What to expect…

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m doing a post about what to expect on my blog in the next few months. So, my birthday is coming up and I have asked for a few beauty products. However, I by accident found the ones my mum had bought me and this is what I saw:

Benefit Rollerlash

Naked Basics 2

Clinique AntiBlemish foundation

Clinique powder

RT powder brush

So, expect lots of reviews for these 🙂 if you want to see a particular one, please leave me a comment because they really brighten up my day 🙂 

Also, I have a crazy busy life at the moment. In the next month I’m having 2 birthday parties, a birthday, my sisters getting married, we break up from school, I go to Paris and the day I get back from Paris (at 11:30pm) I leave for Ireland the day after that.  So I may not be posting as frequently, but I am going to try! Some tips for surviving hectic times in your life:

1. If you have a crazy day where you have so many things to do and remember, make a note (phone or notepad) of everything that’s happening. Put it in chronological order and keep checking it. I found this really helped me 🙂

2. Keep a positive frame of mind. Try not to focus on what’s going to happen, but think about what’s happening today. Live in the present, and enjoy every minute of this craziness because you will miss it when it’s over.

3. Make sure to keep your everyday routines going. Keep good skincare, sleep well, and keep talking to your friends, because they’re going to be the ones enjoying this time of your life with you! 

4. Keep a diary (optional) I decided to do this, because I am a very nostalgic person who loves to read back through my old thoughts. Write down even the little things that don’t seem relevant, because they always bring back the memories more than the huge events.

5. Be happy! Smile because this time of your life is really fun, and you need to sometimes forget everything, and look at your current situation. For me, it was realising how independent I had become. I was taking buses to places that I used to have to go with my mum, and I was making my own decisions, and finally living my own life. 

So, I hope you liked this! Pleeeease leave me comments requesting new posts, because I promise I will do them, no matter how personal.

Thanks for reading, lots of love

Relationships?

Hello my lovely readers, today i’m doing a blog post inspired by a video I just saw on snapchat. As you may know, I am only 13. However, I may have “fallen in love” a couple of times. Now, interpret these stories as you wish, but any hateful comments will be reported. 

1. Boy X

For anonymity reasons, I won’t name these boys, so this one is called X. I met X when I was 3 years old, and we went to school together from the ages of 3-13.  Obviously, it wasn’t love at first sight, but we were good friends for a long time. We were the smart kids in our class, and therefore were made to sit at the back so we didn’t disturb anyone. In about Year 7 I suddenly realised how strong my feelings were for him. We had been best friends for so long, and it felt like a little part of my heart was dedicated to him. However, this is a sad story as he was also madly in love with someone. My best friend/ enemy. I may talk about her more, but we were the classic on and off friends. They dated, and as we were all at boarding school, there were many  “can you stand over there whilst we make out behind this tree” moments. This broke my heart entirely. Eventually he found out how much I liked him, and started treating me really badly. Calling me names, insulting me, but as I was so naïve, I believed we ‘belonged together’ and things would all come together. They didn’t. And now, everyday when I go to school, I know that he is only 4.9 miles away from me, and that is really difficult for me, because it feels like there’s a whole universe between us now.

2. Boy Y

When I moved schools, my new school was across the road from an all boys school (mine is all girls) And, that school was doing a play and they needed some girls to play the female roles. Because I quite like drama, I decided to sign up. I got the part I wanted, and walked over to the boys school for our first rehearsal. When I arrived, I was greeted by a cloud of 15 boys, and only 2 other girls. For an awkward, shy and slightly anxiety prone girl, this was terrifying. Then, the drama teacher called everyone onto the stage, apart from me and Boy Y. We awkwardly exchanged names, with the knowledge that in 5 minutes we were going to have to act madly in love, as our characters were. I instantly knew I liked him, and it escalated from there. Of course, he found out and things went downhill. We had a nice friendship whilst it lasted, as he is a very friendly person, and I’d like to think we’re still on good terms 🙂

So, what are your opinions on these little teen romances? Love or not? Were they worth my tears, or just time lost? My advice to anyone who is in a similar situation, is don’t let your happiness depend on that person. Make sure you keep your friends close, because in the end you might end up crying on their shoulder. Hope you liked this style of post,

Lots of Love, Rosie May xxx

Nars Orgasm Dupe!

hey guys! Sorry for inactivity, exams are killing me. Today I have a massive dupe alert for you, which you may already know about. It is the Sleek Rose Gold Blush.  

  This cost me £4.99 from SuperDrug a while ago, and I really love it! Now, to the proof of this duplication:

Here is a side by side view:

  They are both a classic pink with some grey and brown undertones, and the amazing thing is the gorgeous gold shinmer, making it almost highlighter level shimmery! Swatches:  

obviously the nars blush is more pigmented, but the sleek one can be built up to your preferred level of pigmentation. Even the packaging is the same, a matte black rectangular package with a mirror. Personally, I can’t choose a favourite because they are so identical. Also, I didn’t buy the nars blush it was a gift from my sister!
