An another slightly more unexpected loved from the range is the Body Fondant. I bought this purely out of curiosity as I'd never really tried a product like this before, and t I didn't really have high expectations, However, I was pleasantly surprised.
Zoella Sweet Inspiration Range
Yes, I've jumped on the bandwagon, with a post on the new Zoella beauty range, however with such adorable packaging why wouldn't you want to have photographs of it all over your blog, especially when there are people wanting to hear what others have to say about these products before purchasing, and for those who haven't been able to resist buying from the latest Zoella Beauty range, it's always interesting to see if others share the same opinion as you. Like most things which pass off our lips, there's is a reason people are talking about it, so I thought I'd have my say.
I kind of have mixed feelings about the collection. As I have touched on, the packaging is very pretty, and I think really echo's Zoe and the Zoella brand beautifully. The scent I also love. It's very sweet, but not sickly. I went into Superdrug and spritzed the fragrance to see what I thought, having smelt the fragrance I decided it was a winner and picked up a few bits; the Bath Latte, Body Cream, and Body Fondant. Throughout the rest of that day I found myself catching a whiff on the Body Mist, every now and then and falling more in love with the fragrance, so a few days later I returned to Superdrug and bought the rest of the range (besides the makeup bags, I have far too many of those already). As you can tell my very first impression of the range was pretty good. Now I've covered the aesthetics and the scent, let's get to the actual products.
I have found myself enjoying the Double Cream, the most. I have been looking forward to putting on my body moisturiser , which is a task I often find annoying and skip quite a lot. However, as I love this scent, and the thickness of this cream I am enjoying this step a lot more. This is definitely a product I'm going to repurchase. I like the scent, the formula, how it leaves my body feeling, the packaging, and the price. It's an all round win-win situation with this one.
The body fondant looks quite dark in the packaging. I opened it up and thought 'oh dear lord this is going to look ridiculous on my pale skin', which I was very wrong about. On the skin it offers a subtle iridescent shimmer and a small hint of warmth, yet has no effect on the colour of your skin. The best way I can think to describe this is a body highlighter which adds a subtle, healthy and pretty glow to your skin - which is perfect for me because I don't fake tan, but sometimes I do think it would be nice to give a little something extra to my skin. I like the balm formula to this also, it's not too heavy, or drying either. The body fondant also comes with a cute little puff for the application which is soft and makes for a quick and even finish. I do find a packaging of this one a bit odd. It's cute I know that, but the Zoella logo on the side of the lid is facing downwards, so they writing on the side looks upside down - or with the writing the correct way you have the ingredients and the boring bits at the top of the packaging, has anyone else noticed this? It's confused me slightly (I have just looked it up - it appears mine is the only one like this, what? Someone messed that packaging up).
From this range I was most excited for the bath products, I love a good bath (who doesn't?), so I was most excited when I saw Zoe was releasing her 'Bath Latte'. Straight after I purchased this I ran myself a bath and poured some in. I like the actual product, it smells great and produced lovely bubbles but I have been getting through it quite quickly. I have found you need to use quite a lot to create the super bubbly bath which I'd expected from a less of the product and the bubbles don't last as long as I would like, however, they may be partly because I tend to have the longest baths ever. I do really like the product, and for the price it's great, but I don't think it's any more special than any other bubble bath I've previously used. Also, the bottle is very sweet, but it would be so much more sophisticated (can packaging even be sophisticated?) if it were glass. However, you get what you pay for.
I felt somewhat disappointed with the Bath Salts. You get a lot of them considering the price, but I had a bit of a fail with opening them, as I pulled the plastic packaging apart, it did not come open as I expected, instead it ripped across the centre of the bag and bath salts went everywhere, which really was not ideal! However that could just be how I opened the packet rather than because of the actual packaging, and the outer box made this less of an issue as I could pop them back into the box with less worry about them spilling out of the broken bag. Again, I found I needed quite a lot of these bath salts to make a difference to my bath, which isn't necessarily a problem as there was so many in the packet. The bath salt infused my bath with that splendid sweet smell - however, they don't achieve much more than a faint pretty scent.
The bath fizz bar I found to have quite a similar effect to the bath salts it added a light scent to my bath, but not really doing a lot more than that, although it is quite satisfying to watch it fizz away in your bath. I also love the bar concept to this, it's a great way to allow you to easily break off the amount you want. I've found myself adding a line of this to each bath which is three squares, but if that's not enough for you can always add more.
Lastly, the Body Mist, the product which attracted me to the rest of the range. Firstly I 'll say this product feels a lot more pricey and therefore feels a lot more luxurious than you'd expect with it £8 price tag.
The scent I find it longer lasting and higher quality than I'd expect for a body mist so I've been using it as though it's perfume rather than a mist. I find this is a great scent to wear to work, because it smells lovely, and when used just on the neck, wrists etc as you would a perfume it is fairly subtle, yet very pretty and. of course it's such a good price you don't have to worry about using up your expensive fragrances on a daily basis, but still smell great.
I'm sorry for the length of this post, apparently, I had a lot more to say on the range than I'd realised .
I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've tried any of these bits out.
Love,
Chloé

Yesterday I finished reading Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. I know there has been a lot of talk about this book, especially in the blogging world. Rather than discuss the writer, whether that may have been Zoe or anyone else, I want to talk about the writing, story and the book.
Being 23, I am obviously slightly outside of the demographic this book was aimed at - I am no longer the young teenage girl, although I once was. However, I feel that's safe enough grounds to review this book as although it may not be written for me as I am not, it is aimed at the girl I was years back.
Despite being a little old for the story, I wanted to read it, mainly out of curiosity - having watched Zoe's videos for ages, I was interested to see what book she could bring. I have to say, I was pretty impressed, I found the story more intriguing than I imagined.
I finished the book in just a few days so, I clearly I was enjoying picking it up and reading it every night. The book was such an easy read, I think mainly because it is written aimed at teenagers - however, I liked that it was such an easy casual read, it didn't take too much thinking to read - the perfect book to read when you want to switch off and relax.
What I love about this book is how many issues that occur in modern-day society are covered, such as online bullying, homosexuality and anxiety. Problems which teenagers face a lot more regularly than I feel a lot of people realise, of course, these issues are subtly placed in a cute little love story with a pretty relatable main character (although I feel some of the other characters weren't quite so realistic).
The book was funny, sweet and relatable, I can understand why any teen girls would love it. Although aspects were quite unrealistic, is that really a problem when we read to escape reality?
I think you need to get through the first few chapters until the book becomes really enjoyable, but isn't that the case with most books?
All of the chapters are quite short, which I think makes it much more manageable if you're a slow reader or don't read often.
I have got to say I found the book pretty enjoyable on a casual level, although the book isn't quite so thought-provoking as others, it is a great story for teenage girls - the story reminds me a little of Notting Hill which is one of my favourite films!
I would love to hear some of your thoughts on the book.

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg - Book Review
I said in my recent New Year resolution blog post and video (blog post here) that this year I would like to read more. I have got to say, so far it is going pretty well, I have already read one new book this year!

Reading List
Despite being the little book worm I am, whilst being at university reading was something I somewhat neglected. I either had far too much uni work to be getting on with, or living as a student there was always something, or someone to distract me. I, therefore, decided that when I finished uni the first thing on my do list (besides getting a job and figuring out what I want to do with my life, of course) was of course re-read my all-time favourite series, Harry Potter. I am now halfway through The Order of the Phoenix, and as I feel I will soon finish the series all over again, so I can't help but make a mental list of what I would like to read next now I am back into the swing of reading regularly, so I thought I'd share with my little blog what's on my reading list...
1) Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
This book hardly needs an introduction, I'm sure you have all heard tonnes about it, especially since the recent movie release. I have only heard good things about this book, and definitely want to make sure I get around to reading it before I watch the film.
2) Not that kind of Girl - Lena Dunham
If I'm honest I don't know all that much about Lena Dunham, however, I've heard good things about this, and I'm curious.
3) The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
Tanya Burr spoke about this book a few times in vlogs and a favourites video (and as we all know I'm Tanya's biggest fan), ever since hearing about it, I've been looking forward to reading it. I get the impression it is a really gripping read where you get lost in another world which is exactly what I love in a book.
4) Girl Online - Zoe Sugg
This is actually listed as a children's book and as I turn 23 in a few days I'm slightly out of the demographic... however I couldn't not include this. I'm super excited to get my hands on Zoe's book when it comes out, I'm just really curious to see what it is like, and I feel slightly more connected with it already as I know a lot more about the author than I do with most books.
5) Paper Towns - John Green
I have been a big fan of John Green since before all the hype around The Faults in our Stars as I read Looking for Alaska about 4 years ago and it has been my favourite book ever since, however still the only two John Green books I have read our The Faults in our Stars and Looking for Alaska as I mention I abandoned reading for quite a while, now I'm reading more and more I'm itching to pick up another book by John Green to see if he can impress me yet again. I've heard great things about Paper Towns so I'm really looking forward to reading this one.
6) #Girlboss - Sophia Amorusa
Another one I have heard good things about so I'm curious. Not my usual read but I think this could be really insightful and interesting.
What books are your favourites and what have you got on your reading list?
