My New Avon Products!

Eveeening!

Yes, I know what you're thinking "Bex, you posted that Avon post weeks ago! What are they playing at" and I know, I know but yes they have FINALLY been delivered and after a few days of vigorous testing I think it's time for me to give you all the opportunity to take a look at what I bought and also hear what I think about them, ooo how thrilling! 

The first product I purchased was this Advance Techniques Firm Hold Hair Spray. I am currently loving this, it does it's job, holds my hair in place and surprisingly prevents frizz too  - what more can I ask for? Oh yes, it also does smell great, another bonus! 

For the past year or so I've been using vo5's Strong Hold weather resistant hair spray - which is great - but I really needed one which I could 'lug' around when I go to my Mum's house or to my friends to stay the night and this fits perfectly into both my overnight/makeup bag and also my life as it is only 200ml! Perfecto-rino!

The next product is this brow definer (which I bought in blonde). I needed to sort out my eyebrows like majorly and who better to turn to than Avon? It gives the perfect look without looking like those girls with nikey ticks for eyebrows - reality check sweetie, that's not attractive (sorry if that's you, I'm just not a fan). This comes in I think, but don't quote me on this, three shades blonde to dark and is a HECK of a lot of product for what you pay for. You twist the top and out pops more - woooohoo, what a lovely description I gave, I should definitely get an A* in English... or not. 

 

Thirdly I purchased Avon's blemish correcting stick and I can't fault it. I purchased this in the lightest shade and well it's not absolutely fabulous so much that I'm rushing to buy another one but it's not as bad as some other concealers I've used. I've been wearing this since I've had it underneath my foundation and yeah it is doing it's job I guess! 

Finally I purchased this COLOURTREND nail enamel in the colour 'Very Violet', admittedly it did look different in the catalogue but once I took it out of the box I did like it, it's a bluey colour with shades of purple mixed in, it actually looks pretty cool! (Again with the description skills..) This I'm afraid wasn't the case with another nail varnish I purchased this time around I thought the picture didn't reflect the actual colour and so I had to send it back - Sorry Avon! 

Despite this, this nail varnish is fab and I'd probably re-purchase. I'll be using it next week for my NOTW so you can see it properly then! 

For now, that's all.

Thanks for reading everybody!

I'll see you in a couple of days!

Byeeee!

NOTW | Barry M Textured Polish

                                                            Hello again everybody!

So I haven't really been to the nail polish section of Superdrug on my last few visits and so I have not seen these but - OH MY GOSH - they are fab! I had just picked these up for the fact I liked the colours but then I realised that they had a cool little texture effect and instantly my mind was made up, I had to have these! 

Picture from www.thesundaygirl.com

They have them in four pastel shades, Alantic Road (blue), Kingsland Road (pink), Station Road (yellow) and Ridley Road (minty, duck-eggy blue) and at the moment they are 2 for £6 in Superdrug so if you have £6 go and buy them now, this isn't an option, do it. I'm watching you. But all joking aside, these are fabulous and if I had £12 with me at the time (which wasn't allocated for Republic and other shopping - which I'll do a cheeky blogpost on in a few days) I would've bought all four, but for now I just have the mint and the pink.

You'll have to excuse the 'rough around the edges' look. Need to sort that out later post-relaxing bath time :)

Obviously, this polish won't be to everyone's taste - as it's not my Nan's, she said, and I quote "isn't nail varnish supposed to be shiny"... so yeah, if this takes your fancy I guess you should go and buy some! Wooooohoooo. Just incase you're an eager beaver, you can buy it right now by clicking here!

For now, I bid you farewell!

a littlle needed time out

Hello to all you beautiful people out there. This post is just gonna be short and sweet.

At the moment I'm going through a stage in which I am very low and am lacking a lot of motivation in everything I do so its due to this that I have to put my number one priority, blogging, aside for just a few more days so I can recollect myself and continue with normal life, if you will.

Sorry guys, I love you all so much;

Beauty Wishlist - February 2013

Hello everyone!

Firstly I'd like to start by saying that I've scrapped greeting you all with different languages, it's boring lol. Secondly I'd like to apologize that I haven't been able to blog recently, having my end of GCSE exams coming up means I'm studying a lot and also it meant I had to 're-do' my schedule to juggle revision, blogging and obviously - The Big Bang Theory so that meant I was out of sync for a few days. But, I am back *few*. So without further a do, my February beauty wishlist. 

All of these products I'll be hoping to get hold of sooner or later but for now, I must just keep on wishing!

Number 1 on my list is Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream. This is pretty popular in the blogsphere and I am so excited to try and review this. Fingers crossed I'll be able to afford it sooner or later so roll on that moment!

Number 2 is Benefits 'they're real' mascara. I've been experimenting a lot with mascaras and I'm not a fan of some of the cheaper ones for example Miss Sporty as they make my eyelashes look clumpy and generally disgusting. I've never tried Benefit products before and this could perhaps be a potential starting point.. who knows?

Number 3 on my list is Bio-oil. On my arms I always get horrible bubbly skin (the only way I can think to describe it) and one of my friends said that they use Bio-oil for this and also stretch marks. I thought - hey why not give it a shot so that's what I'll be doing! Wahoooo!

Finally, number four on my list is 'Bioré Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips'! You may have seen/heard about these from Louise (sprinkleofglitr) on her channel and I'd really, REALLY love to give them a try. 


And that's all for February's wishlist. I'll be back tomorrow, for now Bye! x x x

A BLAST FROM THE PAST?

Shabe Yabebabe Yeshe 

(that's hello in a language called Chubby, heard of it? Me neither)

Have you ever had one of those days where you're not sure what kind of make-up to wear? Or just fancy a little cheeky change? Well look no further for I have adapted an old favourite from primary school into my own little cute make-up decision maker. Oooosh!

So who remembers these? 

I do, me, me, me! You DO remember these right? When you would write things on the inside of them and ask your friends to pick numbers and tell them who they fancied? Well, I decided to write a few make up styles on the inside and when I'm having a bit of a day where I'm feeling a little adventurous, I would just pick a nail polish shade, two numbers and boom! I'm on my way to a wonderful make-up choice for that day!

Pick a number anyone?

When I did the test, I got 'smokey eyes'

My slightly 'adventurous' ideas

What would you get if you did the test? If you ever have crazy days where you're feeling adventurous or just days where you can't decide what to do with yourself you should definately make one for yourself. It's so simple (baring in mind, I did have to search the instructions. The year 4 girl inside of me wasn't quite shining through this evening) I'm not exactly a handy person and mine came out OK, although I do think I was better when I was little! But, try it yourself! Let me know if you do, I'd love to know if my fab/scummy idea is coming to use anywhere other than with myself! 

C-A-U-G-H-T R-E-D H-A-N-D-E-D

Thanks for reading you beautiful people!

I hope my idea comes to good use,

Byeeee!

25 facts about me!

c'kemi!

(I think I'll start greeting you all in different languages, today; Albanian.. oooh!)

So I know that my opening blog post was pretty much several different facts about me but this is a pretty popular topic in the 'bloggasphere' and so therefore I feel abliged to partake!

1) My full name is Rebecca Jayne although if you call me this be warned that you may actually loose your head due to my mass amount of rage. 

2) I have one best-est-est-est friend in the whole entire world and her name is Kyra. She's been my best friend since year 7 when we met in our tutor when we both thought eachother were disabled. Say "c'kemi Kyra" even though she isn't here but oh well, I'm sure she'll read this and smile hugely. We're both very weird which is probably why I love her to bits!

Kyra and I in my hot tub also last summer
(should probably get more recent pictures...)

Kyra last summer taking a cheeky selfie with my iPhone!

3) I used to be so overly confident but now I make my friend Tom do everything when we're out as in talking to people who would serve me as for some reason I am frightened of them and I have no idea why *sad face*

4) I mentioned about me being weird but honestly I am the weirdest person you'll EVER meet. You may read my Twitter and if you do you would have read about me pretending I'm playing a piano when typing on my keyboard, spin around in my computer chair dancing to music and talk to myself (a lot!) and I'm doing this all right now too!.. and that's not even anywhere near half of the odd things I get up to.

5) I use exclamation marks probably too much!

6) I try to not let other people's comments get me down too much - just 'get on with it' is usually my line when somebody feels the need to comment on me and what I do. 

7) I've only ever had one proper relationship which probably caused me too much grief and I lost a lot of friends both during and after due to the fact we were in the same 'friends group'. I don't talk to him anymore and it's probably for the best. Relationships are too much drama! Having and spending time real friends is more important at this age!

8) I don't really have many hobbies and that's one of the main reasons I started this blog so that I could actually do something productive with my time rather than just sitting around and doing nothing.

9) I live with my grandparents and my big brother, Mark.

10) I also have a little brother called Alex that I don't actually live with but spend as much time as I can with. 

Alex and I :)

11) I really dislike painting my nails, when they smudge all of the time and look gross and ew. I just hate it, yet it is probably the cosmetic product which I purchase the most. 

12) I mentioned my friend Tom but the majority of the people I hang around with are actually boys. I don't know why - it's probably because boys have more fun and don't sit around and to put it bluntly 'bitch' all of the time hehe! I have three best friends and two of those are boys; Tom and Ryan and one is Kyra which I previously mentioned and they're all lovely and I don't know what I'd do without them *awww*

How fun...

The more I look at these photos the more I question
my choice of friends! Haha!

13) I am so rubbish at singing that I don't sing infront of anyone other than my best friends when we're joking about.

14) I've only ever been to one concert which was Bon Jovi, I'm hoping to go to more concerts and live events over the next few years.

Bon Jovi live at Ashton Gate in 2011

15) I've only ever been abroad 5 times and never out of Europe - I'd love to go to America!

16) I hate cereal, why you would ever combine milk in a bowl with random oaty food which tastes vile is beyond me. YUCK!

17)  I am obsessed with The Big Bang Theory if anybody says a quote I will almost certainly know what episode it is from.

18) Last year was a pretty bad year for me on the whole but I'm hoping that 2013 will be so much better and that I get out and do more things.

19) Ever since I've started writing my blog the upstairs lounge in our house has been magically transformed into my 'office'

20) I spend about an hour with my Daddy every Wednesday evening where we go to Sainsbury's cafe and have a coffee. Except for I don't like coffee so I have a pepsi max. 

My Dad and I.. I have no idea what kind of face that is he is pulling...

21) I live my life by a schedule everything is very well planned in advance by at least 48 hours and I don't like making last minute plans.

22) I like to think that I can take proffessional photographs when in reality it's just me with "an oversized and overpriced camera" as somebody said at one point!

A picture I took in Autumn of 2012

23) I find it very hard to focus in the day and the cause of that apparently was that when I do sleep I am a very light sleeper and wake myself up even with the tiniest of moves without realising it, I like 'half sleep' meaning that I have to take sleeping tablets every night.

24)  I love long walks! They're one of my favourite things ever oh my gosh!

25) And finally, this fact may please any of you directioners out there.. my Aunt lives in the same village as Harry Styles used to live in!

Thanks for reading guys,

sorry it was a reeeeeally long one!

Now you know a little about me, write one yourself and link me to it :)

I'd love to hear about you.

For now - byeeeeeee!
