Maybelline Coverstick Concealer

  Ok before I begin I must admit that I didn't actually intend to pick up this item. I thought I was picking up the fit me foundation stick - I have ended up being glad of my mistake though!

The concealer boasts that it can cover blemishes and dark circles while being water proof. Well I tried the product out on my face against redness on my nose and dark circles under my eyes. The way I applied the concealer was by simply sliding the stick over the areas I wanted to cover, then softly pat the product to blend it in.

The Concealer in its packaging.

The actual Concealer stick.

To me the concealer has a medium to light to medium coverage that is buildable. It does lighten dark circles but doesn't cover them, leaving only the puffiness remaining. The concealer comes in three shades and is a bargain at £3.99.

Overall, I do like the concealer and recommend that you guys try it out! Let me know what you think of it and if you guys have tried a concealer that stands out for you.

Everything £5 Website

I heard about this website from a friend and was eager to try it out! I mean who doesn't love finding a great pair of shoes or a dress for only £5?



Now this site gets new stock daily, they have a variety of styles and sizes. Which means there is something for everyone! No matter what your style you are likely to find something that you will like.

I went on this site to find something for my Graduation that is fast approaching! I ended up finding up finding two great dresses that I can wear again after my Graduation. I immediately placed my order on the 31st October 2013. The checkout was quick and easy. You can even use Paypal which was awesome. Now shipping was only £3.95 1st class standard shipping. The shipping was great because it wasn't too expensive!

What was great about this site is the fact that I was kept updated by email. I got emails saying my order was being processed and when it was dispatched. I even got emails from Royal Mail saying it was at my nearest collection office and it would be delivered that day! They even sent me an email once I had received it saying it had been delivered. This was great because it meant that if someone else was at home to receive I would know it was waiting for me. My items arrived on 4th November and came in a normal grey postal sack.

Overall this is a great site with a great variety of stock to suit everyone! You can even sign up to get newsletters and look at the new stock they have got in. I guarantee if you check out this site you wont be disappointed!

New Years Resolutions

   New Years Resolutions, the thing I make every year and end up forgetting before the first month is up! This year I was sat wondering if I should bother going through this again, just to fail yet again. But I have decided to be positive and put a bit more pressure into making my New Years Resolutions. I decided to post them here on my blog and share with all of you guys, that way I have to stick to them. I figure it's a incentive to stick to them in 2014. 

  So here they are, the 5 things I want to do in 2014. 

1) Lose Weight

This gets put in my list evey year but this year I am commited to doing this so I can have a healthier lifestyle! 

2) Pass my Theory Test

I know I should be writing get my drivers license but if I can pass a theory rest I have failed multiple times I will be happy! Though if I do end up doing this then you can guarantee that I will be aiming for that license next!

3) Be more concistant with Blogs

Now this is just as much for you guys as it is for me. I want to blog when I say I will. I want to be able to say that you will get a post every Wednesday and that to be true! I am planing to post every Wednesday.

4) Be more social

Now I'm not a hermit or anything by any means, but I am the girl who would rather sit inside reading rather than going out! So I want to change that and spend more time with my friends. 

5) Do some charity work

 Now this is a total new one for me. I always see things on tv about charity and think maybe I should do something to help. So this year I want to help charities more whether that's spending that little bit more in charity shops or just donating more things to my local charity shops. I may even decide to do some fund raising. Who knows.

  So there they are, 5 things I want to try and do over the next 12 months of 2014. I would love to know if you guys have decided to make some New Years Resolutions and what they are. 

See you guys in 2014

Gingerbread Men

I don't know about you guys but Christmas isn't complete untili have had some gingerbread! I was so happy this year when I got the chance to make my own this year, which I loved. So these are the things you'll need:

•115g butter (plus extra for greasing)

•450g plain flour (plus extra for dusting)

•2tsp ground ginger

•1tsp ground mixed spice

•2tsp bicarbonate of soda

•100g golden syrup

•115g ligh muscovado sugar

•1 egg lightly beaten

I used an electric fan oven and preheated it to 150oc, but for other ovens you need Gas Mark 3 or 325of. You also need to grease your baking trays.

  Fist in a large bowl sift together the flour, ground ginger, ground mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda. Then set it to one side. 

  

  Then in a small bowl I beat the egg then set it aside. 

  In a small saucepan place the butter, golden syrup and muscovado sugar. You will need to mix this on a low heat. 

  Once melted, pour over the dry ingredients and then add the beaten egg. Mix all the ingredients together to form a dough. 

 

  Then wrap it up in cling film, this is so it cools down and becomes less sticky. I left it in the fridge while I did the washing up and got ready for the next step. 

 

 

  Next dust a clean, dry surface with flour and roll out the dough. It says it should be about 3mm thick before you use those cookie cutters. Personally I just rolled it out until I was happy with it! 

 

  Then using your chosen cookie cutters to cut out your shape and place them on the greased baking sheet. Then re roll the dough and repeat until you have run out of dough. I left mine in the oven for 7-10 minutes but for the other ovens try 15-20 minutes. 

  Once cooked allow to cool. Then I placed them on a plate. 

  I used two different types of writing icing   One normal and the other was chocolate and caramel. Then I also used chocolate and fudge chunks to decorate. 

  This is when you get to be creative and decorate all your little creations in any way you like. 

  I got this recipe from the 

1001 cookies, cupcakes & other tempting treats  recipe book. Check it out.

Until Next Time

My Christmas Wrapping Supplies

Ok so it's a week until Christmas! Is everybody ready and excited? Have you been playing all those gorgeous christmas songs, I know I have! 

  Ok so I figured I would tell you guys what I like to use when it comes to wrapping those Christmas presents! 

  First I love to have a selection of wrapping paper including the odd kid themed wrapping paper! I mean let's face it when I wrap a present for my nephew I don't want to use paper that is all pretty I prefer using paper that I know he will love. I love getting loads of different paper as it means people won't get there stuff all wrapped in the same stuff! 

 Next I love having different colour bows and ribbon. So I can make presents extra special in looking by wrapping ribbon around it and adding a cute bow. 

  Last but certainly not least I love having sticker labels as they are so cute and usually sparkly. 

  What I tend to do when it comes to wrapping is sit in front of the tv watching a movie. It usually makes time go quick and if it's a musical you can sing alongat the same time. 

  Let me know what you use when it comes to wrapping your christmas presents. 

Until Next Time

Festive Film Friday #1- Santa Suit

  Ok so for my first Festive Film Friday I watched a film that was on Channel 5 last night. I saw an advert and it looked quite good so I watched it. It is called The Santa Suit and was released in 2010. It has a running time of 89 minutes, the movie was directed by Robert Vaughn. 

  The description of the movie is 'Hunter Toys CEO Drake Hunter turned his father's company from a cozy quality manufacturer into a ruthless, profitable business. After denying his staff any festive generosity again, the scrooge is suddenly and magically transformed into Kris Krandall. That forces him to work as a Santa in Norm Dobson's toy store, with weird would be actor Sebastian. Drake reassess his values and priorities in life.' It is a movie the whole family could watch in this festive season. 

  The cast of this movie includes stars like  Kevin Sorbo, Jodie Dowdall, Derry Robinson and Rosemary Dunsmore. You may recognize the name Kevin Sorbo because he was Hercules and was in Andromeda. 

  This film is really great for the festive season and defiantly put me in a good mood! This film made me remember that Christmas is a time for giving and helping others. It's not about wish lists, even if they are fun to write! But remember this festive season how great it feels to give someone a present. 

Until Next Time
