Maybelline Dream Matt mouse foundation | Review

I'm always on the search for the perfect foundation for my skin. I recently stumbled upon Maybelline Dream Matt mouse foundation, and immediately fell in love. I had my previous foundation, the True Match powder foundation by L'Oreal for quite a while, but it wasn't really right for my skin and sometimes looked cakey and felt heavy, so I wanted a change.

As the name suggests, this foundation has a soft, spongy feeling that feels powdery soft and light when you apply it to your face. However, due to this it shows up dry patches of skin very easily, meaning that you might want to apply moisturizer first.

If I apply it directly after moisturizer, it doesn't dry out my skin and draw attention to dry patches. However, this effect slowly ends before the end of the day. It does stay on all day though,and doesn't oxidise or turn orange and feels very light, therefore it doesn't clog pores.

It is easy to apply, you can either use a brush or your fingers, both work just the same. Because it has a soft matt texture it blends into your skin well and doesn't look cakey.

I purchased the foundation in the sand colour from Superdrug for only £7.69. I will definitely be buying this again

Grown Ups 2 Review

So yesterday I went to the cinema with 3 of my best friends Sophie Freya and Tamara. We saw the film Grown Ups 2 which was absolutely hilarious.

 

 In the first Grown Ups, five middle-aged men (James, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider) reunite at the funeral of their old baseball coach, and decide to spend a weekend reconnecting at Lenny Feder's (Sandler) lake house. They all bring along their wives and children. The sequel takes place three years later. All the characters are mostly the same, except for Schneider, who was replaced by the effortlessly funny Nick (Nick Swardson).

 

It’s the last day of school before summer and the childhood buddies from the original Grown Ups movie all now live in the suburban town where they grew up but life is still not perfect in the ‘burbs. Apparently early-retired from Hollywood, Lenny  and his hot wife Roxanne (Salma Hayek) and their kids (including Cameron Boyce from TV’s “Jessie”) find a huge deer in their house and freak.

 

Eric (Kevin James) tries not to discourage his obviously super stooopid young son and flatters his daughter Donna’s ugly, self-designed light-up “go-go” boots while Kurt (Chris Rock) deals with his wife forgetting their anniversary and his toddler son’s poo-filled diaper and Marcus (David Spade) meets Braden (Hunger Games’ Alexander Ludwig) the son he never knew he had; a huge, angry kid who scares him.

 

Lenny’s teen son Greg is crushing on hot Nancy (Halston Sage) but is afraid to ask her out, a nerd asks Charlotte (China Anne McClain) out and Keithie (Cameron Boyce) is bullied by a huge guy on the school bus. The adults deal with their own problems: Eric is spending more time with his nurturing mom than his wife, Roxanne wants another baby and the guys are longing for their more exciting high school days while reuniting with some bad boys from their childhood who are now the town cops (Shaquille O’Neal plays one of them).

 

Frat boys take over the adult guys’ favourite swimming hole in a big stone quarry and their leader (Twilight’s Taylor Lautner) challenges them to jump off a high cliff into the water naked. Of course, they do. Angry that his newly-discovered dad lied to him to keep from spending time with him, Braden trashes the frat house making the guys think Lenny and his pals, including Braden’s dad, did it.

 

In addition to a huge fight between the party-crashing frat boys and everybody else, Lenny’s ‘80’s party includes him finally getting even with the bully who haunted his childhood when the guy decides to bond with him and they “fake” a fight which Lenny fake-wins. The same deer from the first scene attacks Taylor Lautner with disastrous results and Charlotte gets to show off her singing talent while Nancy finally kisses a grateful Greg, Keithie overcomes his bully and Marcus and son buddy up.

 

Way more goes on in the Grown Ups 2 story than I had space to mention but there are more “ewwwww”, gross pottie humour moments in the film than truly funny ones. Sure, you’ll have some laughs and you might escape summer boredom while you identify with some of the young teens enjoying a first beer, first date/kiss and suffering a first bully etc.  

 

 

You might also have fun seeing Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner play a silly, macho frat boy jock who gets to throw some pretty awesome martial arts moves in the movie and show that he can do comedy or you might like hearing like two seconds of China McClain from “A.N.T. Farm” singing.

Definitely going to watch this movie again.

The Liebster award

Hello there my lovely readers! So I was recently nominated for the Liebester Award by the amazing A Teen Girl's Life! Thanks so much, it made my day! :)

 

If you don't already know, the Liebster award is for bloggers with under 200 followers. It's a way for new bloggers to meet new people and get new followers.

The rules

-You must link back the person who nominated you
-You must answer the 10 questions given to you by your nominee
-You must pick several bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers
-You must come up with 10 questions for your nominees to answer
-You must go to their blogs and notify them

What I need to answer:

Talk me through your daily skin routine:

 I don't really have much of a routine to be honest. When I wake up I wash my face with freederm exfoliating facial wash, I repeat this before I go to bed. My lips get quite dry so I normally use Vaseline daily.

What is your favourite subject at school?

I like most subjects, but my favourite two are history and geography.

What did you think of Miley's performance at the MTV awards?

Miley Cyrus’ performance at last weekend’s annual MTV Video Music Awards has raised more than a few eyebrows for it’s raunchy nature. Appearing in a nude bikini while making suggestive dance moves with a foam finger alongside Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke – it was a brave move for the former Disney star. To be honest I am not really bothered. Its up to her how she dresses and acts, its just that it is extremely different to how Disney portrayed her personality.

Is there someone you really admire at school or work? If so, why?
There isn't really anyone I admire at school, not even any teachers.

If you were scouted (given the chance) to be a model, would you go for it? Why?

Yeah. I probably would,(even thought it is extremely unlikely) because I love fashion and it would be a great experience. Why not?

If a close friend of yours had ditched you to be with someone popular, how would you react?

Hmm, I would be a bit pissed of. I don't want to be friends with anyone who puts popularity before true friends, because that just shows that they're not loyal. They obviously don't care enough about you if they ditch you for someone who's more "popular", and nobody should waste their time with people like that.

Is there a sport you're secretly or not so secretly good at? 

I'm not really a sporty person, but I have to admit I do enjoy tennis and badminton.

What's your starsign? Research on some of your traits and share!
Leo~JULY 24 - AUGUST 23. Apparently I am original, imposing, inflexible, motivated, ambitious, loyal, physical, charitable and majestic.

What are your goals in life? 

 Just to do my best and follow my dreams. To never give up and keep on trying.

What did you dream about last night?
Hmm I think One Direction, I didn't dream about them in that way, I dreamed about their new movie  "This Is Us" which I saw today with my friend Sophie. It was really good.
