Are You The Most Annoying Person on Facebook?

When I was contacted to ask if I wanted to display this post on my blog, I jumped at the chance! This is a really funny post and I really enjoyed reading it, so I hope you will all enjoy it as much as I did.

Onto the post: 

 Do you think we have now started to become annoyed with facebook? It seems that there is always someone clogging up our timelines with irrelevant and uninteresting status updates, which can drive us mad. They are not like that in real life, so what is it about getting people on facebook that makes them adopt the most irritating personalities?

There are definitely specific types of annoying people and this funny infographic shows the results of a study carried out by voucher site, love my vouchers looking into identifying those irritating user types.

The top ten offenders have been ranked in order and include those people who just want to provoke arguments on facebook for no reason; people who request to be friends when you haven't seen them for years and have no interest in their lives any more; plus those who are constantly boasting about where they are travelling to, checking in at airports and beach clubs in an attempt to make their friends jealous.

Check out the annoying facebook users yourself – and ask yourself this... Do you see yourself in any of the top ten?

Thanks for reading!

Do you see yourself in any of these?

#SBBC Day 12 | 17 Mirror Shine Lipsticks Review

I love to have some slightly sheerer and more glossier lipsticks in my collection, for the days when I just want a wash of colour, or for Sixth Form, because we are allowed to wear subtle makeup, and these lipsticks by 17 are perfect.

I have these in 2 shades 'Belle' & 'Beehive' . Belle on the right is a slightly deeper red colour, and I love this because my lips are naturally quite a scarlet colour so this really enhances my lip colour and adds more of a glossy effect to my lips. Beehive is also wonderful because it is great if, like me, you are not brave enough to wear a full on nude lipstick and just want something that is heading more to the nude side of the spectrum but is still very wearable.

The only slight issue I have with these lipsticks is that they melt so easily! Because they are more like a glossy lip balm you have to be very careful not to leave these anywhere near the sun because they will melt! You may be able to see that Belle in particular, is looking a little worse for wear.

Overall though for the £4.79 they retail for, they are very good value! They have now updated their packaging and they now come in a very sleek black tube, with a mirror that you can pull out that would be handy for on the go. It also looks like they have a few new shades which is great so I will definitely be picking up a few of the new ones.

#SBBC Day 11 | Bourjois Cream Blush Review

 When these first came out I didn't rush out to get them, entirely because at £7.99 I thought they were a bit expensive, and I didn't have much money at the time! Although I was lucky enough to win 2 shades in Kelsey Kate's giveaway : Healthy Glow & Rose Tender. And they are gorgeous.

They come in a little round compact that closes with a magnet, which is really cute and means that they are easier to open and close, and you don't have to faff around every time you want to use them.

Healthy Glow is a peach colour and looks perfect with a tan.It is a kind of apricot colour and I think it is gorgeous!

Next is Rose Tender, a deep rose colour which is perfect for wearing every day!

And here are the swatches.

These blushes have a gorgeous texture. They are smooth and creamy, but not at all greasy or oily and they blend so easily. They dry to a kind of powder finish, but it is more of a satin finish rather than matte, and looks very natural giving you a glow. You can build these up as much as you like, you can wear them sheer or very pigmented. I apply mine with my fingers and then blend using my Real Techniques Stippling Brush.

Just for a size comparison, here is the blush in comparison to my hand. 

I think that even though you don't get a huge amount of product, you only need a little bit and I think they will last a long time. Also the product is gorgeous, the texture, the colour, the fact it doesn't crease and its longevity. Even on my oily skin, with a primer, this stays on all day which is great, I definitely recommend these!

Do you think these are worth the hype?

#SBBC Day 10 | Beauty Pet Peeves

I am back to the normal schedule for #SBBC today and today's post is beauty pet peeves! I thought this would be a great post and I know that I will enjoy reading other people's posts to see what their beauty pet peeves are!

So onto my pet peeves:

• When a brand does "One Shade Fits All", they are always way too dark and go so orange!(I am looking at you L'Oreal Nude Magique, and a few others *cough* Helen E *cough*).
• People who wear 6 inches of foundation on their face, it is totally unnecessary and most of the time it makes them look way worse than before. I understand some people have things they want to cover up on their face, but by wearing this much makeup it only draws more attention to their face.
• FOUNDATION LINES. I am sorry, but no, wearing a foundation way to dark for you does not make you look tanned, it makes you look like an Oompa Lumpa, so unless that is the look you're going for, please don't!
• Not blended eyeshadow. When someone is wearing 2 or 3 shades of eyeshadow and there is a line between the two where they haven't blended, it is not a good look at all. 
• And finally, last but not least, spider lashes. I cannot stand it when people have really clumpy lashes, or fake eyelashes that are way too long for them, it really isn't a great look at all.

So those are my beauty pet peeves, what are yours? I really want to hear some of your beauty pet peeves!

Thanks for reading

Make sure you leave your pet peeves!

#SBBC Day 9 | Beauty Haul

Today I have a mini beauty haul, No7 was on 3 for 2 (skincare) and I needed to restock on my favourite cleanser and moisturiser so I thought it was the perfect time to do so! I also have included some fantastic giveaway prizes I won last week from the lovely Michelle over at Thou Shalt Not Covet.

So first up is my favourite moisturiser, No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Normal/Oily Skin. I love this moisturiser because it hydrates my oily combination skin without making it shiny or greasy and is lovely and lightweight. I am nearly out of this so I repurchased it for £12.50. 

Next up on the 3 for 2 offer I picked up 2 bottles of my favourite cleanser. This is the only cleanser that I have ever repurchased, would you believe it? I have never repurchased a cleanser before but these 2 bottles will make up my 3rd and 4th repurchase! My skin absolutely loves this stuff and nothing else works for it, darn you skin for having expensive taste! This stuff is £9 a bottle.

Next is this gorgeous necklace from Zoe Jewel that I won in Michelle's giveaway, this is a gorgeous 'lava rock' necklace and I think that this would look so cute with loads of outfits! In the top picture this looks kind of blue, but it isn't, it is a dark slate grey colour.

And finally this MAC RiRi Bronzer/Blusher in 'Hibiscus Kiss'.  I am so happy to have won this in Michelle's giveaway! MAC is a brand that I absolutely love, but I have never tried one of their bronzers or blush, so I am very excited to try this. I am also super happy to have a limited edition product! Although it does mean if I love it I can't repurchase it :( It has it's positives and negatives!

Thankyou very much to the lovely Michelle for my beautiful giveaway prizes, I love them!

#SBBC Day 8 | The Autumn Tag

This tag was created by Georgina from http://www.makeup-pixi3.com

I love Autumn, it is not too hot or too cold, and I love being able to wear onesies and snuggling up in Jumpers again. I also think everything is so pretty in Autumn with all the trees changing colour and everything. So I saw this tag circulating around and decided to do it for #SBBC Day 8 because I still haven't quite found the haircare routine for me yet as I am always changing products, so I thought I would write about something different today.

For Autumn, what is your...

Favourite thing about it?

Definitely cuddling up in a onesie/jumpers and reading a magazine with a hot drink in bed! I just love the colder months.

Favourite drink?

This is a hard one, but probably a ginger bread latte or hot chocolate, it's a hard one to pick between!

Favourite scent/candle?

My favourite scent for Autumn would be any one of the Yankee Candle Autumn scents really, I think they always come up with some good ones. But I especially love cinnamon candles in Autumn, and I would love to be able to try the B&BW candle in Leaves.

Best Lipstick?

My Revlon lipstick in 'Blushing Mauve' It is a sort of berry red raspberry colour and it looks perfect in Autumn because it blends in with the general colour scheme of the month, I also love MAC's 'Fanfare' in Autumn.

Go to Moisturiser?

I love the No7 Beautiful Skin moisturiser for Normal/Oily skin because it doesn't make my shiny or break out, but it gives me a good amount of moisture.

Go to colours for the eyes?

Deeper bronzes and browns, I am a massive fan of a neutral smokey eye in Autumn!

Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?

Ah this is really hard, I love so many bands and singers at the moment and I don't really have a specific band or singer that I go back to specifically for Autumn, although at the moment I have been loving John Newman and Tom Odell.

Favourite outfit to wear?

I love wearing leggings or skinny jeans, with my Uggs a slightly thinner jumper and a cable knit cardigan, so cosy and comfy!

Autumn treat?

I am going to treat myself to a Yankee Candle and some nice new boots, although I need to save again first as I have had a few too many clothing hauls recently.

Favourite place to be?

Inside! It is too cold for me to be outside, I love to be curled up in my bed or relaxing on the sofa with a book, and if it is cold enough a fire. I love fires, for some reason they just make me feel super relaxed and cosy.

Thankyou Georgina for this tag, it is a really lovely one!

#SBBC Day 7 || August Haircare Favourites

Hi Everyone! And welcome to the final instalment of my August Favourites : Haircare! So this month I have found some great hair products which have been working really well for me and my frizzy locks. So I recently got my hair chopped off into a shorter style for summer and I have been straightening it a lot more and these products have worked so well for me!

First up, my shampoo and conditioner. Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends, this smells gorgeous! Just like raspberries and it makes my hair feel very soft and smooth which I love. It also does a good job of keeping my hair oil free without being too drying.

Next are my two leave in conditioners, the Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream(woah that was a mouthful!) and the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance. My hair cannot go without these two products, the days I forget to use them it is as if someone has swapped my hair for straw! I definitely recommend both of these products, they are fantastic!

Next I have the Lee Stafford 'I Hate My Hair the Day It's Washed' which aims to Defluff, defrizz and deflyaway, which is literally everything I need! This is a solution spray that you spritz through your damp locks and it calms your frizz etc. down, and this makes my hair so much smoother and more manageable.

Then another Lee Stafford product, the Climate Control Serum, this again is great for defrizzing your hair and calming it down, whilst also protecting your hair from humidity that causes it to frizz up.

And the John Frieda Full Repair Deep Infusion* which is an oil for dry hair and this adds so much moisture to my hair, smooths it down and makes it look so much more shiny, I absolutely love it. 

This mask has been my savour this month! My hair was feeling awful from being on holiday and out in the sun all day and also straightening it a little more often than usual, but as soon as I put this on my hair my hair felt all lovely and silky again. This is basically a treatment which you put on for 5 minutes before applying your conditioner. It also has heat protectant in it which is awesome, although I always add my heat protectant aswell just for extra protection!

Last but not least, my TRESemme Keratin Smooth heat protectant which is my favourite heat protectant ever because it smooths my hair and makes it look so shiny! I wouldn't be without this, so if you're looking for a good heat protectant then I would definitely recommend this one.

Thanks for Reading,

What have been your haircare favourites this month?
