Currently Loving #10

 Wow, how are we in November this weekend?! Its crazy how fast this year is going, despite everything that has gone on. I haven't done a round up of my favourite products/lifestyle things in forever and I thought that today would be the perfect opportunity. Its a mix of beauty, nails and lifestyle things...                                          

                                            

Products That Got Me Through January

January always feels like the LONGEST month. Payday seems like 100 days away, the winter cold drags on and on and everyone just seems to be really down. I've picked myself up by varying my routines, having more pamper time and enjoying more wonderful products.

Currently Loving #9

I love it when I come across products that are amazing, what a way to share the love then in a good old favourite posts. I'm a creature of bad habit when it comes to these posts as I tend to use the same things everyday rather than trying new things out, however I am doing my best to mix things up as often as possible. Hopefully, that means more of these! 

End of Summer Favourites

My summer officially ended on Monday when I went back to work :( Six glorious weeks off and now back to the grind. Even though I do love the lazy days, hot weather and doing nothing at all - being back at work feels good. I'm slowly getting back into a routine and actually have things to do, which is nice! Over the summer, I have discovered so many new products. From haircare to lip care, there has been lots. So, I thought it would be nice to whittle them down and select a few standouts to share with you today...

Currently Loving #7

Happy May! The months are flying by and I am loving a whole new set of products. From skincare to makeup, there's a whole mix! My aim in April was to really shop my stash, use products that have been collecting dust and trying my hand at new products too. 

L'Oreal Foundation (full review)

I have no bad words to say about this foundation, none. This is actually my second bottle and I can't imagine life without it. It gives me medium coverage for everyday, lasts on my face through work and hides everything. The biggest positive for me is that despite it having quite a fragrant smell to it, my skin doesn't break out and I haven't broken out whilst using it. 

MAC Soar Lipstick with Fenty Gloss Bomb in Fu$$y

This lip combination is one that I can't get enough of! Soar is a stunning lip liner from MAC and one that I have used for years, when they realised the lipstick form - it took me seconds to order it and I am so glad I did. This shade is the perfect dark, mauve pink nude and just looks gorgeous. When paired with the Fenty gloss on top, my lips are in heaven. This gloss isn't sticky or irritating, like some are. Its lightweight and easy to wear - so no hair sticking on the lips! 

Anitpodes Eye Cream* (full review) 

My under eyes have become so dry recently. When I don't drink enough water, they really suffer and more than ever a few weeks ago they were horrible. They hurt to rub and there was so much flaky skin. The only thing that helped them and restored them back to normal was this eye cream from Antipodes. It was soothing on the very sensitive area and provided it with some moisture. I popped it in the fridge a few nights and the cooling sensation on my eyes was so nice. 

Sunday Riley U.F.O Oil

SR is a very luxury skincare brand, this is only the second item from them that I have ever tried but I am keen to try so much more. This oil was one I bought from someone on Instagram, who was selling a bottle only 1/4 for £25  - a bargain! I apply this on my chin every night because the combination of ingredients help the spots stay at bay, even when its the time of the month. It keeps them away and I couldn't be without it. 

Zara Perfume

On a recent trip to the beloved Zara, I picked up one of their perfumes to try and I am madly in love. This one is my everyday work scent, a quick spritz and I'm good to go. Its very floral and sweet, which is what I love for work and the scent *actually* lasts on me for a few hours. I just loveeee it. 

Lifestyle

I am loving green tea at the moment, I seem to be drinking like 6 cups a day. Its very good for you and at work instead of coffee with lots of sugar in, this is much better. 

In the TV world there are so many things at the moment. Jane the Virgin is currently on its final run and the emotions are high. I am so invested in the series, the characters and the storyline that I don't want it to end!! There is also Station 19, which is a Grey's spin-off, and the drama that happens is so interesting! I went to see Avengers: Endgame last week and my goodness it was incredible. 

                                                                                       
   

Currently Loving #6

The past two months have been a time for me to rediscover old product and fall in love with new products too. I've realised that if I'm not using something - bin it. If I love something - use it up. My skin is also calming down a lot, the only thing I'm dealing with now is the scarring side of things, which has meant that having a more dewy makeup look has been my go on some days and matte on others. I've been loving the change in looks and its been so much fun experimenting. 

Pixi Rose Flash Balm* // 

This is just the perfect daily moisturiser, within seconds of applying it, my skin feels hydrated. It is very lightweight, making it perfect to use under makeup and even as a primer. My face just looks alive and rested (which is most definitely isn't). This is just one of the many rose products from their range that I have fallen in love with - can't fault this at all. 

Flower Beauty Foundation //

There's a full review and breakdown of this foundation in this post, but I couldn't not mention it. On those days where I want to wear less makeup or need to be out of the house quickly this is perfect. It applies like a dream and makes me look very dewy. The other way I use it is by mixing a tiny bit of the flash balm in with, to create an almost tinted moisturiser. Perfect for when my skin needs a little bit of something to keep me looking one colour. 

MUR Baked Bronzer

I love bronzerrrrr, like sooo much! I love how they warm the skin up, give it some glow and wearing one reminds me of summer - which I can't wait for. After spotting this baked one in Superdrug it was too hard to resist it, just look at how pretty it is, all the golden swirls going through it - magical. I love using a big fluffy brush and pouncing this all over my face. It gives my face warmth and a gorgeous subtle sheen, which is more than enough for everyday wear. They have a few shades of this and I think in the summer, I may need to go one up from this one. 

Pixi Rose Glow Mist*

Did I mention I'm obsessed with my skin looking dewy? This doesn't just stop at my face either, my legs and arms are also in on the action. This glow mist is technically for the face but applying to my body is the best decision I ever made. It makes my skin GLOWWWW. The tiniest spritz massaged into the skin after applying moisturiser, gives it another layer or nourishment and this subtle, shimmery sparkle that when it hits the light, it looks stunning. If you have this, please try! 

MAC Soft and Gentle

An oldie but a goodie. I'd forgotten about this skin finish because so many other highlighters have taken over in the recent years but finding it again has made me the happiest girl. The pink and silver shimmers mixed together, create this perfect highlighter for everyone. On my skin tone is just gives me that BOOM of a highlight that I can't stop staring at.

Currently Loving #4

I love reading and watching monthly favourites but always find it hard to do them myself because I am always using the same products! These past two months I have finally been forcing myself to use products that are tucked away and try new things. With the sun making so much more of an appearance too, its been important to use products that keep my skin refreshed and not oily. 

                                     

April Favourites

This month has been a stressful one to say the least as is May, as with every month I am always in shock with how fast it is going. Time is of the essence and this months living in the moment goal and helped me a huge deal. The motto is now 'if it doesn't get done today there's always tomorrow'. Here is what I have been loving this past month..

February Favourites

Who knew that February would come and go so quickly! Here is a quick low down of all the things I have been loving, beauty, lifestyle and of course TV! 

January Favourites

January has come and gone, I just can't quite believe it! Today I am sharing with you my favourites for this month, including makeup, tv and food! 

June Favourites| Beauty, Music and More!

June? Where did you disappear? This month has been full of exams and celebrations, and as this is been published I am in Germany on a well deserved break. Not many beauty favourites this month but a lot of random! 

June has meant that I have had to get my arms and legs out, the dry skin on them was horrible and the only thing that fixed it was the Body Shop Amazonian Wild Lily Lotion, not only does it smell amazing but it nourishes your skin and settles in straight away so you can put you clothes on straight away. 

Summer for me is also a chance to have lazy hair days, no washing or heat just a spritz of the Dove Dry Shampoo and I am good to go. Compared to all the other dry shampoos that I have tried, this smells amazing and doesn't leave a white powder in hair - win win. 

Can you tell this month's favoruites has a summer theme? Bronzer is something I am slowly getting into and the I Heart Makeup one is perfect for that subtle look and warm glow. The only thing that I don't like is the size of the bronzer because when I touch it with my brush, it goes everywhere (you should see my floor!) 

A favourites post isn't a favourites post without my nail polish picks, right? The first one is a instagram enabled purchase Eat My Dust is a stunning blue and a lot of people have complimented me on the colour as well. Then we have Resort Fling on the total opposite end of the scale, a bright orange coral that looks stunning in the summer and is my official toenail colour! Having bright nails and a warm glow to my skin means that I have had to tone down my lips a little bit to keep it natural, Berry Smoothie is the perfect everyday lip colour with a slight pink tint.


This month I have been loving Black Magic by Little Mix, I am a huge fan as it is but this song has made me love them even more! As well as that TV wise this month I have been loving the re runs of Rules of Engagement on Comedy Central as well as The Mindy Project which has just started again on E4!

April Favourites| Beauty,TV & Birthday Cake Frap!

April? How is it over already, with just another few weeks until I officially finish sixth form,I am praying that time actually goes a lot slower. We are now well into spring and my favourites this month are inspired by the beautiful weather outside! 

Max Factor Facefinity Primer//

When the weather gets nicer I tend to apply a lot less to my face, yet it still manages to come off within a few hours. The solution recently has been the amazing primer from Max Factor. I featured it in February's Favourites and it decided another mention (surprised I haven't done a review yet oops) because it is just that good. 

Loreal Infallible 24 Hour Matte// If I talk any more about this foundation I think I may just run out of words, the soft consistency is amazing and goes on like an absolute dream to leave you with this medium to high coverage face that lasts all day. If you want to read a more in-depth review then you can read it here.

Max Factor Blush in Nude Mauve// Another product I just can't stop talking about and also wearing, it has got to the point where the puffiness of the blush has deflated and is now flat *sad face* I love the shade and it is perfect for everyday. To hear me rave about these even more, read the review here.

Maybelline Colour Elixir in Rose// This is a lip product that I bought a while back, didn't like it at all and now have fallen in love with because it looks amazing on top of nude lipsticks like the rimmel kate moss in 07 - ideal everyday lip combo.

BarryM Speedy in Heart Skipped a Beat// Spring isn't spring without the nail colours, am I right? It took me a while to bring out the summery colours because I was waiting for the perfect time and now it is officially time and this beauty from BarryM is a coral that looks stunning and not too orange either. This whole range is amazing and it takes very little time to dry as well, more here.

Chanel No 5// My ultimate spring and summer scent is anything sweet and strong, Chanel is basically the answer for everything. No 5 is a classic from the brand and I think that no one can go wrong with, I cry my little heart out though ever time I use it because of the money that is going with it..

Last month Starbucks celebrated the birthday of the frappuccino, and as a special they were selling a 'Birthday Cake' flavour drink. Of course, this was only available in the USA because in the UK were are so limited on the options we have available. But the StarbucksUK twitter said that you can still order it as a custom order, the only difference is that you don't get the raspberry cream. If you are interested in this delicious drink ask for a vanilla frappuccio with a shot of almond syrup!

This months favourite TV Show has to be Baby Daddy, it is amazing and about Ben who is a typical bachelor until he finds he has a daughter and then has to adjust to being a parent with the help of his mum and all of his friends. You watch one and you will be instantly hooked!

Another favourite has been 2 Broke Girls, something that I have been watching a long time but more recently the girls are really starting to grow their business and it's such a real life story through TV. 

What TV shows have you been loving lately?

Top 14 of 2014 ... Beauty

Aloha! This is going to sound really cliché but i really cannot believe that 2014 has come and gone so quickly it feels like yesterday I was writing my 2013 Favourites. Since last January so much has changed in my life, and all for the good too - I also have changed my beauty ways and become a lot more aware of the things I use, what I like and what suits me personally no matter the hype around it. I decided to narrow it down to my Top 14 products to go with the year that has just finished. 

September Favourites|Beauty+Random

The end of a month and the start of another one can only mean one thing, its monthly favourites time! 

Bourjois Rouge in Nude-ist// I promise that this month will be the last time I talk about these, but I seriously can't get enough since having bought them I have used one of the  four colours I own everyday and they have lasted all day and night.

Natural Collection Blush// Slowly and steadily I am getting into wearing blush on my face, and this one from NC is such a pretty and subtle colour that I don't feel concious wearing it because of the light colour. 

Sleek Oh So Special! // This palette and in particular the pink shade you can see in the far right hand corner has been an amazing everyday colour on its own it looks lovely but also with other colours paired together. The thing about pink shadows is that they can sometimes look too Barbie like but this palette doesn't do that and makes it look nice.

Revlon in Coral Surf// Autumn is here I know, but this bright blue colour is still acceptable right? I bought this from poundland and I have fallen in love with, the formula is amazing and the colour is so bright and beautiful I can't tell you more!

Stormflower//I just knew that as soon as I purchased this, I would fall in love with straight away and even though I save it only for special occasions when I do wear this though the scent lasts on me all day and everyone compliments me on how sweet and floral smelling it is.

Primark Hair Bobble// I bought this a while back from Primark and it looks great when you wear your hair as a high bun and then placing this over makes it look way more neater and prettier. They are so many colours that this comes in and is slightly less eye catching then the big headbands are.

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off// I understand that many people aren't fond of Swift or even her new song but I am in love with and haven't stopped playing it everyday. I think the video and lyrics are the things that are making me listen to it more and more. 

I don't usually talk about food but trust me I love it, and recently my go to snack that is very unhealthy are these cute little nutella pots. These yummy pots are so addictive and great when you're peckish or even on the 'go'.

Another thing I have been loving to drink in the summer and now in the Autumn is this Raspberry Lemonade, even though its very and I mean very expensive it is the nicest thing ever and I have just discovered that they sell cans of the drink as well! I really want to try out the other flavours from this company too.


Finally. the highlight of my weekends these past months has been that the Xfactor has returned to our screen and being a fan of Cheryl I just had to watch it but i think this years panel is amazing and they all bring something different to the table and I can't wait to see where it goes!

GUEST POST| Jen's Favourite Tea's

Hi lovely Class & Glitter readers! I'm Jen from jenniewren3 and I'm here to write a post for Parie about...tea! Being British, tea is stereotypically liked by everybody in Great Britain however that is not the case because (shockingly) some people don't like tea! 

I, on the other hand, love it. I can not survive a day without at least one so I thought I'd put together a little post about all my favourite types! 

Yorkshire Tea (no picture as I drank it all -sorry!)

This tea is your standard "builders brew". I swapped to Yorkshire tea after I really was not enjoying Typhoo and it was a great choice to swap to! It's such a standard drink but it's a great way to wake up in the morning and a good pick-me-up in the afternoon. 

Twinings Earl Gray

At the moment this is my all time favourite. I used to drink Earl Gray a lot when my mum lived with us as it was always in the house but then we suddenly stopped having it. After having a cup of the Graze Box Afternoon Infusion Tea which has Earl Gray and Assam leaves in it I decided to buy a box of Earl Gray. It's such a refreshing drink to have! A lot of people have it with no milk but I have it just like my standard brew (judge me)! I would strongly suggest only getting Twinings and not the Clippers ones or cheaper makes as the taste is different. Twinings is quite pricey but definitely worth it! 

Twinings Peppermint Tea

Although this tea isn't something I go to at the minute, it definitely was when I was on my "health kick". Peppermint tea is really good for you! I've found that when I have indigestion, a cup of this is really great for your insides. 

So, what are your favourite teas? I'd love to know! 

Lots of Love

Jen xo

June Favourites

Primark Oil Control Wipes// I seem to always go back to Primark wipes because they seem to do the job perfectly, these oil balancing ones are amazing and the other ones I love are the exfoliating ones. Every time you got to Primark and go to the till make sure you check out their wipes there is a whole selection and for £1 who can go wrong!

Victoria Secrets Strawberries & Champagne Mist // Summer fragrance right her ladies and gents. This is such a sweet and summery scent that you don't get sick of smelling it. The name is also very appropriate for this time of year and VS mists feel so luxury on you.

Revlon Lacquer Balm in Vivacious // Spoken about these Revlon balms a lot on here, so I am going to keep it short and sweet. Wearing a bright pink lip with bronzed skin and neutral eyes will look amazing in the summer sunshine and this one from Revlon is the perfect pink and the formula is very glossy.

Benefit Porefressional Primer// I got this sample in Elle magazine and haven't stopped using it. Why? Well because along with my moisturiser it works wonder in keeping my makeup on my face all day and I know that its on my face without looking in the mirror constantly. 

Rimmel Salon Pro in Hip Hop// A summer staple for me has always been a coral/red nail polish colour because it looks great with anything as well as being one of those polishes that can be worn on fingers and toes. The formula of these Salon Pro things are amazing and worth the rave. 

Rimmel Breakfast in Bed// To say I wasn't really a Rimmel girl, lately I have been hooked on buying things from them and this is another nail polish that started it all off. After seeing several people posting it on instagram, I had to try it for myself I am so glad the colour is the perfect minty blue for the summer and with one coat you are good to go. 

Macaroons by Lulu// I picked these up in Manchester and have been eating them slowly every week, I bought a few and these are my final ones and I am saving them.

The Edit| Summer Drugstore

Summer is officially here! Woooo. Here is the guest post I did on Jenny's blog! To mean it means only one thing, getting rid of all the dark makeup and bringing out the bright colours, summer is all about the lighter bases and for me that pop of colour on the lips and nails. Today I am going to talk you through my favourites for this season from the drug store/boots/superdrug. I found it very difficult to narrow down to just a few products..but I seem to have managed. 

The Face

Simple Illuminating Cream // Since owning this, I haven't stopped using it. I love to use it under any type of bb cream and foundation. It gives that dewy kind of look yet doesn't look overdone and too much.

Collection Bronze Glow // I am not the biggest fan of bronzers but something about something about this is amazing. I don't swirl the brush around the whole thing, instead just the corners?! And apply a little bit.

Sleek Rose Gold Blush // Again blusher is something I am slowly getting into, and this is really what also started the rose gold obsession. Amazing everyday blush to quickly apply and rush out the door.

The Lips

 

Revlon Vivacious Balm // I've actually worn this through winter as well, but for summer this is perfect. It is fairly sheer and can be built up for it to be like wow in your face.

MUA Kiss & Tell // This is more of a gloss and very heavy duty but lasts all day on your lips, similar to the rimmel lip lacquers. You can see in the swatch above that this is a deep pink. 

Revlon Sweet Tart Lip Butter //  If you're not daring and want to keep it natural then this and any of the lip butters are perfect for you because they are sheer and moisturising. 

Maybelline Baby Lips // I bought this in the pound shop the other day and they are the original baby lips and for a £1 you can't go wrong.

The Nails

The hardest of them all. I could have shown you about 20 different colours and brands ect but I have some how managed to narrow it down to only three!! Yes three.

Rimmel Hip Hop // Ahh, the formula of these are amazing and I really want to try more. I seem to be really liking rimmel at the moment..no idea why! This beautiful coral/red colour is that perfect toe nails colour to show through your sandals.

Rimmel Breakfast in Bed // A new one to the collection and currently on both my fingers and toes (very chipped ) but a beautiful colour so it can stay on for as long as it likes. When I heard HelloOctober/ Susie rave about it I knew I had to get my hands on asap and boy I am glad I did.

Essie Bikini So Teeny // A oldie but a goodie. Essie is just amazing and I think that everyone should have this shade in their collection as it suits everyone and the formula and brush is amazing.

February Favourites|| 2014

Its time for the favourites of this month! I will be doing these posts every month, as I find that I will have much more to talk about instead of doing them every month, but the months I won't be doing them there will be something in there place I promise! This month I have been loving a whole load of things and can't wait to share them with you :) 

Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush - I have been the loving this brush loads lately, but I use it a the wrong way because I don't use it foundation! I actually really like to use it for concealer under my eye, it works really well with blending and is easier to use than other brushes as they are really soft. 

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray - I haven't technically had this for very long, but I have been using alot so I just needed to talk about it! This spray is amazing and dries my nails ever so quickly that when I have finished painting my nails - I am always wanting to go and do something so this spray makes it so much easier to do everything! 

Ted Baker Body Soufflé - Something I got in a gift set from Christmas that I have fallen in love with, recently I have been using this on my arms after moisturising as I have really dry skin and this just makes me smell really nice! 

Triangle Necklace - The problem with going to college for me is that I can't wear any long necklaces because of my ID badge so instead I wanted to find a short statement one that will sit nicely with everything else that I have. And this one from Store Twenty One was reduced in the sale to £2 and therefore I couldn't resist from buying it! Ever since I have been wearing it with everything, especially with collared shirts and jumpers as it looks amazing. 

 Naked 3 - Who would have guessed that this would be in this post?! I freaking love this palette and all the colours in it, every time I have been going out or wanting to do some easy and simple eye makeup I have been going for the palette. The shades on the left hand side are the ones I have been using more than anything else as they are more neutral rose gold. 

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold -  This blush suits my skin tone so much, I love the way it looks so natural and gives my skin a natural glow. It also stays on my skin for a long time and works with any looks that I am going for, if you know me then you will know that I am not the biggest fan of blush but something about this one just makes me fall in love! 

Soap&Glory Thick and Fast - Another product I have been reaching for lately is this soap and glory mascara! I love wearing mascara on my eyes that give me volume and thicken them up to really enhance my eyes and these make my lashes look so big and amazing.  

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie - I love the Revlon lip butter range, and one of my current favourites is 'Berry Smoothie' the colour pay off is amazing on my lips and it is really natural so goes well with anything and great to put on in the morning  and then it lasts all day. 

NYC Foundation - There is just something about this foundation that I have been loving, at first I really didn't like it but it turns out that I just wasn't using it the right way?! I was applying it with my hands and blending it with my fingers - but now I use it with a stippling/blending brush and use two layers both even to build up the coverage. 

Rimmel Salon Pro in Hip Hop - Ahh I have fallen in love with the Salon Pro range that Rimmel have got. I have only got Hip Hop but I love the other shades in the range as well which will be a cheeky purchase soon. The formula of this polish is really weird because it is very watery (well i think it is) but then on your nails it is very pigmented, thick and only needs one coat! 

Sally Hansen Nail Growth Serum - This nail serum is no stranger to this blog, I have been recently using this to help with the condition of my nails not only is it helping with the growing of the nails but also with the cuticle area which always gets really dry.

Wow..that was a lot! I need a cup of tea...hope you enjoyed this post and look out for a random favourites type post very soon! 

Blogmas Day 8 || November Favourites ♥

Another month has come and gone already and its that time again where I share with you my favourites from the past month. November, has been a time for me to enjoy the products to the fullest and lets jump straight in.

First up is skincare/body ect. in the back you can see a Victoria Secret spray in 'Coconut Passion' that smells just like summer. A very sweet scent for this time of year, but I love it lots and haven't stopped spraying it since the day I bought it. The other thing that I have fallen madly in love for it The Soap & Glory 'Scrub Em or Leave Em' this is a lifesaver in the winter and I love using it in the shower as it smells divine and does an amazing job as removing dry skin. 

Next up, I have using this little sample of Bioderma that I got in a Birchbox. I thought I would love this for my face but instead I have using it for my eye make up. Not only is it great at removing it all, but I love using a cotton bud dipped in it to neaten up my eye shadow. The littlest bit goes such a long way and it is so intense that it cleans it up and gets the job done. Finally, I have this little pot of hand lotion that I got as a sample from Lush. I keep it near by bed, so at night I can moisturise my hands and I wake up with silky, soft hands. 

Now for the more beauty favourites. I have wearing this MUA Matte Lipstick in 'Wild Cherry' nearly everyday. I don't know whether it is the matte finish that I am liking the best or the beautiful pink colour that it puts on my lips. I just love. And the nail polish I have been lusting over this month is 'Blackberry' from BarryM which is just a blue from another planet. On top of the two is sat my ring I bought from Primark, I wear it everyday and get told that it looks like a Pandora one. 

August Favourites ♥

It is that time again, and to be honest it doesn't feel that long ago since I wrote my July favourites and now my august favourites - this is just crazy. This month has bought me to the end of my long school holiday and September brings me a new school, a new start and a new me! Here is what I have been loving this past month just gone...

This month I have loved these little compressed deodorant bottles that you can now buy, these smaller bottle make carrying spray around in small hang bags much easier. I even managed to squeeze it in to clutch bag. The hot weather is lovely, and I would love to have it more often - however I do prefer to stay cool and not sweaty/sticky all the time. So carrying these little bottles of wisdom around is the best. 

My skin this month has been really good, I seem to have everything (break outs wise) under control and I can mainly thank, this little wonder here. This is the Witch Blemish Stick, you pop the lid off  push it up like a ice lolly and you have this gel like stick that is for blemishes. You just put this on the affected area whenever you can for a constant week or so and you see results instantly - well I did! The smell is funny, however the smell doesn't affect the product and doesn't make your skin irritate either and I have very sensitive skin. 

Summer is the best time to let your skin really breathe, I hate people who slap on layers of heavy duty make up because it is just going to melt away and leave you with nothing/ very minimal stuff on your skin. My go to product that been the Dream Matte Mousse from Maybelline, I usually only get this out in winter time..but this year summer has called for it! As it is so light and foamy you can apply one even layer on your skin and it gives you the coverage you mainly need for a sunny day. 

I am no make up expert, but I do like to try and go a little crazy from time to time and this trio eye-shadow set from Collection (2000) in Silver Storm has my begging for more. With these three simple and very pigmented shades you can create that very easy smokey eye without it looking dreadful and as though you have no idea what you're doing. The shades are great on there own and with other more bold/bright colours as well - as long as you blend it all well.

This next little beauty is something I carry around now in my handbag because of the colour and the easy application. This is a  Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in the shade Peony. Which is by far the best nude/pinky toned with a shimmer lip gloss I have ever owned, not only because it lasts on your lips for ages! But, it also has the perfect sized brush for my awkward shaped lips that hate having a brush on them. 

And the last beauty product is a nail polish - as per. This is from the summer issue of BLISS Magazine that I bought whilst being away and it has got me to fall in love with it. The colour is indescribable and looks very pretty on your nails - that you just want to stare at it constantly! This peachy/orangey coral nail polish is that perfect colour for dark/tanned/olive toned skin in the summer because it just contrasts with your skin perfectly. It does take a few coats to get the colour, and doesn't however stay on your nails for very long before it starts to chip. 

The only random favourite I really do every month is my music choice, which I will still be doing..but I thought I would include some more because I like to change it up every once in a while. 

Above you can see a nearly finished packet of the new Extra white chewing gum in a bubblegum flavour. This is such an amazing chewing/bubble gum! It tastes amazing when you first bite into it and it tastes just like juicy fruit or hubba bubba (childhood cravings!) and it also leaves your breathe smelling minty fresh yet it doesn't taste minty. Weird? 

For anyone who doesn't know me... I love my coffee! Whether it is hot, cold or even mixed, I just love buying it from Costa and Starbucks. When we went to Scotland; I popped into good old Starbucks and saw that they had these 'Refreshers' now available. I love trying new drinks and was very interested into what this would taste like! So I went ahead and bought the 'Valencia Orange' refresher and you guys..I cannot explain how yummy it was to drink! It was quite sour but enough to bare with and it just makes you feel very wake and energetic! 

My favourite song, with out a single doubt this month has been 'Best Song Ever' by One Direction. Now, I am not here to argue - I really don't care if people hate them or love them I really like there music and have a slight crush on them all! This song is so catchy and since I heard for the first time I fell in love and haven't stopped listening to it at all!

So that is my favourites for this month, hope you enjoyed :)
