'Happiness can be found in the darkest of places if one remembers to turn on the light'
Hi Guys ππ»
It’s time for another book review.
I want to start doing more of these this year and I think I might try and do a review, on a book I have read, at the end of each month.
So, here is January’s edition and it’s a great start.
Until Next Time,

So, one good thing to come from being ‘locked down’ is that I can finally tick something off my bucket list, something I’ve wanted to do forever… a full Harry Potter marathon. All 8 films, back to back.
Lets do this.
26th April 2020 – 5.15am – 11.45pm
I popped my HP themed, comfy clothes on, made my self a HP themed breakfast π€£ (Yet, I went all in!) And I made sure I had plenty of snacks for the duration, inc homemade flapjack ππ»
I made notes about my favourite parts of each film, as I watched, which I thought I would share here too.
Harry Potter and the Philosphers Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
(Disclaimer: This is my least favourite film, sorry)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
(One of my absolute favourites and the first one me and my twin sister went to see on our won 7 + times #sorrynotsorry)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
(Disclaimer…..)
The award for the worst character goes to…
‘Hate is a strong word, but I really, really, really don’t like you.’ (I also hate you Umbridge)
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt1 & Pt2
They are basically just one REALLY long film because they are the same book.
[FYI: Fave books 1 &7 Fave Films 1, 7 and 4]
Yay! I finally got it done. I’m so chuffed I finally managed to do this. You’ve got to make the most of the situation you are in. Nailed it.
Do you agree with my notes? (Be nice) Or have you got anything to add?
What are your favourite moments from theΒ film?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne π
I’ve really enjoyed Zoe Suggs, ‘Zoella beauty’ ranges for a while now and I got into watching YouTube when I started watching some of her earlier sit down videos, many of which were make up tutorials, so when I saw that she was finally doing a make up collaboration I couldn’t wait to try out some of the pieces.
I love the cute packaging and brunch theme to the whole collection.
Breakfast food is the best food after all!
I chose some of the pieces that I knew I would get a lot of use out of as I haven’t tried any Colour Pop products before so I don’t know what they are like.
I went for the Blusher, Highlighter & one of the liquid eye shadows.
Pressed powder blush ‘Soulmate’
A lovely pink blush.
Pressed powder highlighter ‘Swipe right’
A lovely creamy, gold highlight.
Creme supernova liquid eyeshadow ‘Bellini’
A lovely pinky champagne tone.
They look so pretty on and I have already been using (& loving!) them loads.
I can’t wait for an occasion to wear the eye shadow as it is so pretty. I’m not an every day eyeshadow kind of girl so I’ll be saving this for an occasion.
The highlighter and blusher, on the other hand will, be used daily and are a great addition to an every day make up bag (great staying power, they look good all day)
I also found the prices to be really reasonable too which is great ππ»
Blusher & Highlighter ($8/Β£6) each
Eyeshadow ($7/Β£5.30) each
Thoughts?!?
Until next time,

A new year, a new wishlist and where better to start than with Make up!
These are a mixture of both drug store and High end. I have included a mixture of highlighter, blush, lip, face and eye shadow products as well as some make up brushes that I would like to add to my collection.
I already have some products by some of these brands but others I have seen online, been recommended or I’ve seen on YouTube videos and have liked the look of them.
Lets go…
Sleek Make up I-Divine ‘Storm’ eye shadow palette. I love the colours in this palette, especially the shimmery tones, the pink and burgundy shimmers at the top and the navy blue, grey and emerald shimmers at the bottom are my particular favorites
Sleek I Divine ‘Vintage Romance’ eye shadow palette. Most of these shades are again shimmery, which I definitely prefer. The gold and bronzy tones at the top and the pinky purples are gorgeous.
Kylie Jenner ‘Burgundy eye shadow Palette’. What to say about this? Its just beautiful. The colours in this are so pretty. I love the mixture of matte and shimmer tones, perfect for day or night looks.
The HUDA Beauty ‘Rose gold’ palette is just gorgeous! The mix of shades, mattes and shimmers makes this palette so pretty and perfect for creating lots of different make up looks. The gold, pinky tones and browns are so lovely.
Maybelline New York single eye shadow in the shade ‘Copper fizz’. I love copper/browny/gold tones and this one is so pretty.
Maybelline ‘Lash Sensational’ Full fan effect mascara. I’m a bit of a mascara novice so I don’t really know much about which ones are good or not. Zoella recommends this mascara often on her videos and my sister also wears this and highly recommends it too.
Kat Von D ‘Lock it’ Translucent setting powder. I don’t use a setting powder at the moment but I would like to try one as everyone always says how great they finish your make up and make it last all day long. I’ve only heard good things about Kat Von D’s products so I’d love to try one out. They are also really reasonably priced! When I heard her make up was becoming available online at Debenhams I thought it would be really expensive but it isn’t too bad.
BECCA x ‘Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection’ face palette. This palette is so pretty!! It has five shades of highlight and blush to give you the perfect glow. You get a highlighter in the iconic shade ‘Champagne pop’ as well as two other highlighter shades, two mineral blush shades and a luminous blush hue in the shade ‘Rose Spritz’. Highlighter and blush and two of my favorite make up products so this product is perfect for me.
Mac Lipstick in the shade ‘Velvet Teddy’. This is a lovely nude lipstick, I’m more of a pink toned lipstick kinda girl but my sister loves this shade so I gave it a go recently and it grew on me. Its a matte lipstick but it is really moisturizing as you apply it and not drying on your lips. This nude would be a great addition to my lipstick collection.
Kylie Jenner Lipkit in the shade ‘Posie-K’. As I said I love pink toned lip products and I would love to try one of her lip kits as I have only heard good things about them. In her kits you get a matte liquid lipstick and a matching lip liner. I’ve recently discovered lip liner and it makes lip application so much easier and neater and I just adore this colour.
Sleek Make up ‘Power Plump lip crayons’. I really like Sleek products and they are super affordable. I love that these come in a wide variety of shades, a nude, a pink, a dark pink, a coral, a berry, and a red. They aim to make your lips shine and look fuller. I cant wait to try these out, but which one to choose haha!!
On to brushes…
The Real techniques ‘Buffing brush’. After watching some of Sam & Nic’s tutorials over on their channel ‘Pixiwoo’ I really want to purchase one of their buffing brushes. They use this to apply foundation and “Buff” it into the skin to get a flawless look. I usually use a beauty blender but it would be good to have this brush too to get the best finish.
The Real Techniques ‘bronzer brush’. I love this large brush and would like to use this to apply my powder (when I get one!) So these will be a joint purchase. I love the size of this brush too.
and finally…
The Real Techniques ‘Bold Metals’ collection. These brushes are BEAUTIFUL! The silver, gold and copper/rose gold colours are so pretty. I love these and I already really like the Real Techniques brushes, the quality is super, so these would make a lovely addition to my make up brush collection.
I hope you enjoyed this post! I’ll let you know when I get my hands on some of these, and of they love up to my expectations! Maybe I will do a blog post when I have acquired a few of these items π
Whats on your wishlist?
Until next time,
Roseanne π
