Childhood Stories | georgiamae




Hi guys so a while a go I started watching the TV show Once Upon a Time (which I am obsessed with by the way I am all caught up and it's amazing). I started thinking about all the childhood fairytales that I used to read and how they've had an impact on the things I adore now. Firstly the story of Peter Pan has really been with me my whole life I used to have a really old school Disney video tape of it that I used to play all of the time. Then when I got a little older I read the book. I honestly adore the story of Peter Pan and the idea of a magical land called Neverland. I was also a very based child who loved Peter Pan and hated Hook. I loved the idea of all the children been taken to Neverland in their dreams. It was only a couple of months ago that I really clarified my love for Peter Pan when I re-watched the Disney film that I hadn't watched in years that I loved fantasy stories and where they can take you. I think this is why I love Once Upon a Time so much as it is my ideal world of fairytales from my childhood with a twist that I think just add a little extra to all the stories. One of my favourite quoted from Peter Pan is 'The second star to the right, and straight on till morning' as when i was younger I had dreams of going to Neverland and living the stories of the characters from the film. The Peter Pan story from Once Upon a Time was always one of my favourites as I loved the story when I was a child and I was able to see how others interpreted it. 



Another story that was very significant to me growing up when I was around 8 or 9 I believe was Alice in Wonderland. The whole concept of Alice in Wonderland appeals to me so much as obviously  i really love fairytale, fantasy stories and it was able to make me think of a place where everyting was crazy but it somehow made sense. When I was younger I loved the idea of Wonderland and everything it holds and all the magic there. As I have grown up I have also grown to love all the characters and how they are all different and special in their own ways and how they all intertwine so beautifully. I have always been a massive lover of the Tim Burton movie adaptation of Alice in Wonderland as I feel the movie makes everything look so real and magical and as if you're there with Alice on her adventures. When I was a lot younger before i read the book I was a big lover of the Disney film but now I love the Tim Burton version so much more.



So I think I may have just rambled at you all a little about my favourite childhood stories enough I do believe that these stories will stay with me forever. I do hope yo all have a great rest of the week.
Love you all...
See you soon...

Current Beauty Obsessions | georgiamae






Hi guys so now my exams are over I now have more time to blog for you all. Plus i am going to New York at the end of next week so expect blogposts from my trip. So I haven't actually done a favourites on my blog before but ages ago I did a current obsessions and today I thought i'd do another seen as each month I don't find an entire set of new products that i'm in love with.


Recently my mum picked me up the Garnier Micellar cleansing water and for the past couple of weeks i've fallen in love with it. I use it to remove my makeup on a night before I wash my face and then in the morning to give my skin extra hydration before I apply my makeup. also because this product is specifically targeted for sensitive skin I feel I can use it more than others as more harsh products don't get on well with my skin and dry it out more than it already is. All in all this products has now become a long time favourite for me I think and no other cleanser has compared, my simple cleanser was good but not as amazing as this. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone.


Next i've been in love with the Maybeline Lash Sensational mascara which i'm not going to go too much into because i've already done a full review on this and i'm sure you can go back on my blog and find a more in depth review but this month i've been favouring this mascara over all of my others that I have.


I have also been in love with benefits lolli balm which is the balm version of the lolli tint. This balm just gives your lips a sheer wash of pink and moisturises them amazingly. I also have the bene balm but this one has been my go to as I just love the colour that it gives and it still moisturises your lips even when the colour does fade a little. Lastly, i've been loving the Zoella Beauty Blissful Mistful as my scent for this month as it is very up my street in terms of scent it has a very floral yet fresh scent to it. I have been using this pretty much all month along with some days wearing the occasional Jack Wills body spray but honestly this perfume is amazing and i'm so so proud of Zoe for releasing this line.


Love you all...
See you soon...

Taking a Break During Exams | georgiamae




Hi guys this is just a little update post to say that I won't be blogging in the next couple of weeks as I have important end of year exams in around 2 weeks and then a french speaking exam straight after. I would have liked to have continued blogging through my exams as i've been on a good kick recently but realistically it's not possible as I am trying to reach my target grades and above in every subject. I know i'm only in year 10 and my gcse's aren't for another year but I see end of year exams as an opportunity to show me and my teachers that I can reach my targets. So I am going to take a mini break from blogging to focus on revision and other things. However don't worry i'll still be active over on my instagram (@georgiaa.mae) and I do have lots of exciting blogposts planned for when exams are finished which will be around 3 weeks away for those who are wondering. I am going to New York at the end of May so get excited for really good blogposts on New York and things like that. I hope you all understand why I am taking this mini break. 


Love you all...
See you soon...

Everyday Look Using the Naked 3 | georgiamae




Hi guys so i've wanted to do this post for a really really long time and i'm finally getting around to doing this post. So my naked 3 is actually one of my most go to pallets especially for spring as it has very rosy shades which just scream spring to me. 


So my go to look from the naked 3 putting the shades 'dust' and 'burnout' all over my lid as they create a very nice rosy shimmery shade all over my lid. Then I like to put the shade 'nooner' in my crease as it is a matte shade and it also had some very brown tones to add definition into my crease and add depth to my look. I also like to put 'nooner' on my lower lash line because it just adds a extra bit of definition to my lower lash line. If i feel like a want to smoke my look out a little bit more I like to put factory in the outer v of my eye with a very light hand to add more smokiness to my eye look. 


I know this post was quite short but i hope you enjoyed it...
Love you all...
See you soon...

Lush Shiny Happy People Gift Set | georgiamae



Hi guys so today I'm going to be talking about the lush 'Shiny Happy People' gift set that I got for my birthday from my mum and dad. So far my overall opinion in that this set is really good and has a little of everything. I'm not sure of the price as this was I gift i'm sorry. 


So the first thing in this gift set is the 'Happy Hippy' shower gel, this smells amazing. It smells very citrusy and lemony. I usually love lemon based smells and this one in exactly that. When I use this on a morning it just wakes me up up and makes me feel very refreshed in the morning. On the bottle it also says it has grapefruit and I agree. Another good thing is that it can be used on your hair as well as your body, it is also a very good size too. Next is the 'Bohemian' soap it has exactly the same smell a the 'Happy Hippy' shower gel which is amazing as when I take baths I would rather use a soap instead i'm no sure why I just find it more convenient. I would say the soap has more lemon in it as the smell is a bit stronger. Lastly is the green fun which is very multi-use as it can be used as a shower gel a soap and a bubble bath. I have had one of these before I had the gold fun at christmas time and it was very good. I like to use it as a bubble bath most as it creates amazing bubbles. I would fully recommend this set to anyone looking to try new lush products. 


Love you all...
See you soon..

My All Time Favourite Bronzer | georgiamae



Hi guys so today I'm going to be telling you all about what's probably my holy grail bronzer. I'm sure that i'll love other bronzers but this is my current favourite and has been for some time. If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I talk about this bronzer a huge lot and that's because it's honestly amazing. This is the BareMinerals ready Bronzer in the shade 'skinny dip'. 


I find that this just stays on my face longer than any other bronzer I own. I don't have problems with products sliding off my face as i have very dry skin. Also this bronzer is very pigmented when you first put it on and it can be sheered out which is good when you're in a rush as you can just quickly blend in some bronzer to warm up your complexion. Whereas with things like my Borjouis chocolate bronzer it takes a bit of building up to get it to what you like. Which in some cases can be good but it's what I prefer. Also this bronzer isn't too orange toned either which is amazing as some bronzers on me can either look too orange or too muddy. This is the perfect shade for me as I am quite pale so it doesn't look awkward on me. I know BareMinerals is quite expensive but I urge you to check this out as this bronzer is amazing.


Love you all...
See you soon..

The Perfect Pink Blush | georgiamae






Hi guys so for todays post i am going to be talking to you all about this perfect pink blush from Clinique that I've discovered recently. I got a sample of this in a Clinique gift bag I received. I'm pretty sure this is either a deluxe sample or full size. The colour is honestly amazing when you apply this to your cheeks it just gives the perfect natural flush to your cheeks a if you aren't wearing any blush at all. Also this blush is very highly pigmented just one little tap from your brush gives you a lot of product; which I didn't know at first as I swirled my brush around lightly a couple of times and I got quite a lot of product. also this blush goes perfect with my Bare Minerals foundation as together they both just give a really natural healthy glow to your complexion.


If you were wondering the shade of this blush is 'pink love'. The blush also has tiny flecks of shimmer in it which are really un-noticable and natural when you apply it to your face. Which is what I like so much about this blush. Before I got this blush I wan't really a blush fan I always thought that they were pointless and they did nothing but when I tried this I was amazed at what a blush can do to your entire makeup look. I never really owned a blush before this but now I certainly want to purchase more. I would definitely recommend this for anyone just starting out with makeup wanting a natural blush shade. Even though Clinique is a very high end brand they are always giving out deluxe samples so I would urge you to try this while it's still on offer.


Love you all
See you soon
