So about a week ago I posted my first '30 Day Snap' post. Now the idea of this is that everyday you post a picture of something you did/that happened that day.
But really I couldn't have picked a worse time for that sort of a challenge! I'm right in the middle of my final exams in my last year of school (A-Levels or Finals if you're American) and I am majorly stressing about this! Plus there's the whole uni thing and exams aren't exactly easy for me which isn't a massive help..
Not that I'm making excuses other than the truth.. So yeah lovelies, sorry for starting something I couldn't finish (Gosh it sounds like I'm breaking up with you…which I'm not…I promise).
Love you loads!

30 Day Snap #1
Hello friends :)
So this is one band waggon that I am a little late in jumping on, but I only just found out what all this daily snap malarkey was about! But now I know I'm fully on board.. So here it is!
So personally I don't like milk. I hate the smell and the taste and even the texture which I know is quite odd! But because of this distaste I have eaten my cereal dry with no milk for the last 11/12 years. I recently went on a summer health kick looking for that bikinis body that all girls want for the beach holidays and bought this All Bran cereal. After trying it I decided it might taste better with a bit of milk…So today I tested my theory. For the most part I was right but I hate the way milk makes your cereal soggy,, it really grosses me out and even discussing it now is making me feel sick!
Sorry for the long winded story but I felt like I should explain the context of this odd post! Also,, I am aware that you can't actually see any milk in the above picture because the bowl is white and I only put a tiny amount in,, so I also took a proof picture ;)..
Here you can just about see the tiny dribble of milk on my cereal,, I really couldn't stand to put anymore in!
Do you think it's totally strange that I don't eat cereal with milk on it?? And are you a fan of the 30 Day Snap??

Face Mask Friday #2
Hello lovely readers!
So since its exam season the stress levels are running high! So the reason that I wanted to do a Face Mask Friday was the exact same reason that I kept forgetting to do one! But everyone loves a good face mask, don't we? So last week (because I'm running a bit behind) my sister went to a Lush party and brought home a face mask she made, deciding to get involved in the FMF festivities! With it being chocolate flavoured it does vaguely resemble excrement but we're thinking happy thoughts…
So yeah like I said… it looks great! (I'm a very sarcastic person…do forgive me!) So this contains various things like chocolate obviously, cocoa butter, talcum powder, a sugar paste all among other things that I don't know because I wasn't there, sorry! And then my sister lovingly topped it with chocolate chips for decoration. So cute and lovely!
So unlike the Montagne Jeunesse face masks which everyone knows and loves, this mask was a bit more lumpy and the consistency was a lot thicker. You also can't feel it deeply penetrating the pores of your face like you can some of the Montagne Jeunesse masks. I am told that this mask is very good for spots but I am so far unconvinced from one use.
So you can see here the texture is not as smooth as some store bought face masks. But despite all the ways which it differs from common face masks, it was still very relaxing to have on and a nice thing to do with my little sister! I also think that making your own face mask is such a cute idea from Lush and I encourage everyone to pop to a store and try any and all of their products!
Much Love xoxo

A Fantastic Little Service..
Hey beauties :)!
So I was recently referred to a website when was tweeting with Nic from Pixiwoo. She recommended me the Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Wiz pencil (which I now own and love) and said you could get it at Professional Online Makeup (www.pomltd.com).
So I made an order at POM on a Wednesday. It said my things would be dispatched on Friday, estimated delivery on Monday. On Thursday I got an email saying that my package had been dispatched and then it arrived on Saturday. This is fantastic service! I didn't know if they just weren't busy at that time or what but I couldn't have been happier!
When it arrived the envelope was wrapped in bubble wrap as one would expect from such a parcel (went a bit posh there!). The items inside were put into a little plastic bag with a POM sticker with a little bit of ribbon attached like a rosette. A nice touch. It also came with a very sweet professional looking business card saying 'With compliments'. So cute!
So here are all the things I bought from POM. Two new Real Techniques brushes, and the Anastasia Brow Wiz, along with the little business card. I am thrilled with the service I have received from POM and will certainly be using this website again! Their range of brands is so extensive and I really do recommend anyone who reads this to go and check out their website (linked above). And I hope you all end up loving the site as much as I do!
Thank you POM!!

Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter Review
Hello happy people :)!
Today's review is (as you can see from the title) of the much loved Revlon Colourburst Lip Butters. Personally I love these! I have 3 now and I can't wait to invest in more!
The colours I have already are 'Sorbet', 'Juicy Papaya', and 'Tutti Frutti'. In terms of lipsticks my taste is eclectic, so all these colours are some of my favourites.
At the moment I'm loving these bright colours which I think is linked to my love for summer. The consistency is creamy, with enough pigment for it to be used as a stand alone lipstick. These are a delightful little invention because they apply like a lipstick, but have a much more moisture rich formula. This means that they don't dry your lips out horrendously during an all day wear (and I hate nothing more). So this product is perfect for me and my prone-to-dryness skin!
So first is Juicy Papaya, this is such a nice peachy colour. Its very subtle on the lips, making this a perfect colour for everyday. I really like this one with my skin tone since I've started to tan a little bit now.
Next is Sorbet. Now a year ago I would never have touched a colour this bright. I didn't do statements and I didn't feel i could ever pull off a bright lip. However it's colours like this that helped to sway me, and now I'm hooked! Now I eagerly await the chance to wear a stand-out colour. This blue toned bright pink its such an amazing colour that doesn't bleed and stays put really well. It makes your teeth look whiter and can work great when you haven't put a lot of effort into your eye makeup. It's also great for going out! This is a colour I really love to the moon and back.
Last but certainly not least in my eyes isTutti Frutti, which is a bright corally orange. Personally I love coral and orange shades against my skin tone as I think it enhances my eyes and tan. so this colour is super perfect for me! It wears well and also doesn't bleed considering its brightness (because its always the bright ones that bleed!). I love this colour to go out and equally for a slightly more done up everyday look.
All in all I love these lip butters! The staying power is great, they don't dry out your lips and all the shades are really wearable and theres something for everyone in that collection! If you don't have any of these already I highly suggest you invest! They aren't a splurge being a high street product. I feel these are a great asset to my makeup collection!

Great New Find!!
Hello again friends :)
I was just reading through Beth's blog and she recently posted about a little shop called Dirty Dolly Designs. Humanly, I was curious after seeing her pictures of pieces she picked out as her favourites. So off I went first to their twitter which then lead me to their website. And this jewellery is some of the most adorable yet chic yet edgy stuff I've ever seen! And it's affordable! BONUS!!
So like Beth I picked out a few pieces that I fell in love with:
Next is this adorable little black beaded bracelet with a brass bow on it. Now I have a bit of an obsession with bows, and I love retro style jewellery with bows on it! So this bracelet is practically made for me and I am definitely purchasing this! But this really does break the bank with a whopping £5.00! Are you in love with this site yet because I am!?!?
Lastly is this gold studded bracelet. This mix of edgy and cute is exactly the kind of style I wear day to day mixing the edgy with cute clothes to create the best mix in my eyes! This bracelet is the one thing I am missing from my studded collection and believe me it will be added very soon! And this swoops in with another £5.00 bargain!
These pieces are just perfection and the price tag is making me fall even more in love! I strongly suggest you all check out this site since I feel they have something for everyone :) Definitely one of my new favourites!
