Rimmel Stay Matte and Divergent

Oh hey, it's Sally!

Remember me? Oops so it's been a while since I posted because I've just been going to school and what not so nothing really interesting had been happening.

A few weeks ago, I had to make a new purchase of powder because my Clinique Super-balanced Powder ran out and then when I went off to buy a new one, turns out it's been discontinued. *Insert depressing noise* So, I just went to the local pharmacy and bought the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Peach Glow. Wow this stuff is good!
Also, it's much cheaper than my Clinique powder which I also loved but really, I think they're about the same so I'm now happy that I found this. The only downside to it is I don't like the packaging, I wish it had a mirror in it and sometimes, I find the cover a bit hard to get off. Also it doesn't look very nice which is why I guess I never bought it before.

I finished reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer a while ago and boy that book was good. Now, I've just started reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. Apparently, I was told if I'm a fan of the Hunger Game series, I should be a fan of this so I bought it on my Kindle. Unfortunately, I'm too early in the book to comment how I feel about it and give a proper review but I will when I've finished reading it. So far it has drawn me in well and I'm glad it's a trilogy so I have two more books to read before I have to go hunting for another book.

That's all I've really got to say for today. A short sweet post! Hope you enjoyed reading it! For those of you who just started school, good luck! Talk to you later,

The Host and an Apple Crumble Recipe!

Hey there, Sally here!

I'm not to sure if many of you have read The Host by Stephanie Meyer? I wasn't a big fan of her Twilight series but I must say that this book is worth reading. I've read 75% of it according to my Kindle and it's so good I can't stop reading. Basically it's about this alien race that go to different planets and they have to live off a body like a parasite. The soul (what the aliens are called) take over your brain and basically you lose your identity. That's all I'm going to say because I'm scared I'm going to give too much away. Anyway, there's a movie as well for those of you who don't like reading and it's a great movie! I might do a little reading section in my blogs whenever I finish a book if you're interested?
