So most people that played Infamous Second Son loved the game right? And most women who played the game fell in love with Delsin (or Troy Barker as he was mocapped to look identical to his voice actor). When Insert Coin Clothing announced an Infamous range I instantly pre-ordered every upcoming piece. First to be released was this wonderful hoody...

I have always struggled to find a foundation or colour tint I could use on my skin which moisturised, especially in the summer as my skin is super dry. But when visiting Lush recently I was advised this colour supplement which has turned out to be a pleasant surprise...

So I originally tried to make this into a YouTube video, but my exporting software and mac decided to have a small mental breakdown. And as people actually enjoying reading my blog I thought why the hell not write about this. This blog is mainly for reviews, but why not have a moment now and again huh?
I wanted to speak about my first ever gaming experience and how this turned me into the gamer I am today. Some people like to refer to me as a 'gurl gamer' and this upsets me. I am a gamer, end of. My gender should have nothing to do with it. All gamers, male and female should be classed as a singular unit. If a woman wants to flaunt her body whilst 'playing' games then okay, but that's not me at all.
So when I was around 6-7 I remember my Dad bringing home a PC and a game he had heard 'SO MUCH ABOUT!' and the game was Myst. If you haven't heard of this game then you really haven't lived (and I suggest you log in to Steam or GoG and buy it right now). Myst is a first-person puzzle adventure game through an interactive world, where you could literally click on almost anything and it would reveal some kind of hint into what the purpose of this mysterious deserted island was.
You are given possibly the smallest amount of backstory when you play and just kind of thrown into the game, and f**k me this game was outstandingly hard. There are no goals for you to get to, you literally have to work with what you have and make notes, go back and forth for hours on end until something starts happening. Your character is also a huge mystery and you are just known as the Stranger.
This game was literally family bonding time for me and my Dad, I would get home from school and sit down with my Dad while he played and write down combinations we had found, or any important notes we needed. My Dad is dyslexic so this was also a chance for us both to learn. I also recently re-purchased this game and I struggled so bad (even used a YouTube guide for help, so god knows how me and my Dad completed it!) I absolutely adored these moments with my father and although I spent my fair share of time outside climbing trees and pretending to be witches with my friends, sitting behind the computer for a few hours a week was so much fun...especially when he brought a SNES home. But that's for another day.
I just wanted to write this little piece as recently I've seen girls getting slammed for not being true gamers, and joining a bandwagon by playing CoD in their pants for mens enjoyment. Although this does in fact happen and really makes me feel uncomfortable, it also makes me appreciate how much of a true gamer I am and how I've grown up playing games these girls would never even have heard of.
We are a gaming community and we should appreciate all games for what they provide us.

So MUA have released a selection of four new lip lacquer colours, and after the success of the previous ones I jumped at the chance to pick all four of these babies up!

So I recently went into Lush as I've been feeling a bit run down and I don't want the affects of this to show on my face and they recommend me some awesome products. The first was this Breath of Fresh Air toner water.

I was lucky enough to have had a friend purchase some lovely BP. nail polishes for me when she went to L.A a few weeks ago. I thought I would swatch the colours for you because they are BEAUTIFUL! And really lovely for the summery weather!
