Hey Guys,
I have just finished reading 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green it only took me a day and a half to read! '
The Fault in our Stars' was absolutely brilliant so I had such high expectations for this book and I wasn't disappointed. This is one of those book that you really want to become a film and although I've not heard/seen anything about a film being made, 'The Fault in our Stars' should be becoming a film and they start shooting for it this August, I'm not sure how true this is so have a look for yourself
here.
"Alaska Young. Gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, screwed up - and utterly fascinating. Miles Halter could not be more in love with her. But when tragedy strikes, Miles discovers the value and the pain of living and loving unconditionally."
The book is about Miles Halter, his friend Chip and Alaska Young; I'm going to reveal everything that happens so if you don't want to know stop reading.
The first part of the book talks the 136 days Before it and the second part is about the 136 days After it ; Miles, nickname Pudge, goes to a new school where we learn that he loves 'last words', he reads loads of biography's of writers or historical figures to learn their last words.
Miles becomes friends with his roommate called Chip, nickname Colonel, who introduces him to his friend Alaska, instantly Miles falls in love with Alaska who unfortunately has a boyfriend called Jake. The 136 days Before it describes what they did at school which was mainly pranking the Weekday Warriors (people who only board for the weekdays and go home at the weekend), drinking and smoking. Miles continues to fall for Alaska no matter how horrible and moody she can be at times. The night Before it Alaska freaks out saying she has to leave and even though she's drunk and in not fit state to drive Miles and Chip still let her go.
The day After it Miles and Chip attend an assemble where their headmaster delivers terrible news (the it), Alaska had been in a terrible car crash and has died. Miles dwells on the fact he didn't know Alaska's last words and was unsure on how or why she died; Miles and Chip discover Alaska drove into a police car and the After section of the book is about them trying to figure out why Alaska drove into that car, whether it was meant to be suicide or an accident and why she was so worked up on the night. There are many conclusions on what Alaska did and how Miles and Chip dealt with their loss, all I'll say about the ending without giving anything away is that you'll be satisfied with the answer and you won't be stuck wondering what could have happened.
It is a sad story and I'm embarrassed to admit that I did cry a lot but it is very well written and I'm going to buy Green's other books. I really hope this has intrigued you to buy 'Looking for Alaska' which can be found on
Amazon or in
Waterstones.

The only thing i've been impressed with is the Rimmel 'Scandaleyes Lycra Flex mascara'. I only bought this because the advert really impressed me, the Rimmel adverts are really annoying because they're constantly on before my favorite programs and Rimmel have 5 new products all out at the same time, anyway the narrator said that "you can layer it up and has no clumps", this is a lot like any other mascara but for some reason this really impressed me and although I haven't worn this very much I can't fault it at all.
The other products I bought were: Rimmel Match Perfection Powder which I bought in transparent (the lightest colour) because I love being so pale even though I have actually tanned, it took me at least an hour to realise how to open it and I haven't used it much but so far so good; Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer again I bough the lightest colour but that was mainly because I have really dark circles underneath my eyes so naturally I thought the lightest colour would cover them up better but unfortunately it didn't work, however if I bought the right colour for me I'm sure it would have worked fine as I've heard wonderful review about the Wake Me Up foundation. 
I next bought 2 Rimmel Soft Kajal eyeliners (in brown and black) for my waterline because i'm rubbish at applying it to my lids, but because I bought the soft ones and not the waterproof they won't take to my waterline and I'm struggling using them, next time I would consider buying the waterproof version; finally make-up wise I bought 2 Natural Collection lipsticks but unfortunately I can't find on the boots website, I would really like some coral lipsticks but I wasn't willing to pay £5.00 for a lipstick at Maybelline or Rimmel so I wondered on over to the Natural Collection stand to look at their cheap lipsticks, I found the closest coral colour I could find which was 'Sorbet' and a dark nude colour in 'Apple Blossom' for £1.99, I would not recommend these lipsticks because they don't apply creamy or smoothly onto the lip at all, you can see the lipstick marks across your lips and
