Top tips for revision | b1tsandbeautyy

Hello 
Is it just me or do tests and exams make you feel sick ? I absolutely hate them, purely because I am scared I haven't done enough revision, so that's why in this post I have decided to help you out with some of my best revision tips.

1- Buy new equipment 
when revising you need to make sure you have a clean and fresh page, so your mind can concentrate on the task. So buy a new notepad, pens and definitely highlighters or any types of colours.

2- Highlight/ colour things 
Visual aids will always help because your mind find them easier to memorise. So make sure when revising :  highlight/ underline a few key terms, draw some visual aids nearby, use colours that catch your eye so you can read it easier. 

3- Get away from distractions 
Make sure when revising you don't sit in a room with people chatting or the TV blaring because you will not be able to concentrate, so instead go into a room with no distractions and you could maybe turn on some quiet music that you enjoy to help with you getting into the revising mood. 

4- break the work up 
My teachers are forever saying this with things such as homework and recently I have discovered that in fact they are right. Make sure that you don't do your work the night before for hours on end instead an alternative could be that you do it for 30 minutes every night. 

That was my top 4 tips for revision. I hope this can in some way benefit at least 1 person, also if you are doing an exam anytime soon I wish you the best of luck and you can do it!!!
Until next time

Hey guys 
I really enjoy writing chatty blogs, so that's why I am doing another one and this one is all about you & the future, enjoy !! 

The future, I think is a very daunting  thought that gets processed through your mind every so often. The reason I say this is because when you think about it, the future is the biggest unknown element in your life. To me this is scary because you don't know what it will hold, good or bad. But at the same time we have a little controlling of  our futures.

Now the control we have we must use to benefit our future selfs and by this I mean is in a years time I will be taking my GCSE exams which will determine my qualifications and jobs for the future, so I must ensure that I reach the best grades I can to help myself out in the future and this could be carried out in all different aspects of life. Another example of this could be in sports, an area which I don't particularly enjoy but I realise that if Istart  exercising more than I will become more fit and my health will benefit in the future.

The main point I am trying to reach is that we can't control our futures but the little control we have we must use to benefit our life for the future 
Until next time 
Lots of love

Makeup Starter kit | b1tsandbeautyy

Hello everyone 
Today's post is another makeup post because i really enjoy writing makeup posts at the moment. This post is all about helping people who are starting out with makeup !! This post is also a collab with the wonderful Freya (@blondeblogger18). Enjoy ! 

1- Powder 
Powder is probably the first makeup product I ever bought because powder is really easy to apply and also you can blend it well so it won't look like you are wearing anything. The first powder I purchased was from MUA which I think is a perfect company to buy from when you are first starting out with powder. Even though now I have Rimmel Londons Stay matte. 

2- Concealer 
Concealer is another good thing to have as for me I found that it helped me cover up blemishes when I wasn't so comfortable with my skin. I think again when you are first starting to wear makeup you shouldn't buy really expensive makeup, so I use to buy Rimmel Londons' wake me up concealer.


3- Bronzer/ Blusher
I think adding more colour/ definition to your face is key because the last thing I would want is to end up looking like a powdery ghost !! My first blusher and bronzer was again bought from MUA and I think that they were very good and also a very reasonable price.

4- Eyeshadow 
I don't think this is a must have item but I really enjoyed trying out eyeshadow looks when I was first experimenting with makeup and I think that it is nice to have a small eyeshadow palette. I think that the collection eyes uncovered pallette is a really nice pallette to have. It is also non expensive and is pretty good.

5- Mascara 
Now to me I absolutely love mascara so much and I believe that it is a key item but you don't want to go from wearing no mascara to wearing a dark clumpy black mascara. So i would get a brown coloured mascara as its viable but not too visible, a really good one is Rimmel Londons extra super lash in brown.

That's it for this week my lovelies !!! I hope you have enjoyed. A massive thank you to Freya ( @blondeblogger18) For collaborating with me. I will leave her blog linked below 
Until next time
Love you lots

Top 5 Lip Products | b1tsandbeautyy

Hello Everyone 
Today's blog post is about my favourite lip products at the moment !! The products featured are all drugstore and non expensive ! Enjoy

5- MUA shade 11 
This is a pretty good lipstick because it is £1 from superdrug, which I think is amazing but also I was surprised at the good quality of the lipstick. It is full of pigmentation and also is quite moisturising and that's why it made it to number 5 on my list ! 
4- Makeup Revoulution ( Rebel with a cause) 
This is number 4 on my list because I think the colour comes off more of a deep red than a purple but is nice a pigmented and also isn't dry. This is also only £1 from superdrug.

3- Max Factor ( Feline red) 
This is the prettiest red colour ever ! I is also super moisturising and has really lovely packaging. I am not sure of the price as I got it as a present but i believe that it is around £5.99.

2- Kate Moss lipstick ( 05 ) 
I purchased this a few days ago, as this was my first Kate moss lipstick I wasn't sure what to expect but I absolutely adore it. The colour is so beautiful and it has beautiful sleek packaging.
1- Stila ( Meg) 
I am obsessed with this lipstick and think that it is the prettiest packaging. It also is a nice nude colour and is the most moisturising on my lips. It is usually around £16 but I got it for £5.99 at my local outlet centre. 

That's it for this blog, I hope you have enjoyed !  I would love to hear what your favourite lip products are !! 
Until next time 
Lots of love

Spotty Skin | b1tsandbeautyy

Hey everyone 
Today's blogpost is all about spots and the reason I am doing this blog is to help guide you guys in your spot troubles. 

I have battled with whiteheads and blackheads alot  (so far ) .So for this blog I am going to give you some tips on how to help get rid of your spots. 

Make sure to wash your face. Now by this I mean wash it with a face cloth and cleansing facial wash, because just water doesn't really work.

Try Spot creams and blemish sticks.
Just experiment, buy as much as you can and you will soon find what works for you, trust me. I personally really like the witch blemish stick.
- Don't wear as much makeup - Now I know how annoying it is when you want to wear makeup but you don't want to aggravate the spots so maybe wear less makeup.

- Drink more Water - i have recently been drinking a lot more water and has seen a huge improvement in my skin and I have been getting a lot less spots.

- To get rid of blackhead - I had many blackheads on my nose and the best solution is to get nose strips, they hurt but work really well.

So that's it's for today's blog, I hope you found it useful. If you have anymore tips I would love to here them ! 
Lots of love

Hello 
Unfortunately I didn't get round to posting on Tuesday but I am posting today !! I was going to do a tag but then I decided to do a chatty blog because I got good feedback on my last one, so consequently I have decided to do another and this one is going to be about friendship. 

To me friendship is like a whole new world and something that everyone will experience throughout their lives. I have had many amazing friendships and still do, all of which I am truly grateful for. 

But unfortunately not all friendships end well as I have experienced. 
Not long ago I had a really great friendship with a girl who was very similar to me. We had many days out together, slept round each others houses and we became very close and I was go as far as to call us best friends. We were friends for about a year and a half, but then things started to go wrong and she decided to move on to other people, but to this day I never fully knew why she abandoned our friendship and now she hardly looks at me at school, which really hurt me. 
Nevertheless I have a really big group of people who I am really close with now and they make me laugh so much and I really value all of our friendships. 

Anyway what I am trying to get out of this is that when it comes to friendships what I have learnt is that some people will come and go but you should always look out for these special people who are kind, caring, funny and honest because to me these are the good friends in life. 
"Good friends are like the stars, you don't always see them but you know they are always there"

Love

Ps. I would like to dedicate this blog to my squad, I love you guys :)

New Years resolutions 2016 | b1tsandbeautyy

Hello Everyone 
Happy new year !!! So today's post is the typical blog you would expect to find at the start of a New Year. Now I will probably not be able to stick to these but I will give it my best go. I have come up with my top 5 resolutions.

1- Drink more water.
I really don't drink enough and get dehydrated on a regular basis, also water is meant to hydrate your skin and fight fatigue (tiredness).

2- Stop procrastinating 
This is one of my worst habits, if I don't want to do something I will do anything else to not be able to do it and it really needs to stop as if I don't work hard I will lose out. 

3- Revise More 
This is kind of the same issue as the procrastination, I absolutely hate revising I think it is the most boring thing to have to do (with school) and I need to revise as  I have exam week coming up 

4- Start running 
I like running,but I am to lazy to do it... I do exercise but I feel like it's not enough and if I start running it will improve my health and body. 

5- be more productive 
What I mean by this is usually I have days where I feel like doing nothing and I really want that to stop so I need to be more productive. Some examples may be : walk my dog, bake something etc. 

Well I hope you have enjoyed this blog, I would love to hear a New Years resolution of yours below 
Lots of love
