Revolution Cosmetics

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days, but with this beautiful weather I've really been taking advantage and it's been tiring me out by late afternoon. Anyway I wanted to talk about this brand I recently discovered a couple of months ago called Revolution. I've been using several of their products and I couldn't be any happier with them. They're such good quality, the eyeshadows are really pigmented and last all day and blend beautifully. So many gorgeous colours to choose from to create a different look everyday, and at their heart stopping-ly low prices, I have difficulty staying away from their website or raiding my closest Superdrug!

Here is a quick word from their website...

"Makeup Revolution launched in London in March 2014 delivering revolutionary performance and quality, in every product at revolutionary prices. Made with the finest ingredients, the range starts at an amazing £1.00, with a range of professional and must have products with limited edition collections – you can finally afford them all!"

Fresh Faced

I've made it clear that I absolutely love make-up. It makes me feel all brand new, I can be whoever I want to be. But there's truly no better feeling than waking up in a good mood and being happy with who you see in the mirror. It's not often that I have days like that, so I really appreciate them when they come along. I am really quite an insecure person and I put myself down a lot, which I think most women do. But it's so lovely to wake up feeling happy with who I am, and not feel a strong desire to change myself. I wish I could wake up like that everyday. We are all beautiful without makeup. As nice as it is to do yourself up, I hope you all are able to see your inner beauty, and be proud of who you are.

And to quote Eminem...
"God gave you them shoes to fit you, so put them on and wear them. Be yourself, be proud of who you are. And even if it sounds corny, never let no one tell you, you aint beautiful".

My Review... The Jungle Book

So today I went to see the new jungle book film. I had been intrigued since it was first advertised, and I must say, I was rather disappointed. Baloo's character didn't resemble the original in my opinion, and the new rendition of The Bare Necessities gave no justice to the original. King Louis' personality reminded me somewhat of a mafia drug lord, and feel his musical solo did not fit in at all.

Although it started out good, with Shere Khan appearing early on and hooking me in. And Scarlett Johansson's portrait of Kaa was unique and inspiring, a brilliant twist, I think, on the original cartoon.

But all in all, my Son enjoyed the movie very much and left happy. So I have included a photo taken on our little family day out.

Family Day

So today I am on a family day out with my boyfriend and our Son. We're going to watch the new Jungle Book movie and have lunch at Toby Carvery. It's not often we get to go out and do stuff as a family so I really treasure days like today. I was so looking forward to it that I've been up since 5:30 getting ready! Will put a review of the film up later today. Happy weekend everyone!

Fake Tan

So to cheer myself up after a long day, I've had a lovely relaxing bath with some Radox Muscle Therapy, and I have faked tanned. I haven't done it a long time, and I felt like I needed a pick-me-up. Apparently the weather is supposed to be really nice this weekend. So keeping my fingers crossed that it's worth it.

Its Been A Bad Day...

So today I received some bad news. After having to leave work in March due to my mental health, I had to apply for ESA and PIP. I was granted my ESA after 3 months with no income, but I have now received the result from my PIP application and the DWP have ruled that I do not qualify. This judgement has purely been made on the fact that I am physically able to do things. They haven't taken into account that I have a lifelong mental illness which is unpredictable and changes condition on a daily basis. Its not missing out on that extra money that I'm upset about, its the fact that my condition has been underestimated and I feel like my illness has been invalidated. I've been discharged from CMHT, but where's the following support? I'm enrolled with the Recovery College, but I still haven't received news of any courses suitable to my needs. I'm not in a fit state to work, so where's the support there?

The biggest disappointment of all this, is that I will have no choice but to return to work in September, whether I'm am capable to do so or not. This in turn means giving up studying for my Level 3 beauty qualification, which is a necessity to work in most beauty salons.

But to be able to support my son, and keep a roof over our heads and food on the table, it's something I'm going to have grin and bare with. I know working is second nature to most people, and this is a very controversial subject, but getting a job, and holding one down just isn't as easy for people like me who struggle finding the will to face each day.

Hopefully I will manage to find a job in beauty, as its what I really love and would hate to waste the past year I spent gaining my qualification as a beauty therapist. I shall be updating my CV this weekend. But for now I think tonight calls for a long hot bath and a drink. Happy thoughts everyone!
