Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter Review







Since I was little pink lips always stood out to me and made me realize that it can make any outfit pop. This Revlon Lip Butter is a perfect necessity when it comes to dressing up an outfit or just wanting a moisturizer for your lips.
I've used this product a lot especially at school, as my lips tend to get dry in the winter months. Its the perfect size and I just pop it into my pencil case!
 The packaging is very modern and eye-catching. Although I wish the bottom black part was a littler larger so the lid isn't so hard to take off especially if you're in a rush.
 The colour Strawberry Shortcake 080 is good for lighter skin tones as it doesn't make you look too washed out.
 As you can see I've used a fair bit already!
This is probably one of my favourite lip butters as it's covering but not think and sticky like other Lip Sticks. You can also just dab it on to give you a little bit of colour to your face. 

Rating; 4 1/2 out of 5!!!

Mascara Review; Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express CAT EYES

First ever product review!
**I vow to always tell the truth about products I own, these are my own opinion. The products could work differently for you then they did for me**
When I first started wearing makeup, I always was wearing Cover Girl, in my opinion their products don't work the best for my skin and I'm not a fan of their mascara's either... Although I wouldn't mind trying the Taylor Swift line.
I then changed over to Maybelline products which I find so much better! They're cheap and work excellent!
 My bottle is very worn down since it's almost gone, I bought it in May, and it's lasted a while!
I love the packaging, it's very light and sleek.
The colours are very bright and adds that extra colour to any makeup bag.
 This is honestly the best mascara I've ever used, will be buying more!
 The brush is the best feature to this mascara, it's curved which allows you to get every hair even those tiny ones in the corner of your eyes which adds volume to any lash!
CON; the brush has been coming out of the handle. This may be because I use it everyday, but it seems as if it wasn't glued in properly. Still in love with it though!
There is no clumping with this mascara, the bristles are very hard and are not plastic (BONUS)! 
Retails for around $7.99 at any drug store, and usually goes on sale at some point so keep a look out for this awesome product!
**My rating; 4 1/2 stars out of 5**

Summer 2013

Summer is almost gone for the 2013 year, which makes me have mixed feelings over everything.
I like wearing high waisted shorts, crop tops, and bathing suits, but I haven't been able to wear any of this stuff this year. I went away on vacation where the weather is always around 15-17 degrees (C). I went away from the longest freshwater beach for 3 weeks and in this time, I wasn't able to wear any of my clothes due to me being in Newfoundland, Canada
It is a very lovely place (as you can see if you click the link). The environment and people remind me of being in the UK!
The food is amazing as well!

Here are some pictures that I captured throughout my journey!


 While I was there I got to see amazing scenery and wild life. As you know, I'm in love with flowers so I captured this shot while I was on one of the many hikes!
 This picture is from the coast line, also captured on one of the hikes!
 I find this picture to be very beautiful, it's my nanny's hand holding a partridge berries. They aren't ripe yet but in September they go picking for these berries which taste like cranberries.
 We went to one of the museums about a half hour away from the town we were staying in and found these hanging on the back of the building. 
So beautiful!
 The colours of the houses in Newfoundland are exceptionally pretty! This is a little cafe that serves as the only towns restaurant! (Imagine only having 1 restaurant...what has this world come to)
 While in the same town as the cafe, meuseum, and sea glass (below), these flowers were lined up in front of the parsonage; which is found in the blurred background. Here we visited my great grandparents graves. 



On one of the beaches we found a LOT of sea glass, I have a whole bag which I plan to make jewlery with by wrapping them in wire!

Here is the beach where the sea glass was found!



 This was my backyard view for the past 3 weeks!
 Another backyard view! I always said "It's like living in a post card!"
This is where I wish I had a better lense, here is the official Newfoundland flower, the Pitcher Plant. It grows in bogs. This one was taken on another hike through Gros Morne.
