5.Covergirl

4. Urban Decay

3. Nars 

2. Mac 

1. Seventeen

Those are the make-up brands I would like to try in the future when I do decide to wear make-up. Have you tried any of these products? If you have tell me if they're good or not? What make-up brands do you like? I hope you enjoyed this post. 

      Just remeber makeup isn't a must, it's a choice so don't feel pressured to wear makeup. If you think your the only one that doesn't wear make-up just remeber your not alone. Make-up is for everyone. I'll see you in my next post.

Beauty: Top 5 Beauty Products

Hey hey. I hope your doing fine. Today for my post I will be doing a beauty related post. I'm doing my Top 5 favourite beauty products. I hope you enjoy. 

5. Simple: Balancing Oil Wipes 

I have an oily skin type and I wanted something that would control it. I have tried so many products but none of them worked. This is amazing. I love the way that it's from simple and their products are organic. It works for me all day and I really like it. 

4. Johnsons body wash

These washes are amazing. It gives me that soft silky feeling after a shower. It smells really nice as well and it lasts long too. 

3. Beauty Bliss body lotion 

I got this as a Christmas present from my best friend Beatrish. I'm not the type of person that wears body lotion everyday but ever since I got this, I have been using it everyday. The packaging is so beautiful, it has a long lasting smell and it makes my body soft. It's a really good lotion and I'll definitely be buying it again. 

2. Clean and Clear: Blackhead scrub 

This scrub is really really good. It does it's job. I love the way it gives my face a soft, clean feeling and also Clean and Clear products are my favourite . 

1. Dove: Maximum Protection Deodorant  This is amazing. I have tried so much deodorants and have never seen anything like it. It smells amazing and it works really good. Especially since I have around eight hours of school and basketball for two hours after school, it works really well. It is quite pricy costing €7 but it is really good. 

So that's all for today posts. I hope you enjoyed my list of my top 5 beauty products. You can expect me to do more "Top 5" lists. If you have anything you want me to do a "Top 5" on tell me in the comments!

      I'll be going back to school tomorrow, so that means I'll be posting once a week. I'll still be doing all the topics just it will be once a week. When I get my next midterm I'll be posting more.

     Tell me what your top 5 beauty products are and if you enjoyed this post or not. I'll see you in my next post.

Lifestyle: New Years Resolutions

Hey hey and Happy New year. I can't believe it's 2015 already. To me the past couple of years have flew by. Since it's the new year, I wanted to post about resolutions. I'm going to be talking about my resolution and giving you tips on how to pick yours! Just remember not everyone has to have a New Years resoultion. It can be halfway through the year or you don't have to have one at all. 

My new year resolution 

1. I think my first and main will definitely be to get out of my comfort. I have been told this by my parents numerous times that I have to stop being so afraid of everything. To me this is one of the most important resolutions, because if I don't get out of my comfort zone I'm not going to get anywhere in life (in my opinion). I might miss some wonderful opportunities that I might never get again. For example in April my whole year group may be going on this P.E/ sport trip to a centre where they do all kinds of things like rock climbing and canoeing and ect.  And my first thought when I heard it was I'm going to die. I'm just a negative person that takes everything as a bad thing, but it would actually be a good thing because when will the next time be that you get to have this experience. So my first New Years resolution is to get out of my comfort zone. 

2. To be more religious. When I have a problem, I don't like to talk about it to anyone. It's because I don't know how to go to a person and say "Hey, I'm not happy with or I feel lonely because.......". It scares me to go to someone and tell them what's going on in my mind. So if I were to become more religious and become closer to God. I would have someone to talk to whenever and wherever. And I think it would also help with my stress, because I am a very stressful person.

3. Spend more time with my best friends. We do spend time with each other, I just want to try and spend more time with each other. If it's walking together after school or going somewhere after school or spending more time during holidays that would be fine. I just love them so much that I want to spend so much time with them. And also it would help me become an even more happier person. 

1. Think about if it will help you in the long run. Say example for my comfort zone resolution that would help me in the long run. Is it a realistic resolution or is it an unrealistic resoultion. No resolution is unrealistic but just ask yourself that question. 

2. Don't pick unrealistic targets. For example you want to lose 20 pounds in one month. That is not a realistic goal. You can only lose 2 pounds every week that's less than a kilo a week. First of all if you lost 20 ponds in one month, your body would become very weak because you've put your body under so much pressure to do something really quick and you'll just gain the weight you lost again. So don't set unrealistic targets for your resolution. 

3. Think about what has been bothering you about yourself or anything in the past couple of weeks or months. Say example  you haven't been doing good in school lately. You should pick that as one of your resolutions because it will be beneficial on other things. If you start to get your grades up that will help you get into a college and you can get the career you've always wanted. (I'll be doing a post about how to study soon) 

4. Have faith in yourself. If you don't believe you can and give up easily it won't work. I'm one of those people who just say I can't immediately without even trying it. It won't help you. Believe in yourself that you can do it. Everyone has the ability to do everything you just got to try.

5. Last but not least. 

YES YOU CAN! 

That's all for this post! I hope you enjoyed it and it helped you out. Comment what you thought of this post and if you have any posts you want me to do. I'll see you in my next post.

Book review: Fangirl

Hey hey! I hope your doing fine! I hope you have enjoyed my last couple of posts. Are you guys excited for New Years? Tell me in the comments. 

          Today in my post I will be doing a review on a book called Fangirl. This will be in the Fandom section of my blog. There will be lots more in the fandom section, this is just a part of it. I hope you enjoy my review. 

Author 

Rainbow Rowell

Plot 

Cath and Wren are identical twins and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair anymore. It's not so easy for Cath. She would rather bury herself in fanfiction than go dancing and meet boys. 

       Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open herself to new people and experiences, and Cath has realised there's more to love than she knows. 

Review 

The start was really enjoyable but as I started to read near the middle, I felt that it was being dragged out and then near the last couple of chapters it was rushed to the end. I wish something exciting happend apart from being drunk and stuff. It does have topics that relate to our society today and that's probably why I enjoyed the book. I wish it did go somewhere in my opinion but I know it's not a book that has all sort of futuristic or magic going on in it. I just wish something exciting happend. 

Rating 

My rating for Fangirl is 6 out of 10. It lost 4 marks because of the way it was dragged and the rushness to the end and I got bored halfway through the book. If it was made into a movie I don't think it would be very enjoyable because there is nothing in the book for it to become a movie in my opinion. 

That's all for today's post. I hope you enjoyed my book review. What did you think of it? Have you ever read Fangirl? If you have what is your opinion on it? If you haven't and have read my review will you read it? Tell me in the comments and  I'll see you in my next post!

Outfit of the Shanene

Hey hey! I hope your doing fine. On my post today I'm going to be talking about an outfit I wore out to Dundrum. It was pretty freezing so I wanted something that would keep me warm but was also casual and comfortable. I hope you enjoy and sorry for the shadow that was my photographer Nuliya and her assistant Beatrish. These are nicknames by the way! 

     

I got the coat from Dunnes Stores for about €40 three years ago. I was quiet surprised at how good it was coming form Dunnes Stores. It's still perfectly new and it goes with all my outfits so I really like it. And it's also really warm. 

The crossover bag I got from Nuliya for my birthday. I don't know where it's from or how much it costs but it's a perfect size. It's from a company called Therapy. There's space in it for all my items and it's easy to carry and also that it's a crossover bag makes it nicer because I'm not the type of person that likes handbags. This crossover bag can be used as a handbag as well and it can be used as a clutch. 

The red jeans I got from Penney's for I think €10. They are really comfortable and they match all my clothes so I really like them. 

The scarf was a Christmas present. It's not my favourite scarf for winter because of the material it's made from but it does do it's job. I have to wear a scarf around my neck because I got my tonsils removed. I don't know if I have to but my mum insists I do. 

The crop jumper was my mum's but she gave it to me because it's been in her wardrobe for a VERY long time and she never wore. It's really comfy and warm. I find it stylish. 

The shirt underneath the crop top is from Forever 21. It's a nice shirt and it's light because of the material. It caught my eye because of collar and the cutout near the top of it. 

Now the ankle boots. I got these when I went on holidays to Italy and these boots are the best boots I have ever worn. They are really stylish and comfortable. I got them in a shop called Shoemaker for about €50, and honestly it's a really good price for really good quality shoes. 

That's all for today's post I hope you enjoyed it. These will be what some of my fashion posts will be like, but I won't be doing Outfit of the Shanene all the time as the time to take the photos and the weather in Dublin is not always that sunny and I have school. So I'll be doing OOTS during holidays or breaks. Tell me in the comments what you thought of my post and I'll see you in my next post!

MovieswithShanene: Alice in Wonderland

Hey hey! I hope your doing fine. So for my first post (not literally) I will be doing a review on Alice in Wonderland. These segments will be called "MovieswithShanene" because my last blog was called "MovieswithShanene" and I didn't want to lose my nickname. So I hope you enjoy my review.

Genre

Age

Plot 

Alice has been having the same recurring nightmares ever since she left Underland, as a little girl. 

      She is 19 now and Alice keeps having them, her dad is not there to help her at night anymore when she wakes up.  

     While at her engagement party, she sees a rabbit. When she trys to tell her aunt and soon to be mother-in-law they all think she's bonkers. Alice runs off while trying to decide whether or not she should get married to Hamish, and after spotting the rabbit. She falls into the hole which leads to Underland. This is not the first time she has been here, but she doesn't know that. 

       While here, Alice reunites with old friends and is told why she has been lured back. Alice is in for a ride not what she expected.

Mia Wasikowska

Helen Bonham Carter

Anne Hathaway 

Stephen Fry 

Crispin Glover 

Director 

Tim Burton 

 

Review 

If you have a Tim Burton movie you know Johnny Depp is obviously going to be in it. I like the way it continues from when Alice was a child and as she grows up, not just another completely different movie. The graphics were SOOOOO good. I love it when movies have really good graphics because it makes the movie come alive. Quite funny at parts and also a bit sudden for some scenes. The last scene in Underland was so sweet and sad. The actors and actresses I thought were very well casted. 

      I did wish that the plot was a bit more detailed but over all I enjoyed it. I am very excited to see Alice in Wonderland: Through the looking Glass and see what the whole concept will be. It's set for release on May 27, 2016. 

 

Rating 

I'm going to give Alice in Wonderland a 4 out 5. It lost one star because of the lack of plot. 

I hope you enjoyed my movie review. Sorry that its quite short, my blog posts won't usually be this short. Tell me in the comments what you thought of my review and what you thought of Alice in Wonderland. I'll see you soon.
