February Favourites

Hello everybody!

Sorry I haven’t been posting for a while BUT I’M BACK!

So today I’m going to be writing about my February Favourites..SO let’s get started.

BEAUTY FAVOURITES:

I have only a few favourites but here it goes. So my first beauty favourite is the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer which I LOVE so much! It’s really hydrating and just makes putting on your base more smoother and looks so much better it’s just amazing and I actually talked more about this in my last blog post so go check that out here: http://fabpickfridays.blogspot.co.uk/. My next beauty favourite is the Rimmel Stay Matte powder, it’s just so good for keeping your makeup looking matte and just making sure your makeup last a whole lot longer. My next favourite is a mascara combo, which is the Maybelline Falsies mascara and the Maybelline Great Lash mascara, these two mascaras together are just amazing they are so good and basically they are just lash heaven. And my last beauty favourite is the Collection cream puffs, which are moisturising lip creams that dry matte and they smell like marshmallows and are my favourite things is the world I just love them and they are only £3!

FASHION FAVOURITES:

My first fashion favourite is a jumper, obviously? It’s so cold right now here in London and I feel like jumpers are such an essential and the ones I’ve been loving are the ones from H&M they are just so comfortable and are just so soft I just love them. My next fashion favourite is some black boots from Dorothy Perkins, they are really good quality and are much loved and I wore them to death and still wear them today they’re just AMAZING. The last sort of fashion favourite is my converse’s, need I say more? They’re just so comfortable and looks so good.

BOOK FAVOURITES:

The first book/trilogy is obviously the Divergent trilogy and I actually did a review on the book and movie so check it out here: fabpickfridays.blogspot.co.uk, but it’s just amazing and I recommend all the books. The next book I recommend is Wonder by R.J. Palacio . This book is such a feel good book and it has a strong message about being happy with yourself and I just loved the main character August and I would recommend it so much, it has the power to change your mind on how you view certain things and I just love it! And the last book I would recommend is Paper Towns by John Green. I don’t like many John Green books but I really did like this book, I had been trying to finish reading this book since last August 2014! I finally finished reading it and loved it, so I would recommend it 100%.

FOOD FAVOURITES:

The first food favourite has to be the Dairy Milk hoppy bunny chocolate bar it’s so good! Its milk chocolate chunks with cute little white chocolate bunnies on it I just love it, it’s so cute and tastes amazing! My next food favourite that I have just recently discovered is Pop tarts in the chocolate flavour obviously, I just love the concept of it and it tastes amazing and I found them at Asda. My last sort of food favourite is probably fish fingers? I mean I’ve always loved them but I just keep having them constantly and they’re just amazing and I really like them. Bit random but oh well?

And that’s it for today guys 

Love you all and I will write soon ..x

Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit

Hello everybody!

So today I’m going to be doing a blog-post on makeup. I’m going to be doing a drugstore makeup starter kit. I’m going to try and recommend two products for each category but I might not be able to so sorry but I wanted to recommend two so that it’s sort of a wider variety? So let’s get started
PRIMER:

So primer is optional, but I feel like it just improves the appearance of your makeup and just makes everything last so much longer so I would always start off with a primer.

So I would recommend the Rimmel Stay Matte primer, it is so awesome and best of all it is only £5.99! It does a really good job at keeping everything matte and just prolonging the stay of your makeup (does that make sense?) and yeah it’s just A LOT more affordable then the other one I’m going to mention, but they basically do the same thing.

The other primer I would recommend is the Baby Skin Pore Eraser from Maybelline. I really like the feel of it on my skin and it is defiantly comparable to the Benefit Porefessional! It is a little bit for expensive then the Stay Matte Primer, and has a little less product but I honestly love it so much and would recommend it, its £7.99 but totally worth the pennies.

BB CREAMS/FOUNDATIONS/CONCEALERS:

So they BB cream’s I would recommend is the Maybelline dream fresh BB cream & the Rimmel Matte BB cream. If you’re looking for a BB cream with a little bit of coverage but something that doesn't cover up your face too much the Maybelline BB cream would be amazing! Honestly it has the same amount of product as a foundation and it lasts ages.. erm yeah. The Rimmel one just gives a lot more coverage, but still is subtle and light on the skin and honestly they are amazing and can I also add that they are only about £8.00 each? I know can you say bargain because I can.

The foundations that I’m going to recommend are a little bit pricey but they are amazing if you’re looking for a bit more coverage. The first one I would recommend is the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, this is AMAZING! It last ages and it’s just really nice on the skin and applies like a dream and it leaves your skin just looking so glowy, but not dewy, and it’s basically awesome and it’s only around the £8.00 mark so defiantly worth it (how many times can I say that? Give me a break). The other foundation I would recommend is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, it’s not technically a foundation but it gives the same amount of coverage but its doesn't conceal everything so you don’t look like you've been plastered with makeup even though you’re wearing a foundation, it just looks like your skin is evened out and looks fresh and it’s about £12.00 I think but defiantly worth it (oh jheez I’m going to keep on saying it sorry)

The two concealers that I’m going to recommend are the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and the Maybelline the Eraser Eye concealer. The collection concealer is a bit more thicker, and I personally don’t use it under the eyes because I find it a bit thick and it does crease a bit, but for spots, blemishes and just little imperfections this concealer is awesome and its only £4.19! The Maybelline the Eraser Eye is a little bit more lighter but the application is amazing it’s so easy to apply and gives a good amount of coverage and I much prefer it to the collection one. Although the Maybelline one is pricey, it’s about £7.99 it just does a lot more than the collection one.

POWDERS/BLUSH/HIGHLIGHT/BRONZER:

So the two powders I would recommend are the Rimmel Stay Matte powder and the Collection Pressed Powder. The Stay Matte is amazing it keeps your makeup on ALL day and it makes your makeup matte and it’s everything you would want in a powder and it’s only £4.00! The other one I would recommend is the Collection one, it does the same thing as the Rimmel one but doesn't last quite as long but it’s still amazing and I think it’s about £1.99!

So the blushes that I would recommend are the sleek blushers and the Beauty UK blushers. The sleek blushers are just a lot more pigmented, and they come in cute little packages and they last FORVER seriously you could never use one up even if you wore it every day of your life it’s just never ending I haven’t even hit pan yet and it was one of the first blushes I purchased! And there are a large range of colors to choose from so check them out and they are just £5.00 so yeah they’re just awesome sauce. And the other blusher I would recommend is the Beauty UK blushers just because again these are really comparable to the sleek ones but just a tiny bit cheaper and they are £3.99 so yeah they’re both amazing and I don’t think I can choose a favorite between the two!

So for bronzer I would recommend the Boujois chocolate bronzer it’s really good and it just makes bronzing up your face a lot easier! It’s just so easy to apply and really good if you’re not Kim Kardashian and not the best at bronzing. I unfortunately don’t have another bronzer to recommend but when I do will let you know! The highlighter I would recommend is the MUA highlighter it’s not to pigmented but it’s really good for a good sort of sheen to the cheeks and you could defiantly build it up!

EYESHADOW/EYE PENCILS/ EYELINER:

The eye shadow pallet I would recommend is the Sleek pallets. They are just so pigmented and just creamy and last so long and, you get 12 shadows for £8.00! They are just amazing and they have such a large variety of eye shadows and they are just amazing! And of course I recommend the MUA one’s because they are awesome for half the price, £4.00!

The eye shadow pencils I would recommend is the Maybelline Chromatics eye liners, they are so creamy and easy to apply and they have a WIDE range of colors and they are just so easy to use and they are the only ones that I buy now! So again I don’t have a second sort of recommendation because I just use the Maybelline one’s so much and yeah they are about £4.50 each.

For eyeliner I again only have one recommendation (sorry), and it’s the Collection Fast Stroke eyeliner. It’s really good for people who struggle to do eyeliner it just makes to 100 times easier and doesn't dry out to quickly and its only £2.00 so yep! You’re welcome

LIPSTICKS/LIP LACQUERS:

The lipsticks I would recommend are the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks. They are amazing and they are just so creamy and pigmented and I love them. My favorite shade has got to be the shade 03, it’s just a lovely nude brown peachy color it’s just so pretty. And they are £5.50!

The lip lacquers I would recommend are the Collection Lip creams. They are so creamy and pigmented and they smell like life and marshmallows. It’s just amazing and they are only £3.00! My favourite shade has to be Cotton Candy which is a pretty pink color.

And yeah guys that’s it for today I wanted to do a long blog post today because unfortunately I can’t because my cousin are coming over and I’m just going to be so busy BUT my friend is going to write Hangout’s part 2 for me and hopefully that will make up for missing one day sorry!

LOVE YOU GUYS x

Hangouts Pt1

Hangouts part 1

Hey dudes,
I'm at Fabz house so I was like I'm gonna do the blog post for today!
She said do hangouts so here goes...
At the mo me (you can know me as MR) my sis and my friend (who will be Sam) are just messing about I'm on the iPad, Sam is on the iPhone, Fabz is on some touch-screen laptop. DONT TRY AT ALL (get snacks)
You gotta improvise at the moment whats the point of trying in front of people who see you being an idiot every other day? Like I scared the monkeys out of Sam today just cuz I can and now she's dancing as if she can! Alway have a movie, maybe one you've watched so you don't have to focus you can mess around as well, and maybe one you haven't so when you've had enough of each other you can sit and watch something! E.g we watched Divergent (old) and If I Stay (new)
Make sure that if you have Any other siblings they don't come in contacts with any of your down right weird friends (Sam) cuz this might cause a fight where a 8 yr old beats a 13/14 year old. This is meant to be advice but I feel like it's just me warning you not to have mad friends like me. You don't have to plan games or activities cuz ur friends are probs MAD and don't care as long as there's enough room to mess about and do bad dancing there probs just wandering if they can get away with all the food without getting killed by pillows!!
My idiots also like cussing youtubers cuz they have literally got no life!! Here's a list of there favs (don't worry it's only Samz who thinks this is cool!

If ur any of these don't feel offended she tried to make a vid and we had to take it down after we nearly wet ourselves laughing!!!
Ok now food, Sam loves sweets I like chocolate... So like try and get a mixture but force ur friends to bring something especially if it's the first time they wanna come they gotta pay the fee (: P) also we always have a good supply of sweet and salty popcorn if you really want you should bake but I advise that you buy one of those mix and milk  e.t.c because we tried that and we FLOPPED so I advise that if you burn brownies that you get about 3 cuz believe me you will need it, if not then go onto Fabzz channel and put this link then comment.
Another one of our favourite things is to just take an hour and half to do our own thing like now, occasionally just talking random crap!!

Ok dudes that all (folks) from me and if you want more from me just make a comment at Fabzz channel with an r.e to this link and a comment. Maybe, I'll make my own channel or just...TAKE OVER THIS CHANNEL?!!! jk, hope you like this blog don't care if you don't jk. If I make a blog I'll put a link if it to Fabzz channel

Bye.
IM AWESOME!!!

DIVERGENT REVIEW BOOK+MOVIE

Hello everybody!

Today I have another book review, but also this book has been turned into a movie, so I thought I would do a review for both movie and book!

So of course by the tittle you would have already guessed that I’m going to be doing a review on Divergent! I absolutely love Divergent (both book and movie). I’m going to review the book first because I’m a believer that the books are better than the movies and I always start with the best (personal opinion NO JUDGING plz x).

So Divergent is about a world where the people are divided in to 5 fractions, Erudite (Knowledge), Amity (Kindness), Candor (Honesty), Abnegation (Selflessness) and Dauntless (Fearlessness). Tris finds out that she’s a Divergent, and in this world Divergent’s are threats to the fraction system. When Tris and mysterious Four find out about a plot against Abnegation they are in for a ride (lol).

So the book, where do I start? First of all I loved the characters so much! I really loved the fact that at the beginning of the book Beatrice Prior (Tris) was quite a selfless (of course) and a simple girl but throughout the book Beatrice changes into a smart, strong-willed, direct, sarcastic and funny character. I really liked seeing Beatrice change into another part of herself and I just loved the characters she meets during the story, especially Christina. But of course Four is one of my favorite character in the WHOLE book! At the beginning of the book Four is this mysterious boy who keeps himself to himself, but also no one knows anything about him. Four is such a mysterious character and whilst reading the book you just want to know more and more about him and about his history and sort of his whole life, to be honest. These two characters fall in love, and Four opens up about his past to Tris. I feel like Four is just such a main part in the Divergent trilogy I don’t think I would've read it if he wasn't in it. I felt like when Tris and Four were falling in love, I really liked that it was a slow process, and that it was built with trust which I think is the main reason why everybody loves them. I also loved the fact that before they fell in love they were already sort of friends? But honestly I just loved the story so much and I don’t think there is any fault in this book. Overall I love this book so much, so entertaining and it’s a book which reveals little by little by every chapter you read. I absolutely love this book and recommend it a lot, so worth the read.

Now the movie. I really loved the actor/actress Shailene Woodley (Tris) and Theo James (Four) who I just thought really suited their characters and roles, I loved the way the movie story-line was the same as the book, I know some bits were missing but I just loved the movie so much I didn't even realize! I did actually read the book before I saw the movie, but even then I was ABSOLUTELY hooked and I’m so happy the movie was made (Dramatic I know). The movie did have a few LOL’s but I think the main story was how Tris grew as a person and the sort of adventure that lies ahead of Four and Tris. I also liked the setting of Dauntless and how it was so mysterious and edgy, I really liked the setting of it. Also can I just add how amazing and cool the fighting bits of the movie were, they were honestly the best, and you could see real emotion! I really liked the fighting scene between Tris and Four it was just so intense and I feel like they captured that part really well and I love how that scene ends and Its actually my favorite part of the movie. As for the other characters I loved them as well, to be honest they weren't how I pictured them in my mind but still I loved it and I felt like everyone was committed to their role, which you can defiantly see during the movie. I was actually happy that the movie was a bit longer than usual, because I was so intrigued in the movie I didn't realize that I had been watching it for 2 hours! I actually didn't want the movie to end, but unfortunately it did, I just absolutely loved everything and I might have watched it again but who could blame me? And I would recommend you watch it

Okay guys sorry for the long blog post today but I’m just in love with Divergent and I recommend it SO much so if you haven’t yet watched it, first of all WHY? and second of all, I will leave links below SO that’s it from me today and I hope you enjoyed it and yeah, I’ll write another blog post tomorrow so leave your suggestions below so yeah 

Bye guys LOVE YOU ALL

How To Survive Valentine's Alone

Hello everybody!

So today I’m going to be doing a blog post about Valentine’s Day. I know I know you’re all probably going to think that I’m going to recommend some Valentine’s Day snack or recommend a makeup look BUT I’m not. Instead I’m going to be telling you things you can do if you’re single or you just don’t care. Either way I hope this is useful to you.

Step 1:

Run a bath. I always find baths soothing and just relaxing in general and I think that it’s important to pamper yourself from time to time, or everyday why not? I always like to use bath soaks but you use whatever you’re comfortable with, so that maybe Lush or Zoella beauty whatever you want!

Step 2:

Once you’re out of the bath, put on an onesie and if you don’t own one then just get into some comfortable clothes. You can then apply a facial, because facials are not only soothing for your skin but very nice a relaxing on your face. The one I would use is the Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed facial because not only does it do good for my skin, but it’s a self-heating one so it just feels really nice on the skin. Then once you got your facial on have a bit of dance why not? I normally dance to Lazy Town with Stephanie but whatever you want.

Step 3:

Make a hot beverage. I normally make tea because I just prefer it much more but obviously you can make hot chocolate if you would prefer. Then make a snack to eat, whatever that may be, I usually have Pot Noodles but again whatever you want 

Step 4:

Then you put on a good movie, or a series and watch it. I recommend that you take your facial of at this point because you wouldn’t want the facial to be on your face for more than 10 minutes. I normally watch Divergent even though I’ve seen it 45 billion times I can’t get enough of it, it’s just so awesome and I would just recommend it so much I’m going to be doing a blog post on Divergent so watch out for that sometime soon.

Step 5:

Then do your night routine you know with your night cream and cafaful  (I made up a word yay) And then just get yourself into bed. Now you might not be sleepy at this moment so I would recommend watching some YouTube videos or just going on social media, or what I like to do is read a book. At the minute I’m reading Insurgent and I’m loving it so much cannot wait for the film. I’m trying to read the books before the movies come out but Alliegant is coming out next year and I don’t think I can wait that long to read it #BOOKWORM-PROBLEMS lol but whatever 

Step 6:

Turn of the lights and go to sleep. I don’t think I need to talk you through that one you just lie down and close your eyes and dream, dream of whatever you want in my case it’s Four and chocolate so yeah. BUT breathe whilst sleeping I know, it’s possible 

And yeah guys that is my Survival guide on how to survive Valentine’s Day alone and it’s okay. Valentine’s Day is the reason why ice-cream, movies and series exist so don’t worry.

I’ll write again soon guys bye x Hope you all have a good Valentine’s Day

GIRL ONLINE REVIEW

Hello everybody!

Today I will be doing a blog post on something that is overdue, and that is the Girl Online book review!

I know I’m the last person to do a review, but I actually read the book in January, it was actually my very first read of 2015, but I hadn't come round to doing a review so I’m doing one today :)

So the book is about a teenage girl called Penny, who is 16. Penny’s parents are wedding planners, and they are planning a wedding which is Downtown Abbey themed in New York. They offer to take Penny, and her best friend Elliot joins them as well. When she gets there she falls in love Noah, but Noah has a secret.

So I know there had been a lot of things about the book being ghost written, but I’m going to ignore that and talk more about the ACTUAL book. So Girl Online was an easy read book, mainly because of the writing style I think it was easy to understand, so I think that this book was targeted to much younger readers. I really did like the characters in the story and I really liked how they were described, and the sort of problems captured which are very relate able to teenagers.I really liked the way Noah opens up to Penny and sort of their adventure together which I felt was the main story line, but I felt like them falling in love was such a quick process and I think I would've liked it a bit more if it was a slower process (if that makes any sense) however I loved the little twist at the end and was so relived that it was a happy ending and I just really liked the book. This is a book that I wouldn’t really pick up just because it wasn’t something that I thought was WOW, but overall I really did enjoy the book and I would recommend it, and the book cover is just amazing as well :)

I really did enjoy this book, and if you want more book reviews let me know! That’s all for today I hope this helped you guys out and the book will be linked below so check that out and yeah bye everyone :)

Hair Favorites 2015

Hello everyone!

Today im going to be discussing my favourite hair products, bit random but honestly I’ve found some AMAZING products that have helped my hair grow long and thick, and honestly I would repurchase them 500, 000, 00 times. So I’m going to write about each project in the order which I apply it J SO LETS GET STARTED :D

Step 1:

First I like to use a shampoo. I like to use a natural shampoo that doesn’t have many chemicals in it because I feel like my hair doesn’t like it (yes my hair has feeling NO JUDGING) so the shampoo that I’m going to mention is the GARNIER ULTIMATE BLENDS SLEEK RESTORER shampoo. This shampoo is amazing. It’s so nourishing and its smells so good, BUT also it makes my hair feel so soft and also I find that it makes it easier to straighten my hair which is just a huggggee plus.

Step 2:

I like to then towel-dry my hair (I don’t use conditioner) and apply a bit of the VO5 PLUMP IT UP BLOWDRYING WATER it is sooooo amazing, It makes my hair look so volumised and it’s also a heat defence so it’s the best of both worlds (Hannah Montana reference I know so cool) it’s just amazing I’m not too sure I can say much about a heat defence volumising water because it is literally in the name.

Step 3:

I like to blow dry my hair with my REMMINGTON D3710 Stylist Turbo 2200 Dryer which is amazing and yeah I just love it.

Step 4:

I like to then apply my TRESSEME HEAT DEFENCE Spray and I just love this its amazing (how many times can I say that word but whatever give me a break) it smells so good and I just feel like I keeps my hair protected.

Step 5:

I then straighten my hair with my BABYLISS STRAIGHTNER which is really good (yes I did write amazing but I’m up for a change) it gets hot fast and is just so easy to use J

Step 6:

I then just use a dry shampoo to give a bit of life and freshness (is that a word oh well who uses a dictionary?) and it just makes hair feel so nice a refreshed. I use the HERBAL ESSENCES DRY SHAMPOO which I quite like but I’m not too sure yet.

Thanks sooooooooooooo much for reading my blog post see you all very soon x ALSO leave me some suggestions for some blog post ideas and some dry shampoo recommendations 

Love you all so much
