Hey guys!
I hope you are having a lovely weekend! I can't really tell if this week has gone slowly or quickly to be honest!
I wasn't going to do a review this weekend but since this was a very recent purchase and I used it this week I decided to review it. It was £5 and at first I saw one from MUA was slightly hesitant to buy it as the bottle was quite small but I saw this make-up revolution one had more in it for the same price.
I was a little bit skeptical about this product even though people tend to say setting sprays are pretty good. I was actually pleasantly surprised! I put some on for Prom to see if it would work (which was a little risky as I'd never used it and didn't know if my face would react or anything and I had to be out the door 10 minutes later)!
It does a very good job! My foundation didn't end up too oily throughout the night, even though it was very hot and we were dancing for a long time! The most impressive thing for me though, was that my eye-shadow didn't crease! Usually, it ends up looking a little meh after a while.
The bottle is also a strong point for me as it is very sleek and thin which makes it easy to take with you. It includes some rose gold coloured plastic and it makes it look very cool! Each spray doesn't use much of the liquid so I think this will definitely last a while! Now that it is getting warmer I think it will probably be a bigger part in my make-up routine as usually, when it's hot, my make-up goes everywhere!
I'd definitely recommend this product to you if you have trouble getting your make-up to stay put because it should last for 12 hours, but I haven't checked this as I didn't have my make-up on for 12 hours. It's also good if you just want a bit more security knowing that you don't have to check whether your eyeliner has made it halfway down your face yet!
As I said in my tweet yesterday, I decided to add a few photos from my prom to the end of this post so that you could see what I wore! It was so amazing and I loved getting to have such a great time with all my friends! There are quite a few people who are moving or going to college so I'm so glad I got the chance to say goodbye to them! The colour scheme was blue and silver which was great as my whole outfit was pretty much blue and silver! Where we had it was so beautiful inside and the ceiling had twinkling lights to look like stars on it! It was so so beautiful!
My dress, bag and shoes were all from Quiz and the jewelery was from Primark. I was pretty happy with what my make-up looked like too, especially as I didn't have a clue what I was going to do until I started putting it on, and had to re-do my eyes several times as my eyeliner went wrong!
Have a lovely rest of the weekend guys and enjoy your week!
Until next time

Hey guys!
For some of you, it is getting close to prom and for others it has already happened (I hope you had a lovely time if this is the case!)
I thought this post would be a fun twist on the original 'what's in my bag' and if you are wondering about what you should maybe take to prom with you! I took the photos for this post outside under a rosebush (no roses were harmed in the making of this post, the petals were on the floor anyway).
For the last few weeks, I've been searching Pinterest for things I should be taking with me and yesterday I collected it all so I wasn't rushing to do it tomorrow afternoon.
The bag itself is from Quiz (£16.99) and I absolutely LOVE it! It matches my dress and shoes perfectly and I think it's just so pretty!
Inside, it is kind of medium sized and there is a long chain and a shorter chain. I'll probably end up using the longer chain because then it will probably be easier to carry it throughout the night, but there is also a little pocket inside to tuck the chain into and have it as just a clutch bag.
The make-up pieces I have are mostly just for touch-ups. I have: my Rimmel stay matte face powder with a little powder putter-onner thingy from Primark. I'm also going to take my felt tip liner (from MUA) and a small bottle of perfume. The bottle was just an old one I found in my room but the perfume is my favourite one (which I think is called Fantasy by Britney Spears - it's a little ironic that I can't remember the name of it even though it is my favourite!) I also have my Baby-Lips lipbalm but I might also put in a lipgloss.
The more random pieces I have in my bag are, blister plasters (because my heels probably won't love my feet after a few hours); safety pins, because you never know when they may come in handy and hair grips. you can't really see it in the photo but I also have a small nail file. The white strip things are double sided fashion tape to hold the top of my dress up a little more. Also, Polos to freshen up my breath a little if needed.
I'm also going to take my phone with me but the most important thing to remember is definitely the ticket! Now I'm kind of hoping I won't forget it tomorrow...
Have a lovely few days guys! I may do a small post about my prom with a few pictures because then I have the memory on here and you can all see what it was like too!
Until next time

Hey guys!
I am officially back online! *partying internally* My exams are now done and I can relax... for a week... until my 6th form induction! But in this week I'm hoping to write a lot of posts and (hopefully) figure out how to schedule them.
I figured that *insert sarcasm* since I hardly ever blog about jars, now would be a good time! This jar was one I gave to one of my friends for her birthday.
It was my mum who gave me the idea originally and I really love it! I already knew my friends favourite sweets were milk bottles (which I brought from the newsagents near my house) and I had the ribbon that looked like a striped candy-cane, which is good for sweets and things. Obviously all the different parts of the jar (the sweets, ribbon and jar itself) are for you to decide on, depending on the look and filling you want.
I also added a bow to the top and cut the extra ends to neaten it up but completely forgot to take a photo at the end!
The jar itself is 80p from Ikea (which I have mentioned before and used in other posts) and I think it's very cute. It can be used for a lot of different things and still looks modern at the same time. there's not much else I can say really... they're cool.
This present is really cute and it's not going to break the bank but it is still really thoughtful and I'm sure the receiver will love it (as my friend did)!
As I have a lot of free-time for the next few weeks, there will be another post tomorrow. It will probably be a 'what's in my bag' with a twist! Hopefully I will be able to do a post at least 3 or more times a week.
I hope you've had a good last few weeks (and mostly that you are still reading!)
Until next time
