The Rise Of The Liquid Lipstick

Liquid lipsticks 

Liquid lipsticks have literally been everywhere in the last few months. So many brands are bringing out their own liquid lipsticks, and I think they are a huge hit. They feel light like a gloss and have the lasting power and pigmentation of a lipstick. It is literally the best of both worlds. I have quite a few of the liquid lipsticks from a variety of brands, and I am very fond of them all.

My favourite brands for the liquid lipsticks are Rimmel and MUA. Rimmel have got their shades spot on with a huge variety to choose from and MUA have impressed me so much with the intense pigmentation of their liquid lipsticks. The MUA liquid lipsticks (LL) are known as velvet lip lacquers. They are immensely pigmented and the lasting power is out of the world. They are actually difficult to get off! Swatch one on your hand and you will know what I mean. They come in a variety of funky colours and there is one for everyone. Whether you are into your deep purples or your nude-pinks. 

The Rimmel LL's are called Apocalips. These were one of the first LL's on the market and I remember how everyone went crazy over them when they were first released. The Apocalips take longer to dry on your lips than the MUA ones and they glide on more like a gloss. Again, these come in a variety of shades. The Apocalips come in snazzy packaging and they all have funky names which is quite nice. 

One of the oldest LL's I own is by the brand Stila. I only own one from the brand and it is A pale pink, metallic shade. The shade I own kind of looks like you have foil on your lips. They dry instantly and don't leave your lips feeling dry at all. I could literally lick my lips for ten minutes with this on and it wouldn't go nowhere. The packaging for the Stila LL is very sleek and pretty. 

Topshop have several kinds of 'Liquid lipsticks' and they are given a variety of different names. I have one of their lip creams and one of their lip paints. I do find heir lip paints to be pretty sticky but they come in such beautiful shades so I don't mind it too much. 

The last LL I have is by Make Up Revolution. This is a fairly new brand and it is honestly one of my favourites. Their products are amazing and I am yet to come across a bad product. Their liquid lipstick is immensely pigmented and the lasting powder is amazing. This is one brand I would definitely recommend to everyone. It is so afford able too so that is a huge bonus.

Ethnicity Does Not Determine Your Beauty

Beauty Comes In All Forms

All over social media I see people talk about specific ethnicities and whether they have beautiful people or not. What! This baffles me. How can people be so closed minded that they assume beauty is determined by ethnicity. No one looks the same and not everyone from the same ethnicity has the same features, so how can an entire ethnicity be ugly? Yes, a lot of the time there are ethnicities where a lot of their people share the same characteristic, but this is never 100%. For example, people assume that everyone in India and Pakistan have black hair and brown eyes. That is such a stupid generalisation. There are people with blue, green, and grey eyes and red, brown, blonde hair too. Even if they all did have black hair and brown eyes, what would be wrong with it? Every colour eye is beautiful, all skin tones are beautiful, all hair shades are beautiful. 

Throughout Asia there are people who believe they are not beautiful unless they are "white skinned". Why do they have these beliefs? Why are they so afraid for their children to play in the sun because they have fear they will become 'dark'? I know for most, it goes back to the times when England invaded places in Asia and told them they were low class and that the Whites were 'higher'. 

The social media has also warped our minds and has made us believe only specific types of people are beautiful. We see the same things again and again, porcelain skin, almond eyes, perfect noses, big lips. Models are photoshopped to look specific ways and then young girls and boys all over the world feel like shit. But how can we ever look like these models if they don't even look like themselves. 

So many girls from different ethnicities want nose jobs and plastic surgery to look more like a Caucasian. These girls shouldn't need to change their features or feel they are not good enough unless they look more like a Caucasian. These girls are so influenced by what Hollywood thinks is beautiful and the ideal girl (Barbie) that they would completely change themselves. Having every feature perfect with no flaws is unreal and unnatural. 

So many black and Asian children even wish they could be more paler, with lighter hair and smaller noses to fit in with their friends at school. We have to show our children that no matter what colour their skin, no matter what their features look like or no matter what texture of hair they have.. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. THEY ARE UNIQUE. What society thinks is beautiful is a load of SHIT and you should never follow it. *fist punch*

Have you ever heard a white person say a girl is “pretty for a black girl”? What can that possibly mean? It could only mean that to them, black women are not pretty? That even the woman in question is not really all that pretty, just better the rest? Yes, different ethnicities have different ideas about what they deem to be beautiful, but this gives no one the right to generalise an entire group of people or belittle them. 

As you can probably tell, it really really annoys me when I see ignorant people comment things like "She's too pretty to be _____".

Recently I saw a tweet from a boy saying a girl was "too pretty to be Pakistani" 

What does that even mean?!? How can you even say that? There are millions of Pakistanis, with so many different features, skin colours, eye colours, face shapes, hair types.... HOW CAN YOU SAY THEY ARE TOO PRETTY TO BE PAKISTANI?! 

Another thing I despise is:

"Oh all black people have big lips" or "All Pakistanis have big noses" "You're tall for a Chinese person" YOU CANNOT GENERALISE LIKE THAT. If you picked 100 people from the same ethnicity, I can guarantee they would all look different. Different skin tones, hair/eye colours, heights, weight, EVERYTHING! You can get a blue eyed African and a brown eyed English person. You can get a black haired Irish girl and a Ginger haired Pakistani. It's not 'unusual' or 'strange'. 

Nothing to do with ethnicity now but.... Why do women have to feel so insecure with their bodies? Why is it that have to be curvy in the right places, no fat, not skinny, the right height, the right shape just to be found desirable in society? All sizes and shapes are beautiful and the only thing that should matter is if you are happy with your size. Tyra Banks did a show about how males from different ethnicities "preferred their women". They found that White and Asian people preferred their women like barbies: stick thin - whilst Black and Latino people liked their women curvy and thick. The white and Asian people were actually repulsed by the curvier women and said they should lose weight. 

I could honestly go on and on but I am really going off topic and I am ranting way too much now that I honestly think I am making no sense.. 

I'm sure you get the point of my wonderful blog post..

BEAUTY ISN'T DETERMINED BY YOUR ETHNICITY AND NO ONE FROM THE SAME ETHNICITY LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME WITH THE SAME FEATURES SO YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU GENERALISE

Open your minds, 

Peace. 

THE SKINNY TEATOX

THE SKINNY TEATOX!

Okay, this post is for all you ladies and gentlemen who want to lose weight and get fit and healthy! Are you tired of your sluggish ways? Fed up of your beer bellies and jiggly thighs? Well, my lovelies, I have the perfect solution for you!

The Skinny Teatox I will be reviewing today is the 14 day Teatox. The 14 day option which is 100% natural is the most popular option and on sale now for only 35$ you really cannot afford to let this deal pass. 

I have been wanting to lose a bit of weight for a while now and have also started the gym. I struggle with my diet as I am very lazy when it comes to eating healthily and always go for the easier options e.g. A takeout! I never wanted to try out weight loss pills as I have heard so many negative reviews on them, and after reading many positive reviews on the Skinny Teatox and seeing no negative reviews, I knew it would be perfect for me. 

So what is the Skinny Teatox?

The Skinny Teatox is a 100% natural detoxifying program which helps with weight loss and promotes good health. The Skinny Teatox speeds up your metabolism and at te same time, detoxifies and cleanses your body. The ingredients used in the Skinny Teatox are guaranteed to be 100% natural! There is none of that horrid stuff! And there are no preservatives or chemicals either! Yay! Even if you do not want to lose weight, the Skinny Teatox will also be great for you as it really helps to improve the condition of your skin. This is because it is taking out all the toxins from your body. 

                                            

Ingredients in the Skinny Teatox include: tea leaves, senna leaf, ginseng, chrysanthemum, cinnamon bark, cloves, rhubarb, ginger, and more.

How does the Teatox work?

The teatox is a two-step programme. You are given morning and evening tea (enough for 14 days). 

The extremely tasty morning tea helps to boost your metabolism and keeps you energised and awake throughout the day. Drink a cup of this and you're ready to take on the world. Literally! I travel to work and university very early in the mornings and always find that I feel lazy and tired throughout the day. On the second day of using the tea I already found myself becoming more and more awake and felt that I had so much more energy. I didn't change anything with my sleeping routine and didn't eat anything differently. The only thing I changed in my morning was drinking the tea. 

The evening tea is supposed to cleanse and detoxify your body. It helps to cleanse your system and get rid of all the 'baddies' in your body. After drinking this tea and 'cleansing' your body you feel so good afterwards. It helps you to have a good nights sleep because you feel so light. There is no bloated feeling at all. Because the evening tea gets rid of all the toxins in your body, it helps you to lose weight. My aunty actually lost 15 pounds in TWO WEEKS just by going on the 14 day Teatox. The evening tea is basically like a laxative. It will help you go to the bathroom more frequently which helps to cleanse your body. The Teatox should not give you any side effects like headaches, diarrhoea, vomiting or cramps. 

If you are going on the Teatox you cannot expect to lose stones just with the tea if you are not changing your bad habits. If you carry on eating unhealthily and do not exercise it will obviously be difficult to lose weight and you will not see many changes. Some foods I like to eat to help my Skinny Teatox diet go further are: fruit, vegetables, oats, fish and plenty of water. Foods and drinks I have been avoiding are: cheeseburgers, donuts, cakes, biscuits and fizzy drinks. The Teatox works 100%! I promise you, you will lose pounds and pounds with this product and only in 2 weeks! It seems unbelievable, I know. 

The 14 day Teatox usually costs 42$ but is on sale at the moment for only 35$ which is a huge bargain for such an amazing product.  

Where they deliver

Skinny Teatox only ships within the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Mexico.

Here are a few reviews by my friends and family:

Sofia, 36

Wow! This is actually amazing stuff! I have tried so many 'weight loss' products and none of them have ever worked for me. I found out about this programme online and was intrigued that by drinking my favourite drink: tea, I could lose weight! I am not kidding, I have lose 14 pounds in two weeks. I don't lose that much by going to the gym for 2-3 months! It's amazing.

Alisha, 19

I'm pretty slim but always seem to be bloated. I don't know what it is because I am the perfect weight for my height. My cousin told me to try this tea and I instantly ordered because something that detoxifies me was what I needed. I tried the 7 day Teatox and I am telling you now, IT WORKS! My stomach is almost flat now and there is basically no bloating. I have been visiting the bathroom a lot more regularly also, which of course, cleanses out your body.

Daniel, 24

I never drink tea but after hearing so many stories of people losing so much weight in only two weeks I decided to try it. I am on the heavier side of the scales so running up the stairs and even walking around for long in general can sometimes feel like a huge work out. After using this tea I have really noticed a difference and I feel as though I have much more energy. I am going to order more of this stuff because it is working on me and I encourage everyone else who wants to lose weight to order it too. 

There you go! Don't just take my word for it, try it out yourself! It's never too late to get that perfect body you have been dreaming of and the Skinny Teatox is one of the tastiest ways of achieving it!

Check them out and order yours today!
