You can see my original video Products I'm taking to Disney video HERE.

Read on for a full list of products I took/used!

Barry M Eye Shine Shadow & Glaze Palette Review.

Hello!
Today's post is very much me procrastinating/ taking a break from my University Major Project.
Whilst shopping yesterday I came across this little eye shadow palette in Boots.

May I just say the packaging on this thing is beautiful!

Now the thing is the palette isn't supposed to be available in Boot's yet. 

It's released officially in Superdrug stores today (May 6th) but I bought it yesterday (May 5th) in Boots. This new little palette isn't supposed to be available in Boots until May 13th!

Any way the idea behind this palette is very intriguing so read on to find out more!

Hey Little Cupcake Review.

Today I'm giving you a little insight into my world.
I love cupcakes!
I love to eat them but I love baking them more!
Sadly I didn't bake these cupcakes but I'm here to review them nonetheless.

April Favourites.

I'm not usually one for doing favourites, I'm a very indecisive person you see but this month a few moments and products stood out that I would like to share with you all.

I'm not going to guarantee this as a monthly thing as I said I'm indecisive and I'm not really someone that tends to stick with the same routine over and over such as the same eye make up, lipstick etc lets just call me fickle haha!

Barry M Sunset Nail Paint Review.

Hello everyone,

So I popped in to Boots the other day.
Always a bad idea since I never leave the store without purchasing something.
The Barry M stand caught my eye with their new nail polish release.
Honestly I think Barry M in terms of price, colour range and nail 'effects' they have on offer are the best you can get on the high street.

Introducing the new Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing polish.

The idea behind these is that they give you the salon pro gel polish finish and longevity with out the need for a UV lamp and they can be removed with just your ordinary nail polish remover.

But do they actually work?

Avengers : Age of Ultron Review.

A few weeks ago I slowly began to get more and more excited about the impending release of the new Avengers film. As I started to re-watch and remember important story arcs knowing the Marvel Cinematic Universe is all connected.

As reviews poured in many were claiming that at times it was difficult to understand and would be confusing to those who weren't well versed in the goings on of the previous Marvel outings.

So did I enjoy it?
Was I confused?
Read on for a spoiler free review!

Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Review.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not a lipgloss lover.

I've never liked how it felt, always sticky. I prefer bold lips and lipgloss was always too sheer. I have long hair it was for ever getting stuck, and all those reasons mean I haven't bought or worn a lipgloss for at least 2 years.

So why if I hate them so much am I reviewing a lipgloss.

Well to be frank, Rimmel's new Oh My Gloss' are game changers!

Reactions to Star Wars, Jurassic World + more!

So this blog post is just a little bit different for me. I mean I've done specific trailer reviews but now I want to talk about 2 trailers, a TV show and movie that have all got me very excited!

Soap And Glory The Fab Pore Moisture Lotion - Review.

Today I'm here to review my 'new' moisturiser.
I say 'new' because I've actually been testing it out for about a month now.

That moisturiser is Soap and Glory's The Fab Pore!

My Everyday Make Up Routine.

Hello my loves happy Friday!

Today I bring you my 'natural' everyday make up routine, I hope you enjoy!

Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit Review.

After playing around with it for a few weeks I'm finally getting round to reviewing the Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit.

Benefit Roller Lash vs Maybelline The Rocket

Today we're doing a battle of the mascaras.
Once again it's Maybelline vs Benefit.
Who will win?

My Easter Weekend - 2015

Hello everyone,

for those not from the UK just so you know Easter weekend comes with two bank holidays, Friday and Monday meaning a four day weekend for fun family time (if you are lucky enough to not work in retail/ restaurants).

Come join me on my Easter Weekend!

Maple X Whiskey Wax Tart Review.

Last week I reviewed Maple and Whiskey's Candles in the fragrances Pineapple Whip and Poison Apple, you may remember I mentioned purchasing a few of the tart melts as well.

Well now that I've had sufficient time to test those out I'm here to review them!

Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner vs Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Pen.

Wow this is my first video for this blog! How exciting is that?
As explained in the video I felt this post would work better if I showed you the products in action rather than just talking about it.

Let the battle commence!

I also meant to say in the video that I feel the Maybelline one wears better throughout the day. I don't know about it's 36hr claim since I've never worn it that long but it doesn't get crumbly or patchy towards the end of the day as I have seen the Benefit one do on me.

What else is on my face?

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil
Sleek Blush - Flushed
Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Palette (contour shade only)
Bourjois Java Rice Powder
Maybelline Colour Whisper - Lust For Blush
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick - Beige Trench

I hope you enjoyed todays post.

Quick Fix Facials Review.

Teenagers in the UK will remember the £1 sheet masks used in sleepovers that never really did anything. It's no surprise that it's difficult to find a face mask that does what it say on the tin but for a fair price. 

Anyone who follows the beauty community on YouTube will be aware of the Glam Glow face masks, they'll also be aware off their very hefty price tag.

Well say hello to a very small brand called Quick Fix Facials, something I found in Boots the first time hidden away on a bottom shelf but don't let that fool you, their name alone is a pretty big claim and just £5 each they are accessible to mostly everyone, but are they any good?

Have Courage, Be Kind : The Tale of Cinderella.

2015 hailed the return of one of Disney's beloved Princesses of old, Cinderella.
With it came a whole lot of criticism about whether Cinderella is outdated, how it goes against feminism because the main character is too passive and waits around for a Prince to rescue her. I ask the question, have they been watching the same footage I have?
If I gained anything from watching the trailers and reading the new book which is based on the script for the movie, it's that this new Cinderella takes a classic tale and turns it on its head, keeping its otherworldly charm and magic whilst providing a suitably welcome modern update.

Maple X Whisky Candle Review.

I suffer from PDD. (Post Disney Depression)

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

The next step? Acceptance. 

A.K.A Buy anything and everything Disney to hold on to a little piece of that magic. 

Then one of my ICP room mates Ainsley Rogers instagrammed a picture of Disney themed candles. As a candle addict and a Disney addict, I purchased my own straight away. 

Boots Beauty Haul.

Over the past month or so I've made a few trips to Boots, armed with my advantage card and vouchers I bought things I needed but also treated myself, a luxury many of us can't afford so I thought it would be nice to share my most recent beauty splurge.

My Favourite Glitter Top Coat.

It's no secret that glitter nail polish is an absolute nightmare to get off. Sadly I'm not here to tell you that the reason I love this particular one is because it's easier to get off, because it isn't, but that isn't a reason to write it off.

Read on to find out exactly why I love it so much.

Current Music Favourites.

I'm one of those people who believes that music makes the world go round.

In my opinion there's a song that corresponds to what ever is going on in your life, music can make or break a film, and the most important, it helps me to concentrate. 

When I'm writing or doing work, I always need background noise to fill my head to avoid distractions that absolute silence brings, more often than not, music is that background noise. So I thought I would share my current top music favourites.

Update.

*sighs*

I seem to be writing a lot of these posts lately.

Anyway, you may or may not notice that this blog has been through some changes, yet again, this time I didn't just stop with a redesign, it got a new name too. (Yes I know the URL is still the same, but for now we're gong roll with it).

So welcome to Becca's Life.

The new incarnation of the former Beka's View, why the difference in spelling you may ask?

Well my sister has always commented on the fact that the way I spell the shortened version of my name doesn't look very professional, and she's right. Every job I've had, my name tag has always read Rebecca or Becca but never Beka. So that's why I changed it, don't worry I'm still the same person!

My redesign before Christmas was ambitious and admittedly messy with about 8 different pages, so I've simplified it into three, (not including about me) these are:

Lifestyle: Posts about my life and interests. i.e. University, What I did today, My Disney experience.
Beauty: Loves, Hates, Reviews, Looks and everything in between.
Reviews: Everything from beauty to books, films to TV shows.

Some posts may fall under more than one category, in which case they will be available on both pages.

I hope you love the redesign as much as I do, I even got to grips with a bit of new technology (well new to me at least), you may notice the social media buttons in the side bar, those are all working links to my current social media (excluding Facebook, apologies but I would rather keep that private), so please come say hi to me over there as well!

So once again welcome to Becca's Life, sending warm hugs your way!

Beka's Beauty: Leopard Nails!

Hello my lovelies!

I have decided to start doing more short posts which will enable me to bring more content to this blog with the ideal of me being able to post more than twice a week which was getting tough because I was convinced they had to be long and insightful posts, so we're going to try it this way for a bit, no schedule for now and see how it goes!

On to todays post.
