Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer Vs Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Hi everyone, recently I went in to get my local drug store (in this case Superdrug) because I had run out of concealer and my usual, the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, was out of stock. Seriously, they always have shades 3 and 4 but NEVER 1 and 2. Grrrr

Anyway.. I decided to try the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer because I had heard really good things about it and I have to say; I was really disappointed.

So in this blog post I am going to be going through the differences between the two and why I prefer the Collection over the Rimmel.


  1. Coverage - ok so the first point is that the Collection gives really good coverage with spots and dark circles under the eyes (I find dabbing it, especially on spots, causes it to cover even more and stay on for longer) however the Rimmel, I found did not cover my spots at all, I put it on my spots or under my eyes and when I dabbed/rubbed it into my skin with a finger or brush it did not cover at all and it was like I had put none on.
  2. Lasting - the Collection stayed to it's name and lasts for absolutely ages! I find that during the day I did not need to touch up on my concealer at all just powder (I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent) where as the Rimmel did not last at all and I had to touch up at least twice during the day. Also, the Rimmel took longer to put on as I had to put more on which means that it is more expensive and lasts less time as you have to use more.
  3. Colour - I found that the Rimmel made me go slightly orange, not oompa-loompa orange but still not a natural colour. However the Collection fits my skin shade perfectly and I have very pale skin and I found that the Rimmel did not provide shades for lighter skin.
  4. Blending - the Collection blended in perfectly and it was not visible to the naked eye and noone noticed I was wearing make up at all. However the Rimmel I found left a mark over where my spot was of a darker shade compared to the rest of my skin which, rather than covered my spots, made them more obvious.
  5. Price - the Collection concealer is a pound cheaper and lasts longer so..
NB: These are my personal opinions and there are many who I'm sure would disagree as the Rimmel Wake Me Up is so popular there must be at least one person who loves it :)

The shades I own:
Rimmel Wake Me up: True Ivory - slightly too dark for my skin even in the summer but it was the lightest one they offered in my local superdrug.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: 1 - The lightest shade and the one I wear from october to about June/July as my skin is very pale in the winter and I don't tend to go out much in the summer.
                                                                  2 - In the summer months my skin tends to go slightly darker and I find that number 2 suits my skin tone perfectly when it is slightly sunnier.

I hope this helps some of you, and leave in the comments below your personal opinion, I would love to read them. Also if you have any suggestions of other great concealers or any makeup product I would love to read all about them also :)

Toodle pip (I'll let myself out...)

YouTube videos that make me laugh 2

Hi everyone, so back in January I made a blog post called Youtube Videos that make me Laugh 1 and lots of you enjoyed it so I thought I would do another one for you today :)
Btw there are a lot of them and could've been more!


 this is so funny, it is a collaboration between Krave and Phan and i have watched it so many times

they get so tipsy that it is hilarious, love the other video they did on Hannah's channel as well

sometimes I actually wonder how they are still friends after all the awkward moments they have had together ;)

 4.50 is when the funny stuff starts; Hannah and Troye's reaction to the birth and the convo before hand is my life. Also go watch the video they where watching, that is hilarious also :)

this video is co cute! Also I met Jim at Summer in the City and he is hella nice :)

this video is so funny i have watched it a million times over, so watch it and subscribe to Marcus and lets make this video his most thumbed up video of all time. Okay? Okay.

i was screaming out the answers to all of the questions and Troye's reaction when they don't know an answer is one of the cutest and funniest things ever

Marcus and Niomi's reaction when a wasp comes into their room and how they get rid of it is so funny my sides hurt from laughing so hard :)

omg when Dan and Phil didn't get Connor in the first nano-second I was literally getting ready to cut a b*tch ;)

They don't kiss on camera but they touch each others genitals?? Confusing relationship between Zalfie and their viewers ;)

the things I learned about Tyler in this video are honestly not that surprising...

Tyler's reaction to Tyde's questions are hilarious

Troye was a very interesting 15 year old, I'll just say that

this is so cute and funny :)

All the Youtuber Whispers are great but this one if my favourite!

I think Jack and Louise are my new OTP ;) (Just kidding Troyler 5eva guys!)

All the Auguest Videos on youtube.com/tyleroakley are amazing and you have to go watch them now! Very excited for the new Troyler video!

Hope you guys love these videos as much as I do!

Amazing Spiderman 2 Review

Hi everyone, so today I am going to the cinema to see the Amazing Spiderman 2 so I thought that I would do a review for you all :)
I have to say this before I go on, the film was amazing! (Pun intended ;) ) however, the plot twist was so sad that I actually cried for the last 15 minutes of the film.
The movie itself was well structured and was easy to follow even if you have never watched a Spiderman film before (although it is useful to watch the first one beforehand).
The acting was really good and you can tell that they put a lot of work into it, especially the stunts and the outfits fit the characters' personalities perfectly.
If you didn't know what it is about, it is about Electroman (someting like that) who wants to end Spiderman so he can be the one who is loved (I actually feel quite sorry for him).
Not to try and give lots away but the Green Goblin comes into the film at the end, creating the perfect cliffhanger for another film.
Would definitely recommend you watch it and would rate it a 4/5 as the sad ending really hit me hard :'(

What I wore:
Boyfriend Cardigan - New Look, Top - Kylie at M&Co, Jeans - Select, Bracelet - New Look, Nail Polish - NYC Green Macaroon with Barry M white crackle glaze

Interviews

Hi everyone, So today I am going to a sixth form interview at one of my local grammar schools and once I have done the interview I will tell you all what my experience was and what sort of questions they asked so you may be as prepared as you can be. See you on the other side!
Okay, so it is the next day and I thought I would give you some of my tips for doing a good interview:

  1. Stay positive - interviewers don't like it if you are negative, talk about your achievements and favourite subjects, not about the ones you hate.
  2. Keep talking - obviously not too much but don't stay silent until spoken to.
  3. Don't be afraid to show off - you want to sell that you will be perfect for this job/school so don't be shy to tell them about your achievements or skills.
  4. Have a good handshake - this may sound stupid but if your handshake is confident and strong it will give the interviewer a good first impression.
  5. Be honest - this also may sound a bit strange but some people lie about things they have done to hopefully seem more appropriate but I am telling you now; it will come back to bite your ass later!
Hope some of you found this useful, there are obviously a lot more tips and over the years I will probably add to this post but at the moment, this is what I found the main things.

Fanfiction

Hi everyone, So after entering the deep, dark world of Tumblr I also decided to check out wattpad.
And I am ashamed to say that I am hooked, it is now my favourite way to procrastinate and I spend every evening on it, reading new fanfictions and every time someone updates I do a weird internal squeal which makes me sound like a dying pig but there you go ;)
Wattpad is an amazing site that not only does fanfiction but great for up-and-coming authors to publish their books and get recognised. However, I personally just use it for fanfiction which basically consists of about 50 troyler fanfics, 3 zalfie fanfics, 6 niall horan fanfics and 2 connor franta fanfics, because if I hadn't told you already; I love (not literally) Connor Franta :D
I mean just look at those eyes:
Anyway... There are many different types of fanfiction;
  1. Smut - not my fav and it can be as detailed as you want. It is basically where the author describes the sexual intercourse in as much detail as they want. I personally don't read it but I know some who do.
  2. Fluff - my personal favourite which basically refers to parts containing very light-hearted romance. It's purpose is to provide the reader with a warm fluffy good feeling, usually by depicting two of their favorite characters either as a couple, or in situations that may lead them to being closer to one another.
  3. Angst - Sad, Tragic, Upsetting fanfictions which I frankly don't read because they make me so sad I end up crying so much I get headaches but you might like it :)
  4. Crack - fanfics that are intentionally unbelievable and insane; often humorous which are usually short, one-shot stories.
  5. One-shot stories - to put it simply, a one chapter story. I prefer long ones that are 50+ chapter but sometimes it's nice to read a short, snappy one.
Hope this helped some of you
Byeeee!

Shipping

Hi everyone, So unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years and you have never heard of Tumblr you will probably have heard the term 'shipping'.
If you haven't, where have you been? But for any of you dinosaurs who are confused as to what I am going on about then in the words of the Harries twins, "when you get two people and you put them together" what Jack means here is that you like the idea of them being in a relationship.
If you love tumblr or you are just an ultra-cool person you will have also heard of OTP which means One True Pair which is the one combination of people that does it the most for you.
For example, I always cheat when people ask me who my OTP is because I have two; Zalfie (Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes) and Troyler (Tyler Oakley and Troye Sivan "Mellet").
NB: If you ever insult someone's OTP, it's your fault if they kill you.

My favourite ways to keep up with my OTP feels are tumblr, twitter and my fav; wattpad (which is basically a fanfiction website).
Hope you enjoyed this blog post and leave in the comments below: who is your OTP?

NCS

 Hi everyone, So this summer I have come of age where I can go to this summer camp sort of thing called NCS, which stands for National Citizen Service.
It is for 16-17 year olds and you go away for 3 weeks to do loads of activities like archery, rock climbing and doing stuff for your local community and at the end of the "course" you get a certificate signed by the Prime Minister.
If any of you are interested in doing this the link will be here so go check it out!
This saturday there is an NCS  live gig that Marcus Butler and Joe Sugg are presenting so I will do a review of that next week if any of you want to go to that next year.
Also, once I have done the summer camp I will also do a proper review of that to give you guys a better idea of what it is and what you will gain from it.
All I can say at this point is that I am super excited to go and it will be an amazing experience that I can put on my CV.
Hope you're all enjoying you first week back to school and blog soon!

Youtube

Hi everyone, So I have thought long and hard about this and I have decided that I would like to create my own youtube channel and upload weekly videos (a vlogger/youtuber) and I would just like to take this moment to ask you if you could kindly comment, on this blog post, a) if you think it is a good idea and b) what sort of videos you think I should do.
It has been a dream of mine for a few years now to become a youtuber and I would love to make that dream into a reality in 2014.
Thank you and don't forget to comment!

Obsessive?

Hi everyone,
I am going to use this blog post as a way to rave about this new youtuber that I have found called Hannah Maggs. She is amazing and knows everything there is to know about beauty (poss a slight exaggeration ;) ) and has just given birth to a beautiful little boy.
I love that we got to follow her on her journey being pregnant and she has given me a lot of tips as to how to apply make up.
One day, my dad caught me watching on of her videos to do with pregnancy and my dad threw a fit going "Oh my god you're pregnant!" Ummm, no dad! It took my mum and I a while to calm him down enough for me to explain that she is just one of the youtubers I like watching and that I am definately not pregnant!
I really recommend watching her although she is very realistic about pregnancy and doesn't hold back any details but if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant or you just want to watch them as she makes awesome beauty videos as well!
Here are her links:

Summer In the City

Hi everyone,
I have exciting news! Well for me but not necasseraly for you.
I AM GOING TO SUMMER IN THE CITY!
If you don't know what this is; have you been living under a rock for the past 6 years?
Basically, summer in the city (sitc) is a convention where you can go and meet your favourite youtubers in a safe and controlled environment.
Last year all but Tyler went you I love and I am hoping that everyone will be there this year as the tickets where a bit pricey but well worth it!
Alfie recently tweeted that he might not be able to make it which I am slightly disappointed about but I am sure he has his reasons.
I have my ticket for Sunday 10th August and I am super excited!
Are you going? If so, tell me in the comments which day :)
Summer In The City
Bye guys

How to: Procrastinate like a pro

Hi everyone,
Ok, so it is nearing mocks for some of us and then the real exams so I thought rather than doing a blog about revision (which I completely fail at) I thought I would a blog at how to procrasinate (if you don't want to procrastinate, then do the opposite of all I am about to say).
WARNING: This video is in no way helpful if you want to stop procrastinating or succeed at anything in life.
Enjoy!
  1. Hit the snooze button until nearly 1pm, then it's time for lunch!
  2. Eat everything in the house, then go out and buy some more.
  3. Check your email.
  4. Go to the toilet.
  5. Have an extra long shower or bath to "relax yourself from the stress of revision".
  6. Create a revision timetable; some think this helps revise but I just think it is an excuse to use lots of different coloured pens and create a pretty table that you most likely will not keep to.
  7. Organise your desktop, maybe sort your coloured pens into colour order.
  8. Get all your cushions and beanbags and make a huge bed to just lie on, on the floor. Or maybe you could make a den out of old bed sheets in the living room and say it is to give you som eprvacy and then spend the whole time on tumblr on your phone.
  9. Seek out your favourite DVDs or TV show boxsets and just press play all. 
  10. Make a playlist of all your favourite youtube videos and just have that on in the "background" the whole time.
  11. Go on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and things like that and just do a couple of pages... or twenty.
  12. Get out your wii, DS, playstation or xbox, call your friends and play!
  13. Call your friends; tell your parents it is for help on a section you don't understand then you can both procrastinate together! Alternatively invite them over for a "study session" and just end up chatting the whole time.
  14. Colour co-ordinate your wardrobe by season and type.
  15. Keep hydrated; drink lots of water.
  16. See it is 6pm and decide it is too late to start revising so tell your parents that you will not revise tonight because you're not in the "mood" and there will not revise effectively because you are not "in the zone of revising".
  17. Go outside, enjoy the sunshine and do some exercise... hahahahahahahah
 Hope you found this in know way helpful if you wish to do something productive.
Have fun procrastinating!

What to do when you are Home Alone

Hi everyone,
I was recently home alone so I thought I would do a blog all about what you can do when you are home alone.

  1. 

Raid the cupboards for anything to eat; this usually results in saying there is nothing until you come across the cookie tin and eat it all in one sitting. Oops.
   
     2.
Sit on your comfiest chair and watch endless episodes of friends or your favourite movies.
 
     3.
Make a den on your sofa out of cushions and duvets and have a comfy day; I would recommend having your laptop, tv remote, phone and hot water bottle (if it is cold that day) and no more than arms reach so you need use no energy all day.
 
    4.

Put your music as loud as you want and belt out your favs at the top of your voice.

    5.
Get your homework done...;haha lol, yeah right. ;)

    6.
Go on the computer; WARNING: this may result in you going on tumblr for 5 minutes then looking at the clock and realising it is 6pm and you have done nothing else all day...

     7.
Be helpful; do the washing, clean your bedroom, make dinner. Yeah right, like any of us would be helpful, but it is an option.

     8.
Don't be bored, maybe call your friend and invite her round; although I would recommend telling your parents you are going to invite them round first as they may not like to come back and see someone else in their house.

     9.
Go shopping; this is my favourite as you can go in the shops you want and buy make up without your mum saying "that lipstick is far to bright for someone your age" then when you wear it tell her she was there when you bought it and she was fine with it then. I have done that countless times ;)
 
 
    10.
Make a list of all the things you would do if you one a million pounds.

     11.
Practice your favourite make up look or what you are wearing out next weekend to perfect the look. I tend to practice eye liner as I fail completely at it...

    12.
Stare out your window at passers-by rating them on clothes, make up and things like that; whilst doing this you can think up something productive to do.
 
TIP: don't do anything stupid like have a party as you want to show your parents that they can leave you on your own. If you act irresponsibly you may not be allowed to be home alone again.
Hope you have fun home alone

My Daily Skincare Routine

Hi everyone,
Skincare is a very important part of any teenagers daily routine so I thought I would show you all what I use and what I think of them.
WARNING: these products work for me but they may not work for you, so try experimenting with different brands until you find the ones that suit you.
MY SKIN TYPE: oily T section and dry cheeks.
At first your skin breaks out a lot of spots, don't worry, this is usual but keep using it morning and evening every day and it will start to come into affect properly after a few days.
80 Cotton Wool Pads by Sainsburys Basics
The first item is essential because you can't exactly pour cleanser onto your face... I prefer this to cotton woll buds because these are easier to use. You can get them anywhere and I just use Sainsbury's or Asda basics as they work just as well as the more expensive ones.
 
Simple Kind to Skin purifying Cleansing Lotion
Most of my skincare products are from the Simple range (as you will soon learn) and I love the Kind To Skin range as it does not affect sensitive skin and has lots of lovely minerals in that are great for your skin. It dries quickly than other brands and is easy to put on.
You put cleanser on in big circular motions all around you face to clean your skin from any impurities you may have.
I used to use the Clean&Clear cleanser but it just smelt of chemicals and never really left my skin feeling clean, well it did, but I definetly feel like my face is clean and not tight since switching to Simple.
 
Simple Kind to Skin soothing Facial Toner
Toner is a very important part of any skincare routine as it helps smooth any rough patches so that your skin doesn't only look nice, but feels nice as well.
Use with the cotton pads it swift upwards movements to get the best results.
 I never used to do this step until last summer and since then I have noticed a massive difference in the texture of my skin (sounds wierd but I can't think of another way to put it).
 
Simple Kind to Skin hydrating Light Moisturiser
This step is essential, especially for dry skin as it hydrates the face to help to become smooth with no redness or flaky skin. This one is perfect for oily skin too because it has no oils in that would make you skin even more oily. Basically, check what skin type the product you want to buy is designed for and then make an informed decision as to what would be best for you; don't just use what your friend or favourite celebrity uses, it might not work as well for you.
I used to use the Clean&Clear moisturiser which worked just as well for me but I decided to give this one a go as all my other Simple products where amazing and I decided that since they were roughly the same price and worked the same, that I would stick with one brand for everything where possible.



Tea Tree Blemish Gel by The Body Shop

I love this Blemish Gel as it helps to reduce the amount of spots on your face and reduces the redness. I use this product after my moisturser as I have done since I was about 10 and it works like magic. I go through it quite quickly but it is really cheap and quite a small bottle so it is expected.
To get the best results just dap onto your spots and wait for the "magic" to happen :)
Vaseline lip therapy
I use this on my lips to help them look and feel soft and moist. Burts Bees and Baby Lips also do the job well but I use vaseline the most for no reason, i just happen to ;)
 
Hand Food by Soap&Glory
Next, I use this hand cream to leave my hands not only smells amazing but feels amazingly soft as well. I use the amount the size of a green pea and massage it into my hands morning and evening to keep my hands healthy.
Simple Clear Skin oil balancing Exfoliating Wash
I use the exfoliating wash in the shower by putting a small dollap in my hand and massaging into my skin. I leave it for a couple of minutes then wash off with clean water. I do this in the shower as I shower 3 times a week and this is about the amount of times you should use this product; you should not use it everyday so I use the shower as I reminder to use the facial wash.
I used to use the Clean&Clear facial wash but it left my skin really dry and flaky which was not the effect I was going for and since I moved to Simple it has helped to removes bumps and spots to leave my skin feeling hydrated and smooth.
 

Simple Kind to Skin cleansing facial wipes

I use the cleansing wipes in the evening to remove my makeup before I go to bed as you should never sleep with makeup on. It freshens my face and removes my makeup so it is a two-in-one really and it is super cheap and lasts a long time.
I use this product all around my face and neck in big circular motions, removing makeup and dead skin as I go.

Hope you are all having a fantastic 2014 and found this helpful

Review: Frozen

Hi everyone,
My friend Laura and I went to see Frozen during the Christmas holidays and it was so good I thought I just had to do a review of it.
OK, so the first thing I would like to point out is that the songs where amazing in this film, like every disney film there are songs and like all disney songs they were all catchy and related to freedom and love and stuff.
On Rotten Tomato it was given 4.3 stars by the audience and 7.8/10 by film critics which is super awesome.
By the way, you will come to see that my vocabulary is very restricted ;)
If you don't know what Frozen is about it is about two sisters called Elsa and Anna. Elsa has magical powers to do with ice and winter but to protect Anna she is kept from this information. The movie is about Elsa becoming queen and accidently sending the whole kingdom into an eternal winter so Anna and her friend must find Elsa and convince her to come back and help them get rid of the winter.
 Like every film there is a "baddie" but I won't tell you who that is as it is a huge shock and I will leave you to find out by yourself.
I hope this was useful and I inspired you to go and watch the film!

Youtube Videos that make me laugh 1

Hi everyone,
So as you would know if you have read some of my earlier blogs is that I love watching youtubers and hope to become one someday as well as write this blog.
It is because of this that I love watching youtubers and find them hilarious so I thought I would start a series called: Youtube Videos that make me laugh.
So here we go: here are some youtuber videos that I am currently finding funny:
This is funny because Britain and the US are so different and the banter arguements they have are very amusing.
There is a seond part to this and it is funny because so much of it is true and I don't understand it either.
This isn't funny but it is an amazing video which I know use to base my makeup look for school so I would recommend any young girls looking for a school look to watch this video.
This is sooo funny!
I was nearly pissing myself whilst watching this!
The charades are so bad that it is very comical.
I love this series and I recommend you watch the ALL! :)
This is really funny and I watch nearly everyweek, sometimes twice ;)
This is soo cute and really funny!

That is just some of it but I think I have left you with enough to watch for now ;)

What I got for Christmas

Hi everyone,
Sorry it is a bit late but I am finally doing my 'What I got for Christmas' blog.

DVDs
I got this from my grandparents and it is all 10 seasons of friends as well as a colourful episode guide. It is well worth the money and has over 80 hours of Friends! If you have been living under a rock and don't know what friends is then it is 6 friends hanging out in a café.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a film I had not watched until I got it for christmas and I have to be honest; I found it a little boring most of the time and I much prefer the book.

I watched Jack the Giant Slayer in the cinema and it is an amazing film so I just had to ask for it for Christmas. It is action packed but also romantic in places which is the best of both worlds for me.

Despicable Me 2 may be aimed at children but I am obsessed with the minions so had to get this film, it is very funny and a film for all the family. It is also quite cheap and you can buy it in most stores.

Beautiful Creatures is hard to define as it seems like a romance film to me but I think it has a bit of action as well... This film is based on a book and I hope they put the rest of them into films as well as I did throughly enjoy the film.

Warm Bodies is again very actiony but also romantic; it is about a zombie who falls in love with a human and at the end of the movie (SPOILER) turns back into a human.

The Merlin boxset is all 5 seasons (65 episodes) as well as great bonus features. I got this christmas day from my brother and am now on season 4 because I am so addicted I don't think I am going to get any homework done...


The Twilight Boxset has all 5 movies in and although they aren't my favourite films I still like to watch them from time to time so it is nice to have them on DVD for sleepovers or a day in bed during study leave ;)


Feet (this may sound like a wierd one)

These socks are so soft and very comfy and perfect for wearing round the house on a lazy day, I don't know where they are from but I have 5 pairs of socks like these now and I definately encourage you to invest in some as they are really cheap.

These slippers are from Next but they have a fleecy lining as well as a cute tartan pattern with wooden buttons and a bow which is perfect for the winter to keep you feet warm during the cold, winter months.

Food

Mikado sticks taste sort of like chocolate fingers as I think they come from some Asian country but they are really nice, although I'm not a big fan of the end of the stick where it is not covered in chocolate...

These took me ages to eat as there was so much in there. These are the perfect christmas gift and taste amazing and there is not fuss of breaking a normal chocolate orange where it goes everywhere.

I was not a fan of these because most of them had nuts in and as my nan got me these she should know that I don't like nuts but it doesn't matter as it was the thought that counts and my brother (who I gave them to) said they where very nice.


Beauty




Soag&Glory is an amazing brand and this product leaves my hands feeling really soft and it smells amazing! Cheap and available in drug stores (eg. Boots and Superdrug).

I love Batiste so much that my mum bought me 3 bottles for christmas. My review on Batiste is here.

My school friend Emily bought me this for christmas and each one smells really nice, perfect for every day use and really girly. A must for any one who wants to smell lovely :)

This is the Avon foundation and is the first proper foundation I ever had a few years ago but at £12 I can't afford it so my parents bought me one for christmas as it gives amazing coverage and has minerals in so doesn't damage the skin.

This is Eternal Magic and is an Avon perfume and smells amazing. It is really cheap so anyone can afford it.

Music
This is an amazing CD and I love all the music on it. However, most of the songs are about boys which can get a bit boring after a while but I love them all the same.

Stars Dance is an awesome album with such a varitey from R&B to ballads which are amazing and I get up and dance in my own horrific way to each and every one of them ;)

#willpower has many collaborations with well known artists such as Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber and each of the songs are amazing in their own individual way. What I like about this album is that it goes straight into the next song and doesn't have a huge pause imbetween which I find incredibely annoying.

This is the iPod Nano 7th Generation which I got from my parents and it is amazing! I did a full blog post reviewing the item, you can see it here.

These new head phones are amazing with brilliant sound, the only thing I would say is that they don't stay in my ears very well because I have huge ears. However, they did have add-ons to make them fit bigger ears but my mum accidently threw them away.

Other CDs that I ordered from the library to listen to over the Christmas break include: JLS Goodbye, One Direction Midnight Memories and Union J.


Other

I have a Kobo Vox which they first ever colour e-reader and my parents gave me a £10 voucher to spend on a book of my choice. I will do a morew throurough review of the Vox in another blog.

This is a cute penguin that when you turn it on it flashes all different colours which has one of the sucker things so that it can go on your window at christmas time.

So ther you have it; my what I got for christmas tag.
I hope you liked it and gave you some ideas to put on your next christmas list! ;)
