It's ok to be unhappy!

Hello lovelies!

I'm doing a bit of a different post today. Lots of people will have their own and different opinions on this post but a few days ago I got quite upset over a few things. After a few hours of listening to music and picking myself up again I told myself that it's ok to be upset!

Life is always full of ups and downs, you never know what to expect.

Any one and every one can have multiple reasons why they're sad. That's why I say never judge anyone because you don't know their life!

Keeping how you feel inside and putting a smile on your face all the time will make things worse. Ok, yes I understand that you need to keep your problems outside of work. But I've done this! 

Doing this all of the time is exhausting and people will think that you're as happy as anything. Then one day, you will just pop because you've been strong for too long!

You need to let your feelings out! I had a huge break down a couple of months ago and it was horrible! I had no idea what to do and I ended up texting my closest friend to come and meet me because I was in that much of a state. I let all my feelings out to her and it made things a lot better. I felt a lot better about myself for telling her. 

Plus, I now talk to a woman on Thursday mornings about what I'm struggling with and she is such an inspiring and helpful woman. I have also been told to go and see a doctor if I really need to because they can prescribe medication if they think I'd need it, but I think I'm ok for now.

I am going through a lot right now and I'm sure lots of other people are too!

I advise you to:

• Talk to somebody. Whether it's your parents, teacher, partner, best friend, doctor, councillor or even your pet (pet sounds silly, but it worked for me before he died). 

• If you want to cry, then you go ahead and cry! Don't hold your tears back. You will feel much better after letting it all out.

• Listen to music that you love! Even try singing along to it, it will take your mind off things.

• Leave the house. Some people like to go for a walk and get some fresh air before going back home.

• Write a list of what makes you happy and list of what makes you sad. Then go through the sad list and think about how you can change things.

• Arrange to go out with your family or friends - maybe see a movie or go out for a meal or even go for a road trip!

Take your mind off of things somehow but remember it is also ok to be upset whenever you need to be. Remember, if you're unhappy with a certain something you can change it.

Burberry Kisses Review

 Hello you lovely people!

I've always been very fond of Burberry, but only their bags and clothes. I had no idea that they done make-up.

I got nominated on Twitter by one of my close friends to receive a free sample of the Burberry Kisses lipstick (on my private and personal account).

I just clicked on the link I got sent and had to put in my address. I had to pick from 2 shades - one was a dark red colour and a nude beige. I picked the nude beige. I was then allowed to nominate someone on Twitter, so I nominated my sister as I know that she loves her lipsticks.

It came in gorgeous packaging and the lipstick is so tiny but you get so much of it! The design which is actually on the lipstick matches the lid to it! I am just obsessed!

I got this in the colour Nude Beige No.1 as I thought it would suit me more than the red.

The swatch doesn't look the same as when it's on the lips!

Swatch of Burberry Kisses

Nude Beige No.1 on lips.

As you can see there's a lot more colour on the swatch rather than on the lips. I really do love it though! Burberry Kisses are available in 28 shades on their website and I'm heading there in a minute to take a look at some more shades! Plus, they're only £25.

I forgot to mention that I bite my lips! Normally when I wear lipsticks, my lips look bumpy but with this, you can't even tell that I bite them! 

A big thumbs up from me and I am so glad that I received this free sample.

What's In My Bag?

Hello and Happy Easter! I have seen loads of people do this on YouTube and also blog posts. It's now my turn to give this post a go. Even though I didn't have a clue what was in my bag when I done this post, I managed to give my bag a good clear out.

I got this bag from Ted Baker in Essex during the summer. I saw the hot pink one first and I said to my sister "Oh my god, if this was black I would've had it!" I then came across the black bag about 10 minutes after browsing around the store. I was so happy, I had to get it. 

It was £100 at the time. My birthday was a couple of weeks before I got the bag, so I had a lot of birthday money and I didn't know what to spend it on. So, I did spend most of my birthday money on this bag. But, it was totally worth it, I'm absolutely in love with it!

I honestly don't have a clue what's inside, so lets take a look...

Make-up Bag-  I'm sure most girls will carry their make-up around with them. It's just so easy to touch up on your make-up. Like my bag, this is also Ted Baker. I got this years before I got my bag. I am surprised as it has lasted me quite a while.

2015 Diary- I always get a diary for Christmas from my parents. I just love the way it looks and it is also a slim one so it's easy to get it in and out of your bag.

Pile of random receipts- I don't have a clue how I have so many shopping receipts and bus tickets in my bag. I've now sorted them out and put them in the bin though.

Plasters- These are so handy! You never know when you will need plasters.

Umbrella- I have this Radley London umbrella. I love its pretty designs on it too! You never know when it's going to rain!

Some random money- I found some random change at the bottom of my bag. They're now in my purse!

A heart shaped mirror- I've had this mirror ages but it looks so cute! So, I keep it in one of the little pockets in my bag.

Purse- Obviously I will keep my purse in my bag. Yet again, this is also Ted Baker. I also got this before I got my bag. This purse is big enough to store everything I need.

Keys- I always carry around my keys, just in case I go home and there's no one there. (I've been in that situation before.) I also have cute little keyrings on.

Inhaler- I have really bad asthma, so I always need to keep this with me.

Vaseline- Most of the time I suffer with really bad dry lips so I always carry around a pot of Vaseline.

Hand Sanitiser- I always keep a mini bottle of hand sanitiser in my bag. This smells so good too! You can also get a strawberry laces and a bubblegum one.

Random plastic bags- These come in handy when you're out and about and need an extra bag. Also, once I've used my umbrella and it's wet, I put it in one of the plastic bags and carry the umbrella around in that instead of the rain dripping off of it everywhere.

McKenzies sniffing salts- I suffer with blackouts/fainting once in a while. Whenever I feel like I'm about to go, I have to quickly get these out and sniff them and they help. 

Deodorant- It is so handy carrying around some deodorant with me. You never know when you may need it.

I also have a pocket either side of my bag. I keep Nurofen tablets in one side and Piriton (allery tablets) in the other side. I will always need these at some point.

I hope you liked this post and have a great Easter everyone! 

Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Review

Hello lovelies!

I normally use Rimmel mascaras as they are usually my favourites. It does exactly what it's meant to do. It gives amazing volume and length and it is so worth the money.

It wasn't clumpy on the first few uses. After using it for a couple of weeks, it does start to get a little clumpy. (Depending on how often you use the mascara.)

It's quite a fat brush, which I love! I got it from Boots for £11.99.

 The purple colour and the silver font caught my attention at first. You can definitely see the difference between my normal mascara and this one. Bear in mind that I don't use eyelash curlers. I really recommend this for anyone who would like lengthly and voluminous lashes.
