel like anyone was reading my blog, and I don't know his full name but http://www.stylishengland.blogspot.co.uk/ gave me a link to a blog which was telling me about dealing with success and failure, and this post truly changed my mood! There were some really good advice given and really helped me! Go check out her page here!

As I have already written a Liebster Award post before, I thought that I wont nominated again as a lot of people have already been nominated! So thanks again for nominating me, it was lovely too find out again!

liebster award

Hey everyone! So I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Paige Bond ( pb-beauty.blogspot.com ) thank you very much by the way, go check her blog out, she has some amazing posts! For those who don't know the Liebster Award is given to up coming bloggers with less than 200 followers, it's a great way for fellow bloggers to interact and find out more about each other! 

There are certain rules you have to do for this award though..

1. The person who tagged you in this has to give you 11 questions for you too answer on your blog.

2. Then you have to create some questions yourself.

3. And with those 11 questions you tag 11 people to answer them:)

got it?ok, let's go!

Liebster questions:

1. Who is your fashion or beauty inspiration?

I'd say that Alexa Chung really inspires me as she is one of my role models in the fashion industry. Her fashion sense really appeals too me and I take good interest in her.

2. What is your current favourite fashion or makeup trend?

 Well I love rolling up my jeans or leggings and wearing some trainers (my favourite are my Nike air force or Addidas gazelles) I think it gives it quite a casual look.

3. If you had to choose, what is your favourite makeup brand (drugstore or high-end)?

My favourite makeup brand has to be MAC, its just really good quality and even though it can be quite expensive, it is definitely worth it!

4. If you could have 3 beauty products for the rest of your life, what would they be?

A must have for me would have to foundation, purely because it covers up all your blemishes and makes you look a lot more presentable, then mascara because my eyelashes are very small and a little bit of mascara really opens my eyes up. Then finally it would have to be some kind of lip product, you've got to make sure your lips are in good condition and are moisturised especially during the Autumn/Winter time.

5. What made you start blogging?

Well I am a huge fan of my sisters blog, I loved reading hers and watching her put it all together and because I thought it looked amazing I just thought why not, there's nothing really I could loose from it.

6. What's your favourite thing about blogging?

My favourite part is getting to talk to other bloggers who have the same interest in me, its great to know that there are so many people my age that have the enthusiasm for fashion and beauty like me!

7. On average how long does it take you to get ready?

Uhm probably about 1 and a half hours, that's washing my hair, applying my make-up, styling my hair and having to choose an outfit.

8. Where is your favourite place to shop for make-up (in-store or online)?

My all time favourite place to shop for make-up is Selfridges, there's just so much selection you can choose from and you will always find something you love. But I also love my local Superdrug or boots which also have a good selection of drugstore products.

9. Where is your favourite place to shop for clothes (in-store or online)?

I'm obsessed with Topshop of course, who isn't? And I also think that American Apparel really suits my dress sense, but for me some of the clothing items are a little pricey for what I can afford but its always nice to spend a little money every now and then.

10. What beauty products do you splurge on?

I have a little obsession with lipsticks, don't think I can go a day without putting some colour on my lips, so yes I would have to admit I do splurge on lipsticks quite a lot.
 
11. What is your ultimate dream/goal for your blog?

I hope that people read my blog and enjoy it, they find something in common with me and want to read my blog frequently.

I heart summer tag.

Its getting towards the end of summer here in England so I thought that I just had enough time to squeeze this post in. I really wanted to do the I heart summer tag because summer is my favourite season and as its ending I kind of wanted to evaluate over the summer which I have loved! Hope you enjoy!

1. What's your favourite summer nail polish?

Well I do love a nice pink but I also love a minty green, its a hard one but I think that even putting colours together makes it look really summery and unique!

2. What's your favourite lip colour?

For me I always love a bright pink (been loving chatterbox by MAC) but I recently discovered that subtle oranges also look really summery and cute.

3. What's your favourite summer accessory?

Its got to be a pair of shades, there's nothing worse than having the sun in your eyes!

4. What's your favourite body spray or perfume?

I looooove the Hollister sprays in summer as they are a really fruity, sweet smell but I do also love 'Love Struck' by Vera Wang.

5. What's your favourite thing about summer?

Obviously for me its not going to school and doing lots of work but I also love just chilling and not having to worry about school work. Its been great just waking up when I feel like it and relaxing.

6. What's your favourite summer trends?

My favourite summer trend this summer for the day time has to be a pair of high waisted denim shorts with a cute top, its really casual and looks so cute! Then for a night time outfit I'd have to say a light skater dress with a pair of wedges, looks great!

7. What's your favourite summer snack?

Well this snack I love all year round is Ice-Cream, I am a crazy Ice-Cream lover!! So yes my favourite summer snack, its just so delicious!

8. What's your favourite summer drink?

I'm obsessed with the vanilla cooler from costa, its just so refreshing and delicious!

9. What's your favourite summer song?

Even though I'm not a 'directioner' I love their new song 'Best song ever,' its so uplifting and really gets me in a happy mood.

10. What is your favourite 'I heart summer tag'?

As being a follower of hers on twitter I loved Kayleigh Johnson post on it...
