Hi Beautybots,
It has been a while since I wrote a post! I (Baby Bird) am going to compare Books to Ebooks with Summer coming to a end we have had lots of time to test both of these, with me loving books I am thinking about doing my top 10 books so let me know if you would like to read something like that! Anyway I am going to compare the pro's and con's of both. We hope you don't mind the fact that this isn't a beauty post but I just thought this would be a nice post to write.
Books:
We absolutely love books we love the smell the fact that you can turn a page we love the thickness and the fact that we can cuddle up in my bed at night with a mug of water and book and completely block out the outside world! The worst thing about a book is that they are quite more expensive than Ebooks because of the actual paper and the colour of the front page. That is probably the best thing about a book the front cover how they are all different and they are so bright and they really give a strong message about what the book is about although "don't judge a book by it's cover". The book that I am reading at the moment is A Message For The King and is a translate book but it is really good and is not my type of book as I am really a kind of romantic reader and like all the sobby stuff but this is the complete opposite and is action-packed.The Book Sister Bird is reading at the minute is called the Yorkshire Shepherdess.
E-books:
Ebooks are absolutely brilliant for taking on holiday because if you are like me and when you go on holiday you come back with a square on your face from where you've read your book whilst sunbathing then you know that books are quite heavy and large and you can't fit many in your bags so you always run out of reading material and end up searching round in the shops for a book then Ebooks are brilliant because it holds millions of books and weighs less than one book! The only downside for us is that 1 you can't turn the pages which we don't like because we like the feeling of turning a page (maybe that's just us) 2 it doesn't show colours of front pages so you can't see how pretty they are (or at least you can't on the orginal kindle which is what I have) 3 you can't physically see how far you are from the end over than the bar that says 30% etc..... The last book I read on my Ebook was Fangirl which is a girl who writes fanfiction online and goes to university and has to be broken up from her sister but ends up falling in love with her room mates boyfriend on accident.
Let me know in the comments which books you have read and love and recommend to me because I am open to new books!
Keep Reading (literally)
Hey Beautybots,
Yep we are back to posting! Recently Rimmel have produced a new line of tinted lipbalms in an attempt to dupe the Maybelline Baby Lips. But the questions is - does it achieve that? and how are they as a product?!
How are they as a Lip Balm?
The Lip Balms as themselves are great and we prefer to apply lip balms before going to bed which is a great way for your lips to be nourished for when we get up. It seems to do the job pretty well. Maybe nothing to hype about for that one factor however after a thorough use the product does itself justice. If you do struggle with cracked or sore lips then it does work well to sooth and nourish. Although it may not be the best lip balm ever it still does the job. What is your Favorite Lip Balm?
What is the Colour Range?
The line comes in various shades, like for example Keep and Calm and Rock which is the Berry Blush shade that actually applies lighter than you would expect (although only slightly) so be wary of that when you purchase (always swatch the tester first!). Keep Calm and Rock is the one that me (Sister Bird) and Mummy Bird purchased and so far it is safe to say that we are pleased with the result. However talking about the product as a collection the lip balms are in a pink-purple set including Keep Calm and Shop that is a very light pink compared to the darkest shade which is Keep Calm and Party being a bold purple for the more adventurous type. Altogether they tint your lips well and after applying at around 11am it is still visible a few hours later.
How does it compare to Maybelline Baby Lips?
As said above the Rimmel Keep Calm is a dupe for the Maybelline Baby Lips in our opinion so therefore it is important to discuss the matter of how it compares. To start of with the look is very similar and it is packaged in the same way. It is great how both set have clear collections with standard name like Baby Lips part of the "Baby" set that they are doing. It is also great however that Rimmel have incorporated the "in" Keep Calm slogan and have come up with creative names that match the colour and maybe when you would use such a colour. As a lip balm they both do the same job, although we are more leaning towards Baby Lips as you get more in each product and therefore it lasts longer if you use it everyday. On the factor of nourishing though they are quite evenly matched but Maybelline may be a small inch ahead. A weird factor to call this one to a close is the smell - we have to admit that the Baby Lips smell amazing each one having a distinct smell. That however in our opinion can't be said for the Keep Calm Collection although they smell amazing they just do not compare to the fabulous smell of Baby Lips. Although you do not go around smelling lip balms normally we just wanted to stress about the smells as they are truely great. This factor combined with other leads us to suggest that Maybelline Baby Lips are the better collection however that is not to say that the Rimmel is bad as it is slightly cheaper to do a good job.
Where do I get them From and How much do they Cost?
If you are in the UK or NI then you can get these pretty easily from the common beauty retailers including Boots and Superdrug for the cheap price of £2.99. Which is a great deal for what you get! However if you live anywhere else you can order it online to be delivered.
Will you be ordering yours now?
Thanks for Reading, Comment
Hey Beautybots,
So as you may have noticed all our previous posts have been deleted. We thought we would need a new start to revamp the blog.
Sometimes in your life you hit a bump in the road and that's how we think the blog just stopped. Throughout the last year we haven't been doing to well post wise - we had lost all consistancy we have ever had. If you are a long time reader then you will know our first posts well they just lacked anything that is remotely professional however we consistantly posted........
Lacking this one thing has mean't that we have been having some trouble keeping everything in tact and especially keeping everything running. Because of all this we have decided the best thing to do would be to delete all the posts and start again!
Why not just delete the blog and start a new one?
The problem with that would be that we have worked so hard to get the followers and the views that we have got and also having this blog for 1 year and a half now has left it some sentimental value and we don't want to lose that!
How will this Change the way we Run the Blog?
Well, we need to have a meeting and plan everything that is going to happen however in the meantime just to explain all the main changes.
- There may be a change in web address as we never really wanted ourworldersbeauty.blogspot.co.uk to be the title however if that does happen we will give you notice so you can get ready for the change stating the new web adress for our regulars to find. This could also influence new people to find the blog!
- Different Themed Days for example at the minute we are thinking of Photography Friday?, NOTW?, What I Like Wednesday? - What do you think of these?
- Also Get the Looks, Theme Week & Snaps will all be re-discussed to see if doing them has at all benefited you viewers and also the way our blog is heading!
- Un-Beauty related posts will be more frequent as we want to spread the leaves of our blogger tree to more subjects however we are not sure what this includes just yet. Any suggestions for any of these points will be appreciated!
Introducing Us!
Now when we had all of our posts still intact we didn't properly introduce ourselves just with little bits and bobs here and there however this time we want to do it properly!
As you may or may not know three girls from the UK run this blog. We are still in school and are learning as we teach you. Our Names are Amie, Beth and Alice. Here is a bit about ourselves.
Amie - Hey Guys, I'm Amie however on this blog you will see the name Sister Bird! I am the youngest of the birds as my birthday is in the summertime! A lot of people spell Amie, Amy or Aimee however it is still pronounced the same! I am a huge you tube fan and a dedicated simmer as I recently got the Sims 3 for my birthday! In case you were wondering the expansion packs I have so far are the base game, Pets and Seasons and I hope to get generations soon! Which do you recommend? Obviously I love Make-Up and Beauty however I am also a huge bookworm but more importantly the Biggest Harry Potter Fan! I went to the Studio Tour and it was great. Anyway I hope you like the change and have appreciated us making this change as it was all for what we thought was best for you!
Beth - Hey Beautybots, as it says to the left i'm Beth however i will be known as Mummy Bird on this blog. I am in fact the oldest of us three birds which makes sense being called Mummy Bird. A little bit about me as that i love to perform although dancing is my favourite by quite a bit in terms of performing. I am very dedicated to my dancing the other Birds will agree with me on this i'm sure! Being a part of my local Operatic society has been a part of my life for quite a few years now and recently the other two birds have joined which has made it even better. Apart from this i am also like the other Birds a massive YouTube fan and not forgetting Make-Up and Fashion is something i absolutely love! I have always aspired for the future to perform all around the world doing what i love, which is Dance!
Alice - Hey, I'm Alice and I will be known as Baby Bird - I am not the youngest but by quite a bit the smallest. I am a mixer and dedicated to Little Mix from the start. I also like to dance and act like Mummy Bird however unlike Mummy Bird I want to take a different career path.
