September Favourites

Hello lovelies,

I know its been nearly two weeks since I posted something but I'll be writing two posts today and posting them at different times.
I know I'm a bit late with my september favourites but here it is..



There's not much things that I enjoyed using or doing as most of the time I was writing essays.
Starting with beauty favourites something I've been enjoying since summer is the Fit Me foundation by maybelline on the shade 120 classic ivory. As this foundation is very light light on your skin and makes you feel like you're hardly wearing anything.



Another I've used a lot this month is the famous Fit Me concealer by Maybelline in the shade 15. As every blogger/ beauty vlogger has been talking a bout this concealer since Maybelline announced it i got it as you saw on my mini haul  post. It's exactly like the foundation light but very good coverage (well if you're going for a very natural look).


Moving on from face beauty products to lashes. If you have been with me since I started my blog you would know that I LOVE the Rimmel The Scandaleyes mascara (the orange with black sell line packaging) but I've been feeling like that one was too much for my eyes as I used nearly everyday, when I would get home I would look in the mirror and it looked like a had a black eye as the mascara smudged and had me question myself if I looked like that the whole day so I gave the Scandaleyes show off mascara also by Rimmel. The difference between them is that the brushes are designed differently. Don't get me wrong I still love the Scandaleyes mascara but for a day-to-day basis I would rather use the Scandaleyes Show Off mascara because as the brush is smaller and curvier not much product goes to you lashes again giving you a more natural look.


Moving on to Lips care. This past month I've been loving the Baby Lips Hydrate Lip balm (moisturiser). It literally does what it says on the packaging, it leaves your lips more hydrated and soft and more heathy looking. As I forgot to get a picture of just the Candle I'm just going to mention it here xD. This Candle is literally heaven leaves nearly the whole house smelling like Very Cherry Jelly Belly.


Now for my fashion favourite this month was definitely My new leopard neon print scarf from Primark, you can see more about it in my mini haul post.

And Finally for my book favourite this month it has to be the only book I had time to read, even hough I only read a few pages I have a feeling that I'm going to love it.


So this is it for this month's favourite. So how about you? Have you tried and loved any of the things OI mentioned? Or better what have you been loving through out the past month?

Much Love,

Mini Primark & Superdrug Haul

Hello lovelies,

Last week Sunday I went out to get some shopping done because I needed some new cheap clothes(xD) and I wanted to try a new concealer out.



First I went to Primark. I saw loads of things in New Look before i went to Primark and i did not see much difference in with the styles of clothing that were out and the quality of the clothes looked similar so i thought it would be easier to get what i want in Primark as it would be way cheaper there.

I went in there with only one thing in my mind! FIND A HOODIE!
So I went straight to the part where they have hoodies and joggers and coats. They did not have a black hoodie as I wanted I got a nice purple hoodie and I tried to get a little bit bigger than me so it looks baggy and feels comfortable.
I got this one for £8.00 (in new look the same hoodie was about £12/14)


Near the hoodies and coats there were the hair section and I was in a serious need of hairbands, so I went there and when I saw all the options of colours for hair band I totally lost it so I end up getting the black simple ones and this pink&blue&purple ones!



Then I went T-shirt hunting haha I found two cute shirts one is a plain grey one is a little bit see through but looks amazing with a white or black bra and the other one is a white one with a beautiful LA stamp that says dreaming of life in LA.
Grey shirt was £4 and the LA one was £3.



Then I fell in love with this gorgeous neon leopard print scarf which I did not think twice about buying it. It was £4

Thats all I got in primark! Off to super drug I got myself the Fit me Concealer as I heard very good things about it on youtube and from other bloggers, so I thought I would give it a try.


And last but not least I got two Baby Lips lip balms from Maybelline. I got the blue and pink packaging   one which says its for Hydration which so far is my favourite from the ones I got because it actually does makes my lips feel more hydrated but not for a long time though. The other one I got was the yellow and orange packaging one which says is for Intense Care, I'm not a big fan of this one because it did not make my lips feel like it was being intensely cared (if that makes any sense) it actually made my lips feel a bit dry. 
Each one was £2.99 but it was on sale as 2 for £5 when I got it.


Have you tried any of the Baby lips lip balms? what are your opinions on it and what about the Fit Me concealer, did it work for you/ did you like it?
Let me know in the comments.

Much Love,

March Favourites

Helloo!

As i just created this blog and march just came to an end.. I thought I should share my march favourites with you guys! (:



#1
 The first beauty product I've been loving this month is the Rimmel London Stay Matte powder in the shade of 001 Transparent.
I got this from Superdrug for £3.99 and it does as it says. It stays up to 5 or more hours and keeps the natural shine and as I still go to school (meaning 7/8 hours without having the time to go check if your make up is still decent xD) this powder is really useful because it helps your make up last for a long time.
I really recommend it!



#2
 The second beauty product I've been loving this month is the NYC all day long foundation in the shade of 745 Soft Honey.
I also got this in Superdrug for £3.99 and it says it lasts up to 14 hours. Well as I said I spend a long period of time without checking how my make up looks through out the day but when I get home and check my make up is perfectly intact as it was in the morning, I don't know if it's because of the foundation or the powder but I'll soon do a review on both my Stay Matte powder and this NYC all day long foundation and I'll get back to you guys about it. It also has a really good coverage.
I really recommend it!



 (Sorry for the bad pictures my camera was without battery so i took it with my phone)

                                                                                #3
The third beauty product I've been loving this month, well not just this month but this has been my  favourite concealer for about a year or so but yeah, it's the Rimmel London Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer & Highlighter in the shade of 030 Classic Beige.
I also got this at Superdrug for £2.99 at the time it was in sale but now it's around £5.99 a bit expensive compared to my other products but it has a really good coverage compared to other concealers I've tried.
I really recommend it!



#4
The forth beauty product l've been liking this month is the NYC smooth skin perfecting primmer in the shade of 684.
I also got this from Superdrug for £3.49 it was really cheap and it leaves your skin soft and ready for the foundation. The only downside of this primer is that it contains glitter in it, but after you put your foundation on it doesn't show the glitter from the primmer.


#5
The fifth beauty product I've been loving this month well not just this month but this has been my  favourite lip moisturiser for a few years now, is the Vaseline Rose lips. 
I got this at Boots for £1.99 and i have no other words apart from this product is AMAZING! I use it everyday as a lip gloss or a lip moisturiser and it always leave my lips looking healthy, softer and moisturised.
I really recommend it!
(Sorry the tin is so smashed/scratched up it's because I cary it everywhere)

#6
The sixth and last beauty product I've been loving this month is actually two Modelsown Powder brush and Blending brush.
I got this at Boots as well but a long time ago it was about £4.99 but they don't sell it anymore so yeah.


Hair:

The only hair product I've been loving this month is the VO5 Mega Hold Weather Resistance Styling Mousse.
I got it at Superdrug for £2.99 and it says it holds up for 24 hours however it doesn't but holds up a real good 12 hours in my experience.
  I really recommend it!



Skincare :

This the only skincare product I've been loving this month is the Clearasil Deep Cleaning Wipes.
I got it at Superdrug for £3.99 and as I've a really sensitive and very acne skin these wipes has been my life savers!
They leave my skin clean and I've been getting less acne after i started using it.
 I really recommend it!
