John Lewis Christmas Advert 2015; #ManOnTheMoon ♥

Hey guys!
Today's post is going to be on the new John Lewis Retail Advert.
#ManOnTheMoon

If you guys haven't seen it yet I want to you watch it before you carry on reading this post.

Okay.
I'm just going to put it out there. Every time I watch this advert I cry.

The end bit is the killer for me when the old man on the moon receives the present from the girl back on earth of the telescope to find her waving back at him and the tear that rolls down his face. 

Oh my gosh it's going to start me off just thinking about it.

In a weird way it kind of reminds me of my grandad who has passed and i'm not sure why because he doesn't look like him and he obviously doesn't talk in the video... I honestly don't know what it is but its the cutest advert and I honestly believe it's better than the one last year with Monty the Penguin and I LOVE penguins so that a huge thing for me to say haha!
What do you guys think of the advert?

Does it make you tear up a bit?

Meeting Conor Maynard - 3 Year Anniversary ♥

Hey guys!

So today marks 3 years since I met Mr. Conor Maynard!
In a couple of previous posts months and months ago I said one day I would make a blog post on what happened and how!
So I thought today is the day I sit down and tell you guys the little story!

Okay so it all started the day before concert when I was talking to my mom about how I wanted to try and get a message and present to Conor while we was were at the concert. I then started to talking to Conor's bass player Drew! (Shout out to Drew because it's pretty much thanks to him that I got to meet him haha) I mentioned I had a present for Conor and the crew and asked how I could get the bag to them! I panicked and left the bag in the cloakroom and told drew to go get the bag. I didn't think nothing more of it while I was standing waiting for the support act to come on and just got talking to some girl around us suddenly I got this tweet from drew...

I was shocked and couldn't stop smiling just at the fact that they had the bag!

Them these pictures popped up in my mentions.

I honestly nearly cried and couldn't stop shaking!

George Conor's friend a tour DJ killed his set, got everyone singing and dancing
I was so happy and then the support act (PW) came on and killed it!

While he was performing and I was taking pictures on my phone I spotted a notification say "Message from +Conor Maynard" on twitter.
I was expecting to click on my twitter and it being a fake account.

BOY WAS I WRONG! THE REAL F**KING CONOR MAYNARD HAD JUST MESSAGED ME!

He thanked me for the presents and asked if I was free after the show.
Even if I was busy and had to rush home or something I would have cancelled it in a heartbeat to meet this boy!

I replied back to the message and straight after texted my mom to tell her what was going on. My phone was blowing up with mentions and I had little tear in my eye!

CONOR CAME ON AND KILLED IT!
BROUGHT OUT ANTH FOR HEADPHONES MADE THE ROOM GO CRAZY SAID GOODBYE AND EVEN THOUGH THE SHOW WAS OVER...

I knew that I could possibly be meeting him!

I got another direct message from Conor asking me to go to the box office and his manager Mark was coming to get us!
We followed him, walk back into the room we were just singing and dancing in, down the side walking past Conor's brother Jack and Alex Conor's friend.

We walked into the backstage dressing room area. Conor welcomed us with hugs and thanked me for the presents, apologizing for how much he was sweating due to him just coming off stage. Anth came to say hello; then George, drew, Tonez and Ross came to say hello. Once we had said hello to everyone the whole crew came together for a group hug as an end of tour celebration. Conor and George grabbed me and pulled me into the hug and someone messed up my hair I feel like it may have been George but I could be wrong. It was so cute. 

Even to this day it feels like a dream. I had a picture with Conor which Anth took... Anth touched by phone... You can have the picture of Conor with my side cropped out because I looked a mess and ruin the other side of the picture, You can enjoy staring at Conor and his beauty though!

I was in such a gaze at what was going on and what we were talking about... I went in with the intention to get Conor and the crew to sign my ticket and it never happened because I was so nervous and starstruck it completely slipped my mind!

We got a hug goodbye and Conor's Manager Mark walked us back to the box office where he came to get us.
It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life and I am so thankful to Drew, Conor and everyone else who helped make it possible and were so lovely while I was backstage.

I wish I could go back and relive the day over and over again.

I hope you guys enjoyed this little story
Thank you Conor for being amazing and an inspiration even though you won't see this you mean a lot.

MAC Ruby Woo Dupe?! ♥

Hey guys!

My last MAC lipstick dupe is one of my highest viewed posts so I thought if you guys enjoy them I would find another which is what I have done! WOO!

If you haven't seen my last dupe post it on was MAC Rebel you can read it here.

Okay, so the amazing thing about this dupe it that it's not a lipstick.

I needed a new red lip liner and to my surprise it was the same colour, texture and finish as MAC Ruby woo!

The lipliner is Rimmel 1000 kisses Lasting Finish lip liner pencil is 021 red dynamite!

This product retails for £2.99 at Superdrug and Boots!

This is MAC Ruby woo and retails for £15.50

I know MAC have recently brought out a lip liner matching this lipstick which costs £12.50 but that is still a £9.51 saving buying the Rimmel dupe!
This is the part you have all been wanting to see. The colour comparison!


Left - Rimmel lip liner pencil | Right - Mac Ruby Woo

Left - Rimmel lip liner pencil               Right - Mac Ruby Woo

As you can see from the swatches above they both look the same on the lips and in swatches!
Yes, Ruby woo is easier to apply and does show on the lips more red but with a couple of layers of the lip pencil you will get the same pigmentation.
The lip liner in my eyes is better for if you were going to go out and eat or drink with this product on due to it lasting and staining power on the lips.

If you have always wanted to try Ruby Woo but didn't want to spend the £15.50 for the lipstick then this is the perfect way to test it out and for £2.99 you're not breaking the bank on a lipstick that you may not like!

I hope you guys liked this post!
Let me know what you think!

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2014; #MontyThePenguin ♥

Hey guys!

AHHH! It's that time of the year again when adverts for a certain season are being released one but one... I don't want to say the word because we are in November and it feels wrong. I'm gonna do it... CHRISTMAS!! AHHH!!

We are so close and it excites me more than it should! I am literally like a child when it comes to the holiday season!

If you are not from the UK you may not know what John Lewis is. It is a department store which recently starting last year they bring out a cute little Christmas advert to warm our hearts! Last year we got to see a love story between a snowmen and snow women  and his quest to bring his love a new hat and scarf! This year we meet a little boy and the adorable Monty the penguin! He is such a gem and the story to go along with it is also heart warming and so precious! 

Take a look at it yourselves and let me know what you think!

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - Film Review! ♥

Hey Guys!
So today me and Jess went to see
"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"
It is such a long name for a film for a not very long film haha!

Plot from Google:

Following the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life-a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another, but when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his brother, sister, mom and dad all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day after making a wish. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.
 

The real reason for me and Jess going to see this film was because of the song at the end... The Vamps have a song called Hurricane which is features at the end of the film! Me and Jess fell in love with the song and when we found out it was for this film we just had to go and see it!
We had the cinema to ourselves which was fabulous! We could sing, laugh and talk and not worry about other people in the theater haha!

Every single actor and actress in this film fit the role perfectly!
Steve Carell is hilarious and as seen in previous film makes a wonderful fake dad and i am not really a huge fan of Jennifer Garner but she also fit the role perfectly! Also I have never seen a cuter baby than the one in this film!
The film has elements of Australia in it which Jess LOVED! haha!This film is a good old family good feeling film! It is also a good uplifting film as it shows not only children but adults that if a day starts bad it can get better! Life lessons from a film are my favorite!
I would 110% recommend you going to see this film at your local cinema (if it is showing) and enjoy it!
I know it is Disney but everyone needs a bit of Disney in their lives from wishing you were a princess to watching a little family film like this one!

Let me know what you guys think of this film if you have seen it!
Hope you are having a wonderful day or evening wherever you are!

MAC Rebel dupe?! ♥

Hey guys! 

As promised my next post is going to be a MAC dupe!

Any of you may have already seen these two lipsticks being compared to each other but I thought why not add another comparison into the mix and show you guys! Plus for those of you who haven't seen these compared you will have by the end of this post! Haha! 

The dupe I have found is a lipstick from America. Now if your from the UK your probably thinking well this isn't helpful to me however your are wrong. This lipstick I am going to mention to you is easy to get a hold of if you have an eBay account. 

The lipstick is from the brand Wet n Wild and the colour is 'Sugar Plum Fairy' which I think is a cute name! It's a semi-matte so just like Rebel it has a slight gloss to it and excellent staining power! When I wear either one of these I end up with pinky/purple lips when I wipe it off at the end of the day! 

I decided to take the tube of both lipstick with flash so you could see how similar they are in the tube and then without flash for on the lips for the same effect. 

As you can see in the tube and on the lips these lipstick are soooo similar, the only little tiny difference you can see is that Rebel is slightly darker but in natural daylight they look the spitting image!

I have actually worn both lipsticks side by side when on a day out and I asked a few people if they thought my lips looked a different colour on each side and they said no and then asked why! 

MAC lipsticks cost £15 and you can pick up the Wet n Wild lipstick for £4.18 including postage from eBay. The lipstick comes from America but the good thing with the company that I brought it off is if you order more than one item from them they will reduce the postage save you paying more than you should. 

eBay link - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WET-N-WILD-Mega-Last-Matte-Lip-Cover-Sugar-Plum-Fairy-/131038210886?pt=US_Makeup_Lips&hash=item1e827c6b46

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and maybe in the future I will be able to find a few more dupes for you!

Hope you are all okay!

Again i have many... Lady gaga Fame, Taylor swift Wonderstruck, One Direction, Avon Infinity moments (I think that's what its called) :'D

10. What's your favourite season?

11. Have you been out of the country?

Yes, I've been to Greece many times and in April i am travelling to New Zealand which for me is half way around the world, im so excited but at the same time scared, i've never been on a plane for more than 6 hours....

13. Do you have any siblings?

Yes! I have a brother :)

19. What phone do you have?

20.  Starbucks or Costa?

Is this really a question? Obviously Starbucks <3

Only 20 questions! I could have put many more in here but i thought this could just be a part one and if you guys like it i could carry on with more questions like this for you guys to get to know me a bit more.

Winter Wonderland - TAG ♥

Hey guys!

It's Christmas Eve!!! I'm so excited for Christmas and i thought it was appropriate for me to do this 'Winter Wonderland Tag' which i saw from Miss Budget Beauty off YouTube who is an amazing YouTuber who I've watch for years, so check her response to this tag!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas i hope you have a wonderful holiday with family & friends :)

So lets get on with the tag!

1. Favorite thing about winter?

My favorite thing about winter has to be the cold weather... I know many people hate it but i honestly like it, i find it easier to warm myself up than to cool myself down during the summer... I'm a strange child i know!

2. Scarves or Beanies?

Scarves all the way! I have huge bushy hair anyways so that keeps my head warm and I've never really been a hat person. I don't mind them messing my hair up because almost everyday i rock the 'I just got out of bed hair' anyways haha!

3. Favorite holiday movie?

I have different favorite films for each part of the holiday. Throughout most of December i will watch ELF over and over again. I never get bored of it but on Christmas Eve i have to watch Polar Express in my bed before i sleep, i can't watch it any other time in December... Weird holiday tradition i know...

4. Favorite winter nail polish?

I have too many nail polishes to pick one. During the winter i like vampy/red/purple colours. I honestly just pick a random colour that i like the look of at the time and paint my nails with it haha!

5. Favorite Starbucks Holiday Drink?

White Chocolate Mocha with half a shot of peppermint. Longest coffee order drink ever but its soooooo nice! i have it every Christmas and i just love it! 

6. What are your top 3 winter essentials?

Lush lip scrub in bubblegum
Avon Color trend lip balm in Sugar Cookie

Dry skin moisturizer

If i use these during the holiday season my skin is so soft and my red lipstick apply smoothly

7. Name one item on your wish list this year.

I haven't really got a list, I've just ask for some more lipsticks to add to my collection because a girl can never have too many lipsticks. That's a fact!

8. Favorite holiday song?

Does Michael Bubles Christmas Album count as a song? That whole album is fabulous and really gets me into the Christmas spirit of things but if i had to choose one it would have to be 'Fairytale of New York' even thought it isn't officially a Christmas song and it has hardly anything to do with Christmas its amazing and fun to sing along too!

9. Did you go Black Friday shopping this year?

I didn't really go out and go shopping because here in the UK we don't really have Black Friday but amazon were going their annual sale and i managed to buy a bottle of Nicki Minaj perfume for £15 instead of £38. AMAZING!

10. Must have winter lip product?

RED LIPSTICK is a must for the holiday season and lip balm... you don't want chapped lips!

11. Will you be rocking an ugly Christmas sweater this year?

No, i have never brought or worn a Christmas jumper. Christmas day i usually spend my time in my onsie or new PJ's that my mom and dad have brought me! Better to be comfortable that to be itchy and uncomfortable.

12. Have you ever had a white Christmas where you live?

We have but i don't think we will this year, unless the heavens suddenly open with a flood of snow tonight all we will be getting this year is wind, rain and frost!

13. Favorite winter candle scent?

This year i have been loving 'Merry Marshmallow' by Yankee candle and since its now Christmas eve i can now burn the 'Christmas Eve' Wax tart i brought! EXCITING TIMES!!

14. How will you be celebrating this holiday

I shall be spending it with family, enjoying food and just enjoying the relaxation time i have off from not being at school! Perfect Christmas time to me!

I hope you guys enjoyed that tag!
I just thought it would be some thing a little different!

Anyways like i said i hope you all have a wondering Christmas/Holiday with your loved ones.

Take Care.

The Autumn/Winter - TAG ♥

Hey guys!

I hope you're all doing well, as i type out this little tag i'm sitting in my music classroom listening to 'Story of my life - One Direction' because its amazing and i can't get it out of my head! anyways that isn't what this post is about... i haven't ever done a tag post on this blog and the reason for that is because i've never been tagged by anyone to do a tag. However i'm still going to do this tag! Just a disclaimer i didn't think of this tag by myself i did see it on someone blog and i thought it was a cute tag, so there you go! Let's get started!

What item of clothing do you love to wear in winter but wouldn't be seen wearing in public?

There isn't really anything that i wouldn't wear out in public that i wouldn't wear in my own home, if i had to pick one i would probably have to say my christmas themed onsie... 

Most wanted item for autumn/winter?

I really really want a sully from monsters inc onsie... i may have to find somewhere online that sells them and buy one ready for christmas! 

Favourite boots to wear in winter:

I don't really wear boots in winter, i wear hi-tops mainly... i've really been into wearing heels or boots or sandals... all i need is a good pair of hi-tops and I'm good to go!

Are you a fan of UGG boots?

Honestly... No. I think they are horrible. They are up there is with crocks. I hate seeing people walking round with UGG boots on and they have worn them so much that they are walking on this side of them... ill insert a picture for those of you who don't know what i mean... 

EWWWWWWW!
*Image from google images*

It's snowing/raining outside, what are your favourite wellies to wear?
Honestly... i would just wear my old hi-tops... how bad am i at this tag already... if i'm not wearing my hi-tops outside i would be in bed in the warm :'D

What is your favourite autumn trend?
I haven't really got one... i love wearing darker make-up during these seasons, i love dark smokey eyes and dark lipsticks, can't have too many dark lipsticks for these seasons <3

What is your typical winter day consisting of?
If i'm not at school, i'm usually in bed with either my laptop, a cuppa tea and a blanket, or sometimes if i'm feeling a bit rebellious i play on my xbox, nothing keeps you warm like killing a few zombie on left 4 dead! ;D

Cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee?
ALL THREE! who can pick just one lets me honest! I love a good cuppa tea in the morning, coffee during the day to keep you awake and energised and then a hot chocolate a couple of hours before doing to sleep to relax you! PERFECT!

Do you like or dislike that it's starting to get dark?
I dislike it more than i like it if i'm honest. I hate having to get up for school in the dark and leaving school in the dark... its feel like i should be in bed and not getting ready to fight the cold that the english weather brings. In a way thought, i also kinda like that, it makes me feel like its closer to... i'm going to have to say it... Christmas!

Christmas is coming, do you have any idea of what you want?
Nope. No idea at all... i guess i just have to hope that santa has good taste and knows me well... he should he's know me for the past 18 years ;D

There you go! This tag didn't really tell you much about me but i thought it would be a cute and quick tag to do for you guys! I hope you are all having a good day!

Despicable Me 2 ♥

Hey Guys!

I hope you're all having a great summer holiday, even thought the weather in the UK isn't to the best standards has it has been in a while.

Today's post is going to be about Despicable me 2!

Now for some of you out there that don't know what despicable me is, its a film based around a criminal mastermind that uses 3 orphan girls to help him with his new master plan but throughout the film his love grows for the 3 girls and changes him into a better person! The first film ends with the once criminal mastermind adopting the girls and taking care of them. 

The second film is still along the same lines as the first one, they both have the genre of Family/Animation/Comedy/Crime. This film does have a little love twist which the other one didn't have. In this film Gru the main character who is the voice of Steve Carell gets asked to work for the Anti-Villain League to help discover a new powerful super criminal. We still have the family bond in this which is nice to see. The 3 girls who Gru adopts are Margo, Agnes and Edith. The 3 girls are played but Miranda Cosgrove, Elsie Fisher and Dana Gaier! All 3 of them play a big part in both of the films and allows younger views to connect to them via their animated actions in the film.

We also get to meet many new characters in this film which is good for us as an audience so we don't get too bored with the same characters but lets be honest who can honestly say their bored with the minions around! 

I love the minions in these films so much, they are so cute and you could just imagine if they were real ha! It would be the best thing that would have ever happened, sad I know but they literally make me laugh so much that my sides hurt and now that there are the purple evil minions that have been Introduced to us it makes it even funnier :D

My opinion;

Personally this film is amazing and I loved every minute of It at the cinema and would 110% go watch it again without a moment of hesitation. It's a feel good, laugh out loud film and we all need a good laugh in a while! 

I took my brother to see this film and he loved it just as much as I did! 

If you get the chance too I would defiantly go see it in the cinema in 3D because some of the 3D effects it are mind blowing especially at the end, so make you you stay until after the little sections of credits to see the extra minion part at the end! 

Overall I would give this film a 4.9 stars out of 5 because its a great film but I still think the original still wins my heart! 

I hope this sort of helped you guys with deciding is it your type of film or not but like I have said before you need to experience the viewing for yourself to know if you like it it not! So why not go for a couple of hours "day out" to the cinema and give it a go! 

Have a good day/night
