BURT'S BEES

Burt's bees lip balm review-

I've had this product for a while now and have loved it ever since I layed eyes on it! I have the original plain one and it has lasted me ages! I think next time I buy one I will get a different flavor/tint but I'll have to wait and see. 

I put this on before I go to bed and I wake up still feeling like I've got some left on my lips! However, my lips get quite flaky sometimes and this doesn't really help with the flakiness but it makes everywhere else smooth and soft. I do still like it though as it has a tingling effect, which can sometimes feel like its burning, especially if my lips are really sore and chapped but I don't mind it as it proves that its working, it also smells really nice and leaves a matte finish on the lips once applied, so its good if you're the type of person that doesn't want it to be obvious that you're wearing a lip product. Maybe if you're in school or if you're a bloke, haha. 

In my opinion this balm is a bit overpriced for what it 

is but still isnt too expensive! And you can get it in any drugstore. 

As usual thanks for reading! Id love to hear your thoughts on this product, or if you're thinking of getting it.  Follow my bloglovin/Twitter too if you will :) 

"Friends"

Friends

No, I'm not talking about the TV series, I'm talking about real life friends. The ones who come, the ones who go, and the ones who you're not sure about. 

In the past I've never really had more than 1 best friend, like I've had other friends as well as my best friend, but never had more than one person who I can call my best friend, as its very rare to find more I feel. I don't like to give the title to someone who's not as close to me as they could be, so whats the point in lying about it? 

Its hard to find people you can trust, especially if you're in high school. As there are popular people, the not so popular people, bitchy people, the two faced people, the wanna be populars etc, the list could go on... 

Its hard to find which category you fit into, and the people you'd like to spend time with. 

Even when you think you're close to someone and you think they're the loveliest person ever, they turn on you. Maybe because of a certain rumor about you they've heard that may or may not be true, or they just get tired of you and move onto others. Its sad but its true, it happens to us all. I try to see it as a positive thing and think that person was obviously not meant to be in my life, let them go into someone else's. 

In your group of friends, there can be people you're very close to, and people you're not so close to. This can be very confusing and can make some situations awkward, like if you want to invite people over to your house but you're not sure whether to invite the ones you're not as close to. As you're not sure where you stand with them. They kinda just hang around with you because they're closer to a certain person or 2 in your group. Of course you can try and become closer to them, but sometimes they just don't put the same amount of effort in.

Recently I've gone through situations where I've told people who I thought were my best friends secrets, and they've told others. This made me lose all trust in them and most people in general, there is only one friend I have that I can tell anything to and I know they will be loyal. This can make me seem like a really secretive and reserved person, and I get judged for it. But honestly I just don't want to get hurt again, some people just don't understand I guess. 

If you're in a sticky situation with a friend but don't have anyone to confind in and seek advice, I'm always here if anyone needs me, even though I don't know you personally, I'll be happy to help. As I know how alone and anxious "friends" can make you feel. Just message me on my Twitter @geeeboo if you need me. 

This is quite random but I thought this would be good to lighten the mood, I assume it goes with the topic.. haha enjoy

September Favs

September Favourites!

The following are all of the stuff I have been loving over the past month! Hope you enjoy :)

1) CANDY CRUSH- I downloaded this because of all the hype about it, my family members are always playing it so I thought I'd check it out, and since then I was hooked. Its just a really fun, addictive game! Download it if you're bored for hours of excitingness.

2) BABY LIPS- Again, after hearing all the good reviews about these, I had to buy them, especially as they were only £2.99 each in Superdrug. They smell absolutely amazing! I cant describe it very well but they smell very artificial and sweet and they remind me of smells from my childhood which is why I love them! They glide onto the lips so smoothly and have a nice pop of colour (tinted ones) also containing SPF 20, they claim to have like 8 hours moisturization which I have to say I don't agree with, but overall its a really good lip balm for such a cheap price!

3) ALONG CAME BETTY HAND CREAM- I recently got this as a gift so I'm not sure how much it was but I'm sure it wasn't pricey! The smell of this is so amazing, it smells very similar to soap and glory, so if you're a fan of that, you'll love this. It absorbs into the skin really nicely and doesn't feel greasy afterwards, whilst leaving my hands feeling soft and supple. I also like the fact that there's a lot of product in it so it will last a while!

4) BROWN PENCIL EYELINER (IN GENERAL)- This is just brown eyeliner in general, I have a few brown eyeliner pencils and don't really have a favourite between them, as brown pencil eyeliner is just brown pencil eyeliner to me. I love how soft and warm it looks when smudged into the lash line, I've started to wear it almost every day as I feel its very autumny and goes with everything! 

5) ARIANA GRANDE'S MUSIC- I've always liked Ariana and her music, but lately I've kinda become obsessed. I don't know if you've heard her music but you should really check out her new album Yours Truly. You wont regret it. This is my favourite song of hers at the moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jplsfg2IgAE I literally can't get enough!

Thanks so much for reading! Hope you've had a good september :) Comment your favourites and follow on here/ bloglovin/ Twitter if you please?

Miracle eye primer!

w7 eye primer!

Hi there :)

I've been meaning to do a review of this eye primer for a long time now, but have only just got round to doing it. Firstly I think that this eye primer is amazing for the price it is, its honestly so cheap! You can get it off amazon for under a pound! I know right?!
The consistency of it is quite thick but not heavy, it kinda feels a bit pasty at first but depends how much you apply, however it absorbs into the skin really quickly. I feel as if it makes my eye shadows a bit stronger and definitely makes them last longer, which is great considering how cheap it was, as I wasn't expecting much but the reviews on it were good so I thought I'd give it a try.
Lastly, I think you can get this in drug stores but I found it was much cheaper online.

Comment your favourite eye primers and if you've tried this one!
Thanks for reading, geeeboo xox

Tagged: The Good & Bad Beauty Blogger Tag!

The Beauty Blogger Tag!

This tag was created by Saffron who's blog is at http://saffystyle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/good-and-bad-tag.html#more so all credits to her!
And I'd like to thank Louise at http://kinderhealthandbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/tagged-good-and-bad-beauty-blogger-tag.html for tagging me!

Here's how it goes: Answer the questions and tag as many other bloggers to do this tag as you wish, but notify them afterwards, obviously :) 

So lets start!

Things I'm Good At: 

Face makeup- I don't always wear foundation, especially not a thick layer, but I always powder and conceal, and usually use blusher or something as well. Id say I'm good at applying it, I always make sure its blended in properly, and it never looks orange, most of the time people don't even notice I wear face makeup because you don't see it sitting on the skin like a mask. I use a combination of brushes/fingers/sponges. 

Lips- I rarely wear lipstick unless its for a special event or if its a nude colour, most of the time I just wear a natural coloured tinted lip balm or lip stain, I used to wear gloss but not anymore. I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to lip products, I always make sure its even and smooth and not too harsh for an everyday look. 

Eyes- I believe that I'm quite good at my eye makeup, although I have heard from some that its a bit messy in the past, but I'm not sure if they were just trying to bring me down, haha. I do a winged eyeliner practically everyday so I'm good at that from the practice, and I'm never too dramatic on eye shadow or anything either, especially if its a thick eyeliner line. Since that comment I've been a lot neater, and don't rush it like I used to.

Skincare- I'm religious about a clean face! I can never go all day with a layer of makeup on, it just feels so dirty.. There's nothing I love more than coming home and wiping off all my makeup and then cleansing my face, as I know its better for my skin, which makes me feel good I guess. 

Nails- Again, this is a thing I tend to rush as I'm so impatient! I do enjoy doing my nails, but sometimes I feel like its a bit of a chore, even if there's a colour I really want to put on, and especially if it ends up going wrong, I get so frustrated! However I do get compliments on my nails most of the time, I like doing designs with the nail art pens and thinking of creative things to paint. Those are the ones that normally get the compliments. 

Body- As I'm a clean freak, I always make sure my body is washed at least once a day, like I'm sure most people do. I love having nice relaxing baths, particularly in the winter they're like the highlight of my day! I try to exfoliate and moisturize as much as I can but well.. I'll tell you the rest in the Things I'm Bad At section. 

Lifestyle- I don't smoke or drink and I try to eat as much healthy foods as I can, but junk food will always taste better to me. ;)

Now onto..

Things I'm Bad At:

Face- As I'm pale as a ghost, I find it hard to find my exact match of foundation so it may sometimes be a bit dark for me, but I always blend it into my neck so its not patchy or orange. Also I'm not very good at contouring, I feel like I can do it, but it never really makes a difference or makes my face look slimmer, I don't know if its just because I'm doing it quite subtly or if I'm doing it completely wrong. 

Lips- I never use a lip liner, so I guess it doesn't look as clean cut and sharp as it should, but I'm just lazy. 

Eyes- I'm not really that good at blending eye shadow, I think its because the brush I use isn't a proper blending brush, I'm not sure though. Also sometimes my mascara or eyeliner transfers onto the bottom of my eye and smudges, which is annoying, I've tried numerous things to prevent it but none of them work!

Skincare- I forget to prime before foundation nearly every day, and especially because I have oily skin, I know I should be on top of it! Also, I'm a sucker for picking/squeezing spots, its a huge no no, but whenever I get a new spot I feel the urge to get rid of it quickly by doing it, it just relieves me from the pain/discomfort of a big lump under my skin. (Pleasant I know)

Nail varnish- I never apply a base coat or top coat before and after painting. I also leave my nail varnish on for way too long even after I'm bored of the colour, again, (because I'm lazy) and then it ends up staining which is always wonderful. 

Body- I don't moisturize or exfoliate everyday like I know you should, mainly because I don't feel like I have dry skin so I usually don't think it will matter too much if I don't, I just have no time to do it but its definitely something I need to work on!

Lifestyle- This is a big problem of mine but I simply don't drink enough water and no matter how many times I've been told, I just don't do it, not purposely though, I just don't feel thirsty a lot so I don't think to go take a drink. Although in the summer I must say that I do drink a lot more because of the heat and all, but in the winter/other months I hardly drink any. :/ I also need to eat more healthy foods like veg/fruit and fish, especially fish actually as I hate it but its seriously one of the healthiest things you can eat, and even though I know how much I would benefit from it, I just cant bring myself to eat much of it as I hate the taste/smell.

My Beauty Confessions

BEAUTY CONFESSIONS :O

We all have our little things that we do in our beauty regime that aren't what it says in the book. Here are a few things I'm guilty of... 

1. I sometimes put concealer on my eyelids as a primer, even though everyone says you shouldn't cos it creases and stuff. 

2. I'm really unorganized when it comes to cleaning my makeup brushes, I'm just too lazy to do it. 

3. I keep my mascara for waaaay longer than 3 months. 

4. This isn't really a rule breaker, but I never use lip liner, even for red lipstick. I just never think of getting one when I'm shopping.

5. I'm not really gentle at all when wiping off my makeup, normally because I'm in a rush when I do, especially my eyes which I know I should be more careful with. 

6. I have a heat protecting spray for my hair but I always forget to use it!

7. I don't do this anymore thankfully but when I was a younger I used to take a bath with a face full of makeup on. :/

8. This one is similar to number 7 but I sometimes exercise with makeup on too.

9. Even when I've had a lip gloss for years and there's still some left I refuse to throw it away and carry on using it even though its all sticky and old and not its best. haha. 

10. I don't sharpen my eye liners when they need sharpening. 

I'm sure there's more but that's all my beauty confessions for today! Thank you for taking time to read and follow me @geeeboo on Twitter and on here/bloglovin if you will :)

Comment your beauty confessions, Id love to hear them!

A day in my life!

A day in the life of geeeboo!

See what I got up to today living my boring life. Haha enjoy!

This morning was just like any other Saturday morning, I woke up,

Washed my face,

Had breakfast, (cereal and cup of tea as usual)

Brushed my teeth,

Done my makeup,

And got dressed.

I then had to do the thing I hate the most, homework. But I thought it'd be better to do it early in the morning so it was out of the way and I could carry on with my day. 

Once I finished that it was time for lunch, which included a fry up.. yum! Trust me it looked better in real life.

I didn't plan on doing this today but my friend Izzy rung me up and invited me shopping, and me being a girl, how could I turn it down?! 

Here is what I bought! These are all from Boots and Superdrug. 

I then came home at about 5:30 pm and listened to some music on YouTube for probably a good hour.. I'm addicted. 

Then it was time for dinna (Kinglsey voice) some of my cousins came over and joined us which was fun since I hardly ever see them anymore. Yes we had a roast on a Saturday..

After my cousins left, I had a nice relaxing bubble bath, I only really treat myself to one once a week as I usually don't have time on a school night. I used the Radox Muscle Relaxant bubble bath, ahhh 

Now this is the part of my day where I'm typing this right now, so Hi! After this I will watch TV, scroll through the internet and then it's off to bed! I have to get up early tomorrow :(

Thanks for reading, Im sorry I know its boring, maybe I'll do another one when I have more interesting things going on haha, anyways please follow my twitter @geeeboo and comment what you thought of this post, and give me a follow on here/bloglovin :)
