Hello everyone, firstly I would like to apologise for my absence as I haven't posted for about 3 weeks. It is because I actually haven't had anything to post and it's been a slow process of finding something to post about, but now I have a couple of things to talk to you about! Anyway, on with the review.
I've needed a new mascara for about 2 weeks maybe, so I decided to give this one a try because it was new and it looked very promising on it's promotional advert.
To me, the packaging is just average and I don't have much to say about it other than it's just average.
On the back it has the two brushes; for the upper lashes it has a push up brush to push the lashes up and make them appear wider. For the lower lashes it has a tiny brush to capture each bottom lash and make them magnified.
I can tell you that both brushes do exactly that, as you can see on the image of myself on the right that my lashes appear volumised and noticeable which is everything I want in a mascara! You only need one coat of each for both upper and lower lashes to achieve maximum results.
My natural lashes are quite short and I really wanted a mascara that could almost make my lashes look false without having to buy an expensive mascara or wear false eyelashes. This mascara does exactly that, along with making both sets of lashes the same length. I used to use Maybelline: The Falsies, but unfortunately that mascara has run it's course with me because it doesn't give my lashes total length anymore whereas this mascara has.
I didn't know what to expect from this mascara, but it has to be one of the best mascara's I have ever used in a long time. I think this drugstore product could rival high end mascara, Benefit: They're real.
If you want long lashes but do not want to pay for a high end product, I recommend you buy this product asap!
£8.99 from Boots or Superdrug.
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog and today I have my first ever review for you and it is Killer Queen by Katy Perry.
“Killer Queen has been in my vocabulary since I was 15, because of the song ‘Killer Queen’ by Queen. Freddie Mercury painted the lyrics of this woman who I wanted to be. She seemed very powerful, and she captivated a room when she walked in. I named my company Killer Queen after those lyrics. I feel like, after all this time, it was appropriate to use that name in association with something I did. I feel like I’m falling, finally, into that woman Freddie painted.”
Killer Queen by Katy Perry was inspired by the song Killer Queen by Queen and is the third fragrance from Perry.
Firstly, personally I adore the bottle, it is said to be inspired by a queen's sceptre with the shape of a Ruby diamond. One of my favourite things about the bottle is the red ombre/gradient effect. As you can see it goes from a stunning deep ruby red colour at the top of the bottle and fades out to a dainty pure pinky shade at the tip.
Continuing about the bottle; the contrast between the royal red and shining gold shades shows off pure luxury and a sexy sophistication about this perfume.
One of the main words I think of when I smell this perfume is playful because it's a charmingly floriental fragrance. It opens up with dark berries and lush plum which blend together to make a rich floral heart. With a complimented highlight of Royal Red Velvet flower which soothes into some sensual musks with added precious woods.
Top Notes: Wild Berries, Dark Plum and Bergamot
Main Notes: Velvety Red Flower, Sambac Jasmine and Rainbow Plumeria
Base Notes: Cashmere, Patchouli and Liquid Praline
Style: Sexy, Royal and Radiant
Scent: Florential
Feel: Playful
Day/Night: Night/Evening fragrance
Hello, Happy New Year everybody! I hope everyone had a great night last night.
I went to a party in my village, we go every year and have a great time! I love it; once again this year, my best friend Chloe came along for the party. It was one hell of a night! Wont go into too much detail about the night, but now my feet are killing me! (stupid heels)
I don't know about all of you, but I still can't believe it's 2014, last night went so quick and life is going too quick. I wish time would slow down!
<--- Here's an image of my makeup, hair and outfit before I went out! You can't really see it, but the eye's were a shimmering silver and dark black smokey eye (oh so dramatic!) and I had striking red lips to go with it.
My outfit was a black bodycon sort of material underneath and then the top part had silver and pink sequins in a pattern over it (as you can see in the picture)
As for my hair; I was going to curl it but I plaited it into four sections the night before (fishtail for the under layer and a normal English brand for the top layer) which made it extremely volumised (my hair looked like a poodle when I took the plaits out, so I had to brush it down during the day, haha!) also, it was still slightly wavy anyway so I left it how it was and I loved it!

The whole point of this post wasn't to just explain about New Year's Eve, it was to decide on some new resolutions. I know what you're all thinking, too cliché. Personally, 2013 for my resolutions didn't go down to well because my top resolution was to lose weight for my summer holiday, did it work? NO!
I think the main reason it didn't work for me was because that's what I had set myself to do and I think personally it's harder to try lose weight when you're forcing your body to work to lose some weight. However, not only that, but also because I just did some exercise and got bored of those exercises eventually. Secondly, I didn't really change my diet, I cut out snacks and had fruit instead, but I didn't change my portion size for dinners and desserts. By the time summer came I had gained more weight than rather lost any. Therefore, overall I didn't achieve what I wanted because I couldn't be bothered in the end.
So, what am I going to do this year? This year I have some new resolutions that will hopefully be easier to stick to instead of last years main one.
1. Get fit
What I mean by get fit, is simply to become more healthy. I rarely eat fruit or drink any water at the moment, therefore I feel like my body inside is also unhealthy as well as the outside. Therefore I need to cut out the coke and chocolate and try and swap it for water and fruit. I also need to do more exercise, not just for my well being, but also for college (e.g. physical theatre, you need to become physically fit).
2. Never waste a moment
After I lost Jeffrey (my cat) at the end of last year (aka, 24th of December 2013) and I loved him so much and feel like I didn't make the most of the moments I had with him because the vet said to us he'd have two years left in him, but unfortunately he didn't. Therefore, I need to make every moment count with the people I love and make sure they know you love and care for them because when you need them the most, it could be too late. But not just making moments with people, I mean every moment: making memories, loving life, making the most of every day, go with the flow (as we all know when things are overly planned it never works out).
3. Be Happy and Confident
I think this will be my final solution this year, my problem is, I let things get me down sometimes which ruins my happiness which means I need to let go and forget about everyone else, as long as I am happy that's the main thing! But also, to just be confident in my own skin; with who you are and what you are because no one is you and they will never be like you. Finally, along the being happy front, just be happy with who you are, what you've got in your life and stop wanting what other people have and appreciate what you do have.
Okay everyone thank you for reading my New Year's post if you did, I hope it helped you with some resolutions, although you should be trying to be better everyday, not just when another year comes around.
Anyway, I'm hoping that 2014 is a much better year than 2013 for me personally and we shall soon see where it takes us.
Bye for now everyone and I'll be back blogging very soon (possibly tomorrow, hehe!)
Lots of love on the new year
Katie xoxoxo
