30 Day Snap: Day 30

Oh my its the very last day and to be honest the whole experience has been harder than I thought. but I hope you liked it and maybe ill do more life posts (but not every day). I found it hard because I don't think my everyday life is very exciting I mean I'm still in school and that takes up a good 5 and half hours.

Anyway today I went to the park there was a mini gathering/music thing and it was a BEAUTIFUL day so why not !!!

Oh well its been a good journey we have come on and i do hope you have enjoyed it.

Soap and Glory Thick and Fast mascara: Review

I think that this is one of my favourite mascaras. Normally when mascaras say they give volume they make your lashes all clump together and look yucky. But this absolutely does not do that. it makes you lashes look longer and more full and SUPER black.


Normally I go for brown mascaras but I knew I liked the formula so I went for it. This is £10 which isn't too bad especially for a great make and a great formula.


Soap and glory has always been one of my favourite brands with there yummy smells and fun products. And this product lives up to the expectations.


The brush looks like this which I like because it doesn't make your lashes clup but fan out and still make the product easy to apply. I wouldn't say the formula was particularly wet or very dry which i like and after it is on your lashes it doesn't feel heavy.

This is a before and after picture:

I would defiantly say you should try this out if your partial to some super black thickening mascara.

QOTD: Have you tried this? After reading this are you thinking of picking it up?
Do you like these reviews is there anything else you want to know?

May Favourites:

I know very well that both loads of other people and myself say every month "wow this month has gone past by so quickly" But again I really mean it.

I feel as though this month I've both tried a lot of things. And bought a lot and I guess it's time to tell you my favourites. So here we go =]

I went into Primark and at the till I found this. I love the colour and I think it's a good colour for a neon blue as I haven't seen many neon blues around.
Angelica nail colour -Ibiza summer-  £2.50

from the brand MUA (exclusive to superdrug) I picked up this glitter liquid eye liner. I have been loving it as it dries quite quickly so you don't get glitter all over your eye but it doesn't flake of to look yucky. This gives a nice amount of glitter. It has a nice wand that is flexible and bends to your eye? and I've really been liking it.

Don't judge me I did buy this in Poundland but who cares. It's in date and I haven't seen it in any shop. I love this mascara and feel sad that I don't know where to buy it again. Most mascaras that say 'volume' clump all your lashes together and just look awful but this seems to make my lashes look longer and just more full and i think it makes my face look happier. I dunno it just does.


I have loved this glitter top coat it gives a nice amount of glitter that lets the underneath colour show through.
Miss Sporty Sparkle touch -Glitter ball (I think) -  £2.99


And in TV I have really been loving the apprentice... I have to confess that the apprentice is defiantly one of my favourite shows on TV even though I know a lot of people don't like it. Not only has the new series started but I've been loving watching old episodes too (ones that at the time they were on I was too young).
I love seeing how its changed and how people have changed.

QOTD: What products have you been loving? Have you tried any of these? What do you think about them?

30 day snap: Day 7


Wow this 30 day snap thing really opens your eyes to the things that are happening in your day. Today started off a bit miserable with some rain and that makes me sad. 
But by the end of the day it was rather sunny (even if it wasn't that hot).

* Oh yeah and did you realise it was a Friday this makes the week even better. *
Source: Google
I love inspirational quotes and I'm all about being happy in life, and making the most of every opportunity.

Anatomicals: snog me senseless lip balm review

In my Asos haul I purchased this lip balm for £2.55 (absolute steal), and I have been seriously surprised by it, in a good way. Now I have to make the confession of having a mint lip balm obsession. And I mean that, I've got about 5 different mint lip balms. But lets talk about the anatomical one.

I think there packaging is such fun :)

First off for £2.55 it is such good value lets compare it to a carmex (which I also love) the anatomicals one feels bigger although its apparently about the same size. Now I can just tell that this is going to last me along time as I always have so many lip balms on the go at once. On the back it says that once opened use in 24 months so it lasts for a good 2 years. This pleases me as I don't like products that get useless after a couple of months.
It's minty.... this is almost enough for me to be happy but I love that it feels so light on your lips and leaves a tingly feeling due to the mint.
 Obviously your lips are under your nose so the mintyness smells amazing for quite a long time.

I like the applicator on this (as you can see its an angled applicator) compared to the carmex.

I like its liquidyness (can't think of a better word) because it makes it super easy to apply and absorb.

I would defiantly buy this again and want to try the 'stop cracking up lip balm' also by 'Anatomicals'.

'Anatomicals' is one of my new favourite brands with such fun packaging and fun names for everything. And i'm already looking into other products from them.

QOTD: Do you have anything from Anatomicals? Do you like it? Any suggestions for me?

The 30 day snap:

I read a post by Sprinkle of glitter, and I loved the idea. She said we were all welcome to have a go ourselves and I'm taking her up on that option.

So here is her post explaining it in detail. But the simple idea is that you upload 1 picture a day in June to document it. This sounds like fun and will encourage me to take photos due to June being a busy month for me (birthday time). 

There may be more than 1 a day, and I may or may not tell the story behind it (but I probably will). 

I would love to see you have a go at it and I hope you enjoy watching me through June. 

***And be sure to let me see your photos. leave a comment down below.***

Yes to carrots: super rich body butter

I was given a mini sample set of 'yes to carrot' products for Christmas and I have been loving them... I have done a review on the lip balm so you can go and check that out. But now for the moisturiser. dun dun dun.

Before we even begin I have to say I LOVE this and I think it is soooooo lovely that I have already ordered another one (full size). You are meant to put it all over your body but I just put it on my face.


This is mostly used up now I just thought i would show you how much I have left
I don't use this every day, I tend to use it every now and then before I go to bed (on the days when my skin feels sad). I always use it after the shower and when I wake up the next morning my face feels so soft and just lovely. This soaks in really well and it smells amazing. In fact my mum came into my room after I had used it and asked 'what that lovely smell was' and I just love how soft it makes my skin and hydrated my face feels. Also I feel as though when my face feels this soft I feel more awake and ready to go.

You only need a bit. A bit here and there goes a long way. My sampler is 50ml and it has lasted me for about 6 months and a full size is £10-13 and 250ml so about 5 times the size. Yay
*I would definitely suggest for you all to go and buy it so go now. =] *

QOTD: Have you tried it? Will you? What is your favourite face cream?

A day in the life?

**This is a chatty post you have been warned**

Before we start this isn't really a day in the life, it's more of a post about other peoples lives... (if that even makes any sense at all)

For the past year I have to admit that I've been really into both vloggers and bloggers, hence me starting my own blog. And to me there lives always look so put together and almost perfect. (Do you ever feel like that?)

And I almost feel a bit bad about my life... especially on the days when nothing goes right and somehow I always seem to feel ill on those days to round everything off.

I don't even know what this post is, but I guess it's just to make anyone that may feel a bit down, well better and to just tell anyone who is reading this to remember that EVERYONE has down days even the people who's lives look perfect whether that is on screen on in real life.

QOTD: Do you ever feel down when you see other peoples lives looking so perfect?

March Favourites


Hello, it’s that time of month it’s the beginning of April and I’m going to do my first monthly favourites so here we go:
Throughout March I have loving several things and I am just desperate to share them with you…
  •     Hair bows – I love these, and to be honest with my crazy hair they really help. I’m able to have it out but control it at the same time. These are great because you can just pick up the front part of your hair and scoop it back and clip it up, it literally takes me seconds and looks really fun.I have loads of these in various colours. The white lace one I got from Claire’s in a sale for £2 and the red/purple/blue/black coloured one I made myself from a piece of material and it’s one of my favourite.                             
  •     Mini eggs – who doesn't love a bit of chocolate? And for me I’d be happy eating no other chocolate but these. It’s a shame they only do them at Easter (even if easer apparently starts in January). These yummy egg shaped chocolates are amazing and I would happily eat them all yummy.

  •     Revlon nail polish in 990 – One perfect coral- I love this colour and I’m so glad I found it. I picked this up in a charity shop although it was brand new (you know when you can just tell) anyway it was only £1 which is even better. It’s a neon coral colour which is great for summer/ spring and I’m really looking forward to wearing this.
  •      Natural collection eye liner – I use the black colour and sometimes the brown and I really enjoy this product. It’s really cheap, I think it’s about £1.99, but it’s great and it lasts a really long time. It’s a creamy formula which is good as the last thing you want is something pulling on your eye. I would defiantly recommend this to you so go check it out for yourself.

So I think that’s it for this month. I won’t bore you to death, but I will defiantly be back next month to share some more products with you.
