things you wouldn't know about me

when i got my new phone, i needed to wipe my old one, so i put all my 1000's of photos onto my laptop. i found some embarrassing ones, cute ones, ones i'd forgotten about, and ones i'll never forget. here's some of them, with facts about me. most of them you wouldn't know about.

enjoy.

the music is my FAVOURITEEE song right now: Chocolate by The 1975

what's on my iphone? & Blackberry Bold 9900 review

so recently i got an iphone, and so far i've been loving it, but surprisingly i'm not really missing bbm that much! so for all you blackberry people that want an iphone, but can't face getting rid of bbm, just go for it, as iphone's are reaaaally good, trust me! 

my blackberry bold 9900, was extremely slow! it crashed and froze and drove me insane more than once each day, so its a big relief to finally get a phone that works!

also my memory or whatever wasn't working on my blackberry, so i couldn't take any photos or videos, which drove me mad too! overall it was a really good phone, it was slim, easy to hold, looked good, great to type with and i loved the software, but enough was enough. 

btw: i only had my blackberry since October 2012, thats how bad it was. 

i've been getting over excited with trying new apps recently, but i haven't got that many right now, so if you know any that i don't have please tell me;;) thanks, and enjoyyy

February Beauty Favourites Part 2

we meet again;)

lets get started with the second part of my Beauty Favourites of February:) 

Here are all the products I'll be reviewing -------->

Shower Gel:- Radox Limited Edition Eastern Spirit Shower Therapy 

- with oriental lotus flower & orange blossom 

I bought this randomly once, just because I liked the look of the packaging. But turns out it's as good as it looks! I love how its really thick and creamy, and creates amazing bubbles, which is always a bonus;) I also love that it has a little hook to hang it up with;) This is made with natural ingredients, leaving you energised and ready for the day. This little buddy smells florally (if that's even a word) and it's shimmery. Overall I love this guy.. or girl

Bath Soak:- Radox Eastern Spirit Bath Soak

- a blend with oriental lotus flower & orange blossom 

'Feel Good Fragrance' exactly that. Whenever I've had a rough day, or it's extra cold outside or I ache from dance or gymnastics, this is perfect to lie and relax in. Like I said with the shower gel, it creates amazing bubbles, and fills the bathroom with gorgeous smells. This is amazing with a few blossom scented candles to create that perfect pamper relaxation evening. 

Hair Mask:- Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends - Split End Protection Mask 

- for dry/damaged hair 

- with red raspberry & silk extracts 

To use this I simply: 

Wash my hair with shampoo

Lavish hair from root to tip with this product (giving extra attention to those tips)

Leave for up to 5 minutes

Then rinse well 

This hair mask smells just like raspberries and its so creamy and yummy. To be honest all herbal essence products smell superrr! this stuff just soothes those cheeky split ends and gives your hair great protection. This was one great purchase:) However it doesn't make your split ends vanish, so it't not an alternative for a haircut!

Finishing Touch Cream:- Once again: Herbal Essences 'Tousle Me Softly' 

- for naturally wavy hair (eurghh, curse my wavy hair)

- with wild violet extracts 

Another one of my many herbal essences products. This one I've had for a while, but its just amazing for when you want your hair to look and smell good the following day! This makes your hair feels super soft! I mean so soft you could get it confused with a blanket or marshmallow or something haha..ok sorry, that was weird. 

Back to the point; I love my hair to smell strong, not over-powering, but I want people to be able to smell my hair in the breeze or whatever. So if you're like me, and want your hair to smell extra clean, then this is the tub for you!

Deep Cleansing Lotion:- Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin 

- oil fighting formula 

- cleanses effectively and helps prevent spots

To apply this, just pour a generous amount on a cotton pad thing, and wipe over your face and neck. This tingles your skin, which I don't consider to be a bad thing, because at least you know its doing something! This is amazing for at night as it smells so fresh and makes your skin feel super clean! By the way, I use this instead of make-up wipes, as I feel like I don't wear much make-up to fill a whole wipe, so I feel like I waste it..I don't even know what I'm saying. But yeah, another amazing product. 

Cream Face Wash:- Clean and Clear (again) Deep Action 

- oil free 

- cleans down to the pores for really clear skin

Once again, Clean and Clear products never fail for me! I'm obsessed with nice smelling things, and this smells like summers breeze..you know what I mean? Anyway, to apply this, I simply put warm water on a face towel/flannel and wipe it over my face (after removing make-up) then massage this into my face. Then I wait for a bit, even though it says doesn't..rebel. Normally I'll brush my teeth or something while I wait. Once again it starts to tingle your face, this means its clean. So then I wet my face flannel again and wipe it all off :) I don't use this on a regular basis, but I wish I did, it works amazingly. Honest. 

CLOTHING ITEM OF FEBRUARY

Disco Pants :) 

Wow I love this little bundle of joy..I'm in such a crazy mood tonight, just ignore me. 

These a perfect for parties where you don't want to dress up fancy, but you wanna look totally sexy and amazing;) They're high wasted, which I adore, so I paired it with just a simple Hollister Tee, just because its super soft and the colour is wow. Also because this top is far too long for me, so when its tucked in, it rocks. 

This also looks amazing for dressy parties too, if you pair it with heels and a fancy top, you'll be looking totally gorgeooussss. 

Sorry about the weird background, my little en-suite isn't the best to be taking photos in..but its purple and sexy, and the light's pretty good. 

This concludes my February Beauty Favourites! I hope I didn't bore you, but I had fun haha;) Look forward to next month when I'll do my March Favourites! woo

BIG SHOUTOUT TO KYLE DODD .. HE'S MY OTHER BIG FAN, mwah xo

February Beauty Favourites Part 1

Starting with hairspray: VO5 Strong Hold Weather Resistant Hairspray. 

This stuff is good. I mean really good. I only really use hairspray when I tease my hair, so it's often hard to brush afterwards. But brushing this out is a dream! 
5 Vital Benefits:
All day hold - brushes out easily leaving hair soft.

Weather Protection - shield against humidity, preventing frizz for 24 hours.

Ultrafine fast-drying spray - no sticky residue.

Healthy Shine- finish of your style.

UV Filter - protects against environmental damage.

BB Cream: Rimmel London BB Cream 

wow,where to start? 9 in 1 skin perfecting super make-up:
Primes 
Moisturises
Minimises Pores
Conceals
Covers
Smooths
Mattifies
Brightens
Helps Protect 
PS: this has amazing coverage and this stuff smells like sun cream, perfect to get you in the summery mood;) mmmm

Mascara: Maybelline New York 'Le Colossal Volum' Express Mascara' 

I hated this at first, I felt like it didn't define my lashes enough. But recently I've been pairing it with 2 other mascaras to get a fuller look. This is perfect for smokey eyes though:) 
Other 2 mascaras I paired it with: 

Rimmel London - Volume Flash THE MAX Bold Curves 'Our Biggest Curve Ever!' 
Rimmel London - Scandaleyes Extreme Black
love my Rimmel Mascaras:)

Fragrance: Surprise Surprise! - Justin Bieber Girlfriend 

I could eat this little baby! It smells sweet and exciting and beautiful. This makes me feel like I smell perfect, because Justin must love this scent:')

It smells similar to his first perfume 'Someday'  but more mature and lady-like;)
Plus the packaging is BOOM. 

Concealer: Rimmel London 'Wake Me Up' Liquid Concealer

Thought I'd give liquid concealer a go. Oh wow, what a good idea that was! this baby's coverage is amazing! the title says it all 'Wake Me Up' that's exactly what it does. Especially when you look extra tired in the morning! A lot of people have raved about the foundation of this, however I'm not really a foundation girl, but if its as good as this, then i'll be trying it soon! I apply this with a PINK concealer brush, oh yes. 

That concludes part 1 of my Beauty Favourites of February! I've been wild the past month and tried some amazing products that I'll definitely be buying again! I'll be doing other random none beauty related favourites soon too! Keep an eye out :p 

Hope you enjoyed, love you all, speak soon xo
