So I’ve gone back to these little beauties
with the helping hand of my tresonic.
& I have to say they where defiantly worth the retry.
I used these little beauties when I had just become a teenager and found them to cause me to break out a lot more so I stopped using them and started investigating in other cleanse and found
N07 beautiful skin - which I have to say will be a separate blog post...
but after using N07 for soo long I needed a change up (As they recommend you to change your face products after two years as your skin starts to become prone to the product.)
So I was on the hunt looking for a new face wash.. then one day I came across this little package in boots

| Liz Earle Daily Essentials £45.00 This is the perfect start up kit for anyone looking for a daily essentials face wash, In this little box you get : Cleanse & Polish hot cloth cleaner 100ml - You get a muslin cloth with it This cleanser its nothing like your ordinary clearer that you may have used, this has a creamy finish to it. The consistency is thick like a cream but light at the same time as you apply it. They recommend you to use a hot muslin cloth to wipe away the cleanse & polish however this is where the Twist comes I use my star Tres sonic (like a clarasonic) to wipe away the Cleanse & polish as I found it gives that extra clean finish that the muslin cloth didn't give, I found the Tres Sonic gets to the nitty gritty parts of my face too.. taking away the dead skin.
Instant boost skin tonic 200ml -
I find tit compliments the cleanse& polish perfectly leaving my skin feeling and looking brighter but also balancing out my skin tone especially around my cheeks.
Skin repair moisturise for normal/ combination skin 50ml -
So.. Depending on your skin type you will get a different cream.
The moisturise that I have is the ’normal combination’ & I have to say it’s really good especially if you tend to get little dry patches around the apple of you cheeks and on the tip of your nose.This little pot of magic will work wonders as it simply smooths your skin out, making it fee even targeting and moisturising the dry patches at the same time making your face feel & look healthy. Gentle face exfoliator comes with it 100ml - The is the only one product that I still haven’t come to turns with. Don’t get me wrong it is good little Exfoliator however I have found it to be too creamy making it feel like the cleanse & polish rather than a exfoliator however it has little beads in the exfoliator which doesn’t scratch you skin like other exfoliators do. I wouldnt go out of my way to buy the exfoliator as i felt it didnt take away the nitty gritty dirt on my face leaving it feeling refreshed.. however I believe this little beauty would be perfect for people with sensitive skin though and if your looking for a light gentle exfoliator.
Overall I have to say that I’m glad I went back to these little beauty’s as my skin hasn’t felt this good for a while now.
The combination all together has left my skin feeling refreshed & brightened - Yes I feel like I’m glowing :) As I would get uneven skin tone around my cheeks however this has evened out my skin without me even realising. I defiantly would recommend these beauties to anyone looking for a good skin care routine & at a budget.
Yes it is pricey from you general drugstore products however if you don’t take care of your skin now you’ll regret it later one.
You need good skin underneath for the make up to look good too. |
Some say people come and go.. I say you choose.

Hey Sunshine.. So recently I had been placed in a pickle between friendships (relationships).. Good friends always stay but Hi5 to all those low maintenance friends, the ones you can pick up the phone & carry on the conversation from where you ended. ...I’ve been pushed away by a very good friend of mine (i thought) with the reason of “doing better” & “not having time for them”. When people push you away because they believe you can do better as much as you dont want to let them go they will go.. because they don’t believe they are good enough or deserving enough of you. As much as this may hurt, you have to let them be.. not letting them go but letting them be.. keep pestering them time to time, check up on them, see how they are doing because one day will come that .. they will come back to you. because they left you but you stayed to fight. As that person is fighting there own battle & as much as you may want to be there for them sometimes one has to "do it on there own” I’m a big believe in the fact of whats meant to be will be & if its meant for you.. it'll come back ☁ Therefore when the time is right those friendships will develop again .. sometimes people only come into your life to serve a purpose and once they’ve served it its there time to .. “move on” & I guess thats where you have to be strong in knowing that it’s time to ‘move on’ - oh I We’re supposed to grow old together..? laugh about the old times, cry over soppy films, fight over the littlest things.. I guess thats where we go wrong having these ‘expectations’ of people.. ... You can push me away as much as you want but those walls will fall one day & I will be waiting on the other side.. because walls are built to break Pushing one away doesn’t mean your weak it means your strong enough to push loved ones away.. mostly because You’re Afraid. Its a sense of defence mechanism.. understanding that puts you on the forefront, allowing you to understand why someones pushed you away. That might not be the case all the time but this is what I’ve found. Be strong sunshine.. because if you’ve been put into the situation you have enough strength to get through it.. find the fire within you . |
Hey Sunshine, ☀
So I heard about this little beauty from my cousins who couldn’t stop raving about it so I thought to myself why not put it to the test.
& I did...
The beauty of the Extreme Art Liner Pen is just beyond comprehension, makes you just want to stare at it for ages.
 |
| Extreme Art Liner Pen £18.00 |
Note - The packaging is supper duper cute, I loved the black bubble wrapped envelope = I knew it was safe * my hearts at ease* It’s sophisticated and different.
The excitement when I opened the little package to see this little silver pen was like when a child enters Toys ‘R’ Us for the first time, left goggling.
-- ☀ --
I have to say though the Eyeliner is just as amazing as it looks, as you can see in the photo above the pen is actually like a paint brush and does exactly the job a paint brush does Glides .
It glides easily and effortlessly onto your eyelids - trust me you don’t have to be a pro to use this little bad boy.
I personally was quite surprised how good this eyeliner was after using my cousins for a few days when I came back to using my normal Maybelline liner - Which I have to say was the perfect everyday eyeliner now isn’t. I couldn’t believe the
After using this eyeliner for even a day you will end up buying one
I promise you.
It just
Easily glides on ☑
Its a dark Jet black colour ☑
Waterproof ☑
Long lasting ☑
Don’t have to be a pro to use it ☑
Doesn’t dry up
-- ☀ --
Below I have done swatches of the Extreme Art Liner Pen & my everyday Maybelline liquid liner.
The Maybelline liner is like a felt tip pen & just like all felt tip pens they start to dry up. Just like this
particular liner after a while. Therefore affecting the application of the liner leading it to not applying smoothly causing it to come out patchy & dry, resorting to me having to buy a new one.
However with the AOM liner it doesn’t dry up as the tip is like a paintbrush however it requires cartridges just like ink cartridges yes :) .
The cartridges are £5.50 each however it’s just like buying a new liquid liner when your other liner finishes or dry’s up.
 |
| On the left eye I am wearing the Maybelline liner & on the right eye I’m wearing the AOM liner, You can see the difference in application, how the AOM is a smooth straight line however the Maybeline is slightly uneven, due to AOM is easier it apply.( I find) |
I do believe that if you don’t mind spending the money you’re better off getting the Artist of make up (AOM) Extreme Liquid Liner than purchasing a drugstore brand liquid liner which you will have to replace regardless after a month or so, whereas with the AOM liner all you’re going to have to replace is the cartridge which I still haven’t had to replace after using it daily for the past month.
If you’re willing to buy a new liquid liner after a few months why not just buy the AOM liner & buy the cartridges when need which won’t be so soon.
- I would advice to buy the cartridges when you’re buying the pen though Yes the pen does come with a cartridge already in it, however to save you paying £2.99 for P&P afterwards just buy an extra one anyway’s.

| Friend wearing the Extreme Liner |

| Maybelline liquide liner £5.99 |
This was my everyday liner if you wanted to see it, I still would recommend this little beauty to anyone regardlessly for anyone who's looking for a everyday cheap drugstore liner. It’s good application the only issue i have is that it drys up, so if your happy buying a new one after a couple months go for it.
--☀--
However I’m going to keep on blabbing on about how great this liner is by Zukreat - Artist Of Makeup therefore
I think I should leave you on this high note that its the perfect eyeliner that every girl wish for.
Anyways catch you later Sunshine ☀

Hey Sunshine Cashmere Cat ft Ariana Grande
Is £9,000 tuition fees + expenses worth it for a piece a paper at the end when you’re paying for your materials, accommodation, food.. EVERYTHING?

This song is soo good that I had to do a blog post on it.
So my head is spinning in various thoughts right now, its one of those songs that you forget about everything!
-- ☀ --
So I’ve been lost in a whirl pool lately, just finishing my foundation in Art & Design at UAL
I have a lot of spare time to do a lot of unwanted thinking, putting certain things into prospective that I don’t want to make sense just yet.
- Uni - To go ahead & do a BA in Graphic Design or to go straight into the industry , which is a bit of a gamble. But I guess life about taking risks right?
Something to think about - What do you think?But would I regret it?
Is £9,000 tuition fees + expenses worth it for a piece a paper at the end when you’re paying for your materials, accommodation, food.. EVERYTHING?
Being at Uni what i had learnt so far through my foundation is that Art is all about Self Motivation.No ones going to push you, “YOU are your own motivation”
so... what are we paying for?
Being a design / art student is it not worth going out into the industry and work your way up?
But then there’s drawbacks,
- Getting your foot in the door;
selling yourself (not physical ;) don’t worry ) but personally.
The design industry is so competitive its pot luck, you got to have an outstanding portfolio ( which is something you build over uni - ✓ guess thats the whole point of design uni? Preparing you for the big bad world.. )
What’s your opinion?

Skinny or Whole. Thick or Thin. Little or Large.
Simple generic words that can be phrased wrongly.
"what would you like skinny or whole"- Do you mean whole fat milk or skinny milk?
So I’ve been probnoring (problem ignoring) a lot of things lately & I honestly don’t know why.
Right now in my head I have a cluster
of thoughts that don’t even make sense,
Truth of the matter - I don’t want them to; thats when they become real
Why does one have to always think?
note to self - problem of an overthinking freak (as some would say) ;)
So one thing that has been spinning through my head lately is Eating
- once again we’re back to that stepping stone, I don’t know why but over the past three weeks now I’ve lost total appetite over food, I feel as if I need to be sick.
- note I know its wrong you shouldn’t be making yourself sick and don’t you worry sunshine I haven’t :)
I’m not gonna lie I have had the urge to but I gotta say I’m proud of myself that I haven’t,
& that in itself is a massive hurdle, so if your feeling the same way then give yourself a pat on the shoulder - well done girly for not being sick ☆ you may not see it as a massive thing for not being sick today but it takes one step at a time to accomplish something,
Got to start at the bottom to get to the top.
You’ll have your ups and downs I promise you, I still am.
But it does get better the grass really is greener on the other side.
tell me what you do when you have feeling like these because right now i feel lost, I know this is meant to be a encouraging post and I’m sorry its not.
But i would like to hear your opinion on what you do when you feel low.. I’m at that point at the moment where I just can’t be bother, where i just can’t seem to get anything around my head.
Weird but hey..
Thanks for hearing me out

You are as beautiful as you think you are, You don’t need anyones opinion to tell you other wise, Yes I know the feeling that ‘ It’s different when a guy says it, in comparison to your best friend telling you’I know & you know what you are right.. to an extent! ButDon’t cry over them princess your tiara will fallIts hard when it’s from the people you least expect it from but i guess thats how we learn. Learn to take a step back and allow them to do what they want. Making you as a person stronger.Finding your Inner Beauty
Its formed from three things
That is the
no matter how much makeup you may wear.
A beautiful heart over rules a million pretty facesIf you carry the three main characterists of being a good person keeping positive, your inner beauty will shine through automatically. A personality is something that will develop and evolve for the better for lifetime but beauty is something that will fade it’s temporary.
It’s just a thought thats been smiling in my mind so i thought i would put up a post. Sorry about lack of posts Uni is hectic at the moment.

Confidence
What is this mysterious creature that allows you to do anything?
Aren't we the ones that stop ourselves.. hold ourselves back?
...
Being a girl gone through aneating disorder You tend to lose yourself along the way forgetting what you were, This idea that 'people miss the person you were'
Confidence is something that played a massive part in this situation.. and to be honest to you its something you can fake. It's a perception.. So if you change your preception you can achieve anything you set your mind to... right?
You are the only one that can hold themself back.
It's easier said than done, harder than you think.
I know the pain that words can cause not only what people say but your own mind. The thing's that I've learnt through the years is not to listen to the words, the voices or the thoughts, It's the dark lonely nights where the mind likes to go running and make you chase after it. Learn to switch off, and move away from it.
- I laugh about the situation, but once its said don't allow it to stay in your mind to think about later.
As what I've learnt was no matter how much you'll try to lose weight your natural curve's will always stay. Learn to Love it! ( I know it sounds cheesy but it;s true)
- When I know I'm dwelling on something that isn't going to change, I change the subject I start thinking about things that I have to do.. Things that are actually important.
- Watch a good tv program.. I Suggest SCANDAL! - This topic needs its own post because its just THAT good!
- Take a breather and dance ☁
- Remove yourself from the situation or the place, get out for a bit and get a change of environment
- Music.. it tends to help at times but i find that you tend to listen to certain music depending on the mood your in = so sometimes it doesn't help.

Body to the Shop
My all time favourite foundation that i have been using for... oh gosh 3 pushing it 4 years >.<
eeek that is a long time, don't worry i didn't use the same pot for 3 years ;)
I had just started to recently wear more of this foundation when i went to sixth form (collage)
and one thing i have got to say is that ITS AMAZING!
It's by far my favourite everyday wear foundation, it gives me the perfect coverage (light coverage, covering the spots and dark circles)
As for a everyday wear i don't like having liquid on my face as its not good for the skin.. therefore this foundation was the best bet for me as It's light on the face & doesn't feel like you're wearing anything which is good, also being a 'minerals' foundation it allows your skin to breathe. Which is perfect especially if you're looking for a beginners foundation or even a daily wear and if your a spotty teenager like me :)

Which is perfect especially if you're looking for a beginners foundation or even a daily wear and if your a spotty teenager like me :)
getting breakouts you should wear minimal make up as possible to allow your skin to breathe but girls being girls we get insecure.. therefore i would recomend the mineral foundation as it allows your skin to breathe at the same time.
Another thing that i would say is good about this particular foundation is that Body Shop have a variety of colours for all sorts of skin tones, especially for darker skin such as asian skin, which is something that i find a pain when looking for foundation. Therefore don't worry you'll find your shade :)

| EXTRA VIRGIN MINERALS™ LOOSE POWDER FOUNDATION £15.00 The Price is slightly pricey in comparison to some high street brands, but for a good daily wear foundation i think it's totally worth it, and it lasts a long time too. where to purchase: http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/make-up/face/extra-virgin-minerals-loose-powder-foundation.aspx |
"Just a little bit of you'r heart"
Music is a remedy, an escape.
A getaway to another place, another world.
Some may see it, some would imagine.
When thing's get a little bit too much I find myself in a dark place a place that I once was in somewhere I don't want to find myself again. Yet it is hard, its something you'll not going to get over in A day
A month or
A year..
its a on going battle.
If you ever find yourself in the same situation were things are getting too much, your getting overwhelmed. Walk away.. remove yourself from the situation, the room, the place wherever you are & plug in your headphones and let the music do the rest.
--- ♥ ---
See you later,
It seems rough, and it just doesn't make sense to why its happens - but I'm a big believer of 'everything happens for a reason' if you believe in that, It will help you to have a different prospective to life and the situation
See you later,

IM BACK!
So i've been super busy but here are some snippets of some of the things that i've been tied up in in little boxes for you.
Thanks to Instagram.
So I've passed my driving test
Been tied up with my Art & other A-levels BUT I've finally finished since June 18th, now Im officially a Uni student from September at UAL babby!!

| Acceptance Email |
Also I've been on HOLIDAAAY!! which was pretty exciting which will be in my next post. :)
Keep tuned, and catch you later Sunshine ☼ ☁ ☽
--- ♥ ---
Its that time of year again......
The time for happiness and joy as some say. . Snug around the fireplace with Christmas movies on TV .. (Elf) & the big Tree lighting up the whole room in the back, making everything feel so magical and mystical. How can you deny the Joy?
...
The Joys of Christmas you cant deny it.
Yet when your in a 'shell' you don't seem to care whats around you whats happening or going on.. why is that? To be fairly honest to you I'm still finding out myself. If anything i feel being in my own company is better than being around people where i sit quietly listening to whats going on for a while then shut of & not give a dam pretending to smile as if your there.
Sucks i know right but hey that's the reality of it.- Same goes with Christmas pretending to be sick so you don't have to go to the Aunt house for Family Christmas Dinner and mingle with everyone.. do't get me wrong i love my family, extended family & friends to bits but like i said i would rather be in my bubble where no one will come & try to poke into it.

What would you say is seen more attractive?
Having the 'Perfect' thighs = Stick think, thighs not toughing and you could fit your hands around your thighs with a flattish bum
Or
thighs that touch slightly from the top naturally and having a perky bum
Having the 'Perfect' thighs = Stick think, thighs not toughing and you could fit your hands around your thighs with a flattish bum
Or
thighs that touch slightly from the top naturally and having a perky bum
Which one would you classify to be more attractive?
Me: Being totally honest to you guys i would say that i would rather have a thigh gap and be able to wrap my hands around my thigh and my hands meet in the middle, than have bulky thighs 'toned' as some may say.
I think my fear is someone turning around and saying 'thunder thighs' to me. I strive to have skinny thighs.
What would you say is 'Sexier' being toned or thigh gap?
What would you rather have?
All of us girls have insecurities
i guess this is something that most girls wish for, yet again this is my insecurity every girl is different, i find it funny though how someone who has stick thin legs, the 'Perfect Thigh Gap' wish that they had nice healthy looking thighs, where skinny jeans aren't baggy they want to be able to fill there jeans. But then what is 'Healthy'? - the media portrays one thing but then a general person says another = Mind Fuck
Some are better at hiding it that other's, i think my number one insecurity is not having a thigh gap.
and now a days many girls are worrying about not having a thigh gap and they NEED one.
To be honest to you i feel like i NEED a thigh gap for people/boys to like me, if i don't then who would want to be with thunder thighs.
One of the main issues i face yet to date is trying to aim for that thigh gap, so far the difference that i have realized is that my hip bones are prominent now, and that my thighs had got slightly skinnier from the inside. Yet there still not like how i want them to be... Stick Thin.
Hey,
So I'm new with this 'blogging' concept but i had came across so many blog's online about how to lose weight & what to do so i thought why not start up a blog, about eating disorder the struggles that you face every day, but this blog isn't going to be all about that.I want to make it about general life and the overall struggles girls face and what they can do to face them.
