April Favourites!

Movies & TV Shows

Game of Thrones Season 5

The suspense that is building up in Season 5 is killing me! I can't really remember who it was but one of the actors has revealed that there isn't something coming up towards the end of the series which is worse than the Red Wedding! Oh God! I'm so afraid yet excited to see what happens!

Blood and Ice Cream trilogy

I have been such a huge fan of these movies since I first watched Shaun of the Dead! Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are so amazing when they work together. All the movies of the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy have such amazing and funny story lines. If I had to choose a favourite, it would definitely be The World's End. The ending was just so epic! Plus Simon Pegg was such a treasure to watch!

Makeup & Cosmetics

Hoola Bronzer

I found this life saver in Debenhams. This bronzer is the best I've ever used and I'm not even joking! I was told that it matches all skin tones which is 100% true! I love it and it was totally worth spending £23.50 on! I strongly recommend this product guys.

Music

Ken Ashcorp

I talked about Ken Ashcorp in another one of my blog entries. Seriously he is such a good song writer and has a voice that could slay! Just listen to the song I linked above!

Clothes

Primark - The Little Mermaid clothes

Primark seem to be getting in a lot of Disney clothes and there are many Little Mermaid tops which I absolutely adore! Even though I've bought nearly all of the tops, in the words of Ariel; "I want more."

Food

HiFi Light Rocky Road bars

Last week I started Slimming World and I noticed they had these bars and I decided to try them out. Honestly, they are amazing. They taste way better than Cadburys chocolate and literally don't have that many calories! Thank God these bars exist!

Liebster Award Tag!

Hey guys and gals! 


I was nominated by Aoife Curran (Sakura Beauty) to do the Liebster Award Tag. Aoife's blog is such a fun place to explore as she blogs about beuaty, fashion and lifestyle! It's such a lovely laid out blog! Seriously I recommend checking her out guys!

My answers 
1)What is your favourite drug store makeup brand?
I am so in love with Collection 2000! Their products are of such great quality and so affordable! £3.99 for a powder that leaves amazing results? GIMME!
2)What is your favourite high end makeup brand?
I don't really have a favourite as I rarely buy expensive makeup. But a few days ago I bought the Hoola bronzer by Benefit so I guess I favour them.
3)What is your best childhood memory?
My favourite childhood memory is actually quite hilarious actually. We were at Disney and I was afraid to go into the Queen of Hearts maze because I thought she would be angry at me and stuff. So my Dad sat outside with me waiting for my Mom and brother who were in the maze. My Dad was trying to encourage me and was saying things like "We'll go in and beat up the Queen! I'll hold her and you do the kicking!" My Dad amazes me sometimes.
4)What are your favourite high street stores?
Definately H&M! Their clothes are so unique and I'm really fond of the clothes made by Divided. They are so colourful, quirky and unique. 
5)What are three skincare products you couldn't live without?

• No7 Normal/Oily  Purifying Exfoliator. It leaves my skin feeling so good.
• Botanics 100% Organic Rosewater toning spritz! I spray my face with this every morning and night and it feels so refreshing.
• Boots Essentials moisturizing cream. It's so affordable and leaves my skin feeling so soft!

6)What is your feel good song?
To be honest I have a new feel good song every other week. Right now, though, it's by a YouTube singer called Ken Ashcorp and the song is called Touch Fluffy Tail (only gamers will get understand.) It's such a funky song and Ken's voice gives me goosebumps!
7)Where is your dream holiday destination?
I want to say the Red Light District but I guess I should be more serious, haha. Just send me a place with an amazing water park and i'll be a happy camper. But no sharks though! Seriously...no sharks.
8)What has been your biggest achievement in life so far?
I had a short story published a few years ago which was kind of a stepping stone into my career as an author. The story wasn't the best but people liked it. And you know what they say; you are your worst critic.
9)Who would play you in a film about your life?
I would definately choose the beautiful Helena Bonham Carter and the movie would be about my fabulous future! In case Helena can't do it, it'll be a movie about my life as a blogger and a YouTuber and Natalie Dormer would play me.
10)What is your favourite fragrance?
I have this perfume called Striking and it is the most prettiest smelling perfume I've ever used. I really recommend it guys!

Beauty Haul! // H&M, BOOTS & MANY OTHER WONDERFUL PLACES

Hey there guys! The other day I went on a huge shopping spree and over spent a bit and I want to share with you the products that I bought. I really recommend all of them!

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder (£23.50)

I found this life saver in Debenhams. This bronzer is the best I've ever used and I'm not even joking! I was told that it matches all skin tones which is 100% true! I love it and it was totally worth spending £23.50 on! I strongly recommend this product guys!

Bourjois Paris Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara (£7.99)

I remember getting this mascara for Christmas years ago and was so happy when I found it in Boots the other day! It makes my lashes dark, thick and long just how I want them to look everyday! And it only costs £7.99! So worth it!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£3.99)

I have been searching far and wide across the country for the perfect concealer! Since I'm so pale I could never find the right shade as they were all too peachy or dark. But a friend recommended this beauty of a product to me and I promise this, it's the best concealer I have ever used. It stays on all day and leaves your skin looking bright and healthy. I couldn't see any red areas in my face! It costs £3.99 which is also very affordable!

Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm (£5.99)

I love this balm so much! It leaves my lips feeling really soft and also gives them intense colour! Even after eating lunch and having tea my lips were still vibrant looking! I got this balm at Boots. Seriously, girls! Go get one now!

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick (£1.99)

Wow talk about another amazing and affordable product! The Natural Collection sells their lipsticks for just £1.99! Talk about bargain! They have many colours ranging from nude to cherry. The lipstick above is called 'Pink Orchid' and is such a pretty colour. It not only leaves my lips looking shiny but I can also see it leave them shimmering also! I found this lippy in Boots!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (£3.99) & Real Techniques Powder Brush (£12.99)

I literally am in love with these two products. Before I found this Real Techniques product I was using a really cheap powder brush which barely applied powder preventing my foundation from setting. But this brush is really worth it! It applied powder evenly around my skin and my foundation lasts longer. I got the brush in Boots as well as the powder. Stay Matte powder is so amazing! As well as concealer I had problems finding powder that matched my skin tone. So I was pretty pleased to find this! It stays on all day and matches perfectly!

Divided Wool Hat (£14.99)

I was always tempted to buy one of these and I'm so glad I did, It makes me feel like one of the witches from American Horror Story: Coven. It seriously makes you look 100 times more classier than you already are. I got in in H&M which is my most favourite shop ever! They have a wide range of these hats so you can try on as many as you like until you find the perfect one! 

When I tried this one on I knew it was the perfect hat for me and to be honest, I think everybody can pull it off! Snaps and claps for H&M and Divided for never failing to make me feel stylish!

So that's is it for today! Hope you guys enjoyed this post! You can keep in touch with me through my:

"I have an irrational fondness for you..."

Hey guys! It's me again! So today I want to talk about people and things I have an irrational fondness for meaning things that I'm fond of which don't really seem to be something to be fond of! I am a strange being sometimes but hopefully some of you out there have something you are irrationally fond of too!

Llamas

I have no idea where my fondness for llama's came from. I have a feeling it may have something to do with The Emperor's New Groove but I could be wrong. I find them really funny looking...like a horse mixed with a giraffe mixed with a sheep. Plus I love the llama song. Happy llama, sad llama, mentally disturbed llama, super llama, drama llama, big fat momma llama!

Panda eyes and messy hair

I don't know why but I find messy morning hair and panda eyes kind of attractive. Alot of people find it weird that I like it. But I don't know...Each to their own? I also used to be called panda for this.

Nigel Farage

We all know that Nigel Farage is a notorious racist who doesn't believe in free healthcare, wants to bring indoor smoking back, wants to legalise hunting and represents the rich. So why am I fond of him? To be honest; it's because of his face. He has the funniest face I've ever seen and he can pull some amusing expressions.

Endermen 

I literally searched the town for this cutie the other day! I remember when I used to play Minecraft years ago I was terrified of Endermen cause they made zombie sounds and I thought they would kill you if you got in close contact with them. But then I learned that you just have to avoid eye contact with them! Then they were made to make gurgling and chirps instead of zombie sounds. Now I love the adorable creatures!!

Onision

Onision seems to be the Katie Hopkins of YouTube. He says many hurtful things and contradicted himself many times in the past. But to be honest; it brings me amusement! I literally laughed a lot over his argument with Shane Dawson. Is that sadistic to say? I'm just being honest. I also pity him as he has depression which I feel is one of the reasons he can't hold his own.

So that is five things I have an irrational fondness for! What about you guys?

Am I a 'Common White Girl'?

1. Favorite Starbucks drink?

Caramel Cream Frappuccino. Although I only get them once in a while! I don't always go to Starbucks!

2. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Depends really! If I do a proper job of makeup then i'm usually late for college. 

3. How many selfies do you take on a daily basis? 

I take many selfies! I have to get the right look. Sometimes I take good selfies but I can still find a fault with them. For example, my nose could look crooked or my eyes are too small. Also I take my selfies with an app called MegaPhoto so I have a filter ready for me.

4. How many IG followers and pics do you have? 

I have 287 Instagram followers and have 75 pictures posted. I basically use alot of hashtags. And I mean ALOT! #imattentionseeking #lookatmypictures #lookhowcutemyhairis

5. Do you ever say “LOL” or “OMG” out loud? 

I say LOL all the time. I never say OMG. I'll sound superficial then lol.

6. Do you wear the same clothing item more than once? 

Do you mean in a week or whatever or in general? I mean who buys a top from H&M to just throw it away after you've worn it once? Of course I wear my clothes more than once.

7. Are you racist? 

I like to say I am "Karen Smith".

8. How many tweets do you have? 

I have two twitter accounts so I'll use my Schmelala account to justify. I only have 190 tweets. But I only made this account recently. My other Twitter has about 900 tweets. 

9. Instagram, Twitter, or Tumblr? 

Instagram! I love it so much! 

10. What do you spend most of your time doing? 

I spend most of my time on YouTube watching videos I've never seen and even videos I've seen too many times!

11. Who are your favorite YouTubers? 

Jenna Marbles, PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye...You could also see my Favourite YouTube Channels post to see all the others.

12. How often do you do your nails? 

Not very often. I don't like when my nail polish gets all chipped. It looks trashy.

13. Are you a shopaholic? 

Oh my God, yes! I can't stop spending money on useless things! Yesterday I went to Argos and bought an Enderman plushie. I know I don't regret it now but I will regret it sooner of later!

14. How many times have you watched Mean Girls? 

I've lost count! I love it too much and it never gets old. "Four for you Glen Coco! You go Glen Coco!"

15. Do you own a lot of clothes? 

Yes but I think I only wear 20% of them. I only have some nice clothes.

16. Do you take pictures of your food before you eat it? 

Deepends really. If I'm in a resteraunt with a fancy meal then yeah! I'll take pictures of it and I'll even Instagram it! Filter and everything!!

17. Do you wear makeup everyday? 

If I'm going out or doing a YouTube video then yes. What's the point in wearing makeup if you're lazing around at home?

18. What are your average grades in school?

Well first semester I got an A but then again, my lecturer did say he let us all off easy. I'd say I barely scraped a pass!

19. How do you usually style your hair? 

I backcomb the shit out of my hair. I hate having flat and thin hair. I like it when its big and thick. It looks ridiculous but I don't care!

20. Do you always look presentable? 

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. No one really says to me "Oh you look good today!" But no ones ever said "You look Ratchet today" neither. Well my family have...
