October favourites

Hello Everyone!
October has come to an end. October went very well and i didn't buy much makeup! I still managed to spend all my pocket money though :/ Anyway, November is extremely soon so i can buy more aha I know, i have a problem. Lets get on with the favourites.



My first favourite for october is a hand and nail cream from The body shop. I got this is July for my birthday and have loved it ever since. The hand cream is Almond Scented and i am not a fan of almonds at all but this smells sooo good! It is very moisturizing and makes my hands super soft. It sinks in quickly and does not leave your hands sticky.

My next favourite is The Maybelline Baby lips in "Cherry me" If you have a babylips or any lip balm really you can probably tell how much of this i have used in the three months i've had it. This goes to show my love for it. It is very pigmented for a lip balm and smells amazing. It is so moisturising and leaves your lips smooth for hours. I have a post on baby lips on my blog so feel free to find that and have a read.

My next favourite is the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation in "Shell Coquillage" (Sorry the photos Sideways!) I love this foundation because it is really light but buildable coverage and looks extremely natural. I don't really have many blemishes that i need to cover up so obviously i don't need something with a high coverage. This foundation corrects discolouration and is just beautiful.The only thing i would say is that it does not have a pump and you have to pour it out so if you were very clumsy i don't recommend it.

The next favourite is the Natural Collection blusher in "Peach Melba" I love this because it is not a girly pink but still gives the naturally blushed look i go for.

My next favourite is the lush "Mint Julips" Lip scrub. I love this because it smells (and tastes) amazing! The idea is you rub it on your lips to scrub off any dry parts and then lick it off and apply your lip balm of choice. It makes a perfect base for lipstick and is perfect for the autumn/winter months.

My last favourite for october is actually three things. They are brushes from elf, i ordered these not too long ago online and i love each of them. From left to right I have the Stipple brush, professional bronzing brush and the complexion brush. They each do their job extremely well and i use them everyday more or less.

September Favourites!

Hey Guys!
Sorry I haven't spoken to you in a while, I guess you could say I had writers block. But I'm back for another (slightly late) monthly favourites post. (Warning major cliche!) September flew by and i'm back in the swing of school now, I am doing my GCSE's now and not enjoying it but i wont go into that!

Here are my monthly favourites:
Its sideways! *facepalm* Anyway we have: Natural collection blushed cheeks in peach melba,
Revlon colourburst lip butter in sorbet, Maybelline 24hr colour tattoo in pink gold, Next's just pink
perfume, Taylor swift wonderstruck perfume, The body shops pink grapefruit body mist,
Mua's eyeshadow palette in undressed and finally maybelline's babylips in cherry me.




Natural collection blusher in Peach melba This costs £1.99 from boots. It is an absolute bargain and looks beautiful on the cheeks. It is a gorgeous peach colour (duh) and i like to apply it just above bronzer for a slightly fiercer look. It is a really nice change from pastel pinks and is a lovely product in general.


The Revlon colourburst lip butter in 'Sorbet' It is a beautiful bright pink colour. It is sooooo amazing! Its moisturizing and has a beautiful long lasting colour, I have dry lips in autumn/ winter so this is perfect for me and i would definitely consider getting another one. Its cost £7.99 from boots.

The Maybelline 24hr colour tattoo in 'Pink gold' This is just perfect. It stays exactly where you put it and is just a beautiful colour. I get compliments when i wear it. I love cream eye shadows and these are definitely the best i have tried. You can these for £4.99 at boots.

The Maybelline babylips in 'Cherry me' Yet another perfect product from maybelline! So moisturizing and looks amazing on, smells amazing and tastes good (#noh8) I have also tried 'pink punch' from this line but i just did not like it as much the formula is probably exactly the same but cherry me is better k. (£2.99??)

The MUA palette in 'Undressed' This palette has a big place in my heart (loser) It is absolutely amazing! The stay power is brilliant and the pigmentation is awesome! It is a dupe for Urban decay's 'Naked' Palette and from what i can tell the colours are very similar! It has mattes and shimmers and a good mix of light and dark colours. It is £4 from superdrug and completely and utterly worth it!

As you can see i have some perfume favourites but i am (maybe) doing a separate perfume post so stay tuned!

Thank you so much for reading!

August Favourites

Hi Guys!

So this month I have been loving some things and I thought I would share them. So without further ado, here are my August favourites!

My first favourite is the Revlon ColourBurst lip butter in the shade sorbet. It is such a gorgeous colour and applies very smoothly and easily. It is very moisturising and the colour pay-off is surprisingly good! The stay power is OK. I love this product but i feel like the price is quite high for what it is (£7.99) this may just be because I am young and money is rare and precious! Revlon currently has a 2 for £10 on a lot of their make up including a good mascara which is £9.99 so that is a pretty good deal if you ask me.

My next favourite is Maybelline's Baby lips in the shade "Cherry me". If you saw my last post then you would know that I am in love with this product! It is So moisturising and looks lovely on the lips. It gives a very sheer red tint but what else do you expect for a lip balm? It is very affordable at £2.99 and I am just in love deal with it OK.

My last favourite for august is The "Just pink" Perfume by next. Next does really lovely perfumes for very cheap. This one was £7.50. This perfume smells very floral-y and citrus-y and is a really gorgeous fresh scent. It is sophisticated without looking like you stole your mum's perfume!

Thank you so much for reading!

Baby lips!

Maybelline's 'Baby lips' have just come out in the UK. Naturally I went a bought one being the hopeless  trend follower that I am. I bought the shade 'Cherry me' and it is very sheer but still adds colour to my lips which i love. Surprisingly it is the best lip balm i own now. I get quite dry lips and my lips have been so soft for the past 2 days and if i put it on at night time when i wake up in the morning my lips are still really smooth which is awesome! I thoroughly recommend Baby lips to everyone,I bought mine for £2.99 in boots and i will definitely be going back to buy more.

Thanks so much for reading!
