Big Hero 6 - MOVIE REVIEW!

Hi guys so if you read yesterdays post- you better of read yesterday's post! haha- you will know that I wasn't planning on blogging over the weekend but I decided I wanted to talk to you about a movie I recently saw, now this isn't a type of post I usually do and with all the book reviews and movie reviews I plan to do, I can't really call myself a beauty and fashion blogger anymore ha.


Ok so the film that I am going to talk to you about today, is of course, Big Hero 6. From the minute I saw the adverts with this cute white marshmallow-type guy, I wanted to see it. I melt when it comes to cute characters, like they will be who I'm sticking by through out the whole film even if it isn't actually about them.

Now I'm not going to go into too much detail about the film because it's fairly new so there's a big chance that not all of you will have seen it but this film blew me away. I watched this supposed children's Disney film not knowing what it was going to be about and honestly me and Alex were laughing through the majority of the film. I really feel like Disney are trying to expand there age range, now I know they make more grown up films like Pirates Of The Caribbean and The Avengers but what I mean is, animated film are usually aimed for children where as Disney seem to be expanding that, like when I watched Frozen, I know so many young girls aged 3-8 who love Frozen but some of the content in Frozen like what happens to their parents I just don't feel like that's aimed for a three year old, I'm not saying I wouldn't let my daughter watch this, infact she loves this film but a three year old wouldn't understand what had happened, maybe even an 8 year old wouldn't, one minute the parents are leaving for a trip and the next minute they're gone forever. This was the same with a character in Big Hero 6.

You can tell when you watch Big Hero 6 that it is aimed for maybe more grown up children as there are mentions of puberty and death. Over all though I loved this film and I am no way hating on Disney or anything, I love Disney, who doesn't? I thought this film was so funny and it had such a good storyline, I got quite confused at the end but after Alex explained I completely understood, I loved this so much that I have ordered myself a bit of Big Hero 6 merchandise, which I will share with you when it comes soon! I really recommend this film, whether you are 12 or 85, it is an amazing film too the point where I wanted to watch it again the next day.

So that's it for today guys, I'm not sure whether there will be a post tomorrow or not, I guess you'll have to wait and see. I love you guys so much for all the support you are giving me, especially you guys on Bloglovin', I hope you enjoy my future posts and I'll see you soon.

Favourite Affordable Lip Product!




Hi guys so today I'm going to share with you my favourite affordable lipsticks, so basically lipsticks you can afford on a budget that I personally love. Sorry to those of you that have been waiting for my post all day, I've been busy today and haven't had a chance to blog for you but here is the post...


My first two favourite lipsticks are by Gosh and they are in the colours Cappuccino and Innocent. I usually wear these colours when I'm going for a simple make up look but the quality of the lipsticks overall are amazing. From Superdrug these lipsticks cost £6.99 each and I really recommend them, also the black packaging is amazing and I love that the actually stick has 'GOSH' engraved into it.

My next favourite lipstick is by Maybelline and it's the Super Stay 24 Colour and mine is in the colour Eternal Sunset. I've mentioned this lipstick before as it used to be my everyday lipstick but as all you beauty enthusiasts will of experienced, I go through faces of brands,colours, styles. I've tried other colours in this make and I think they are all amazing and I definitely want to pick up more of these lipstick/glosses. When I think of lipglosses, I think of those lumpy, glittery ones that you used to get on the front of a magazine when you were a young girl but This is not, once it is on your lips it goes matte and then you can either leave it like that, like I do or apply the balm on the other end which gives it a glossy effect. Which is why whenever I talk about this product, I class it as a lipstick. This product costs £8.99 from most drugstores like Boots or Superdrug.

My next product is by Rimmel, This is a lip pen and it's the Lasting Finish Colour Rush, I own two, one in the colour Viva Violet, which is the one I'm favoriting for this post and the other one I have is in the colour Keep Mauving. I think these lip pens are so good, they apply so easily and last all day, I apply mine and then put my Stay Matte powder over the top to give it a matte finish but I do that with all my lip products because I'm not a massive fan of glossy lips. This product costs £5.99.

My final lip product is also by Maybelline and its the Baby Lips Lip Balm, I own two, a coloured one, which I don't really use but I also have the plain lip balm which I am constantly applying too my lips when I'm in bed. I get really dry and chapped lips so I've always got a lip balm at hand but this one is a definite favourite, this is not very expensive as it cost me £2.99, you can most likely buy this anywhere that sells Maybelline products.


So that's it for today guys, It is very unlikely that I will be blogging over the weekend but you can keep up with what I'm doing by following me on my Instagram @kirafelicialindxn and I will be back with another post on Monday, make sure to keep leaving me comments, I always get excited when I see a comment on a post and it really keeps me enthusiastic about posting.

MUA Haul!


Hi guys so today I'm going to be doing a haul for you! The other day I ordered some bits from MUA and they came today. They came so quick which I'm super happy about. As you may be wondering, no I'm not meant to be blogging today but I've decided that I'm going to try and start blogging a lot more because I find my self wanting to blog pretty much everyday ha! Ok, so lets get started with the haul...



So the first thing I bought was MUA's new Spring Break Eyeshadow Palette. I haven't tried this yet but I can see myself using it a lot during spring because it has some nice pale colours and some are matte and some are shimmery. This item cost me £4.00, which I think is really good for a palette.

The next item I bought was the Lash Boom Mascara. I actually used this today and I loved it! The brush is the perfect shape for coating all your lashes, even those small ones in the corners of your eye.
This item was £3.00 and in my opinion, this item is worth so much more, especially as I know Rimmel do a similar one for around £6.00 (depending on where you buy from.)

Link- http://www.muastore.co.uk/lash-boom


This next item is the MUA Luxe Voluminous Felt Liner. I also used this today and if you like fat liner then this is perfect for you. It could be because I've never used a felt liner before really but I ended up with eye liner the thickness of nearly my whole eyelid. It's a good coverage though so I still say it is a good product and this cost me £3.00.

These next three little items are the MUA £1 Nail Polish. They currently have a 3 for 2 offer on but at £1 each you can't really complain anyway. To me these nail varnishes remind me a lot of the Essie Nail Varnishes. Not only do these look pretty but they also cover really well, Today I am wearing Truffle Cream and the other two polishes I bought are in the colours Bold Blue and Pistachio Ice Cream. They have a range of colours which I think are perfect for spring and summer,

These next items, when I ordered them I thought were going to be like my Rimmel colour blast lipstick pens but when they actually came I realised that they are the MUA Power Pout Lip Tints. I've never used a lip tint before so when I tried one out this morning I was really surprised that I actually really liked how it looked, As you can see I bought three of these, today I am wearing Crazy In Love and the other two are called Rendezvous and Justify. I wished they had more of a colour range because I would really like to get more of these, especially as they were only £1.00 each.

Link- http://www.muastore.co.uk/lips/lip-colour-tint


This next item, I tried today and now I am never going back. This is the Pout Prime Smoothing Lip Primer. I'd never even considered using a lip primer before, usually I would just apply some vaseline too my lips before apply make up but with this lip primer, I don't need to and it just makes my lips look so good and they feel smooth as well. This item was £3.00, which I think is amazing for the money, if it was me I'd be charging at least £5 because it is such a good item.

Link- http://www.muastore.co.uk/pout-prime

The good thing about MUA is that they also sell a range of brushes. The two brushes I picked up are the E9 Socket Blending brush and the F7 Small Fan brush. I used these both today, they are such good quality and I will definitely be buying more, maybe even the brush holder. The brushes I bought cost £1.95. Prices range depending on the type but I will link below the page to all the brushes.

Ok guys so that's it for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another post, so look out for that and I hope you enjoyed this post and make sure you check out the MUA online store and make sure you leave me a comment of what posts you'd like to see.

February Book Reviews!



Hi guys so as you know, I now own a Kindle Fire which means I've been reading! This month I've read two books, which are IT by Alexa Chung and Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes. Today I'm going to be reviewing these books for you.

So the first book, IT by Alexa Chung I had mixed feelings about, I started off really loving this book but then towards the middle i started to get quite bored. Don't get me wrong I loved the images and detail and I love that this book is like Miss Chung is just having a very long and pointless conversation with you but at points in the book it just really lacked entertainment. Towards the end of the book, I started to enjoy the book a bit more. When it came to reviewing the book on Good Reads, I rated this book at 3/4 stars, I completely stand by my rating because 3/4 is probably how much of the book I enjoyed. I do really recommend the book though, if you like reading biography style/ non-fiction books about fashion. Its a really good book for encouraging people to find their own style and not copy what everyone else is doing.


The next book Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes is the perfect coffee table book, To start with I tried to read the book all the way through but then towards the middle I started to realise that it wasn't that type of book because I got to chapters about anti-aging, which I don't really need to read but there were chapter I loved, like the ones about her personal expierences as a teen and about make up, from contouring to lipstick. I also like that Sali Hughes talks about brands she recommends and products that aren't nessecerray buys. I also loved that she shared her skin care routine and what make up she wears on a daily basis. I rated this book on Good Reads at 4/5, there isn't really anything wrong with this book, its more the fact that it isn't the type of book you can really give a 5/5 because like I said, its a coffee table book, I can definitely see myself flicking through this book when I need to know information on something, like the best brushes or new techniques to try. I really recommend this book to all beauty gurues or people who really enjoy all things beauty. The book is also good for young people who are thinking about trying out make up as the author talks about her make mistakes as a child and she also has a section where she recommends what products a young teen should use when firsts starting make up. There's just so much about this book I loved, so I really recommend it.

Ok, guys so that's it for todays post, make sure you come back for more posts and follow me on my Instagram at @kirafelicialindxn

Top February Buys!





Hi guys so today I'm going to share with you a few items that I'm so glad I bought this month. I've bought alot this month but these 5 items are items that have really made a difference and helped me. I don't have photos of all the items but I will link what I can and prices.

So the first item I'm so glad I bought this month is my real techniques brush set by Sam and Nic. I've never really used brushes before but I love these brushes, I use them everyday for foundation, eyeshadow,powder and contouring and they always leave my make up looking amazing. My brush set cost me around £20. I really recommend these brushes whether you use brushes everyday or not.

U.S- https://realtechniques.com/shop-collection/core-collection
UK- http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Core-Collection-1403_1252038/

The next item is the Barry M Brow Kit, I use this everyday now instead of a normal eyeshadow and I think it makes my eyebrows look so much better. Whenever I used eyeshadow it always made my eyebrows look really fluffy where as this brow powder makes them look amazing. The kit consists of a highlighting powder, the brow powder and a brow jel for when you've finished. I bought this product from boots and it cost me £5.99 so a really affordable price.

U.S- I don't know if Barry M is sold in the U.S so i'm not sure where you could buy this other that Amazon or Ebay.
UK- http://www.boots.com/en/Barry-M-Brow-Kit-4-5g_1450686/

This next item is nothing to do with your face ha! And that is my travel mug. I've not actually traveled with it other that up the stairs from the kitchen but I use it at night because I find it a lot safer for me in bed because I'm very likely to spill drinks, the only fault with this cup is that it takes me about 10 minutes to get the lid on! I bought my travel mug from Peacocks so I wont be able to link it for you as they don't sell there 'home' stuff online but it was £4 and I will like similar items.

My next favourite buy of this month is my Kindle Fire HD6. It has reduced the amount of storage taken up on my phone by loads. You may not know this but I have an Iphone 5C and I have the 8GB and because apple feel the need to fill the phone with loads of factory apps, I'm left with hardly any storage. I use my phone for taking most of my photos when I'm out and all my apps so I'm left with no storage for my music. I contemplated getting an Ipod but I've been wanting to read a lot more this year so the Kindle was the perfect option for me. I got mine on Amazon, obviously! and it cost me £99 and I have the 16GB.

U.S- http://www.amazon.com/Fire-HD-Display-Wi-Fi-GB/dp/B00KC6I06S/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1424459926&sr=1-1&keywords=kindle+fire+hd6

My final item is my Soap And Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray. I use this mostly before I go to bed just so that I'm getting into bed with that flirty scent on me. When I bought this, as I've said before, it wasn't the scent I thought it was going to be, I was hoping for the Soap And Glory Hand Food scent but I love the scent it has anyway and I really recommend it if you want to smell nice but perfume is too expensive or too strong for you. I bought mine from boots and it cost me £3.50

U.S-http://www.amazon.com/Soap-Glory-Madly-spray-250ml/dp/B001RMUN66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424460912&sr=8-1&keywords=soap+and+glory+mist+you+madly

So that's it for today guys and I'll see you in my next post.

Sanctuary Spa Peptide Replenish Night Cream!




Hi guys so today I'm going to be reviewing a product for you and the product I'm going to be reviewing for you today is the Sanctuary Spa Peptide Replenish Night Cream. So I hope you enjoy this type of post because I haven't done a post like this so far. Please leave comments on what you'd like to see more of and I'll be sure to take them in mind.

So I came across this product when I was having a browse around the shops a few weeks ago and coincidently the night before I had borrowed a night cream because my face was really hot and red after cleansing. I cannot remember the brand of the high end product I used but it was really good.
Anyway so when I saw this I immediately grabbed it off the shelf and threw it in the basket. I bought this product at only £5 so at that price I knew I had to get it and for the quality of the packaging you would think it was high end and a lot more expensive. 

When I got home I read the packaging of the product and saw that it had lavender oil in it. Now I'm allergic to lavender so obviously you see my issue and the product got put away at the back of the shelf. Until last night. Once again my face was really flushed after cleansing and I remembered I had this product, I knew I wasn't doing anything the next day so I took my chances and used the product, too my surprise I was fine.

I found this weird as usually even one touch of a lavender product brings me out in a rash and this didn't but anyway I was so happy with how the product performed, it cooled my skin right down and made my face feel amazing. I really recommend this product, although if you are allergic to lavender maybe don't be as stupid as me and try it because it could cause you a lot of irritation.

So that's it for today, make sure you keep an eye out for my next post. Make sure to comment as I love reading them and I also love following new blogs so make sure to comment your blog address aswell. You can also follow me on instagram @kirafelicialindxn
