Altogether I have 15 perfumes, which doesn't sound like that much to be fair, I want more! Lol I love celebrity perfumes, but I also love random ones, and high end branded ones.

Product Review - Topshop Powder Blush

I'm not a huge wearer of blush, I think I have enough pink in my cheeks that I dont even need to wear any at all, unless I go full coverage, but that doesn't stop me from buying it and as soon as I seen this one in Topshop, I fell in love.

I only have one other blush from Topshop and it's a cream blush called Afternoon Tea, and even though I love it... I prefer this one more. This one is in the shade Good Girl and is a beautiful baby pink shade. It's not chalky or excesively powdery and the pigmentation is wonderful. It also has a slight shimmer to it so it's really flattering when applied and helps to illuminate the look of your skin. It's now my new favourite blush for summer.

I also love the packaging of Topshop products, it's just really simple, white and black - you can not go wrong with that 

Topshop is quite an expensive brand so I wasn't surprised to find that their make-up would also be around the same price range and Bourjois or L'Oreal etc, but it is definately worth the money, I love love love it :)

Product Review: Dream Lumi touch Concealer by Maybelline

I'm on the fence about this product, the reason I picked it up was because I wanted to try a new highlighting concealer for around the eye area and what have you - but I was a little disappointed and a little pleased. 

What I liked...

Firstly I like the packaging, it's short, sweet and simple with a twistable bottom and a brush tip. I like when concealers have brush tips especially for under the eyes, it means there's less hassel and less mess, which is a big yay in my book.

I also like the covering power of the concealer - it gives quite good coverage for under my eyes which is a must for me, I like to have bright healthy looking skin around my eyes which this concealer does.

I love, how it adds a luminescence to my undereyes (clues in the name) - it gives a nice healthy glow without being too obvious or fake looking. 

What I don't like...

I only disliked one thing, and that was the fact it didn't highlight under my eyes - it just, as I said before added a luminescence to the area, I wanted to make the area a shade brighter just to really highlight and define it - but this concealer just didn't carry it out. Which is disappointing because it states it's a highlighting concealer, sad face. 

But I do like this product for the reasons I mentioned before and I may repurchase it when it runs out :)

Book Review - Teardrop by Lauren Kate

Never, Ever Cry …

As I loved the Fallen series by Lauren Kate, I knew I had to get this because if Fallen was any indication to Lauren Kate’s ability to write an awesome book – Teardrop had to be just as good if not better.

And it was just as good, if not better. This is the first book I’ve read which has been a retold version of the Atlantis Myth, obviously I wasn’t expecting it to be exactly the same, what’s the point in that? So I was pretty excited about seeing what she could do with it. Granted I don’t know all that much about Atlantis, but sure lol. 

The first thing that drew me in was the cover – I thought it was beautiful and it captured me immediately. I also loved the one line blurb, even though there is a description on the inside sleeve, but, like I said with Awaken, it just draws me in and make me so interested in finding out what it means and what’s going to happen.  

The overall plot of the story was really good. I honestly didn’t expect that to be the story which made it an even better read – she really made it interesting and added quite a bit of mystery to the story as well and along with the characters she created, it made it a really good read.

Eureka and Ander are the main characters – Eureka is kind of closed off – she doesn’t like to let people get too close to her after what happened with her mother, but she is also smart, funny and strong and will do what it takes to protect the ones she loves. Ander is mysterious, strong and really interesting. He doesn’t reveal too much of himself and that just makes you want to get to know him more or get him to talk more – which made the story quite fun in a way – a wee bit of mystery never done any harm. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to see what happens in Waterfall, the next instalment of the series :)

Book Review - Awaken (Abandon Trilogy #3) by Meg Cabot

A storm is coming.

I must say, I love when books have these one lines for blurbs - not only does it make me desperate to read the book - it adds a certain spice to a book, not knowing what's going to happen so you don't have the luxury of guessing or anticipating what way it will end. 

It does have the blurb on the inside of the cover though - but Im not going to tell you it.. *evil laugh*

This book for me was like a clock in the sense that - something big was happening and throughout each chapter it was counting down and the apprehension was growing - which I loved! It made me so interested in finding out what was going to happen.

The plot in this book, it based around the furies - they know John broke the rules, twice, but no one knows when or how they're going to strike - it was at a really good pace, it didn't drag but it wasn't over within the first three chapters. All of the characters are back also which is awesome - Pierce and John are working through their relationship which adds a bit of romance to the story, there is also some humour and some moments of anticipation which really keeps you intrigued and turing the pages.

I also loved the cover of the book. This is the first cover were you can see some resemblence as to what John looks like, obviously you have a picture in your head but it's always nice to have a picture to refer too, and a face to put name too.

I can't think of anything negative to say about this book.... Overall it was a really good read which I recommend :)

Review - Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer

The first time I ever seen this product was when I my sister bought it a few years ago and I absoloutely loved it. I use to use it on her all the time, which she didn't appreciate but sure, haha. I've wanted my own ever since then and it has taken me this long to eventually buy it, shame on me. 

What I like...

1. The Packaging - the packaging is really simple, and easy to use/open. It's not incredibly big so I would be able to take it with me in my bag which I really like. I also love the fact that the bronzer looks like chocolate, it really adds to the product and was one of the first things I loved about it.

2. The Product - It smells devine, it looks awesome and is a wonderful colour on my skin, the payoff is also really nice, a little goes a long way and its also very easy to blend. 

3. The Price - it's not extremely dear for a drugstore brand but it is up there with the likes of L'Oreal etc etc, but it is definately worth the money in my opinion. It's £8.99 from Superdrug.

What I Dislike...

I don't dislike anything! I love this product and it is definately my favourite bronzer.

Small Haul

I recently decided to treat myself to a few new goodies as I haven't really had the money to spend but as my holiday etc. is all paid off, I thought why not :)

The first things I got are from Tescos. As I'm going back to college I decided to get a few bits just to start the new year off with some new goodies. The first is a Diary for 2014/2015. I wanted a new diary for a while but when I seen this I just had to get it. It's not overly big, its about an A5 size maybe just a tad bigger and it's also quite thin which I love - this was on sale for only £2.50. The next thing is a note pad with dividers. I love these kinds of notepads especially in my subject there are a lot of different units so it really comes in handy, this was also only £2.50. I then decided to get a pencil case and when I seen this owl one, I literally ran for it, its so adorable I couldnt put it down - this was £4.00. And lastly I decided to get the very well known book, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - so many people have talked and raved about this book and the film and as it was only £3.85 - I had to get it.

 I then went to Superdrug and picked up a few items. Firstly I got three Bourjois products as they were on a 3 for 2. I got the Chocolate Bronzer in the shade 52, I got the Healthy Mix concealer in the shade 51 and a Lipstick from the Rouge Edition range in the number 02. I'm so excited to try these prodcuts out and I'm going to do a review on all these also.

I then got the Fit Me foundation in the shade 120 and the Dream Lumi Touch concealer in the shade 01 by Maybelline - I love this foundation, it was a past favourite of mine before I started to use the Bourjois Happy Light foundation - so I thought i would go back to an old fav. 

Lastly I got a blusher from Topshop - this is a powder blush and is in the shade Good Girl which is a really beautiful baby pink colour.

Lastly I had to get new wax as I had ran of my other one - this time I decided to get a cream wax rather than the honey as I personally prefer it - and I got it in Fruit Smootie as it's a really pretty pink colour and it smells delicious.
