Favourite Youtubers

Hi everyone! I’m sorry its just a short post today but I still really wanted to post so I thought I’d blog about what I spend most of my free time doing… watching Youtube! I love youtube so today I thought I’d share my top 5 youtubers and why I love them!

• Zoella – need I say anymore! I love Zoe, she seems like the sweetest person and I love all of her videos as I’m beauty obsessed. I also am really happy that Zoe has restarted her blog as I love reading all her posts!
• Sprinkle of glitter – Louise is by far my favourite youtuber! She’s so kind and sweet and I love all the confidence she shows and gives to others!
• Gabriella Lindley – she’s seems by far the most down to earth youtube and I love that about her! 
• Emma Blackery – I love the variety of channels Emma has – always something to watch! I even find her gaming videos funny even though I don’t usually watch gaming channels. Her lifestyle channel is also one of my go to channels! 
• Tanya Burr – being make up obsessed I always find that I love watching all of the different looks that Tanya creates as I love trying to recreate the look!

Girl Online -Zoe Sugg//Book review

Hi everyone! I’m brining you another book review today, again by another YouTuber. After really enjoying Louise and Marcus’ books I decided to buy Zoe’s. 

Overall I really enjoyed Girl online and it was really nice that you could see how Zoe had reflected herself in the character Penny. I think the book was a bit predictable however I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it was great that Zoe covered mental health in the book and learning to deal with it in a positive manor. As such an influential person I was really glad to see that she incorporated anxiety and panic attacks to show people that they’re not alone and help reduce stigma towards mental illnesses. I am really looking forward to Girl online on tour as I’m very interested to see where she will take the storyline and I will defiantly be preordering it! 

Have any of you read Girl online? If so what did you think of it?

Hello Life – Marcus Butler//Book review

Hello everyone or should I say heeeellloooo (me trying to do a Marcus impression and failing miserably) anyways I have another book review for you of Hello life – Marcus Butler.

I LOVED this book so much! Marcus covered some really interesting topics and I loved his healthy eating topic and about his body transformation. He really has inspired me to eat healthy and not to worry about calories but look at the nutrition. What nutrition am I giving my body by eating this? If the answer is none, then don’t eat it! He gives great tips about foods to eat and their benefits making it really easy to know how to go about a healthy lifestyle.

As well as healthy eating he also goes into 3 different topics; the dating game, friends and family survival guide and how to get the life you want. Every section I enjoyed however I found the healthy eating section most helpful. He includes little stories about his life and shares his experiences with the readers. I think this book is great to keep on your bookshelf and to look back on as and when you want to. I really think Marcus has done a great job of this book and I think it makes a great read to a wide audience – from teens to adults.  

Have you read Hello life? What are your favourite books at the moment? Let me know in the comments below, I really appreciate it!

The perfect smokey eye pallete

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!   

  

Clinique 3 step anti-blemish

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! 

Lush Happy Daze Review

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!
