What? A book review? - The fault in our stars

Hello PPB's
I hope you're all doing well :)

Now it takes a lot for me to actually read a whole book, I have to be addicted by the first chapter otherwise I just get bored and can't be bothered to read anymore. I am certain you have all heard of this book by now but I just wanted to share with you how much I loved it! 
To be honest I only brought the book a)because it was of offer and b) because everyone and I mean everyone had given it a good review, I normally don't like to jump on book hypes because like I said it takes a really good book for me to read it front to back. This book also isn't really the sort of story I go for, I am very much a murder mystery kind of girl I love a good investigation, this is the first 'love story' I have read and truly enjoyed.

I can truly say this book did not disappoint me at all, I have spend many evenings sat in a hot bubble bath hooked not wanting to put it down, wrinkly fingers galore!

I don't want to ruin any of the story for you if you haven't read it and want to, but to summaries, its a about a young girl called Hazel Grace who is suffering from lung cancer and it follows her love story with the amazing Augustus Waters who she meets at a theory group for young Cancer sufferers.
I really do believe that if I can sit a read a book all the way through then everyone would love it. I read very little maybe 1 book a year if I find one I enjoy.

You probably already know this book is about to come out in a film and I am so excited to watch it and see the characters come to life. To see if they look and act how I have imagined them to.

Have you read it, what did you think?

No7 Hot cloth cleanser

I am sure you have all heard of the Liz Earle Hot cloth cleanser yes? Well I sadly cant afford that :( but I have always loved the idea of a hot cloth cleanser so a few months ago I started looking for an alternative. 
Now you all know how much I love No7 and when I saw that they had a Hot Cloth cleanser I had to try it.
 Price
Liz Earle - for 200ml starter pack is £26.25
No7 - for 200ml is £9.95 and if purchased from boots is normally on a 2 for 3 offer!!
So its over Half the price! 
They do both come with the muslin cloth

Packaging
I really like the packaging, its simple and I think it looks really professional and looks really nice sitting in your bathroom. Its got a pump dispenser keeping it clean to use as well.

Product
Okay on to the important bit! :) Its so easy to use! (get ready for some very unattractive pictures)
To use just pump some of the cream into dry hands, I use 2 pumps and massage over a dry face, then I use cotton pads and whats left of my hands put on them and gently wipe my eyes with them, then just soak the muslin in hot water and using circling motions massage around your face, this removes your make up and your skin is left feeling so soft and clean!! I find it doesn't remove waterproof mascara as well, but it does get a majority of it off. I pat my face with a towel after just to remove most of the water but leave it to completely dry naturally, keeping some moisture in the skin.
I use it every night and then use a moisturiser after my face is completely dry.

Its so quick and easy to use, only taking me about 10 mins every night and so worth it.

I would still love to try out Liz Earle Cleanse and polish but for now I am very happy using this wonderful product!

Lots of Love

Sister- Rosamund Lupton

You're missing. I'm coming to find you......

I am currently reading this magical book, I'm not going to lie to start with I wasn't sure if i was going to enjoy reading it, but I was so wrong!!
This is the  best book I have ever read!
(apart from Harry Potter)

'written with the power and panache of a young Daphne du M aurier, it's devastatingly good, and announces the arrival of a truly original talent'
Daily Mail

From starting to read this book I haven't been able to put it down, wanting to know what's going to happen next. The story shows what true sisterhood is and how strong a sisters relationship can be, however that it doesn't matter how close you are to a person, there are always things that you don't know about them, there is always something more to learn about a person.

'Truly marvellous! As compelling as it is stylish, sister exists in that rare place where crime fiction and literature coincide'
Jeffery Deaver


Blurb

When Beatrice gets a frantic call in the 
middle of Sunday lunch to say that her 
younger sister Tess is missing, she boards 
the first flight to London. But as she
 learns about the circumstances surrounding
 Tess's disappearance, she is stunned
 to discover how little she actually knows of her
 sister's life -  and unprepared for the terrifying
 truths she must now face.

The police, Beatrice's fiancĂ© and even their mother 
accept they have lost Tess, but Beatrice refuces to
 give up on her. so she embarks on a dangerous
 journey to discover the truth, no matter the cost.




The book that follows this beautiful book is called 'afterwards' and I will definitely be reading that and then looking for more by this talented author.


'Nothing can break the bond between sisters....'

Keep Reading =D
