November Favourites



Hey everyone,

November ended in the past week and you know what that means. It's November favourites time! I have quite a few things that I have been enjoying this past month and I am excited to show you them!

I have enjoyed using the Stefan Lipstick in Dusty this month. It is a lipgloss-like lipstick in a really pretty dusty rose colour. I wore this to my semi formal and it stayed on for most of the night (although it did come off on every drink I had). It is really easy to apply and it goes with everything I wear.



Makeup wise, I have also really loved the Maybelline Brow Drama. It gives just the right amount of pigment and holds my brows down all day. I watched a tutorial of it online and learned that you have to brush through your brows towards the centre of your face before you brush them into shape. This technique works great to give definition and hold on the brows.



This month I have used a body spray that smells absolutely ah-mazing. It is the Guilty Pleasure body spray from Colette by Colette Hayman. It IS my guilty pleasure and I think it is the perfect scent for summer. It is light, sweet and pretty and I always feel great when I wear it. It may look like I have barely used it, but I have actually used it almost every day in November.



My final favourite this month is a colour from my Designer Brands palette. It is the fourth shade from the right, which is a champagne-y pink, shimmery, beautiful colour. I love this shadow for everyday wear. I use this shade if I'm going out to the shops or meeting up with friends. I also use it as a base for other colours. I really really love this colour. Also, the mirror on the palette is incredible (it takes up the entire lid bit).



Do you agree with my favourites this month? What have you been loving this month?

Christmas List 2015 | Random

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the final installment to my Christmas list! This one is for all the things that couldn't really be put into a category as they would be by themselves. It includes books and video games (and since this is a beauty blog I don't think you would want a whole post devoted to video games, so yeah).

The first things on my "random" list are books. I would really like Girl Online: On Tour by Zoe Sugg and The Amazing Book is Not on Fire by Phil Lester and Dan Howell. I love all of these YouTubers and I have read Zoe's first book and loved it. I am really excited to read them both! Another book I would like is an adult colouring book. I have no preference, but I really enjoyed colouring in when I was little, so I am sure I will enjoy it now!

Here comes the video game! I would really like The Sims 4: Get Together expansion pack. I have the other expansion pack from the Sims 4, but apparently this one isn't as needed by the Simmers community. I still want it though because I don't want to miss out on any of the features in it!

I would also really like a 3 year diary. You know, the ones where you write a word or a sentence each day and you can see what you did that day the year before. I really like the idea of this and I want the one from Typo.

The final things I want for Christmas are candles of the Yankee variety. The scents I would like are Red Raspberry ( I think it smells like red cordial), Lavender Vanilla ( I think this would be very relaxing) and Red Velvet (I really like red velvet cake and this smells just like them).

That is all that I want for Christmas this year. Thank you for joining me on this Christmas list series.

What do you think of my entire list? Have you any recommendations for me?

Christmas List 2015 | Hair and Body

Hi everyone!

Who's up for round two? Here is the second installment of my Christmas list posts. This one is all about the hair and body things that I would like for Christmas. So let's get straight into it!

First up is body things and I will start of with the Snow Fairy shower gel from Lush. I absolutely love this shower gel. It smells great, looks great and feels great to use. The fragrance it gives off is intense, but I can't get enough of it.

Please ignore the pink fun in the box. I couldn't crop it small enough (yes I took this from last year's Boxing Day Haul, don't judge me)

Also from Lush, I would like the So White bath bomb. I really love this bath bomb. I smelled it in the shops last year but I didn't buy it (I didn't have my money on me), however, this smelled just like apples. Fresh apples. I am so bummed that they removed the shower gel from the Christmas range this year, but at least I can still get the bath bomb.

Another bath bomb and also from Lush that I would like is the Stardust bath bomb. I saw this on their website and thought 'Well isn't that the most cute bath bomb you ever did see?' When I clicked on it, it said that it has a vanilla scent and I was all like "IT'S MEANT TO BE!" Anyway, so now I have to have it.

It's the last Lush bath bomb, I promise! It's the Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb. First of all, look at it. It's so pretty and cool and it has holly on it. The website says it smells like lavender, which is a nice, calming scent to have before bed or as a special treat of the relaxing variety.

And so ends the Lush craze. Now on with Soap and Glory! I would like the Sugar Crush boday buttercream (I accidentally wrote "boday" but I kind of like it). I want this for multiple reasons (1) I really like the Sugar Crush scent, (2) I'm not good at moisturising after showers so this would be good for me and (3) I find Soap and Glory to have really good quality products, so I expect this one won't disappoint!

Now on to The Body Shop. The only thing I would like from The Body Shop is the Strawberry Beauty Bag. This includes the Strawberry hand cream, the Strawberry body wash and the Strawberry body butter. It also comes with a loofah and the bag it comes in (duh!). I really liked the Strawberry hand cream that I got for my 14th birthday and I imagine all the Strawberry products would have the same amazing scent.

The last two things this week are hair things and they are both from John Frieda. They are the Sheer Blonde Lightening Shampoo and Conditioner. I am losing my blonde-ness and would like to get it back, and this would be a great start!

So that is it for this week. I hope you enjoyed it!

What do you think of my entire list so far? What hair and body things do you want for Christmas?
