My Favourite Books

Hiii, today I thought I would write about my favourite books! I never used to be a big reader but in the last 2 years or so, I can't seem to put a book down. I like reading certain books because you get more of an experience that watching a film and I think that if you find a book like that, it's definitely worth a read. 


I think there's a couple of books that I've missed out of this but if I think of them I'll just add them in later on! 


The first book is 'Girl Online' by Zoe Sugg (Zoella). I think the story line for this book is amazing, it's so gripping! I really like it because I think it's so hard to write a book and to go from a YouTuber to an author is incredible! I have done a full review on this so go and check that out if you like! 

Next, is 'Love, Tanya' by Tanya Burr. This is one of my favourites because it's really chatty and after I read it I felt I knew a lot more about Tanya. Also, she gives amazing tips on skin, beauty etc so if you're interested in that, then it's a really good read! 

I got this from Alys for my birthday 2 years ago I think and I love it! It's all about Michael Jackson's life through Jermaine Jackson's perspective. It talks about their life when they were really young and growing up to a few years ago. It was really good to read this because I think you learnt a lot more about Michael Jackson by it being written by his brother. 

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS! Obviously, written by John Green! I love the film but the book is so much better! It's such a sad book but it's amazing! I must say, I did cry a lot, however it was definitely worth it! 

This next one was written by Mitch Winehouse about his daughter, Amy. Throughout the book, it talks about her life, how they've dealt with it as a family and how they set up the 'Amy Winehouse Foundation.' I loved Amy Winehouse and it was so sad when she died, especially at such a young age and it was amazing to read about how her family had dealt with it as well. 

'Never Coming Back' by Tim Weaver is an absolutely incredible book!! It's the most gripping book I've ever read, it's amazing! It's amazing how he wrote it, you just don't expect anything that happens and it's incredible! I definitely want to read the others he has written! 

The next one is 'Looking For Alaska' again, by John Green. Personally, this is my favourite book by John Green because you can't judge what's going to happen and it's just very real and yeah, it's amazing! I suggest you read it! 

The next two are both by Giovanna Fletcher, and they're called 'You're The One That I Want' and 'Billy and Me.' I LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH! Giovanna is such an amazing writer and both story lines for these books are incredible! AND, she has another one coming out next month so I'm so so so excited for that!! 

This one isn't exactly a novel but it's still a book I guess so, it's 'The Craft' by Lou Teasdale. Firstly, Lou Teasdale is amazing, I love her dearly. Secondly, the book is amazing for tips on hair, nails and beauty so again, if you like this kind of thing, it's amazing! She's an amazing stylist so reading something from a professional is so worthwhile and I've learnt so much! 

Lastly and probably my favourite book EVER is 'Miles To Go' by Miley Cyrus. I was quite young when I read it and it was the first 'grown up' book that I ever read. I grew up watching Hannah Montana and I loved Miley Cyrus, she was probably my first idol for so many different reasons. To read a book about her life was incredible because you learnt more about her as a person rather than just seeing her on the TV. 


Let me know if you've ever read any of these or if you have any suggestions on books that I should read!

Powder

Hiii, sorry it's been a while! I've had a few exams this week so they've been my main priority. 

Anyway, a few weeks ago I found a little shop online called 'Powder' and they have the cutest collection of scarves, gloves and hats which are perfect for Spring or Winter. However they have a section on their website which sells scarves which are perfect for Spring. Unfortunately, there's only like a month left of Spring..I think..BUT Summer in the UK isn't very warm so they'll be perfect for then as well! 

So, I've picked out a few of my favourite products for you! 


The first one I really like is this Collette scarf. I absolutely love the colour and especially in Spring, it will look gorgeous! It's currently £18 and it comes in 4 other colours which you can find HERE. I think all of the colours are gorgeous but I absolutely love lilac so I'd go for this one. 
 


I also really like this Lillian scarf. I picked this one in the colour Mint because I love this colour in Spring. I think it looks so nice with everything! You can get this for £16 which is amazing, it's such a gorgeous scarf! 



Next, there's the Silk Japanese Cherry Blossom scarf in the colour Raspberry. I love the design on this, I think it's so so pretty! I think it's so original and that's what draws you to it.  I think it would look amazing with a plain white dress as well. And it's only £20!



I honestly think these are these Ingrid gloves are the nicest I've ever seen, they're gorgeous! I absolutely love checks so I was sold the first time I saw them. They're only £16.50 which I can't believe, they're worth so much more than that! 



I could go on and on about my favourites from Powder but I would be here all day! I would definitely recommend this shop for Spring or Winter, they have so many products suitable for both! And they're so cheap! 

If you want to have a look at any more of their products, you can find them HERE

SS15 Beauty Must Haves // WISH LIST

Hiii today I have a post about my beauty wish list for this year's Spring/Summer season! I haven't done this before but they always look so good so I thought I'd give it a try! 


Usually, I have an endless list of lipsticks, foundations, bronzers, you name it but this year I've been a bit more reasonable and I was able to narrow it down to 1 product: MAGNITONE LUCID.



For those of you who aren't familiar with Magnitone, they are a brand which spend so much time in creating products to help you improve y skin in different ways. The Magnitone Lucid, being one of their products, looks at deep-pore purification and gentle exfoliation which is basically a daily facial cleanser. 



What I love most about this product is that it is guaranteed to give softer, clearer and brighter skin in just 7 DAYS! For anyone with bad skin, you'll know how amazing that would be! I'm always a bit skeptical with products that promise this because it's such a big thing to ask. So I did some digging around on YouTube and there are so many videos showing the difference in just 7 days and the results are absolutely incredible! 

There are so many features that are included in this product, for example, it is suitable for all skin types, even dry and delicate skin. It acts as a daily make up remover and purifies deep pores and exfoliates dry patches. It is also 100% waterproof so you can use this in the bath/shower, whenever is convenient for you! AND it comes with an existing cleanser which enhances the absorption of regular cleansers, moisturisers and tanning products. 


For so many reasons, like the ones I've mentioned, this is definitely on my wish list this year. It's absolutely incredible! I've only mentioned a few of the features so you can go and find out more about the Magnitone Lucid and all of there other products HERE

Let me know if you've used this before or if it's on your wish list too, I'd love to know what you think about any of the products!

S CLUB 7: Bring It All Back 2015

Hiii, for those of you who don't know, I went to see S Club 7 last night with my mum at the Manchester Phones4U Arena! And it was absolutely AMAZING!! I've never seen them live, I was only 4/5 when they split so 12 years after, it was amazing to see! 

The stage and the set was amazing in itself as well! So much time had gone into making it look amazing, it was incredible. The outfits were also just as amazing, basically, the whole night was amazing, I don't think I'll ever forget it! 


Anyway, we got to the arena at about 7 and by quarter past, I'd spent about £40 already. But it was very very worth it! 

We bought this key ring, we'll probably put it on the house keys so we both can use it! 




We also got a programme because, well, who doesn't love a good programme?!  




And lastly, I bought a t-shirt. A TOUR ISN'T A TOUR WIHTOUT A TOUR T-SHIRT. I love them because they always have the dates on the back and I just think it's a really good reminder. 




I'm still very shocked that I actually got to see them but I'm very excited and I thought I'd try and get some excitement out by writing about it, so here you go! 

If you're going to any of the tour dates or if you've already been, let me know! If you're going, you'll have an amazing time!

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Hiii, today I have a post about the Revlon Colorstay Foundation. Recently, Tanya Burr, who is a youtuber for those of you who don't know, uploaded a video about this foundation and she did a tutorial for the Emma Stone look for an advert for this foundation. If you haven't seen the advert, go and check it out, Emma Stone looks absolutely amazing! Anyway, Tanya sold this to me so quickly, she looked absolutely incredible. So I went and bought it last week and it is amazing! Honestly, it's my favourite foundation. 


The foundation comes in Combination/Oily or Normal/Dry and both have a massive selection of colours to choose from. I got mine in the colour 180 Sand Beige for Combination/Oily skin. I couldn't find the exact colour for my skin but this one gives a really subtle and natural tan. My face is really pale compared to my body so it just evens it out a bit more. 

You might know that I have 2 really good foundations which are the No7 Beautifully Matte and the Rimmel London Wake Me Up. Personally, I think the Revlon Colourstay is a mixture of the two. It is super light but it has incredible coverage so it's so useful for the summer! 

I should probably mention that I got this from Boots for £9.99 which is amazing for the quality of the foundation! 

Go and take a look at Tanya Burr's video, you can see it being applied so you can see for yourself how amazing it is!
