Christmas Instax film review

As promised, my Christmas film!
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas! I thought I would be up to date for once and post the day I finished the film. Most of these photos are of family friends back from Dubai for the holidays, they are basically my family and I am so glad to have them here! The 10 year old girl is obviously the owner of the rainbow loom in the 2nd last photo, not me, the 17 year old! but that doesn't mean I haven't tried it out myself! I'm actually quite happy with how these photos turned out, in general they are not so bad (a little out of focus, blinking, too much white etc.). Also, just look at how adorable my dog is with all the teddy bears in photo number 6! <3
As for the film itself, I'm not so sure. Although it is festive, its nothing special. I didn't like how a lot of the top images were cut in half just because it looks like its faulty even though thats exactly how it's supposed to be. Because of this I'm not sure if I would purchase it again. Even though it is nice and festive I'm not sure if its worth it.
Well, I have already decided that my next film will be the Stained Glass film, which I think I will be starting tomorrow!

Cath Kidson Instax Mini film

I have another film to share with you! :D 
This is another one of the films I received for my birthday this year. It's the Cath Kidson Mint Instax Mini Film, and I love it! As you can see from the picture the colours are super vibrant. I didn't think I would like the ribbon effect on the top (cut off on the first row of scanned images) but it is much nicer than I had expected. I think I would also like to try this film in the yellow version, just because the colours are so much more vibrant than I had expected.

Although these look like a bunch of random photos they actually do have some order and were actually taken in the space of a weekend! The first four are from the craft fair I was selling at (I'll have a post about that in the near future). The next one was from our schools production of "Cats"(I'm in orange and red). And the last five are from a sleepover and dinner we had as a celebration after our last performance.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I will have one on the Instax Mini Christmas film just after Christmas!

Rilakkuma meets Honey Instax Mini film

So this post is wayyy.. overdue. Most of these photos were taken around my birthday weekend, and if you have seen my previous post was around the 3rd of October…and now it's December.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this film, it was my first "fun" or not-plain film. When I took my first photo I was pleasantly surprised to see that parts of it were metallic! Most of the hearts, dots, stripes and honeycomb patterns are a shiny gold, which I love! I would love to try Rilakkuma print film again just for the pure cuteness of it!
The only sad thing is that they some of them didn't turn out very well and again, I had trouble scanning them in (the top cut off and a faint white line running through). Also the gold didn't show up very well but, I think you get the idea.

I have some more "fun" film reviews on the way so make sure to check back soon!

Little Twin Stars Instax Mini film

I thought I would share some of my more recent Instax photos with you! 
This year for my birthday I received about 8 packs of fun instax film, two of which were "Little Twin Stars". I decided to use both packs of this film of my day out in Dublin with two of my best friends, Sarah and Elizabeth, and we all had so much fun!
I ended up having 3 shots left which I used at the dress rehearsal for my schools production of "Cats" which is a bit of a contrast to the film but I still think turned out pretty well.
Quite a few of the Dublin photos turned out a little dark but thats just because it was a very dull, cold day and we were also there in the very early morning (2nd photo), until the evening(8th photo).

The film itself was just as I expected, adorable cartoons in pastel colours. I'm not sure if I would purchase "little twin stars" film again just because I already have had two and it doesn't stand out as a favourite. If you are thinking about purchasing some, go for it! Although its not my favourite it's still a super cute film. 
I will probably have some more "fun" instax film photos in the next few weeks so make sure to check back, or follow me on Bloglovin using the button in the sidebar!
Enjoy! X

* In the 3rd row of photos there is a faint line through the centre, this is nothing to do with the film I just had some issues when scanning them in. Also the top of the 3rd row is cut off again, scanning issues.
