April Beauty favorites

Hey 
and welcome back. Today's post is my monthly Beauty favorites for April


Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation: I am not surprised that this is in my monthly favorites. I LOVE IT. It always makes me feel great weather I am just quickly doing a makeup look or if I am taking my time.




Maybelline fit me matte + poreless shade 112: This is another foundation that I have been loving this month. Its gives me the coverage that I like and just sits well with out looking horrible. 

Rimmel London Super Curler 24 hours: I love mascara's and finding one that makes my lashes look amazing and not clumpy is really hard and this does that for me. My lashes just look amazing






Not many favorites this month. If I find something I love I tend to stay with it

Why United?

Hey


After Manchester United's dramatic FA Cup semi final game on Saturday  at Wembley against Everton it got me thinking why I support Manchester United






1999 we won the treble. Premier league, FA Cup and Champions league. 

The class of 92: the class of 92 are 6 brilliant players who played over a combined 109 years and won a combined 120 trophies including 50 premier leagues, 8 champions league and 18 FA cups. 

Busby Babes: Sir Matt Busby was the manager of Uniter in 1958 when 8 of the United players were killed in the Munich plane crash coming back from Belgrade after a European game. The players were young and talented and had come through the clubs youth system. 



Champions Leauge 2008: Is always one of my favourite games. We beat Chelsea on penalties 



Sir Alex Ferguson one of the greatest managers ever. 

Sir Matt Busby: 



Sir Bobby Charlton: when I think of Manchester United one of the first people I think of is Sir Bobby. Complete and utter legend. 


The Youth Accdemy: I mentioned the class of 92. They came through the youth Accdemy. But I can't do a post on united with out the youth players that have come through in the last few years. Jesse Lingard, Adnan Januzaj, and Marcus Rashford (who has been amazing since his debut back in February)

The young Players: apart from those who came through the youth team (massively this season) we have had some great players be brought in and had a lot of stick in the media yet proved everyone wrong


The last minute wins: Personally I thought last minute wins were in the days of Sir Alex. Boy was I wrong. 


I'm proud to support Manchester United. We have a 4/5 more Premier League games left and the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. This season we could win one trophy

Review: To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

Hey

I wanted to do an honest review on 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before'. 

The short chapters and the amount of chapters. I mean 72 chapters in a 355 page book seems really silly. 

Lara Jean seems like a brat and everything has to go her way or it wont work out. 

Lara Jean is reliant on her older sister but doesn't understand why her sister got so mad at her when she finds out that she had kissed Josh (the older sisters ex boyfriend who Lara Jean liked before he dated her sister)

I found the whole relationship with Peter a bit silly. Because of how reliant she is on her sister, she feels that she has to take control of this relationship. It was kind of obvious that they would end up together in the end. I must say though that I did like the fact that Peter had written the notes to Lara Jean

When Lara Jean finds out that its her younger sister that posted the love letters to the boys, Lara Jean gets really mad at her sister but through out the book she has stated that her younger sister is a bit of a detective and will always go looking for things
What I did like about the book is that it shows a single parent and that parent is the father.  You see it in books and TV shows where the parents are together, or if its  a single parent house hold it always seems to be the mum.  

 I found that as the book got nearer to the end I started to enjoy it a lot better then the beginning of the book. I like how Jenny Han started incorporating school trip and things that teenagers do such as staying out past curfew and gossiping behind people's backs. 
Over all I give this book 3 stars out of 5. Its not bad but its not super good that I want to run out and get the second book PS I Still Love You

Product Empties #1

Hey

and welcome back to my blog. Today's post is my first ever empties product on my blog. I did have a big bag of empties that I was going to do last year, and I mean it was a lot of products, in one bag and it had filled the bag, but when I moved I threw it out in the trash. I know I had it all written down in a book and in the move I cant remember where I put it. So enjoy this empties for now




Rimmel London

Wake Me Up Foundation: I have 3 of them. One is completely empty, the second is almost empty and the third is a new one because the one that is almost empty is the wrong shade for me and I mix it with another foundation to get as close to my natural skin tone as possible. 

Wake Me Up Concealer: Not one of my favorite concealers. So I was happy to finish it. 




















Glam Eyes: I have found this product last for ages and ages. It is my go to liner and even then it has lasted for ages and ages.


















Lift Me Up
Wonder Lash
Lift Me Up Mascara: I really liked this mascara it makes your lashes feel amazing without clumping them up, I would put this one on first before putting the next mascara on. The applicator of this mascara is one of my favorite

















Wonder Lash Mascara: I use this as my second mascara and what I love about is that if my lashes seem a bit clumpy that day I will go over it with this and it separates them really well





Stay Matte Pressed Powder: Another Stay Matte Powder that I have used up. I love this product and until I find one that works as well I will always love this product












Maybeline New York

Super Stay Better Skin Foundation: I really liked this foundation even though I did get the wrong color, but it is such a beutiful foundation. It goes on really well
















Super Stay Better Skin Concealer: It is rare for me to find a foundation and concealer that 'go together' that I really like both and that is what I got with the concealer and foundation. This concealer goes really well with the foundation.




Dream Wonder Powder: This is an OK setting powder, what I have found is that the packaging is really misleading and that the product really isn't that much

















Cover Girl

   
ready Set Gorgeous: Not one of my favorite foundations, I am not a fan of foundations that are in tube's rather then a bottle with a pump. This was an OK foundation but doesn't live up to the quality of my favorite foundation's




Ready Set Gorgeous Concealer:  I am 50/50 on this concealer I either really loved it or really hated it there was no in between with it
















L'Oreal Paris

True Match Mineral: It is a great setting powder, I never tried it with the true match foundation so I don't know what it would be like with that foundation, but I cant complain that much. What I did find is that when you hit the bottom of the product that there is a lot left around the edges

















So there are my empties. Hope you enjoyed it.
