MY REVIEW
If you love wearing makeup and love watching vlogger Zoella Sugg makeup videos then you will love reading all about Tulip Taylor.
Fifteen year old Tulip Taylor is the queen of the make-up vlogger. Tulip finds Isabella hiding in the girls toilets, she has huge red spots, the school had been spreading rumours that Isabella has a contagious disease. With Tulip Taylor’s cosmetics, she works her magic to make Isabella’s spots disappear. Tulip’s mother has an idea to make them money, by filming their lives twenty four hours a day. This means Tulip will vlog about make-up and have to edit daily highlights of their lives. With laugh out loud moments this story makes an enjoyable read.
Tulip Taylor a heroine with a good heart, this story will have you rooting for her from page one. This story will bring to light the pressures on teenagers living our digital world.
A FEW LINES FROM TULIP TAYLOR
I’m sitting at my desk, staring into the webcam with my heart racing. So there you go. As you can see, it takes a bit of time and effort, and a helping hand here I nod to Anjali who waves manically for the camera but I hope you think the end look is worth it. Bye guys, and see you soon for some more amazing looks. I lean forward and stop recording.
