Urm, ok hi! 👋🏼 Putting my midweek breakdown Urm, ok hi! 👋🏼 Putting my midweek breakdown 👀 on pause to let you all know I’ve got two more books to share 📚 (because I’m a millennial who clearly needs some validation) 😅😂
⠀
Let’s get down to business:
⠀
🌸 “Surprise Me” by Sophie Kinsella ⭐️/5
⠀
Honestly I’m so mad I read this, Kinsella books are usually cute and romantic but this one was a bag of shit 🤷🏼‍♀️
⠀
🌸 “Would Like to Meet” by Rachel Winters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
Super cute, charming little romcom about how romcoms work. It’s basically a romcom in a romcom?!! 😂Full of adorable meet cutes and funny one liners BUT the main character is a bit frustrating on how unaware she is😅 probably only the downer for me! 💖
⠀
On to the next 💖
⠀
P.S also showing off my cute V day card from @ameliaellwood cauuuuuse it’s adorable 😍

📖 BOOK REVIEW: “Tweet Cute” by Emma Lord
⠀
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
This was SO cute, I can’t even handle it. 😍A sweet, lighthearted story full of food, twitter and cheesy puns. 🎉
⠀
The characters are super likeable (apart from the v controlling Mum, ew)  and the writing just flowed really well. It’s kind like a present day telling of “You’ve got Mail” but with a few other elements chucked in for good measure. 💖

Beauty Empties: What I tried and tested throughout April

Firstly, I’m so excited to be starting this series. I love beauty but I always get so shy chatting about it as I’m just your average girl trying to find out what products are her magic slipper. I definitely have stored up far too many beauty products over the past few months and I thought this would be a fun way to use what I have and share my honest thoughts.

So lets get to it!

Rimmel London: Lasting Radiance Foundation

As a rule, I like to have at least four different types of foundations to switch between on the regular. I think because every foundation work differently depending on what condition my skin is in. I started using the Rimmel London: Lasting Radiance Foundation last year, pretty soon after it launched. I even wrote a blog post on my first impression at the time.

This is now one of my favourite foundations to use when the weather is a little warmer, it doesn’t slip and really is long wearing. My skin type is combination and I feel this works well.

NUXE PARIS: Multi Correction Gel Cream

This is not a brand I would usually buy or come across. This was actually from my beauty advent calendar this past Christmas. The best way to use this is first thing in the morning all over the face and neck. This is a really light cream and doesn’t feel too heavy on the face, after a few uses I definitely felt like my face ws smoother.

However, it was too small of a bottle I think to really get a proper feel of the capabilities of the product. I don’t think I would buy again as I just wasn’t amazed.

Dermalogica: Rapid Reveal Peel

If you follow my blog, you should know by now I LOVE Dermalogica, they are just a brand who knows what the best thing is for each skin. The Rapid Reveal Peel is like a Kick start for freshening up your skin. You just pop the peel on your skin and leave it on your skin for 3-7 minutes while it works its magic. It’s a product that tingles on your skin while its working and really warms up your face. It is literally a chemical peel and tightens your face. I would buy this product again but I feel that way about most Dermalogica products, its a brand that just works for me.

EYEKO LONDON: Lash Alert mascara

EYEKO is another product I thought I would give a little try. Out of all my empties this month, this is the most disappointing product. From the get go, it was difficult to apply and actually see an effect taking place. The tub also dried up most of the product. So yeah, as you can imagine – this product is a hard no.

That is everything, all the beauty empties from the month of April. Let me know if you like seeing these sort of posts from me and I’ll make sure to continue this as a monthly feature. Stay safe!

    Interesting to hear you really like the Rimmel one. I used to love Wake Me Up and I saw a lot of people say they didn’t think this one was as good when it replaced it, I need to try it still x

    I love the sound of the foundation. I normally use Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation but I think I’m going to have to give the one you’ve mentioned a go.

    Great review post! Sorry that mascara didn’t work out but glad you found a good foundation. I’m so intrigued by the peel and gel cream. I feel like now is the perfect time for me to up my skincare game!

Second book of 2021 all done ✅ (currently on my fourth - we won’t talk about the third 😫)
⠀
“The Love Square” 💗 by Laura Jane Williams
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
The perfect swoony, sweet read to escape lockdown for a few hours. Didn’t grab me as much as her novel “Our Stop” I do have to admit. (Really recommend you read “Our Stop” if you love a romance! 😍)
⠀
Started off really well, really fast paced but the plot became a bit dragging in some places. Our main gal is not reallllly in a Love Square and I think a lot of needed detail to help the story was just missing??🤷🏼‍♀️ I never really felt like there was this big aha moment. BUT the ending was cute, sweet and redeemed it for me... 😘
