Haul!?!

So I was introduced to the world of blogging through YouTube.  I would sit for hours watching YouTube and of course, as I love make-up and all things beauty, I came across 'hauls'.  Now, as the worlds of YouTube and blogging regularly collide, I have decided to do a sort of haul BUT (wait for it!) ON MY BLOG!  I haven't seen this done before so I thought I would do one seeing as I literally have nothing else to blog about and I seem to have received a few items recently!

First off, beauty.  

Gifts.

Hello, how is your day so far?

Recently I have had to buy a few presents for friends birthdays, Fathers day and some teachers that I will miss next year.  So as I was thinking about present ideas, I realized that presents have gotten so predictable and boring.  Many teenage girls just buy gift vouchers, lip gloss and sweets for presents.  Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate these gifts but I think that it is an easy option and if you really wanted something you could get it yourself, it doesn't show that thought has gone into buying a present that no-one else will have gotten you.

Clarins Water Purify One Step Cleanser

Product: Clarins Water Purify One-Step Cleanser with mint essential water

The effect: It helps to clear up your skin, eliminating oil but keeps your skin looking fresh.

Use: Probably my favorite thing about this is how easy it is to use, you literally put a couple of drops on some cotton wool and wipe your face with it!  No water needed! I love this because I am so lazy when it comes to washing my face and to me this seems so much simpler than getting my face wet.  I also love that you can see what has come off your face because it makes me realize that cleansing is important and that it does do something.

coconut oil: the multi-use product

I discovered the wonders of coconut oil a couple of years ago, since then it has been one of those products that I just keep on going back to.

ASOS review

Recently I have become obsessed with this shop!  I found out about it when shopping for prom dresses a couple of months back and now I cannot stop looking! 


Shopping on the internet has become the 21st century phenomenon (for people obsessed with clothes anyway!), you can shop for your wedding dress while eating breakfast in your PJ's!  Its a really helpful tool that allows you to shop anytime, anywhere and a few online shops caught my attention.  ASOS has become my new obsession! 

Basic/Beginners Beauty and Make-up Guide

So, as a teenager I know how important make-up can be in a girls life and getting started in the right way is key!  I am going to share some of my tips to starting off wearing make-up and what sort of products you should be using at young age.

Ever since I was a toddler I have loved makeup, however I started to wear it properly when I was about 12 or 13, but I was clueless!  Had no idea what each product did, if I needed it or how to apply it.    Everybody says that beauty comes from within, and the best people will see that, however we like to feel confident in our bodies, and for many teens (who can feel insecure) make-up helps us gain that confidence.  I am not saying that you should try and change yourself, make-up should be used as a tool to highlight your features and make them look their best!
