People

I thought today I'd do something a bit different. We all know that there are some people in the world we don't like, and lets face it there are probably some people who don't like us. People can be bitchy and be honest who hasn't been bitchy. I'm not saying it't good to be nasty or two-faced or anything like that but occasionally you feel bad yourself so you think bad about someone else to make you feel better. Constantly pointing out other peoples' flaws and problems isn't going to make you any better or stronger or prettier, its just going to make someone else feel just as bad as you. This works both ways, some people might feel like this towards you. Sometimes its because of what you once said or did but usually its for no reason and they pick on you because they can. Never will everybody like you and there's nothing you can do about it so what's best is just to remember those who do like and love us.

When you meet new people its easy to make first impressions but one thing i've learnt fairly recently is that you never know what peoples' personal lives are really like and something you say to make a huge difference to them whether it be good or bad. People can look at someone else's life and think they wish theirs was more like it but often these people have their own problems. What i'm trying to say is that however cliched it is nobody is perfect, everybody has their problems and if you straight in there telling them how perfect their life is and constantly compare everything you could just make something a whole lot worse for that person. Also though you could just make their day with any little compliment or smile or just keeping your comments to yourself. One lovely quote I once found is:

"Be nice and smile to everybody because they might just need and treasure that smile"

I hope you take something from this and i'm sorry it seems a bit cliched but its something I hold close to my heart. Respect peoples feelings and know that whatever people think of you although it is not easy try to be a stronger person and don't sink to their level.

Have a lovely weekend <3

Review: Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

  This product has lately been my skin saviour..no joke..

I have been using this for about a month now and can honestly say I absolutely love it. As I have combination - oily skin, I don't like wearing really heavy foundations - they make breakout soo badly that they just make it so much worse. So I was out shopping in Boots (actually looking for a brow pencil but I get distracted easily..) and walked past the Maybelline bit. Having heard great things of it, I stopped and picked up the BB cream; on the back of the bottle it says that it does 8 things (coceals imperfections, helps protect against the appearence of blemishes, oil-free non-greasy, minimises the appearence of pores, clarifies the skin's look, conceals redness, hydrates and smoothes, complements skin tone). I must admit I didn't have that high hopes for it..I don't really know why, maybe because it claims such a lot surely it can't really do everything?! Apparently it can..

I first put it on with my fingers and literally was amazed, I hardly needed any concealer which was a shock having had to use loads of concealer with other foundations. It looks even better when applied with a brush.

So yeah, it has amazing coverage, doesn't make me breakout, has SPF, does everything it says and more. Also, I think its quite good value - I bought it for about £6.99 I think (maybe £7.99) which is actually really good for everything it does.

I must say though, I wish it came in more colours. I have very pale skin *especially in winter* and it only comes in light, medium and dark. I actually find that even the lightest shade is slightly too dark for me but after I have put on my powder and everything else I can just about get away with it.

Hope you liked this and just saying that these are only my opinions and it may not work for you but I just thought I'd share it because I love it sooo much.

Have a nice week <3

19 questions tag

I couldn't really think of anything to do this week so decided to do a tag *as you do*. There aren't that many you can do on a blog but I found this one so here it is, hope you like it:

I was born in Yorkshire, England. I'm a yorkshire lass through and through.

I think it was a few days ago when I stubbed my toe really really hard. Yes i am a bit of a cry baby when it comes to pain..

No, I think i'm a bit young for that..

If you were another person would you be friends with you?

I'd like to say yes definitely but I don't know to be honest, no i'm not a horrible person or anything - i'm friendly but i think it depends on who the other me would be, she might not like me..that made no sense..

Do you have any pets?

Yes I have one beautiful doggy who is soo cute and is an English Setter. I also have 3 mucky duckies.

Do you use sarcasm?

Meehhhh...a bit, I use it in obvious situations but I can't really be that clever with it.

I love horse riding and have been going to lessons once a week for about 6 or 7 years now. I would love to have a horse of my own but just don't have the time to look after one properly. I also like cooking..i'm not exactly a pro but i do it anyway!!

Are you in love?

No not at the moment, I never really have been either..

Ok so that was that, i tag anyone who wants to do it.

Have a nice evening <3

January favourites

I'm sorry this isn't really a 'proper' post with loads of writing but as the saying goes 'a picture is worth 1000 words' enjoy!

My hands get soo dry in winter so a good hand cream is essential. I have recently started using this one and am loving it, it soaks into the skin really easily and isn't greasy at all...there is nothing worse than havin to just sit for ages waiting for hand cream to soak in..

This is just great to get rid of the massive dark circles I wake up with when getting up unnaturally early every morning.

I mentioned this cleanser in my skin care routine and like I said then, I just love it.

This is another from my skincare routine, it gets all my eye makeup off in a jiffy, love it.

The Clinique high impact waterproof mascara. All the writing has rubbed off it..shows just how loved it is. I have very pale blonde eyelashes naturally but this looks so natural and doesn't budge all day. I use the colour 02 black/brown.

These have been a favourite of mine for a long time and they're just amazing. 'Nuff said.

Another to hide my disgusting under eyes. Does a great job, not quite as good at hiding bkemishes though...is that just me?, I know a lot if people rave about it.

I love this scent for winter. I'm sorry to say but I can't really think of what this smells like..I just like it.

These are my favourite nail polishes for winterin general because they just feel so festive. I decided to be a bit more adventurous with colours this year and having recieved the Barry M dark green (I think the colour is actually called GNP 3) for my birthday in summer from my friend I decided to pair it with a red and use them together (on alternate nails obviously)

This has been literally what I live in throughout winter. Although the sleeves are 3/4 length it is so warm and I love the little snowflakes at the top. (From Jack Wills)

A random one I know but it is called january favourites and I have been loving wagon wheels throughout january. "Ew thats carbs and sugar" comment if you know where thats from..;)

                                        

                       This has been going round my head for weeks now, but I like it so its okay

Hope you liked it x enjoy the rest of the weekend *dreading monday tomorrow* <3
