November Favourites Time!

Hello Everyone,

Its that time again where i show you what i has stood out to be in the past month. November has come and gone so quick that i haven't even had chance to sit back and think about what i have been loving so this months is quite short but just makes the products in here extra special as they have really stood out to me this month.

Firstly is the Real Techniques Nic's picks brush set, it contains all the basic brushes you need they are synthetic hair so as well as being easier to clean aren't animal hair, they are good quality and not too expensive. In superdrug at the moment the set is on offer for £20 which is less than £5 each brush which is amazing considering their quality. A whole blog post on the set is coming Thursday so makes sure to check back for more information.

The Maybeline falsies mascara has been my favourite for a while now, but when i went to repurchase it a few weeks ago i accidentally picked up the waterproof version. I have never been a waterproof mascara fan so was instantly disappointed when i found out i had picked up the wrong one, I thought i would give it a go just in case it wasn't as difficult to get off as most waterproofs are. It works just like the original, so lengthening, volumising and curling it didn't budge all day however when i got to remove it at the end of the day i was dreading it but just using my normal cleanser it instantly slipped away from my lashes. I can now happily say i have been converted and love this version so much!

As you may know i have been highlighting my hair for a while now, trying to lighten it up from the near black shade it was a year ago. I was getting it done every 6 weeks but with a huge price tag of near £70 i couldn't afford it much longer. After watching one of Niomi's videos on you tube a few months ago where she attended a Loreal prodigy hair dye event and seeing how well it worked on her highlighted hair i thought i would give it a go. It's only £6 from superdrug and boots so is saving me a lot of money especially good around the Christmas month ahead. It has worked really well with my hair i have used it twice now this time i have chosen a lighter colour and it is just so much simpler to massage in the hair, leave for 20 mins and wash off, no 2 hours of waiting around and it gives a near enough exact result so there is no question it has been a favourite of mine and i definitely recommend the range.

After my beloved look beauty cheeky tints contour shade ran out at the start of November i fancied a change and opted to pick up the sleek contour kit on vivianna does makeups recommendation, it is a perfect creamy blendable contour shade and is perfect for my skintone, i have to say it does beat my old favoutite, well done sleek!

That's all for the month of November, remember to check back Thursday for the real techniques brush set review and Tuesday for a festive pinterest post!
Have a great start to your week

Thinking about the future & Feeling Christmassy!

Hello Everyone,

(disclaimer; although i wish it was the bathroom isn't mine )

Recently its been dawning on me that this time next year things are going to be so different and also that next year is going to be so important for me. I've been looking at a lot of different colleges lately and i have definitely found one that i really like and feel as if it will be a really enjoyable experience, the college i have chosen isn't the closest to where i live but it is much better than the others i have visited so i am willing to travel a long way to get there. It scares me a little thinking about everything that is going to be different next year starting with all the revising,exams, prom and starting college although it is a huge change it is also a little exciting to think about how things are changing for the good and it also helps that i am off on holiday with my auntie and uncle just after prom woo!!

Christmas is just around the corner and it is beginning to look very festive everywhere, I'm super excited to put up the Christmas tree and all the decorations, i want to go really over board this year. As it is getting colder now in the UK baths are becoming a favourite of mine again and i am loving the zoella beauty fizz bar and the lush bubble bars, There is just something very satisfying about getting into a warm bath on a cold winters night.

Things have been very busy lately but i am trying to write a bulk of posts to put up gradually whilst i don't have time to sit and write for you, as lately i have posted hardly anything!

I hope your all having a wonderful day and are as excited for Christmas as me.

Thanks for reading!

My Autumn/Winter Beauty Staples

Hello everyone,

Back again but this time with something a little more beauty related, everything in the beauty category that i think is essential this autumn/winter.

Make-up

In the makeup department we have maybellines colour tattoo in metallic pomegranate, The rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107 and two felt tip black liners all taking part in some great runway makeup looks this season.

Skincare

The cold months have already knocked on our doors in the UK and my skin took a turn for the worst, the cold air is really damaging for the skin and it can get very dry it is important to find a moisturiser that hydrates your skin so that this doesn't happen, for me my best finds have been the Nivea daily face cream and the lush gorgeous facial moisturiser. Both are great and not high end which means they are great for anyone's bank balance.

Body 

Same as your face your body can also get dry as it is covered up constantly and needs a drink so it is also important to try and moisturise as often as you can.Two that i find great for this are the Vaseline cocoa butter and the lush vanilla Dee-lite body lotion.

Hope you found this helpful and enjoyed it
