Bonjour! I just realised that I haven't written a blog post in ages, but lucky for you I went to see Iron Man 3 on Sunday and it was so amazing that I'm going to write a review of it, yay! I love all the Avengers superheros so I was so excited when this movie came out. I went to see it in 3D and it was so amazing!
I think everyone can agree when I say that the Avengers would be nothing without Iron Man/Tony Stark. What I love about the Iron Man movies are they are so full of action yet they are so funny as well, and Iron Man 3 was no exception. It's my favourite out of all the Iron Man movies and it's, by far, the funniest! There were a good few unexpected moments in the movie, which is always good because a movie can be rather boring when you can predict what's going to happen so that was something I liked about this movie. Like all superhero movies, there was a lot of action and thrill and amazing ass kicking. I don't want to give any of the movie away so I can't go into a lot of detail but it was just brilliant!
The cast is, also, amazing! I can't think of anyone who would do a better job at playing Tony Stark than Robert Downey Jr., he's just the perfect person for the job. He just makes the movie so funny and he is so very handsome. Gwyneth Paltrow was, also, perfect in the role as Pepper Potts. She's so badass and beautiful and she plays the role really well. My favourite out of the whole cast was probably Ben Kingsley as, the bady, The Mandarin! He was so fantastic in this movie, I love the character so much, he was just perfection which sounds weird since he's the bad guy but I just love him, haha.
I know this has nothing to do with the movie but since the review was kinda short, I might as well do an OOTD of what I wore to the cinema. I just wore black leggings with denim shorts and my aztec print converse but the best thing about my outfit was my gorgeous stripped oversized jumper from boohoo.com. It's orange, green, yellow and cream stripped and it's so soft and loose, I love it.
I know this isn't a very good review but it's really hard to talk about a movie and not ruin it for those who haven't seen it, but it is a movie that I recommend everyone goes to see because it is just so good. I would gladly pay to go see it a million more times, it was that good! Hopefully I'll get better at doing movie reviews in the future but thanks for reading :)

March Favourites 2013
Bonjour. I've never done a monthly favourites post before and I really enjoy seeing what products and things other people have been liking so I thought I'd share mine with you. I'm not only going to talk about all the beauty products I've been liking over the past month but also songs and movies, everything I've been enjoying recently and they're in no order or anything, I'm just listing whatever comes to mind first. So here's all the things I have enjoyed throughout the month of March.
A product that I have absolutally loved is the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in ''On and On Bronze''. It's a cream eye shadow that I like to use as an eye shadow base because it has amazing lasting power. I have really oily eyelids and I can wear this all day and it won't crease which is amazing. Also, it's such an amazing colour that sometimes, if I'm feeling lazy, I just wear it on its own and it still looks lovely. There are so many different colours and they're not expensive which is great. They will last ages, as well because you only need a little bit, they blend really nicely as well so that's good.
Another thing I've fallen in love with recently is the Urban Decay Naked Palette and everybody raves about this palette and I can see why. It has so many different colours and they're all gorgeous and you can make so many different looks with it because all the colours go so well together. It may seem a bit pricey but when you think about it, it has 12 gorgeous colours and they're really good quality so it really is worth the money. It also comes with the Urban Decay Primer Potion which is another product I've been loving. I use this as a base when I'm not using my Colour Tattoo and it keeps all my eye makeup in place throughout the day and it stop my eye shadows creasing, and that's around €19 or something, I'm not to sure exactly how much but I will probably be buying another one when this one runs out because it's so good.
This next product surprised me but I've been obsessed with the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara which I didn't think I'd like. Everyone who knows me will know that I swear by Maybelline The Falsies Flared, which I still love, but I tried the L'Oreal and it's amazing! I didn't like the look of the wand at first because it's a skinny wand but it combs through every lash and makes them so long. And it's great for bottom lashes, it separates them all but doesn't make them look like spider's legs, which I really like since I have really long bottom lashes.
This next product also surprised me when I started using it. It's the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner to thick sometimes so I thought I'd give gel eyeliner a try and it's so much easier. It stays really well and you can make it as thin or thick as you like. It comes with a little brush which is really easy to use so if you have trouble with liquid eyeliner then I recommend trying gel eyeliner.
A nail varnish I've been really enjoying is the Catrice Cosmetics Ultimate Nail Lacquer and I have 875 ''It's All I Can Blue'' which is a lovely bright blue colour. These nail varnishes are really cheap, you can get them in Pennys/Primark, whatever you call it. They're really good quality as well, it does take a few coats of the polish to get the colour opaque but they last quite well and don't chip easily so I really like them and there's an range of loads of different colours to choose from.
The last beauty product I've been loving is the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 107. I've had this for a while but I've been wearing it a lot lately and I've got quite a few compliments on it. It's a beautiful dark red/pink colour which can be wore as a stain if you apply a small amount and blend it out or you can build up the colour to make it pretty dark. These lipsticks have great staying power and they're not expensive. They also smell amazing and fruity which is nice. It has a matte finish which I really like but it can be easily wore with a gloss over it and it would still look great.
Hair products that I've been loving are the Timotei Vivid Colour Shampoo and Conditioner. I'd never heard of this brand before, I think my mam just got them in Tesco but they are really good. I know shampoo and conditioner are meant to clean your hair but these make my hair feel so incredibly clean. It makes my hair really soft as well and they smell nice which is always good for a shampoo and conditioner.
The next thing I've been loving recently is an album. It's Biffy Clyro's Opposites which is just pure amazing and seeing it live last week makes it even better. It's just such a great album, there's 22 songs on it so I'm sure there's a song for everyone on it, which I think is great.
A movie I really enjoying was Disney's Brave which I only saw recently because it's on Sky Demand. It's just a really good Disney movie and it has a good story but it is Disney so it's very cute, and who doesn't love a Scottish accent?
Anyway, that's all the things I've been enjoying over the past month and hopefully it will introduce you to some new things or products that you will, hopefully, enjoy as much as I have. Thanks for reading :)
