Top Drugstore Products!

Hey everyone!   
I decided to a post on my top drugstore products as you all seem to enjoy my fashion&beauty posts! These are the products that I always use and have been loving for a while but are still available so if you are interested the details will be in the descriptions by the photographs! Hope you enjoy the blog and that you find some things that you like or find this helpful! :) 
All photos taken on my Nikon COOLPIX P510. © 
This is the TIGI Beadhead Hairspray & it is the shine and smoothing one and it is incredible! It smells so good (weird I know but still!) and it doesn't make your hair sticky or crusty it makes or soft and smell great but still holds the hair in place. It is also a brig out hairspray so it canbe removed purely by brushing your hair! It can be bought from all major drugstores and company stores as well as some hairdressers!
This is the Photo-Ready Consealer by Relon. It is so so good! I use it in place of foundation just on the bits I need to when I do my makeup as it has really good coverage and it blends really easily. It's great for use in photos and I use it loads! It is still on the market it's not limited edition so it can be bought from all drugstores such as Boots and a Relon makeup counter!
This my lovelies is my favorite nail varnish ever! It is an Essie nail varnish in Mint Candy Apple! It's so pretty and great to use in the summer! I was lucky enough to get this free in a magazine I bought a little while ago (who doesn't love a freebie!) but as far as I am aware it is still on sale  so it can also be bought from drugstores especially ones like Superdrug and Boots ! 
Next is the great Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation! I got this around the same time as Tanya Burr and Zoella and I agree with them it is fantastic! It's so nice to put on & so easy to blend and it's not too shiny so it gives a nice finish on the face, it also smells fantastic as well! This is definitely still on sale and is very popular so it is on sale from all major drugstores and Rimmel stands! 
Next up is the thing I use religiously everyday and that is the Clinique Rise Off Foam Face Wash! It is am-a-zing! You apply a bit to your face and wash it off with water and it leaves your face feeling fantastic! It feels so fresh and leaves your skin feeling so soft and is a great spot treatment my skin has improved loads since using this! I think it's still around somewhere so try places like Boots and Superdrug and in sure you'll be able to get hold of it! 
This is the MaX Factor Smokey Eye Effect Pencil! One side is a white draw on eyeshadow which blends really nicely and has a slight shimmer so it great to put on the inner and outer corners of the eye even by itself just for a bit of an eye brightener and the black end is a more blendable eye liner type makeup whic can be blended into the white to make a smokey eye or just used as an eye liner. I absolutely love this and I use this loads it's still on sale and can be bought from all major drugstores and company set ups like the MaX Factor counters! 
This is one of the BEST things ever I own for my hair! It is the Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Matt salt spray! It is so good for when you feel your hair is a bit dull and flat and you just spray it in and fluff it up to get really nice hair that makes you look like your freshly stepped off the beach! It smells really nice and doesn't make your hair mucky or greasy and dries really quickly! If you're looking for a nice salt spray got to any drugstore and pick yourself up a bottle of this! 

These two pictures represent the FAMOUS Lipstick in Shade 6. It is so bright and shimmery and a really lovely color for summer or if you feel like you want to brighten the day with a splash of color! It leaves a really nice finish on your lips and stays on for ages but doesn't stain at all! I'm not too sure where this came from as I was given it at a modeling day I attended but I think it is available in places like Superdrug! 

This next two pictures show my little MAC lipsticks! I know these are incredibly popular with a lot of people! The two I have are both Lustres and the ones I have are Politely Pink and PLINK! They are soft pale pinks and one of them is more orangey nude than the other but are both quite natural looking on the lips and they leave a lovely finish and aren't sticky at all! I'm not too sure whether these are still around but it's worth a shot to look so where's there's a MAC stand have an investigate! 
Last but not least are good ol' Barry M with their nail varnishes! These three I adore as they are such pretty pastel couloirs and are perfect for the summer season coming up! I have them No.2 Pink, No.2 Lilac and No.7 Mint Green! I love these as they dry so quickly and don't chip! These are available from all drugstores so go and check them out! 

Hope you all enjoyed this blog and that you found something you might like to try out and that you like! :)

Dress Haul

Hey everyone!
After a long time of not doing any kind of clothes, fashion, haul posts I decided that I would do one with some of the dress I bought recently. I am not usually one to wear dresses but I've decided lately that I'm going to try out a few and dress them down with some jackets and stuff and I love to go for ones that can worn in loads of different places so here is a small haul of dresses & I will put all the links and stuff for you if you want to purchase any of them yourself, enjoy! :) 

The first dress is a Batman, Comic Bodycon dress which I got from *drum roll* ... Amazon! Yes! I know! Amazon is amazing for cheap but really lovely dresses, it is from the WooWNow collection and I saw this and thought it was amazing! It was only £9.99 and can be worn casually with a leather or denim jacket or dressed up with a pair of heels and some accessories, it's really comfortable and a lovely material and stands out a lot and I really love it! 

The next dress is from a little shop called Oxygen and it's part of their Jolene dress collection. It is black with gold and silver studs on it and like the other one its lovely to wear and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I'd say this is slightly more dressy but can be worn casually if wanted. This was a real bargin on £12:99 and it'll look great with lots of accessories!

The next one is also from Oxygen except its from the Kiah range instead on Jolene, 
it is also sold in the shop Vibe. It was £14.00 and had a loose fitting top with autumn patterns and has a big belt tha can be removed to secure the waist, it also has a right black skirt attacked contrasting to the loose top and looks really nice for a posh meal or a party or something very glamorous although it has a gap for cleavage so if you're not a big fan of boobage get something to go underneath, overall a really lovely dress! 

The next one is from Vibe and it is a maxi dress! It is a cream, nude skin tone color and is very floaty and pretty, it is strapless and has pretty black flowery patterns around the bottom of the dress, it is quite long so it's best worn with some kind of heels whether they're dressy or casual, it can be worn with a little denim jacket or dressed up, it is quite see through but there is a petty coat to cover the private bits so no need to worry! The best part.. It was only £9.99!  

The next dress is from Oxygen and is part of the Nikka range, it a Bodycon dress covered in sequins of loads of different dark colors almost making up an animal print pattern, it's lovely to wear and isn't itchy from the sequins at all as it has material inside it rather than sequins against your skin. It was only £12.00 which is a really great bargin! It's great for going out to a party or a night out with friends! 

The next dress is from H&M in the DIVIDED range, and it's a skater dress/Bodycon that flares out from the waist and its really soft and lovely to have, it can be worn lots being dressed up or down depending on your jacket, shows and what accessories you choose. It's quite tight fitting around the top part but not see through at all. It is white with black down the sides to flatter your figure and it was only £9.99 so I was super chuffed with that find! 

Next is a Bodycon Dress I found in Newlook as part of the normal New Look spring collection. It is a charcoal/ grey color and has graffiti styled writing all over it saying Love. It can be worn all year round as it is thin but has long sleeves and can be dressed up or dressed down depending on your style or where you are going! This was only £14.00 and definitely worth the money! 

The last dress is my favorite! A little dress I found from New Look in the Loves London range. It is black with white/cream lace over the top and a little
Black belt, it flares out at the waist and has little black buttons up the front with a little Peter Pan style black collar and it really reminded me of Zoella and her style and I adore her style so much! It canbe dressed up or down and worn with lots of different things and it was £16.00 it was so worth the money & I love it! :) 

Those are all the dresses guys if you look below you can see all of the dresses and the photos of the labels, hope you enjoyed this blog post! :)

Being Positive

Hey everyone!

Today I thought I would blog about something me and my closest friends have thought about a lot recently and that is the incredibly challenging thing in life especially when you are a teenager and that is...
Being Positive.
 
 
Positivity can be looked upon in many different ways some more positive then negative (see even positivity can have its negatives.) Some people can see it as believing in yourself and trying hard for something that you want, others can see it as just being to happy and never thinking practically (personally I think is a bad way to think of being positive) and some people think that its a great thing and that being positive will give you a much better outlook on life being able to find the good side of everything you face.
 
Especially when you are young in your teens and early twenties and even all the way through life many things can cause you too do one thing that is very common and that is the dreaded way of Over Thinking. Over thinking is when you take very ordinary and normal situtations that you may be in or an trouble you are having and just multiply it by 1000000 in your thoughts and you start to think and imagine that everything is worse that it is in reality. Be honest guys; we all do it right? Lying in bed at night and your brain is in a whirl over a mix of things.
 
People can over think about thing such as:
  • School work/ Exams.
  • Work and other jobs.
  • Relationships/ Relationship troubles.
  • The way they look.
  • Their health.
  • What someone thinks of them.
  • Friendship/ Friendship problems.
                     and so on.
This can often cause someone to have negative feelings or thoughts towards the thing that they overthinking which can put you off whatever the topic may be for ages (trust me I know the feeling and also I am blogging in class right now and the people next to me are looking at me as if I'm mental... oh well never mind them :)

See? I over thought that, they may not think I'm weird although they probably are they may just be having a look at what I am doing as they dont see people doing this type of thing very often.

There are a range of ways to be able to think more positive and to have more faith in yourself:
  • Listen to music that makes you smile (nothing depressing.)
  • Go out and see friends and people who make you smike.
  • Be yourself - if you are yourself you can make yourself happier and feel more comfortable in your own skin.
  • When you find a situation put down all the positives and that way it may make the situation not seem so bad.
  • Take lots of photos and videos. - This is what I use a lot, you are then able to look at them back and see all of the happy memories with people you love and it really does give you a boost.
  • Finally : DON'T WORRY - I know this is so much easier said than done but I promise you worrying just makes everything 100% worse than it needs to be and remember this quote I was told. 
"The majority of the things you worry about NEVER happen."
 
 So next time you're in hard situation think of the positives that can come out of it :)
