We Say Goodbye To An Actor We All Love

As a Harry Potter fan, and a fan of this mans work the shock death of Alan Rickman made me cry

When I read the Harry Potter books I could imagine what Proffesor Snape looked like and when the movie came out and Alan Rickman was the actor he was what I imagined Snape looked like

I have grown up seeing him in movies. 

Thank you Alan for your perfect acting. You are truly one in a million

RIP Alan. 

Today We Remember Someone Specail

Today's post is a sad one. Today we are all in morning of a legend. 

One of my early memories of Music was my parents playing David Bowie, it was in the car when I was really young and my parents put on a cassette in the car stereo, my mum singing along, and  my dad tapping his fingers on the steering weal. 

There are many bands and artist out there that have changed music, for the better, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Queen, The Rolling Stones and The Who, just to name a few, but for me David Bowie is right up there with them

David Bowie

Rest In Peace.

Blog Q&A

Welcome 
back to my blog, today's post is a short one, its a few blogging questions that I thought would be good to answer


Why did you start your blog?
I started a blog many years ago for a

college project, and I dont use it anymore, and I started this one because I wanted a space where I could write what I wanted, and build up my own following

When did you start your blog?
This blog I started about 2 and half years ago and last year I stared it  all over again

What do you like most about blogging?
I like how creative I can be. Also that even though there are other blogs out there I like how I can be myself, I can blog when and how I like, about what I want, and know its my own personal space

How did you decide on the design and layout of your blog?
I used Blogger, I just played around with the different layouts and design, and decided on what I liked

Do you have set days you like to blog or do you blog 'as and when'?
I try and write multiple post a day, with pictures, and add 'labels' and make sure that everything is laid out in the way that I want it to be. Some times there are days that I don't blog, When everything is pretty much done, I try and post every other day or every 3 days, depending on how many posts I have piled up, 


How do you edit your pictures?
If it is multiple pictures in one photo, I will use a photo editing app on my phone called Free Live Collage. I have used it for ages, and its the one that I have found works how I want it to work. Its super simple, and has all different kinds of layouts

Hope you all enjoyed the post, if there is anything else you want to know, please let me know in the comments

How I Store My Make Up

Hey

Welcome back, hope you are all well. Today's post is How I Store My Make Up. I am a big drugstore junkie, all of the things I own are from the drugstore. The containers that I store it all in are from Amazon,

Over View

A Few Foundations

Concealer & Primers 

Eye Makeup

Lipstick

Eye Shaddows ad Setting Powder

Bronzers

I do want to say as a disclaimer that I brought all my makeup myself, I wasn't gifted any of it. My storage containers were a gift from my dad, I had mentioned to him that my makeup bag was getting full, and so he gave me some money and I brought the container.

I also own Naked 3 pallet by Urban Deacy which I don't keep in my makeup draws just for the simple fact it doesn't fit.

Repurchase or Release: MASCARA

Hey

and welcome back to another Repurchase or Release post, this one is going to be on Mascaras. I have a big thing with mascara's I love them. I have tried countless and loved and hated so many. 

Repurchase

Loreal Butterfly, is an amazing mascara. L'Oreal is on the higher end scale of drug store, so I will only get the mascara is it is on sale, but I really do like the effects that it has on my lashes. I havent gotten one in a while and I want to get another one soon.

Loreal Mis-Manga, is a masscara that everyone was raving about and it is 100% worth all the possitive reviews that people say about it.

The Rocket by Maybelline, again is one that everyone raved about that is worth the money, its not one of my favorites but I would repurchase it in a heart beat and have done countless of times

The next four are all by Rimmel London, and if you have read any of my previous makeup posts Rimmel is my favorite makeup brand, I love these four mascara's. They are all completly different yet work so well.

The Kate mascara is just as amazing as the lipsticks. The brush is beautiful, I love the packaging. I think I am on my second or third one and would buy it again. My lashes look really full and long. Its everything that I look in a mascara

The Lift Me Up is amazing just like the Kate mascara yet it is completely different, again the brush is amazing, and it smells lovely.  My lashes feel great when I use it and am on my second one, and would buy it again

The Volume Accelerator dose exactly what it says, my lashes look amazing, feel great and when I am having a 'bad' lash day, this is one product that makes my lashes look and feel great, my lashes look massive, I have and will continue to buy









The Wonderlash by Rimmel and I love it, I have brought multipule, I have found that it is good and I really like it, but I have found that it works best for me when I have already applied mascara and it looks clumpy I have found that this one unclumps them really well. When I have used this one on its own it works just as great.








Release

Wet and Wild Mega Volume, I was so disappointed with this mascara, I thought it would be a good prodct but I was really scared of using it, I felt that I was going to poke my eye out with it, I would forget that I had it and when I did use it again it was dried up. 

I did like the NYC Big Bold Curl it was a really good product but I have found mascara that I prefer a lot more that at the moment I dont think I would buy it again at the moment






Rimmel London Accelerator Endless is another product that scared the hell out of me.  The applicator is really creepy, and I thought it was going to poke my eye out. I didn't like the finish either. I like my lashes to look longer and bigger and this did neither










Rimmel London Scanaleyes Rockin Curves, I liked this mascara but found that I preferred another mascara, and again when I did go to use it again, it had dried out and was unusable. I liked the feel of it and how 'chunky/big' it felt in my hands, and when I applied it, it was an amazing mascara, but at the moment, I wouldn't buy it again

GLUTTONY: 
What are your most delicious beauty products?
Loreal Balm Lipstick, it feels and smells delicious. I really like the packaging of it as well 


SLOTH:
What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?

Bronzer. I just never seem to get it right, and it just sits in my makeup draws doing nothing

PRIDE:
