Sweet as Candy: Lush Snow Fairy shower gel review

Hey Bees,
Snow Fairy: All 3 sizes

About a month ago, I went to town with the Fam. We happened to pass by a lush shop and my natural instincts kicked in and I automaticcally went in. Now if you've ever been in a Lush shop, as soon as you go in, you're greeted by about 100 different scents and it's a bit overwhelming.  But if you managed to stay within 5 minutes you've survived the most difficult part. I knew the Christmas stock was in so I looked around, hoping to spot a new product to try & then I saw it. On a little self beside "Ponche" and "Rose Jam". It sorta had this glowing lightcoming down onto it. I took one sniff and I had to get it. It was like love at first sniff! Now the low-down:

Product: Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel
Packaging: Simple Lush shower tube, pastel pink colour
Scent: Extremely sweet and smell like Lush lip scrub "Bubblegum"

Good:
  1. With Lush shower gels, they last like forever! So instead of the biggest tube, I got the middle one.
  2. The scent lingers on skin.
  3. Good lather and scent is not as strong when lathered up.
  4.  The scent is sweet but a bit overwhelming                                                                                                                     
Bad:
  1. Price: about £6.50 (euros) is a bit overpriced whether its Lush or not.
  2. Scent can be too sweet for those who do not like sweet scented things
  3. Product is limited edition.
  4. Scent is similar to other products in Lush

So overall I think this product is amazing! Not only is it good for your skin, it makes you smell like a sweet gumdrop.  Rate: 4/5 ( the price is too much)

Would I repurchase? YES!

I hope you guys enjoyed this review! Don't forget to comment, tell your friends and to keep on reading our blog! Have an amazing New Year!

Let's get dramatic! "Marry him if You Dare" KDrama review

Hello kdrama lovers!

Today I'm gonna review the drama Marry Him If You Dare.


Let's start off with the characters.
Well they didn't surprise me all that much. I've honestly seen it all before. You have the girl that wants to change her life around(Na Mi- Rae) , the nice guy who tries to get the girl but obviously doesn't(Park Se-joo), the b!tch(Seo Yoo-kyung) and the jerk who falls in love and some how it changes his whole personality(Kim Shin). Also the chemistry between the characters isn't all that good. Like it wouldn't have killed them to put in a kissing scene (and the dream kiss from episode 3 does not count). I just felt as if she didn't truly love neither guys but there are some really romantic scenes that you wish would happen in your life.

The plot was interesting at the start. The time traveling theme and all seemed to be very appeling but slowly I felt as if the writers forgot why Na Mi-rae came back to the past. If my future self came back to stop me from marrying someone because I'd end up having a miserable life ahead of me, I would listen to the future me!
I was hooked and in love with the drama at first but gradually as it went on, it bored me and I wasn't too pleased with the ending...... it was okay, I guess.

Since I'm already giving out about the drama, I might as well talk about Na Mi-Rae's hair! What in the name of lord were the stylists thinking. The colour nor the style suits her. I would have refused if I was in her shoes. Thank god she changed her hair style half way through the drama.

It might seem as if I hate it but I don't.
There's a few life lessons that you could learn from this drama like...
-Don't mess with faith or love. If it was meant to be, it'll happen.
-In a cruel world, they'll always be a ray of hope.
-Everything happens for a reason.
-Family is important so try to get along with them.
-Always do something for the sake of others.
There could be others which I havn't mentioned.

There's a lot of cute scenes which want to make you asdfghjkl.
The drama does have its pros and its cons but in all fairness it was pretty good.
I'd  rather have watched a drama about what happened if Kim Shin and Na Mi-Rae did end up together. They should make one!

Tell me down in the comment section if you have watched Marry Him If You Dare if so did you like it?

Bye for now xxx

Get your popcorn ready!: Hunger Games Catching Fire Movie Review

Hey guys!
Today i'll be doing a movie review for the new movie (out 21st November 2013) Hunger games: Catching Fire. There are 3 books and im gonna be reviewing the 2nd movie!










First I have to say you do have to watch or even the books before this movie to understand whats going on because it can be confusing.
So the main idea of the movie is that after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return home to District 12. On the day Katniss and Peeta are to start a victory tour of the country, she is visited by President Snow, who explains that when she defied the Capitol by breaking the rules so that she and Peeta both survived the last Hunger Games, she inspired rebellions in districts and now must continue to pretend to be in love with Peeta or her family will be killed along with Gale and Peeta's families.
The first stop of the tour is in District 11, home of Katniss' friend Rue, the 12-year-old who competed in the 74th Hunger Games. Peeta offers to read the speech from a script Effie provides them, but throws it away and voices his thoughts instead. As they leave, a sorrowful Katniss delivers an inspiring speech that causes a man to whistle the tune Katniss used during the 74th Hunger Games to inform Rue she was safe, and provides the three-finger salute of District 12. Everyone follows the man until Peacekeepers shoot him dead, causing Katniss to scream in panic. Fearing for their safety, Haymitch tells Katniss and Peeta they have become a political target. The two youths proceed to visit the other districts. To solve disputes between Katniss and Snow, Peeta proposes to Katniss in public....

Thats all im giving away about the plot, watch the movie to find out what happens;)

I would say this science fiction adventure film is for girls and boys around 12 or older, i would probably rate it 9/10. It was really good,very interesting, kept me entertained and i really enjoyed it:)

The Fault in Our Stars -Book Review






Hello fellow bookworms! Bianca here with a book review. This is our first review on the blog and I'm in love with the plotline and the author.

"Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten." -Back of the book.

Basic plot line
The story starts with Hazel Grace, a 16-year old girl suffering from thyroid cancer stage 4. 
In her Children Support Group, she meets Agustus Waters, an 17-year old amputee. 

My Thoughts: 4/5
I love the storyline and the characters! You can't help, but fall in love with Agustus with his metaphors and romantic gestures. Hazel is a stubborn but honest person who slowly falls in love with Agustus. These two make such a cute couple. This book makes you think about death and how precious life is, a real moral.
I honestly laughed, then I cried and when I was finished I read the whole story again! I wished John Green would make a sequel. This book makes me take an interest in his other books, because if they're as good as The Fault in Our Stars, then count me in!

Would I recommend: Definitely

Who would I recommend: anyone 12+, I think that because those who are a little older would understand the whole story.

Thats all from me. Bye.

The Heirs - KDrama review

Hello drama lovers!
So today i'm gonna tell you a bit about the drama that has me fangirling everytime I think of the name or the characters in it.

 
Characters:
Lee Min Ho as Kim Tan
Park Shin Hye as Cha Eun sang
Kim Woo Bin as Choi Young do
Kang Min Hyuk as Yoon Chan young
Krystal Jung as Lee Bo na
Kim Ji Won as Rachel Yoo
Choi Jin Hyuk as Kim Won
Kang Ha Nael as Lee Hyo shin
Park Hyung Sik as Jo Myung-soo


Lee Min ho and Park Shin Hye >.< SHIP SHIP SHIP


bewfaehbrnavdierbavbfurggritebijkoyn.......okay fangirling session over...for now. See what I mean, only by their names 0.O


It's a about  Cha Eun Sang who comes from a poor family. (why I'm not surprised) She has a mute mum who works as a maid in Jeguk Group's house.
Cha Eun Sang goes to America where she gets into trouble and meets the sexy Kim Tan. She has no place to go so obviously Kim Tan being the sweet sexy beast he is lets her stay in his house with him. Slowly Kim Tan establishes feelings for her but as soon as he does, Cha Eun Sang leaves to go back to Korea with her childhood best friend Yoon Chan Young.
Kim Tan goes back to Korea. While he is there he finds out that the girl thats making him mad in love is living in his house. Turns out that Cha Eun Sang is the daughter of the maid who works there. The perfect chance to make someone fall in love with you right? Living together under the same roof brings people closer but if anyone sees them together it's troble for the both of them espacially since Kim Tan is in an arranged marriage with Rachel Woo, yes we have a bitch in this drama too but on the bright side we have Choi Young Do to complete the love triangle.
He's in love with Cha Eun Sang and Rachel Woo is his future step sister. He may be cold hearted but I can't help but still love his character.
At least Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang are able to see each other at school. Kinda hard tho when you're the new girl and suddenly you're known to be in a relationship with the son of the chairwomen of the school.......or is he?
Kim Tan has ; A half brother Kim woo which he loves but isn't loved back. Kim Woo's mother is died, A step mother and his bilologicly mother who is refeared to as a mistress. He hates being called "son of a mistress" the only person who knew this about him is his ex-best friend Choi Young Do who is now his love rival.
Every character posses a problem or a secret. No one is a friend just connections.



Okay so it may seem like EVERY other kdrama out there but there's something about it that makes it a bit more special then other dramas. *cough*six hots guys*cough* sorry I've got a bit of a cold.

No, really it's amazing if anyone's interested it's out every Wednesday and Thursday.
The acting is wonderful along with the plot and the characters history with each other. BTW everyone in this drama is connected to each other in family/childhood friends type of way.


The Heirs FIGHTING!!!!

See you all next time
