As someone with extremely oily hair I dismissed it as a product that I would never use and chucked it in my drawer of hair products. Then one day I was rummaging around and found it lurking, since my hair was dyed blonde last year it's quite dry at the ends even after being dyed brown again the blonde has come through and I now have an ombré effect hair without even trying. The lighter part of my hair though is so super dry so I thought I'd give the Berber oil a go of it. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The product is a gel like oil- that's the best way to describe it, it's not as runny like an oil but not as solid as gel is. I pop some into the palms of my hand and rub it between them and distribute it through the lengths and ends of my hair when it's been towel dried. I don't go above my ears with the product as I don't want my roots to get greasy. I then brush through my hair which is now tug free and smooth. After drying my hair is super soft and a lot less frizzy and messy looking, it then straightens with such ease and is not greasy in the slightest. My hair is shiny and healthy looking.</div><div><br></div><div>Would I recommend this product?? Yes!!! 100%. </div><div><br></div><div>Would I repurchase?? 1 million%. You can get Berber oil on Amazon and EBay, 100ml is less than £10 and you need the tiniest amount each time. So definitely worth the money!!! </div><div><br></div><div>I hope this review was helpful.

So since I have no inspiration for posts at the moment I thought I would let my followers and readers get to know me a bit better. So as you know I'm getting married next year, next September to be exact. I'm currently in my final semester at Uni and I cannot wait to finish as I can then move to the south of England to be with my wonderful husband to be who is doing his Phd down there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been long distance for 3 years which is so ridiculously hard. I never knew just how hard it would be, but we got through it and I think if something is meant to be then you will be able to work through whatever's going on in your life. So in January I move to my own home with my other half and it seriously cannot come quick enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping that over the next few months my blog will take shape and that I can find some inspiration for some new posts. If anyone has any suggestions I would be more that grateful. </div>

Hellooooooo!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I downloaded the Pinterest app onto my IPad and I have been addicted to it ever since. It has pretty much taken over my life for the past week as I have been constantly pinning things to my boards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For anyone looking for inspiration for beauty, food, fitness, wedding planning or you just want to look at cute pictures of animals the Pinterest is for you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first signed up online I didn't really understand what all the fuss was about but boy was I wrong. It has given me so many crafty ideas of things to make for my wedding decorations and things for the home. I have found new recipes and some amazing make up inspiration. Quite a few of the looks I'm planning on trying to recreate. </div>

<span style="color: black;">I was in Boots and spotted this beauty!!! I have been desperate to try the Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman brushes for a while and this was finally my chance. It was so hard to decide which one to get but I decided on getting the stippling brush. I am constantly looking for a great brush to put my foundation on with. </span></div>

As someone who normally gets acrylic nails I decided to save myself a bit of money and instead of forking out the £30 i normally pay I thought I would try the Impress stick on nails by Broadway. Lets just say I was thoroughly impressed. The nails had such a lovely pattern on them and they come in all different colours. They were supper easy to apply and lasted for quite a few days. You get 24 nails in all different sizes so if one does fall off you do have a spare. I picked mine up in boots for £8.99 although depending on the pattern/colour they are priced differently. <a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DitJ6rmhTqY/UA-2FtSnjFI/AAAAAAAAAN0/kVlJRMWHgNk/s640/blogger-image-1960447811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DitJ6rmhTqY/UA-2FtSnjFI/AAAAAAAAAN0/kVlJRMWHgNk/s640/blogger-image-1960447811.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2412292455554497089-6925516720655571737?l=somesimplemusings-azaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Azariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16584229212182441364noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412292455554497089.post-76706971101817456462012-07-25T10:18:00.000+01:002012-08-06T18:15:54.130+01:002012-08-06T18:15:54.130+01:00July Glossybox 2012-My thoughts!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This Months Glossybox in my opinion was quite impressive. With the HD Brows kit being included once again(Full sized £19.95-palette). Which is great since I dropped and smashed my last one. Also included is A Jelly pong pong Lip frosting (Full size £10-15ml)scented with Irish cream pavlova (which also may be the colour as I can't find the colour on it). A Monu Golden Glow face self tanner(30ml, Fulll size £23/200ml), A Clynol enrich colour shampoo(50ml, Full size £9.35/200ml) and an Elizabeth Arden Skin balancing lotion (5ml, Full size £32/50ml)which I am really looking forward to trying as I haven't tried Elizabeth Arden before. I also received a bonus item of Elizabeth Arden skin balancing line sample which was a lovely surprise. I haven't seen any other reviews with a bonus item and may be because I have a years subscription. All in all I think Glossybox have redeemed themselves this month with the shambles of last months box. </div>

Angels on Bare Skin is a fresh facial cleanser. According to the Lush website they claim that "
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Angels on Bare Skin evens out skin tone, reduces redness and improves the health and appearance of your skin – giving a natural healthy glow"</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">it contains ground almonds which add a nice exfoliation to the skin. Iv only been using this product for a few days and I really like it. With it you take a small pea sized amount and mix with water to turn to a paste and then use all over. My skin feels soft and fresh after using. </span></div>

I have really enjoyed using this product- I have oily skin and my skin hasn't gotten more oily since using this prodcut. Its fab for taking off make up. Just rub product into damp skin and wash off with a warm cloth or cotten pad. </div>

As well as it keeping your skin in tip top condition its also nice to have a pampering treat. Theres nothing quite as nice as popping on a face mask and chilling out in the bath with some relaxing music and candles.<br />
<br />
So I am now on a quest to find the perfect skincare routine and in the coming weeks will have a series of reviews from cleansing to toning and then on to moisturiser! I have been testing 3 different cleansing waters so I will be reviewing them first.<br />
<br />
Do any of you have any recommendations on what I should try, or anything you would like me to review??<br />
<br />
Comments always welcome! <br />

Sleep in rollers have had a little bit if a buzz around them in the last few months. With sales in Velcro rollers skyrocketing since being seen on the girls from TOWIE and the Scousewives they have become a major must have in every girls hair accessories drawer. The most annoying thing is the waiting time for your rollers to give you volume. Thats where sleep in rollers come in.<br />

Each Roller has a soft squeezy sponge in the middle and the roller itself is sqeezable. This allows for a more comfortable wear and allows for easier sleeping with the rollers in. Although I found sleeping with them uncomfortable I love the effect that they gave in the morning with minimal styling time. </div>

I secured each roller with a couple of kirby grips which meant that they were less likely to fall out through the night with all the tossing and turning that I do. The downside to this was the kinks the kirbies left in my hair which I had to use straightners just to straighten out. The Rollers left my hair super volumised and with a nice shape to it which can be seen in the below pic.</div>

Overall my thoughts are positive on the rollers although they are still uncomfortable to sleep in they give an amazing effect and are great if you dont have time to blow dry your hair with a lot of volume or have time to wait on rollers working through the day. This is certainly an easier way to get the volumised look with only a minimal amount of time styling!! For me they are a definite YAY!!!! </div>

I bought the original palette the week it came out and have used it loads! It definitely has become my go to and is also great when travelling as you can vary the looks you do from one thing!<br />
<br />
So when I heard Urban Decay were bringing out a new palette I was a bit skeptical- I mean how many neutral colours can there really be??? But in saying that I really love this new palette. The colours are more taupe-y compared to the first which is more gold and I love that it contains a matte black to really smoke up a look.<br />

Sorry for the rubbish pics my camera is rubbish!<br />
Only one colour was repeated from the first palette which happens to be the one I use the most which is half baked (second from the left)<br />
<br />
I think the palette is not necessary if you have the first one unless you are a true beauty junkie and if I was to choose I would choose the first over the second eyeshadow wise but the second is better case wise! The case is much more sturdy in the second palette. I have travelled alot with the first and it perfectly ok.<br />
<br />
So I guess what I'm trying to say is they both have their pro's and con's.<br />
<br />

I love to read and unfortunately don't get to read too much but since I got my kindle for Christmas 2010 I have really started to read more and lately there have been a few books that have really stood out to me. one being a series. <div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>THE HUNGER GAMES</u></b></div>
<div>
<img height="320" src="http://cdn.stereogum.com/files/2011/12/the-hunger-games-movie-poster.jpg" width="215" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The hunger games is an amazing trilogy and is coming out at the cinema on the 23rd of March. I got into these books from my friend Lucy who was reading them and in fact our whole group of friends started reading it!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The story focuses on Katniss the female lead and is set in the future in America after a massive world war. The country (now called Panem) is split into 12 districts which are ruled by the capitol and each year a boy and a girl from each of the 12 districts compete to the death in an arena! its an absolutely amazing trilogy and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good book. I will also being going to the cinema when its release to see whether the movie lives up to the book. </div>

Although I don't blog about the contents as I think so many people do that and it wouldn't be constructive to have any more reviews than what is needed. I may review some of the individual products from time to time if there is something I truley love and would recommend and there are a couple of things that will come up in future posts.<br />
<br />
<br />
So onto the point of my post today!<br />
<br />
In my room I have a shelving set which is where I keep all my glossy boxes with the lids underneath each box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-28wfah11lJI/T0O8ezU2qpI/AAAAAAAAAGM/K3MxdAoKNKU/s1600/blog+photos+021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-28wfah11lJI/T0O8ezU2qpI/AAAAAAAAAGM/K3MxdAoKNKU/s640/blog+photos+021.JPG" width="640" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-28wfah11lJI/T0O8ezU2qpI/AAAAAAAAAGM/K3MxdAoKNKU/s1600/blog+photos+021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XDoSoTSBx44/T0O8sG47wvI/AAAAAAAAAGU/4r3iCfiyfxY/s1600/blog+photos+022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
This is my top shelf and I will explain each box in L-R.<br />
So the first box contains a few essentials, Hairspray, my deoderant my Fiances deoderant for when he visits ( we are long distance :( ) and a few other hair products.<br />
Next is my perfume box- I think you can guess whats in it.<br />
Then next one is my skincare box, so a few Body Shop products and bits and bobs from glossyboxes. My Liz Earle products are not there as they live next to my mirror. Next to my boxes I have a shoe shaped money bank.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sz_BeNT9-NE/T0PAoHs0e6I/AAAAAAAAAGc/8Zf8jvBj0ig/s1600/blog+photos+022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sz_BeNT9-NE/T0PAoHs0e6I/AAAAAAAAAGc/8Zf8jvBj0ig/s640/blog+photos+022.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Ok so onto the next 2 shelfs.<br />
<br />
The first one is my nail box with all my nail varnishes thrown in and false nails. As you can tell I'm not a very tidy person as long as its in a box.<br />
Next is my body products box and the main product in there at the moment is my Dead Sea Salt brushing scrub which I absolutely love!<br />
The next three boxes are just full of random bits and pieces which I really need to go through and organise.<br />
Onto my last box which I think is my favourite full of false eyelashes. I love falsies and think that for a night out they really complete the look.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway that enough of me blabbering on about boxes and my unorganised but organised storage. I think its a great way of reusing the boxes, it would be such a waste to throw them away. They also make great gift boxes and I did that at Christmas and used them for my two best friends presents.<br />
<br />
Leave a comment and tell me how do you reuse yours??<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For Christmas my wonderful Fiance` bought me a skincare collection from Liz Earle. As I had ran out of the cleanse and polish this was a wonderful gift! In the collection I got a 100ml pump cleanse and polish, a 200ml Instant Skin boost tonic and a 50ml skin repair moisturiser for normal combination skin. I also recieved as a free gift from Liz Earle the superskin concentrate oil.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> As an offer Liz Earle are offering the 3 skincare products for £41 with free p+p and a free gift. At the moment that gift is an<span style="line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"> Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask 50ml worth £12.75</span>.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish is extremely popular and there are so many reviews on youtube and on different blogs. My review can be found <a href="http://somesimplemusings-azaria.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-love-affair-withliz-earle-cleanse.html">here</a>. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The next step after using the cleanser is to use the Instant Skin Boost Tonic which is suitable for all skin types. The toner is said to be non-drying and soothes, refreshes and brightens the skin. I find that it does do all these things and I like the fact that its non-drying. After use the skin feels hydrated rather than stripped of its natural oils which is good for both oily and dry skin types. The Active ingredients found in the product include organic aloe vera, chamomile, cucumber and vitamin E, it is well known that these ingredients are great for healthy bright looking skin. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> On to the moisturiser. I use the Normal/combination one although they have different ones for each skin type. I find that i only need to use the smallest amount of product as a little really does go a long way. I really like this about the product as I know it will last for a long time. The moisturiser contains the active ingredients borage oil and avocado oil. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Although they are a little bit more pricey than many other brands I don't think you can really put a price on good skincare. It is important to make sure that the skin especially on the face is looked after and kept well hydrated. As well as drinking plenty of water it is important to look after the skin and I would highly recommend these products which are not tested on animals and are very natural. </span><br />

I had a look at some different brands of lipstain such as Max Factor and Maybelline but the Revlon coulours stood out to me as they come with a stain on one end and a balm on the other.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are 10 colours to choose from which range from nudes to dark or bright colours. I choose the colour Flame which is the 3rd one from the left. Its a very pinky orange colour.</span><br />

The felt tip side of the Lip pen, Its goes onto the lips nice and smooth. I use the pointed end to draw in a lip line then use it flat to colour in my lips.<br />

The Lip balm end of the Pen. I think its a great Idea to have a lip balm built into the product. I carry lip balm at all times as my lips dry out very easily and this helps to give a glossy effect and keep lips moisturised without the need of carrying around extra products.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is with the lip balm on top. It has a slightly more glossy effect to it which helps to pick it up the bit more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have found that the product does last for a number of hours without coming off even after drinking and eating. The only problem I have found is that it doesn't "stick" to my lips as much in the dryer areas. I would definitely recommend this product for people who like bright lip colours and are looking for a long lasting lip product. </span><br />

January for me is exam month so I did allow some extra expenditure (naughty me). There are some things I'm allowed to spend money on such as hair cuts, but no getting my nails done or buying new make up.<br />
<br />
For the past couple of years I was an avid Acrylic Nail user and would spend around £50 a month getting my nails done, but now that is no longer allowed I need to find other ways to keep my nails in shape. I regularly use Almond oil for my cuticles which I get from work ( at The Body shop) and love their Almond oil cuticle pen. I am also going to try using Sara from SWalkerMake-up's tutorial on how she does her nails which can be found <a href="http://swalkermakeup.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-apply-false-nails.html">here.</a><br />
<br />
The next thing I'm not going to do is buy any new make-up or skincare item unless it's to replace something....This is so hard with all the lovely new products coming out. So what I'm going to try and do is "shop my stash" I have drawers full of opened and partially used products- alot from work that I half use and move onto something else so that is going to stop and my aim is to have cleared the drawer by the end of the year.<br />
<br />
One thing I'm allowing myself to carry on getting is my GlossyBoxes. ( I still need one treat). There's a great facebook page for people to use if you receive something in your box that you don't like. Which can be found <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GlossySwaps">here</a>. Its great even for people who get boxes other than GlossyBox.<br />
<br />
I will more than likely keep updating on these blogs as I continue my quest for budgeting.<br />

<br />
<br />
About a month ago I decided that it was time to try a new skin care product. My skin had been awful and constantly breaking out along my chin and jaw line. That's when I decided to order the Liz Earle cleanse and polish after reading and watching numerous reviews on blog and you-tube. <br />
<br />
I ordered the 50ml pump starter set which came with one muslin cloth. I believe I paid around £8 something for this. Delivery was roughly £3. When I received my parcel I opened it to find the moat wonderful gift inside another 30ml tube and muslin cloth. So I got 80 ml for the price of 50. I was extremely happy with this as it was a complete surprise. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ApMFyU1HfpA/Ttf7dUvsTMI/AAAAAAAAAD4/1983z3dzfpg/s1600/blog+pics+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ApMFyU1HfpA/Ttf7dUvsTMI/AAAAAAAAAD4/1983z3dzfpg/s200/blog+pics+014.JPG" width="149" /></a></div>
<br />
50 ml pump bottle- I seem to have misplaced my 30ml tube.....<br />
<br />
<br />
So onto the product itself. It's a wonderful creamy consistency which has a lovely herby smell to it. It's a very relaxing smell actually. You put it on a dry face and rub it in, this can be done over makeup too. It's super gentle on the eyes and my eyes can be very sensitive. I rub it in to my eyes extremely gently and it melts every last bit of mascara. I then run the muslin cloth under warm water and massage my face with it. This takes off the cleanser, makeup and gently exfoliates dead skin cells.<br />
<br />

<br />
the product - very creamy!<br />
<br />
Since using this for the last month my skin has suffered from less breakouts and oilyness seems to under a lot more control. I adore this product and with definitely be repurchasing along with some other skin care treats such as toner and moisturiser. <br />
<br />
<br />
I also received 2 muslin cloths with my order but they are in the wash!<br />
<br />
All in all a must have product for any skin care junkies out there.<br />

<img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-D_qrGiNHjjk/ToX8HdgoROI/AAAAAAAAADg/4NCYp3qTzLo/IMAG0042.png" />My fantastic boyfriend.....sorry Fiancee proposed to me last week and I am super duper excited about the wedding. I can't wait to start planning! So my blog may become a little bit about wedding plans in the run up to the big day as well as hair and make up things.<br />
<br />
I have been so excited in buying wedding magazines to help me prepare for our big day and to help get some ideas for the wedding itself.<br />
<br />
So far we have a date and an idea about where we would like to get married but nothing is set in stone just yet.<br />
<br />
I will keep my blog updated in the mean time.<br />

Mac haute and naughty mascara. </p>
<p>Face: estee lauder double wear in desert beige. The body shop honey bronzer in 03 and mac blush in dame. </p>
<p>Lips: sleek pout paint port on first then mind over the top to tone it down. </p>
<p>Such a quick simple look. If I had more time I would have popped on a bit of eyeliner along the top lid and maybe studied some shadow along the lower lash line. </p>
<p>I love using neutral colours and the sleek nude pallet is a great affordable all founder when it comes to colours and variability. </p>
<p>I hope you like.</p>

I will definitely be repurchasing. </p>
<p>What they say: " use this foam to liquid formula for natural movement and bounce or to boost the performance of styling products. Formulated with iops technology pomegranate and pepper to provide heat protection and an viable style foundation for all hair types" </p>
<p>What I say: this product definitely gives bounce to the hair. I feel that when I use this product my hair is shinier and does sit a lot better even when it has only been blow dried. I also find that I can go an extra day between washes before, which for me is still only every other day but my hair is super oily normally. </p>
<p>Have any of you tried it?</p>

A very friendly sales assistant came over to help me. I t old her about my problem skin...Its normally oily but has been getting dry around the cheek and nose areas. She suggested that I needed to balance my skin out which was indeed true. She suggested one of Lush's fresh face masks. She tried 2 on the back of my hands Oatifix and Love Lettuce. Both of these were very nice although i preferred the feeling of Love Lettuce which contains lavender, crushed almonds and kaolin. It's exfoliating, soothing and balancing in one mask. She then used breath of fresh air toner this is a fresh and calming toner and helps make my pores smaller and my skin clean and refreshed. I then had Imperialis moisturiser applied again this moisturiser is balancing and leaves the skin soft and not oily or dry.<br />
<br />
I have now been using this regime everyday (the mask twice a week) for the past 2 weeks and my skin has improved considerably. It is now soft and not overly oily. The mask is great as a mask and exfoliation in one which saves me time in the morning. I am now in love with my new Lush skincare regime I will certainly be trying more skincare products from them.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2412292455554497089-2187705182249510337?l=somesimplemusings-azaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Azariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16584229212182441364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412292455554497089.post-36596579937943565312011-04-03T15:27:00.000+01:002011-04-03T15:27:13.183+01:002011-04-03T15:27:13.183+01:00First post!!So this is my first post on my new blog! I have no idea what I will be using this blog for. Probably some sort of reviews of beauty products, books that I'm reading maybe some great deals that I have found and just some rambling on about anything and everything.<br />
