Moves App
Hey! Today I'm going to do something a little different and tell you about this app that I have been absolutely loving at the moment!
The app is called Moves and it basically just tracks your steps but it also can tell how many steps you've took in certain buildings, how long you've ran,cycled, been in transport etc.
It doesn't seem to do what other things like this does and count false steps as it looks to see if you've been traveling aswell!
Although this seems a strange thing to recommend it is so good and free!
You can also link it to certain other apps that count calories etc and together they show how many calories you've burnt and how many you've put on
I don't know if you can get this app on other smartphones but I know you can definitely get it in the Apple Store
Thankyou for reading:)

August Goals!
Hello everyone! I am really big on like goal setting and deciding long and short term goals, so every month I write down a few things that I want to do that month, nothing is too big but they're all just little things that I think will have a small positive effect on my life, I'm going to go through a few of them now!
I also found this cute picture on Google that I really like!
1. Drink More Water; this always seems to crop up on my little 'goals' I guess you could say, I could go a full day without really drinking anything if I wasn't doing anything too active which obviously isn't great so I really want to drink at least 1L of water per day!
2. Eat Healthier; I am soo bad at this! I can go a few days eating healthy but then I get offered like a McDonalds and I can't refuse! I'm not really concerned for my weight at the moment but it just would be nice if I ate a little healthier.
3. Exercise More; I really want to just go on like jogs sometimes and actually exercise instead of just sitting all day doing nothing! I always want to go jogging but never have anyone who would want to go as much as I do because I wouldn't want to always go alone!
4. Go Out More; Since I've wrote down these goals I've actually started this one quite well even though it's not August yet! I don't just want to stay at home all the time, I want to go out more and actually do something good with my days!
5. Make Memories; This is one that I especially want to do, I just want to remember so many good things when I look back this year, I want there to be so many memories that when I think about the 2013 at the end that I won't immediately think of the bad things, I'll think of the wonderful memories I've made.
So they're just a few of the things that I have set myself to do from August, I hope you found this interesting to find out a bit more about me. Thankyou for reading!

MUA Product Reviews
Hello! Over the last few months I have really been loving the MUA products, which are sold at Superdrug, they sell super affordable, good quality items and I have been buying them a lot over the last few months I have really started to enjoy using them, I decided that I was going to show you all of the MUA products and have and give a short review on them.
First of all I have the MUA Heaven and Earth Eyeshadow palette, this comes with 12 neutral eyeshadows which are all perfect for everyday use, they are pigmented and it only costs £4! You can purchase it here http://www.superdrug.com/mua-professional/make-up-academy-professional-eye-palette-heaven+earth/invt/267771
My next items from the collection are the lipsticks, I have two of these but I want to eventually get a few more, at the moment I have 'Bare' and Shade 13 which doesn't seem to have a name. I swatched them both and as you can see Shade 13 is a bright red and goes on really bright and 'Bare' is a really pretty nude which is perfect for a natural look, the only downside to these is that you have to keep re applying as they fade a bit throughout the day but for only £1 you can't complain!
My next products are my mosaic bronzer and blush, the bronzer first of all is my favorite! It is perfect for my skin and is so easy to apply, it also has a few golden tones in it which I think look amazing! Mine is in the shade 'Natural Glow' The blush is a really pretty light pink colour, it is perfect for summer time and goes really well with the bronzer, the colour I have is 'English Rose'
Both of these products are only £2.50 and are good quality!
Another MUA product I have is the Intense Colour Eyeliner. I have this in the shade 'Rich Brown' and I adore it! It looks so natural on and I prefer this for everyday looks rather than wearing a black which I think sometimes looks a bit too harsh on me, at only £1 it definitely should be in everyones makeup bag! Also it comes with a handy sharpener on the lid which is a life saver!
And lastly I have the Pro Base fixing mist, this was the most recent MUA product I have purchased and with how much I have loved all of my other ones I was expecting amazing things and I was a little let down, It doesn't really seem to do an amazing job on my face makeup but it is still good for eye makeup I find, other people have said that they love it so it could just depends on your skin. It was £5 but I probably won't be buying it again.
Thankyou for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Cusworth Hall Visit
Hello, so today I'm going to do more of a lifestyle post, earlier today I went to Cusworth Hall with my friend Lois! We spent a few hours there despite not realising the actual hall part doesn't open on Fridays, I took some photos and here they are!
This is the front of the building
A little bridge and the pond
Lilypads that I thought looked super cute!
Just some random plants!
I loved the colour of these! I had to take a photo!
And me and Lois pulling very attractive faces haha!
It was a really nice day out, I think that if you have the chance and you live close you should definitely go but make sure you go on any day but a Friday!
Here's Lois' blog: http://loisloves11.blogspot.co.uk/

My Summer Essentials
Today I'm going to show you a few of my summer essentials, I have recently been loving all of these products and they are all affordable and really good!
First of all I have my Schwarzkopf Salt Spray, this adds a lot of texture to my hair and I think stays all day, you only need a few sprays to get a nice effect. I also use this on my hair when I have curled it, along with my normal hairspray as I find that it helps it stay put for longer. You can buy this product from Superdrug for £4.05 http://www.superdrug.com/got2b/beach-matt-texturizing-salt-spray/invt/619363 but if you have a Savers store near you, you can purchase it there for around £2.50 which is where I got mine from but I have only ever seen one Savers store.
My next summer essential is my Palmers Gradual Tan, I hardly ever tan naturally and when I do you can't really notice much of a difference but I find that when I use normal tans I go really orange or patchy. I have been looking to get a gradual tan for a while and then I found this, it looks exactly like a moisturizer and so you can kind of tell where you have put it on, once I had woke up from putting it on the night before you can tell there was a difference but it wasn't too dark, I had no patches and no streaks, after keeping this up for a few days I got a really nice natural looking tan. I highly recommend this product as you can definitely chose whether you want to have a subtle or a noticeable tan, you can buy it from Superdrug here for £3.56 http://www.superdrug.com/gradual-tan/palmers-cocoa-butter-natural-bronze-tan-lotion-250ml/invt/355798 but it is sometimes on offer in Boots.
Next is my Nivea Moisturizer, this is such an amazing moisturizer, it doesn't dry the quickest but it does a really good job, mine has not even got halfway and I have had it since Christmas so it is well worth buying, you can buy it here from Boots for only £4.28 http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&catalogId=11051&productId=11521&langId=-1&callingViewName&cm_mmc=Paid%20Search-_-Plusbox-_-Link-_-NIVEASoftRefreshinglySoftMoisturisingCream200ml&cm_mmc=bmm-_-google-_-Boots+Beauty-_-Beauty+-+PLAs
Next I have three lip products which I am just going to talk about all together, first is my Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter, I have this in the shade 080 Strawberry Shortcake, this is such a beautiful baby pink colour, it is quite sheer but it looks really pretty on and moisturizer my lips well, I am definitely going to be buying some more shades soon, you can purchase that here for £7.99 http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-ColorBurst-8482-Lip-Butter_1252852/. Next is my MUA Lipstick, these lipsticks are absolutely amazing and overall the MUA brand is! The shade I am wearing the most at the moment is Shade 14, bare. It is really nice and pigmented, in my opinion it is just as good or even better than some other drugstore lipsticks which charge more, you can buy this at superdrug for an amazing price of £1 http://www.superdrug.com/events-2011/mua-makeup-academy-introducing-our-new-ps1-make-up-range-exclusive/page/muamakeupacademy#lips My final lip product is my Carmex Lip Balm, there isn't really much to say about this except for it's absolutely amazing, it is the best Lip Balm I've tried as I can instantly feel a difference after I've put it on! It isn't expensive either which makes it all the better, you can buy it here for £2.69 http://www.superdrug.com/carmex/carmex-classic-moisturising-lip-balm-10g/invt/725507
Next I have my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which I know a lot of people talk about so I won't say too much, it is really good at covering any blemishes or imperfections, it's really cheap and I think worth every penny! I have Shade 1 which is Fair and I love it, you can buy it here for £4.19 http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_984434/
Last of all is my Aussie Leave In Cream, since its summer and my hair has to deal with a lot of heat this has really helped my hair and made it not completely die! I just apply it to the ends of my hair and I feel as thought it really does help, as well as fixing your hair from heat damage it also is a heat defense. This is definitely something I would recommend to anyone who has damaged hair from heat, I couldn't find the link for this but I know you can buy it from Boots and Superdrug.
I hope I haven't bored you, thankyou for reading!!:-)

Topshop Cream Blush in 'Prime Time'
Today I'm going to review the Topshop cream blush, I have the shade 'Prime Time' and I use it quite a lot!
This at the moment is my go to blush, its really simple to apply and comes out a lovely colour.
'Prime Time' is a bright pink but does not at all come out as bright as it looks! At first I was a bit scared to use it but then realised it's nothing to be scared of using.
A little bit does really go a long way so after using this nearly every time I have put my makeup on for the last few months hardly any has been used!
The packaging is really cute and instantly drew me in.
Another thing I especially love about this product is that you can make it as bright or a subtle as you want, I usually rub it in quite a lot to give just a nice touch to my face but as you can see down below it is really buildable and can become a bright pink like the product looks.
Unfortunately I couldn't find this product online but you should be able to buy it in most Topshop stores but the shade 'Afternoon Tea' is very similar and can be bought here for £6 http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=blush&storeId=12556&productId=10108640&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057
Thankyou for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Real Techniques Brushes Review
So today I'm going to do my first ever review! I'm a little nervous about it but oh well, it's going to be of the real techniques brushes in the core set. They are £21.99 and in my opinion definitely worth it!
I mainly use the buffing and the contouring brush and the contouring brush and I haven't yet found a permanent use for the other two (by the way in the set there is also a small detailer brush but mine is broke so I'll insert a different photo of that sorry!)
The buffing brush is really good for applying foundation, I find it gives a better finish and blends it a lot better! If I'm wanting a fuller coverage then I will dab my foundation on with it but if I'm not too fussed then I will brush it all over if that even makes sense!
I use the contouring brush for my creme blush as I find this is the best way to apply it as it doesn't get everywhere like everything else I have tried! I've also used this brush for applying concealer and it's give it a great finish and blends it well!
As for the detailer and the pointed foundation brush I haven't decided what I ultimately want to use these for but at the moment I am using the pointed foundation brush for highlighter and it's doing a good job and so I might keep this up but I don't have a use for the detailer brush.
I highly recommend these brushes they are amazing quality and do the job well!
You can buy them from boots here http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Core-Collection-1403_1252038/
Thankyou for reading, I hope I didn't bore you, bye!

Getting to know me tag
Hello, welcome to my blog everyone!:)
I've been wanting to start a blog for a while and now I've decided I'm going to finally do it!
To start off I'm going to do a 'Getting to know me tag' with some I've found.
1. Date of Birth
09.07.1998, which makes me 15
2. Were you named after anyone?
My mum always liked the name Rebecca but wanted it to be a little different and her favourite TV show had a character called Rebekah in and so that's where my name came from!
3. Do you do your face or eyes first?
I want to get out of the habit but I do my face first.
4. Do you buy makeup when you need them or do you collect?
It depends, with foundations, powders and bronzers I buy them when I need them but with lipsticks, eyeshadows, mascaras and blush I collect them.
5. Would you leave the house without makeup?
Yeah! I like to go natural quite a lot actually when I'm not doing anything too fancy
6. What is your hair colour?
I currently have brown hair, which I'm a bit bored of now and so I'm thinking of dying it red!
7. Do you plan your outfits the night before or decide when getting ready?
Unless I'm going somewhere fancy I decide when getting ready.
8. Do you prefer bold eyes or bold lips?
Lips, I find that I'm more comfortable with bold lips but I want to start going bold with my eyes.
9. Describe yourself in 3 words
Bubbly, loving and girly
10. What are you listening to right now?
One Direction - One Thing
I hope you found this at least slightly interesting, thankyou for reading!
