Smelly Nails!


Revlon's Peach Smoothie Nail Enamel.
This is one of their 'Scented when dry' polishes and smells of peaches!
I actually love this so much, just because the whole of today I have been smelling my nails and kind of looking like a weirdo but who cares! Also.. when you're hungry and smell your nails, it kind of helps with the craving!

Hope you liked this...

Leamington Haul!

We went to Leamington today just on a family day out as it was such lovely weather and I just thought I'd show you the few bits that I picked up today!

 To explain all the book purchases.. whenever spring comes back around, I get back into reading and I finishes the book I was reading - '13 Little Blue Envelopes' this morning, and needed some new reads! 

^^The one pictured above is Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance and looks really good! It was £6.99 and the blurb says: 
"Fans of romance don't need to look any further than the fauxmance brewing between teen idols Charlie Tracker and Fielding Withers-known on their hit TV show as Jenna and Jonah, next-door neighbors flush with the excitement of first love. But it's their off-screen relationship that has helped cement their fame, as passionate fans follow their every PDA. They grace the covers of magazines week after week. Their fan club has chapters all over the country. The only problem is their off-screen romance is one big publicity stunt, and Charlie and Fielding can't stand to be in the same room. Still, it's a great gig, so even when the cameras stop rolling, the show must go on, and on, and on. . . . Until the pesky paparazzi blow their cover, and Charlie and Fielding must disappear to weather the media storm. It's not until they're far off the grid of the Hollywood circuit that they realize that there's more to each of them than shiny hair and a winning smile."
 This one is 'Viola in the Spotlight' and is right up my street as I get really intrigued about anything that involves boarding school as I've always wanted to go! It was £6.99 and This one says:
'Viola Chesterton is back home in her native New York after a year in the Middle-of-Nowhere at boarding school. All Viola wants to do is spend the summer doing with her best friends, Andrew and Caitlin. But she should know by now that things don't always go according to plan and, with Andrew being shipped off to summer camp by his parents and Caitlin swept up in her first real romance, Viola finds herself feeling lonely in her home town for the first time. Once again Viola turns to her love of film and theatre for solace as she helps out backstage at the Broadway show. And when she persuades her roommates from the Prefect Academy to come to New York for the opening night, things finally start to look up for Viola. Seeing her friends again makes Viola realise just how much she's missed them over the summer, and when they leave again to head back to school Viola makes a decision that shocks everyone - including herself - she wants to go back to Prefect too...'
 This one is by the infamous author that wrote 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' - Louise Rennison and is called 'Withering Tights'. I will admit that only picked this one up as it was part of the 3 for 2 offer! But it does sound good and it was £6.99. It says: 
'You know what it's like when you have your first snog, and it feels like a tiny bat banging around in your mouth? Of course you do. So you will love Tallulah Casey as she careers about in her tights. She's your kind of mate'
 This is the one that I'm most excited about! It's called - 'A Royal Match' and sounds extremely girly after we've just had the royal wedding! It was £7.99 and It Says:
'When LA-born Calypso Kelly arrives at the exclusive all-girls British boarding school, St. Augustine's, she's determined to become popular. But when a photo of Calypso kissing England's heir to the throne, Prince Freddie, ends up in the tabloids, it will take quick thinking to save her reputation-and her relationship with the prince.
After the tabloid disaster, Calypso hopes her next term at St. Augustine's will be better. But nothing could be further from the truth. Her archenemy (and culprit of the tabloid disaster) Honey O'Hare is her new dorm mate and her invite to the Annual Euro Royal Bash is nonexistent. Will a flirtation with a hot new sports star from the boys' school ruin her chances with Prince Freddie? Calypso has some work to do if she wants to go from pumpkin to princess in time for the ball.'

 I love sims so so much! I've loved it for so long and have all of the sims 2 discs, now I lost this game - The original sims 3 and couldn't play any of my expansion packs of the sims 3 and sims 2 doesn't work on my macbook so I had no choice what so ever to repurchase this ;)
Lastly, we went to this lovely sweet shop which was so pretty and quaint! I got a mixture of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans - I love the red cherry ones! I also got a wham rip roll and a sour pop lolly.. but i ate that one, shhhhhh! 

Thanks for reading my lovelies! 
Have you been shopping recently? 
What did you do on this bank holiday weekend?!

Do You Really Want To Be Someone Else?

I just watched a video from 'strawberryelectric48' about loving yourself and you are the person that you should be. Now, this sprung idea's into my head about people wanting to be other people. I've had girls on youtube messaging me saying 'I want to look like you, You're So Beautiful' and that's lovely, but you should want to be yourself! Now, I know that all of us want a different bum sometimes or would kill to just be able to tone up our mid-drift! << That's fine because it's not you wanting to be someone else! 

I've learnt to be comfortable with who I am, but I know many people that still want to be someone else. They want to be smarter, thinner, taller, prettier or something else. I'd love to be able help all of you that feel that way and if you ever feel the need to speak to someone that won't judge you and someone that you can just open up to; I'm always here. Just email me at: jdrmakeup@live.com

You're all amazing, each of you in a different way. For all we know.. the next albert einstein could be reading this! The next kate moss! We never know, and that's why, everyone of you is special. We all know and realise that there is some horrible people in the world who don't think this about everyone and they just want to put everyone down because most of the time- they're just jealous! 

Jealousy is the worst trait ever and I think nearly everyone has been jealous of someone once in their life, for whatever reason. This is absolutely fine as long as it's not making you depressed and you're not hurting the person on the other end. 

Never try to be anyone else, always yourself because no one can beat that.

Review: Pix! Bronze Booster


Me and Bronzer used to be best friends, then we fell out and now this Pix! Bronze Booster has revived my love for the bronzing world.



It's a pigmented bronzer and I have it in the colour No.1 Light Bronze and this is a great everyday colour for me. The above picture is not a great representation of the colour what so ever as it looks orange and like it would 'tango' your skin. It does however have a few red undertones to the powder, but still manages to look natural on the skin. It is not matte, but it has no glitter or shimmer particles present in the product, It just manages to give the skin a nice sheen. 

When purchased, It has a raised area in the middle of the powder which reads the brand name - "Pix!'


It has a cute pull out tray underneath the product, which then reveals a small brush very much like the benefit brushes that come with the 'Box Powders'. I usually hate the brushes that come with products but this one I don't mind, no means does this mean that I use it everyday to apply this product to my face, but when on-the-go I don't mind reaching for it and applying the product with this. It is relatively soft and has rounded edges so you don't end up with stripes all over your face!

Overall, I really do like this product. It is a great bronzer, without making me look overly tanned and shimmery! It does a great job at giving me 'that glow' that we all long for, but also manages to not darken my skin or add to the oil that is already present. 

This is priced at £14.50 and available from Boots and Pix! stores in the UK. I Believe that this brand is also available in the US and Canada as the person that recommend this to me, lives over there.

What do you think of the new font and set up? 
I'm liking it!
