So for tonight's blog post I thought as I am currently obsessing over Zoe's beauty range, I thought I would write about it. I love all of Zoella's products and over the last two years I have connected a lot with Zoe as a person as she is just so honest and it is inspiring to watch her deal with what she has to and still able to get through it. So this is a blog post all about her beauty products, well the ones I have.

The Make Up Bag

So the first thing I am going to talk about is the Make Up Bag from the first collection, It is a pretty reasonable size which holds a lot of my make up and essentials for a day out, especially for the days I am at college as I need to have several things on me and it fits everything in which is why it is good and it is perfect travelling size so it fits perfectly in my college bag. 










Creamy Madly Dreamy Body Lotion

I have used this a few times since buying it last year but not often but when I have I have found I don't need to put to much on my hands to rub it in and moisturize which is completely different to most body lotions. I also have found that it is very moisturizing and it has a great texture to it and doesn't feel horrible when I apply it. 









Zoella Candle

I'm a big candle person, I either have brought a ton of candles or I have been given a lot of candles and I only have about 3 or four that I absolutely love and will light over and over again. Okay so getting to the point, I do like the Zoella candle I have nothing against it and it has a really nice scent to it but the problem I have is that it doesn't beat my other favorite candles. The other problem I don't like lighting it that much as I am pretty sure it has been discontinued or they don't sell it in the superdrug where I live any more and I don't often get to go to other places or I don't really want to keep buying it so I don't light it that much anymore. 









Blissful Mistful

I am a massive fan of body sprays I probably have about 10 sitting in my room and as soon as I heard Zoe was bringing out a body spray I knew I had to buy it, it was the only thing I had to have. Since buying it I have carried it around college everyday and taken it everywhere with me, I love the smell of it and I love the packaging although you have to make sure it doesn't get smashed, I think it is in the best kind of bottle and it is very easy to hold. 









Fizz Bar 

So I am not a massive fan about things that go in my bath, but I got given this as one of my Christmas presents from my friend and since then I have loved it that I had to repurchase it, I for one definitely thinks it is very moisturizing and that is why I think it is so good. 
Kissy Missy Lip Balm

This is one of my only products from the new collection and I only got it yesterday and have tried it once, so I can't give the best of reviews but I like the color it leaves on my lips but I did have a problem trying to apply it but other then I do like it so far. 
Lets Spritz Body Spray

Okay like I said earlier I have an obsession with Body sprays so when the new collection came out, this was the first thing I brought from it and I love the scent and quite recently I have been using it more then the other one but I love it just as much. It is in the same kind of bottle which is another reason I like it because like I said it is easy to hold and use. 
So that is my review on the Zoella Beauty products, I hope you enjoyed it and look forward to my post on Friday. Feel free to leave a comment.

So I am throwing a blog post in on a Tuesday, but I thought as I am starting to panic about my future I thought I'd make a little post about the future or some advice to try and calm yourself down. I will point out, I don't think I suffer with anxiety but I do tend to worry and panic when it comes to thinking what I want to do in the future and considering I have 1 more year left at college then I have a big choice of what I do in the future and that's the big worry I have. So here is a little advice to try and help others who will come to have the same problem. 

  1. If you are having trouble deciding what you want to do, don't think you are the only one. There is no doubt that you'll have someone else out there who is the same. 
  2. Don't think you have one choice and one chance to make a decision as you would have found out you change your mind so quickly. 
  3. Don't think you can avoid thinking of the future, because the more you try to avoid it the worse your worries get. REMEMBER you are going to grow up, you are going to have to make decisions, you are going to make mistakes, you are going to have to figure out what you want to do. 
  4. Don't think that you make one choice after finishing college or school that you are stuck with it for the rest of your life, it might start off thinking that way, but here's the deal, I always wanted to go to Drama College after college next year but now I want to go into a full time job of IT or Computing. That doesn't mean I have ruled out Drama College or Acting or Performing at all, I am just putting in my back pocket and maybe I'll revisit that idea in the near future. A lot of people have had one choice and stuck with it for a long while and then decided to change their mind and now want to do something completely different and that is completely Okay.
  5. If you see someone else who has got a job that is in the same kind of area you want to go into but you never get it, okay yeah it is disheartening but just be supportive instead of being jealous and everything. 
  6. Don't worry about panicking about the future, because trust me, it is a good thing because it means you are serious about your future and you know it's important and it's going to happen. 
  7. Remember although you are worrying about your future, try to enjoy planning it and thinking about it because you will find a good idea of a future in the long run and if I am honest it's much better to try and look forward and enjoy the future then to be dreading it. But remember it is totally fine to be worrying, don't think their is something wrong with you just because you're worrying about.
So I know this might not be helpful, but I thought I would post it as I had it on my mind and i decided to post it as I didn't post a post yesterday either. Feel free to leave a comment.

So it took me a while to decide what I wanted to do for this blog post but I finally decided after a while I came up with doing a review on the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, this will be short but I hope that it is okay, it is also  bit late being posted. Also I have changed my theme up which is why this post is late, it was going to be done this afternoon but I had to edit my new theme and I am so glad that I did as I love it. Let me know in the comments what you think of it.


Last summer I brought the Naked 3 palette, I had wanted it for ages and after several months of debating I finally decided to use my savings well some of it and buy it. Now I am not the person to buy high end make up because especially then, I didn't have a job so I wasn't earning any money but I had a lot of money saved so I decided to break into it and buy it as a back to college make up purchase and I am glad that I did as I have loved it.  

First off I'd like to comment on how good the packaging is, I have seen the first naked palette and I am not really fan of the cardboard packaging as it will probably get ruined quickly where I keep my make up. This packaging I think is really good and will always stay in good condition and it is shiny which I like. 

Secondly I would like to mention how great the colors are, I really like the variations of colors that are part of this palette, they are really nice pinks, gold and brown colors and I think they are really pigmented and nice colors. My most used colors are, Trick, Buzz and Mugshot. I think they are three colors that go very well together. 
Overall since I have got that eye shadow palette I don't really use my others and I think I have about 15 drugstore palettes. I think for £37 it is definitely worth it and if you are willing to go a bit out of your price range for it I totally think you should pick it up. 



















Personally I would love to get the naked 2 palette but right now I don't want to spend my wages on the palette one month, I might one day another time or ask for it for Christmas or my birthday. Anyway I hope you liked my short post, I know I am meant to have a blog post up tomorrow, but I am working in the afternoon and then in the evening so I don't think I'll have time to get it done in time. Feel free to leave a comment.

So Last summer I brought a ton of make up mainly from the drugstore and oops I spent a lot of money but it was worth it. Over the year for college especially I never have a chance to put make up on as I am always in a rush. When summer comes I have a lot more time and I will put make up on if I am going out. So I am going to Write about my top ten drugstore make up picks for this summer. So let's get this started. 


  • Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - £3.99 from Superdrug
I have had several powders over the last few years, I have been trying make up from the age of 14 and I have definitely had my times where I would love make up and hate it, but now I don't. Anyway, I have never found a powder that I have loved until I found the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, I have found that this powder has been really good as it holds all my make up in place and especially after I have put concealer on, I don't wear foundation so I don't need it to set that, I just need it to set the concealer but it does it really well and for a price of £3.99, although I think it was more when I brought it like a pound more but still for that price it is a really decent drugstore powder and I really recommend it to people who haven't tried it yet. 









  • Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser - £7.99 from Superdrug
I haven't tried many primers apart from a sample from M.A.C and this one and I have found this one is really good and is definitely a good base before I put any of my make up on and would be good for before you put any foundation on. 












  • Topshop Bronzer Mohawke - £9.00 from Topshop
I'm not sure if you class Topshop as drugstore but I think it is, so I have tried loads of popular bronzers and none of them have made me as happy as this bronzer has, it is really good for the summer and brings out that tanned look you want and you don't have to put too much on the brush, a small amount will do you great.












  • Sleek Blusher Pomegranate - £4.49 from Superdrug 
So I do have both the Rose Gold as well as the pomegranate one, but I think the pomegranate one would be my favourite because I feel like it's a bit more of a colourful blusher. I will say both of them are highly pigmented and I just love the how it makes my cheeks look especially in the summer. 













  • Maybelline The Rocket Mascara - £7.99 from Superdrug
If you saw my mascara draw in my make up draws, then you would know I have about 30 mascara's and I love about 20 of them and it was hard to whittle it down to one, I have so many favourites. So the one I chose is the Rocket Mascara by Maybelline, it is a fantastic mascara and gives you great volume and I find it really great and I love using it on a daily basis, it's the one thing I do remember to put on each morning. 













  • The Maybelline Color Tattoo eye shadows - £4.99 from Superdrug
Last Summer as I was doing my make up shopping I fell across these eye shadows and as soon as I started using them I fell in love, I have 3 but I have used 2 of them the most and they are the Pink Gold and On and On Bronze ones and I think they are both highly pigmented and they are basically like a primer as they are cream eye shadows and they stay on for nearly a whole day unless I do something stupid like rub my eyes, the majority of the time I won't use any other eye shadow on top if it is just for a normal day, if I was going on a special occasion then I will use other eye shadow. 












  • Sleek Oh So Original Palette - £7.99 from Superdrug 
I have had this eye shadow palette for about a year and half now, it was one of my first eye shadow palettes and I have loved it, each of the colors are highly pigmented and they are very good for all color eyes in my opinion and they are easily blend-able. 













  • Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner - £6.00 from Boots
I was never able to use eyeliner for a very long time until I got this eyeliner, I think it is very good for people who have never used eyeliner before and it is definitely long lasting and is very easy to draw that cat eye if that's what you want. 







  • Tanya Burr Exotic Island and Let's Travel the World Lip Gloss - £6.99
As soon as Tanya's lip glosses came out I went straight to buy one and me and lip gloss don't go well as I am always moaning that they don't last long and I am reapplying within half an hour. With these ones I have noticed that they last longer I'm not saying they last all day but they last longer then a lot of lip gloss. They are also very pigmented and all of them are great colors but the two I love are Exotic Island and Let's Travel the World. 






  • Kate Moss 05 Lipstick - £5.49 from Superdrug
So I love the Kate Moss 05 Lipstick from Rimmel London, the color is a nice pink and it is really pigmented and I wear a lot of stuff that goes with it and it's really good and since I have lost my shade 22 which is a bright red, I have been using this shade and I have loved it. 













So these are my top ten make up picks for the summer 2015, I hope you enjoyed this post, that is it for this post my lovelies. Feel free to leave a comment.

So I have decided I'll come up with a strict time to get a post up on my blog for the summer as I have the rest of this month and the next month off college and then I will change my schedule up when I go back to college. This is so you know when I should have a post up and also so I have something to stick to, there might be times I can't get a post up if I am working. I might even post on other days that aren't on the schedule, but it's just something to go by. 

Schedule:
  • Mondays - 9pm GMT
  • Wednesdays - 9pm GMT
  • Fridays - 9pm GMT
  • Potentially Saturday - 10/11pm GMT
So those are the days, although depends how tired i am on Saturdays as I am currently working on Saturdays but if I am awake I will write a blog post. 
So a week or so ago, I had to attend my best friends 18th Birthday Party and I hate parties so it was a big thing to even go to. I even researched things but in all honesty there is no way you can prepare for something like parties if you don't really go to parties. If you want a few tips of how to deal with parties if you aren't a party person then feel free to read on. 











  1. My first tip for you would be, if you have told some one you'll be there go, I mean I know it can be a hard thing to just go and say yeah I'l go if you aren't a party person but the thing is if you say no and you do your usual thing and sit at home and do what? You'll be wondering what you're missing. 
  2. Secondly, don't feel like you have to stay for so long, most people will turn up late and then stay until early hours of the morning, but if you don't want to then simply don't. NO ONE CAN FALSE YOU TO DO ANYTHING, if you want to go early and don't want to stay till the end, then all you need to do is go. 
  3. Thirdly, most people will be drinking alcohol, and yeah it does help with confidence, I will admit to that, but if you really don't want to drink then don't drink it's not the most important thing, stick to your guns you do not have to drink if it's not something you really want to do then don't feel you need to just because everyone else is. If you are going to drink either bring a few with you or limit yourself to a few unless you want to get totally drunk. 
  4. Now I know everyone loves their phone time but the whole point that you are going to this party is to socialize, so why not take the time and put your phone away and socialize with people there and try and make a friend. 
  5. A tip that really helped me, take a friend along with you, someone you know you can trust, some one who will leave when you want to leave and doesn't moan about it. Someone who will help you talk to others so you are not standing in the corner on your own like an awkward lemon. 
These are only a few tips, I hope they helped you if you aren't a party person, I will have some more interesting posts coming up hopefully in the next few days, I will post a blog schedule as soon as possible maybe later on today. Feel free to leave a comment.

So I realize I haven't posted in a month, but I have been super busy with college and work. Now that I am on summer break, I'll hopefully be updating you a lot more. I have decided to turn this into more a beauty and advice and random blog now, since I don't have the guts to make a youtube account and do that, I have decided that I would do what people do on youtube on here. At the moment I have a few ideas of what I am going to do and I'll make a list down here. 


  • 50 Facts about me
  • Whats on my iPhone
  • How I edit my instagram pictures
  • Favourites Each month.
At the moment that is all i have got, I'll probably think of others over time but anyway I would love if you commented things you'd like to see.
