2019.

Hey guys!
How are you guys?!
I can't believe its 2019 and I haven't posted on this blog since the end of 2017!
I have missed posting but over the past year I haven't seemed to have the time.
I want to start blogging again as a way of giving me something to do while I am on bed rest haha!
Okay so a little back story about what has been going on in my life for the past month or so... 
Back in April I was planning on going on a little Granddaughter and Nan adventure to Salzburg and Vienna. Every thing was planned and I was really excited and we headed off to the airport!
We got to Manchester airport, got the number for our gate and heading to go and get on the plane as you do in an airport.
However I didn't make it to the plane.
To get to the gate we had to walk down some stairs... I can't remember what really happened after this point apart from I ended up falling down many steps and ended up breaking my leg.
I knew I had broken a bone as soon as I realised what happened as my whole leg was like jelly. I got taken to hospital to find out that it hadn't just broken one bone but both of the bones in my lower leg. I stayed in hospital in Manchester for 11 days and had to have an operation. 
I am back home now and currently have a metal rod and 4 pin screws holding the larger bone in my leg together while my little bone is hopefully healing by itself! Fingers crossed everything is going okay and the hospital next month tells me I can move onto crutches as I am currently sporting a zimmer frame as i'm only touch toe weight-baring and have to use a wheelchair.
However this hasn't stopped me living my life. It's put work on a hold for a bit because I'm not allowed to stand for a long period of time and creating special occasion cakes means I am on my feet ALOT. 
To be honest breaking my leg couldn't have come at a worse time not that there is ever a good time to break a bone but May has been one of the busiest concert filled months of my life so far.
At the beginning of May I had The Vamps four corner tour in Birmingham followed by Free Radio Hits Live the very next day. Take That and Rick Astley a week or so later, last night saw The Vamps four corners tour in Leicester and Saturday is the last one until October so far for Rita Ora!
Thankfully the venues have been able to accommodate for my accident some shows have been better for disabled seats than others (I might actually do a post on my experience with the whole disabled accident thing as there is a few things that I think people should know) but the main thing is I have been able to go to them. Live music is everything to me and as you guys already know if you have been reading this blog since the beginning I LOVE CONCERTS!
 I'm unsure on how long my recovery will be but i'm going to do everything in my power to get myself back to the old me and get myself better. I honestly have the best support network around me at the moment and I can't thank my family and friends enough for what they are doing for me. 
So... expect some more posts from me i'm not sticking to a schedule this time I'm simply going to post when and what I feel like so you could have 3 posts in one day or none for a week haha!
I hope you're all okay!

Washing Your Makeup Brushes.

Hey guys!
So today is a Sunday which means one thing - chill out time - however for me its been a tidying up day with a catch up of corrie in the backgrounds.

I shall admit it right now I haven't cleaned my makeup brushes in a while. I know gross and also shame on me. I keep meaning to do it and every night i get home from work and thing "I'll do it tomorrow" and of course tomorrow never comes.

When I first started wearing makeup which was around the ages of 16/17 - yes I was a late bloomer to the makeup world and would literally go to school with nothing on my face not even moisturiser some day because I simply wanted more sleep over looking dolled up for a place I hated - I didn't find may written blogs that told you about things like washing your makeup brushes and once I had given it ago for myself and got into watching makeup YouTube tutorials that I started to watch other people making beauty care videos.

Everyone has to start off somewhere and many people prefer to sit and read a blog than listen to someone talk at them so I thought I would type down how I wash my makeup brushes.

There are a few things you're going to need:

1. A Sink - I use the one in my bathroom

2. Your brushes - This is an obvious one as you need to clean them

3. Baby Shampoo - This is what I personally use. The brand is Johnson's Baby Shampoo. The reason I use this is because the formula is very gentle as it is used on baby's hair and just like their little heads the bristles of your makeup brushes need taking care of too.

Image from Google

You can also buy brush cleaning solutions and shampoos which can be quite costly or you can use your face wash if you prefer but as many face products can be expensive I wouldn't recommend using it and kept for just face use
4. Water - This is so we can lather and rinse the brushes5. A towel - I use a towel that doesn't have any little bobbles on or anything that can shed. This is because I don't want things transferring into my brushes when I am drying them
 6. A brush cleaning mat/glove - This is optional. You can always just use your bare hands. I have a few different silicone apparatus for cleaning my brushes - I have 2 gloves and a mat - They all do the same thing really it all depend on how much you're wanting to spend and which you feel like would be beneficial to you. The mat sticks onto the bottom of you sink or on the side making sure that the plug hole isn't covered up and water can drain or a glove which is obviously worn on the hand or 2 fingers if you buy a smaller version. I brought mine off eBay for between £0.99 - £4.00. There are loads on there and are worth having a look at if you don't want to break the bank. You can however by them from high street stores like boots and Superdrug and I also think I have seen them in the body shop and Claire's accessories at some point bit they are from about £6.00-£15.00

Now that all the equipment is out of the way we can get into the directions.

Make sure during this whole process you're keeping the bristles of the brush facing downwards. Don't point the bristles to the ceiling if you can help it. This is to stop water getting into the handle of the brushes which overtime will wear the glue down that is holding the bristles in the handle and will cause your brush to start shedding or worse loose chunks of bristles.

Lets begin!

1. Squeeze a little amount of baby shampoo onto your mat/glove/hand.

2. Take your brush and give it a quick dash under the tap and start to swirl the makeup brush in the baby shampoo. This will cause the shampoo to start lathering and start to clean your brushes. You will start to see the makeup that has built up start to break down and leave the brush.

3. Give it a rinse under clean warm water. Make sure the water isn't too hot as this will cause the glue to start melting in the handle.

4. Squeeze out the excess water from the brush carefully and If needed for a deeper clean repeat steps 1-3 until the brush is running clear in the the water at step 3.

5. Swirl your brush on your towel this will allow the bristles to start drying and reduce the risk of water getting stuck the in the brush and going mouldy over time.

6. Dry your brushes - There are a few ways you can do this. The first way is to lie your brushes down on a table/dressers hanging off the side so the bristles have a chance to dry from every angle the air can circulated to. If the brush is flat on a surface the area on the table won't dry. 

The next way is to attach your brushed to a vertical panel. This could be a door/dresser/wardrobe anything really - I personally have a magnetic bulletin board in my room which I used to hang my brushes - I attach a little self adhesive magnet on the back which I got off eBay years ago and let them dry bristles facing downwards just like when we washed them. 

The third options is to buy a "brush tree" you can get these off the internet that are specially made for cosmetic brushes or you may be able to get a brush drying rack from a craft supply shop which is used for paint brushes which I'm sure would do the job just as well. The reason why I didn't include this into the equipment sections is because I personally don't use one of these.

7. Reshape the brush and allow around 24 hours for them to fully dry. You may be able to use them before the 24 hour mark just make sure that they're still not wet as it can cause extra bacterial to build. If you can't wait that long use a blow-dryer on a low setting and gently dry them.

And there you go!
Simple!
It is important to stay on top of washing your brushes regulatory to stop bacteria build up which can cause spots, blackhead, clogged pores and in some cases very server acne. There shouldn't really be an excuse as to why your makeup brushes aren't cleaned and cared for and I feel embarrassed by how long I have left mine. It is recommended to wash your main face brushed every 1-2 weeks and eye brushes can be done every 4-5 weeks depending on how much product build up there is on them.

Batiste 2in1 Dry Shampoo & Conditioner - Review

Hey Guys!

So recently Batiste sent me some of their new range of dry shampoo to try!

First of all Thank you Batiste for sending them me it was a lovely surprise to receive!

Next the smell of these are AMAZING and the packaging is so pretty and sleek!

I love the white packaging with the bright pops of colours 

I got sent the Orange & Pomegranate and Vanilla & Passionfruit.

There is another one in this collection which I haven't tried which I believe is Cocoa & Cashmere.

This dry shampoo is meant to be perfect for refreshing and removing excess oil in your hair while still conditioning it from the roof to the tip.

Many of you may not know but I have naturally curly & thick hair that has a mind of its own. I will post a photo at the end for this blog to show you what my hair is like.

I also colour my hair regularly which can cause my hair to dry out.

Many dry shampoos I have used in the pass have left my hair so dry from it absorbing all the oil that its looked like straw. This dry shampoo was different - it did leave a shine to my hair but there was one big downside with it for me.

It says on the can to shake the can, hold it 30cms away from your hair and spray in a halo like motion (in a circle above your head) but due to having really thick hair it didn't reach everywhere it needed too so I ended up having to section off my hair and spray it that way. I'm not sure if the reason for it turning sections of my hair white was due to sectioning it off but it wouldn't rub into my scalp and because my hair is curly I have zero percent chance of getting a brush though my hair to get rid of it so I needed up having to wet my hair and let it dry naturally during the day which at times it would have just been easier for me to wash my hair and let it dry over night.

I will defiantly buy this product again in the future - I always like to take a travel dry shampoo with me when I go away for the weekend or so just so I have a backup incase I can't get to wash my hair for some reason or I need to add some texture to my flat hair.

If you follow THIS LINK it will take you to the Orange & Pomegranate on the boots website which is currently on 3 for 2! It retails for 4.49.

What is your favourite dry shampoo?

21 going on 81. ♥

Hey guys!
This is going to be a bit of a rambling post so I apologize in advance.

Over the past couple of weeks I have seen many of my facebook friends and people who I follow on twitter posting about parties and getting drunk etc and it's got me wondering...

I'm not judging anyone of how they live their life or how they choose to make decisions because each to their own but it got me thinking about how I live my life.
I have a few confessions. 

#1 - I have never been on a night up town. 

For me it's not something that interests me and that I want to do. I could think of nothing worse than going into a club, getting off my face and stumbling home. And let's not get into how much I know some people spend in one night, it's more than my heart can take and well I just see it as concert ticket money haha!
Yes I live my life going to concert and popping to the pub when my friends are back from university and I'm perfectly fine with this. I don't understand how people can count down until the weekend to get drunk and "forget everything". I'm not saying that I will never ever go into a club because there may be a time that I do but at the moment it's not on my list of priorities. Honestly if I don't ever in my life go to a club I wouldn't be bothered and feel like I have 'missed out'.

#2 - I have never gotten that drunk that I can't remember the night before.
I saw a facebook post the other day with someone saying they couldn't remember last night and it was a "messy" one. Again I could think of nothing worse. I enjoy spending time with my friends and making memories that will last a lifetime than to drink them all away and have no recollection of the night before apart from a banging head from all the booze. I know you don't have to drink when you go to places like a club but when you ask people what you do a club they will tell you that you have a little dance, get drunk and 'enjoy yourself'.

I'm not aiming this post at anyone in particular because I couldn't care less how you live you life if i'm honest it's just something that has been on my mind for a while - you do you boo!

Anyways many people who I see post these types of thing are at university and I fully understand that's what you do to let off steam from the week and spend time with your mates but I am someone who owns their own business and works 7 days of the week for around 12 hours a day. This includes being on my feet all day at the shop making cakes to answering facebook and any other enquires at every hour of the day (I have had people message me as early as 3 - 4am in the morning right up until midnight in one day). The thing I enjoy the most is coming home, getting into my PJ's and relaxing with a cup of tea and some rubbish TV every night and weekend when I can.

I guess it's just the generation we live in now a days. I am an old soul I know that. I act more like im 81 than 21 sometime but can drop to acting like a 4 year old at a drop of a hat haha!

If you read this and you are one of these people who enjoy going up town maybe you think i'm strange for not experiencing what you do most weekends and sometimes of a weekday but we each choose our own path in life and I think it's wonderful we have our own views else this world would be a boring one haha!

I know this is a random post but I just wanted to let it all out.

I hope you're all okay

Jack Whitehall - 160217 ♥

Hey guys!
The other day I went to see Jack Whitehall at the Genting arena with Jessica!
When we first booked tickets I was a tad dubious as to if he will be as funny as he is on TV. Jess had seen him before and said he was funny and she wasn't wrong he was hilarious! Right from the beginning of the show my sides were hurting from laughing so much.
I don't know any other comedian that can ride on a horse so casually have it take a poop of the stage and make such a drama out of it seem so funny as he did!

He has so many stories to tell from him playing 'Would You Rather' with a 13 year old at a wedding to his awkward situation with one of his friends 'Dave' who he was keeping his identity a secret for the sake of his friend since the story was all to do with the royal family - to be specific Prince Harry but later revealed not only is name but his twitter handle as told people to start tweeting him about the story!

My favourite part about the whole show has to be the story about his little part in a well known film - Frozen - He played he character Gothi the Troll. Does sound familiar? There is a reason for that... They cut him out of the film. The ending of the show was all to do with this with a lady singing 'Let It Go' and jack following onto the stage dressed in a green inflatable suit dress more like shrek than a troll!

It was a wonderful night and I will definitely be going to see him again in the future if he tours Birmingham.
Have you guys see him?

Here are a few photo of the night to finish off the post - Enjoy!

The Money Jar. ♥

Hey guys!

I hope you're all okay!

I ended last year with hardly any money to call my own as most of my money goes into my business. 

I vowed this year that I would try and save some money so I knew come the end of the year I could spend a little on myself in which ever way I choose.

Over the past couple of year I have seen the '356 day' money jar challenge going around which is where you put 1p in a jar on day 1 and each day you add 1p extra in each time. So on day 3 you will but 3p into the jar and on day 112 you will put £1.12 in ect. Over the whole year you end up with £667.95 at the end of the year which is and amazing idea.

However I am one of those people who will forget about the whole challenge by day 20 and won't remember again until day 50. 

So this year I have just decided to put any amount in a jar at the end of the week. Everytime I get given a £2 coin it automatically goes in the money jar at the end of the week along with any small change like 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p. My first week I put £6 in and at the end of this week I have put £12 in. All together so far I have about £26.30 and we are only 3 weeks into January. Not every month is going to be as high in value as others but thats okay because it is all adding up to the bigger picture. I can't wait to look back at the end of the year and see how much I have put into the jar!

What do you guys think of the '365 day' challenge? Are any of you doing it this year?\

Sleep.

Hey guys!

Over the past couple of days I have struggled to sleep.

I'm not 100% sure why. I don't know if it's because I am stressed about the upcoming week as I have 5 cakes booked in or what.

I was doing research about 'Why I couldn't sleep' because in this day and age the first thing you do with any question you may have about anything from general knowledge to what type of illness you may have, which let me just add is such a bad idea! Half of the time it comes back that you are dying or had a serious condition and half the time it's something simple like a cold but while researching I came across some articles which spoke about using a phone before trying to go to sleep. 

Blue light keep the mind awake even when you turn down the brightness on your phone like I always do as I have notifications coming through from twitter. Has anyone else noticed that even with the new 'Night Mode' that apple has added ITS STILL TOO BRIGHT!!!

So I have recently started to not go on my phone from about 10:30pm or 11pm just to give my eyes a rest from my phone screen. I still watch about 30 minutes of TV once in bed but I have been trying to relax with no lights on by 11:30pm or 12pm to help me sleep. This has honestly worked a treat. I have been able to get to sleep quicker and woke up more freshed. I am always on my phone I have to be with most of my customers coming from facebook. However it is always a good idea to take a step back and have a break and that what I plan on doing more this year. Everyone needs sleep to function and sometime I feel like I need to more than most haha!

How much sleep do you guys get a night?

Calmurid Pro - Body Lipolotion & Moisturising Hand cream Review ♥

Hey guys!

Today's post is going to be on Calmurid Pro

Body Lipolition & Moisturising Handcream

I have recently been sent these product to try and review and I'm not going to make to wait until the end of the post to see if I like the products or not I'm going to tell you right now that I LOVE THEM!

As you guys know from previous posts I have very dry skin and all year round my skin finds a reason to dry out from it being too cold out or being too hot. It get instantly bad to the point where I can't wear makeup without looking like I haven't exfoliated my face in years. I also suffer with dry skin on my legs which can be very very itchy.

Like any other dry skin products I don't really have high expectations as they all say how great they are and they end up doing nothing at all. I had never heard of this brand before and went I googled them nothing really showed up apart from the links to them on boots. 

You can find them here - Hand 
Cream & Lipolotion

The Hand Cream retails for £7.99 and the Body Lipolotion retails originally for £12.99 but has £3 off at the moment on the boots website making it £9.99.

I bet many of you reading this looked at the price and thought "Nearly £13 for some dry body skin cream... forget that". I did the same. However that was before I used it!

The hand cream is a lovely thick creamy texture which blend out beautifully and doesn't leave my hand feeling oily or sticky. This product contains emollients and vitamin B3 which is said to relieve and nourish dry and damaged skin. It is fragrance Free, has no additional colourants and contains 29% lipid. I do get dry hands from time to time with always washing up before, during and after cake making. This does a wonderful job of repairing my hands making them look soft and touchable again!

I gave my mom some of this in a small tub and of a morning and a night time she would apply a small amount. She has been doing this now for about a week and not only herself but I and others can tell her difference, her hands are no longer cracked and dry but lovely and smooth!

The Body Lipolotion is my favourite of the two. Like I said in the beginning I use this both on my face and my body so it is great all in one product. I haven't had any breakout from using it on my face which is always a big downfall with any other dry skin brands even though they say they are for sensitive skin. This lotion forms a protective barrier. It is a natural moisturizer which increases the water content in the skin due to it only having 4% of urea. Like the hand cream it has no additional colourants and contains 39% lipid. The consistency of this product is quite thin and is slightly watery but this is perfect not to create a sticky heavy layer on the skin still giving your skin chance to breathe.

I had been sent some samples to give to other people to try and everyone I have given them to love it just as much as me! My Step nan is a HUGE fan. She get very dry legs due to her medical conditions and everything the doctors have given her hasn't worked at all. This has worked wonders for her and has gone out and brought herself two bottles while they are £9.99 each!

Both of the products are white in colour and both have the same sort of smell. If I'm being honest it remind me a lot of cosmetics my nan would have in the back of her draws but its not an off putting smell at all. Honestly even if the products had a nasty smell I would still love them. They work better than any other products I have tried in a while and I will 110% be repurchasing the Body Lipolotion which I have used it all up which I think may be a while as its a 200ml bottle and I only use a tiny amount each time as a little goes a long way!

Have you guys ever heard of this brand or tried anything from them?
Let me know what you think!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Restoring Body Lotion & Butter Honey Treasures - Review ♥

Hey guys!
Today's post is going to be on 'Garnier Ultimate Blends Restoring Body Lotion & Butter Honey Treasures for Very Dry Skin' 

I was sent these products a while ago to review. I would have done this review earlier but I always like to try out body lotions and body butter for a few weeks before giving my opinion on them so I can give you an in depth review on the product.

If i'm being honest if I wasn't sent this product to review I probably wouldn't have picked it up for myself unless I had heard brilliant things from others.

I'm not a huge fan of body lotions and butters as they usually take FOREVER to soak into the skin and you can't get dressed for a while after putting it on and i usually just skip it completely.

There are 4 ultimate options in this range all to suit to your skin;

Delicate Oat (Dry sensitive) 

A gentle blend of oat cream and almond milk oil, carefully tailored to soothe and restore sensitive skin.

Mythic Olive (Dry Skin) 

An authentic Mediterranean scent made from a powerful elixir of extra virgin olive oil to nourish and hydrate dry skin.

Marvellous Oils (Normal Skin) 

This precious mixture of argan and camellia oil is a wonderful ritual to help keep skin hydrated and soft.

Honey Treasures (Very Dry Skin) 

Very dry skin is a thing of the past thanks to three treasures from the beehive to nourish and restore.

I do suffer from very dry skin on my face and on patches on my body.

First of all the smell of these products are beautiful. It is such a difficult smell to try and describe but it has a light floral smell. It smells soooo good, you will just have to take my word for it if you can't get around to smelling it!
The products contain 3 treasures from the beehive which are Royal Jelly to restore moisture back into the skin, Propolis which acts as a protective barrier to the skin and Honey to nourish and smooth!

The one thing i like about these products is that they do sink straight into the skin and like it says on the packaging "non greasy, non sticky" which is always what you want when you want to put in that little extra time pampering yourself but don't want to have to wait a year for it to try and skin but just plastering a greasy layer over the top.

I first tried the body butter after a shower and loved how it just melts into the skin. Some body butters I have used in the past are all clumpy and leave little gritty bits on the skin. This doesn't do that at all! The body butter is really good for people who suffer with dry skin on their feet. I know it is not intentionally used for the feet but if you apply this product before you go to bed and put warm fluffy socks that have been on the radiator on and left to soak in overnight to then wash your feet the morning after your feet feel so smooth and silky it's amazing! 

The next week I used the lotion which comes with a very handy pump topper. The consistency of this product is nice and thin meaning it soaks into the skin nice and quick for you to get dressed. I like to use this mainly on my arms, chest and hands. This product is better if you are in a rush and wanting to moisturise your skin before quickly needing to throw on some clothes and leave the house. If you have more time the butter is better and I feel moisturises the skin more.

It is going to take me a while to get through these products but I do look forward to carrying on using it to see if in the long run it does help clear up my dry skin in the long run.

If you would like to buy these products you can find them at your local drugstore or supermarket!
Have you guys tried this product?

Do you like it?

Hope you guys liked the review and are all well!

Sweet Indulgence Cakes ♥

Hey guys!
I have been putting this post off so much but I am finally getting round to posting it!
As you guys may have already read in previous posts I have started up my own business. Its a Cake designing & Making business!
My friend Jessica has been making cakes for her family for a while now and I have been able to help her out with a few from time to time when I didn't have any college work going on and I really enjoyed it! Not only the opportunity to work with my best friend but to be able to get my creativity flowing and coming up with ideas on how to create a cake and develop it into a physical thing. 

It got me thinking about what I was going to be doing once I had left college... I try to get a job at a beauty counter and try and make my way up the board or set up a freelance business but none of those seemed to make me feel excited or give me any sort of drive. 

So I was brainstorming and after visiting the job centre with Jess we were told about the Princes Trust that help you out with a start up loan for you to start your own business. We had spoke in the past about doing cakes full time but never thought that it would happen. I took the course and did all the paperwork and my loan got accepted! I then put in for a shop a few miles away from home to set up a base for us to do our cakes from and from their we have just been growing! We opened 12th December 2015. I wanted to open on this day as it was my grandads birthday who has sadly passed and wanted their to be a connection to the date.

I hope the future is full of lovely customers and beautiful cakes but who knows. All we can do is dream and keep out fingers and toes crossed!

The Vamps 'Wake Up' Album Review ♥

Hey guys!
Today's Post is going to be a little review on The Vamps New Album!
If you guys have been reading this blog for sometime you will know I am a huge fan of the vamps and love nothing more than getting to see them live!
The boys are amazing musicians and honestly don't get enough credit for their amazing songs and lets not even mention Bradley Simpson's vocals... I could honestly talk about the boy all day! The little cutie!
ANYWAYS!
Back to what this post is actually about!

So back in November the album was released and since then I haven't stopped listening to it. Every song is an absolute tune. There is a song to suit every mood. I can't wait to see them perform some of the song live on their tour this year! I am sooo excited! Are you guys going to any of the tour dates?
This album has to be one of my favs of all time.

I love their first album and always will but some of the songs on this album are a lot better and show how much the boys have grown as not only artists but in themselves.

Can we also just for one second talk about the album cover?!
The blue colours are beautiful (My Fav Colours). The new logos are stunning and the boys on the cover are looking fabulous af.
What are your favourite tracks on this new album?
I love 'I Found A Girl', 'Million Words', 'Stolen Moments', 'Cheater', 'Half Way There', 'Peace of Mind' & 'Written Off'... Who am I kidding?! I LOVE ALL OF THEM!

There is not one bad song on the whole album.
If you haven't listened to it you need to right now.
You can listen to it on spotify, purchase it on iTunes, Amazon, Etc.
You guys know where you can get it from!
What are you waiting for? Go bless your eyes with the beautiful music of the Vamps and enjoy every second of it!

George ASDA - Face Primer Review

Hey guys!
Hope you are all okay!
Today post is going to be on the George ASDA - Face Primer.
I have been looking for a new primer and while looking in ASDA a couple of months ago I came across this! It was on sale for £3.50 instead of £5 so decided to give it a go!
I haven't heard much about this primer even after looking on the internet once home there was a few reviews.

On some reviews people were going on about how when they first opened and squeezed out some of the product a load of oil came out alongside meaning it has separated in the packaging. This didn't happen to me. I was worried it was going to. If this does happen to you give it a good shake for a few minutes to try and join them back together.

The product has a slight tint and I mean a slight slight tint to it when blended into the skin. You can see from the swatch above the colour it comes out of the packaging. It doesn't cover all redness but I do have quite red cheeks, if you has little less pigmented patches of red on the face it may do a good job in covering it giving you a neutral base to apply over.

One downside with this product is that it does not like being put over the top of other moisturisers. Its starts to create bobbly bits and starts to separate which isn't a cute look at all. 

The primer is moisturising to a point but throughout the day it does start todry out on your skin and clings to the dry patches on my face and caused my nose to become really oily after some time.
I found when I do wear this primer halfway through the day I do have to powder my nose again just to get rid of what oils the primer has caused my pores on my nose to produce.

It creases like mad under my eyes and overall give my face a weird looking texture.

Its not a bad primer it just isn't the best I have tried for the price.
I'm glad I gave it ago for £3.50 but would have been mortified if I had paid £5 for it.

New Year, Same Me Just A Few Changes ♥

Hey guys!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope you all had a wonderful christmas and new year with your loved ones!
Every year the quote "New Year, New Me" gets used ALOT.
Everyone says it and within a month they are back to the same person they used to be doing the same old things.
I've decided this year i'm not going for a 'New Me' I'm simply going to stay who I was last year but make a few life changes.
I always used to be the person who make new year resolutions and within a month they are out of the window and all forgot about but this year feels different so I hope they stick.

Diets are always on the top of everyone's list when it comes to making a change in the new year and i'm no different. This year I've started to watch what I am eating, drinking loads of water and trying to stay more active.

I have recently set up on own business which I have been keeping a secret for a few months now (I'll do a blog post on it soon, I promise). I hope this year brings luck upon the business, allowing it to lift off the ground the way I am hoping. I plan on getting myself out there and putting every bit of strength and willpower into making this business work. Motivation is key and I started to lack it at the end of the last year but I am trying to lift myself back up and get inspiration in any way that I can to build this business up to be what I want it to be.

Family and Friends are a huge part of my life and this year I plan on trying to spend more time with them between running my business. This year already looks bright with the concerts me and Jess have going to and I couldn't be going to see them with anyone better than her! I plan for more adventures for us to go to random places we decide upon the day before. I plan on having evenings where we all sit together as a family and play games and enjoy each others company more. I also hope this year brings happiness to everyone I know.

Many of what I classed as friends have disappeared over the past year. Some have changed in ways I couldn't and didn't want to keep up with and looking back on it as bad as it sounds i'm rather happy with letting them go out of my life. I have no harsh feeling towards these people don't get me wrong I wish the best for them in whatever they are doing right now but I'm glad i'm not apart of their life's anymore.

This blog has been apart of my life for a few years now and it will always be a love of mine. Last year I was posting twice a week and rarely missed a post. However with now trying to run my business I am going to have take the posts down to one a week and my upload day will be on Sunday. (The only day I get off haha) I hope you guys are okay with this and still enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it.

This year I hope you. Yes you reading this have a wonderful year. I hope you get to go places, see things and people you have never seen before and wake up every day with a smile on your face ready for another beautiful day. I hope you get the exam results you are looking for in your school years and get jobs you have been dreaming about since you were younger.
I wish happiness for you.
I wish happiness for my family, friends and myself.

I wish happiness for the whole world.

I hope you all have a wonderful new year
See you back here next sunday with another blog post!
