Review of the Perks of Being a Wallflower

   Review of the Perks of Being a Wallflower 



I finally got round to reading the most talked about book of 2014, as I promised myself I wouldn't watch the movie before I read the book to make a better comparison. In all honesty I was expecting this book to be about a teen who managed to get in with a popular group of people at school and become absorbed in it until something dreadful happens as most teen novels project this idea. 

However I'm extremely pleased to say this book is FAR from the ordinary melodramatic teen novel. This book deals with not just the average high school issues that young teens face but talks about issues such as mental illness, pregnancy, self worth, loss of loved ones and discovering ones self all in ONE novel. 

Chbosky highlights all these problems through the first person perspective of Charlie, a socially awkward young teen entering his freshman year of high school. The plot gradually builds up from the beginning until we are clouded by all these issues that are given to us so point blank with no solution we begin to feel angry that Charlie is accepting all this. Even stranger too is his behaviour, of which the author justifies, develops the character of Charlie, in my eyes beautifully. 

The authors has gone as far to alter his writing from the beginning when Charlie hasn't much in the way of literary talent into easily read literature as Charlie develops his skills from his English teacher who takes a personal interest into Charlie. Because of this I am not surprised this book is so very critically acclaimed and has a die hard following. 

Finally I implore that anyone who has had any thoughts of reading this book to do so. It made me think further into my high school experience and the people surrounding me. I can't wait to see the film and I hope it lives up to the novel. 

Message me below on your thoughts on either book or film!!

Dream Team -
 Pillow Spray and Stress Less Roller Ball
Review

The first time using this product I was highly sceptical over the product idea that by using this I would sleep better or "stress less". I was drawn in however by its pretty designed packaging and other beauty gurus reviews on it. I quickly found out its good and bad points


I fell in love with the pillow spray and found it extremely effective. After two small spritz's I went into a deep slumber. The only problem was that in the morning I woke up feeling slightly drowsy and I am still unsure why. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a minor difficulty sleeping.



The stress less product on the other hand I wasn't as impressed with. I was hoping it would help my stress levels decrease as promised on the product yet I wasn't even sure how to apply it!! Never the less I managed to inhale it. I didn't feel as relaxed as hoped I assume the idea behind this is for the consumer to breathe easier thus feeling calmer. This didn't exactly work for me but I could be a different case. If anyone else had a different experience please leave it in the comment section!!

Here's a link incase anyone is interested in the product : http://uk.spacenk.com/dream-team/MUK200011259.html

Benefit new gift set " World famous neutrals "

Yesterday I acquired the pallet "Eyenessa's easiest nudes ever". My inclination to the gift set was how it contained two gorgeous creamy eyeshadows. The tips and tricks for the day to night eye looks were basic and completely expected, no suprises although simple and flattering for the eyes,nothing too dramatic. Perfect for a beginner in make up looking for a starter kit into make up.








My favourite pressed shadow of the bunch was "thanks a latte". A cute play on words and also a shimmery coffee colour with gold specks of glitter running throughout the pallet. A pop of unexpected gold in a regular eye look would, in my opinion be the bed way to wear it. Maybe in the outer crease or more toward the inner corner.


My least favourite was the 'pinky swear'. I'm not so sure  why it was paced into this collection however I have no use at all for the colour .I was unimpressed by its colour pay off and it will most likely be the colour in my collection that will never hit pan.

Cream eyeshadows. I was delighted with the two cream based eye shadows provided with they're colours seemingly sliding onto the lid and staying there for a long space of time. Out of both of them I leaned more towards 'r.s.v.p'. This colour is a peculiar dark pink that would be perfect in the inner corner of the eye to brighten.

Overall I would give this set an 8/10. For the price and the amount of wearable colours it would be a fantastic set for a newcomer into the make up scene.
