I ♥ Summer Tag!

Hello everyone!

As it's Summer and I enjoy writing the odd tag post every now and again, I decided to do the.. yep!.. Summer Tag!

1. Favourite bronzer for summer?

My favourite bronzer would probably be the Avon Bronzing Pearls. I find that they give me a natural looking sun-kissed glow without making me look muddy and overly bronzed. 

2. Favourite summer drink?

Definitely Rekorderlig Strawberry and Lime!

3. Favourite summer lip product?

I really like my MAC Viva Glam Nicki. It's bright and vibrant, perfect colour for summer!

4. Pool or Beach?

Pool, I don't like the feel of sand sticking to my wet feet. 

5. Summer = Crazy hair. What's your favourite summer hair style product?

Right now I'm loving my L'Oreal Salt Spray and my Directions Lilac hair dye!

6. Sun Bathing or Fake Tan?

 I enjoy sunbathing but I don't tan easily so probably fake tan. (And it's more healthy for you)!

7. Favourite summer nail polish?

I'm enjoying my Miss Sporty Pink polish. I don't know the name for it but you can see it HERE.

8. Any summer traditions?

Not really no, other than having months of spare time due to Uni summer holidays. 

9. Favourite summer scent?

I haven't really had it for very long but I think the Hollister body spray in 'Solana Beach' is a very summery scent!

10. Favourite BBQ food?

Burgers! With cheese and burger relish! Get. In. My. Belleh! 

11. What's your favourite summer-proof product?

Hair bobbles! Can't live without them in Summer, gots to get the hair outta the way... sometimes!

12. Any summer vacation plans this year? If not, what would be your dream holiday?

Nope, I've already been on holiday in June with Tom but if I had endless money or just enough money I would LOVE to go inter-railing around Europe!

I tag everyone who reads this! And if you decide to write one, leave a link below, I'd love to read yours!

Lush Colour Supplement 'Jackie Oates' | Review

Hello everyone!

If you saw my last haul POST you'll have seen that I picked up the Lush Colour Supplement in Jackie Oates (the lightest shade) and seeing as though I wasn't even aware that Lush made makeup I thought it might be interesting to write a review letting you all know what it's like and how it performs. 

The product comes in 4 shades, each one aimed at different skin types. The one I have is for very fair people with pink undertones. I can't remember exactly what the other descriptions were but I definitely noticed one for people with yellow undertones. 

The mixture itself is very thick and is designed specifically to be mixed with other things such as moisturisers. I think this might contribute to why the have so few shades, they can be lightened or darkened to your preferences. 

Of course you can just use it on it's own too which is what I have been doing.  

As it's so thick you really don't need much, a little goes a long way. The little swatch in the picture below covered the whole of the back of my hand.

When I first applied this base I was worried that I really didn't like it even thought I really really wanted to love it. It took a while to set on my face, however, when it does set (and I would definitely recommend adding a setting powder), it actually looks very flawless. I use my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to buff it in and that works great. 

Although I really like the finish this base has on my face, there are some downfalls. 

First of all, if you have oily skin, I don't think you'd enjoy this at all. I have quite dry skin, it doesn't know the meaning of oil and it only takes about 2-3 hours for it to become really glowy, to the point where I have to reapply powder. Therefore, I can't see myself wearing this if I have a full day ahead of me because I just don't like to top up my makeup regularly throughout the day. 

Having said that, I haven't yet tried it on top of a primer which may make it stay longer, I have no idea, but it's definitely something I'm going to try as it really does get glowy quickly. 

Although the product is quite thick, it's doesn't necessarily cover blemishes very well, it's does even out your skin tone somewhat but if you have major problem areas you'll probably find yourself using a concealer too. Just something to note if you're looking for a high coverage base. 

Additionally, it has the strangest scent ever for something you use as makeup. It's called Jackie Oats and it genuinely smells like oats. On the Lush website it says it contains oat milk, honey and aloe vera. And my gosh you can smell the oats. It's very milky and sickly and I can't understand why they would make it smell that way. But if you like that kinda scent I can imagine that you'd love it. 

This is the finished look on me:

I've avoided using the word 'foundation' throughout this post because I really don't think it's designed to be a foundation as we know them. Obviously it's a base but it contains ingredients that help calm and cool the skin and reduce redness. So by using this you're actually doing your skin a favour. Although I've only been using this for the past 4 days, I can genuinely feel my skin becoming smoother, so maybe it's doing it's job?

Overall, I think this product has both negatives and positives. I think once it's set on your skin it looks extremely flawless and is the perfect base for your makeup and this can be maintained throughout the day if you want to do that. I also love it's versatility, I enjoy the idea that it's designed to be mixed with things so you can match it with your skin tone. Just think about what you could mix it with, moisturisers, sun cream, bronzers, loose powder highlighters, you could really make it in to what you want it to be. I think this would definitely be a useful product to have for those days when your skin is feeling a little irritated or dry but you don't want to go out bare faced, you can just whip this on knowing that you're helping your skin, not just adding to the problem.

On the other had, I'm not too keen on the scent and I don't like how quickly it becomes glowy but if you can deal with these problems you'll probably really enjoy the product. (I'm not sure if the other shades also smell like oats though, let me know if you've tried any!)

Price: £8.50 (20g)

Would I recommend this product? yes

Would I repurchase this product? yes

£5 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Case!

Hello everyone!

Today's posts are quite technically themed aren't they? 

I just wanted to write a quick post on this green polkadot case Tom bought me on eBay for my Samsung tablet. Kinda the same thing I did for my £1.99 phone case, you can see that HERE if you're interested.

I like to write these kind of posts because I always feel a little dubious about purchasing things from eBay incase they aren't right, or something wasn't advertised properly or if I don't receive the item etc. etc. I actually experienced this problem today, Tom bought me the Too Faced Summer Eyes palette from eBay at half the RRP price but when I received it this morning, it was a fake product. Thankfully, he has managed to get a refund! 

Anyway, I thought I'd show you all what it's like incase anyone out there is looking for a new tab case and doesn't want to pay £20+ for one in the shops.

I absolutely love this case, green is my favourite colour and this is a really nice pale green shade, it looks neon on the website but it's not. It came with a screen protector and one of them touch screen pens. It fits the tab perfectly and it's so pretty!

It comes in so many different colours so there is definitely something for everyone's tastes and the prices range from £4.49-£5.98. Also the delivery was brilliant, it's free and they dispatch the same day and you receive it pretty much the next day if your order early enough in the day. 

The seller is called 'lifastleg1680' and you can view it HERE.

I would highly recommend that you order from this seller if you're looking for a cheap and cheerful case!

I hope this was helpful! Thanks for reading!

My New Camera! (Samsung Galaxy Camera | EK-GC100)

Hellooo everyone!

This might seem a little crazy if you saw my last camera post HERE but, yes, I have another new camera. 

I am now the proud owner of the new Samsung Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100) and I'll say right now that I absolutely LOVE IT.

 

The Samsung WB150F featured in my last camera post has now gone back to the shop. Don't get me wrong, it's a really good camera considering it's price (£100) but unfortunately it wasn't the one I wanted. You know when you just have your mind set on something and nothing is going to be as good as it? That was me!

 I settled for it at first because I only wanted to spend £100 or less but it didn't really suit my needs. I really wanted something WiFi and more technical and very high quality and that just wasn't it and I was extremely put off that it wasn't compatible with my MacBook which was my main reason for buying it. Do not be put off by my views though if you're thinking about buying it. I'm leaving that post up because my opinions on it are true, it just wasn't the one for me. 

Now on to more exciting topics! 

If you're looking for a versatile, high quality, technical compact camera. This will definitely tickle your fancies. As a blogger I was so attracted to it because of all the features it has. This thing works in the same way a tablet would. You can download all your favourite Android apps the same way you would on a Samsung phone or tab, for example Instagram, Facebook, Email, Google+, even Blogger! It makes for such enjoyable and easy photo taking and sharing, you wouldn't believe it. That is what drew me in to this camera aside from the fact that it takes amazing pictures and records in full HD! 

It has 16 Megapixels and a 21x optical zoom. You can not take a bad picture on it, everything is crystal clear. I took some pictures of Hector in his tank to show you: 

(His background is blurry, the picture was blown up when printed off so that's not the camera, it if you're wondering).

The camera has a large 4.8" touch screen which works extremely well. Sometimes I find touch screens aren't as sensitive as they should be but this one works wonderfully. Also, the devise itself feels high quality. One thing I didn't like about the WB150F was that it felt plasticky but this one doesn't at all. 

Overall, I am so happy with this camera. I've only had it for 2 days so I'm still learning with it, I don't know the full extent of what it can do but so far I am very impressed and I can't wait to start taking stunning pictures on it for my blog and out and about!

Price wise, there's a huge difference between this one and the one I took back, coming in at the same price as some of the DSLRs out there. If you'd like to have a look for yourself and read more of the spec. etc. you can view it HERE. 

Are you looking forward to some amazing blog photos? I am!!

Friday and Mini Beauty Haul!

Hello everyone!

On Friday Tom and I went in to Manchester to do some shopping and get something to eat because he had the day off. We had a really nice time just browsing the shops and chilling out. First we went to Black Dog Ballroom, the one near Afflecks and had a few games of pool. I lost every single game but it was fun nonetheless! Then we did some shopping around the Arndale and went to TGIs for something to eat! Tom treated me to a few bits and bobs (Thank you Tom!) so I thought I'd show you in this post! Hope you enjoy!

We picked up a few bits from Lush first. I had no intentions to actually buy anything but when you get in there you just have to, don't you? :D

First of all Tom bought me an 'Each peach (and twos a pair)' Massage Bar and omg this thing is amazing. I'd actually nearly bought one of these when I ordered something online not too long ago but I decided not to having not smelt it first. Is that weird? I like to smell these kinda things first! I needn't have worried. If you like citrus and zesty scents you will love this. It has such a strong fragrance, enough to fill a room with it just sitting there, and when you rub it into your skin the scent becomes 10x stronger!

You just have to rub the bar in your hands like you would soap and it turns in to an oil then you can rub it into your skin, or have someone massage it into your back. It's so relaxing. I am definitely going to be stocking up on this. It's gorgeous! The price is a little steep, however, you could definitely get 3/4 uses out of this for your whole body depending on how much you like to use.

Price: $5.50

Next I picked up this 'Colour Supplement' in the shade 'Jackie Oates'. It's a very thick foundation and is designed in a way that you can mix it with things such as moisturisers or suncreams or even just use it on its own. 

I had no idea Lush made makeup so I was really interested in trying this out. One of the staff told me it's really soft on the skin which is good and it actually looks like a really good colour match for me. I haven't tried it yet but I'll definitely be writing a review on it! On the lid it's described as 'For fairer folk and English Roses. A pale, muli-purpose base colour with added gentleness'. Now if I'm not mistaken this sounds perfect for me, I'm pale as can be and have quite sensitive skin so I am very excited about this!

Price: £8.50

Finally from Lush I bought a 'Catastrophe Cosmetic' face mask. I have never had a Lush face mask before so I just went around smelling them and this one hands down smelt the best. I know that's not what your meant to do, you're supposed to read which best suits you but some of them smelt bloody horrible and I just couldn't put asparagus on my face, sorry I'm not sorry!

This one smells like palma violet sweets, it's so nice! I actually had this on my face for about half an hour today and I love it. It was cooling and left my skin feeling great! (I'll write a full review soon). This one's designed to help calm, soothe and cleanse skin. I thought this would be good for my skin seeing as though it's quite dry and can get irritated easily. So far I'm loving it!

Also, you could definitely get about 7/8 uses out of this small tub. It's very thick so a bit goes a long way so in my eyes it's worth the price.

Price: £5.50

Lastly, I finally got the Hollister body spray I've been needing in my life for so long! Again, thank you Tom! These things are so over priced for what they are but they smell so nice! I have it in the scent 'Solana Beach' which I think is the scent that they have floating around the shop, if not, it's pretty damn close. 

It smells fruity and fresh and summery and I just love it!

Price: £12 :O

After all that shopping, Tom treated us to TGIs, we have both been craving steak since we came back off holiday so we got our fill of it yesterday!

We both got the tomato bruchetta to start which was really nice and tasty. We usually get the bacon and cheese potato skins but this made a nice change!

And for mains I got the New York steak thing. I can't remember the actual name of it but it was so nice! I get it with the butter topping, mash and seasoned veg! It was so yom!

And that was our Friday! We had a really good day out shopping and I feel totally spoilt after being treated to so many pretty things by Tom! Thanks bubs :D

Look out for full reviews on the things I mentioned in the post as I'll definitely be writing them soon!

Miss Sporty 'Clubbing Colours' Quick Dry Nail Polish!

Hello everyone!

You may have seen the last post I wrote on these Miss Sporty 'Clubbing Colours' Nail polishes. The last post was on a pink colour (I can't find their names/numbers on the bottle) and you can see that HERE.

As I mentioned in my other post that I'd let you know how I get on with the other colours, here's a look at the green shade I picked up!

The finish on this one is a little different to the pink, it has a slight pearlescent finish which I'm not overly keen on but that's just my personal taste, there's nothing wrong with the colour itself. 

The performance it pretty much the same as the pink shade except when applying it I noticed this one was a little thicker and more opaque than the pink. One coat would probably do the job, I'm just in the habit of applying two.

As far as the 'quick dry' is concerned, I think they do dry pretty quick. Considering I apply two coats after 5mins they're completely dry and I can go about doing what I want and they don't smudge which is good. Who has the time/patience to wait half an hour for nails to dry? Not me!

These nail polishes also last a good amount of time before they chip. They're only cheap polishes too which really surprised me. I wore this green colour for about 5 days and when I took it off it wasn't chipping or anything, I just wanted a change. Very impressive in my opinion!

Are you going to give the Miss Sporty nail polishes a try? I would highly recommend them!

Price: £1.99

MaxFactor 'Wild Mega Volume' Mascara | Review

Hello everyone!

I recently picked up the new MaxFactor Wild Volumising Mascara as the final addition of my '8 Maxfactor Mascaras' post (which will be coming shortly) and I decided that seeing as though it's new and readers may want an in depth review just on this mascara alone I'm giving it it's own post before I write a more condensed review on it in my larger mascara post.

First off, I do like this mascara. I've read a few negative reviews with people saying that they don't like the wand shape or it doesn't separate their lashes very well but for me that hasn't been the case. 

Having said that, I love volumising mascaras. I like to have thick lashes. I know some people may prefer lengthening or separating mascaras which may be why they're not overly keen.

You can see below how it looks on my eyelashes:

On the image above you can see the wand which is an hourglass shape. It's really unusual and to be completely honest I'm not entirely sure why it's of the shape it is. It doesn't seem to apply any differently to a normal straight wand. Secondly, don't underestimate it's size, it's such a thick bristled brush, I'd compare it to the size of the False Lash Effect wand if you're familiar with that, you can see it HERE. Also, when you pull the brush out of the tube quite a lot of product comes out on the brush which is where you'll get the clumpiness from if you're not careful. The bristles on the brush are very soft and flexible which I like because it doesn't drag your lashes along with the brush as you're applying it.

I really like the formula too, it's quite thick and coats the lashes well, as well as a volumising effect I noticed that it slightly curled my lashes too. Not much but slightly which was pretty cool.

A downfall of this mascara is that it's a little tricky to apply, the size of the brush and the amount of product that comes out on it can make it a clumsy mascara. When it had dried I had to clean up some excess mascara from around my eyes. However, I don't find that it leaves any residue on my skin throughout the day, it pretty much stays put.

A quick tip that I have found extremely useful with this mascara is sometimes when I apply it and I think it's made my lashes clump together too much I like to go over it with the MaxFactor Clump Defy mascara (a mascara I don't like much on it's own). I think that really helps to separate lashes at the same time as keeping them thick and full of volume!

Overall, personally I think it's a really good mascara, I like how it volumises well, I like the deep black colour, I like the wand and I love the green packaging! But I can definitely see why others may hate it. If you're looking for something that's going to be quick to apply, this won't be for you. You have to take your time with it otherwise it'll clump your lashes together and you'll get excess mascara around your eyes. If you're umming and ahhing about it, I'd definitely go and buy it now while it's on a promotional offer as it such a love or hate product!

Price: £4.99 (Promotional offer) RRP: £6.99
You can see it online at Boots HERE.

Would I recommend this product? to someone who like volumising mascaras, yes.
Would I repurchase this product? yes.

I hoped this was helpful! Let me know in the comments what you think about this mascara! :)

Beauty and Fashion Haul!

Hello everyone!

I've got a mini beauty and clothing haul for you here! I used my new camera to take the pictures and I'm so happy with the way they turned out, it's brilliant. Let me know what you think! 

First, my sister took me to a shop in the Arndale (Manchester) which I didn't even know existed. It's called Duty Free and if you visit the Arndale a lot you might already be familiar with it but it's just behind the escalators to the food court. I didn't know it was there because I don't really go to the shops around there but I absolutely love this shop!

They sell things for piercings such as tapers and plugs (most of which are only £1). They have a variety of makeup and hair produts. They also sell things like wigs and tutus and things along them lines. I usually go to Afflecks for my piercing things but I'll definitely be going here more often as it's so much cheaper!

I picked up some white nail tips because I thought they'd be handy for representing nail polish here on my blog. We'll have to see how that goes, usually I just take a picture of the nail polish on my hands but I think this could be useful in the future.

Price: £1.99

Next, I saw they the sold the Directions hair dye! They sell them quite a lot cheaper than on the Directions website so I decided to just buy this one for when I top up my purple. I got it in the colour Lilac. I wanted Lavender but they were sold out.

Price: £3.99 (£5.50 on the Directions website)

How pretty are these glitter pigments? 

Well I don't think they're actually called pigments, they're just bottles of glitter but you could use these for anything! I bought them with glitter eyeshadow in mind but they could be used on top of nail polish, in your hair, on your body even for arts and crafts purposes! They had loads of different colours but these three stood out for me. I'm definitely going to go back for more!

Price: £1.99 each.

Lastly from Duty Free I bought myself a new taper. I've always worn black tapers from when I very first started stretching my ear but since I have purple in my hair now why not have a purple taper? :)

Mine is 5mm and I'm not stretching it any further, I really like the way it looks as it is and I think I'm going to go back for a plug soon.

Next I went in Boots and picked up a few bits. I was in the mood for splashing out on a bunch of new makeup but absolutely nothing tickled my fancies! I wanted the Seventeen Pressed Powder to compare with the Rimmel Stay Matte and I also wanted to buy the new L'Oreal eyeliner but it was so busy that I lost the will to live shortly after going in to the shop. Also in the Boots in Manchester it's a really big shop and most of the makeup stands are like counters with staff walking around asking if you want help which is so annoying, I like to just browse the stall but they don't leave you alone! (rant)

Nevertheless, I did pick up the new MaxFactor Wild mascara. I've had my eye on it for a while with my MaxFactor mascaras post in mind so I just decided to buy it while it was still on offer and try it out. I used it today and I actually think it's really good. I'll be writing a full review on it soon!

Price: £4.99 on promotional offer.

I also picked up 2 Batiste Dry Shampoos. I decided to go crazy and not buy the Tropical scent for a change because the packaging on these two was too pretty to pass up. I got the 'Seductive & Elegant Lace' one and 'Urban & Edgy Graffiti' I used the graffiti one today and it smells nice, idk if it smells like graffiti but it does the job :)

Price: £1.99 each.

Clothing wise, I nipped in H&M to have a quick look around the sale. Not much caught my eye except these two items I picked up.

The skirt I actually really love. If you saw my previous haul you'll have seen that I bought a green skater skirt from H&M and although this is also green it's a totally different style. It's a pencil skirt with gold studded detail all down the sides and the front. It's quite heavy and feels expensive. It's lined too so it feels quite thick. When it wasn't in the sale, it was pried at £24.99.

Price: £5.00

To pair with the skirt I picked up this collared, sleeveless top. It's a peach colour and made of very thin material. I think it's nice and summery and versatile and could even carry me though the Autumn season paired with a jumper and a scarf! Once I've worn it with the skirt it'll also go well with leggings as it's long enough to cover your bum.

Price: £4.00

And that's everything I've picked up over the last few days. I'm excited to use the dye on my hair and I'm also looking forward to using the glitter! 

What have you been buying recently?

L'Oreal 'Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray' | Review!

Hello everyone!

As you may have seen in THIS rather large haul, I recently purchased the L'Oreal 'Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray'. I bought it as a quick and easy hairstyle as beachy waves seem to be the in-thing at the moment and this looked perfect for the task!

I actually had my hair straightened prior to using the spray so I added a few curls and waves myself with my curling wand as I knew that the spray alone wouldn't make much difference. Then I just sprayed it on and kind of scrunched my hair up and held it for a few seconds.

I really like the effect it had on my hair. I think it helps hold curls in place and gives the hair more texture, however, if your hair is straight I think it works better if you add a few waves yourself first.

As far as the spray itself is concerned, it does have quite a strong chemical scent so be careful not to accidentally breathe that in when you're applying it. Also if you apply too much of it I think it might leave a horrible 'crispy' texture to your hair so just be aware of that! It lasts throughout the day but it has to be reapplied the next day. 

Other than that, I actually really like this product, it does what it says it's going to do. It's not overly priced and it comes in a cool bottle! What more could you ask for?

Price: £3.69

You can see it online HERE.

Would I recommend this product? yes

Would I repurchase this product? yes

New Camera! And a Chin Wag | Lifestyle

Hello everyone!

How are you?

On Sunday (21st) I bought a new camera! After Tom got his new camera I was feeling left out that I didn't have a good camera to take pretty pictures on for my blog. I'd been looking on the internet at a few around the £100 price range and to be completely honest there isn't a great deal of them out there.

So on Sunday I decided to go and have a look around Currys because I like to actually see what I'm getting before I buy electrical appliances and in all truth I didn't want to wait for delivery.  It was one of them trips out where you tell yourself you're just going to look around, see what's out there and have a think about it. That didn't happen. I left the shop with a new camera. I am too impatient and impulsive for my own good.

 I left the shop with a Samsung WB150F. It cost £99.99 and for the price it's quite a nifty little thing!

It has WiFi, you can upload pictures directly to Facebook, Email, Samsung phone/tablet, Photobucket it has 14.2 Megapixels and an 18x Optical zoom. 

I know that's a lot of technical jargon. I don't know what it means either. I was looking for something that takes good up close pictures with regards to my blog pictures and at first I was looking for a high number of Megapixels but one of the staff said to look for a high optical zoom. 18x optical zoom was the highest I could find within my price range!

One downfall for me with this camera, which I was unaware of until I got it home, is that it is only compatible with a Windows laptop. I use a MacBook so it might as well not have WiFi at all for me which is annoying. I was looking forward to not having to plug it in to get picture off it. Regardless, I'm over it now, it takes good photos, I'm happy with the quality and no more iPhone pictures Woo!! 

I was also looking at a Nikon Coolpix which was also £99.99 and had 20 MP and a 7x Optical Zoom but I just didn't like the camera, it didn't look great and it definitely didn't feel like I was using almost £100's worth of equipment when I was using it in the shop. So in my opinion for £100 this Samsung camera is definitely one of the best on the market at the moment, and if you use a Windows computer all the better!

...................................................................

On to other matters:

On Monday my Mac broke. Can you believe it? I get a new camera... computer breaks!

I took it to the apple shop on Monday afternoon because when I found out my camera didn't work through WiFi I thought it'd be simple to just plug the SD memory card in to get pictures off but Lo and behold I plugged it in and my laptop did not register it. Nothing at all happened and I couldn't find the drive located anywhere on the system.

So I took it to the Apple shop and the woman plugged something in to it she called a 'ghost operating system' and told me it doesn't work and it never will again along with a few other things I didn't even know about. She basically showed me a hefty number I wasn't prepared to pay to get it all fixed. And that was that, I took it home.

When I tried to use my laptop later on that evening my account absolutely f**ked (for want of a better word). I couldn't access the Finder application so I couldn't see any of my data, when I clicked on the other apps it would freeze and the menu bar across the top kept flickering. I was petrified that either my laptop was broke or I'd have to pay a huge bill to get it repaired. When I took it back to the Apple shop again on Tuesday the 'genius' had no idea what was wrong with it, he was baffled. I'm absolutely sure it was something the woman on Monday did to it because I didn't touch it until I was home.

The 'genius' managed to fix it enough so that I could access Time Machine and told me to go and buy an external hard drive, back it up, delete my account and create a new one because all was fine on the guest account. So I bought the hard drive (£35 from Argos), backed up my laptop (4hours it took) and then ... wait for it.... everything worked fine.

When the backup had finished the whole thing just fixed itself. It was unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it's fixed but I payed £35 for a hard drive!!

Anyway, that's been my life for the last few days. I haven't written anything on here due to the reasons above but I have a haul post planned and I'm getting my '6 MaxFactor Mascaras' post up and running soon, I took the pictures for it before on my pretty camera and they're lookin' good!  

Thanks for reading this!

I'll see you all next time :)
