Book Review - Hereafter Trilogy by Tara Hudson

So I have just finished this trilogy and it was amazing! 

Amelia has been dead and wandering the streets and High Bridge for as long as she can remember - she has no idea of what her life was like, if she had a family, how old she was. No one can see her or hear her pleas for help... she wanders alone, until one night, she has a nightmare, except she wasn't the one drowning. 

From there, Amelia and Joshua, who was the boy that was drowning - become friends, and even more - until the forces of the Netherworld come to claim her and will do everything in their power to make it happen - including killing the people she loves. 

Amelia and Joshua go through an awful lot throughout this series, from trying to help Amelia remember who she was, to maintaining their relationship, to saving their loved ones and conquering the Netherworld - but they work through it and make an excellent team.

Amelia is a strong woman and speaks her mind - but is also kind and thoughtful. She is very open with Joshua throughout the series about her problems and what's on her mind - and Joshua knows her well enough to when something is on her mind or bothering her.

Joshua is also a great character - he's funny and smart, caring and loving. He loves his family, even his younger sister who may sometimes be a pain in his *** trying to maintain her good, popular image. He helps Amelia throughout the entire series even though he's putting his own life on the line.

This is an amazing love story, with an exceptional ghostly twist and I will admit, a few tears were shed at the end - it's fast paced and will get you hooked from the first few pages and if you're like me and have to read until the very end and endure everything that the pages throw at you... then you will love this book! I highly recommend it and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Review - Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation

I got this foundation a few weeks ago in Superdrug. The packaging immediately caught my attention - it was simple but yet colourful and bold. I bought it for £10.99, which isn't that bad, but it is a step up from Rimmel and the shade was 51 Vanilla.

There are three pigments within the foundation, each of which correct imperfections

1. Yellow pigments - to correct dark circles

2. Mauve pigments - to correct a dull complexion

3. Green pigments - to correct redness

It also states to give a Flawless complexion for up to 16 hours. 

So to get started on the review - the foundation is a nice consistency, though you will have to shake it before use to thicken it as it was quite watery when I first tested it. I would say it has a medium but build-able coverage as it did help hid my dark circles and added some brightness to my complexion, but as I have quite a lot of redness on my cheeks I had to add more foundation in order to correct it.

I didn't wear the foundation for up to 16 hours as I was only busy for about 3 or 4, but in that time the foundation still looked as good as it had when I first put it on, granted a bit wore off around my nose due to scratching etc. but that's to be expected. 

I would recommend that if you have oily skin you would need to set it with a powder but if you have dry skin then the dewy finish with look great, though you may still want to set with powder along the T zone, or anywhere you may get oily in the hot weather. 

Overall, your getting what you paid for. The foundation is great, gives a nice coverage and a nice finish and would be great for days were you don't want to wear much make-up. It does correct and perfect and I will be purchasing it again :)

ANGELFALL (Penryn And The End Of Days Book 1) by Susan Ee

Angelfall (Penryn and the end of days) was originally a book I had seen advertised on Facebook (of all places.) The first thing that caught my attention was definitely the cover - it's so simple but automatically had drawn me in and made me want to know about the book. I found the book then on Amazon and I had a read at the description and also the reviews. After reading such good reviews and also an amazing description I had to get it! I think I had read it in about 2 days and that was me trying to pace myself but anyway. 

I fell in love with the story... an Angel apocalypse? Who would have thought. 

Penryn is trying to make her through Silicon Valley in order to get to a safer destination, accompanied by her mother and her disabled sister when she witnesses a gruesome battle between the angels. Unusual, yes, and no one knows why the Angels have came to take over the world we know, gangs run the deserted streets and alleys while the Angels run the sky. 

Angelfall is compelling. Penryn's apocalypse is bloody and brutal, humans are turning on each other - not really to the same standard as the Angels but that's no matter, especially if your able to snag yourself an Angel's body part. Luckily though, Penryn is at the hem, who is smart, kind, loyal like no other and also a Martial Arts pro due to her mother's extremely worrying schizophrenic behaviour, and let's not forget about Raffe, the injured Angel who ultimately helps Penryn - these two make an excellent pair!

So overall... this is a fantastic book! I recommend for everyone to read it, even if you are sceptical about magical creatures I guarantee you will love it just as much as I do, and I can't wait for the sequel.

Book Review - The Collector by Victoria Scott

I honestly don't know where to begin about this book... Dante Walker, he's amazing. Like I mean, drool worthy even after just reading the first chapter. He's your typical bad boy from the very start, but gradually as you read you start to see a different side to him. The protective, caring, fierce side.

It's not often that books like this would be written from the males point of view, granted it would alternate every other chapter in some books, which I like, but this book, seeing it from a males throughout was so captivating.. I loved it! 

Dante is sent on a mission to claim a girl's soul, which is no problem for him as he is the best at what he does - which is collecting and sealing souls -so getting one girl's shouldn't be a problem should it? Little does he know that this girl, could tip the scale between heaven and hell.

Charlie is the other main character in the book and she is great. She's smart, funny and caring - so when Dante shows up at her door she doesn't know what to think. Here she is - the geeky, unpopular girl with only two friends - and he wants to hang around with her? Obviously at the start she has her doubts about him, but nonetheless, he treats him like anyone else - with a warm heart and kindness. Eventually however - he offers her something should would never have expected - to make her beautiful, but at a price.

Victoria's story telling also is amazing! Her style of writing captivates you from the very start and  you literally don't want to put it down! Her every detail of the characters and the places leaves you able to image it clearly in your head as if you were truly there, and that is a very hard thing to do.

The Collector is actually going to be a trilogy. The next book is The Liberator and it won't be out until August this year and I can't wait to read it :)

Drugstore Haul :)

So I went shopping yesterday, the main reason was because I just dyed my hair and I wanted to find some new hair care products to help me maintain the shine and softness.
While I was shopping I ended up getting a few other products - don't worry, I didn't get all that much :)

I do have a bit of problem with blackheads, especially around my nose so I  decided to test this out and maybe do a review on it also it it turns out to be good! :)

 I actually purchased the John Frieda shine spray first as it was only £2, but then I seen the Tony&Guy was on sale also for £2 so I decided to get it too... cheeky :)

This was the only hair mask I was able to find in savers.. Dove is a very good brand for their deodorant and moisturiser so I'm hoping this is good! If so I'll do a review.. plus it smells amazingggg! :)

Question

I recently received an email the other day asking about the tattoo on my arm. The question was whether or not I felt as though I was committing copyright and why couldn't I have came up with a quote myself. 

Basically, the first ever books I bought was the Night World series by L.J. Smith and this was when I was14/15. These books were what gave me the desire to start reading because of the imagination and captivation that was in them and when I first read that quote I immediately fell in love with the words. This is because I felt as though I could relate to them, and the story. Yes I took it from the book but there's a difference between copying something because you can or for the sake of it, or taking something you can relate to and learn from. 
Reading that quote, being a girl and also being 14/15, it was nice to see something that was true, yes, no one will live forever including the people you hold dear, no one will stay young and beautiful forever, but no one, including myself will be alone if there's love in my life, and that's what I love most about it :)

I know tattoos aren't everyone's cup of tea, but if its something that you find meaningful and want to remember for the rest of your life, why not?
I was also asked about my other tattoo, my other tattoo is the Celtic symbol for sisterhood. My two sisters and myself got it and I'll have a picture below :)
