The Perfect Christmas Coffee

I'm back, sorry it's been sooooo long but A-levels got in the way but I'm at college instead now so I'll be posting a lot more now.

Christmas is almost upon us, time to find the best winter coffee. Now everyone has there different opinions about which coffee they like best but, this post will be based on battle of CostaBucks and the magical gingerbread latte.

As you may be able to tell, the gingerbread latte is my favourite winter coffee. But the question is, What shop sells the best one? For me, it is down to two, 'Costa Coffee' and 'Starbucks Coffee'.

                     vs     

Pricing:

Now Starbucks and Costa aren't the most cheapest of places to get just a coffee, but I think the christmas spirit has hit them because the prices aren't actually that bad! You can grab yourself a gingerbread latte from Starbucks for about £2.52 ($3.75) to about £3.19 ($4.75). To my surprise, it's cheaper than Costa! From Costa you're looking to spend about £2.75 ($4.09) to £3.45 ($5.13). That's one point to Starbucks!

Taste:

Starbucks was the first gingerbread latte I tasted and my golly gosh was that TASTY! It tasted like a  liquefied gingerbread man but not in a horrible way before you all start thinking of melting gingerbread men because the point I'm trying to get across is that it was the right amount of  gingerness to taste like a gingerbread man not to much not to little, but it also depends whether you you like strong tasting things or light tasting things. The coffee is presented to you (what I got) in a  christmassy red paper cup with a mountain of whipped cream at the top and a nice dusted sugar coating. Then you will find within, the mouth watering gingerbread coffee (YUMMY IN MY TUMMY).  

Costa's coffee looked so yummy in the picture but was not presented to me like it looked,

A) It's supposed to come in a christmassy cup (it did not)

B) It's supposed to come with a gingerbread man on top of the whipped cream (it did not)

C) It's supposed to come with a good amount of whipped cream (it did not!) 

So over all the presentation was a let down as I was looking forward to taking a picture of it for my Instagram but it was never meant to be :(.

But it was a lovely coffee. However, it wasn't as strong tasting as the Starbucks one. So it depends if you want a strong or weak coffee. With me, I'll sometimes get a headache as I'm not good with strong tasting and smelling things. But then again, sometimes I don't.

Overall ....

Starbucks presentation and strong taste and the fact it costs less than Costa is better but on the other hand, if money is no object to you then by all means, try the Costa coffee. but you may find that the presentation isn't always up to standard every time you go to get one and the gingerness is not as strong. It all comes down to whether or not you like strong tasting coffees or not but I will say now, the Starbucks one isn't over powering,  it's just a lot stronger than Costa, that's all.

I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation review

The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation is a product that I would definitely purchase again as it never fails to make my skin look amazing as recently I've had some really bad skin days and this foundation helps make my skin look so much better as it hides all the redness in my skin and levels out skin tones to make it look flawless and even hides spots without using concealer but I still have to use concealer on the reddest and harshest of spots and under the eye circles as I've unfortunately got dark under eyes.

I was a bit unsure whether or not to purchase this item because I have seen it on other people and they looked amazing with it on but it look like it would be too dark for my skin because I'm quite a pale person like ghostly pale so I was worried that I would look a bit orange with it on but I took a risk and brought it and I'm so happy I did because it gives colour to my skin and in my opinion makes me look more alive.

This foundation has a lovely smell to it that isn't to strong so it doesn't give you a headache, it's really subtle smell it smells like a mixture of fruit like the ones it shows on the bottle the reason why this is because its got natural fruits in the foundation which I think is a lot better then putting in a loads of chemicals as too many harsh chemicals on the skins isn't good for the skin as it creates spots and greasy skin.

This foundation is also easy to apply to the skin (no streaks and blends really easily).

I don't think I want to try any other foundation.

Also this foundation has lasted me a long time as I've had it since Christmas and I'm still using it as it hasn't run out yet.

I would recommend this product to everyone as it is good on all types of skins dry and oily.

 At the moment this product sales at £9.99 in all drug stores e.g. Boots and Superdrug it is a little expensive but it lasts such a long time so it's not like you need to buy one every month.

I hope you found this review useful and for any requests on anything you would like me to review or talk about wright it in the description :) 

Big Hero 6 Review

Big Hero 6 is about a special bond between a young boy called Hiro Hamada and a robot medic Baymax, with his group of friends they try to find out who killed Hiro's brother.

Hiro is an amazing robotics creator and at the start of the film he was using his robot he created to go to robotics war which was illegal in San Fransokyo, but when he see's the place at which his older brother goes to school he forgets all about the robotic wars and was instantly glued to try to get into his brother school by entering an competition to win his place there. After showing his amazing project everyone was glued and was instantly awarded his place but unfortunately there was no happy ending as the school was set on fire and his brother ran back inside to save his favorite teacher but never return.

Before I even went to the cinemas to watch Big hero 6 I already had high expectations because as soon as I saw the advert I was instantly grabbed by the cuteness of Baymax and how much I had already laughed at before even watching the film.

I must say this scene is one of my favorites through out the film.

My other all thought of Big Hero 6 is that its an amazing, funny and breath taking film suitable for all ages, it also shows a loving bond between and older and younger siblings which we see quite a lot in the world today. It has breath taking music from fall out boy called immortals and as soon as it was played at the cinemas me and my friends sort of freaked out because as well as liking the sound and the band it fitted really well with the scene at the time.

Also for all you YouTube fans Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil did the voice's of two of the characters in the film and in my opinion did a really good job.

Over all this film is a film that can't be missed. 

As this film caused real tears, a lot of laughter for example Baymax the robot medic scans Hiro to see whats wrong with him and says " you are experiencing mood swings diagnosis puberty".

Also one last thing if your a super fan of Disney then don't miss this film and even if you don't watch that much Disney films then don't miss this one as you will regret it if you don't watch this film.

American Horror Story Freak Show is coming to an end

                Now for most of you especially in American have already seen the last episode of American Horror story well I'm from The UK so I still gotta wait until 27th of January for it to be shown in the UK so no spoilers guys.

But this season for me has been the freakiest since Asylum in my opinion, I have loved all of the seasons so far more the hunted house but I have loved each one even though it's pretty graphic at times/pretty much all the time but it's so amazingly put together you can't help but not watch it I feel like it captivates me.

This season has been filled with sadness with ma petite's murder, Ethel Darling and Jimmies hands being cut off, but it's also been pretty like what the hell like when Emma Roberts character gets sworn in half and Desiree Dupree just goes she had it coming with out the slightest OMG our new owner is not right in the head and is going to kill us all even though it's not its fault but still!!!! 

I also felt Danndy was just to scary for my liking he was just too real which in a way is a good thing as the actor has done his done as if he didn't he wouldn't he hired in the first place but it was just so way played he just really freaked me out.

The Top 3 Scariest characters: 

Twisty

Danndy

chester

The character I felt more sorry for was Jimmy as he loses his mom, he gets betrayed, he only wants to be treated equally like anyone else all he wants to do is entertain people and he doesn't get appreciated as much and then he loses his hands which made him feel hole.

I hope you enjoyed this quick summary of freak show I will be doing another one once the last episode comes out for me so stay tuned.   

Everyday make-up look

 First I started off with a primer (baby skin primmer £7.99) and I put a little on my finger and put it on my pours so like my noise, cheeks, chin, forehead and it can also help keep eyemake-up on so I little on my eye line and on my dark circles (eye bags). This primmer levels out skin colour making you look less red in areas.


The after applying primmer I used foundation (Match Perfection) £8 in shade 001 porcelain.
Then with the Foundation I put 2 pumps of it on the back of my hand and then I dot it all over my face and for me I only need 2 pumps and by the way it weren't as much as what your looking at my camera gives the perception making it look like I've put alot on the back of my hand.
Then I got my foundation brush and buffed it in.
Once I had finish doing that I put the Match Perfection concealer on any spots and under eye circles.£5 plus it's also a highlighter.

After that I went in with contorting my cheek bones and a little at the top of my forehead.

Then I went in with doing a cat eyeliner £1 even though it's only cheep piece of make-up it really good plus lasts a really long time.
Once that want was done I went in with my big eye's Mascara £5-8 and its worth the money gives amazing length in my eyelashes.
Then I went in with my other eyeliners and I used the cream side of it as it isn't call big eye's for nothing and this is put on my water line.
once that was done I went in with colour burst candy apple colour £7-£6
