September wish list

So I start uni next week and with my book list costing £200.00 it's fair so say I won't be spending a lot of money this month so everyweek I am going to update you all on what I'm wanting.

Life's a journey

So I am currently being that annoying person sat on the train blogging away sat with my costa coffee hot chocolate. and it suddenly hit me that my life is changing and its happening all at a very quick pace. so I got thinking that life is a journey, not one that we may always like but we need to move with it if we want to succeed in life. 

I am currently taking a big step and I am moving 3 hours away from my family to study special needs education in a place I know nothing about and have no friends. It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous because I'm terrified. I have recently left a job I love so much, left my dancing school and said goodbye to my best friends. But everyday I remind myself that this is a step I need to take to move on with my life and this is just a little step to achieve something massive. 

So even if you are not moving away or if you are just changing school starting a new course or starting a new job everything in life is a mystery and sometimes you need to take chances as life doesn't wait around for anyone. So just remember everything happens for a reason and life is tough so if it isn't hard it isn't the end! 

I am more than happy to answer any questions or worries that anyone has because everyone has there down days and I'm always willing to help.

All my love hugs and kisses Rebecka x 

My lipstick collection

I LOVE lipsticks and can't get enough of them so I thought I would share with everyone my collection as I love watching and reading about beauty collections.

Summer beauty favourites

Since the summer is now nearly over boo! I thought I would show everyone what I have been loving through the summer. The collection is pretty small as I have been very busy but everything in the collection I would highly recommend. 

T-zone blackhead facial scrub review

 recently have had a horrible break out after coming back off holiday which is very annoying I have tried many products such as blemish mud masks, pore strips, and peel masks however nothing has worked until I tried the blackhead fighting facial scrub.

I purchased the T-zone product from home bargains for only £1.00 which is an amazing price as my previous facial scrub was £6.50! 

My skin type is oily to normal therefore I am more inclined to use a deep cleansing scrub. I use the product twice a day morning and night and I have only used the product for a week. All opinions are my own and I am happy to answer any comments. The product has small exfoliating balls, however I would warn that they are not as small as normal products therefore if you have dry to sensitive skin this product may not work for you as it may be too harsh for your skin type. 

After only using the product for a week my blackheads have significantly decreased and my spots have also decreased in size and some have completely disappeared. The product has immediate effects which is brilliant as you are not waiting around to see if the product works. I highly recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a good facial scrub that will help with break outs and blackheads. 

I would highly recommend this product and cannot praise this enough as it works brilliantly and the price is outstanding!! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 star rating! 

Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed this post

Rimmel London cool bronze review

This is the first time I have used a mouse bronzer so I was very optimistic and picked this product up as it was cheap and it was a good way to see if I liked the product before spending a lot of money. 

The texture of the product is as you wold expect and is very heavy and mouse, at first I thought that this would be easy to use but I was wrong. The first time I used the bronzer I used it under my foundation as this is what was advised to do on makeup tutorials I prepped my skin and blended the product out with my fingers. The product was not easy to blend at all I found that it was very heavy and almost sticky as it wouldn't blend out and would stick on my skin in blotches. My skin is normal to oily therefore I was surprise when the product was sticking to my skin. 

The second time I used a stippling brush and the same happened with this product it didn't blend at all  so I tried the product on top of my foundation and after two hours the product was very patchy and wasn't lasting on the skin. 

Overall I would not recommend this product the texture isn't very easy to work with and it doesn't blend out into a natural colour as it is very orange toned therefore you end up looking orange and patchy. 

Hope this helped if you have another questions about the product please do not hesitate!

Primark haul

So I was a little naughty and strolled into primark and magically purchased a few items, it's only a few items because I'm trying to save for uni but the few items I picked up I am very pleased with.

Update!

Hello everyone! 

I wanted to start with apologising for not posting in the last week for so...

Basically a lot has been happening in my life I have just returned off a weeks holiday in malia with my girls (best holiday ever!!!)  however on that holiday I injured my leg and I am currently waiting for an x-ray and I am wearing a knee brace! I also have a very bad chest infection which isn't working well with my asthma so I haven't been feeling too well...

Anyway on a happier note I now have my student accommodation sorted and will be moving out of my family home on the 23rd of September yippee! 

I am also VERY pleased to announce that my sister is now engaged! Her lovely boyfriend surprised her for a birthday surprise and took her to Paris and proposed on he lock bride! I am so happy for my sister and couldn't ask for a nicer person to be brought into my family! 

Sorry for not posting guys I aim to be back on form!

Liebster award!

I'm so excited to say I have been tagged by beauty and rainbows beautyandrainbows@blogspot.co.uk! I am very new to blogging so was very surprised, I think this is a perfect way for new bloggers to discover each other and help out in the blogging community.

So lets begin...

Results day!

In the UK it is A-level results day which is a very big day as these determine what university you can attend and what subject you study. So first of all i would like to say a big Good luck to anyone receiving any results and and many congratulations! 

It may seem like results day is the be all and end all but i want to write this to show everyone that results don't define your future and they certainly don't define who you are!

I am a strong believer that results don't show intelligence which i know is very controversial. In my own opinion i believe that sometimes exams are luck you either revised it or you didn't, you may have revised for 2 months straight and got a C but the person who revised the morning before and hit lucky on the topic got an A (HOW IS THIS FAIR!?). But the fact is this is just life and you can either let it get to you or you embrace it! That person with the A in the next ten years might not have a job in their chosen career because they didn't have the commitment like you did believe me karma will get them!

Just remember that not everyone can be a straight A student and thats fine because what is best about the world is that we are all different. As long as you worked hard and are happy with your efforts than you simply cannot wish for any more! 

I want to put it out there no matter what you got a U or an A* im so proud of everyone because A levels are difficult I cant lie they are probably the hardest two years of my life so far but they help you move on with your life and further your career. 

So remember life is hard everything will be okay in the if its not okay, its not the end.

Asos premier review

Asos is an amazing online clothing website which offers a preimum membership for £9.95 from 12 months. In June 2013 I bought a premier membership and thought I would do a review on my experience and if I think it's worth the money.

I understand that many people don't think it is worth the money as you already receive free standard delivery however in my opinion I believe asos premier is worth the money but like everything it has its pros and cons, so here we go!

Beauty haul

I recently decided that I spend FAR to much money on makeup so decided to put myself on a spending ban but when I found these BARGAINS I couldn't help myself!!!!

So today I was in superdrug when I stumbled across the reduction basket and I grabbed myself 7 items for only £11.00!!! I would definitely recommend looking in the reduction isle as all of the items I bought were packaged and had not been tested!
