I'm ao excited to announce that you beauty lovers can get your hands on some freebies! I mean who doesn't like freebies? especially when they are high end makeup and skincare products! oh yhh :)

 

In this month's issue's (August) there are some very fabulous things up for grabs. 

 

Red magazine are giving away the radial lip balm worth around £20!

 

Marie Clare are giving away the balance me cleanse and smooth face balm or balance me rich moisture cream which again cost around £20 each, I wanted to try the balance me cleanse and smooth face balm but now I can without the splurge! they changed the formula of these, before there was oat bits in it which now they have made it very fine.. It contains natural products.

 

Cosmopolitan are giving away new cid lip and cheek crayon tint in 3 different shades and also a mascara to choose from. the lip tints are very pigmented!

 

The most exciting one of all is Glamour magazine giving away Clinique freebies, including chubby sticks, finally Iv'e had all these dupes but I can have the original! in the shades woppin watermelon and super strawberry. A mascara that is really good and lastly the dramatically different moisturiser! 

 

It was very difficult to get hold of these freebies especially the chubby sticks which seem to be out of stock everywhere, but in the end my searching paid off! =D the things we do haha

Ramadan Mubarak Everyone!

 

This is just a quick post on wishing you all Ramadan Mubarak in this blessed and holy month. To all my muslim followers and also non-muslim followers :)

Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calender. The first day of ramadan starts based on the sighting of the moon, from which muslims all around the world fast for 29 or 30 days again based on the sighting of the moon. Fasting is also one of the five pillars of Islam. All though our calendar is based on the moon it is slightly different to the lunar calendar which is based on astrology.

We do not consume food or water from dawn (sehri) until sunrise (Iftar). It is the time we give our self training and reminder of how to be Muslims as we may forget things from time to time and the increase of good deeds while trying to avoid doing sins. We reflect upon life and a month we get forgiven. This is the month the first verses of the Quran was revealed to the Prophet peace be upon him. At Iftar (time we break our fast) we start by eating dates (if you like it) and water and then eat many things as a family that we have prepared. The best time hehe

In this special month, We feel closer to our lord and we try and be better muslims, the reading of the Holy Quran and praying is increased. The gates of paradise is open and the doors of hell is locked. The night of power (Laylat-ul-Qadr) falls on one of the last ten days in which whoever prays on this night their sins will be forgiven, InShaAllah, this night the Quran was revealed.

We celebrate the end of ramadan with the festival of Eid where we exchange gifts, pray, visit one another, wear new clothes, and eat! But obviously eating moderately!

Many people ask is it not difficult but It's actually not that hard, you only feel hungry from time to time but its faith that's important! Hope you all have a good Ramadan!

 P.s I may be doing weekly posts on what I did that week such as what I ate etc :)

The beauty scenario tag

This tag was created by lily pebbles, youtuber i'm sure you've heard of, I love watching her videos and blog posts! I thought this tag is really good so I thought I would do it and tag some of yous to do it, if i haven't tagged you do the tag if you like it and comment below so ill check it out and make sure you follow !

So here are the questions:

1) You have to get rid of all your foundations, and only keep one highend and one drugstore which do you keep?

This is similar to my question i've asked some of yous when i done the liebster award :) hmmmm for highend i think my makeup forever hd foundation, its really good for pictures as well as given a nice flawless medium dewy finish, drugstore would be harder because i use a lot of drugstore foundations, but i would say my Maybelline fit me foundation which is very similar to mac foundations!

2) You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?

My answer will be similar to lily's as it would depend on the situation, if its formal and the lady seems hard to talk to and no humour defo ignore but if it was more easy going then probably ill say it in a joke way

3) Your not feeling yourself and you need a pick me up lipstick which one do you go for?

Definitely mac russian red, i adore this lipstick and i need any excuse to put this one so it would be perfect to put my mood right up and shining ;)

4) You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do to your hair and makeup differently?

hmm well maybe straighten my hair less but i know that wouldn't have happened but maybe use more hair oils and leave-in conditioners? makeup- well i never wore a lot of makeup in my teenage times but may use concealer! 

5) You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length pixie lott hair cut but they hear wrong and give you a pixie hair cut. Do you a) smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum and cry hysterical b)cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) complain to the manager and demand a refund. 

I am such a C  person! they have ruined my hair i will definitely be talking to the manager...

6) your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup bag?

My naked 1 palette, it has the most amazing-est colours that you can achieve different looks with and I adore the palette so defo..

7) Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe? 

My mac lipsticks as I really love them I think.. not sure about this one as i love all my makeup...

8) Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. do you a)just pretend you havn't noticed b) ask them to repurchase  it or c)secretly do the same to something of theirs ... 

Well i hope none of my friends are like that, and if that happens they do tell me and at least ask to replace it something i would do if that happened, I would ask what happened to my product, and depends if it was something i really liked..

5 fellow beauty/fashion blogs I tag to do this post because you all are amazing <3

Dinner Date

After a long stressful and tiring day there's nothing like a good meal, and whats better than sharing it with your best friend.

Eating while discussing many important topics such as what we brought today and whats on our wish list (still to buy) is very important to us girlies haha

We decided among the healthier options for food and off we went to jamie italians, we both brought the prawn linguine in small, some chips and a drink and we were too full for any desert options. 

See what I brought for my spring look book yes already! I should do a little fashion show off with pictures in probably febuary or march for spring, that reminds me i still need to do my winter fashion.. Hopefully some time soon .. X

Weight?

. 

Whether its losing weight or gaining weight this question arises in all of us. this is a battle we all face (majority) but rather then talking about bigger size people who want to lose weight, i wanted to talk about smaller size people..

in other words skinny or anorexic, although a person may not be anorexic or face any health issues, they may eat a lot but be really skinny. i know being too skinny can be a problem, such as not finding clothes that fit. a person may just have high metabolism. but i wanted to ask it isn't OK for someone to point fingers and say OMG! your so skinny? rude much? you wouldn't say it to a fat person now would you.


Can you imagine...
                why are you so fat?
                                                           society is really funny sometimes.

it can as much as an ordeal for a really skinny person as it is for a fat person..

i know someone who is really skinny, i know they have tried a lot to put on weight, although they aren't depressed about their weight, they aren't that overly happy about it.

I am not talking about a female as most of you would have concluded, (ironic) i was in fact talking about a male, he has struggled in putting on weight, he is an average 6 ft male with a really high metabolic rate, which means he eats and eats (exactly as i speak LOL!) but hardly puts on any pounds.. he cannot go gym and go all muscular.. due to the fact that he needs fat to turn to muscle..

so remember weight issues isn't just females face, and not just about gaining weight.
i didn't want to talk to about people trying to lose weight as there already many blogs, articles on that, and i didn't want to talk about anorexia either.. i just wanted to point out that being on the skinnier side of scale can be hard and it shouldn't be OK to say 'your so skinny' it can actually hurt some people's feeling just as calling someone fat! because not everyone wants to be skinny as much as it is hyped in the media..
