Mac Haul

Hey Lovelies so I recently placed a mac order and when I came home it was sitting at the front door so without saying too much lets get started

So as I said when I got home I was met by this box now I'm not going to lie but I hate this box I miss the black box that MAC use to ship there stuff in but it might be because I bought something that was pretty big, but you guys will see that soon so lets take a peak inside the box to see what I got.

 

You are probably thinking that's a pretty big box for just a few items but when I looked underneath I realised what else I had bought...so as you can see I picked up a new foundation and if you guys have been reading my blog for a while you will know that the MAC foundations are my favourite, I also picked up a pump and a new lipstick ( like I needed a new one...I have too many lipsticks...actually can you ever have too many?). With MAC if you make a purchase online you get a sample size of their zoom lash and I am in love with it so I will definitely be picking up a full size one the next time I'm at MAC, and below is what was under the box...now lets properly jump into this Haul.

 

 

 

 

So here is a wee over view of everything out the box. Up first is my very pail looking foundation.

As you can see this is the foundation I picked up and it is in the shade NW10 and I think it is one of the lightest foundations MAC does this one and NC15 are the lightest...I had a sneaky wee look. You guys will be thinking em isn't this foundation too light for you? Nope its not at all I am naturally really pale and this one matches my skin perfectly. Its a medium to full coverage with a satin finish. It is also easily buildable if you do want a fuller coverage for when you go out or even if you're just going to work.

 

 

You guys know or some of you might not know but I love pink lipstick so picked up this gorgeous one in Pink Pearl Pop and this is a gorgeous Frosted Midtonal pink and I this this would look amazing over the top of Candy yum yum.

 

 

 

And last but not least is my make up wedges and these are perfect for applying your under eye concealer.

 

 

Here is a wee overview of everything I got if you guys have any questions on anything I bought please don't hesitate into leaving me it below in the comments.

 

So until next time Stay Beautiful

November favourites

Hey Lovelies so today Im going to be telling you the products I've been loving this month so with out rambling lets get started

Up until recently I have been using the apple iPhone4 on pay as you go and I decided that now would be a good time to as I say 'join the real world' so I decided that I would get the iphone 6, and I am in love. It did take a wee while to get use to as it is a lot bigger then the iphone 4 as you guys can see (insert pic) but I love it. the iphone I have is the silver 64gb phone so I don't think i'll have a problem with taking selfies. 

Next is an oldie but goodie and that is my St Moriz tan in medium. I like this one because it doesn't leave you skin with that green look like the dark one does, the only problem I have with the fake tan is that it does dry on your skin super super dark so I would recommend doing your tan at night.

Something to follow up my fake tan and keeping it lasting is a body butter and the two that I love are both by Soap and Glory and they are Sugar Crush and the Righteous butter the both smell amazing but the one I do seem to be grabbing more is the Sugar Crush one and this smells like limes and sugar.

Up next is random favourites and the first one is this candle in Mrs Clause Apple pie and I honestly love this I burn it when I go into my room and this just smells like Christmas and lastly is this body spray in Pure Seduction by Victoria secret and you can get this from semi Chem they are a wee bit expensive for a body spray ( I paid £9.99) but it does last most of the day and I will defenetly be using this all December too.

So that is everything for my November favourites so until next time stay beautiful

October favourites

So I seems to be pretty shit at doing blogs post and since I'm attached to my laptop why not do a quick October Favourites right?

So first up is my ipad i think I got this this month....but I cant remember. I have always wanted a ipad so when I was with my mum I decided that I would get on and pay her back every week...and since I get paid weekly it was easy for me to do it that way. I think I paid £259 pounds for it and for those of you asking its the Ipad mini 2 32GB...I hate to say this but my phone has a better memory or gb to it. With the ipad you can do everything that you could with a laptop. I like the fact its light and I can throw it in my handbag and im ready to go.

Now this one is a wee bit weird and some of you will be thinking em what but I have been loving Dove soap. While I was away with my Mum during the summer we were doing a detox and in one of the books we read it said that you liver has to break down everything you put in and on your body, so from then on I stopped using body wash and was using soap and I know that some of you will be saying that soap also has harsh chemicals but if you find one that is low in ph levels then Im sure youre fine. Another soap I have been loving the smell of is the Boots own Coconut and Cream and I think this one was about £1 for the two.

Perfume is something I am obsessed with and the one I seem to have been grabbing was my DKNY be delicious Red I just love the smell of this.

Candles are something I love to have burning in my room and the one that I seem to be burning are the Primark ones in the scent Vanilla and Coconut. I like just putting these into my pink tea light holders and it just makes my room smell so nice.

So again another short blog but I will try and get a few up over the weekend so you have something to read. Im not sure what my next post will be I might have two back to back favourites as I am so shit and keeping on  top of these *Covers eyes*

Until Next time stay beautiful

Boots and Semi Chem Haul

Hey lovelies so as I am off for a few days I thought it would be a good idea to get a few blogs up as I don't know how busy I'm going to be this month with work and other commitments. So with that being said lets get started...

If like me you get lazy with shaving your legs and cant be bothered with shaving gel I picked up the Gilette Venus and Olay razor and I am in love. It just smells so nice and leaves yours legs so soft this does have 4 blades which I prefer it was a wee bit expensive for a razor but I cant complain. I also bought 4 other heads for my razor so as soon as I'm finished I just change the blade and I'm good to go!

Up next is fake tan and I love fake tan so the fake tan that I picked up is the St Moriz in the shade medium but instead of the mousse I picked up the lotion and I love it I mean I don't mind the smell of biscuits but if you guys don't like it then I wouldn't pick this one up. 


 Im not sure if ive said this before but my hair can go greasy really quickly so I decided that I would pick up the Herbal Essenes in Rosehip and Jojoba Extract and I am honestly in love this makes my hair so soft and smells amazing.

I love body sprays so when I went into my local Semi Chem and saw that they were starting to bring out the Victoria Secret most popular scents I thought I would pick one up. So the one that I picked up is Pure Seduction and this just smells like heaven! its one of the best scents ever so if you guys have Victoria Secrets or a Semi Chem near you id definitely pick this one up.

And last is skin care I don't know how many times I've said this but I have dry skin so I just picked up another of the Boots exfoliator pads and a Boots face wash.

So that is everything from this blog sorry I don't have individual pictures I thought it would be easier to do a massive one at the end I hope you guys enjoyed reading this and until next time stay BEAUTIFUL

September Favourites

Hey Lovelies so as we are part of the way through October I thought now would be a good time to get my September favourites blog up for you.

Lets start with skin care, since coming back from Gran Canaria my skin has been not so great lately I've had break out after break out so I decided that I would give the simple skin care range a go and Ive fallen in love!!! I like to use the wipes and I know so many of you will be saying don't use the wipes their bad for your skin my skin has cleared up since using them! Secondly I like to use the Simple Kind to skin purifying cleansing lotion on a large cotton pad to remove any excess make up I might have left on my skin. So many people say that once you cleanse you need to tone so the toner I use is again by Simple and as you can see it is the Soothing Facial toner and I love the smell of this it just smells so clean and fresh and clean. Lastly on skin care this for me is an oldie but goodie and that is the Nivea face hands and body cream.

Make up has always been something that I love so you would think that this part of a blog would be easy well its not! Since I've been back I've had a small tan so the foundation that I've been using is the Rimmel London Match Perfection in 200 Soft Beige and I love this foundation is has a light to medium coverage and is easily buildable to a full coverage but with any foundation you have to remember and blend it into your neck. As ive lost weight in my face I now enjoy really enjoying contouring and highlighting my face ive been using my Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot this as you can see has the 5 popular blushes that they sell it has Dandelion, Coralista, Bella Bamba,Rockature and my favourite Sugar bomb.In September ive been wearing a lot of brown and red/purple lipsticks and the lipsticks I've been grabbing are Macs Velvet Teddy and Diva

 

Now for my random favourites while I was away my mum and I liked to watch the sex and the city movies so I decided that I would collect the Sex and the City series so far I have 3,4,5 and 6 so if you guys know where I can get one and two let me know in the comments below!

What were you guys reaching for in September I would love to know!

So until next time stay beautiful

I have been away to help me lose weight....sounds silly but its true! so this is just a quick update to tell you all that I will be back for the foreseeable future and on my days off I will be blogging to get you guys and myself up to speed with things.  Keep your eyes peeled for my next two blogs this week.

Until next time stay beautiful

Weight Watchers

Since this is my blog I've decide to come away from the make up and beauty side of a bit and talk about some of the things that I guess a lot of us go through on an every day basis... my first topic of conversation as you guys can tell from the title is Weight Watchers. I know some of you will be thinking I tried that and failed!, it only works for certain people! No it works for everyone.
I have heard people say 'Weight Watchers is a diet' No its a lifestyle you can still eat what you want and lose weight at the same time but you cant be silly about it and you cant cheat the only person your cheating is yourself. Here is a few reasons why I started

About two and a half months ago I split up from my boyfriend and because I still respect him I wont go into why we broke up as I don't feel like I need to air my dirty laundry in public so id like to keep that part of my life out of the blogging world, However not long after we broke up I decided that I would try and lose some of the weight I put on while we were together. I was watching a video on Youtube when a advert popped up about joining Weight Watchers for £10 your first month. I had joined weight watchers when I was about 16 and lost weight but at that time when I was eating wasn't staying in my stomach and I was bringing everything back up. But over the years I have always struggled with my weight I was never the slim girl at school but always the fat one...I mean I was never the fattest at school I must of been about a size 14 when I was at school but after leaving and getting into my first serious relationship I put on about 2 stone taking me up to about a size 18 and I was miserable, after that relationship I got my head down and started training harder then ever getting myself back down to a size 16.. but as ive said over the years my weight has been my biggest struggle, I would lose 10 pounds think it was good and then put it all back on when someone said how good do you look. This time my weight is coming off slowly and surely. I am so far away from my goal weight but I will never stop trying until I am at the weight I want to be. So far I have lost 18 pounds and it is all down to the help of the weight watchers app I mean yes some weeks ive stayed the same but I've still managed to lose weight the next.
I would recommend maybe planning your meals before hand so you can track just how may points you have a day, the one thing you can eat as much as you want of is fruit and vegetables. As I'm not very confident I have done a before picture of what my body was like but if some of you reading this know me you will know what it was like before and now.
I think that maybe once I've lost this next few pounds so that I have two stone off I will post a picture of what my body looks like so far. As far as weight is concerned I have been a massive difference in my hips, bust, stomach and back! My back fat has been on of the things that I have been trying so hard to lose that as I don't like people looking at my back when Im in the gym. Some of you are probably thinking why do you care what people in the gym think about you? in a way I don't but at the same time I don't want the big ' gorillas' as I like to call them looking at me thinking I don't know what I'm doing.. its okay chicken legs I know what I'm doing do you? if like me you don't really like doing the free weight when the big guys are in why don't you take your weight over to a mat or an area that they cant see and do I there? Weight lifting is also good for losing weight as you burn more calories...yes do cardio but focus on weight training, healthy eating and drinking loads of water.
I feel like this blog has been a wee bit of a ramble....in my next blog I will be talking about sex. Don't worry im not going to tell you who ive slept with and how many ive slept with but I will talk about what its like in the lead up to sex with your boyfriend and if some guys read this for your girlfriend so you know what their going through.

So until next time stay beautiful

May Favourites

As we are very close to the end of May I have decided to do my favourites, I seem to go through phases with this blog, one minute I want to tell you everything and the next I don't want to...maybe I need to get back into it! So what have I been doing for the past wee while I here some of you ask well...I have been here!! I have a few things id like to talk about on this blog but putting my personal life out there is like wearing your underwear out in public...but with that being said lets get started.

As some of you guys know I like to fake tan but I don't fake tan my face so the foundation that I use to match is the 25 hour one by rimmel it gives such an amazing coverage and hides every imperfection.

Recently I've not been sleeping properly so I have pretty bad bags under my eyes but what I like to do is hide the face im tired and to hide that I've been using the collection lasting concealer in the shade fair but I stupidly put it away after I did my make up this morning...

I have also been loving getting my nails done. As some of you know I use to be a nail biter and it is honestly the worst things anyone especially females as I feel woman should have female hands if that makes sense. I have been getting Shellac done and as I was away on holiday about a month ago I decided that I would treat myself and get them done. they are a wee bit pricey and cost £25 but last 2 weeks with no chipping and colour fading so if you're going away on holiday or just fancy getting your nails done to feel a wee bit more girly go for it!!!...this was the colour I got but I will let you this isn't what my nails look like now as because of my work they are all broken and short I could cry...

 

Im sorry this blog is so short but if you keep your eyes open I will have a new blog up hopefully within the next few days...so until next time stay beautiful

March Favourties

I know ive been away for a while but as I said in my last post I had a lot of personal things going on and im not going to go into them here because I feel like I don't need to so with that being said lets get started with the post...


Ive not been grabbing a lot this month but the one thing I have been loving has been my new unit.. your probably thinking what unit? and by that I mean a dressing table

I got this unit at beginning of the month and im 100% in love with it...as you can see I have a massive mirror which helps me see what I look like. Would you guys like to see what I store in the drawers?

Up next is a few lipsticks the first one is of course a MAC one and that is the Viva Glam Miley and the only was I can describe this shade is as a gorgeous hot pink shade and looks amazing on any skin tone. Next we have two Barry M shades the first is in Shade 100 and as you can see it is the perfect Barbie pink but I would say this shade is for more tanned girls so if youre like me and love to tan this is the perfect shade for you and last for lipstick is the shade 129 and again as you can see it is a gorgeous lilac shade but as some of you girls know purple lipsticks make your teeth look yellow so I would recommend wearing this with maybe a dark lipliner or a dark lipgloss over top.

I have never included a clothing favourite in my pervious blog but today I am. As I have big boobs and work out a lot I like to wear sports bras and my favourite ones are Primark ones they are so inexpensive and comfy! I sometimes even wear on to bed but the ones I love the most are the ones with the boldest colours

And lastly this month has been lemon water, you guys are probably like em what? and all im meaning is water with lemon I have been loving drinking this I wouldn't recommend leaving this over night as it tastes vial!!!!!

Im sorry this post isn't like my pervious ones but I've not really been loving a lot this month maybe April will be a better month.

So until next time my lovelies stay beautiful

Away again

Hey Guys I know I've not posted in a while but I've had a lot going on so if you all give me a few more days I will be up and running with three new blogs for you lovelies. I'm sorry I've done this to you all again but I will be back by Friday

stay beautiful x

February Favourites

That's it Februarys over so that means for you guys a new blog post, without me going on and on lets just jump right into it.

The first thing I'm going to talk about first is skincare. I've been wearing fake tan a lot so that means I've had to exfoliate my skin too so the one I've been using is the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush body exfoliator with smashed brown sugar, Sweet lime, Almond oil and Macadamia Grains and honestly this does smell like Lime its one of the best smelling things Soap and Glory have done. After using the scrub I like to use the Zoella beauty soak opera and im not just saying this because I like Zoella's videos but this smells soooo good it smells like vitamin E, Shea Butter and Aloe extracts but honestly I just think it smells like Shea Butter. As most of you know when you come out the bath/shower your skins a bit dry and my skin has been the driest its ever been :(. So after looking around in my body box ( I have a box full of body stuff) I pulled out two that I feel work really well for my skin and they are the Soap and Glory Smoothie Star with Almond, Cocoa , Yogurt, Oats and Honey and OH MY GOD if this was an actual smoothie I would 100% drink this...is that bad? and the Vaseline essential moisture pure oats extract this smell takes me back to when I was about 20/21 ish... I seem to like the smell of oats this month...

Next up is hair and honestly my hair has been shit and I mean shit. Its felt lifeless, dull, dry and greasy all at the same time. Can your hair even be all of those? But after using these products I have found that my hair feels a wee bit better but still not 100% yet but the products I've been using are the Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey treatment shampoo and conditioner, the Loreal Kids Pear Detangaler and the Primark hask Argan Oil from Morocco. You're probably wondering em why is she using something for kids and that is because my hair gets tangled really easily and I mean easily I tie it up take it out and oh look a big clump of hair at the back of my head.

Next  is teeth I have been trying for sooooo long to get my teeth looking a wee bit whiter so I have been using the Arm and Hammer baking soda minty toothpaste gel Brilliant Sparkle and I like to use this before I use my Macleans white and Shine and I know this sounds daft but I love the feeling this has on my teeth, and lastly is Aqua Fresh Extra care mint breeze alcohol free and I love this it does have a wee bit of a burn to it but it works well.

I had mentioned that my body has been feeling dry but my hands have been super dry. Every time I wash my hands they just feel so tight now just not healthy so I have been using the Soap and Glory Hand dream Number 1 formula super cream and this smells like grapeseed, macadamia and shea butter... I think there's a smell theme in this post. Up next is nails I know I said in my blog post last month that I was loving Essie Fiji and I again this month I am, it is just this beautiful off white pink colour that looks amazing on any skin tone. Along with Fiji I have been loving the Boots own Nails acetone free nail polish remover... I know how can I be loving a nail polish remover? well I hate the ones with acetone as I feel it ruins my nails.

This is annoying because the nail polish is coming off as this blue sort of colour.

 

 



Now my favourite part make up Ive not really been grabbing much this month but I have been grabbing the Match perfection foundation by Rimmel in the shade ivory this works for me when I'm on my third or fourth day of tanning and for when Im just going to the gym or a class ( and by class I mean Spin class, Metafit and Step tone). Another foundation is again another Rimmel foundation and that is the Lasting finish nude 25 hour... I don't actually know if this foundation last for 25 hours as I take my makeup off at night.

 

As usual here's an over view of all the products I have been using this month if you guys would like me to go into more detail of any of the products I have used this month just leave  a comment down below and I will get back to you.

 

 

 

 I will be posting two or three blogs this week, my boyfriend is coming down so we will try and get the boyfriend/girlfriend tag.

With that being said I hope you guys have had a fun weekend so until next time stay beautiful

My MAC Palette

In one of my post I mentioned that I have 21 MAC eye shadows...yes 21 why? you may ask well because I do...I love the colour pay off, how long they last with a paint pot and how well they blend with each other. As well as the two palettes I have I also have the MAC Cool Neutrals palette. I like this palette as I think the colours work well on my eyes if you haven't seen what it looks like I will either leave the link here or I will post it below along with the palettes I have made up.

Phloof - very light, pale pink
Orb -  soft, pink-peach

Malt -  soft pinky beige
Wedge -  mid tone taupe brown
Honesty - a very very light taupey beige with copper glitters
Antiqued - medium-dark red toned brown
Embark  - dark red brown 
Mystery - grey toned brown

Out of all the shades I have in this palette I have to say that my top 5 most used are Vanilla, Ricepaper, Naked Lunch, All that Glitters and Wedge I sometimes use all five all as an eye look.

Next up is my Gray and Black palette. I plan on getting a few pink and purples to fill up the rest of this palette.  Again from left to right

My Top 7 Mac Products

Since my boyfriend is at work / training I decided that I would try and do a few blogs for you guys as I keep saying I'm going to upload one and never do you guys will be getting 2 or 3 blogs depending on how long this one is going to take me... so lets get started

This was hard for me to do as I LOVE MAC... but I've managed to find my top 7 with some of the products I've brought with me. The first is product is going to be the MAC studio Fix foundation which I had previously mentioned in my January Favourites.



 These are only 2 of the 4 foundations I own by mac but I love the fact that these are a medium to full coverage. I personally love a full coverage as I feel I have bad skin (I have naturally red cheeks and hate how tired I look with out a full face of makeup). These foundations also have a nice smell to them I feel they smell minty... if you own a MAC foundation you will know what I mean. Oh I almost forgot the shades I have are NW10,NW15,NC15 and NC20...my NW's are from when I'm not tanned and my NC's are from when I'm tanned.

Second is my Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NW20, This concealer is perfect with NW15 as it gives a really nice under eye highlight. I also like to use this just as a concealer. This is a thicker consistency from the other MAC concealers I really want to the Studio Finish concealer...so maybe once I've used this one up I'll pick it up and let you know how I get on.

In third place is mac blushes I have about 6...I think but again I only have 3 with me the blushes that I own are, Well Dressed, Dame, Flure Power, Coy Girl, Prism( but I use this as a blush) and two Mineralise blush in Dainty and Gentle. The 3 I have with me are Fluer Power, Prism and Dame. I like Flure Power as it gives me a really nice look to the cheeks as if I've been out side and come back in again. Prism for me is an amazing bronzer as I have naturally pale skin so this works well for me, even when Im tanned this just gives my face a wee bit of dimension.  

Fourth is Mineralise Skinfinish's in the shades Soft and Gentle (as you can see I have two because im slowly running out of my older one) and Gold Deposit...as you can see I don't really use this but I feel during the summer when I use a darker tan ( I fake tan) I will be grabbing this a lot as a bronzer to get a darker highlight for my face but the one I use a lot is...yep you guessed it its Soft and Gentle I like to use this on my forehead, down my nose, on my cupids bow and on my chin.  

 



Fifth is lipliners I know you cant see what ones theses are very well so I'm going to include swatches underneath (either on my lips or on my hand). But the colours I have are Shock value (pro longwear), Nightmoth, In Synch and Boldy Bare.

Shock value is this gorgeous bright pink and looks amazing with Candy Yum Yum. Second is Nightmoth which is a really dark plum colour and can look good either alone or with Heroine ( which you'll see a swatch of next). Third is In Synch this gorgeous pink with a yellow tone underneath and looks amazing with Hue by Mac ( again im at my boy friends so I don't have this lipstick with me but I will be doing a Mac lipstick collection for you and I promise I will so stay tuned for that...it will be up Saturday) and lastly is Boldly Bare, a lot of people think that this colour wasn't popular before Kylie Jenner decided that fuller looking lips was a thing...(I'm pretty sure my mum was rocking a nude lip when she was my age...)any way this is a really nice red toned brown and again can be worn alone or with a few mac lipsticks.

This part is my favourite  LIPSTICKS!!! as I have previously said I have a lot of mac lipsticks off the top of my head I own 19..yep 19...I just love MAC lipsticks. I have 3 with me just now but as I said I will be going a blog post on Saturday of all the colours that I own. the three that I have with me are Pink Nouveau, Velvet Teddy and Heroine. Out of these 3 my favourite is Pink Nouveau it is this gorgeous bright pink colour and again looks amazing on any skin tone. Next up is Velvet Teddy which is this pretty deep toned beige that looks amazing with Boldly Bare and last but not least is Heroine which as you can see is this amazing bright purple and I love it I know I said in my pervious blog that I love pink lipstick but Im head over heels with this one.

I know this picture doesn't show off the colours very well but I promise Saturdays blog will be a lot better.

 

 

And last but not least is eye shadow ( I will probably do a more in detailed post on all the eye shadows I have and do swatches on my eyes...obviously) I know I keep saying this but I just love mac eye shadows I have different ones ranging for off white, to cream to brown and blacks. I also have mattes, frosts and shimmer shade in these palettes as you can see I need to fill up the dark palette and I was thinking of getting purples and pinks.

What Mac colours would you guys recommend? I was thinking about getting pinks and purples what do you think? Also what are your favourite mac products?

So as I always say until next time stay beautiful

January favourites

 

 So for the past 3 hours I've tried to type this I got it all finished and it some how deleted its self so here I go again...

As we are half way through February I've decided that its better late then never to give you what products I was loving last month. I'm just going to put wee disclaimer here now and say that a lot of the products ive been using are by MAC purely because I love MAC...with that being said lets get started.



I have dry skin, so I like to make sure its pretty much smooth all the time, so I like to use the Boots facial exfoliating sponge along with the boots facial wash in the morning and at night. After I've used the face products in the morning I like to use a thick layer of  Nivea soft face, body and hands before I apply my make up I then use Nivea crème after I take off my make up at night because this is a thicker moisturiser I only apply a thin layer at night and wake up in the morning with nice soft skin.

  Now on to my favourite part of this blog MAKE UP!!!!! The first product(s) I'm going to talk about is Foundation and mine has to be MAC studio fix foundation in the shades NC15 and NC20 for when I'm tanned, I love the smell of MAC products.

 

 



 

 

 My other face products include MAC's Prism, Dame and Soft and Gentle. I like to use prism to contour my cheek bones to make my face look a wee bit smaller, I also use Benefits Hoola Bronzer to give my face wee bit warmth. I like to use Dame on my cheek bones this just gives a healthy look to the cheeks. lastly I like to use Soft and gentel to give my hair a nice healthy glow so I like to use this on my forehead, down the bridge of my nose, on my cupids bow and on my chin. I know my Soft and Gentle looks a bit funny but I do have a back up so as soon as I use this one up I will be using that one.

 

 

 

In September I decided that i would start my mac eye shadow palette, I have 21 eyeshadows and I'm in love with all of them but the ones I seem to be grabbing are All That glitters, which is this gorgeous champagne shimmery colour( its the 9th eye shadow in my palette) and I like to put this all over my lid and this looks amazing on anyone with blue eyes, the next shade is Malt which is a brown/ taupe colour and I love using this in my crease to create a deeper looking eye( right next to All That Glitters). The final colour Wedge and I like to use this as my eye brown colour (I will be doing a blog post on this eye make up look soon so keep your eyes peeled for that).

 

 

 

 

 

And finally lips if any of you reading this know me you will know I'm a pink lipstick kinda girl so I decided that in January that I would try a different look on my lips ( yes I know that sounds silly but I LOVE pink lipstick). The lip stick combo that I have been loving is MAC's Boldly Bare and Velvet Teddy ( people were wearing this before Kylie Jenner made this a BIG THING!!!!) I also like to pair these two with MAC's pro longwear lipglass in Patient Please ( I'm currently at my boyfriends so I don't have that with me just now but if you like I can show you what lip combos I've really been loving)

 

 

 

So now onto Random favourites, at Christmas I asked my mum for Disney Dvds yes you read that right DISNEY DVD'S, I know some of you will be thinking em How old are you? I'm 23 and love Disney but the dvds that I have been watching this month are Frozen, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians and Tangled. Another dvd ive been grabbing is my Big Bang Theory Seasons I own 1-7 and I cant wait for the 8th to come out.. I just don't like watching it on TV as I cant really follow it ( im currently watching Season 1 while I type this). Now onto something I really love FAKE TAN!!! I hate being pale as I think it makes me look well bigger! :(, any way the Fake tan Ive been using is St Moriz now this does smell like biscuits but if you have a boyfriend that loves the smell of them then hey your in luck! Second to last is my  Nicki Minaj Onika perfume I just love the smell but don't ask me what it smells like as Im not good at describing scents, and finally nail polish I have been loving Essie's nail polish in Fiji to me this is the perfect soft pink/white shade and looks great on any skin tone.

Here's an over view of all the products I have been loving last month, sorry this post is so late but better late than never..

 

So until next time stay beautiful
