The Secret - Rhonda Byrne


This isn't your normal pick up and get into a good story and not one I'd normally reach for but when a friend at work said it was amazing and really helped her become more positive I decided I ought to give it a read.

The book and the film were both released in 2006 after Rhonda Byrne discovered a great secret after a series of traumatic events. She includes teachers and some of the world leaders of business, economics, medicine, psychology, history, theology and science. She also writes about real life stories of people who have changed their lives by using the secret. Examples are eradicating disease, gaining a large fortune, overcoming obstacles and achieving the impossible. This book shows you how to use the secret in every area of life, from health to wealth, success and relationships.

If you like an easy read I wouldn't recommend reading this. Although it's not a long book some parts really do make you think. I felt I had to read quite far in to actually understand some bits but thats probably just me. I agree with some parts but don't with others but it's all down to individual interpretation and experience. There are many reviews as to whether it actually works and it didn't for me but I don't think it matters. It definitely helps you to focus on what you want and to think more positively so for me this is a successful read

My Naked Palette

When I saw all the reviews and the huge hype I didn't really take it in but I'm so glad I eventually did. I can't express words for this product. I am absolutely in love! My sister was kind enough to buy this as my birthday present and I've used it everyday since. I chose this out of the three as this had a range of browny warm shades that I adore and they're laid out in pairs which I thought would be a bit easier to use as I've only recently delved into the world of eyeshadow.

The shades in this palette are great for everyday looks as well as evening looks. A perfect all rounder in my opinion. My favourite shade is half baked because I love gold, most of my jewellery is gold as silver is a colder colour and I want some warmth in my life as british weather never seems to bring it (although it has a bit over the past week).

The quality is amazing, they're very pigmented due to the pigment infusion system used. This holds the pigment tightly together and they therefore last all day without smudging or melting off like cheaper eyeshadows do. Although Urban Decay palettes are a lot of money I definitely think its worth it as eyeshadows always seem to last ages for me and you get 12 good quality shades with the three palettes as well as samples with each one.

MUA Matte Lipstick Review

Wild Berry  £1.00

I was looking for a dark berry lipstick a few months ago and decided to pick this up in Superdrug. This is the perfect colour, exactly what I was on the hunt for and a pound!! My mum loves MUA's number 9 and uses it all the time so I thought I'd give this a try.

This shade on the internet is purple and the picture shows it as a brown but it's more of a burgundy red colour.

These lipsticks are great as they're so affordable and perfect for someone who's experimenting with lipstick. It enables people to find a colour to suit them without splashing the cash. I've used this over the past couple of months and have continued to love the colour but the matte consistency made it hard to apply as it didn't just glide on at first (as described on the website). This therefore make it look a bit like a lip tint but if you layer it up it does become bolder and the more you use it the more it does glide on.  Due to the fact it is a matte lipstick I thought it would dry out my lips but it didn't at all, it felt really moisturising. I did however tend to use a lip gloss over the top or mix it with another lipstick (thats probably against beauty rules) so the colour was more pigmented.  I wouldn't say it lasted all day but it does smell amazing and I would definitely recommend!
