Review: Joursna Professional Brush

 Not to long ago my sister needed a new make-up brush for her foundation, and she opted for a rounded tip one for foundation.

The review? It is a great alternative to more expensive brushes such as Real Techniques make up brushes. Especially a temporary one for student pockets. It was a lovely soft rounded brush, absolutely packed with plush bristles and easily blended which sped up Hannah's morning routine *woohoo*. An absolute miracle considering I can get ready quicker before she says 'foundation!' Also the unique shape of the handle made it great to hold. So overall it could easily rival top market brands!
What is your foundation brush like? Is it up to scratch or do you long for a new, all-the-range one ready to rival others? Let me know!

Devon 2013: Day #2 OOTD

Day two was busy again. But the weather was beautiful, I had my family and a stunning town, what else can I need *cringe for the sickening cheesiness*. 

We took the chance to go to a local castle and explore the gardens, vintage arcade games, and absolutely beautiful interior design. I'm a complete fool when it comes to old fashioned houses and lifestyle, sigh.

We viewed a Light show originally invented in the 1920's.

The castle was filled with vintage and classic memorabilia.

This Old Bell system used to alert servants reminds me of Dowton Abbey!

Vintage arcade games and machines.

The fudge (homemade!) was delicious too.

I fell in love with this spade and trowel sculpture, it reminds me of Claes Oldenburg's work.

The gardens were like a dream or fairyland!

Devon 2013: Day #1

Summer is here, and to enforce the sunny arrival, me and my family have recently gone to Devon (South-West of England) for a holiday. Every year we go camping and have a day out each day during that period. This year has been no different.

So my next few entries will be my experience of Devon through photos.
Day one was the tedious 'pack everything in the car and hope it fits day', which surely called for lazy/confy travel clothes. 3 hours later and the tent set up it was time for a walk and local beach visit. Perfect! The views were beautiful and it was a lovely, traditional seaside town experience.

The Campsite (all above photos) was beautiful! I felt privileged to stay there.

The beach was just as lush and scenic as the town, look a little windswept here!

This made me giggle so I had to snap it! Fits me perfectly.

Also the Newberry Valley campsite had it's own USP (unique selling point) to offer. It was situated right next to a Wolf Hybrid sanctuary! (owned by Shaun Ellis). Yes you read right, we could here them howl every evening, to which I'm still deciding whether it was completely eerie or really wonderful. They even walked them through the park on leads. Read here to learn more, it is so fascinating, in 2005 Ellis spent 18 months living in captivity at Combe Martin Wildlife Park with three abandoned wolf pups - Yana, Tamaska and Matsi, educating them to be wild wolves and becoming the pack's alpha male.
