Harry Potter Studios

 
 
 


 

 
 
 
The other day I went to the Harry Potter Studios near London and I was not disappointed! I was shown around the great Hall and got to see some of the sets such as the cupboard under the stairs, the Gryffindor common room, Dumbledore’s office,  Platform 9 3/4 , Diagon alley etc. It seemed so wired seeing the sets and props from the films but it was also a magical experience I will never forget and I would recommend going to anyone, even my dad enjoyed it and he hasn’t seen any of the films or read any of the books. I even got to try some butter bear which was surprisingly nice and I was able to buy a chocolate frog and it came with a wizard card just like in the film. I was even taught how to use a wand, how to ride a broom stick and I even got to go on the Hogwarts express! Do you know what made it even better? There was a Starbucks there!! OMG I was so happy.

Overall, I had an amazing and magical time at the Harry Potter and if you are considering going, go you will not regret it!

Glossybox Review

 
Recently I decided to subscribe Glossybox a company which delivers 5 beauty products to your door once a month as I had seen that they offer 30% off your first 2 boxes on the UNIDAYS app (where you can get discounts at different shops and websites if you're a student) and this is the starter kit box I received. This is not sponsored by Glossybox.
 
I was very impressed with the quality of the packaging and the way the whole box was presented and the fact that it was pink my favourite colour was a bonus and I will definitely be using the box again.
This is an overlook at the products inside the box. It included:
A Wilkinson Sword Intuition, ultra-moisture razor. I have tried this razor and in my opinion it is amazing, you don't need any shaving cream when using, it gets rid of the hairs really quickly without hurting and it leaves the skin so smooth and soft to touch. I will absolutely be repurchasing this again.
A NAOBAY, protective hair mask- volume conditioner. I have also tried this product and I am again very impressed, not only do I love the packaging (I really like packaging for some reason) but the smell is divine it smells like gingerbread with an extra spice and I know it doesn't really sound good but believe me it is and my hair still smelled of it even after I had washed it out, I think this smell would be a great Autumn smell. The mask conditioned my hair and I look forward to using it again.
A The Vintage Cosmetic Company, floral slanted tweezers. Unlike the other products so far I have not used this yet as I already have a pair of tweezers similar to this that I am currently using so I will either keep this a backup or I will give it to a friend as the one I currently use has a better design. But I do think that it is a unique and pretty design.
A Royal Apothic, Lip tinties. I have tried this product and I am mostly impressed. It makes the lips feel smooth and soft, it makes the lips look slightly darker which I like, it smells yummy and makes me want it eat it (not literally but you know what I mean) and I have to talk about the packaging I am in love with it, the rose gold top is beautiful!!! The only things I don't like about the product is how it's quite hard it is to get the lip butter out of the container and that there isn't that much product inside which I find disappointing.
A Nicka K New York, 24/4 Waterproof Eyeliner. I have tried this product and I have mixed reviews about it. I really like the colour as I think it goes well with my green eyes and it's nice to have eyeliner that isn't the usual black colour and it glides really nicely onto my skin. However, I found it really hard to smudge it under my eye as I like to create a smudge effect there and when I did finally smudge it didn't look nice at all. Because of this I think I would like to buy a brown eyeliner again but probably not this one.
Overall I am really impressed with the quality of most of the products sent to me by Glossybox and I am very glad that I decided to subscribe to this service and will continue to use most of these products. Just to say all opinions expressed above are my own and I paid for this box myself.

Hi my name is Sian and I am a young adult who lives in England and I am a student. I have a dog who means the world to me. I enjoy shopping especially when it comes to buying makeup and clothes (sometimes I can get carried away!). Other obsessions of mine are food, particularly when it comes to cake and chocolate, Disney, I have practically watched every Disney film there is and someday hope to go to Disney world and then there's Harry Potter, I love the films so much and get that caught up in them I struggle to focus on my studying.
