January Favourites

So aren't you guys lucky three blogs in a week, im doing these now as I am going to be busy over the next few days so I thought I would get most of this done now and ready for you...I know its early but I thought I would tell you what ive been loving this month (im typing this on the 16th).

The first thing I've been loving this month is The Collection Extereme 24 hour felt tip liner and this is honestly one of the best liners I've used. Its perfect for getting the perfect cat eye...what would you guys say to me doing a video on how I do my eye liner?

 

Another thing I've been loving is MAC lip liners. These wee babies are amazing they do last and can be worn on their own. The ones I have been loving are Edge to Edge, Soar and Hip n Happy. As you can see they are different shade and work so amazingly under lipsticks.

 

Up Next is Lipstick I think I bought this one late December or maybe even on boxing day but its been the one that I have been grabbing the most recently. This is Brave by MAC and its this gorgeous Pink/Beige colour and looks amazing on any skin tone. I like to pair this with Soar for that Kylie Jenner esk lip.

 

I think ive put these in the wrong order but I might as well just keep going with it anyway..so up next is Vaseline and I love putting this on before I apply my lip liner as I feel it goes on a lot easier. Im also thinking about putting wee gems on mine just to make it more fancy, what do you guys think?

 

 

As some of you know I am a massive fan of Zoella so when I went shopping at Christmas time I decided that I would pick up her latest scent called Lets Spritz...don't ask me to describe the smell because this is the one thing I am rubbish at...but it does smell amazing.

 

 

Another one that Ive been loving is one from Zara in the scent Cherry Candy and this honestly does smell like Cherries and Candy but candy floss candy if that makes sense. This one does last all day unlike a lot of the other ones I have used in the past.

 

Up next is a nail polish now I think ive only ever spoken about one nail polish on this blog and to this day I still love it but I have been getting my nails recently so I haven't really been wearing nail polish but when I have its been this one.This is as you can see one by Models Own and its in the shade Cashmere Rose.

 

How would you guys feel about me doing a nails of the month blog? its just something ive been thinking about but I would honestly would love to hear what you guys think. Im getting my nails done on Tuesday (19th) so if you like I'll leave my instagram below so you guys can check them out and let me know what you think and what nails I should get done next.

December Favourites

Hey Guys so I'm back with another blog after some much needed time off and what better way to start a new blog is with a December Favourites. I know its late as we are half way through January but better late than never right?

So my first favourite of December has been my Mac Studio Fix Foundation in the shade NW10 and you might think this is very light but I am honestly this pale. What I love about this foundation is that its medium to full coverage foundation but very buildable. It is also has a satin finish but you can put a powder on top for a more matte finish.

To go along with my foundation I have been using is my Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NW15 I decided to go with a lighter colour as I like a nice bring under eye to make me look more awake.

 

Up next is a body spritz I think I said in November that I was loving this one and I still am...it just smells so good and last pretty much all day.

Up Next is Ru Pauls Drag Race now I bet most of you are thinking why the hell would you want to watch that? I watch it because I like it. I mean its one thing a woman being able to transform ourselves in the morning but a man...sorry a drag queen being able to transform from a good looking gay man into a gorgeous looking woman. I think out of all my seasons 5 and 6 have been my favourites.

 

Lastly is Disney DVD's and honestly I don't think I will ever stop watching them. Over December I tried to watch all of the ones I had and I think I got half way through and started watching Ru Pauls Drag Race.

 

So that's it from me just now but I'm sure I'll have another few blog posts soon..so stay tuned for those...but as I always stay beautiful

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
