Hey guys!

Hey guys! 

So we are having to say farewell to Summer (we'll see you next year!) and hello to Autumn and Winter!

• The Shunned House - H.P. Lovecraft
• Cruel Beauty - Rosamund Hodge
• Half Bad - Sally Green
• The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey
• The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe

Hey guys!

So I have been tagged by the amazing Meg to take part in The Beauty Blogger Tag and I would love to! 

I have been quite busy recently what with college now starting and getting a lot of work to complete, but I will definitely try to write as often as I stated in my FAQ!

Hey guys!

So I was tagged by the lovely Vicki to participate in the Disney Tag which I would love to take part in! Here goes!!




1. What is your favourite movie by Disney?
This is actually a hard one because I love so many of their films! However, for me it would Aladdin, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs or Pocahontas.

2. If you could be any Princess/Prince who would you be? Why?
I have always wanted to be Jasmine from Aladdin because she doesn't let anyone push her around and I have always loved her pet tiger Rajah! Or I would love to be Pocahontas!

3. Who is your favourite character? Why?
Prince Eric or Tarzan! I just can't pick between the two!

4. What is your favourite Disney song?
Strangers Like Me from Tarzan! I think the Tarzan soundtrack is quite underrated!

5. Favourite Disney outfit?
Maleficent! I love her outfit in the 2014 movie as well as the fact that Angelina Jolie has killer cheekbones in the film! Or it would be Cinderella's gown!

6. If you could watch only ONE Disney film for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Aladdin or Alice in Wonderland!

7. Lion King or Jungle Book?
Lion King!

8. What Disney film or films made a big impact on your life? Why?
Definitely The Lion King because it teaches you lessons about life. I especially love the part when Simba runs away and meets Timon & Pumba who both teach him to stay away from his worries (Hakuna Matata). I also have always loved the quote Rafiki states 'Ah yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.'

9. Favourite Disney animal?
Rajah from Aladdin!

10. What Disney movie are you most excited to come out in the future?
I am so excited for the new Cinderella to be released in March 13th in 2015 and Alice In Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass which is due to be released on May 27th 2016! Despite have to wait quite a long time for these movies to be released, I'm looking forward to them!

I hope you enjoyed reading this!

Hey guys!



This post is sort of 'life style' based and as you will of probably guessed, it's about overcoming your insecurities. I have had this saved but not completely finished and not wanting to publish it, but after contemplating for an incredibly long time, I decided to finish it and publish.

Before I properly start, I would like to thank Meg for helping me with this when I struggling to put the correct words together!
At the age of 16, I would be lying if I said I haven't felt insecure at some point in my existence. This has been influenced by watching TV and and growing up with others that surround me. It is very easy to compare yourself to somebody else and it has definitely taken me quite a long time to become comfortable with myself, however, I still get days when my self confidence wavers and this can be due to a number of reasons.

At the end of the day, nobody is perfect and everyone has 'bad days' but over time I have learnt to start feeling more positive about myself and learn to love who I am. After all, you're unique in your own way! You only have one body in this life and you can't change who you are, so why not embrace what you've got and love who you are as a person.





I thought I would share some of my tips for overcoming insecurity which, hopefully, might reassure you!


1. Surround yourself with supportive people. I have done this and I have never felt better! There are only a few people who I can consider as 'close' and I have become closer to people who I didn't think I would be friends with and despite being friends with them for around 1/2 years, I feel as though I can tell them anything rather than tell a friend who I have known for around 11 years! If you feel as though the current people you are friends with are not making you feel positive about yourself, find some new people who will support you and not bring you down and make you feel more insecure about yourself.

"Don’t ever put your happiness in someone else’s hands. They’ll drop it. They’ll drop it everytime."

2. Wash your insecurities away. This isn't something that I have tried, but after coming across it on Tumblr, I thought I could include it! You write down what you are feeling on your arms with a pen before you go to have a shower or bath, and then eventually the water will 'wash them away down the drain'. I have seen some of the replies saying it works for some people!




3. 'What's the best that could happen?' This is something that I don't do, which I must start doing more! My mind tends to wonder off and I end up thinking about 'what's the worst that could happen' which puts me off doing certain things and has stopped me from taking quite a few good opportunities. Think about the positive outcome rather than the negative because there will surely be more positives than negatives!





5. Advantages > Disadvantages. I guarantee there will be more advantages than disadvantages in you and more features that you like about yourself as opposed to dislike! These can be anything! Your eyes, hair, lips, etc! Some of the things you may feel insecure about and think that everyone sees it too, is probably not true. They may not even notice it unless you decide to point it out! 


I hope you all liked this post as it did take me quite a while to write and to decide whether I wanted to post it or not! :)

Thank you for reading!

Hey guys!

I have been tagged by my lovely friend Meg to take part in 'The Autumn Tag' which I would gladly love to participate in! Here goes!

The Autumn Tag was originally created by www.makeup-pixi3.com/!

Hey guys!

So I thought I would write a review on a foundation that I have been using for quite a while now. I don't tend to use foundations very much on my skin as bronzer would just do for me, however, I have been using this for special occasions such as weddings, dinner parties, etc and I thought I would tell you what I thought of it! 



I have been a fan of L'Oreal for a long time now and I own quite a few of their products too, one of them being this foundation.

I purchased this near the end of May/beginning of June from Boots for around £10 and it is nearly close to running out! 

There are a mix of pro's and con's on how I feel about this foundation, but for me overall, I liked it! 

As I had also stated in 'My Daily Skincare & Makeup' that I also have to mix this with my No7 Intelligent Colour foundation (which I have purchased again this summer because I loved it!)

What I like about this foundation is that it has a medium/low coverage and it feels incredibly light when it is on your skin! The formula is light and creamy/runny rather than really thick. 

It states on the back that you only need to 'dot' the foundation on places where you need more coverage, for me it's my cheeks, nose and chin, and then either blend with your fingers, brush or a foundation sponge, I prefer to apply this foundation with my fingers rather than a brush.

This is the darkest colour I could find in the Boots store and it still is slightly too light for my complexion which is why I mix it with my No7 foundation, however, if I mix the right amount of foundation with each other and apply the correct amount I need (which isn't very much), as well as apply some bronzer, it will give off a sheer, healthy glow on my skin.

I prefer using this during the summer as it has an SPF of 18 and I have noticed that I have better skin days during the summer rather than the winter, so this is perfect!

The longest I have gone this this foundation without reapplying is most likely 6/7 hours which was at a wedding this summer.

The one thing I would change about this foundation is rather than having a screw on cap, it would be a pump because sometimes too much can come out when you only need a small amount.

This foundation is perfect if you're looking to buy a medium-to-low coverage and not too expensive, but will still give your skin a flawless finish!

Thank you for reading!
