May Favourites

1. Real Techniques - Bold Metalics - #103 : This is the softest brush I have ever owned. It is an amazing brush, I use it to set my make-up, with my powder.  and give myself a last is every blended ok.

2. Real Techniques - Beauty Blender : Late to the party, but better late than never,  I suggest if your later to the party than me that you add this to your collection, great for making sure my foundation is looking a-ok.

3. Benefit - Gimme Brow : I didn't like this the first time I tried it, didn't really get it, but its quick and has great staying power. If I'm in a rush or just want to make my brows last and look better on this goes.

4. Benefit - They're Real Primer : Who knew your eyelashes needed prime.  (Raises Hand) I got complimented a lot about my lashes first time I wore this, hadn't changed my mascara, proof that it works and really helps with length and volume.

5. Kikki.K - 365 Journal : This gorgeous journal is easy to capsulate your day in.

March Favourites

Walking Boots : Honestly didn't know the value of a good pair of walking boots before these beauties, they are so comfy, waterproof, and my feet easily blister these didn't give me a single one after 11 and a half miles walk. I feel like I could go conquer the Pacific Crest Trail, Cheryl Strayed style in these babies. They only cost about £35 as well so cheaper than most shoes I own and of such better quality.

Batiste : Where would a girl be without her trusty dry shampoo, well a lot more bad hair days what happen. I always reach for batiste its my go to.

Zoella, Let's Spritz : I was a honest to go skeptic about Zoella beauty when I first tried it out last year and though some products I find to be pointless (bath fizz) this is amazing over christmas it was down to just over £3 on feel unique and the most I've seen it at is £8 such a good price for something that will last you a while and you can keep your good perfume nice.

Naked 2 - Urban Decay : Naked 3 is my go to palette, I know how I'm doing my make-up with it, so its easy to use it day in and out. I've been trying to push myself into using my other palettes and working out how they work and what goes with what. I'm really loving the Naked 2 Palette, the whole Naked collection is really a fail safe.

Brow Zings - Benefit : Brows are such a staple in my make-up routine and this trusty little kit has been my go to for the past 2/3 years I love it, I've tried others but always go back to this, I also go to the benefit brow bar to get them brows shaped, so I really trust there products.

March Favourites

Time for March favourites. It's been so hard to find the time to pull this together so I  had to do it quite quickly around 3am. 

Elsa T-shirt - I went to the cinema with one of my friends and we always pop into Asda to get our munchies before hand and when I saw this t-shirt I knew I had to have it. It was only like £7 and I'm just using it for around the house but I absolutely adore it, they also had a cinderella one which I might need to go back and buy. 

Dare to dream post card - I went to Paperchase and I bought a few little postcards with these kind of motivational sayings. I love them and they will be displayed in my room once I have it redecorated. 

Rimmel Rita Ora Nail Varnish - In the colours Roll In the Grass and Rain Rain Go Away. I have been using Rain Rain Go Away on my fingernails as I have to keep colours neutral for my work and this means I can keep the colour on and am not rushing to take it off before a shift. And then Roll in the Grass is my little pop of colour on my toenails. 

Rimmel Stay Matte (Long Lasting Pressed Powder) - This was the first powder I ever used when I started wearing make-up and I used it for years on top of my foundation, I went through  a while where I didn't wear powder and when I started putting powder on again because I like the finish better I began using benefits stay flawless as I use there foundation. But this is a fraction of the price and gives the same amount of coverage so I have went back to using it. 

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - I have been using this for maybe half a year now and this is by far my favourite concealer ever. I finished my last little pot and went through maybe a time gap of a week before I had the chance to repurchase and I realised just how much I rely on this in my make-up routine. 

Bobbi Brown Corrector - This is a new purchase that I love, its not as high strength as my boiling Concealer and is a great little basic for fixing the dark circles around my eyes. It works well on its own, but you can use a Concealer over it.  

Smashbox Full Exposure Palette - I am in love with this palette its such great quality and is just beautiful on. 

Chip Cup - I went to disney on Ice as March drew to a close and treated myself and little cousin to a snow cone, I got her a bigger one that came in a Olaf Cup and I got myself this cute little Chip one.

 There we go thats March's goodies!

January Favourites

January is by far my least favourite month of the year. Why? well, your hitting the post christmas blues, everyone is skint... and feeling it, all the lights have been taken down,so the world feels a little less magical than it did in December but even more cold. Plus January takes a whole 31 days to get through.

But never the less here are the few goodies that made my month all that more bare able.

1)  Salvation - Wakey Wakey, I have already talked about this album when it first came out, but this month the vinyl finally arrived. It has barely been out of my record player, there is something genuinely lovely about listening to music on vinyl. Its more of an experience.

2) Love Tanya - Tanya Burr, this book is absolutely gorgeous, Tanya Burr is a beauty and fashion blogger/vlogger  as well as inspiration to many teens/young adults. Love Tanya, is full of hints and tips from beauty to life this a lovely read.

3) Indian Summer - Tyler Hilton, I don't think I have talked about this album yet but it was made downloadable a few months back, but the CD has just arrived. I blogged back in 2012 about seeing Tyler live, and have now seen him live three times, he has such a raw, authentic voice. Mixed with guitar and you can't go wrong. The hard copy recently arrived and I love owning physical copies of music. Digital is all well and good but I do like being able to hold something.

4) Natural Glow Shadow and Primer Palette 2 - Barry M - I have a little obsession with darker eye shadows, and own quite a collection. But I never had any nude for some reason, this brilliant little palette is easy to apply and looks wonderful on. Brilliant if your breaking into new territory.

5) Scandaleyes Eye Liner - Maybeline, My thing with eyeliner is that I can never find an easy to apply one, nearly every eyeliner I have bought in the past takes a little bit more time and if your in a rush like I nearly always am, then I often have to go without. The felt pen type style of Scandaleyes is beyond easy to apply, it makes my days a lot simpler and can through it on in the morning with not much worry about smudging or fading as its quite long wearing.

6) Roller Lash - Benefit, I like a lot of others dashed out to get the new issue of Elle so that I could try the new mascara, They're Real has been my best friend and saviour for years now and I daren't use anything else as it gives my lashes the best look i feel. I have on odd occasion dabbled in bad gal' benefit are my number one eye lash (and brow) go-to-brand. The last few days Roller Lash and I have been getting on like a house on fire, though I think I am not fully swayed from my bestie They're real, but I shall defiantly be investing in a full sized tube of this little darling.
