August 2015 Beauty Favourites! ♥

Hey beaut's! 

I haven't done a beauty or non beauty monthly favourites in soooooo long, I used to do them every month without fail and for some reason I just forgot all about them, but fear not the favourites posts are now making a comeback he he. I cant believe how quick this year is going, Autumn/Winter are now approaching and I cant blooming wait he he! Anywhoo onto what I've been loving this month beauty wise!

My first favourite this month is my Urban Decay Naked Palette. I've had my palette for years, it was one of the very first high end makeup items I ever owned and I'm still in absolute love with it years later. 

Next is my trusty Real Techniques Sculpting Brush! I actually now own two of these brushes because I love them so much, I use one for applying my foundation everyday and the other I use to contour with and it works amazingly well both ways. I do have a review HERE if you'd like to read my thoughts in full but overall it's an amazing brush with so many uses.

The Bourjois 1 Seconde Mascara is literally my holy grail mascara, I tried it back in April and have been hooked ever since. The volume, length and lift it gives is incredible all with just about two strokes of the brush, so theres no faffing around with building up coats of the mascara for volume or length it's just instantly there which I love, and theres not a single clump in sight.

The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat is quite new to me but I flipping love it! The tiny light particles and mineral extracts within the formula really help to create light, luminosity and radiance to all of the places on the face that need it. I found that on me it literally banishes the dark shadows underneath my eyes and works perfectly underneath my concealer, adds a gorgeous but subtle highlight to my cheekbones, brow bone and down the nose, and it can really trick the eye when used around the contours of the lips because it can make them appear fuller and more pouty which I really like when I'm wearing lipstick.

The little Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara is next on my list of favourites this month, the cute wand honestly gets to every single tiny bottom lash and makes my lower lash line appear a lot fuller, it has honestly found lower lashes that I didn't know existed ha ha. As well as being fantastic for those lower lashes it's also great at getting those hard to reach inner corner lashes on my top lash line, not to mention it's staying power is incredible, it literally doesn't transfer, move or flake all day, I've fallen in love with this little cutie.

Next is my favourite drugstore lipstick ever the L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Fuchsia Declaration - a deep Satin Fuchsia Pink, I've been wearing this most days over the last few months and I am just obsessed with the formulation. Fuchsia Declaration is super pigmented and contains plant-based oils to care for the lips leaving them feeling moisturised the entire time. It also has a run-off prevention agent that holds the lipstick in place for smudge-proof wear, arhhh it's the best lipstick ever!

I've started to have more baths than showers recently and have been using up all of my left over Lush goodies and I just had to feature my Comforter Bubble Bar. The Comforter is one of my all time favourites from lush, you get sooooo many uses out of it because you only need the smallest piece crumbled into your bath to get pretty pink water and lots of bubbles and it smells divine.

 I'm a massive VO5 fan and recently tried their Nourish My Shine Bedazzling Oil Heat Protector and it's amazing, it not only protects your hair from heat but leaves my hair feeling soft, silky, nourished and totally gorgeous. Love that stuff!

My last beauty favourite this month ( I know theres been so many he he) is the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm, I'm actually on my second tub of this stuff and it's absolutely amazing! You use the balm with a muslin cloth and it literally melts all your makeup away and give your skin a thorougher cleanse whilst also moisterising. I do have a review coming up soon so keep your eyes peeled! 

What have you been loving this month beaut's?? I'd love to know.

2013 Haircare Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

So we may have waved goodbye to 2013 but we can still appreciate a few products we've loved throughout last year cant we? So today I thought I'd do a little round up of a few hair  products that have become either favourites of mine or staple products that I repurchase over and over and cant live without otherwise my hair would be... well just awful ha ha!!! I've already put up my 2013 Beauty Favourites which you can read here ,I could of put lots of products in this post as I really have loved alot of  hair products in 2013 but here are the handful I have chosen, and be warned I do love me some VO5 ha ha....  

Rana Argan Oil
Ive been growing out my hair throughout 2013 and leaving my hair alot longer between trims so the ends tend to split quite bad and also the added fact I use heat on my hair quite often means my hair does need some treatment and a little pick me up, thank goodness for Rana Argon Oil!! I love to use the oil as a before shampoo treatment, I just spritz it all through my hair thoroughly the leave for 40 minuets and shampoo out, it leaves my hair feeling really smooth, shiny and the ends looked so much more healthier.

VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray
A heat protect spray is essential for me as I use heat on my hair most days and VO5's offering is my all time favourite, it smells incredible, it doesn't weigh my hair down or make it greasy and it protects up to 230 degrees which I think is really good and whats best is its super affordable!!!

VO5 Give Me Texture Tousled Style Spray
 I adore this stuff!!! If you curl or wave your hair this little beauty will be your best friend forever. Ive been curling my hair quite often, its just the style I seem to love at the moment and this spray seems to really help with the effects. I literally curl my hair, put a few pumps of the tousled style spray into my hands and then use my hands like a comb and run it through my hair, not only does it get away any frizz but it just adds more texture and oomph to my hair. I even use this on second/third day hair and it will literally bring your curls/waves back to life like you've just re curled your hair when you actually haven't, its amazing!!! 

VO5 Plump It Up
I only discovered this is October but I just couldn't leave it out, its incredible! I hate backcombing my hair as its such a chore, not to mention how much it damages your hair but I do love abit of added volume at my roots so this stuff is like magic in a can for me ha ha. You simply give the can a good shake before use then spray evenly on dry hair, including your roots, I then rub and jujj where I've sprayed the backcombing spray and then your left with loads of volume, your hair is honestly huge, its also great for up doo's too, whoop!!!

L'Oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray
Whenever I want to achieve messy beachy waves I reach for this L'Oreal beauty every time. You can either use it on dry or damp hair, give it a good scrunch and then voila, you have beachy waves within minutes, its so easy and great for the summer too.

Tigi Bed Head Headrush
This stuff is great if your hair is looking and feeling really dull, its adds so much shine and makes your hair look freshly washed and as with most Tigi products it smells gorgeous!!!

And there you have it, a few hair products that really have made a difference on my hair during 2013.

What have your haircare favourites been during 2013??? Leave me you links if you've done a similar post as I'd love to read it.

September Favourites ♥


Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... September favourites time!!! This month has literally flown, although it makes me super excited for all the Autumnal fun ahead he he. Anywhoo... I thought i would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout this past month... So here goes...

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan



A fake tan is something i never thought would be in my monthly favourites as I'm really not much of a fake tanner, but ever since trying out the Cocoa Brown Tan I've been completely converted. I love the fact that with Cocoa Brown you get natural looking results within an hour with the option of leaving the tan on for up to 3 hours depending on how dark you want to go. The reason i love this tan so much is not only is it quick and simple to use but the colour is beautiful and isn't orange or rusty looking in the slightest. Check out my full review here.

Mac Quad Palette 



I was lucky enough to get this Mac quad palette with All That Glitters, Satin Taupe, Naked Lunch and Omega inside for my birthday at the end of August. It fair to say I've used this nearly everyday during September as the shades are just so beautiful and great for everyday wear. The only downside is I'm now addicted to Mac eye shadows and now need more in my life, my purse is going to hate me he he. 

Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner



I have always struggled with applying liquid eyeliner until i got my hands on this little beauty, its literally amazing!!! If you also find applying liquid liner hard work or creating wings/flicks never goes your way give this a go, the felt tip nip makes it super easy to use and to create straight lines and level flicks. It had great lasting power too and stays in place all day, i also love that its a matte finish liquid liner making it perfect for daytime. Check out my full review here.

VO5 Give Me Texture Tousled Style Spray



If you curl or wave your hair this little beauty will be your best friend, i just love it. Ive been curling my hair quite often, its just the style i seem to love at the moment and this spray seems to really help with the effects. I literally curl my hair, put a few pumps of the tousled style spray into my hands and then use my hands like a comb and run it through my hair, not only does it get away any frizz but it just adds more texture and oomph to my hair. I even use this on second/third day hair and it will literally bring your curls/waves back to life like you've just re curled your hair, its amazing!!! 

Topshop Nail Polish in One Hot Minute



 Ive been addicted to this shade 'One Hot Minute' though September, its just that perfect shade to get you from summer to autumn, its a nice magenta shade with that autumn berry vibe which i love!!! The Topshop nail polishes are also great in quality and the packaging is just super cute. You can check out my full review on Topshop nail polishes here.
