Asos - plus size range

Asos is a global fashion and beauty online store which sells well known branded and self branded products which are aimed for fashion forward people in their twenties and thirties. They provide a wide range of clothing for both men and women and have a plus size range for those with voluptuous curves. As a plus size 23 year old female I found it difficult to find clothes in my size and that were up to date with the current fashion trends. That was until I discovered Asos which is my current favourite online clothing store. Asos has a plus size range which they call Curve and the sizes range from a UK 18 to a UK size 28. Their plus size range allows me to have clothes which are fashion forward and made to fit my curves beautifully. The only down side to Asos is their prices. I find a lot of their clothing to be quite expensive which makes it difficult for a lot of people to purchase anything from the website on a regular basis. Apart from their prices, I cannot fault the store or the brand and I think it is worth taking a look at the website to see for yourself how good the online store really is.

Unemployment

Hey everyone 

This post is going to be a bit of a rant, so here it goes. 

I am 23 and I have never worked and not by choice. When I left school at 16 I went to college for 2 years to study my diploma in child care and education. Once I finished college I spent a year trying to find a job but failed to get employment and had to claim job seekers during that year.

I then decided to go back to college and do another course for 2 years because I was so frustrated with the job market. During those 2 years I was getting money for being in full time  education so I didn't have to claim benefits. 

Once the 2 years where finished I was back to square 1 again. I spent another year on job seekers then I was sent to a place called wade training to do a steps to work course which was really useful as I learned interviewing skills, how to fill in an application form properly and they also helped me to write up a CV. After completing this course I still didn't gain employment. 

This time last year I was accepted by the Trust to do a six month administration placement in a local hospital. I started my placement in March 2013 and I loved every minute of that placement and was sad when it ended in September. Now I'm back to signing on every fortnight and job searching every minute of every day. 

I don't like being on benefits and I am sick and tired of having people calling me lazy and that I need to get out and work. I would love to have a job and be in a proper routine like I was before my placement ended. Do people really think that I like living on benefits? I get £56 a week. Does that really make people think that I enjoy living on benefits with that amount of money every week? People like Katie Hopkins makes my blood boil because they have no idea what it's like to be on benefits and what it's like to be rejected every day by employers because they won't give you a chance just because you don't have the experience. How can someone have any experience when no one will give them a job to gain any. I'm 23 and have no social life. I can't go out every weekend and have a drink with friends or go on holidays with them because I have no money. I have had my driving license for nearly 5 years and don't have a car and haven't driven for a long time all because I am unemployed and claiming job seekers allowance.

All I want is a job with a decent wage so I can move into my own house, get a car and get my social life back. Is that so much to ask for? People need to think before they form an opinion on people who claim benefits because it's no walk in the park. Remember that not everyone who claims benefits are sponging the system.

My Skin Care Routine 2014 + L'Oreal skin perfection range review

I was never really big in to skin care until recently. The more blogs I read and Youtube videos I watched I started to realise that looking after my skin is really important. So recently I bought some items from the L'Oreal skin perfection range to add to my new skin care routine. Here are the  3 steps I use every night before I go to bed.

Step 1:

I wet my face and apply my soap&glory peaches and clean cleanser to my face. Once I do this I use my Clarisonic Mia 2 to wash my face and remove all of my make up.

Step 2:

After gently drying my face I get a cotton pad and apply L'Oreal skin perfection toner all over my face, neck and décolletage.

Step 3:

The next step I apply my skin perfection moisturiser all over my face, neck and décolletage in circular motions. Then using my ring finger, gently apply the eye cream.

I have been really enjoying using the skin perfection range and have noticed a difference in my skin. My skin has been softer and brighter. I have also had very little break-outs this month which would be due to the Clarisonic mia 2 which is really worth the money (£125.00). I strongly recommend you try out the skin perfection range and see for yourself how good the range is.
If you have tried any of the skin perfection products, which are your favourite?

Rimmel Moisture Renew Listick :Review

Hey Guys!!

I recently bought the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in the colour 'As You Want Victoria'. I really like this lipstick. It has SPF 20 and UV protection which is always good and leaves the lips with intense colour and moisture. The lipstick is excellant quality,moisurising, easy to apply and highly pigmented. There are 20 shades to choose from so there will be a colour to suit everyone and it is at a very competative price at £6.49 RRP. The outer packaging is really nice and in a lovely deep purple colour. I think everyone should try this lipstick out and see what all the fuss is about.

MUA Intense Kisses :Review

Hey everyone!!

I was in superdrug the other day and I came across this lip gloss on the MUA stand. I liked the look of the colour of it so I bought it. The colour I got was Kiss and Tell. I absolutely love this product. The lip gloss is very pigmented and lasts on the lips for a good few hours without a touch up. There is a range of bold colours to suit everyone and for only £2 you cant really go wrong. You can wear it on its own, but it also looks really nice when its worn over a lipstick just to add an extra pop of colour and shine to your lips. I will definitely re purchase this product and try some of the other available colours . I highly recommend this lip gloss be added to your make up collection.
