Favorite books of 2016

Welcome 

to a post that every bookish person seems to be doing right now. And that's there favorite books that they have read throughout the year.

I am not going to include Harry Potter series in this post because that goes without saying. It's basically my favorite series that i have read ever.

This will include books that I have read for the first time, books that I have re read and books that I had a hard time to read in the first place but finally read

The Devil Wears Prada. Lauren Weisburger
One of my favorite books of all times. No matter how many times I read it, it will always bee on my list of favorite books.

Marshmallows For Breakfast. Dorothy Koomson
Again another of my favourite books. This year I have read some really bad books and this is 100% the book to get me out of a reading slump. Dorothy Koomson by far is my favourite author.

My Life Next Door. Huntley Fitzpatrick
I was really surprised by the book. I think because I read a real bad book before it but I actually really liked the book. It was the first

The Help. Kathryn Stockett
I tried a few times to read the book but didn't get to far with it and when I finally finished it I actually really enjoyed it. It's not a favourite book of all time but if this year definitely.

Since You've Been Gone. Morgan Matson
I was surprised by the book. It's not great but not bad either. I got a little bit of a Paper Towns feel to the book but I preferred it more the Paper Towns

Favorite Book Endings

Hey

Today's post is all about some of my favorite endings. 

 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

JK Rowling

This could be out in to 3 versions. The book as a whole, the very last chapter '19 years later' or the book as the last one of the whole series 

As a whole the book was so well done. It was a perfect ending to the whole series and the character developments in the last book just shone through. It was full of drama, happiness, uneasiness, reunions and defeat. 

The last chapter was brilliant. It wrapped up a book that no one including my self wanted yet knew was coming and wanted more after. 

I know JK Rowling didn't want to put Ron and Hermione together at the end of the book and I have said it before that I like the two of them together. Having Harry and Hermoine together would (for me anyways) be wrong.  It's basically kept the three of them together without bringing any new person in which I think is great and if JK had gone with her origanal idea and had Harry and Hermione together the dynamics of having someone new in would have shifted everything out of place. 

As a whole series I liked how the story line of Lupin and Tonks dying in the battle of Hogwarts brought the circle of someone loosing their parents (Harry and Teddy) came full circle. 

Hate List

Jennifer Brown

Hate list is possibly one of my favorite books ever. With how the book is through out the last chapter or so when they are deciding on if they put something into the box on graduation for the person that caused so much pain in their class really gets you thinking about what would you do. The graduation ceremony when they are placing the things into the box is one of the most powerful things I have ever read. I did a Book Recomndation on Hate List which you can find HERE

Marshmallows for Breakfast

Dorothy Koomson

Honestly one of my all time favorite books. It deals with so many topics within the book, that you could see so many different endings that would work so well. The actual ending of the book is so fantastic that you really don't want the other endings to happen and yet it's the most unexpected ending of them all. There are so many hints within the books that aim towards the ending yet when the ending comes your totally thrown off.

Favorite books

Hey

today's post is one on my favorite books

Harry Potter Series

JK Rowling

Because who doesn't love the Harry Potter Series. 

The Devil Wears Prada

Lauren Weisberger

As soon as I finished reading The Devil Wears Prada I know I struck gold with it. It's on of those books that I could imagine the characters faces. When the movie came out it was everything the book was. 

Hate List

Jennifer Brown

Hate List is a book that made me smile and cry all in one. Even though it's a heartbreaker and deals with such hard topics it's such an underrated book. 

Looking for Alaska

John Green

I have a love hate book relationship with John Green books. Out of the 4 that I do own Looking for Alaska is definitely my favorite of them all.

February Beauty Favorites 2016

Hey

and welcome to February's beauty favorites. February's favorites mean that its almost march and almost my birthday.


Foundation
This month I have loved 2. Maybelline Better Stay, and Rimmel London Wake Me Up, I had got the wrong shade of each and they work well together and is the perfect shade for me.









Concealer

This month I have been loving the Hide the Blemish from Rimmel London, I always love it but always try out other concealers and love them as well. Going back to Hide the Blemish makes me feel so much better.

Mascara
This month I have been loving my Volume Accelrator mascara from Rimmel London, I have a moment where I love the really fake look with my lashes without having to use false eye lashes









Liquid Liner
Again another Rimmel London product, this month I loved the Glam Eye's. It is great as an everyday liquid liner.











Lipstick

I am not a big lipstick kind of person, but this month I have been loving the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte. They are such a beautiful lipstick, great colors, feel great and last for hours,

January Favorites

Hey

and welcome back to my blog. Can you believe that January is already over. It seems only yesterday that I was doing my 2015 favorites, and now were done January.

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that I love the Wake Me Up Foundation. It is such a beautiful foundation, they have recently changed the formula because when I first got it there was no Vitamin C in it before but it is still as fantastic as before. It has to be pretty special for me to find a foundation I love as much as this. As you can see I am almost out of this one and will be starting on the next one soon

Rimmel London
Wake Me Up

I very rarely wear eye shadow, I sometime find it hard just to get right, and when I do I love using the Naked 3 pallet. For christmas 2014 my dad was unsure what to get me so we just happened to pop in to Sephora. I had heard great reviews about Urban Decay products especially the Naked Pallets. When I looked at all three the Naked 3 looked like the best fit for me and it is.

Naked 3

Yes you can see me in the mirror

This month the Lift Me Up mascara has been wonderful for me. I am constantly changing my mascara's and have found lots that I have liked. The Lift Me Up has done its job for me this month, I am on my second one, it pumps up my lashes without looking fake. It smells so fresh and clean when I wear it.

The applicator is one of my favorite kinds as well. I also love the packaging of the mascara.

To give my lashes that extra BAM this month I have also been using the Wonder Lash by Rimmel, it seprates and extends the lashes a little more after using the Lift Me Up. I have use it on its own, and it works so well. Some mascaras will dry and go hard on your lashes just on there own, where this one it dosent go hard, it sits there perfectly 

and again the applicator is one of my favorites, its so different then the Lift Me Up apliator but is just so perfect

Thats all for this months beauty favorites.
