Film Reviews



On one very lonely Valentines Day, I found myself scrolling through the Romance section on Netflix. In doing so I came across 2 films that I'd never heard of before. One being 'Like Crazy' and the other being 'Remember Sunday'.


I decided to watch 'Like Crazy' first for whatever reason, and I have to say that I was a little bit confused at the start of this film (but that's probably just down to me being my dopey self). However shortly after I just about gathered what was going on.

There were a few moments in the film which to me, came across a little awkward and left me sat there like 'this is gunna be a bit weird.' But I was actually pleasantly surprised towards the end of it. I found it quite relateable from a personal experience of mine, and I'm sure many of you will too if you've ever experience long-distance relationships.
 It was also a lovely surprise seeing the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence in this as well which I had no idea about, (you can tell I appreciate the casting list on the front cover).

Brief description by Netflix:
An American man and a British woman fall madly in love while attending college in Los Angeles. But when she returns to London, their trust is tested, forcing them to confront the idea that their love may be impermanent.

I rate this film: ****





Now onto the next, 'Remember Sunday'.
I found the story line quite predictable and similar to others that I have previously seen. Although I did enjoy it, I just didn't like it as much as I did 'Like Crazy'.
Overall this is an interesting and in parts, emotional film that I would definitely recommend, in fact I recommend both of which I have reviewed today.

Brief description by Netflix:
Lonely waitress Molly meets a handsome and quirky man. Once she gets to know him better though, she feels that he is hiding something from her.

I rate this film: ***

Tanya Burr's Lips&Nails: Picnic In The Park

Picnic In The Park

I'm sure that most of you know who Tanya Burr is, but if you don't, she is a makeup artist/YouTuber who makes beauty videos/makeup tutorials and many other fun videos. Recently she has brought out her first ever collection of lip glosses and nail polishes, and me being a fan of her's I knew I HAD to try at least 1 of her products! You can purchase her products at feelunique.com (and soon to be some Superdrug stores across Britain) where there are so many gorgeous colours to choose from with a selection of adorable names.

Me being a typical girl, I couldn't decide which colour lip gloss to get... but in the end I ended up going with Picnic In The Park as I wanted a natural looking pink which I could include in my everyday makeup. Below are some picture's of the gloss itself and how it looks on the lips:



The lethal weapon-
I found the wand to be quite narrow and thinner than any I've ever seen before, although this doesn't bother me, it's just something that I noticed. I'm not sure if the picture really does this justice...
Also, I know its random but I really like how the lid locks onto the lipstick, it just twists really nicely into place. (I give you permission to call me weird)

The liquid stuff-
I love how the colour vibrancy is very build-able, depending on how much you apply it can look either quite sheer or quite bright. Tanya claims it to be long lasting, super moisturizing and comfortable on the lips. I agree that its long lasting, as it has probably lasted longer on my lips than any other lip gloss I've ever had. It is also the most moisturizing lip gloss I've ever had funnily enough, even after its worn off, my lips feel soft and smooth as if I had applied a balm before. I like knowing that whilst its making my lips look good, its doing good as well.
 Lastly Tanya claims it to be comfortable on the lips (meaning non-sticky I presume). However, this is something I only agree with to an extent. As it is, I'm afraid a little sticky, but to be honest what lip gloss isn't? There isn't really a lip gloss out there that's not at least a little bit sticky, is there? But with that being said, its still the least stickiest lip gloss I've ever had- which is great! And it feels fine on the lips, nothing you wouldn't expect from a lip gloss.

Other qualities-
I'm not sure if its just me that thinks this, but the artificial strawberry scent reminds me a little bit of Calpol...
This is a bonus I guess depending on whether or not you like the smell/taste of the medicine. 

The Price Tag-
£6.99 from feelunique

In Conclusion...
I like this lip gloss very much, and will hope to purchase more in the very near future!(and possibly a nail varnish or two as well)
I'm so proud of Tanya and everything that she has achieved, as much as I love her I'm not going to lie, I didn't know if these lip glosses were going to be as professional as regular drug store/high-end brands, but let me tell you they are just as good, if not better than the other lip glosses out there on the market. And I recommend you checking out the collection! 

Thank you for reading- comment if you have already, or are thinking about buying something from this lovely collection!


Best wishes,
