February Favourites | 2017

As we are now in March (seriously how?!?) it's time for me to share with you my favourites from last month. This month I found it easy to think of fashion and beauty favourites but I found it hard to think of lifestyle favourites so I have decided to include more music favourites as my lifestyle faves are pretty much the same as last month.

Black Minimalist Backpack- This month I decided to get a bigger backpack because my small ones were too small so I got this one from New Look. It's really nice and it goes with all outfits. It also looks really cute and is so much more handy than carrying around a handbag on your arms.

Wine Red Off The Shoulder Jumper- Over the last two months or so I have been loving off the shoulder so earlier this month I picked up this wine red jumper and I love it so much. It's really comfy and I love the colour as it's so beautiful. This is from Primark and was £6 which is a bargain.

Ivy Park T-Shirt- This has been one of my favourite tops to wear because I love the material of it and I know some people don't like branded stuff but I kinda do sometimes so I really like this top and it looks really nice with jeans. This was from Topshop and was £16 which is expensive but it is good quailty. 

Real Techniques Brushes- Over the last couple of months I have been buying the Real Techniques brushes and they are so good and I can't believe I hadn't bought them before. They're really soft and they apply makeup so nicely. I think my favourite is the foundation brush as it really blends in my foundation.

NYX Butter Glosses- Now I have quite a few of these in my collection and I really like them. They have a really, creamy formula and they look gorgeous on the lips. There is also a huge shade range which means you can get pinks, red, nudes, purples depending on whatever you prefer. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation- I picked this foundation up because I had tried loads of other Rimmel foundations and they were all good so I bought this one. This one is really good and it is high coverage which is good because I need my foundation to cover my dark under eye circles as well as concealer.

Drawers- These drawers hold my makeup collection, other beauty bits and also school stuff and they have made my room look so much more cleaner and I wonder why I never got drawers sooner. They're from Amazon and were around £20 but the shipping was about £8 which is really good.

YouTube- In the past month I have been watching a lot of YouTube and I have definitely preferred it to TV or even Netflix as I haven't found anything that I've really wanted to watch. I have been watching a range of YouTubers and even TV shows on there so I don't actually have a particular channel that's been a favourite.

Favourite Songs- This month I have chosen two songs because I couldn't think of another lifestyle favourite. My favourite songs have been Castle On The Hill by Ed Sheeran (I do like Shape Of You but I prefer Castle On The Hill) and September Song by JP Cooper. These are the songs I have been listening to and singing along to the most. 

They have been my favourites from the month of February. I am actually in shock with how quickly this month has gone and before we know it, it will be Christmas again which is such a scary thought!

January Favourites | 2017

It's that time of the month where I share all of the products that I have been loving recently. Sadly I didn't get a chance to do a December Favourites because I was ill at the end of the month so these favourites are kinda from December as well but it doesn't matter if I didn't share them with you.
Real Techniques Brushes- At the end of December I decided to buy some Real Techniques brushes because I've wanted them for ages and I'm so glad I finally bought them because they are amazing and I definitely want to get some more and I don't know why I didn't buy them sooner.

Benefit They're Real Mascara- When I first bought this mascara I wasn't too keen on it because it kept clumping my lashes together but when I started using this mascara for more natural looks it definitely worked better so I'm using this mascara for school and for when I want big lashes I'm going to use my Maybelline mascara.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation- I loved the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation but I ran out of that so I decided to try this foundation and I really like it; I'm not sure what one I would choose as my favourite but this is definitely better than the other foundations I have. Next up I want to try the Rimmel foundation that has the red lid.

Khaki Jumper from H&M- This time last year I probably wouldn't have worn this colour but as my style has evolved I now really like this khaki colour. This jumper is really nice to wear and it is actually quite cosy. I like wearing it with my black jeggings and my leather jacket and that is an outfit I've been wearing quite a bit.

Pink Off The Shoulder Jumper from Primark- Like the khaki jumper this is another jumper I have been wearing a lot. I didn't think I would like the off the shoulder style but I bought this jumper anyway and I do really like it and I'm not actually that cold when I wear it. This was from Primark and it was only £6 which is a bargain.

Indigo Blue Jeggings- I went through a period of hating jeans but after I tried the Primark black jeggings I kinda came obsessed and got some more pairs and my favourite at the moment has to be the indigo blue pair and I've actually been wearing with a lot more outfits that I thought and they were only £6.

A5 Organiser from Paperchase- At the end of December I decided to get a new planner for the new year and I'm obsessed with it. I've definitely streamlined my planning and at the end of the 2016 I was feeling quite unmotivated and this has definitely helped me to become more motivated with school and my blog. 

Lush Baths- At the moment I have a lot of Lush bath bombs and bubble bars, which means that I have been able to have lots of baths. I still have a lot left but I having been buying a lot but that's because at this moment in time I'm obsessed with having baths and I love having a bath bomb or use a bubble bar in my bath.

Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding- I've decided that this year I'm going to read one book a month (I hardly read so I feel like this is realistic for me) and for January I'm finishing Bridget Jones Diary. I love it and when I finish it I definitely want to watch the film and also read the next two books.

Bad Things by Machine Gun Kelly and Camilla Cabello- This has been my favourite song of the month and there's actually been quite a lot of good music this month like the two new Ed Sheeran songs but this has been my utltimate favourite and I have listened to it so much but I still love it.

They're all my favourites from the month. I think my new way of doing monthly favourite posts will be to have three fashion items, three beauty products, three lifestyle things and a song, let me know if you like that idea!

November Favourites

It's that time of the month where I share everything I have been loving recently and to be completely honest I found it quite hard to choose things to put in my favourites so this month I only have six favourites; I think its because I found it so easy to choose favourites last month so this month it was quite hard. 

New Handbag from New Look- Every month in my favourites I always share the new handbag I have that much (I have a serious handbag problem) and this month is no different. This bag is from New Look and I love it because it's a perfect size and I love that it has a shoulder strap and also handles to use on the crook of your arm or hands. It was also £18.99 which is a great price.

Maybelline Colossal Go Extreme Mascara- When I first got this mascara I didn't really like it and that put me off Maybelline mascaras as I know my friend Nicha doesn't like the Lash Sensational mascara but since using this for over a month now I actually quite like it and it does give a lot of volume. 

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer- In my favourites last month I featured the foundation and this month I'm mentioning the concealer! This concealer is really good at covering and brightening my dark circles although not fully as I have the darkest dark circles and nothing can cover them completely.

Lush Christmas Collection- I only really go to Lush at Christmas time and that's because I love the Christmas scents and bath bombs and bubble bars. My favourite Christmas bath bomb is So White and it smells of apples and my favourite Christmas bubble bar is Candy Mountain and I love the Snow Fairy shower gel.

Costa Christmas Drinks- I love Costa anytime of the year but at Christmas time they pull it out the bag. I was really excited to learn they brought back my favourite from last year, the Black Forest Hot Chocolate but when I had it I was kind of disappointed because it wasn't the same as last year but the Mint Hot Chocolate is incredible.

Black Mirror on Netflix- This has been my TV favourite of the month and I started watching Black Mirror after Tanya Burr mentioned it in her October Favourites and I was having a sick day off school so I started to watch it and omg it's incredible and I would recommend it as every episode is different.

That's all of my favourites this month and there wasn't many but I do really love these favourites and I didn't want to put any favourites in here for the sake of it but I'm sure I'll probably have lots of December Favourites.

October Favourites

As we wave October goodbye it's only fitting to do an October Favourites. This months favourite includes fashion, makeup, TV shows and a planner. I found it really easy to choose my favourites this month but it was hard to only choose 8 (or however many favourites I actually have).

Makeup Revolution Sugar and Spice Blush Palette- When I was in Superdrug this month I decided to get a blush palette because I only had like three blushes and I've really been liking blush. This palette is incredible; the shades are so beautiful and pigmented and my favourite two are the two on the far right. 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation- I've wanted this foundation for months but I always forget about it when in Superdrug and if I remembered they didn't have my shade. I've been using this for a couple of weeks and I love it because it lasts all day and has really good coverage.

Metallic A5 Organiser from Paperchase- When I was in the Tottenham Court Road Paperchase I went to the sale section and found this gorgeous planner for £6.50 and there wasn't anything else I liked so I went to the till and found out I had £5 off so I got this for £1.50 which is amazing and there's nothing faulty with the planner.

Black and White Trousers from Primark- I've wanted trousers like this for a while now but I had never got them because I don't really like trousers but OMG I love these; they're so comfy and I can create loads of outfits with them- although I make sure it's a plain top and I wear a lot of black with these.

Tan Handbag from Primark- Lots of girls from my school do have this as their school bag but I use this as my handbag because using a Primark bag for school is not the wisest option (I've been there). I wanted a big shoulder bag because I didn't have any and it means I get a lot of room but I don't have to carry it in my hands.

Autumn is when all the good TV shows come back and I have so many shows that I want to watch on Netflix and shows on BBC and ITV iPlayer but shows I have been watching and loving has been:
-Haters Back Off on Netflix (this is the Miranda Sings show)
-The Mummy Diaries- Sam Faiers on ITVbe 
-Strictly Come Dancing and It Takes Two on BBC One and Two

That's everything I've been loving in the month of October. Can you believe that it's November because I can't. I thought last year went fast but this year has gone so fast, January feels like yesterday.

September Favourites | 2016

As we are now in October that means that it's time to do my September Favourites. I haven't really got that many products this month however when it came to choosing what were my favourites from September, I did find it quite easy so that means the products we have this month are really my favourites.

My New Handbag from Primark- Earlier this month I went to Primark to get some autumn clothing (even though it was when we was having that nice period of weather) and this was the new bag I picked up and I loved it. It has 2 big sections and the inside of it is super soft and the colour of the bag is really nice.

Chelsea Boots from Primark- Also in that Primark shopping trip I also bought some chelsea boots because I've wanted some for ages and Primark had a huge selection of ankle boots for around £7 (what a bargain!) and these were the ones I liked the most and I know I'm going to wear these loads over the next few months.

Victoria's Secret Pink Body Lotions and Mini Body Mists- I love Victoria's Secret Pink and this month I have been using a lot of their body care (I will be doing a review) including the body lotions which are really moisturising and I've also been using the mini body mists because they fit in my school bag really well.

Laptop- I feel like my laptop could be a fave in every favourites post but I do love my laptop. I use it for everything including blogging, watching YouTube/Netflix and the thing I don't want to do on here, homework. My laptop is by HP and that's all I know about it because I wasn't involved when buying it.

eos Lip Balm- I know I have included this in a favourites post before earlier in the year but now that I'm back at school I've been using these a lot more. For my birthday last year I got a pack of 5 and my favourites are either the Blueberry Acai one or the light purple one but I can't remember the scent of it.

Victoria's Secret Makeup Bag used as a Pencil Case- A lot of my favourites this month have been based on school because obviously school has been started again so that's why I'm including my pencil case but I really like it because it's a good size and I love the leopard print.

The Luxe Life by Fleur DeForce- This month I finally got Fleur DeForce's new book because I had the first one (The Glam Guide) but I kept forgetting to buy it but now I have it and I've been wanting to read it all the time and I think it's because it's non-fiction and I'm not too keen on fiction books.

That was my September Favourites and I hope you enjoyed it. In the comments below let me know what your favourite things are because I would love to know!

August Favourites

As it's the end of August I'm going to be doing my August Favourites and this is a year since my first ever Favourites post and I still can't believe I've had this blog for over a year and I've kept it up. My favourites this month are-

Netflix- I finally got Netflix this month and I'm so glad I did because I didn't realise I would love it as much as I do and use it as much as I do- this has made me be so un-productive but as it's summer it doesn't really matter.

Victoria's Secret Body Mists- I have a crazy amount of the Victoria's Secret body mists and I will be doing a collection on them but this month I have really been liking them as I now have so many scents. The one in the picture is Strawberries & Champagne.

Clear Tiger Organisation- This month I've finally worked out my makeup organisation (blog post coming soon) and I've used these clear organisers from Flying Tiger and I really like them as you can see your makeup through them.

Capital Throwback on Capital Breakfast- Every morning I have been listening to the Capital Throwback and I really like it because they choose a good selection of songs and I actually know a lot of them so it's not too old school.

Pizza Hut- Recently I've been to Pizza Hut quite a bit and I'm not complaining because I really like it and I definitely prefer it to Pizza Express. My favourite pizzas from there is either the BBQ Americano or the Chicken Supreme.

Collection Moisturising Lip Butter in Vintage Rose- This has been my lip colour of choice this month because I haven't been bothering with too much makeup and this is a nice natural colour.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell- Thinking back I think I included this in last months favourites but I'm still reading it (because some mornings when I normally read I have been on my Kindle instead which is bad but I do it anyway).

That's all of my favourites for the month of August. I actually found it quite hard to choose this month's favourites but I'm happy with what I have chosen and they are my favourites from August.
