I was researching some DIY things on YouTube etc, and came across this! I thought I would do a DIY as it is so simple, and so nice! There are 2 ways of doing it, but I did it with pads. First some research about Green Tea…

Green Tea can…

• Reduce aging.
• Counteract Oxidisation.
• Support the immune system – If used as a drink.
  
• Refresh tired skin.
• Protect your skin for harmful sun rays – You may still need to use a sun lotion, so don’t just use Green Tea!
  

You can use this in a spray bottle – All you have to do is pour the tea into the bottle, and use it as a toner.

Oh, and this is my last post until I get internet! Or should I say… Oh, et ceci est mon dernier message jusqu’à ce que j’obtienne internet! (Google Translate! Ha Ha…) So… Au Revoir!

I recently applied for a tester of this new Maybelline BB Cream, and because of moving I didn’t think it would arrive, but I received it this morning! I am really happy I did, and you can see why below! You can get a free tester via me, if you message me saying you want an invitation for some samples, and then I will get it done for you, and then you just have to receive a message with the invitation!

1 – Q&A for BB Creams:

• What is a BB Cream? Maybelline say that a BB Cream is not a foundation, and is not just a moisturiser, but is a lightweight cream that makes you look fresh-faced and perfected, and not ‘made-up’.
• Why go for Dream Fresh? Maybelline also say that you should go for it because it is oil-free, and is water-based which means it is much lighter than most other BB Creams. There are 4 shades so you can find the right tone, and there is no fussing, no caking and no tide marks. It is just 8-in-1 perfection with SPF 30 protection.

2. Is the 8-in-1 True? What Maybelline says, and my answers:

• Imperfections look blurred – Yes.
• A Natural looking glow – Yes.
• Fresh Feel – Absolutely.
• Compliments Skin Tone – Definitely.
• Skin looks smooth – Yes.
• Hydrates – Yes.
• Protects with SPF 30 – Yes.
• Oil-Free & Non-Greasy – Yes.

What exactly do I think?

I have never used a Foundation because I generally don’t need it at my age, but I have heard about BB Creams, and I thought I should try it out. Maybelline has got it right! It is exactly what they say it is. It is so light! It feels amazing, and it literally feels like you aren’t wearing anything. I think it is great if your skin is pretty much fine, but you have little bits of red areas or little tiny spots etc etc. I really want to get the actual BB Cream, but for now inbetween the move, I will have to stay with these testers! I really do recommend this BB Cream, it is a Dream Cream!

Tint: 10/10 – Really compliments well.

Feel: 10/10 – Fresh, clear, light feeling, as if you’re wearing nothing!

Coverage: 9/10 – It is really light but blends so well, and is great for small blemishes.

OVERALL: 10/10 – I really want this BB Cream, and ASAP, I will be getting it!

You can buy this BB Cream from Superdrug for £7.99 but they also have a deal which means it is 2 for £10!

I know this may sound ridiculously stupid, but a lot of people get it wrong. They end up at the airport forgetting something and having to pay more money to buy another one, or having to pay money because their bag is too big. I am doing this post because I am packing today before I go! (If you don’t know why then look below!)

I know! I am moving! But, I will be back soon! Anyway, let’s get on with the post…

BTW I do have hair! My bun makes me look like I don't! And plus, stunning picture hey? Ha ha NOT

 I find the ‘Do It By Day’ list easier, so I can plan my outfits, and know what I am packing twice!

DO Make sure you have spares, because anything could happen! Spillages etc etc And bring at least one warm/cold thing because you can’t really predict the weather!

YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK WHAT THE BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE IS. Especially when using hand luggage! You don’t want to have to pay the extra charges. (I am only using hand luggage, as all my stuff will be on a lorry! So weird thinking about it, but I am excited too!)

I hope this gave some tips if you aren’t that great a packer, although it may sound pointless, a lot of people forget! Oh, and I will be saying ‘au revoir’ this evening! Hair dressers tomorrow, then final  packing Sunday, and then the big move! Well, flying out on Tuesday but yeah…

The reason I am doing this idea is because I know this blogger who runs ‘So How Do I Find Love‘, and it gave me inspiration to do some posts! The blog is really cute and inspiring for you guys who have lost that little love in your heart! Here’s a screen shot…

So... How Do I Find Love?

I have seen many Fashion & Beauty blogs doing these sorts of posts, in video and text form, so I decided to do my own. Now, don’t think that this is expert advice, but I have picked up tips from around the web, and also have some ideas of my own.

Recently I have been watching ‘Styled to Rock’ on Sky Living. It is a programme where aspiring designers get the chance to design for Rihanna, and many other celebrities. So, I decided to do the same sort of thing but using clothes from the high street, but still using the same celebrities! Little Mix!

Perrie:
Neon Floral Jacqard Corset £40.00 (Topshop), Moto Rose Clean Hotpants £28.00 (Topshop), Light Denim Raw Edge Waistcoat £30.00 (River Island), Cream Mid Heel Ankle Boots £75.00 (River Island) & Multi Coloured Pack of Friendship Bracelets £10.00 (River Island).

Jesy:

Jade:

I loved doing this post because they all have individual styles, but I like how they always connect their looks together through colour or general style. So, I used the coral colour and used it in all their styles and I think it looks great!

This is the 2nd part of my A/W 12/13 Capsule Wardrobe (7 pieces). You can see the 1st part here. I will be doing the final 5 pieces, as soon as I can!

Red Check Treggings £25.00 (Topshop), Co-ord Embellished Crop Jacket £95.00 (Topshop), Sheer Lace Dippy Top £39.00 (Miss Selfridge), Blue Geo Print Knicker £32.00 (Miss Selfridge), Mustard Satchel Crossbody Bag £25.00 (AWear), Charm Tassle Necklace £10.00 (AWear) & Mini Leather Shopper £39.99 (ZARA).

One of the big trends for this upcoming season is Hair Accessories. From clips, to hair ‘necklaces’, you need to have a statement piece. I have found 5 awesome pieces for you to choose from, and get inspiration from…

Spiked Headband £10.00, River Island Beaded Head Band With Dangle Feather £9.00, River Island Tan Feather & Charm Dangle Stretch Hair Band £10.00, Hair Quiff £6.00 & French Connection Exclusive to ASOS Animal Set of Slides £2.00 (All from ASOS).

This post is all about Celebrity Fragrances, pretty much because of the launch of the new Cher Lloyd Fragrance, so I thought I would take a look at some of the Celebrities who have launched a new scent recently! (Pictures from The Telegraph)

Cher Lloyd

I think the bottle of this perfume is cute and fun, but I am not sure whether I would really want to smell of Cher Lloyd, as ‘TBH’, I am not one of her biggest fans.

The Pope...?!

I actually couldn’t believe it when I found this! The Pope, actually has a perfume? Anyone for trying? Haha!…

Barack Obama

Yes, another crazy one, but it isn’t his, thank goodness! You would’ve expected the President of America to have had better designers with him! I am glad it is just inspired! The name kind of reminds me of a good old tune…. ‘Can we fix it? Yes We Can!’

Justin Bieber

Some people say that Justin Bieber isn’t feminine, or anything…. Well, this is him at his launch of ‘Someday’, his fragrance for girls. I would definitely not get this, as I just don’t like Justin Bieber, but if you do, I guess you’ll be in a dream world….

Lady Gaga

Back to the females of the world… and tiny little men! What do you think is the first thing? This campaign, doesn’t really show off the bottle does it? Just kind of makes you look at a naked Gaga, and men climbing all over her. Don’t really know whether I would want to take a sniff of it? Maybe…

Naomi Campbell

Surprising in deed! You would think an upmarket model would have an upmarket looking fragrance wouldn’t you? Not pink and fluffy…. okay…. moving on swiftly…

Tulisa

WOW! Last but certainly not least… Tulisa! First thing which is wrong, is that dress. Red + Black = fine. Red + Black + Pink Bottle = No. I don’t think I would ever think of knowing what this smells like!
