♡My Love For Cara Delevingne♡

Hello lovelies this post is one that I have chosen to do myself and it has not been requested but I thought that I would tell you about my love for Cara Delevingne and where it all came from.

I suppose the obvious thing to tell you is why I love her and there's quite a few reasons but I will tell you them.

Firstly she is beautiful and she always looks perfect, she is one of the prettiest models I have ever seen and I'm not normally a huge fan of any models but I think that Cara Delevingne is just so beautiful and she just stands out. She also has a great personality (from what I have read and seen anyway haha) in lots of picture she is wearing onesies and other silly costumes and always pulling faces which shows that she is not like other snobby, posh models who think there too good for anything. Shes always having fun and shes never worried about anyone getting a picture of her when she doesn't look her best. 

The whole nation loves her at the moment and she is in every single magazine but I found out about her when everyone started hyping and uploading photos of Cara on instagram and suddenly I became obsessed and now she is my idol. I just think she is amazing, so beautiful and deserves all the attention.

♡Tips And Tricks To Grow Long Nails♡

Hello blogger friends, now my iPhone is letting me upload my photos onto my laptop which means more frequent blogging YAY. So I will start with a post that has been very highly requested on instagram which is tips on how I grow my nails. On instagram I always get asked how I grow my nails and I dont have any specific way I just have 10 tips and tricks which may help you to grow yours so lets just get into it!

Firstly I just thought I'd let you know that I don't use any nail growing products and I have had long nails since I can remember  For nail polish remover I use the Sally Hansen 'regular nail polish remover for all nail types' and it isn't a good nail polish remover to use as it contains acetone which is harmful to the nails (oopsy). I paint my nails every Sunday and I can't stand how my nails look when they aren't painted so painting them is like a ritual to me haha. Firstly I take off my old nail polish, file them in a square shape, paint them with a normal nail polish e.g. Avon nailwear pro in apricot (in the picture below) and then I use my favorite top coat over the top. The top coat that I use is Sally Hansen 'insta-dry' and I love this and I will defenitley be re-purchasing this again in the future, it literally dries my nails in around 40 seconds, makes them super shiny and stops them from chipping. 

10 Tips And Tricks That You Could Try:
1. Try and use an acetone free nail polish remover (unlike me) because acetone weakens the nails and dries them out so your nails will break very easily.
2. Try not to bite your nails (I know that this can be hard for some people) personally I feel ill at even the thought of biting my nails and I have never done it but if this is your habit then try and stop if you can.
3. Don't use your nails as tools to open things e.g cans or tins as this will make them break very easily.
4. If you are going to cut your nails then cut them whilst they are wet as this will help to prevent breakage on the rest of the nail.
5. Moisturize your nails and cuticles as this will keep them hydrated and nourished. I reccomend using the Vaseline hand cream in the pink tube, its great.
6. I don't know if this helps a lot but I always wear nail polish and I suppose this acts as like a second coat to your nails (if you know what I mean haha) so it makes them thicker and stronger and it makes them less likely to break. Even if you don't wear nail polish or your not allowed to wear it to school then you could just wear a clear top coat to keep them healthy.
7. keep good care of them, so file them every now and then to make sure there not going to catch on things which will break and chip them.
8. When you file your nails, file them in one direction so they don't get weaker and break.
9. I don't use one but maybe you could try using a 'fast nail growth' top coat (I think Sally Hansen do one) because this would help them to grow faster.
10. If your really serious about growing your nails then you could take Biotin which is a vitamin that helps skin, hair and nails to grow healthier and quicker. Its the vitamin that is found in most skin, hair and nail tablets but by taking pure Biotin it will work faster. You can buy this from Holland & Barret.

On the top left are my natural nails with no nail polish on, the bottom right is my nails when they have been freshly filed and painted and the other picture is the nail polish remover and top coat that I use and love.

♡My Thoughts On - Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips♡

Hello everyone, today I am going to be doing another 'my thoughts on' post, I apologize if you do not like these types of posts but I have had a few requests on Instagram and this was one of them. Anyway this post is going to be a review on the Biore deep cleansing pore strips. I purchased mine in Boots for half price reduced from £10.99 to around £5. Mine are the combo strips so the pack contains 7 nose strips and 7 face strips and you can buy packs with just 7 nose strips in but at the time these were the cheapest so I thought it would be a better deal. I have used the strips a few times now and I am impressed with them. It comes with full instructions on the box but basically you remove the plastic backing from the strip and apply to it to your nose or forehead (which has to be wet so the strip can stick to the skin) then you leave it to work for around 10-15 minutes then you remove the strip and its as simple as that! There super easy to use and the results are great, I can defenitley see that the pores around my nose are less clogged when I remove the strip and I can feel that it has taken away all the oil from my pores which is fantastic. I reccomend getting these if you have oily skin, clogged pores or blackheads because they will help to reduce the appearance of all these things. All in all these are brilliant and they really do work so I will defenitley be re-purchasing them when they are on offer again, thanks for reading

♥My Thoughts On - Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation♥

Hello blogger friends, today I will be doing a review on the Rimmel London match perfection foundation and again this is another post which has been requested from one of my lovely Instagram followers.


Firstly I'll start off by saying that this foundation is available in boots, superdrug and probably many other shops and mine was £6.99 (but its on offer for £4.99 and the link is below) from superdrug in the shade 101 light porcelain. I went into superdrug intending to repurchase the Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer and I saw this foundation and I had to treat myself and buy it because everyone was hyping about it, so I did.

 Ever since I bought it I have used it every single day as It's a really light foundation and doesn't feel heavy on the skin so its perfect to wear to school as is makes your skin look really natural. I'd say the coverage from this foundation is medium because I have very oily skin, lots of freckles and blemishes and the foundation does cover any redness and blemishes but I wouldn't say it covers freckles completely. The finish of this foundation is probably in the middle again as its not completely matte but its not shiny although I still like to use a pressed powder to set it with and reduce shine. This foundation is made to match your skin tone perfectly and to be honest I think it does as most foundations that I try are always too orange even when I buy the palest shade and they always look really dark on my skin tone. However this is one of the only foundations that I have tried that actually matches my skin tone and looks really natural which is great! When I apply this foundation I use my Cosmopolitan beauty blender to blend it in and set it with a pressed powder as I said before and I think it blends really easily. All in all I think this foundation is really good, its a very affordable price and I really like it. I would defenitley repurchase it although I do like to try new products.

Buy the foundation here - http://www.superdrug.com/face/rimmel-match-perfect-foundation-light-porcelain/invt/541561/

I hope this helped you and I hoped you like it please leave any feedback, drugstore foundations that you reccomend and any blog post requests in the comments below and I will defenitley reply, thank you

♥My Favorite Lush Products♥

So on Instagram I asked you what you wanted me to post next and someone told me to do a post on what my favorite lush products are so I thought I would because lush is by far one of my favorite shops ever and I always end up spending all my money in there oopss.


I think that its safe to save almost everybody loves snow fairy shower gel and yes I do know that this is only available at Christmas time unfortunetly but I have cleverly stocked up this year and I have a huge bottle which hopefully will last me *cross fingers*. It smells like bubblegum and sweets and has lots of iridescent glitter in it which makes me feel like a princess woop woop! I also got mine whilst it was half price so it was such a good deal.


Sorry that most of the products on here are pink but what can I say. Bubble bars are my favorite thing from lush and the comforter is one of the best in my opinion. It smells like berries and I break it up into smaller chunks so I usually get around 4 pink, bubbly baths from it so its well worth the money (it costs around £4 I think). I just love getting home from a hard day at school and getting in a red hot, pink bubbly bath that smells like berries and putting on my onesie afterwards, now that is my idea of heaven.



The magic wand bubble band is another pink, Christmas product sorry but I love this so so much! Its just like a bubble bar but on a stick shaped like a fairy wand so when you swirl it around your tub to create bubbles you feel like a magical fairy princess, or at least I do anyway. It smells identical to snow fairy shower gel (mentioned above) and you can use it up to 6 times so again its worth the money and I think mine cost around £5 sorry that I don't know the exact prices. All I do is run a hot bath and when it gets about half way full I swish this around the tub until the water turns a light dusty pink, bubbles are starting to appear and my whole bathroom smells like a fairy princess castle (you can tell that I love princesses can't you haha).


The next product is surprisingly not pink, but it is inside haha. This is the enchanter bath ballistic and it was a Halloween product but now they are keeping it in stores permanently because everyone loved it so much! It smells really fresh and zingy and it is great for that wake me up bath in a morning. When you drop it into your bathtub is creates hot pink, orange and yellow swirl patterns and it almost looks like a beautiful, bright sunset. 


So the last product is pink, sorry I just had to include it, it's the twilight bath ballistic and everyone I know loves this one. Its pink, purple and blue inside and it even includes glitter to make the bath even more magical. It smells like lavender and its huge! I love this bath ballistic and on every shopping trip I always end up popping into Lush and buying some of these,oops.

Hope you liked this blog post, please leave any feedback or future blog requests in the comments below or let me know what your favorite lush products are, goodbye for now lovelies.

♡Face Washes And Scrubs♡

Hi everyone long time no posts so I will start this post by apologizing for not posting anything in quite a while. The reason why I have not been posting is because I have not been able to upload any pictures or photos to my laptop from my phone and camera so I haven't had any pictures to include in my posts. But I thought that I should still do some posts so for the time being I am going to be using pictures from Google images so please bear with me.

Anyway after that ramble I am going to be doing a post on the face washes and scrubs that I have tried, so like mini reviews on them,enjoy:)

 So the first product is the Neutrogena visibly clear blackhead eliminating daily scrub (I know its a long name haha) and you can buy this from superdrug for £4.49. I have been using this for quite a while now and I like it. This product is definetley a scrub and has exfoliating beads in it to help reduce the appearance of blackheads and I bought this because I tend to get quite a lot of annoying blackheads around my nose. After using this scrub I have noticed less blackheads but I have to say it doesn't change too much. Its a very creamy scrub and I think it smells like oranges but I may be wrong.

The second product is the boots skin clear daily face scrub and I only got this because it was half price for only £1.49 obviously from boots. Also I only got this because I wanted a cheap scrub to take on holiday with me and now I am using it at home because I love it so much! I love the texture of this scrub because again it has the exfoliating micro beads in it to help reduce oil on the skin. I have really oily skin and this scrub definetley helps to reduce oil and helps reduce the size and redness of spots which is why I love this product so much. Also it makes my skin feel really clean,smooth and soft.
The third face wash is not a scrub and it is is the Nivea visage daily essentials and I can't remember it being too expensive and I don't even know if it is still available to buy but I thought I would still do a small review on this too. To be honest I didn't really like using this face wash at all and it does say on the packaging 'normal&combination skin' so I don't really know why I bought it because I have oily skin so I think that is the reason why I didn't like it. It smells really nice but it doesn't have any micro beads so it isn't very exfoliating and it didn't do much to my skin apart from make it feel soft, I don't think I would repurchase this again.


The last face scrub is the Garnier pure anti blackhead deep pore wash which I cannot find the link to and I do not know the price of it because my mum picked it me up because I ran out of my other face washes. I'm pretty sure you would be able to pick it up from boots or superdrug though for only a few pounds. I really like this scrub because it makes your skin feel really clean and fresh and it helps reduce oil on my face. It removes any makeup really well and It smells like cucumber which I don't really like but its not a big problem and the scent doesn't really affect me.

I hope this post was helpful to you and please feel free to reccomend any other face washes or scrubs down below or just leave me any blog post requests which you would like me to do in the future. Thanks for reading and I love you all
