L'oreal Paris Skin Perfection

I've been using this little bit of bliss for a while now, since the June 2013 and it's still going! 

Considering that I use it almost daily, if not twice a day, morning and night, it has lasted me quite a while.

According to Boot's website it claims to ... 

'Swiftly dissolving all traces of make-up, the 'micellar' solution acts like a purifying magnet on the skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities rather than spreading them around your face like some wipes can.

So gentle, skin feels soothed and tone' 

1st - It Dissolves Make-up

2nd - It Unclogs Pores and Removes Impurities
&
3rd - It Tones and Smoothes Skin

I can agree with this 100%, at least for my skin anyway. I love the way in which it can take off all my make up, especially my mascara as I find that the hardest part to remove, I think my eyes are quite sensitive and rubbing them hurts long after I've stopped rubbing them, and with this all you need to do is apply a it of pressure onto the eye and leave for a few minutes! This nifty little cleanser is fantastic for me!

 It does exactly what it says and with just a few minutes over my eyes, applying a little bit of pressure and Ta-Da!! All that product that was clinging onto my lashes is gones and my eyes are left refreshed!!  It also leaves no residue, dries quickly and my skin does not feel tight at all, which I often find when using other products, and one of the best things is that you can apply moisturiser immediately after! (Which is great for me as I will normal forget if I have to wait for it to dry.)

There is something I don't get on with to well about this product. My lips are very sensitive and, as good as this product it on every other part of my face, I do not like using it on my lips. I think they are just too sensitive. Never mind, I'm still on a hunt to find the right product to remove lipsticks and not damage or dry out my lips. 

Over all I am very happy with my purchase of the L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution and will definitely be returning to buy more once my bottle runs out!

 Being the consistency of water, a very well designed and tight lid I take this any where, if I will need to take my makeup off, to round a friends house, a trip away or a holiday. Also at the very time and moment it's on offer for £3.33 on the Boot's website, a great price and something I would recommend to everyone.

A Hello To Youtube

If you had the chance, would you take it?

If You Had An Opportunity, Would You Let Fear Stand In Your Way?

These are questions that is constantly on Pinterest and in general what what people say. Especially in films! Well It's a questions that, in films, tends to leave good things for the one who takes the leap of faith or courage.


So, June/July 2013 I thought about something a lot. The summer of 2013 was, to be honest, quite a long and boring one *warn and stretches arm above head*. Ergh just thinking about it makes me sad and tired. It was a lonnggg holiday! If you could call it that. 

EKKK!! It's not even private?!

I feel that this has been a long time coming and it's just me, I need to build up my confidence in the things I do, design and make, whether that's for my college projects, in life and now, hopefully on Youtube.

Some of the pople that I have been watching for months and even years now are all so inspiring and creative and brilliant people.

Youtube has finally intrigued me and pulled me in, well for one video anyway, if it doesn't go well... it will either end in me squeaking like a mouse and disappearing from the Youtube world or I won't go down without a fight, I know there can be a lot of people on there handing out negativity like its penicillin so lets see. I've a few ideas for videos that I can do in the future but if you have any suggestions or ideas as always, leave me a comment I'd love to get a bit of feedback!

New Year's thoughts

Can you still make New Year Resolutions two weeks into the new year?

I'm back at university now, and firmly into a big project, firmly but not securely. 

Admittedly I am surprised that it's already been two weeks, it crazy how fast last year went and what's more crazy, I can't really remember anything about it. Of course there's  few things, but mostly, I don't remember, good times with friends and family, times I got over my fear of the unknown and things that made me think differently about myself and who I want to be.

I've seen these 'Memory Jars' around on Pinterest for a couple of years now and to be honest I think it's a brilliant idea, but knowing me, it would be something I'd do a few times then probably forget about it, which is a huge shame!

So this year I will get a jar/container of some sort and fill it with all sorts of good things that I don't want to forget.

I love the idea about going back through it at the end of the year maybe christmas day 2014 because that's a day that is all rush rush rush then calm for hours. Always has been, just the way we do things :)

Has anybody tried this? Was it effective and enjoyable to read and look back on? I'd love to hear anybodies thoughts and experience with the idea! Looking forward to (hopefully) being impressed and relaxed about what's happened and what I've achieved.

Welcome 2014

A New Year, A New Me.

That's what a lot of us probably said last night, but probably only some of us remember that...

So as the saying goes, a new me is on the cards. 

2013 was, an interesting year, ups and downs just like any other, but I can admit that I am not sad to see it finish. 

I'm not normally one for New Years Resolutions, mostly because I think if you don't like something about yourself then why wait until the new year? Another reason is because I'm very forgetful. No two ways about it, I forget everything, and 2013 was the year I realised that a year planner was my friend!!! We had them at school and I think I took advantage of it, not really using it for it's proper use. But now, well I don't really go anywhere without it, unless I loose the plot completely and leave the house without it... kind of defeating the objective isn't it...

Nevermind!

As I have a memory like a sieve I thought of a way to keep me in check and to remind myself, daily about what I want to achieve and how to go about it. I've gone an changed my laptop background to just something I whipped up on photoshop.

This is for me, specifically the things I need to remind myself to do. The things on here are in particular for my university work, a lot of the work we do involve a lot of work and progresses and documenting it. 

Just to elaborate a few...

Work Better/ Find inspiration first - Although I take a very arty subject I really do struggle to find inspiration, this then means I get behind on my work. If I just research into things first, find the inspiration I think this will make it a lot easier for myself. 

  Blog like a diary - I've never been good at remembering to write things down, or document things. I mean when I was younger I started a few diaries, but it only lasted about 4 days. Life would get busier, I'd have really poor time management and as per usually I'd forget... I need to work on my memory, I know.

Give up Fear - Now I know how this much look, and yes it does sound silly. I recently realise how much the two words 'What' and 'If' actually control my life and the things I do and quite a lot of the time, the things I don't do. 

I don't normally make them and I struggle to keep them. However I feel that sharing them with you and keeping them in my sights, because come on, not a day goes by with out my going on my laptop to go on  facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr and all that other good stuff, then I might stand a better chance of remembering and maybe even achieving some of my New Year Resolutions. 

What are your goals for 2014?

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are ready for the NEW YEAR!! 
I can not believe that 2014 is 24 hours away? When? How? What did I miss?

The year always goes to fast for my liking! This New Years eve I am spending with some really lovely people. 

As it is one of the biggest nights for a lot of people to go out, celebrate the new year, and forget the past year, a lot of people suffer from tiredness and sleep in their New Years make up. I am a culprit of forgetting/ being to lazy to take my make up of when I get in for a night out, I admit it. I know it's a bad thing to leave on your make, it clogs up your pores and can break you out in the following days. 

Face wipes aren't the best thing for your skin but it sure is a lot better for you to take it off quickly than it is to leave all that gross, sweaty make up on over night.

I hope you will have a lovely New Years, and bring it in in style how ever you spend it, enjoy :) 

 Happy New Year!
