The Best of March

Hello, me again! Today I thought I'd share some of my favourite beauty products and random musings from the month of March. This month I seem to have rediscovered some old faves in terms of beauty products and have fallen in love with a TV show or two...

 

The Bourjois Colour Boosts were a big hit last summer with blogger after blogger talking about them, and although there have been many new releases since then, these two in Peach on the Beach and Red Sunrise (currently reduced on The Hut) are perfect for Spring. Another old favourite of mine is the Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara which is perfect for a 'no makeup' makeup look.

 

The Topshop Cream Blush in Flush is an everyday staple of mine and it's glowy finish is perfect for Spring. I like to use the Real Techniques Stippling Brush to apply this so that I don't look like I've just been for a run! Another Real Techniques favourite of mine is the Buffing Brush which works like a dream with liquid foundation.

 

Moving on to some random favourites, it's Mini Egg season which delights me no end! Sherlock will be mentioned is as many blog posts as possible (that is deemed sane) and although I've talked about it quite a few times this year I thought another little mention couldn't do any harm. I've also been watching the Vampire Diaries for the past few months and have one thing to say to you all. Damon Salvatore.

 

What bits and bobs have you been loving this March?

The Best of January || Beauty & Random Favourites

 

I feel like I haven't given my YouTube channel a proper introduction on the ol' blog and have just left one or two videos floating on the side bar. Easy to miss. So I thought that instead of scribbling down the ins and outs of my loves this month, I would babble away to a camera. Items beginning with B seem to have been what's got me ticking this January, with special mentions to Bobbi Brown, Bourjois Colour Boosts, Birthdays and Benedict Cumberbatch. The lighting isn't perfect and some of my other videos have been better, but anyway, here's my January Favourites.

The Best of August || Beauty

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Sorry for being absent from the blogging world for the past few days but I'm currently away on holiday and like the ever organised blogger I am, didn't prepare any posts in advance! As I haven't done a beauty favourites post in a few months, I thought I'd share with you some products that have been helping me survive the summer heat and have been general faves throughout the month of August!
 

First up we have Benefit's Porefessional which is a bit of a cheat seeing as I only bought it half way through the month but this beauty wasn't waiting until September! This is a product I've been lusting after since I received a sample back in November and it seriously hasn't let me down! This leaves a gorgeous, silky service to apply makeup onto and my usually large pores are next to unnoticeable!

 

 

Another product I've been loving throughout the month of August is the Kerastase K Lift Vertige* (full review) which has been an absolute lifesaver for my usually awful hair. As someone who quite frankly lives for a topknot, wearing my hair down is something of an occasion. I find my hair to have little volume or oomph when left to its own devices, but with a pump of this massaged into the roots before blow-drying, you can call me Beyoncé! (Slight exaggeration, but you get the gist).

 

Fluorescent. Orange. The only two words capable of describing Model's Own Beach Party Nail Varnish (full review). This matt, long wearing polish has been perfect for the summer months and Model's Own is definitely a brand I'll be buying from again.

 

 

'It wouldn't be summer without a salt spray' is a club I recently joined when trying out Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray* (full review). This again gives my hair some much needed volume and has been an absolute essential!

 

Moving swiftly on to none other than the Soap and Glory Righteous Butter. On my quest to try every single product S&G has to offer, I seem to have neglected the old favourites. This scent will never get old and the moisture benefits are far beyond any other moisturiser I've tried. My heart lies with Soap and Glory, till death do us part!

 

Finally on to some makeup picks for the month (primer and polish don't count). Natural Collection's Blushed Cheeks in Peach Melba is a bit of a cult product in the blogging world and it's easy to know why. £1.99 is by far the cheapest blusher I own and the pigmentation definitely packs a punch! Topshop's Lip Tint in Jewel has also been a fave. Yes it looks like some weird orange jelly but it actually transpires as a pH reactive pink-y, sheer colour! The wearability isn't fantastic but the product feels comfortable, like a balm, on the lips and isn't something I would hesitate to recommend!

 

What are your August favourites?

The Best of June || Random

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! June was a slightly tiresome month with lots of exams but there was also lots of fun in between and today I thought I'd tell you what I've been loving through June.

This month I've really been loving Company Magazine! When I was redecorating my wall collage I dug some old iussues out and was having a good old read through.

I have also had Haim's song Forvever on repeat whilst writing new blog posts.

I also discovered Foxes after reference from Company magazine and I have fallen in love with her music. At the moment I'm loving Echo.

I only found this blog at the beginning of the month and I absolutely love it! Libby's posts are so original and creative and never fail to make me laugh! My all time favourite post is, 'I keep having Dreams of Pioneers and Pirate Ships and Bob Dylan.' And whilst you're there I recommend checking out her 'About' page- It's one of the best I've ever read!

 

 

As always I've been loving chocolate and Sherlock Holmes, but we don't need a new picture of that every month!

 

Au revoir mes amies

The Best of May || Beauty

I hope your having a nice day and getting back into the swing of things after an extra long weekend. Part two of the favourites (you can read part one here) is about all things beauty related. There have been many great items that I have been loving this month however I managed to get it down to just 5 products. Hope you enjoy!

If you read a NOTD I did earlier this month, you would recognise this next polish. Pillar Box is a gorgeous red, suitable for any occasion!

This mascara from Benefit has become my new favourite. Oh how have we only just met they're real...

E45 intense recovery lotion is great on really dry skin. I have been loving smothering it on my elbows and knees.

Brace yourselves Ladies and Gentlemen but I think I've found my perfect nude. Fleshpot by MAC is so gorgeous and glides on like a dream. If your near a MAC store, I would suggest going and giving this a little swatch, so that you too can swoon at it in all its glory.

I saw GlowJob  reviewed on Zoella's blog a while back and thought it looked really good. I liked the idea of the bronzing beads and the natural glow she claimed it gave.

The best of May || Random

Gosh, nearly June already. I know I said it last month but this year is really flying past. It feels as if it was the new year only yesterday! This month, I have decided to split my favourites up so that the post wouldn't be too long and I can share some more personal items with you.

Dress
I picked this up a while ago in the Oxford Street Topshop. It's not something I would usually go for, so I am surprised that I've got so much wear out of it. There's just something about it that reminds me of being a seven year old girl, wearing a summer dress.

Song
Since Thriftshop, I have fallen totally and utterly in love with Macklemore's music. Even though this song is from years ago, I've been loving it all month. It's not often that a song will make me cry over and over again. Same Love.

Book
If you read My Bedroom Tour, you would have seen this book on my bedside table. It's my second time of reading it. Perhaps a review soon...

Blogger
This blog is so different and creative and I love reading a new post when it comes into my blog feed. I definitely recommend you go and check her out. Link Blog.

Youtuber
If you love to watch youtube videos then you've got to check these girls out. Their style is impeccable. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you Whimsical paste.
