Hair Accessories | Primark

Ah, Primark. You either love it or you hate it, there's literally no in between and if you say you hate it I'll probably think you're quite snobby, ngl. It's one of those stores where I most of the time go in if I have a spare five minutes to check out their pajamas, they're very tacky and I love it. Yes there's a lot of cheap tat, but sometimes you can go in and uncover a goldmine. When I went in on Friday I did exactly that.

I mean come on, what is there not to like with these hair clips? They're just so pretty! See, goldmine.

Think your hair looks a bit flat and well just crap? Put half of it up and attach one of the little clips and bam! Instantly red carpeting worthy. Well, that may be a bit of exaggeration but they still keep your hair from looking dull.

Can't be bothered with your hair today? No bother! Just shove it up a big pretty bow clip! Am I the only one who still wears big 'hair claws?' They're so easy to wear and don't leave a massive dent in your mane like bands do.. just sayin'. Just don't try laying down with one in because you'll probably break the clip and your head at the same time, ouch. #VivalaHairClawRevolution!

Bit far? Yeah probably.

On a side note the cute little sunglasses case underneath the clips is also from Primark. I'd just like to point out all the items are no more than £1.50. To quote the girl in the store on Friday "Oh em gee, everything in here is soo cheap." Welcome to Primark.

Throwback | Bebo Photos

Bare with me this post as I'm slightly hungover/full of cold, so this is going to be more picture based with less writing so I sound remotely comprehensible. 

Ah Bebo, nostalgia central for many young adults. Days were spent deciding which were the best Skins to use to showcase your personality, making sure you gave your closest friends (well that's probably what they thought) all your 'luvs' if you didn't want them to publicly fall out with you at school the next day. Then there were the comments/writing on peoples walls with words which probably did not need that extra e you added, it's safe to say it was a lot of fun while it lasted and if you weren't a part of it well.. suckz 2 be u LOL. Recently Bebo was set up again, this time only available on mobiles. Since a lot of people wanted their old photos but couldn't view their old profile, the company set up a system where you could request them with your old login details and they were then emailed to you. Unfortunately I believe if you haven't requested them by now, they've been deleted from their system. I did manage to get mine back before they were wiped and well.. I've decided to put the most cringey time in my life back on the internet, forever. Yeah great thinking their Vicky.

Well, without further ado.. Oh let's just get this over with.

Ah yes, the black and white phase. This clearly stretched over a long period of time as shown by the various hairstyles. The ridiculous comb over in the first two is not one of my finest moments, although my eyebrow game was definitely far stronger than it is now.

 Oh yes, this picture. When the kiss face emoji was an actual genuine pose. This never needs to be spoken about again.

 My overly edited stage! I feel very confident in saying that I'm pretty sure I was one of the first people to be using Picnik. Well proud.

 I honestly don't understand why I have so many pictures with dirty mirrors to be honest.

 Yep, the less said about this one the better. Just showcasing what a freak I was.

 Just showing how beautiful my friends are.

Is it over yet?

Well it's safe to say I'm glad I'm not that age anymore, but I'm sure it was pretty fun at the time.

Product Review | Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation

Hello lovelies!

Sorry I haven't posted recently I've been really busy with work/family/assignments, but

I hope everyone has had a lovely relaxing Easter and hopefully nobody has had a major chocolate egg overdose.. ANYWAY I recently purchased the latest Maybelline foundation and thought I'd give my opinion on it, if anyone is interested.

Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation

I've always been a fan of Maybelline foundations and as I young teenager, I swore by their Dream Satin Liquid and the Dream Matte Mousse. I have to say that this foundation is seriously brilliant when first applied. The consistency goes on quite runny, but as soon as it is rubbed in it literally feels like silk. Like most high street foundations, there isn't a vast amount of colours to choose from, and even though I went for the lightest shade it is still a tiny bit dark for my skin tone. Another great thing about this foundation is its lasting power. Granted if you wish to wear it from morning until evening I can't say your face will look flawless, but for the price of the product (£5.99) I'd say it's pretty decent.  I must say however I do find the applicator a bit odd and it would probably be better with a pump. Also I wouldn't advise this foundation to someone with drier skin as it can tend to stick more parched areas giving off the much sought flaky skin look, ahem.

I hope this has helped anyone who was considering buying the product. I really do whole heartedly recommend trying the foundation and I think this will be great with the warmer weather coming, so hopefully I won't be walking around looking like I've dunked my face in chip fat. What a beautiful image.
