No7 Lash and Brow Perfector Review

Hello!

I'm glad to bring you a review today! 

This is No7's Lash and Brow Perfector - a clear gel on a mascara wand which you can use either as a discreet mascara to add natural definition to your lashes, or to keep your brows in shape. Being someone who likes their eyelashes to be one of the focuses of their eyes, I have yet to try the first use.. However, this is now a staple in my makeup back for sorting my brows! As my hair is currently dark brown ombre I tend to just run brown eyeshadow colour through my brows, a couple of shades lighter than my hair, then just run this through to make them stick. My eyebrows actually tend to go scew-whiff a lot! Probably because of my fringe. So this is a brow lifesaver!

I got it back when No7 £5 vouchers were rife! I believe it cost £10 though full price from Boots

One Photo.. AND I'M BACK!

Hello! (properly)

I'M BACK!

I'm sorry that my blog has been a bit lifeless of late. And its got a bit jumbled up. It may have fixed itself now though.. Fingers Crossed!

So I have the final part of this challenge: one photo.

I decided to leave it to now and show you my holiday!

Here is me, looking all thoughtful beside the sea. It was a really nice week! Relaxing. No wifi or phone minutes to occupy my time! A lot of sea air. And I was out with my brother in his boat quite a lot. This is a relatively small boat, with me right at the front, and due to the high winds (which happily kept the rain away all week!) the waves were huuuuge and I kept getting soaked!

SO this week there shall be lots to catch up on! Mostly reviews and hauls! I'm excited - I like me a good review! I've collected quite a lot over the past few weeks too!
I also have a LOT of reading to catch up on haha!

Two songs ..

Hello!
The second last day of the 10 day You challenge! Phew!

Today's one is a bit difficult for me to write about: songs. Not because of some traumatic experience of my past that makes me tear up at the word, but basically, because my music taste is almost non-existent. I listen to the radio (when someone else puts it on..) and a lot of chart music (though I'm still always waaaay behind) and occasionally find an album which I love and listen to solely for a few weeks. My iPod is almost never charged (also, where is it...hm) but I get round this by singing a lot myself when I'm at home - musicals, theatre songs, Jessie J.

Anyway.

The first is Who You Are by Jessie J. I often refer to her as my soul guru haha! I love the emotion in this song.

 

The second is one I keep hearing in this Chevy Sonic advert in the cinema. I just discovered the song is Fun - We are Young. I don't think I'd actually heard the start of the song before haha! I love this advert so I'm linking that version!

See you soon!

Three films ..

Hello!
Another day from the 10 Day You Challenge - this time focused on films.

These are three of my favourites from my abnormally large dvd collection

 Blue Valentine. Ryan Gosling - enough said. It is based on a true love story, and is a really emotional watch!

The Other Boleyn Girl. I'm a sucker for period movies! And this one is one of the best. Scarlett Johannson and Natalie Portman are two of my favourite actresses, and are both amazing in this rendition of Henry VIII and the beginnings of his split from Catherine of Aragon and the Catholic Church. 

Brightstar. This is such a beautiful movie. It focuses on the poet John Keats from the 19th century in England, and the love of his life, Fanny Brawne. (No sniggering at her name haha!) I always cry at the end! SO EMOTIONAL!

I love rom-coms especially, so if you have any good suggestions leave them in the comments!

Thanks guys
