My School Morning Routine! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Seeing as it was back to School today ( :( ), I thought I would talk you through my everyday School Morning routine! Here goes...

First I will get up, this can vary between 7:35-7:45. I will go down to have my Breakfast. I always have Coco Pops for Breakfasts but sometimes, if I'm feeling crazy, I will have a Waffle!  I also always have Orange Juice for my Drink, it's very refreshing in the Morning! By the time Breakfast is all eaten and done it will usually be about 7:50. 

I will come back upstairs and get changed into my School uniform. This doesn't take too long because I'm quite a fast changer. I also do my Hair at this point. I always just put my hair up in a Ponytail because 1. It's only School and I really don't care about my Hair and 2. I can't be bothered to do anything else with it. 

At about 8:00 I will go into the Bathroom and clean my Teeth and Wash my Face. I always use my Body Shop Vitamin E Face Wash to Wash my Face and the Body Shop Vitamin E Moisturiser to Moisturise my face as I get such dry skin! Sometimes my Moisturiser changes as I do like to try lots of different ones to see which best suits my skin! 

After I've finished in the Bathroom it's normally about 8:05. I come back into my Room for a bit to make my Bed and check my Phone. I normally check Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. I do this for about 5-10 minutes. 

At 8:15 I will go to the Toilet and then do my last minute things. I will do my Body Spray and Perfume. Then I will do my Concealer (for under eye circles and spots/blemishes), my Eyebrows (using a Mascara) and some Lip Balms/Gloss. 

I will do my a final Brush of my hair (just the Pony tail bit!), check my School bag to make sure I've got everything, put my Coat on if it looks chilly outside, (which is most days recently!), put my Lunch Box and Waterbottle into my School Bag, grab some Chewing Gum and I'm normally out of the Door and off to School between 8:25-8:30. It's never no later than 8:30! 

Hope you enjoyed this Post. I'm going to be writing a Night Time routine soon! If you want a Weekend morning Routine let me know! 

P.S- I always feel bad when I have no pictures in my Post so here is a nice picture for you!! 
Don't you really want to eat that?! YUM!
Byee!:)

Space Girl Bath Bomb Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today's Post is going to be a review on the 'Space Girl' Bath Bomb from Lush! This is my favourite Bath Bomb ever, so I thought I needed a review on it for my Blog! Let's get started! 
As you can see Space Girl is a really pretty Bath Bomb, with an interesting 'Space Ship' shape, with a lovey colour and has little bits of Glitter on it. It is a good and reasonable size, not to big and not to small. It smells lovely and is a really nice, simple Bath Bomb. 
As soon as you put it into the Bath Water it starts fizzing madly, releasing a gorgeous lilacy/purple colour and releasing a beautiful aroma which smells a bit fruity and like 'Parma Violet' sweets! It took a really quick time to fizz, which I didn't mind. Along with the lovely colour and smell, came Popping Candy! On the Lush website the Popping Candy is said to be 'Space Dust' which I think is a really nice idea. The Popping Candy is so loud and there is so much of it. It's like a mini Firework Display in your Bath (without the cool patterns what the Fireworks make in the Sky!) and I always find Popping Candy really exciting in a Bath Bomb. If you like Popping Candy in your Bath Bombs, you will like this! Lush also say that to hear the real effect of the Popping Candy you should put your head under the water, I don't do this, but it surprises me how loud the Popping Candy is with my head above the water so who knows how loud it is with your head under the water! Have you tried putting your head under the water when using this Bath Bomb to hear the Popping Candy?! Let me know in the comments! I'm intrigued! Something I may have to try in the future!
 Just look how pretty the colour of the Water is. It just reminds me of the Galaxy, which is probably the effect Lush were going for, seeing as it is shaped like a Space Ship after all. 

There is a tiny amount of Glitter on top of the Bath Bomb which does not effect you in the Bath, which pleases me. There was a tiny amount of Glitter which you could barely see and did definitely not get stuck to you, which I was so happy about. I like how the Glitter made the Bath Bomb look pretty but was also soooo glad when it didn't get stuck to me after the Bath and stay on for days! 

It says on the Lush website, the main ingredient is 'Grapefruit Oil' which could explain why it has a kind of Fruity/Sweety scent. However, I really love the smell and I love how it lingers on the skin for hours. The Bath Bomb also leaves the Skin feeling fresh and well conditioned. 

Another great thing about it is that it didn't stain my Bath which is always a bonus for me after past experiences of Bath Bombs staining the Bath! Bath Bombs that stain the Bath = A BIG no, no! Bath Bombs that don't stain the Bath = A BIG yes, yes! 

Finally, I love the price! It's £2.10 which I think is an absolute bargain! It's big, it releases a lovely scent, it leaves your skin feeling lovely, it leaves the Bath water a beautiful colour and it has Popping Candy in and not too much Glitter, what more could you possibly ask for?! You could buy 2 of these for the price of one Bubble Bar!

Here is the LINK on the LUSH website for all of you who are interested in buying it! I highly recommend it!!

Thanks for reading and I really hope you enjoyed!

No.7 Stay Perfect Top Coat Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So today I'm going to be reviewing the No.7 Stay Perfect Top Coat Review. I really like this and I've recently just finished it so I think I will definitely repurchase it! Here is the LINK on the Boot's website. It looks like they've changed the packaging as mine looks different! I did buy it a while ago though...

First of all it's very fast drying. If you've done too many coats on your Nails and they've gone a bit thick and taking forever to dry, putting this over the top drys them quicker and stops them from going bad or going all chipped and ruined. 

I also find that it makes my Nails so shiny and gives them a really good finish. It makes them look shiny and bold and gives them some definition which personally I really like. I find when I don't use this Top Coat my Nails always look dull and horrible, but putting this over the top makes them shiny and appealing. It can also set my Nails quite hard so they are less breakable as my Nails always struggle with having Nail Varnish on them regularly as they are so breakable! 

Another thing I really like about this Top Coat is it helps chipping. If I don't put this on my Nails will probably chip 1-2 days after painting, which is so annoying! When I do put this on my Nails, my Nails last a lot longer before chipping. Normally 4-5 days, which I think is good and means you don't have to keep painting your Nails almost everyday! 

I don't know whether to add this bit in or not, because I know I used it for the wrong purpose, because it is a Top Coat, but I would not recommend using it for a base coat. I tried it once thinking 'Top Coat, Base Coat. Does it really matter which ones which?' and I was totally wrong. Using it as a Base Coat made my Nail Varnish not dry or set very well. It made the Nail Varnish very peelable and it was annoying. So don't use it as a Base Coat because it's a Top Coat for a reason!! 

Another annoying thing is that they make the brush too small so I can't reach a quarter of the Nail Varnish at the bottom, which is such a waste! 

It's £6.00 which is quite pricey but I got it for £1.00 because I had one of those '£5.00 No.7 Vouchers', which was very handy so definitely use one of those (if you have one!), if you ever want to buy it in the Future because Boots always seem to give a lot of those out!! 

I hope you found this Review useful and I will see you all tomorrow for a review on another Lush Product, I won't say what it is but it's my favourite Bath Bomb so you can probably now guess if you read my Lush TAG (LINK Here!) Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow!

The Furry Friend TAG! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today's Post is going to be 'The Furry Friend TAG'. Vintagelovehearts requested this so thank you! I have 4 Furry Friends, I have 2 Dogs and 2 Rabbits, so I figured I would answer the questions about all of them. 


1. What is your Furry Friend's name? 
My Dog's are called Lily and Fizzy and my Rabbit's are called Smokey and Fudge. 

2. What kind of Pet is it and what Breed?
My Dog's are Toy Poodles and my Rabbit's are Dwarf Lops! 

3. How long have you had your Pet for?
I've had my Rabbit's since June 2007 (they're Brothers!), Lily since November 2008 and Fizzy since June 2009!

4. How did you get your Pet?
I got my Rabbits's from the Pet Department at a local Garden Centre and my Dog's from Breeders. 

5. How old is your Pet?
My Rabbit's will be 6 on April 18th (nearly their birthday!), Lily is 4 and Fizzy is 4. 

6. What are some quirky things about your Pet's personality?
If you're sat down, Lily will always come and sit next to you as close as possible and then she'll roll over waiting for you to tiggle her belly and Lily sleeps on her back with her Legs in the air. Fizzy will sleep on my Mum's head/pillow! The Rabbits always fight over their Food and when we give them a Carrot they will try and eat each other's, when they both have their own! 

7. What does your Relationship with your Pet mean to you?
I love all my Pet's loads. I consider them part of the Family and hate having to leave the Rabbit's behind when we go on holiday. All my Pet's are so loving towards my family and I don't think I could ever live in a Pet-Free environment. 

8. What are some of your favourite past times with your pet? 
Playing in the Rabbit's pen with them when we get them out in the Garden and stroking them and playing with them! Just playing with my Dogs in the Garden or inside with their toys. 

9. What are knicknames that you call your pet? 
Fizzy: Fizz and Fizzy-Foo 
Lily: Lils, Fatty/Fats (she likes her food!), Lily Langtree and Lily-Lou.
Smokey: Smokes and Smokey-Wokey.
Fudge: Greedy, he also likes his food and Fudgey-Wudgey! 

10. Markings?
Fizzy is just Black all over and Lily is Apricot all over. Fudge is Brown with teeny tiny white Markings and Smokey is white with quite bold Black markings. 

Thanks for reading, now you know a little bit more about my Pets!

New Addition To My Perfume Collection! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)



So if you read my Easter Haul, (Link HERE!) you would have seen that I got a new Perfume for Easter and back in January I did an Perfume Collection, (Link HERE!) with mini reviews on each Perfume, but this was not in it! So I thought, today I would talk about it and give it a little review! 

So the perfume is JLS 'Love' Perfume. I'm a big fan of JLS, so when this Perfume came out in February I was so excited to try and buy it! 

It's very lovely! Firstly I love the bottle. It's PINK! Some people may think it looks tacky but I think it's really cool haha! Pink's is one of my favourite colours so it's nice to look at it on my chest of drawers. 

The smell is beautiful. It's quite sweet and I would say it's probably an 'all year round' scent, but this is just my personal opinion and others may disagree. The smell lingers pretty much all day and I can always smell it on me, which you all know I love! I know when a perfume is good because it will linger all day on your skin and this does, therefore it's good! 

It's also such a reasonable price! Both for the 30ml and 60ml bottles. You don't even need to squirt that much to get a strong smell. I only squirt once on my wrist and neck and that's enough for me! So in the long run, it's going to last you a while. 

Really, really happy with this Perfume. I think you should all go smell it in Boots or the Perfume Store to see if you like it, I'm sure most of you will! Even if you're not a fan of JLS, why not try it anyway?! Here is the LINK on the Boots website for the 30ml one. It's only £14.00  for the 30ml and the 60ml is £20.00...bargain in my opinion!

Hope you enjoyed this Post! Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow.

Cute Presents for Friends! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So a while ago now (back in March!) it was my Friend's birthday and I thought I would show you what I got her as I thought the whole present was really cute! Maybe it will inspire you to get a similar present for your friend's or help you if you're struggling on what to buy for your friend's. 

 This is the overall Present. It's only small little things but is actually a really nice, useful present and the person you're giving it too will probably be really happy with it! 
 First of all buying a box of Maltesers or any other Chocolate is something you can never go wrong with, well unless the person you're buying for doesn't like Chocolate! I'm sure they will eat them all up and be happy with them! You can see this was a while ago because I brought these Chocolates when it was Red Nose Day! 

To go with your box of Chocolates why not give them some Soap and Glory stuff?! Everyone love's a bit of that! Or you could get them some nice shower gel or body lotion to complete the present. I opted for Soap and Glory and I got 3 travel sizes, purely because they look cute haha! I got a body wash and body buff and some of their lovely Hand Cream (review coming soon!). This completes the present because it looks nice, they're useful things to have and I know my friend will get a lot of use out of them!

I hope this has helped you in any way! I gathered that it may have been a bit of a confusing post...sorry! :/ 

Thanks for reading!
