Hi!
Like many other people my age, I like to look good and I've discovered that even at my young age, beauty products can take up a mahoosive chunk of your budget. However, the other day I came across a new range of makeup called MUA, at Superdrug (I live in the UK, so I'm not sure if they have Superdrug elsewhere in the world, sorry :/ ).
Everything in the range costs just £1, which is great if you have a tight budget. The range includes mascaras, eyeliners (both liquid and kohl), lip glosses, lip sticks, eye shadows, eye dusts and much more! However, my favourite MUA product is the nail polishes. They are absolutely gorgeous! They have a fabulous range of colours and, for their cheap price, they are great value for money! I bought two nail polishes, one in Shade 10 and one in Shade 7. Shade 10 is a beautiful pearlescent, neutral, pale gold colour. I wear it to school because it's not too bright and it's very natural, which I like. Shade 7 is the most fabulous pearlescent, copper-red colour. I must admit that I haven't tried Shade 7 yet because I haven't had an occassion to wear it to (my social calender is kind of quiet at the moment).
For some unknown reason, I am still unable to post pictures on my blog, but I know that if you google 'MUA Superdrug', you'll be able to view the nail polishes there.
As a final note, I'd like to say that the colours really are beautiful and the colour that goes onto your nail is exactly the same as the colour in the bottle, unlike some other (more expensive) brands I've tried.
Feel free to drop me a comment.
Peace and Love

I Believe They Call It...Exam Season
Sup!
Exams.
Just the word provokes a sinking, dull, makes-me-want-to-scream-out-loud feeling inside of me. It's not so much the exams that are the problem. It's the revision.
Somewhere, in every British teenagers bedroom, in the midst of a stationery explosion and hiding between piles of textbooks, is a teenager, studying hard for their next exam. They've spent long hours, as have I, going over and over the same sentences, until the words on the page blend and don't even look like words anymore.
Unlike a lot of people my age, I'm pretty organised when it comes to revision. I write up revision timetables and plan my time effectively. My only problem is that I'm never motivated enough to stick to the timetables, schedules and general organisation. All it takes is one tiny distraction, like a knock at the door, and I have to physically drag myself back to my bedroom. Everything, even housework, seems so much more interesting when you're bored out of your mind because of revision.
However, I guess it's a good way to save some money up, seeing as you have no time to go anywhere or do anything.
What do you think?

I Believe They Call It...Fashion Post Friday
Sup!
Everyone knows that this summer it's all about white EVERYTHING! Normally black is the only colour you can get away with wearing head to toe. But this season, there's an exception!
Whilst I was trawling the interweb looking for gorgeous gems for you lovelies, I found this beautiful dress by John Zack for New Look. It is a basic mini dress shape, with a high neckline and lacy sleeves (similar to those seen on Kate Middleton's wedding dress).
For some reason my Blogger won't let me upload photo's today, so I'll copy the links.
JOHN ZACK LACE DRESS, NEW LOOK, £39.99
Here you go: http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/john-zack-lace-dress_227613111
Following the white theme, I also found this gorgeous floral, white tied shirt at New Look. I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it is cute and feminine but not too girly-girly.
FLORAL TIED SHIRT, NEW LOOK, £14.99
Here's the link: http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/shirts-and-blouses/floral-self-tie-shirt_222560510
My final pick of the week is these quirky but cute shoes. They are pretty, patent, lace up brogues (which are very in right now) and have a wedge heel. Perfect for those who aren't so good when it comes to walking in stilettos.
PURPLE WEDGES, URBAN OUTFITTERS, £90.00
That's all for this week's fashion post but watch this space for next weeks update.

I Believe They Call It...Rebecca Black's Favourite Day
Sup!
I bounced out of school at 3:15 this afternoon with the familiar tune of 'Friday' by Rebecca Black resonating in my head (I'm no hater, but her style of music isn't exactly my cup of tea). The sun was shining, the kids were screaming and there were only a couple of gangs of chavs at the school gates. It was beginning to look like a pretty good start to the weekend. For me anyway...
Before I even got to the car where my mum was waiting for me, I saw 3 people who's weekends weren't off to such a jolly start. The first was a girl in Year 8, who must of been standing on a piece of gum for a while, because when she went to walk off, her foot was stuck to the pavement. You know those cartoons you watched when you were a kid? The ones where someone's foot would have gum stuck to the bottom and it was all pink and stretchy? Yeah, it was exactly like that.
The second was a boy in Year 9, who was walking on the other side of the road with his friends. There were a lot of birds hanging around outside school, like always, waiting for everyone to leave so the could pick at the litter. But one must of got tired of waiting because as he took off, he splattered birdpoo right onto this boys head. I laughed out loud...and I mean loud. It was one of the most hilarious things I have seen in my life.
The last one was a boy called Finn, who I recognised because he used to date an old friend of mine. He was riding his bike down the hill opposite my school. Now, I must point out that this hill is particularly steep. Anyway, he was cruising down the hill at top speed and tried to break as he reached the bottom. But the bike didn't break and he went hurtling past the spectating teachers and myself, ending up in a heap in a bush. At first I was in shock and wondered if the Finn was alright, but I just couldn't help the laughter that was bubbling up inside me. It erupted out of my mouth like a noise volcano. Everyone turned and stared at me, so I hurried around the corner and to the car.
By the time I got to the car, I was just one big, giggling mess. I couldn't believe that I had witnessed all of those unlucky (and fairly embarassing) incidents, and made it back to the car alive. I guess I should count my lucky stars...
