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.

No one loves Lisa more than Lisa

Hey Cutie Patooties!
So today I had such a great day! Basically it's exam period here, so all my friends have been studying non stop! But I had no exams to study for as my course is 70% coursework based, this left me alone for about 2 weeks now, looking back at it, it probably would have been wiser to go home and be with my parents for a while, rather than staying here and eating all my money. I mean my parents would have loved it, and well, I wouldn't be living off pasta and pot noodle as I am now.

But today was an especially good day for me, as my friends had one of their exams today, I know that isn't the usual reaction to an exam, but they decided that they would treat themselves by having the whole day off, which mean't LISA TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though, before exams it was literally like "lets go out every night!" "every night is a mojito night!" Now I sit alone in my room with Netflix, watching all the marvel movies, either not microwaving the popcorn long enough so O have half a bowl of kernels or the other extreme, charcoal-ed ash like burnt flakes of what used to be buttery goodness.
But oh the joys of going out! I went shopping! Oh the splendors of shopping! First we ate in Nando's, now I don't know how strong your palette is, but I had only been into a Nando's once before, and that was for some birthday do. So I had no clue about this "spicy" thing in Nando's.
Okay, I'll give you some background, I'm half Thai, which means I was practically raised on chili's, I mean, I can handle heat! Well actually, I didn't actually know any different until I came to University.
 But my friends insisted "oh no I stick to the lemon and herb, anything above that kills me", and I mean that got me totally freaked out. So I was like, lets just stick with Medium. It claims to "hit the spot", but I have no idea what spot it hit, I mean it was mild! No heat at all. But hey, it was still good chicken. I mean, it's more like, thank fuck I actually missed meat. The two friends I mainly eat with are Philip and Zoe, I mean I more snack with Zoe on chocolate and popcorn, but I have a lot of my main meals with Phil, but they are both veggies, which means I don't eat as much meat as I used too. To me this is a good thing, before I came to university I was trying to cut down on the meat, I don't know why, but I was. I wanted to eat it about maybe once or twice a week? But my Father loves a steak and all that, so it was difficult. Now I would say none of my main meals contain any meat at all! If I'm in a restaurant then I'll have a nice steak but now when I'm cooking, or more like attempting to cook, I have to consider everyone else too (also I don't really fancy giving myself food poisoning).

But yes! Such a good day with my friends and now I feel all nurtured and LOVEDDDD!
I bought some items for my birthday outfit so I'm super excited now! I invaded my neighbours room just to float around in my dress! We share the same birthday so I was like "how do I look" again asking for love and praise hahahah! I'm so clingy!
JUST 4 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 FOR THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!!!!!
It's good to be here with my friends, nope actually, they're family, and the whole family is invited to celebrate MEEEEE!
