Dull skies looking over to Falmouth Docks 

We went into Truro to have some lunch and then decided to go for a wonder around Malpus Park and the little lake/pond that's there, again Izaak was getting annoyed with the amount of photographs I was taking :P.

For lunch I had a super yummy pasta with feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes :) best pasta I've had in my life! Then for a little desert we just brought some macaroons and cake from Tesco's. Again both were scrumptious :D. 




Here are a few of the pictures I took at Makpus Lake-

'Non-Blogger' for a while :(

Hey guys, I haven't been very good at posting on here at the minute:(. I'm in my last year of Secondary school, so most of my focus is going on my exams, and the remaining time I have is spent making YouTube videos, or seeing friends, I don't want to make blogging sound less important, it's just that I find it easier making a video, so go check out my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/rosieblindell , as that is where I will mostly be, up until my exams are over.

Onto exams, I imagine my coursework isn't as hard as some, because I chose creative subjects, art, media and the less creative, history. However, I have now realized how difficult it is to keep up with art coursework. Anyway I just wanted to wish anyone who is also nearing exams, I hope you get the grades you want! :) 

See you soon, Rosie xxx

Favourite Drugstore Nail Polishes.

Hey guys :), quick post today on my sall time favourite nail polishes:). My go to nail varnishes will always be MUA's, they are so good and super cheap, I prefur MUA nail polish to Barry M's Gelly polishes! (all prices are from superdrug)


The first 3 polishes are from Barry M, which is quite a popular brand for nail varnishes. Although I didn't get the whole craze about the Gelly nail paint? I mean you can tell because I only have
one (called orange). I found it quite hard to control the paint and it was too thick for me to use. It also chips a lot more than MUA nail polishes. However, I do love the ordinary nail paints by Barry M :) I have my two favourite glitter polishes are, left-diamond glitter £2.99, right-limited edition came with an eye shadow pallette. I love the Rimmel nail polishes aswell, my favourite one for winter is 'Rapid Ruby'-£3.69.ll

Now for my favourites! MUA, these all last really well after two coats :), and they are all £1. I will list the names from left to right. All Nude, Lush Lilac, Amaretto Crush, Bright Pink and Bold Blue. Bellow are also three other MUA polishes from before they got new packaging, the first colour (purple/blue, has no lable) the other colours are Moody Mink and Shade 5.


The Claire's nail polishes don't have names:(, they are all £1.99.

Thanks for reading :)

Birthday Haul

Hi guys, thought I'd show you a few of my favorite presents that I got for my birthday presents, the Primark haul that I uploaded on my YouTube channel was part of my birthday spending, so go and check that out. I am also going to do a LUSH haul over there as well, I'll try to have that up on Monday for you.

So my main present was my camera, I wanted this for taking photos to put on here and record videos for YouTube :) So my parents brought me the Nikon Coolpix P90 :) It's pretty good I think haha :)

Now I'll show you a few random bits that were just like little presents, all the presents from now on, are just from like everyone so family and friends :) 

I love Pot Pourri, it just looks so pretty and makes the room smell so good:) the great thing is, you can buy this in like any big supermarket and places like Wilkinson's and The Range. 
These sharpies are just so cute and colourful, you can buy these in WHSmith, along with the Note Pad. I was never a fan of the Lord of the Rings, until The Hobbit movie, which I must admit is one of the best films I've watched.

 Now for some of the clothing items:), like I said there's also this Primark Haul >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjYg6KbOxg8

There beanies are £4.99 in Newlook and there also buy one get one free! So go get some haha. It has became apparent that I have an obsession with beanies this winter, in the last 2 weeks, I've brought three? Anyway, the jumper is also from Newlook as I got given a £20 gift card, it was on sale for £10 so that was quite good, although I accidentally brought a size 18? when I wanted size 8, but I do like over sized jumpers, so it looks okay:). Socks are also from Newlook, 3 for £4, I thought these socks were so cute.

Beauty products!! So there is going to be a LUSH Haul on it's way to my YouTube channel, which I'll probably just chuck these in anyway, but these products were all sent to me in the post by family :)). There's also a set of four fragrances by benefit, which, oh my god, all smell absolutely delicious!! 

So, the Rudolph face mask (£5.50) smells like tea:), I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure if it's good? But I love how the instructions tell you to wear the red nose thing! It's like jelly or something. I've never tried FUN (£5) either? But it smells delicious and ofcourse it's pink! haha. It says you can use it for like everything as well:). The Snow Fairy shower gel (£3.50 for 100ml) is the best! It smells so good, really sweet like candy and vanilla. I love it as well because it has little specs of purple glitter in it :). 

The benefit fragrances all smell so good? Normally I stick to sweet/fruity smells, but recently I've been exploring more floral and spicy scents, my favorite is the top right one called Under My Spell Noelle, which is the spicy one. But yeah all of them smell so good:) This set costs £29.50.

The Story of Rose, well, smells like Roses haha :) It's quite a musky scent, which again is not what I'd usually go for, but it does smell really nice:) Not sure where this is from so I can't give you a price, sorry :P 

The gift box from lush is called 'Rosie', which obviously is my name, but I like it because they don't sell any other names! Just mine, haha. It costs £15.95, but I'll do a list now of all the products included and how much they cost separately. 
-Rose Jam (Bubble Bar) £3.50
-Rose Queen (Bath Bomb) £2.75
-Amandopondo (Bubble Bar) £2.75
-Ro's Argon Body Conditioner (the gift comes with 100ml, but they only sell 225ml separately and that's £15.95)

So that was some of the stuff I got for my birthday:)) I'm not bragging so don't bother saying I am haha:L. When I upload my Lush Haul, I'll make a blog post on here as well with the link and a picture of all the stuff I got. Also, if you guys have any video requests for me to do, please comment and let me know!!

Hello everyone :), so blogger is being annoying and wont let me center the writing? Oh well. Sorry that I haven't written a post for a while but last week was just full of mock exams so I was quite busy revising for those. 

Anyway yeah, the exciting news is that I've uploaded my first YouTube video! :)  I started off with a nice and simple 'Haul', so that it was nothing too complicated for me ;), I'll be doing a post on here to show everyone what the clothing i picked up looks like on, that should be up within a week, although I am still quite busy as it's my birthday on Wednesday, which I'm going out for a meal for, along with that I have my operation on my knee tomorrow.

LUSH - Brazened Honey Face Mask Review

Hi guys, as you may already know, I recently popped into Lush to do a bit of pamper shopping. I've always wanted to try out one of their face masks, so I picked up Brazened Honey, here's the description - 

Been burning the candle both ends? A detox mask to put things right
It’s hard to stick to all the rules. Eight hours sleep a night, two litres of water a day, plenty of exercise, five fruit and veg etc. This mask is for when you have overdone things and let the rules slide. A detox to get tired and dull skin back to being radiant and glowing.

I was so disappointed with this product! I felt like it did nothing but make my face cold? Like yeah okay that's refreshing for about 30 seconds, but it really doesn't make a noticeable difference to my skin. I don't feel like it achieves it's goal of making the skin more radient either.  However, I was pleased with the smell as it's very natural and it feels very clean on your face. Also, the person in Lush said it would only last 5-6 masks, but I got 10 uses out of it, even with a generous layer, so that was the best thing about it.
I'm not going to rule out all face masks just because this one was a disappointment, because I feel like maybe this product just didn't work for me? I'm definitely planning on trying a few more face masks from Lush though. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, unless you just want to feel refreshed for a few minutes.

If you guys could comment telling me what kind of posts you like and if you want more reviews then tell me exactly what products you want me to try out for you :)
