Hi everyone! This isn’t usually something I’d do as I very rarely read but as I’ve been away I’ve had time to read some books and Louise Pentlands book was one of them!
I have really enjoyed reading this book, it’s great to read sections when you need/are appropriate to you or you can read the whole book straight through (which I did). She covers a variety of topics making it suitable to a vast audience – however I could see the age range this book is targeted to is probably 10-18 however I think people of all ages could enjoy this book nevertheless. I think Louise has done a great job with this book and her personality is reflected throughout. There are some funny little stories that she includes which I don’t think she’s shared anywhere else; exclusives!
Overall I’d recommend this book as it was an enjoyable read and I really enjoyed it!
Hi everyone! I thought I’d just share my all time favourite eyeshadow pallete with you. I absolutely adore the variety of colours, without them being too extreme. The pallete which has become my all time favourite is the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I know it’s rather pricey for a pallete (£38) but I think it’s defiantly worth it considering they are highly pigments with a variety of shades both matte and shimmery. I don’t usually use particularly creative and colourful eyeshadows, I mainly just use a more neutral pallete so this is perfect for me. I use this pallete every single day therefore I can justify the purchase. I’ve included a couple of photos so you can get an idea of the colours.
However I understand many don’t want to spend lots of money on make up therefore I’ve also found a drugstore version which I’ve also tried and tested; the Sleek Storm eyeshadow pallete. The colours in this pallete are highly pigmented and it is a great dupe for the Naked 2 pallete. I hope some of you find this helpful!
I thought I’d review the Clinique 3 step anti-blemish set. I have really enjoyed using these products and I feel it has given me a good foundation to try and get my skincare regime under control. Before I had no real structure with skincare and no consistency; desperately trying multiple products to try and clear my acne.
I have tried endless numbers of products from every price range and have even been prescribed antibiotics in hope to clear my skin; every single one failing to some extent. I have found the Clinique 3 step to be one of the more successful products; it most definitely helps keep my skin under control and helps prevent breakouts. However I also cut dairy out of my diet at the same time as I started using Clinique so it may be a due to that too. I have used these products for a month now and I will be repurchasing them as I think they’re definitely worth the money. The face wash is suited to sensitive skin as it doesn’t inflame your skin at all like others can. I think the toner is also beneficial and this was a new step for me as prior to this I didn’t use toner, however as part of the 3 step I feel it plays an important part in ensuring a path to clearer skin. The moisturiser is light and doesn’t clog pores; which is a must for me. The products don’t dry your skin which is surprising for acne treating products. I think this really helps as if products dry your skin out excessively your skin tries to produce more oil due to this hence possibly causing a breakout.
Overall I’m very happy with the products from Clinique and I’d highly recommend them. I know how difficult it is having problematic skin and all you want is for something to help. My skin is by no means clear, but I’d say it’s progressively getting better and for me that’s a step in the right direction! Hope this helps some of you!
After a rather unproductive morning of revision, me and my friend decided to pop out for lunch. We thought we’d give Carluccio’s a try as we’d never been here before and fancied something slightly different from Pizza Express or Nandos despite how tasty they are!
With only a small appetite I decided to have a salad (trying to be healthy too!) I went for the Niçoise salad which was lovely despite the anchovies and had had a side of verdura fritta which were slightly too salty for my liking. My friend had the starter chicken liver pate as a main, which she enjoyed and a rather pathetic caprese side consisting of one lonely basil leaf, tomato, mozzarella and black olives.
Overall it was a nice meal however we decided we probably wouldn’t be returning but enjoyed the overall experience. I’ll try remember to photograph next time!
LUSH HAPPY DAZE REVIEW
I recently went out and purchased the Lush Happy Daze gift set so I’d thought I might as well review it! The gift box contains 4 items; Granny Takes A Dip, Brightside Mini, The Comforter Mini and Fizzbanger.
First of all the bath bombs; Granny Takes A Dip and Fizzbanger. Granny Takes A Dip is a colourful circular bath bomb with a fresh lemon and ginger scent. Fizzbanger is a bright yellow bath bomb with a citrus scent.
This set also included 2 bubble bars, Brightside and The Comforter both in mini versions which are adorable! Brightside has a strong lemon and orange scent with is one of my favourites, so I’m super excited to use this. The Comforter is an all time favourite of mine, with the sweet blackcurrant scent.
I will post pictures as and when I use them to show how they turn your bath into a magical heaven!
