I am back!

Hey guys!

Sorry for being so inactive over the last few months, I have had a lot of things going on in my personal life but I am back for good (hopefully). I will resume posting as normal later today and I have a tonne of things for reviewing! Again, I am really sorry, but life took over and I needed to take a step back, focus on myself and get a lot of things sorted out!

Much love,

Bear <3

Friday Favourites

So this week I've found a few beautiful items and trends which I am completely in love with. They cover not only gaming, but fashion, make-up, music and tattoo's. So what have I loved this week?

Fashion

I adore these leggings and have done since disturbia started selling them. They're currently on sale for £16.95 and are only stocking large and x-large at the moment as I am guessing they will not continue selling them in the future which is a shame because I love them!

New rock heals. Three words and I melt into goo. These look fantasic. Not only do they feture the usual beautiful newrock design and style but also look really femanine at the same time. They feture a inch heal, a lot of metal as well as the well known newrock logo. I wish they were not as pricy though because I would deffinatly buy these if they were a little cheaper! They are retailing at £171.99!

Gaming

I have recently got back into one of my all time favourite games, league of legends! This is a real time strategy game which see's two teams of 5 battle it out. I will do a review on this game and go into more detail but it's basically two teams who fight each other and have to destroy turrets and other things to win the game. Here's a little video which sums up the game...
Tattoo's

Now, I do not have this area tattoo'd as of yet, but one day, when I decide what I want, I will be. These are some examples of sternum tattoo's which look incredible, and a lot of intricate designs can be done in this area if the client is willing to sit still (I probably would not...). I have seen a few examples featuring mandala designs as well as dot work, both of which look fantastic.

Music

Now this is not the real version of the song, it's a parody and oh my, it's stuck in my head and I can't stop laughing at it! Definitely one of my favourite video's of the week (if not the month!)

Make-up

I have done a review of this product and since I started using this, I haven't stopped. It's a fantastic brush for the price and I just adore it. Not only is it a great item, it's from a great brand as well! Feel free to have a look at the review I did on this here.

What are your favourites of this week? Let me know in the comments!

Sorry guys!

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a few days. I've had a few family problems and a couple of things I've needed to do in my personal life but I will be back 100% tomorrow and from there on out. I hope you understand, but I've just had to take time away and just try and sort things out and relax a little bit.

All my love,

Medusa's Shadow Brush Review

I received this brush from Medusa's make-up a few weeks ago now but I have only just gotten around to trying it and honestly, I really love it! It picks up eye-shadow fantastically, and when I say this, I mean it does it with so much ease. I have models own brushes and they set me back around £30 but this brush which costs £5.94 ($10), works 100 times better.

I used this brush with my Bourjois trio eye-shadow set and used the lightest colour which my models own brush has so much difficulty getting any of the product on (which I thought was due to the eye-shadow) but this brush, picks up a hell of a lot of it and in all honesty, I am really really impressed. The bristles in the brush are really soft against the skin and the brush is really gorgeous. It's bright pink with Medusa's make-up printed on one side and on the other side is the type of brush, in this case, shadow. I am completely blown over by this brush!

I would definitely recommend this brush if you use highly pigmented eye-shadows or baked as it picks up a lot of product. The bristles are really delicate on the skin and the brush feels very high quality. It's a very well priced as well but if you live outside the US, be aware that the shipping costs $23.75 (£14.11) which is a lot of money (nearly triple the price of the brush!), but, if you are buying multiple items, I would say it is definitely worth it. I'd give it 4.5/5 due to the cost of shipping being so damn high!

#Caturday

It's that time again! Saturday is here so we all know what that means right? CAT'S! So here are my few favourite beauty and fashion products this week which I have found relating to cats, as well as some pictures of actual cats. Enjoy! But before we begin, here's my old cat Tom hi-fiving my other half. I found this picure out a while ago and it still makes me laugh way too much.

Right, down to business...

The first thing I have found is this beautiful cat ring curtousy of allthecutestcats.com who do fantastic feline related jewellery. It's available in gold and silver, but I do prefer the gold one, looks really pretty. The detail is also adorable and, to top it all off, it's only £3! Now, I think that's a bargain! Click HERE to buy this product!

Next up, a brand I've recently fallen in love with called killstar. This top is gorgeous! It's extremely different to many tops I've seen this week which have been feline-themed and it definitely stands out. Click HERE to buy this product!

Cat chu wink has the most adorable cases for their make-up. Look at the lipstick cases these guys sell. Little black cats! I love love LOVE these! The colours in the lipstick range are beautiful, ranging from a nice soft pink to a vibrant red, suitable for any look.

Lastly, another t-shirt from lowbrowartcompany. How can this top get any more awesome? Not only do we have cats included, but also in the style of KISS? I personally think this is a fantastic idea and extremely appealing to me. Click HERE to buy this product!

Now to actual cats. This is my aunties cat. His name is Scampi and he's a pure ragdoll and the most beautiful cat I've seen...ever! Those pure blue trademark ragdoll eyes look divine!
