Review: Next Cashmere Palette

So the other day i was shopping at 'Next' and i came across this eye shadow palette. Since i do reviews on product for people that have a budget but still want good quality products i decided to buy it because its very similar to another product, and this palatte only costs £6.00.

 I realized that it was really similar to the 'Urban Decay Palette' but much cheaper. I have all three of the Naked Palettes and it was very easy to compare the product.

If you can tell the colours are very similar, the only thing i don't like about the next palette is that most of the colours are shimmery but the pigmentation is similar to the naked palette but obviously you would have to wear primer with it to make it last just as long.

Overall i think this product is quite good and i think you guys should try it out for yourself. x

THEFT PROOF BAG

Today im going to be doing a review on a bag, its from a company called highspritbags and it is formed by two guys.

Its basically a 'Theft Proof Bag' which i thought was amazing. I am a very paranoid person and all the time i am thinking someone is going to steal or pickpocket my bag or go through it. whether i am travelling or at school. These came out a year ago and im wondering why the hell have i got this now. So i bought this one its a green-ish snake skin kinda colour. its cost £85 which is pricey but it is good quality and well it keeps your things safe.

  

So you might be wondering how it works and how it is safe, well at the back of the bag their is a zip where all your stuff goes inside so when its on your back no one will be able to find the zip because its against your back and well no one will steal your things.

Exams & Revision

So most of you may be taking exams. Some of you will be doing your GCSE'S and some will be doing their SATS while others might be doing other exams to move sets and much. I realized that this time of the year everyone is doing some sort of exam and revising, so I thought i would share my tips and advise on revising.

♥ You should always have a plan, when i was planning for my GCSE'S the easiest way for me to revise was to brain storm. I did this with any subject Maths, Sceince, English. And it helped id have the topic in the middle in a bubble and have lines coming off it into more different sections and went into more detail with little notes around it. (Example: below of what i mean)

(You get the picture, its clouds with words inside that are linked to other weird clouds)

♥ Buy text books, you can get them from any book shop or just go to a charity shop and buy some, they all have similar information, read the book from front to back. The bigger the book the better, once a science teacher said to me "Buy a big fat juicy text book and you will pass your GCSE'S" i took his advise and bought a book and read it back to back, even if it was boring in the end i passed my gcse's with an A*. 

♥ Do practise exams, you either buy some from a book shop, buy online or print off the internet. Do the test and mark it with the mark scheme and see what score you get. go over the ones you get wrong and do another test but in a higher level. 

(Sorry for the shitty drawing, (its ment to be a test paper))

♥ Buy revision guides they are just as good as text books but cut out all the crap and leave you with all the important noted you will need.

♥ Get a tutor. Its just like school but there would be less people and much more easier to concentrate. 

♥ Take notes; while reading your textbook so if you ever forget something you can check your notes and test yourself.

(Another Shitty Drawing)

♥ Have your notes on your wall, if your willing to mess up your room. Each night just look at the wall and take in all those notes into your head.

♥ Also switch everything off ! Your phone, Tablet, Tv, Ipod, Everything ! and revise for a good 1 hour (Have your food as well, and maybe you can listen to music while you revise if it helps, you dont wanna end up writing the lyrics down instead, because iv done that once)

Good luck to those of you that have exams,

And i hope that you all pass,

So get revising those A*'s are not gonna come by its self x

DIY: Jam Jar Vases

A simple and fun way to decorate your house or bedroom with these cute 'Jam Jar Vases' They are easy to make and look pretty for this summer.

Steps:

- Remove the labels and glue residue from the jars, then wash and dry them.

- Stir the paint and pour a generous amount into the jars. Put on the lids of the jars and swirl the paint around until the interiors are evenly coated. Use a paintbrush to finish the inside of the rims.

- Pour the excess paint into a bowl and place the jars upside down on newspaper to dry – depending on the thickness of the paint, this can take up to 48 hours.

- Once the jars are dry, decorate with stick-on flowers. If you are going to use any of the jars as a vase for fresh flowers and fill it with water, make sure the paint isn’t water-soluble. Or place a plastic cup inside the jar and fill with water to prevent the inside of the jar becoming wet.         

Once they are dry put your favourite flowers inside of them and place around your home or in your bedroom x

MUA Matte Lipstick Peachy Keen Review

So i never usually buy make up from MUA but i was thinking maybe try out their make up instead of always buying the higher end make up. MUA products are sold in any drug store (superdrugs, boots) and i though maybe start blogging about makeup that are really cheap and affordable for you teens that are new to make up and want to start to wear make up.

Anyway i was checking out their lipstick range and started swatching the colours on my hand, and i was surprised that the pigmentation of these products are actually really good. I was looking at their matte lipsticks and though i would buy some and see how they went. I bought one just in case i didnt like it on my lips; i bought the matte lipstick in peachy keen and i have to say i love the name !

Peachy keen is actually a really nice peachy colour and i like the fact that they have a bit of lipstick at the bottom so if you cant get hold of a tester you can see through it and be able to tell what colour it is. overall it is quite pigmented and you can build it up however much you like. The packaging is very cute, and i was very surprised because

it only cost £1.00 !!!

for that amount of money i think its very cheap and really really affordable and im sure you can get this anywhere. Its good quality and i last on my lips like any other lipstick but it does come off a bit if you a drinking or eating - so you would have to touch up.

Sleek Lipstick Haul / Review

 

Sleek Make up are a drug store brand, which sells cheap but high quality make up. So the other day I bought five more sleek matte lipsticks as it is spring. And I don't want to go around in the sun wearing dark winter colour lipstick on my lips.

The first two lipsticks from the picture above (from the left) i have been wearing a lot in the cold winter months. However i bought five more lipsticks for the spring and the summer.

They are very pigmented and matte lipsticks and i love them, they glide on very well and look great on the lips. But sometimes when i glide them on my lips it sometimes goes back in, if you know what i mean. But on the other hand they are really pretty and very moisturising for a matte lipstick. 

Also they are very small and compact but are oval shaped so you do have a lot of lipstick in them even though it is quite small and they last a really long time on your lips, while eating and drinking. You may need to touch up but its not that visible if it comes off. I would definitely re-purchase !

The 'Tangerine Scream' which i forgot to put in the picture is very very similar to the mac orange lipstick, they are both very pigmented and i actually have to say the sleek one is better than the mac one and i could save more money on the sleek one than the mac one since they are both the same. Its very bright and summery and i love orange so for me is amazing !

so if you are on a budget these are the lipsticks to buy !
