February Favourites! ♥

I'm going to be doing 'Monthly Favourites' from now, if you're not familiar with this then it's just basically my favourite products (beauty and non-beauty) from the past month. It is going to be something I am going to be trying to stick to! 

Beauty Favourites! 

First thing is the blushes and a few eye shadows from the MUA palette. You can read a full review and view swatches here. I have been loving these blushes so much recently, they are really complementing my skin tone and have a nice (not too overpowering) shimmer to it. I am also loving the eye colours 'Grape' 'Chocolate' & 'Cookie' these three in my opinion are the most pigmented in the palette and look great on their own and together. Definite favourite for this month!

The next thing is my models own liquid  eye liner which I briefly talked about in My Models Own haul which you can read here. Just like I said there, I hate using liquid eye liner - I don't have a steady hand when it comes to drawing a neat line, however this eye liner is different. I don't know what it is!! It just comes on 

perfectly every time and is also very easy to remove unlike many liquid liner which take forever to remove! 

The next  - a nail polish! Got to got to have a nail polish in!! This one is by NYC which I think is a very under-rated brand in my opinion  They have a lovely range of nail colours and this colour has been my Favourite for this transition from winter to spring. It is a really nice deep plum/purple colour that looks amazing! I only applied 2 even thin coats to my nails - however more can be applied to build up the colour, it was very long lasting and looked fab! 

This is more random! HAIR GRIPS! Oh my jelly babies, you guys.. i don't honestly know where I would be right now if I didn't have any hair grips in my world. These small things are such life savers. Trust me - my bad hair days cope with these. I have the 200 pack from pound land which have lasted me a long time and a of a really good quality! 

We are never ever ever getting back together! I love love love Taylor Swift, she is just amazing! Her style, her music, her make-up, her hair! LOVE it all! I am also loving her perfume 'Wonderstruck' the first of her two perfumes she has. This smells so fresh, sweet  and fruity at the same time that it makes me fall over, I could bathe my self in it! It also lasts for such a long time after you put it on - amazing!

Random Favourites! 

My song of the month has to be .. 'What About Us' by The Saturdays! The girls are back with a new song after being in America for a while - which is being shown on their new series on E! 'Chasing The Saturdays' which I also adore. The song is just so catchy and the girls look amazing in the video. 

At the moment and probably forever and ever! I will love the programme Hawaii Five-o. Now I know in the US the series is in front of us here in the UK. So please NO SPOILERS PLEASE. I love the programme and I look forward to watching it every week. 

And that's it for this month guys! Comment below telling me your February Favourites!

Collection 2000 Smokey Eyes Review ♥

The other day I received a lovely package from Collection! I won a competition where I won a signed FanFair smokey eyes kit! I had actually had my eyes on this palette for a while, as I was wanting to try out some smokey eyes for events happening later on in the year. So here are swatches of the colours...

The palette is such a pretty, cute palette! It is great for travelling as it so small and easy to carry round - even handbag size so I can take it everywhere. The back of the palette does actually tell you how to apply the shadows but mine has signatures over it - oops. The swatches from the palette below are taken in columns the medium, dark and then light with the cream. 

First of all, the medium shades are all very pigmented and have a nice shimmery base to them. The first is a silver shimmer shadow which looks amazing on the eye as a base on its own; the second is a  gold shimmer shadow which is also great as a base for the eye as well as the third which is more of a whiter colour. 

The second column of shadows are much darker, the first is the darkest of them all as it is a jet black colour that gets applied in the corners and the edges. The second a brown matte colour which I LOVE on it's own all over the lid and on the outer corner. Finally the final one is a golder brown compared to the one above which is really pigmented. 

These three final, lighter shades are the nicest they are creamier and great for highlighting. The first one is a white shadow that is my favourite to highlight the upper part of your brow bone! And finally the cream shade, which is specifically designed to highlight the inner corner of your eye to give your smokey eye a nice finish! 

I recommend buying this palette if you are wanting to do a smokey eye look on a budget, it definitely delivers amazing result for the price you pay. I am going to be having so much fun with this palette in the future and can't wait to try it out!! p.s it so cheap!!
