Younique 3d moonstruck lashes

So today I received my younique 3d moonstruck lashes and was super excited to try them as I'm a big mascara fan and not a fan of fake lashes, so was eager! 

The packaging is super cute and good quality looks like a glasses case! Inside came two mascaras, one was a transplanting gel, the other fiber lashes. 

The instructions say to apply your own mascara at first and to allow to dry, then to add transplanting gel, one eye at a time, then before it dries to add fiber lashes then immediately after to add the transplanting gel again. A lot to take it for the first time using it! Using it I can see the difference and in the picture added I've used a jet black eyeliner to add extra drama, but I'm so disappointed because I was really routing for this one and expecting some miracles! The turn out is pretty much the same as my gosh mascara that I had blogged about before. The fiber lash is like fluff on a stick and is very annoying if you get it in your eye. And it will find its way out of the tube on to the floor, just a heads up! 

I will be using again maybe at my next cheerleading competition, but the upside is it doesn't smudge like most do on the under eye.. But too much applying I can't help but think if I'm applying this much as my other mascara then I'm positive it will get the same results. 

Younique isn't as heavy as it may look on your eyelashes so that's another good feature. 

Overall ok, but very much like any other volumising mascara I have come across!

Chapter two: smaller waist trainer!

So after just over a month I have finally moved on to a smaller size waist trainer! I was using my other size for about 2-3 weeks max and noticed a change in myself only after a couple of days and needed a smaller size since then so I stopped wearing it, maintaining my new size until my smaller size came, which was yesterday! (09/04/2015)

The smaller size is intense yet still comfortable to wear all day, this one doesn't push up my boobs as the other esbelt did, this one is a Ann chery. Definitely feeling myself being pulled in more than the other one and this one has three lines of hooks for when I need to go down in size! Noticing a difference within myself the moment I put it on, feeling a difference in my posture as this one doesn't allow you to slouch as much as the other one did. 

Really happy with this one! 

Waist trainer update!

It has only been 6 days since I began my obsession with my new waist trainer and I'm already seeing and feeling differences! 

The change in my diet is first and foremost, as the way it's designed is to suck you in to eat less that in itself is working, and I can see in the mirror my figure looks smaller! Here's the picture I took earlier today as I was baby free for a couple of hours!!

NCA Nationals day 2- finals!!

Wow what a day day two was! Certainly started and went throughout the day with a bang!! As I mention in my day 1 blog a lot of people were questioning California Allstars' Smoed, who in the end placed 8th with Brandon Senior Black placed NCA national grand champions! That included a full paid bid to worlds, a first edition NCA cheer ring, NCA grand champ flag and of the course the famous champion jacket everyone came for, they also broke the record for NCA scoring!! History has been made.. 

With Cheer Extreme senior elite changing their routine from day 1, they competed 12 double ups, changed their music, dance and tumble section and placing second with only 0.03 points to make it first the audience knew that it was going to be a extraordinary day!! 

For anybody who missed it, I've posted the results from day 2 (or day three of you counted dance on Friday!) 

I hope everyone came home from Dallas safe!

New waist trainer

So this morning was an exciting one!! 

My waist trainer which I had been contemplating for the longest time had been delivered! I was so excited the parcel got ripped open and put it on straight away, I've been wearing it since I got it 10am (it's now 20:00) and have noticed a difference within myself. 

It doesn't only concentrate on your waist it pushes your boobs up giving it a lift while wearing it and also when you take it off, you can notice it too. My posture is correct as I don't find myself slouching over as much and the waist trainer is comfortable enough to wear all day! 

My one is in a nude colour so is easy to wear under something, without it being to obvious your wearing one it has a soft rubber feel so your clothes don't roll up! 

Amazing so far, too excited to see the results as it says it's proven to shift 2 inches from you. We'll see!!

NCA cheerleading nationals, Dallas Texas

What an amazing first day so much to keep up, everyone has new rhinestoned uniforms, flight cancellations, unexpected results and ties! 

A lot of people were counting on California Allstars' Smoed to do well on the first day however they placed 6th, day one only counts as 25% of your score and day two counts as 75%. They will do well as I'm sure everyone there is aiming for the new and improved nca champion jacket and hitting zero deductions to be the winner! 

Day two is here so let's see who will be crowned!! 

The results are posted from day one, I'll be posting day two on a separate blog! 

Gosh Crazy Volume Mascara

I've been meaning to do this review for ages but only now getting round to it! 

Not too long ago I went back out on a hunt down on a bb foundation that I just refused to accept had been discontinued so I was forced to use a different brand of foundation altogether, and stumbled across the mascara which I'm going to talk about now. 

It's this. Aka the new love of my life. If anybody knows me its to know  I'm obsessed with a couple of things, clothes make up, cheerleading and my babies (in no particular order of course). 

       Now as I was forced to find a similar bb foundation to the one I had before, the company 'Gosh' had won me over, similar thickness foundation I had before, little more expensive but not enough to hurt my pocket every time I needed to buy again. 

In superdrug at the time there was a deal of buy one get one half price so I bought the foundation and this mascara... Admittedly I was looking for the clubbing mascara that has two different brushes (one for the day, the other for night) but was open to new ones. And I was not disappointed!! 

Although it only came in the non-waterproof one, I wasn't particularly bothered as I dont buy waterproof anyway. 

10/10 from me. A couple of strokes fans out your lashes giving that false lash effect without it being too heavy on your eyes or overly clumpy, doesn't smudge onto the underneath of your eye so no having to keeping wiping with your finger constantly and only £6.99! 

*based on prices at superdrug February 2015*

My new journey

While I have two lovely boys who keep me busy, trying to keep fit without falling off or getting bored is very hard to do.
So recently I have decided that strong is the new skinny, and have started my journey using precision whey protein shakes. While I personally think it tastes like plastic, the results are working for me. Some days I do an hour of cardio with Jessica smith followed by sets of sit ups, mountain climbers and burpees, I can notice differences already.
It makes a difference with the amount I eat, I find myself eating a lot less but I have more energy, the shake is almost a slow release energy and if I do find myself peckish I'm usually snacking on grapes or strawberries anyway!!
I will be later posting some before, during and after pictures, so join me and my journey to something I'm so excited to share!
