Illamasqua Unrequited Blush was one of the first expensive make up products I ever purchased and although I forgot about it for a little while, I'm so excited to have rediscovered it. It's a really light pink that just gives the perfect amount colour and I can't believe it was stuck at the back of a drawer for so long! I think it's been discontinued now but if you're looking for a similar Illamasqua blush, Nymph looks so pretty!
I remember reading Tom's Midnight Garden when I was younger and I think I really loved it, but I have to re-read it for Uni this week so I'm looking forward to reminding myself of the story. I'm pretty sure I wished I could stumble across a magical garden at midnight just like Tom, but I never did!
This was in a little parcel of goodies for a little challenge I'm taking part in very soon and I have been loving it way more than I thought I would! I think this is really encouraging me to be more active during the day, which is something I need because I'm SO lazy!

When you're watching YouTube videos, how long do you like them to be?
Are you having a lovely weekend?
I hope so!
Love, Jennie

ooo what a pretty blush, I need to try a few more things from Illamasqua. I don't mind too much how long YouTube videos are, if it is good content I will happily sit and watch.

They're such nice quality <3 x
DeleteOh, I should definitely add that book to my reading list! It sounds very cute :) xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely read (i think, from what i remember hehe) xx
DeleteI love these this week posts :) I really enjoy having a little nosy into peoples lives! xxx
ReplyDelete<3 <3
DeleteI want to read the book too. I love reading children literature among other things. As for youtube videos, I usually prefer them around 10 min or less, but if I really like the youtuber and a subject I don't mind if the video is a bit longer.

Me to, children's books are wonderful! xo
DeleteI love Unrequited, it's one of my prettiest pink blushers, I'm really sad it doesn't exist anymore.
ReplyDeleteI personally like long YouTube videos, 10 mins is nice but if I really like the person doing it, even 15-18 mins doesn't feel that long to me! xx
Ahh I know, I'm so pleased I've rediscovered it! ox
DeleteI love that Clean Bandit song- her voice is so pretty!

It's amazing! xo
DeleteUnrequited was such a pretty shade! It is a product that I didn't purchase because I was sure that it would work with my skin tone, but I wish I had taken the chance. I also love that Fitbit — it is so very pink!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! x
Deletesuch a pretty blush!I love weekend recap posts xx
ReplyDelete<3
DeleteGorgeous blush!!!I think it's perfect for your complexion!As for youtube videos, me too I prefer them arounfd less then 10 minutes!
ReplyDeleteKisses!
It's such a pretty colour <3
DeleteVery intrigued by the Fitbit Flex, looking forward to hearing more about it!
ReplyDeleteWith YouTube videos I think it really depends on what the content is - that's pretty unhelpful isn't it?! I think around 5-10 minutes is a good length for a lot of things but I do happily watch longer videos if I'm interested in the subject :) xx
Hehe I agree, I think 5-10 minutes is perfect xo
Deletethat blush looks really pretty, i can definitely picture you rocking it! :) how does that fitbit flex wristband work?

It somehow magically tracks your steps taken throughout the day and monitors the quality of your sleep at night, amazing! xo
DeleteThat is one beautiful blush!

I love it a lot <3
DeleteThe Illamasqua blush is gorgeous! As for Youtube videos I think 5 - 10 minutes max depending on the type of video :)
ReplyDelete<3
DeleteCan't wait to see what you think of the fitbit, I have been umming and ahhing about getting one for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to use it a little more !xo
DeleteLoop that blush is stunning!

It's so pretty <3
DeleteI'm really looking forward to knowing more about the fitbit. Hope you managed to finish your essay and had a good week end x
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely! xo
DeleteLove that blush! Regarding your question.. I think 5 mins is the best.. not too short not too long! x
ReplyDeleteholaflo.blogspot.com
I think that's a good length too! xo

Delete'Toms Midnight Garden' reminds me so much of 'The Boy
ReplyDeletein Striped Pyjama's' have you read this book yet? There's
a movie also, really sad story :c
Xx
I haven't but I definitely want to! xo
DeleteOoh that blush looks so pretty! I haven't read Tom's Midnight Garden but The Secret Garden was one of my favourites as a kid...in fact it still is now! I like YouTube videos to be about 10 minutes long max, any longer and I zone out a little xxx
ReplyDeleteI need to read the secret garden, it seems to be a lot of people's favourites! xo
DeleteI went out and bought that blush after this post. You're great! x

DeleteYour song suggestions are always pure winners! If you have the time it'll be great to see a few tunes you're liking as I think we have very similar tastes.
ReplyDeleteThe Illamasqua blush looks like such a perfect shade of pink! I bought a number 7 one from boots recently, they had an offer where you buy 1 you get the 2nd half price so it worked out to £4 which is great - looks very similar to the Illamasqua one you've stated.
Thanks for your comment too! very happy you like the little birds :o)
I definitely will do that really soon! Ooh that's such a good deal, I do love a good bargain! xo
DeleteI can't wait to see what you're up to with the Fit Bit & review it. I have been tempted to buy one in the hopes is encourages me to move about more.
ReplyDeleteOh & I like to watch YouTube videos that are under 15 minutes
http://www.letstalkbeauty.co.uk/
I'm really excited to use it a little more! xo
DeleteTom's Midnight Garden!!
ReplyDeleteWow I remember reading that as a kid - I loved it too, might have to see about re-reading it myself :)
Hmm maybe...
It's such a beautiful read! xo
DeleteWow I really like the song! I think 10 mins or less is best for YouTube videos because you can skip the rambles and enjoy it
ReplyDeleteKate xx
I agree <3
DeleteThat blush looks so pretty! I like Youtube videos to be around 10 minutes (or less) I usually don't have the time or patience to watch longer videos.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same! xo
DeleteThat blush is so pretty! -Hanna Lei

DeleteAh I absolutely loved Tom's Midnight Garden when I was younger, although I can hardly remember it now! Looking forward to reading more about the fitbit - I've been intrigued by it ever since I first heard about it! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely read. I'm really excited to try it out a little more! Xo
DeleteI'm a little addicted to Rather Be! I don't mind how long Youtube videos are, I think it depends on the content! If it's a really chatty/no product etc one then roughly under the 10 min mark, hopefully this means you're going to start uploading videos again! X
ReplyDeleteSuch a good song! I'm thinking about it <3
DeleteThat blush shade is so pretty! I think about 5-10 mins is a good length for a Youtube video x
ReplyDeleteTelina | Love, Telina
I totally agree <3
DeleteAh Jennie, you've done it again... Nymph is now on my wishlist! My favourite blush is by Illamasqua too, their Naked Rose one which was LE ): I quite like 10-20 minute long Youtube videos, broken up by some shorter 5-8 minute ones. Such a YT addict recently! x
ReplyDeletehehe me too! xo
DeleteYay for this tune making it to No.1! <3
ReplyDeleteI heard Clean Bandit speaking and they sounded really dedicated about making quality videos, something that this one definitely proves :-)
Sophie xox
They totally deserve it! xo
DeleteI am a massive Illamasqua freak (he he, see what I did there) it's my go to makeup brand for my kit nowadays! That's a gorgeous shade of blush.
ReplyDeleteRaffles Bizarre Blog
hehe i did ;) xx
DeleteI love that Illasmaqua blush, it looks so pretty! I prefer YT videos to be around the 10 minute mark, although depending on the topic and person I can happily watch a 25 minute video! :) x
ReplyDeletewww.natalielovesbeauty.com
I agree <3
DeleteI love Illamasqua. I just placed an order in their sale and ordered far too much - I definitely need to start a spending ban soon! x
ReplyDeleteJordan-Alice
Ooh exciting!! xo
DeleteWhen you're watching YouTube videos, how long do you like them to be? I don't mind how long as long as theyre worth every minute.
ReplyDeletebtw, i love the photos you took! <3 <3

DeleteYoutube videos for me can be anything from 10-15 mins :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the layout of this post by the way!

thank you! xo
DeleteI love Illamasqua! Their blushes are really nice, though I do find them to be a bit more powdery - if I swirl my brush into the blush, powder gets everywhere haha.
ReplyDeleteAs for your question, I like longer videos even though a lot of people seem to dislike that. Maybe around 10-15 minutes?
xx becky / star-violet.com
I like that they're really finely milled <3
DeleteIt depends on what the video is about, or who it is really. Some people I get sick of them after five mins, others I can watch for 20. That was no help, sorry! haha
ReplyDeletehehe
DeleteI can't wait to read about the fitbit! I'm so intrigued. <3
ReplyDeleteTara xo
I'm really interested to hear about the fitbit. I'm becoming a slight gym bunny and can't wait to hear all this little challenge! I'd say 10-15 mins is always best for You Tube. I hope you will be returning with more vlogs?! :) x
