February Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... Monthly favourites time!!! I 
know we all say this every month but honestly I cant believe how quick the months are going, its crazy... At least we can look forward to some sunshine, warmer days and pretty flowers now that spring is approaching. Anywhoo today I thought I would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout February... So here goes.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light

If you read my recent review you will know I LOVE this stuff, its just amazing!! I've been obsessed with creating a nice dewy/glowing base recently and this Maybelline BB Cream has helped so much! I've been buffing a small amount of the BB Cream into my skin first then taking a small amount of my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation which I also love, and buffing that in over the top and together the two make my skin look so healthy and glowing, I'm certainly going to be using this loads throughout spring/summer too. 

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in Soft Pink

I hadn't used this little beauty since last year and whilst going through my makeup collection this blush was just peering at me ha ha, I decided to put in back in my makeup bag and I've been using it everyday since the beginning of January, and I have to say it's the best cream blush I've ever used, it blends out so easily, you can build it up or use it with a light hand, it doesn't travel or move throughout the day and the colour is gorgeous too.

Sleek Contour Kit in Light

This Sleek Contour Kit is a favourite of mine all year round to be honest, but as I said recently I've been going for that dewy/glowy look so I've been using it more than ever. I love the fact that the contour shade is not orange or muddy looking, it's literally the perfect shade to contour with for my skin tone and the highlighter is one of the prettiest Ive ever used. I just love it!

L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution

I'm addicted to this micellar water at the moment and its definitely the best micellar water I've tried so far. It literally dissolves all my makeup off with ease and I never have to rub my delicate eye area either to remove eye makeup, my skin always feels so soft and clear after I've used it to which I love. If you'd like to know more about this little beauty, you can read my full review HERE.

Remington Pearl Pro Curl

I've constantly been wearing my hair curly/wavy for months now and the Remington Pearl Pro that I go for Christmas is the best hair tool I've used to create a soft, natural look. The tong shape is easy to use by simply wrapping your hair around the barrel and it creates beautiful soft curls, perfect for daytime and that last all day. I am going to be reviewing the Pro Curl in full soon, so keep an eye out for that beaut's.

What's been your favourite beauty products throughout February beaut's??? I'd love to know!!!

What I Got For Christmas 2013 ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I thought I'd join in on the 'What I Got For Christmas' bandwagon, personally I love reading these type of posts and seeing what lovely gifts everyone receives, I know this is abit of a love/hate post so I just want to add a little disclaimer that in no way am I bragging/ showing off, I'm a super lucky lady to receive all the lovely gifts I got and I really am grateful and thankful!!! Anywhoo lets get going....

Beauty/Make-Up/Perfume

Firstly let me just squeal in excitement at the fact my boyfriend Michael managed to get me the Naked 3 Palette...Eeeek!!!!! Words cannot describe how much I'm in love with this palette, its just so beautiful!!! Michael also got me the gorgeous Ted Baker Large Make-Up Bag, I've been lusting after one for a super long time so I'm thrilled to have one, its so cute!!! My Mum & Dad then surprised me with some MAC goodies & a Urban Decay Mascara,  it just goes to show my Mum doest actually switch off when I talk to her about make-up constantly ha ha bless her. 

Bath Sets

I'm a huge Soap & Glory lover, everything about the brand is amazing in my eyes so I was super thankful for these 2 beaut's. My Mum & Dad got me the 'Once Upon A Lime' Set which smells absolutely incredible, its so refreshing and will definitely wake me up when I have my morning shower. The 'Bright and Bubbly' Set was from Michael and contains 4 miniature Soap & Glory classics and a body buffer, this little lot is definitely going to keep me going for a while.
Electrical

Michael spoilt me so much this year bless him as the 'Remington Pearl Pro Curler' was a gift from him also, this past year I've really got into curly/wavy/textured hair so I'm super excited to try out this bigger barrelled curler and see what looks I can create. The 'Oral-B Electric Toothbrush' and 'Paloma Floral Lamp' where gifts from Michael's parents, after using the electric toothbrush I actually cant believe how nice your teeth feel afterwards compared to when you use a standard toothbrush, its bizarre but great ha ha. 
Candles

If you know me you will know I'm obsessed with Yankee Candles, I always have them burning everyday in my house, I'm such a crazy candle lady he he!!! I received a medium 'Beach Walk' candle from my Auntie, I must admit it's never really caught my eye when buying candles in the past, but my goodness it smells incredible!!! My Mum and Dad kindly got me a Christmas Samplers Selection, they know how much I love my Christmassy scents ha ha and Michael's parents bought me the large Apple Spice candle which again smells incredible.

Slippers

Oh my... How stinking cute are these slippers from Next!!! My Mum and Dad got these little beaut's for me and they are literally the softest most cosy slippers that my feet have ever seen ha ha.

Blogging Goodies

I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I opened up this... a Portable Photo Studio!!!!! How amazing!!!!! I've been lusting after lighting for my blog pictures for a while as taking blog photos at this time of the year is impossible so this present has just answered alot of my prayers ha ha, I love the fact that the set is all portable, making it so easy and lightweight to carry around and if I only want to use the lights out of the set I can or If I just need the tripod etc. I'm really looking forward to having a play around/photo session soon and hopefully my picture quality will improve. Major boyfriend points for Michael for treating me to this ha ha. 

So that's most of my gorgeous gifts, my goodness I'm a lucky girl!!! I also received some comical stocking filler gifts, a tonne of chocolate that I think will last me a lifetime ha ha and this year me and Michael received quite alot of money so we will be treating ourselves in the sales I'm sure!!!

What did you get for Christmas beaut's??? Leave me your links below as I'd love to see.

Face and Hair of the Day

Hey girlie's!!! I went out for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend and his dad so i thought i may as well share with you a cheeky little face of the day (focused more on the eyes than the skin) and hair of the day combined.... Hope you like ♥

Face

♥ Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory, i used my Real Techniques Buffing brush to get a nice flawless finish.

♥ Collection Concealer in Light.

♥ Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium, i used my Real Techniques Powder brush to get the perfect finish.

Eyes

♥ Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study, i just blended this all over the lid with my finger to work as a base for my eyeshadow.

♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, i started off mixing 'Foxy' and 'WOS' together with my Real Techniques base shadow brush and popped that all over the lid, using the same brush i took the colour 'Faint' and worked that into my crease. To get that extra blended finish in my crease area i picked up a small amount of 'Naked 2' on my deluxe crease brush and just buffed away. I used my accent brush to smudge 'Crave' on the outta corner of my lower lash line.

♥ Dainty Doll Liquid Eyeliner on the upper lash line.

♥ Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Kohl Eyeliner in Black used to line the water line.

♥ Maybelline The Falsies Mascara in Black.

Brows

♥ HD Brows Kit using Ash Brown from the Foxy Palette, i used my Real Techniques detailer brush as this brush is the perfect shape for my brows.

Lips

♥ Natural Collection's Pink Mallow.

Hair

♥ As always i used my Remington Pearl Curling Wand to curl my hair, I'm loving this style at the moment as the curls stay in for a good couple of days in my hair, which in the long run it means I'm using less heat on my hair. 

Love Hayley xXxXx
