Fancy Friday #4

Hello beautiful people :)
It's that time for another Fancy Friday!
Woot, woot!
My first favourite is a Bath and Body Works candle in the scent Gelato.
I am a massive fan of their candles.
I just love how this makes my room smell.
When it is burning, my room smells so sweet and fruity.
There are times when I'm burning candles and the scent gives me a headache.
But this isn't the case with this one.
The scent isn't too strong.
My second favourite shouldn't be a surprise!
I blogged about this Classic Disney film a few days ago!
You can check it out Here, if you haven't already!
I haven't stopped watching both films.
I love them so much!

I'm not sure why I haven't blogged about this product before.
I've had it for months and I fell in love with it after a week!
It's the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator in very black!
I have very short and straight eyelashes and most of the time I need to use two different mascaras in order for my lashes to be seen. 
This is the first mascara that I've used where I don't have to pair it with another mascara.
I think the formula is perfect, it isn't too dry.
It doesn't clump.
I love the applicator!

This is another product that I've owned for a while.
It's Elf's blush in Twinkle Pink.
I bought this last year whilst on a trip to Florida with my friends.
I didn't wear blush then, I bought it because it was $3 and for the sake of owning blush.
I didn't start wearing this until a few months ago, but I wear it every day now. 
I absolutely love it and it's my go-to blush.
I think the shade of pink is beautiful and I love the gold sparkles in it.
It's gorgeous on, I love the way it looks in the sun.
It gives you a nice colour whilst making you sparkle, slightly. 
Oh and the price is fantastic :)
The next thing that I've been fancy-ing this week is a phone app.
It's called Candy Crush.
I haven't been addicted to this game until this week!
I am constantly playing this game and getting very frustrated because I can't beat a level.
It is the most satisfying feeling when I finish a level that I've been stuck on for a while!
If you don't have this  on your phone already, I suggest you get it!
It's dangerously addicting!
This is my last favourite!
It's Pompeii by Bastille :)
I am in love with the entire Bad Blood album, but this is the first song that I've listened to by them. 
Lately, I've wanted to listen to this song a lot!
This song gets me pumped up and I like waking up to this because it gives me energy to get out of bed.
I love the lyrics and the music.
It makes me really happy.
I love listening to this in the car because it's a great song to jam out too whilst you're driving.

Well that's all for Fancy Friday!
I hope you had a great week :)

Fancy Friday #3

Hello beautiful people :)
Oh look it's Friday already!
These weeks just go by faster and faster!
I apologize for not doing a Fancy Friday last week.
I, somehow, forgot...I think I just didn't have time to blog :(
But on a brighter note, here is this week's favourites :)

My first favourite is Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream.
It is an 8-in-1 Beauty Balm with SPF 30.
I have the medium/deep tint because of my darker complexion.
I bought this a couple weeks ago and have been using it every single day.
I bought this in replace of foundation to see if this would be better for me to wear during the summer.
This product is perfect!
It evens out my face providing the right amount of coverage that I need.
I don't feel oily after applying this.
My skin feels smooth and fresh.
I love this product for the summer because it isn't as heavy as some foundations would be, allowing my skin to breath.

So, if anyone is looking for something to moisturize and provide coverage for your face I would definitely recommend this for the summer.
We've had some pretty hot days here and I don't feel like my face is sweating all my makeup off.
It helps set my makeup whilst protecting my skin from the sun :)
The second product is one that I've had for a while and have just forgotten how much I love it!
It is Aveeno's Positively Radiant Makeup Remover and Cleanser :)
This removes my makeup whilst providing me with smooth and soft skin.
When I put this on to remove my face makeup, it feels so soft.
The foam literally just glides across my face managing to take everything off.
When I rinse all the foam off, my face feels so clean, it's amazing!
It is oil-free, but it doesn't dry out my face after I use it.
My skin just feels smooth!
It does an excellent job at taking off my makeup, taking absolutely everything off :)
 I am obsessed with this next product!
I've heard great things about it, but this just exceeds my expectations!
It's the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in shade 25 Bad to the Bronze.
It's a creme eyeshadow that stays on for literally 24 hours.
You can rub your eyes, roast in the sun or play sports and it still stays on.
This lasts an entire day!
Look at how gorgeous this colour is!
I've only had this for a week, but I use it pretty much every day.
It's just so beautiful!
I wear it by itself because I just love the way it looks.
At my brother's confirmation last weekend I wore it a big darker, but I normally keep it pretty light!
I just love the way it looks in natural light and it's very easy to apply!
I want to buy more, but their colours aren't really neutral.
They are louder and bolder.
But there are a few that have caught my eye, so I'm debating on going back!

This is a fabulous creme shadow and very cheap!
I recommend everyone to try it out because this will not disappoint you!
My fashion favourite this week are my black converse!
My mom got me these in April and I love them!
They are so comfy and go with pretty much every outfit!
I like wearing them with dresses!
I'm working on getting two more pairs in a baby pink and sky blue!
They are a lot comfier than flip flops and my knees don't hurt wearing these.
My knees can be in a lot of pain if I'm walking around for a day in flip flops 
(Dancer problems)
My final favourite is a music one and it is this beautiful girl named Madilyn Bailey.
I love acoustic covers of songs and I'm always eager to find YouTube performers.
Madilyn's cover of this song is amazing, her twist is amazing and very unique.
Her voice is great and pretty rich!
I love a lot of the songs on her channel, so everyone should go and check her out!
She does an amazing cover of I Knew You Were Trouble!
Plus, her hair is awesome!
I wish I could rock that!

Anyways, that is it for this week's favourites :)
I hope you guys liked it!

Fancy Friday #2

Hello beautiful people :)
I hope you are all having a beautiful Friday!
I don't know if it's just me, but these weeks are flying by!
It's crazy to think about how fast this year is going!
Anyways, I'm ready to share with you the things that I've fancied this week :)

My first favourite is this beautiful creation!
Let's all just take a moment to embrace the beauty of this phone case.
I have an obsession with phone cases, I can never have enough.
I'm constantly changing them, but I'll be keeping this one on for a while.
I've been searching for a bedazzled phone case because I am in love with bedazzled things!
I love sparkles and glitter and everything girly!
(Yikes, I wasn't aware of how dirty my screen was...let's ignore that)
I am a very picky person.
When I have something in my head, I must find the product that matches it.
If I don't then I will look until I find it.
So when I wanted a bedazzled case, I knew that had to have pearls and it had to be pink.
Voila, perfection!

I found this case by accident.
I was in the mall, just leaving from a job fair and this caught my eye.
The moment I found it, I fell in love with it!
This is literally me in a phone case.
I couldn't walk away from it, I had to own this. 
This case was $25, which is great considering I saw some very cheap looking ones going for $45...
I love everything about this phone case!
It's beautiful, it's me, it's pink and it's sparkly! 

My next favourite is the Maybelline Baby Lips :)
I've heard so many people rave about this product and I started to wonder if it was really that great.
Everyone loved the EOS lip balms and I think they're awful.
So when I purchased this product, I was very skeptical of it.
I've had this one for about 3 weeks and I have used it every day.
I put it on in the mornings, underneath my lip stick and before I go to bed.
I love love LOVE this lip product.
My lips can get pretty dry and before I started using this product, they were really dry.
But since I've been using this my lips are twenty times better :)
They definitely hydrate them and they're a lot softer.

I don't like how a lot of lip balms feel on my lips and the way they taste if some of it gets into my mouth.
The texture of this balm is very smooth and glides on very easily :)
It also doesn't taste disgusting, so I don't gag when I accidentally eat some.
This product is definitely worth the hype and I recommend everyone to try this out!
This and the Burt's Bees lip balm are definitely my top two favourites.
I've also purchased a tinted lip balm when I bought this one, but I haven't been able to try that one out yet.
But with the results of this clear one, I'm sure I'll love the tinted one as well.

My Final and Music favourite of the week is Demi Lovato's new album titled Demi.
I have been a massive fan of Demi since she's starred in Camp Rock, despite the fact that everyone around me wasn't a fan of her in those movies.
I did enjoy her music more than her acting though, but she's definitely a better actress than majority of the Disney stars today.
Demi has an amazing voice and I could listen to her all day.
Her vocal range is amazing and very impressive.
I love the lyrics to all of her songs.

She is one of my biggest inspirations.
I wish that I had a voice like hers.
What I love the most about Demi is how unique she is.
When she sings you know it's her because her voice and her music are very different from everyone else's.
She seems to be very down to earth and real.
She doesn't try to be anyone but herself.
My respect and admiration for her grew when she went to rehab.
That time must have been really hard for her and the fact that she has come out stronger and better amazes me.
She is an excellent role model to many teenage girls and young women who are struggling.
 This album is my favourite one by her.
The music itself is amazing, but my favourite part are the lyrics.
She is amazing song writer and I love that her songs are personal.
My favourite song on her album is the last song called Warrior.
The lyrics are so strong and powerful.
I love that it shows her growth to becoming a better and stronger woman.
She sings about turning all the pain and hurt that she's experienced into experiences that have made her stronger.
The more I listen to this song, it sounds like she is talking about the media and all the paparazzi and being in the music industry.
She's telling everyone that she can't be hurt anymore.
She's tough and has grown a thicker skin.
She knows that she's experienced a lot, but she's not going to regret anything.
This song is perfect and gives me goosebumps.
The combination of the lyrics and her voice is what makes this song so powerful.
:)

Well that is it for my Fancy Friday :)

I'll talk to you guys soon!
Have a fabulous Friday,

Fancy Friday :)

Hello Beautiful People :)
So today is Friday and I want to start sharing with you the things that I fancy on Friday's.
The things will not follow specific categories, they will just be anything that I have been in love with recently.
I love watching monthly favourites that a lot of my favourite YouTubers do :)
I also believe that this is going to be a lot of fun :)

I'm quite excited for these Fancy Fridays! Yay :)
This week my favourites consist of beauty, reading and face products!
These posts aren't really in depths reviews, so if you have any questions about the things I fancy feel free to leave a comment down below :)
I shall share with you my favourite face products! Wahoo!
Voila! Two lovely products <3
I absolutely love using these products!
The first one is from Bath and Body Works' True Blue Spa line.
It is a supremely smoothing face scrub with apricot and white tea.
This exfoliates the skin leaving it invigorated and extremely smooth.
I have had this product for over a year but have only started using it this January.
It didn't take me long to fall in love with this, it does exactly what it says it's supposed to do.
I already have pretty smooth and clear skin, but after a few uses there was a clear difference.
I use this every morning when I wake up and it wakes my skin up and makes it feel healthy and so smooth.
I literally stand there and stroke my cheeks because they are so smooth after using this.
The smell is also beautiful, it reminds me of tropical places.
It has a really fruity and exotic smell that just pleases your nose whilst you wash your face. 
At the time that I bought it was $13.00, which isn't bad at all.
I definitely recommend this product to everyone, I will definitely be repurchasing this one :)

The second product is Clean and Clear's soothing eye makeup remover.
I have seen one of my favourite YouTubers use this and I thought I would give it a go.
I purchased this about a month ago and I love it.
I'm quite fussy with makeup removers because a lot of them make my skin feel icky afterwards and I really don't like it. 
This one, when you take your eye makeup off your skin doesn't feel oily or greasy! 
It takes it off easily with a cotton pad and all you have to do is rinse your face with warm water to remove whatever is left on your face. 
I wear waterproof eyeliner and some makeup removers that I use can't take off my eyeliner fully, but this one does an excellent job of doing so. 
 The next beauty product that I am going to rave about is one that a lot of bloggers and Youtubers are loving!
I am absolutely in love with L'oreal's Colour Caresse Shine Stains!
There was so much hype about them, I decided to try them out and I love them!
These are my top two most used lip products :)
I plan to expand my colour collection once I get the chance, hehe!
I have here, #184 Rose On and On and #193 Eternally Nude.
The top left is the Rose On and On and the bottom left is the Eternally Nude.
On the right is me swatching the colours for you all :)
To be honest, when I saw the applicator, I wasn't a fan because I typically don't like those type of brushes...but in this case I don't mind at all :)
I love the Rose On and On because it's pretty subtle when you first put it on, but the longer I wear it the colour becomes more visible. 
I tend to reach for the Rose On and On when I want a bit of colour on my lips and then the Eternally Nude when I want to be ore subtle.
These go on quite wet because it's made with 30% water and light hydrating oils.
My lips can become quite dry when I wear lipsticks, but my lips love these glosses.
They don't dry them out at all and I love the way it feels when I'm wearing it.
It's light on my lips and I can feel it hydrating them.
It does say that the colours last up to 6 hours, but that is debatable because before I reach the 6 hour mark, I find myself reapplying this.
So that has to be the only thing I don't agree with, but the colour does last longer than a lot of other lip products :)
This is another product I high recommend for people who may have dry lips!
Finally, the last thing I fancy :)
I love to read and I am definitely a book worm.
I have created myself a summer reading list, which I'm really excited to work through!
This is the first thing on my reading list!
It is Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
It's the first book in a series and I know the movie has already been in theatres.
I'm not that far into the book, but after the first chapter I was hooked.
I love the style of these authors, they do an excellent job of captivating their audience after the first page.
It's about Lena Duchannes who has a power and a family curse. She moves to Gatlin and meets Ethan Wates. Ethan has been dreaming about Lena before he even met her. When they first meet there is a strong and very odd connection between the two of them and Ethan is aware of it. He is desperately trying to figure out what that connection is.
My description of the story line may not be good, but I didn't want to just copy the summary on the back of the book. 
I haven't seen the movie, so I can't compare it to the novel but I will make an effort to watch it once I'm done the book.
What I love most about this book is that whilst I'm reading it, I forget that I'm in my room. I am right in the book.
The characters seem so real, so do their problems and the way the authors write, they make you feel like you are involved with the characters, experiencing the problems with them.
I'm pretty good with remembering that I'm just reading a book, but not with this book.
I can't wait to finish this book and read the rest of the series.

I want to leave you with a quote on the front cover of Beautiful Creatures:
"Some loves are meant to be...Others are cursed."
ooooo, breathing taking.
There's something about this quote that gives me goosebumps.
I love it.

I hope you liked this Fancy Friday post.

Much appreciated :)
