Beauty & The Books

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs Genre: YA/Fantasy Pages: 352 Rating: 4/5 Format: Novel including vernacular photography/letters (originally a picture book) _________________________________________________________________________________ First of all I got this book for an amazing £2.49!!!

You may be questioning why you would want to follow makeup tips from a nobody or receive book recommendations from someone who might seem like they know nothing. BUT this is where I tell you that I am currently studying English at degree level, have a part time job as a makeup artist as well as at a top high street store. So I could be interesting (I am) and you'll only ever know if you keep reading. P xoxo
