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.

Don't forget to check out and subscribe to my youtube channel for beauty, hair and life videos. Also don't forget to follow my blog, recommend and also comment any ideas you want a blog or a video on and I will make sure to make them.

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

June Favourites

So its official guys its the last day of June and half way through the year, thats scary. So I wanted to share with you guys what I have been enjoy this June. Hope you see some items you want to try or you have tried and agree with me about.

Okay so the first product I have really loved this month is a lipgloss and its the Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss in the colour Lovechild, its a really nice pink looks amazing on. Also what I love about this lipgloss is that it doesn't feel sticky on your lips and also it has vitamin E, avocado oil and shea butter in it so it makes your lips feel more nourished and hydrated.

Urban Decay Naked LipGloss in colour Lovechild

The next item I have really loved in June is the Benefit they're real mascara, this makes your eyes looks amazing and never clumps. Also I have had this little for a couple of months now and I use it everyday and it still has not run out because you don't need to use that much at a time. I can honestly say this is my favourite mascara ever.

Benefit they're real mascara

 The next item are a pair of shoes and these are the nike blazers. I know I am really late with the trend from these but to be honest I don't care, but i am not going to lie this are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Also blue is one of my favourite colours so this makes these so much better.

Nike Blazers

Okay so this is another thing that I am actually quite late with and thats the fault in our stars. However there is a reasonable reason for this and that is because the everyone was reading this whilst I was revising for my exams and I kept saying to myself I buy it then read it all as soon as my exams are over, and that is what I did but I haven't finished yet. I will be doing a review on this later in the month so remember to check that out.

The fault in our stars book by John Green

The next thing I have been using for a long time but I have always loved it and that is the soap and glory great shakes hand cream. I do own a lot of hand creams and this one is my favourite, Just because it leaves your hands feeling silky soft but not feeling greasy and that is what I love in hand creams. Also it smells amazing and makes your hands feel really hydrated.

Soap and glory great shakes hand cream

The next one is an app I have been really enjoying this month and that is YouTube and I have literally spent all the time since my exams finished watching vlogs and there just amazing and funny. Also there are some amazing youtubers out there but ones I have been really enjoying are Pointlessblog, Marcus Butler, Zoella, Tanya Burr, Jim Chapman, Thatcherjoe, Funforlouis, Sprinkleofglitter, and Casper. Also some of these youtubers have second channels and they are also amazing so I recommend you go and check out their channels.

This one is a song I have really enjoyed this month and that is Ghost by Ella Henderson, this is just one amazing song and I would recommend this song to anyone.

My last favourite is my favourite vlog of June and that is by Marcus Butler and its called "Nobodys Perfect - Dealing With Pressure" this is an amazing vlog and I would recommend this to anyone but especially to people who are self conscious or who feel pressured. I think you should all go and have look at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQVWz_qZnsc  also give the video a thumbs up.

Okay so thats my June favourites please comment, share with your family and friends and please follow me on here and on twitter (@Mandybelleblog) Come back tomorrow to read tomorrows blog.

Bye Guys.

Dreams and Goals for the next 5 years

So I thought it would share my goals I set my self for the next 5 years or what I would like to happen.

My first one is to get at least 5 A* to C on my GCSE's. It seems so far away but I am actually counting down till the 21st of August because is when I get to go and collect them, I can tell you it's 53 days till I collect my results and I will be honest I am really scared about opening them because I found them really hard.

My second one is to get into the sixth form I want to get into, this is because it has my options that I really want to do and its a really nice school. I can't actually wait till i start and get back to doing the subjects i enjoy. I also would love to come out with amazing grades that will hopefully get me somewhere.

My third one is to go to university and come about with a good grade in an area I really enjoy and hopefully get me really successful job.

My fourth is to raise at least £200 and give it to charity. Also I think I would to like to give it Cancer research because it has been a big issue to my family.

My next one is one I know is going to happen because its for me to go back to Iceland. I originally went back in October 2013 and I have been given the opportunity to go back in February 2015 and is something I can't wait to do again. It is an amazing place and a place i would recommend.

This next one is one you might say I am too old for but it's something I didn't get to experience during my childhood and that is to go to Disney Land. I am planning to go with my sister and we both can't wait to go to. So it's just a matter of saving the money up now.

My next one is to learn to drive and to buy my first car. This is something that I feel that its something I feel I need to learn due to where I live, I actually feel like I live in the middle of no where. Also I would love to one day own a Mini or a Fiat 500 but I know it won't definitely be my first car.

Another one is for this Blog to be successful and feel like I am making people happy by writing this. Also I feel like if this turned out to successful I would start a vlog because I feel like I would be more confident.

My last one is to meet my idol who has inspired me to start a blog and who has actually inspired me in everything. My idol is Zoella she is just amazing and so honest, I feel like this is a person could help me be more confident.

Thank you for reading this guys, come back tomorrow for another post, please share this blog with all your family and friends. Also please subscribe and comment ideas for future posts. Also follow us on twitter @Mandybell

Top 20 Beauty Tips

Hey guys, so these are a few of my  top beauty tips that i feel will be useful to you guys I hope you enjoy.

1. Use conditioner instead of shaving gel, this makes the hairs softer meaning its easier to shave but also it leaves your legs feeling really soft. The soft feeling lasts much longer than it does when you use shaving gel.
2. So when you paint your nails and you have made a small mistakes, get a cotton bud and dip it in nail varnish remover then use that to neaten up your nails and get rid of the mistakes.
3. SMILE, we all have heard that smiles are contagious so we need to prove it smile at everyone you see today it will make them smile. Also you will always look much prettier when you smile and its the best accessory you will ever own, so wear it.
4. If you would say your hair was not in the best condition I would suggest combing through conditioner in the shower, this will definitely improve the condition of your hair.
5. Most people use their shampoo and conditioner because of the benefits it suggests, however if you don't change them you won't get the full and best benefits it advertises. So I recommend you change your product every now and then so you will receive the best benefits.
6. Try all the free samples that you are given or get in magazines because it a free way trying new products and you never know you might find a product that you will love and never stop using.
7. When your hair has lost all its volume spray dry shampoo into then blow your hair with a hair dryer then within minutes you have volumized hair without any water.
8. Always remember to remove ALL makeup before you go to bed this will reduce the chances of spots and blackheads meaning your skin will be clearer. 
9. If you find plucking your eyebrows painful I recommend doing it after you have come out of the shower because you will find that it will be less painful.
10. You need to keep hydrated this will allow your skin to stay clear and also allow it to have a healthy glow, they recommend that you drink 8 glasses of water.
11. You should apply sunscreen daily, especially to your face and neck because they are the parts that age the fastest.
12. If you want to stay healthy you need to remember to have a diet filled with fruit and veg.
13. So you don't look tired you need to make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep each night, this will stop you from looking tired.
14. When you about to paint your nails we all shake the bottles to loosen it but don't. Instead role it in your hands because shaking it will cause air bubbles.
15. This sounds really stupid but practice different facial expressions daily, this tones your facial muscles.
16. Everyday remember to laugh especially when you are stressed this will definitely help reduce your stress.
17. When removing nail varnish I recommend using a jay cloth these make it so easy to remove nail varnish. Also they are reusable, last forever and are really easy to find in shops seen as most supermarkets will sell them also places like wilkinsons will sell them.
18. Okay so your about to go out but you look really tired, I would definitely recommend putting ta bags on your eyes, obviously wet the tea bags but after a few minutes your eyes will look and feel refreshed.
19. If your what to have really nice nails without having to paint them then wait for them to dry, just place your nails in a bowl of lemon juice for a couple of minutes then pat them dry and they should look whiter then they did before. Obviously longer you leave them in the lemon juice whiter they look.
20. So if your hair is starting to look like it getting greasy and you are in a rush so don't have time to wash it, simply brush talcum powder through your hair and it will freshen up your hair.
