Ink me up like blotting paper aka a review

Hey My mini margarita's!
I'm back!! Like officially back, going to try and blog at least every 2 days, hopefully everyday! 
But today~ I'm going to do a review on Orelia's body tattoo's!

(These images were taken from Orelia's official page, and are not my own.)

As you guys know, I am a university student, which means we tend to go out a lot! This week was the first week back so our university bar held all different kinds of parties for our January intakes of freshers. I wanted to stand out. Vain right haha! But these did the trick. 
Ease of use 
The body art was so simple to use, if you've never used fake tattoos before, there were simple ease to read instructions on the back. 
Simply cut the design you so chose out, peel off the plastic and place on skin and dab with a wet cloth for about a minute! How much more easier can it get? Fabulous! 10/10


Aesthetics 
These patterns typically come in gold, which some people aren't that fond of, as they say it doesn't go with my skin tone or my hair colour, or I find gold too flashy. Not here Hun, not here. These beautiful intricate designs are a subtle gold, a gentle touch, rather than a clump in the face. It matches all, and if you ask me it makes your face look much more alive and interesting! 
I like to put the smaller ones such as the tiny little hands on my forehead, I think this look is gorgeous for big parties and festivals! 
The only thing I would point out is that when you move it does crinkle up a bit, it stays on, it doesn't tear but you can see small crinkles! So 9/10
(Sorry for cropping you out Dan, but you have nothing to do with this post and you were pulling an ugly face...)
Sizes
These came in a range of sizes and patterns, for example in the picture above I was wearing a tiny gold and silver  hamsa hand,  but you could also get a huuuuuuge henna tattoo for your lower back! Lines of pretty patterns weaving amongst each other to make a cute vibrant choker that won't actually choke you! 
So there's a real diverse range so I'm going to give it a 9/10. Because there were not enough small ones, I would have like a whole pack of mini tats. Do that for me please Orelia, I beg of thee!
Durability.
These precious gold designs actually lasted the whole night. And it wasn't a pretty party. I got drink splashed all over my face, sweat from dancing in a overheated room and finally this happened:

Yep. That is lipstick all over everyone's faces, because we all look better as cute cats but at the same time... No one ever tells drunk people lipstick smudges. 
But the tattoo stayed in place! It went through all that crap and didn't smudge in the slightest! marvellous! When I got back to my room at 3am it only came off with a makeup wipe, which make me think, that is great, I'm going to try and wear this to the pool.. I'll let you know how that ends up :')
10/10
Cost 
The price of the pack I bought was £5 for 6 different tattoo's, so if you think about it, each tattoo cost around 83p each, I personally think that's great, I mean for the beauty of these designs and the unique colour and patterns i think that its a total bargain, however they can range to say £10 for 3. I suppose that's all a matter of personal opinion, as I know you can go up to Camden market and get them a hella a lot cheaper or even in places like Clair's accessories.
So trying to bear all this in mind, I will give the price a 7/10.

overall 45/50.
you can pick up one of these cute packs here on their site: http://www.orelia.co.uk/
or in your closest topshop.

How to ruin your image, a true story by Lisa Collins

Hey pineapples
So today I decided to blog about my night, so today was the first "party day" back at bucks. Everything was going swell, I looked good, my makeup was on point! I was wearing a cute dress and I was feeling great! 
Then I spoke to HIM again, he had become really confusing. We were mates, that's it. Then he texts everyday through break and well makes me confused with what's happening between us. 
I came back yesterday, completely alone and well I felt like crap. I had had the best time back home in Barnet, I was with my friends and I was happy. But I was so excited to go back and see everyone here in Buckingham. But when I came back I was so lonely, the people I believed to be my closest friends here didn't even try to be with me and well I ended up crying to Zoe for about half an hour. But everything was sorted out the next day.
Now as promised, here is how to have a shit time. 
I was pretty. I was happy. I was living my happy chirpy life. Then he wanders in, acting like how he use to, again my emotions are in haywire, he doesn't like me, why is he doing this?! I will admit here, I still like him. As much as I try to hate him, I just can't. And I'm so sorry to all my friends who know better. 

We act like how we use to, why did I let him lead me on? Later on people ask me what's happening and why we're acting like so. How can I tell them I'm the worlds biggest idiot? How can I tell them that after they gave me such precious and good advice I'm still stuck in the same dilemma . 
He tells me he wants to be friends, so do I. But at the same time I'm so tired of him. I don't know where I stand with him anymore, what to do, how to behave. Tell me what to do. I'm only young, and this is my first heartbreak.
He sends a message to my ex "I prefer him over you." Why, why would you lead me on like that. Like I have a chance. 
I end up crying from 10pm to midnight, until my friends finally take me home since I've gathered quite a crowd,
All gossiping about how he's a dick. He's not, he's great, it's not his fault I like him so. Okay so he lead me on a little, but don't all guys to a certain extent? 
My image had always been sweet cute kind Lisa. Now I feel as if everyone pities me, poor heartbroken Lisa, so innocent, so vulnerable. It's true I suppose, still makes me a pity party.
So there's my new image, to freshers I'mthat  girl crying in the corner who looks as if she's been dumped. To my friends, I'm sweet Lisa who has been played. To everyone else in UOB that's knows of me, I'm Lisa, the broken girl. Great. Image gone. 
Well everyone has their first heartbreak, and as much as I try to deny it. I've had mine. Fuck love. Just fuck it. 
I'll probably regret this post in the morning. But another title for this post could be " confessions of an idiot desperate for love."
What worse is that everybody I care about leaves me, my best friend left me and went to the kingdom in the sky, my friends from school have all moved on, and now so has he. He tired of me. And I'm stuck. Left behind again. Who else is left to leave me... Sorry I'm feeling sorry for myself... Ignore me haha
Good night people, hope you have better luck finding love than me.
