Nail Polish Review And Haul!!!!!

Hey So i wanted to make a blog post on these babies as i have been loving them! I have mad a video recently on all the nail polishes i have picked up and i thought i would write about my favorite new brands! So as you can see China Glaze and Sally Hansen are the two brands im going to be talking about. I was so impressed by the quality and the range of colours features in both collections! I will start by giving you a little information on each brand. China Glaze has been on the market for thirteen years, what makes it so unique is that the formulas contain china clay, china clay is the same matirial used in porcelain to make it all shiny and lovely! The brand is truley unique and the colours are too. They have a very diverse range of colours from neons to glitters and shimmers to the perfect red! i am truley enchanted by this brand and the results it gives me!

From left to right: Double Duty Strengthening Top And Base Coat, Green With Envy, White On, Lacy Lilac,  Rockstar Pink 

Sally Hansen on the other hand has been around alot longer, sprouting in the 50's Mrs Hansen and husband formulated a nail protection formula, 'Hard as Nails', people started calling it 'the nail clinic in a bottle'. All though i have only tried the hard as nails range, there are alot of others available from crackle overcoats, french manicure sets, nail growth miracle polish, to magnetic nail designs and nail polish strips! so there is something there for everyone. Both of these company's are equally unique in the benifits they offer and the result. I have fallen in love with China Glaze's Desert Sun and Sally Hansens Lacy lilac, both are going to be great for summer and spring! 

same as before

Now i found the Sally Hansen polishes alot easier to apply as they have a square brush which disributes the polish evenly over the nails, i found they were chip proof up to week if i applied the double duty polish as a bass and top coat. The colours are true and you need to coats at the most. I was very pleased with the products and for $48 paso which is $3.40 in the us and australia. However i know they are more expensive in Australia and for that reason i will be stocking up! Though i was thuraly impressed i would recomend never to shake the bottles before you are about to use them as then there will be bubbles that will come to the surface when the polish is drying and that is the same for all nail polishes including China Glaze. All though the brush is not as monkey proof as the Sally Hansen's, the formula was smooth and highly user friendly, the colours are truly amazing in this range and i doubt i will ever stray from these lady friendly products! At the affordable price of $54 paso, $3.80 for US and AUS i am very disapointed as i know they are very uncommon in Australia so i will also be stocking up as my falangies love the stuff and stay chip proof for a week also! I am so pleased with both these products! 

i hope you enjoyed reading my thoughs, please comment down below with any questions!

Oh, como me encanta Auguas!

So as you know i did a small update on my movement to Aguascalientes Mexico and i failed to document my time there, however i do have a few snaps to show you! And some news! so today i will be leaving once again to go back to Aguascalientes as often when i'm in mexico i tend to travel to and from San luis Potosi and Aguas. This time i will deffinatly be keeping my blog and youtube in the loop as i will be doing a week of vlogging. Day one will be uploaded today so see above! and there should be my little adventures popping up every day! I had a wonderful time last time with my cousin Katia and Paulina and i ended up staying an extra week! that was why there was no posts for so long until now. The first weekend i was there it was the Faria De San Marcos, the biggest bar in Mexico they say as people pile into the centre and fill the main streets, with music dancing and ALOT of alcohol! Its the only three weeks in the year where you are allowed to drink on the streets and people go crazy! clubs open their doors and music is everywhere you go! it was amazing! See the photo bellow that i stole from the website.

So as you can see its quite busy and i did struggle a little, everyone holds hands and pulls each other through! it was so much fun. Bellow is a photo of me with a few buddys in out. WARNING! in some of these photos i look shocking as the camera washed me out!

our friend, my cousin paulina and me looking shocking!

me and the girls and a boy hahahaha kidding hes my friends boyfriend and Shine!

As it was party week we went out alot! i only have a few snaps, however we went to parties too! The first day i got there Katia was doing a dance performance, it was very very funny as she hates dancing and so she spent the whole time looking at what the other girls were doing and trying to copy them. Here we are, before it started, her costume is so cute!  

Me, Katia, Paulina and our friend Katia haha common name!

One of the things i found us frequently doing was going for coffee. My mother had bought us all matching dresses! i know very embarrassing and the worst thing is they are those terrible bintang ones! When i showed the girls their presents they loved it, so i agreed to wear the dress as a top so went out yes i left the house in it! but it was fun, hahaha. 

Katia, me and Paulina. Rocking the bingtang!

In the last couple of days before i left we went out for lunch and had an awesome time chilling by our friends pool! it was a nice end to my stay so, thats stayed in my mind and i will be going back today!!!!!!  

So that is it for all my holiday snaps so far! look above and you should see a blog post very very soon! i hope you enjoyed! and dont forget to check out my Youtube channel! have an awesome day guys and i will talk to you all very soon!

organicasm

Hello all, so i am very much one of those people that will watch a movie, read something or hear someone talking about an interesting topic and automaticly be persauded by what they say. i will be incredibly inspired at first to do all i can for that one particular cause and then after a couple of weeks something clicks and the passion i once had fades and the meaning is lost to me. However, i have littrally just this second finished watching a documentary called food inc, if you havent watched it i advise you too as it gives a great insight into the way the food is produced in America. All though the documentary only focuses on the united states,

Traveling in style

Hey everyone! So im going to be very busy during the next couple of days and so though i will still be blogging i wont have time to film unless i vlog, though i currently dont have a camera which is extremely annoying!  And as im in mexico everything takes a long time to happen! You say we will leave at 3.30 an hour later your getting ready to leave! Which brings me to my initial topic of being busy, i am currently sipping a beer in the back of a rather nice car on ma way with my cousin paulina to party with our rather beautiful and extremely fun mutual cousin katia! I recieved a message before i left saying to be dressed and ready to go to a party as soon as we get there. The whole situation is extremely exciting, however last time i was with this blue eyed beauty i drank so excessively  i woke up in the night and vomited all over my clothes, once we had all awoke in the morning we all sat on our bed having a chat when i realized what that faint sick smell was in the room. I leaned over and caught a glimps of the massacred clothes, shoes and floor. it was enough to set me off for  the rest of the day. Anyway, we always manage to have fun together and get into trouble some way or another. Its going to be interesting to see how the three of us work together! I will keep you updated along the way!

Here are some photos from last time i went!

New years eve!!!!

Katia and i at a cantina

Isnt she lovely?

Dont worry its shisha!

New camera, a thank you and a bean sprout!

Yo yo, what's happening ladays? I hope your all chillin nice and in the freezzerrrr if ya know what I'm saying? Good because I don't. Ha. Moving on bean sprout, so something amazing happened to me yesterday!!! And anyone who is reading this may think I'm a complete loser for makeing a post about this however I do what I want! So yesterday I received and email from YouTube, and it said someone had posted a comment on my video! It was a request for more hair tutorials and I could not be more chuffed! It is my first and only comment i have had and right now it was little nudge and wink I needed to carry on! As something terrible happened yesterday. My very trusty, and supposedly beanie proof Olympus water proof camera chose after 4 years by my side to be not so water proof anymore... And thus as my friend attempted to take a fun underwater shot it died... My father and I are trying to salvage what is left, however my gut feeling is, that its gone due to the fact I can see water in the lens and screen. The upside to saying goodbye to an old friend is that I am getting a new one. New camera = super good quality footage and photos. So to the sweet ushnair82 who brightened my day trumendasly for you the first film I will make on my new flashy camera with all the bells and whistles will be a hair tutorial :)

OOTD of to a spring Partayyyy!

Hello, everybody So I am off to a little bash and so I thought I would quickly show you my outfit! It's really comfortable and cute! I hope you like it! Clothes should be linked in the description box. With thoughts and love BeanQueen xx oh ps! If you like my hair there should be a tutorial linked right here: http://youtu.be/B57NLMAbWGk

Mexico update!

Hello there! I hope you are all happy and sparkly this fine day! I honestly couldnt tell you why I am so chipped, I haven't slept all night and I am now coming on to the I terwebs at 9 am to scare you all with zombie talk! I'm not actually talking about zombies, I meant me not sleeping so there for I am a zombie... See what I mean? Truely not my self and rather a bit of scrambled egg instead! Anyway moving along now bean! I have been having a lovely ole time In Mexico! I appoligize for the lack photographic footage however I am hoping to get that all sorted out quick smart! So if I haven't explained the reaso. I am here will do so now. My father or chuy (that's his name! Well Jesus is his name but that's a whole different story!)is Mexican so there for I am half Mexican half Brit! And as my lovely father resides in Mexico I have come to see him in his natural habitat if you will and to see my family. I have been having a good laugh and half and it's only been a week and a half! However that is not to say there hasn't been a few tears! I'm going to messing around over here for around 2 months, maybe longer depending if my boyfriend can get his tour to stop off here on his way to god knows where! So yes, so far the high lights have been: -Getting to hold a tarantula in a bet store! (they were selling it for $20!!!) not going to lie I did want to take it home with me! -eating tacos whenever I want! Dad and I had a sneaky 3 am snack at a locale place they are open until 6am!!! So I can have a delicious snack when ever I feel like. Oohhhh errrrr almost wrote snake instead of snack! -I have had the amazing experience of shopping here, clothes are cheaper and so amazing!!! -bubble tea for $2.50 as well as general stuff like snacks and bear costing nothing over 20 bucks for the whole lot! - one of the best parts however was Getting to go and eat at my uncles restaurant! Argentillia is in Leon Mexico, if your ever in the area check it out, the food is amazing and for westerners the pricing is cheap compared to back home and this is for a 4 and a half star restaurant :) I ate so much I thought I was going to pop so we took a break and came back again the next day for lunch! For disert I got the coco nut terimisue. One for you.... AMAZING! I could it all day and still want more, no words can describe this little cloud heaven that flouted from the sky's and landed on my plate drizzled with a bitter sweet raspberry sauce.... - I also had a great time at the party I went to last time, except I ended up getting soaking wet, some of the boys had arranged water boms to be dropped from the 2nd floor windows on the heads of the unsuspecting party guessed that lingered in the garden. Unfortunately I was one of those unsuspecting guests and the end result was my toms (shoes) getting apsalutly dripping! So that pretty sums up my trip so far! It's been a blast and I can't wait for more. I love writing about all these little things and I hope at least one person appreciates what I have to say... I guess I do so thats all that counts!

Hair tutorial for spring

Hey guys, so ever since I was a little one, I have been coping crap for my ears. Yes they stick out and at one point looked ridiculously massive compared to the size of my head! Now through out the whole very long span of 17 years I have worked out ways to hide them. Now I know it's quite common for people to hav surgery to get them fixed as you will, however that idea has never appealed to me, I have this thought that if did once I woke up from surgery I wouldn't be able see myself anymore and I don't think I would like to give that up. Sometimes you have to except the way you are and work around it! And that's what i've done! I know that when I was a little bean sprout it would have been nice for someone somewhere to say hey you little bean don't worry your fine, and when you grow up you will be happy the way you are! But alas I didn't and so I spent many years sleeping with head bands on thinking that my ears would eventually go flat but it didn't work and gave me a very big head ache! I used color coordinate my head bands to my clothes as I was terrified the wind would blow if my hair was down and the terrible truth would reveal itself and everyone would know I was secretly dumbo! I will never forget the day I took it off at school. I was in the girls bathrooms and I had done my hair super marvy well I thought it was super marvy for a 15 year old however my head band ruined it all and made it look weird. My best friend at the time turned around took it off my head and shoved me outside, I instantly thought i was going to die of embarestment but she grabbed my hand and pulled me along and said that it was fine and to get over it. We went and sat down with our other chums and to my surprise there was none of that terrible slomo laughter they do in films, snide comments or even an eye lid batted at my two friends that sit on either side of my head. As time went on I became more confident, my friend the same one that freed me from my insecure shackles mentioned that if I was still nervy about them sticking out when my hair was straight then I should back come my hair a bit and around the front so that it would all stay in place and there would be no freak out if the wind so happened to blow... The whole back coming thing did lead me into a terrible scene fad however I won't get into that now! Let me just say I was 15! As I got older I wanted to do more styles, and as I live in good old down under and the sun can be scorching at the best of times! I needed to figure out a way of putting my hair up but still having a little coverage for comforts sake. So I came up with this little fun doooo, now I do realize I am wearing a for of head band in this however you can wear it with out and still be covered. I thought the flower reef headband would be so cute for this look and couldnt resist popping it in! I might do another video on this as this is something that I really struggled with for a long time and I would hate to think of other people feeling the same way without getting to talk to anyone or not having a tough best friend to sort you out when you need it! I hope you enjoy the video! And if you have any questions or comments please leave them bellow it would be really lovely to hear from someone! With thoughts and love BeanQueen! Xx
