They're real benefit mascara review

Hey guys,
Today I am going to be doing my first mascara review and also its my first review on my blog.

I have really loved this product and I use it everyday and I have swapped this mascara for others loads and always found myself returning back to this mascara because its a mascara I love. Also when using this mascara I can really tell the difference between wearing it and not wearing it.

WITH                                                                   WITHOUT                
On this picture I have two coats on one eye and none on the other eye. I have had the miniature bottle of this mascara for about 3 months now and it still feels like a brand new mascara every time I put it on. Also from this picture we can tell the difference it has made to my lashes, because you can tell they are almost touching my eyebrows and how my natural ones are really short.

The product is definitely be worth the price for the full size bottle seen as it is £19.50 for 8.5g. I would recommend this product to anyone and I will definitely be buying this full size product before my miniature one runs out and this will be the mascara I will worship.

My summer must haves

Hey Guys,

So I know alot of you have just broken up from school for the summer, so I wanted to share with you what items I have enjoyed the last 5 weeks.

So the First item is the sleek cc cream and what I really like about this is that its really light so you don't feel like you are caked in make up, also another thing I really like about is that has an spf of 29 so it means that I don't need to put suncream on my face.

The next thing is a comfy chair outside this way I can relax in the sun, sadly I don't know what make or anything about the chair I sat in in sept it was a reclining cushioned chair but as long as you are comfortable its all good.

The next thing I have loved is a good book to read, and the book i have really enjoyed was 'The Fault In Our Stars' and I have got to admit this is the best book possible and I was crying so much by the end of this book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone so go read this but seen as I have finished this one I am going to start reading paper towns. Also books amazing to read in bed, before or after you have slept but also they are amazing to read when relaxing in the sun.

The next item I have loved is the malibu sun screen just because it smells so nice because lets be honest who doesn't want to smell of coconut, and always make me feel like I am in the caribbean or somewhere really relaxed and sunny when I wear it in the sun.

My next favourite thing is a whiteboard from the range and I am using this to make to do lists so I actually do the things I am meant to be doing, an guys if you are bad at doing things do what I do and put things you have already done on it and straight away cross them them or tick them off. I feel this always makes me gain the motivation to actually complete things by the way guys I can't take credit for this idea because one of my teachers told me about this.

The next thing we all need and this is really pretty and cute summer outfits. So this summer I have really been enjoying floral dungarees or t shirt and shorts or even a plain tshirt with printed leggings. You guys can check what I have been wearing on my instagram where is do Ootd its mandybelleblog so go check that out.

The last things I have been really enjoying is Youtube videos, these are also been really good to watch whilst being outside and there some amazing youtubers but also you guys could check out my video its https://www.youtube.com/watch.

Also I want you guys to go check out the sacconejolys when you are on youtube because they actually gave me some amazing advice this is what they said to me

Recreating Zoella's outfit

Hey guys,

So today I decided I would do a fashion post so we are going to be recreating one of Zoellas outfits so I hope you enjoy it guys.


So this is the outfit we are going to recreate, I choose this one because its really cute and you can change small things so it more personal to you.




The first item you will need is the top and I have found one at American Apparel. Also the good thing about this top is that instead of have the Z you can have your initial so its more personal to you.

Link: http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/unisex-helvetica-alphabet-t-shirt_2001haw1 
Price: £22






The next item me need to complete is the skirt and I have found one similar to Zoe's at Topshop. Alot of places sell these skirts so if you can't find one at Topshop you are bound to find one somewhere.

Link: http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/skirts-449/skater-skirts-3111163/black-scuba-flippy-skirt-2637155?bi=1&ps=20
Price: £25





The final main item of this outfit is the shoes and I have found some that are similar to the ones Zoe is modeling in her outfit at New Look. You can also get them so they have a smaller or larger heel, so it can suit your preference.

Link: http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/black-leather-ankle-strap-wedge-sandals_314955301
Price: £24.99



Now we have the outfit sorted we can go to the accessories that Zoella is wearing.




So one of the accessories we can see Zoella modeling is the camel coloured belt and we have found one very similar to hers at Topshop. I feel like this will bring the whole outfit together.

Link: http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/bags-accessories-1702216/belts-466/charm-skinny-leather-belt-3020499?bi=1&ps=20
Price: £18





The next accessory is the glasses that I think really suit Zoella and the outfit, so I have found some similar to Zoe's at Claires. Also these come in different styles and patterns so you can choose your favourite.

Link: http://www.claires.co.uk/black-rubberised-retro-geek-glasses/shop/fcp-product/18589
Price: £6




Also know that Zoella always wears her rose gold watch and we can see that she is wearing it on her left wrist in this outfit, so I found one similar at Topshop.

Link: http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/bags-accessories-1702216/watches-2497426/nixon-small-rose-gold-kensington-watch-2652084?bi=61&ps=20
Price: £170





We can also tell that on her right wrist she is wearing a black bracelet. So we have found a simple black bracelet at Pandora, obviously you can use a different black bracelet if you wanted.

Link: http://estore-uk.pandora.net/bracelets/moments-black-triple-leather-bracelet/590714CBK-T.html?prefn1=color&start=2&cgid=39cfe14b-61cd-4afd-ae28-a0c9008dd246&prefv1=Black
Price: £45



Finally we can tell Zoella is wearing a dark red lipstick that gives the outfit a bit more colour but it still suits the outfit because it is a dark red. I have found one by BarryM that is a similar colour to the one Zoella is wearing. You can use a different brand if you don't like this brand or if you prefer a different brand.

Link: http://www.superdrug.com/Barry-M/Barry-M-Lip-Paint-Cranberry-Red/p/551156
Price: £4.49



So that was my version of Zoella's outfit please recommend, comment and follow. Also please follow my twitter @Mandbelleblog and subscribe to my youtube I will start uploading videos soon.

Thanks and bye Guys.

A picture that says a thousand words

Hey Guys

Sorry I didn't do a post yesterday I was really busy but today's post is really special. The picture below is of my kitten Chelsea today is her first birthday.
My Kitten
This is one of the first picture I took of Chelsea after we adopted her from an animal rescue but she is the best possible thing that has happened to me. My parents got me this kitten during a time when I was feeling depressed and pressured so this little kitten brightened up my life and allowed me to enjoy things more. Also I have always said she is part dog because she will play fetch (she does bring the ball back) and also she will know when your upset and cheer you up.

Thanks for reading this today guys recommend, comment and follow. Also don't forget to follow our twitter @Mandybelleblog and don't forget to come back tomorrow for another post.

Bye Guys, hoped you enjoyed it today.

Fitness Fight


Hey Guys

Today I am going to tell you my fitness goals. Well I am going to start off by explaining the history of my fitness, well I have to admit I have always been rather chubby however there was a small period of time where I was quite skinny this was around years 4/5 so I was around 9/10 but thats when I lost my puppy fat. However not long after that I gained weight and found it hard to lose it no matter how much exercise I did or how healthy I ate. This is still carrying on but it doesn't help how during year 10 and 11 I decided to stop eating properly. Also at holidays when I ate properly I lost weight so I have decided that might be the reason why I haven't been able to lose weight, so seen as I have started my holiday I am going to make it my mission to lose weight. My aim is to eat healthy, do 30 minutes of exercise a day and to make sure I eat every meal of the day. My target is to lose 1 stone in 2 weeks.

Everyday I am going to do a second post about what exercise I have done that day and what I have ate. I will also be telling you how much I weighed at the end of the day.

However There won't be a fitness blog on saturday or sunday due to me doing my dofe but I will make sure I do my normal daily blog posts before I leave on saturday and after I have come back on sunday. However if I don't have time before on saturday two posts will be posted on sunday.

Thanks for reading this today guys like, comment and follow us. Also don't forget to go over to our twitter page its @Mandybelleblog . Also if you are new to this page don't forget to check our previous posts.

Bye Guys xx
