Top Ten Tuesday (5)

Image
As some of you know this is a meme that i sometimes join when i like the topic and this week i really liked the topic so i decided to post! Top 10 books you would recommend to X person ( and for me that is friends, just any friend) 1. The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead Why: When i first found these series (it was when only 3 books were out), I read those three books in one day and one night, i just couldn't stop reading, i literally finished an hour before i had to wake up to go to school, i was so tired but so excited, and when i looked when the next book was going to come out, it said in a year, so i was pretty bummed!, and now i have all the books!, so i can read them over and over again, and i definitely would, because this series is that good. 2. The Fault in our Stars by John Green Why: This is just a book that everyone has to read, it is that good, i cried and laughed and cried and laughed, it was an emotional rollercoaster... in a good way ha

Skin: Night time routine

Image
First i take off my eye makeup with this Declaré eye contour bi-phase sensitive eye makeup remover for all skin types (and i only use this if i have makeup on) This eye makeup remover has been my favorite for a while it takes off my makeup very easily and doesn't leave anything out ( sometimes when i use other makeup removers i wake up with racoon eyes because it didn't get all of it off, and this eye makeup remover get's all of it). Then i use my Garnier Pure Active Blackheads uprooting scrub which i commented on in my morning routine (saying that i loved it and a review is coming soon). And next i use my Tea Tree face mask which i love, it's my favorite facemask so far (sometimes i change this mask and toner with the morning routine ones to just change it up a bit). I put it on my face, wait for 10-15 minutes and rinse it off with cold or warm water. After i started using it i can definitely say that i noticed a very good difference in m

Skin: Morning Routine

Image
Today i have a morning skin routine for you guys, i do this practically everyday (i don't use all of them everyday sometimes i skip some of them because i like to change things up). First i wash my face with Garnier Pure Active Blackheads uprooting scrub, i use this all the time even during night, i feel like it really cleans my face and it is a really good scrub, currently one of my favourites (but i won't give everything away since i will do a review on it soon). And on some days when i have more time i use Formula 10.0.6 Deep down detox ultra-cleansing mud mask, so far i am liking this mud mask, i haven't used it a lot since i only use it when i have enough time, but so far so good. Then i use Formula 10.0.6 So totally clean deep pore cleanser, this one i have been loving a lot, there is just one thing that i would complain about and that is the scent (i will get into that better in my review), but it doesn't bother me that much, it mi

Favorite Perfumes

Image
First of all i would like to say that i can't explain scents at all, so this won't be that kind of a review where i explain to you how the scent smells like, because i honestly can't even try to explain it haha. Escada - Cherry in the air I bought this perfume this year, i went to this little shop in a town near me that has a lot of great sales on perfumes, it's where i got all of my perfumes, and i have been meaning to check this one out, and the second i smelt (smelt is right, right ?) it, i just fell in love with this scent, it has a very nice and fruity smell, which i really like, but not everyone likes it, my sister said that she felt like throwing up every time she borrowed my clothes because this scent was on them haha, it might be too sweet for some people. Lolita Lempicka This has been my favorite perfumes in years, ever since my sister had it, i kept stealing it from her and recently i got my own, even though it was a wee bit expensive i did

So when her equally frustrated friend Beth suggests the ultimate escape – dancing their way through a series of scorchingly-hot countries – she can’t resist! There’s just one catch... they can only go on this adventure if they participate in a reality TV show, one intent on teaching them the mournful tango in Argentina, the feisty flamenco in Spain and the sassy, celebratory salsa in Cuba! As they travel from Buenos Aires to Seville and ultimately steamy Havana, each dance has a profound effect on the girls – and indeed the sexy gauchos, matadors and dirty dancers who partner them... But, when the sun goes down, do they have what

The Perks Of Being a Wallflower Book and Movie Review

Image
Book title: The Perks Of Being a Wallfower Author: Stephen Chbosky Main Character: Charlie Published: February 1st 1999 Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary Summary: Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that wil

And now is as good a time as any to say that she was beautiful. In the dark beside me she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla, and on that thin mooned night i could see little more than her silhouette except for when she smoked, when the burning cherry of the cigarette washed her face in pale red light. But even in the dark, i could see her eyes - fierce emeralds. She had the kind of eyes that predisposed you to supporting her every endea

Two of these books i got in the discount book store for very little and you will be able to see which those books are since they don't look new lol. The book Thief by Markus Zusak Lord of the rings - fellowship of the ring by J.R.R. Tolkien One Day by David Nicholls The curious incident of the dog in the night time by Mark Hadden I got this version of the Book Thief and i think it's just so gorgeous, I've read one book by Markus Zusak and it is I am the messenger, i really enjoyed that book, but it's been a while since i read it (My English class while i was in Iceland had to read the book), and i want to read it again, but for now i can finally read The Book Thief. There was a different version of Lord of the rings that i wanted but i got this one and when i checked inside the book  i saw so many beautiful il
