September Favourites


Hello everyone :)
It's time for another favourites today and I'm so excited that it's now Winter!
I can't wait to get out all my jumpers and coats!
I've actually already bought 2 coats already (whoops!)
One of them is actually one of my favourites this month!
Hope you Enjoy!



I really wanted to try out the Macadamia Oil brand as I've heard so many good things about them, but didn't
want to commit to the big bottles as they can be quite expensive. I thought getting this little travel kit
would be best to try out a bunch of their products. I've used up the shampoo and conditioner already
and am definitely buying the full size bottles! It leaves your hair feeling truly nourished and in great
condition My favourite is the hair oil. It smells incredible! It doesn't make it greasy at all and lasts ages.
My other favourite is the hair mask. It recommends you only use it once a week as it's quite intense.
They are very pricey but I found them on Amazon for much cheaper! So definitely have a look on there!

I love my Urban Decay Naked Palette's but if you are on a budget I definitely recommend the palette's from
Makeup Revolution. They range from about £4-£8 and the colours are amazing. There's so many different
palette's and colours to choose from as well. The pigmintation in these palette's are great. For £4, I honestly
didn't expect much from it. But was happily surprised to find out how good these palette's really are.

Seeing as my hair colour is now dark, I wanted to tint my eyebrows darker also. For the days I want to just not
wear make-up my eyebrows look a bit better when they are a darker. this kit is perfect for doing just that. I did
my research before hand and found that this was the best selling at home kit. It was around £7.50 and says
it lasts up to 6 weeks each time you do it and I still have loads of product left so definitely a great investment!
Really easy to do as well!

I really am loving this cleansing lotion. I usually put it on a cotton pad and swipe it all over my face just after
I've cleansed morning and night. I don;t have terrible acne but I do get spots and more so when I'm stressed.
I feel like this has helped calm my skin and stop so many spots popping up when I'm stressed.

I'm really impressed with this little make-up brush. Only £3 from Wilko! It's a great little brush to use for
smudging out my shadow. They have a whole range of brushed and after using this I definitely would like to
try out more from the range. If you can't afford MAC brushes then they have a great little collection of brushes
and you can't really go wrong with these sorts of prices!

I am sooo in love with my new jacket. I've wanted one of these styles of jackets for so long but could never
find one at an affordable price. This one I got from Missguided for £42ish. It's originally £50 but I got a 15%
discount. They always have discounts and promotions going on which is always really helpful! It's so cosy
and warm and goes with almost anything. The only annoying thing is that the fleece bit inside does leaves
lots of bits on anything you wear so I  try not to wear black underneath. It'll go after a few uses of wearing it though!

August Favourites


Hey guys!
I can't believe we're going to be in September next week. Although I'm kind of glad as I quite I'm
looking forward to Autumn and Winter (not the rain though!)
Anyway, here's all the products I've been loving through the month of August.
Enjoy!





I found this Journal in TK Maxx. I can't find it anywhere online but I've linked where it's originally from, they
have some similar stuff on their website. I just really liked this and thought it would be a great note book to
write all my blogging stuff in. Also I just love the inspirational words on the front of it. It's a nice little reminder
whenever I write in it.

I did a review on this foundation in my last post and if you read it, you'd know I really liked it. It's the only
foundation I've used this whole month as I really love it. So inexpensive and gives a great dewy finish.
Definitely recommend giving it a go!

So, my local Superdrug just added this new brand in store and I was pretty much like a kid in a candy store
when I first saw it. I just wanted to pick up everything and try just, especially as it's all so affordable!
I'm going back to try out more things and will probably be doing a few reviews on them soon. So far, everything
I've tried from here, I love! This palette was only £4! I decided to get the matte palette as I don;t wear many
bright colours on my eyes and I just wanted a simple palette of their to try out first. This palette is great for the
price you pay. The eye shadow isn't the best pigment ever, but it's still pretty damn good and if I put on an eye
primer then it'll stay all day but if not, it'll fade throughout the day. So as long as you use a primer this palette is
great. I'll be going back to get more!

I also did a review on this concealer in my recent post as well and I literally love this stuff. It's just a great under
 eye concealer. As you can see I've used it to death the past month. It's so creamy and glides on so smoothly. I
 apply it with my Real Techniques blending sponge and gives a flawless finish.

I've been trying out different skincare products recently and after using up all my regular Clean & Clear spot
 treatment gel I use, I bought this as I really like Soap & Glory's skincare range. I really like this spot treatment.
 It reduces the size of the spot quite a lot over night. It doesn't completely get rid of it but it makes it look a lot less noticeable.

I have only ever bought a few things from the Topshop make-up range and I always forget how much I like
 their products. These lip paints are so pigmented and aren't sticky at all. I really love this colour, it's so natural
 and it's definitely a 'your lips but better' colour! I always pop this on when I want to add a bit of colour.



I'm really falling in love with this brand of make-up and this lipstick is such a great idea. It's basically a normal
 lipstick but with Argan Oil on the outside of it. It give my lips so much hydration with a great colour. Plus, these
 lipstick are only £3! I mean, come on. That's just such a deal I cannot pass up!


Since driving, I annoyingly have to pay for parking pretty much anywhere I go and I like to be organised and
 prepared so I make sure I have tons of change all the time and having it all in my purse just makes it so heavy
 so I wanted to invest in a cute little coin purse that I could just stick in my handbag. I found this one in H&M
 and I really love it. It was £9.99, which I thought was pretty good! I can't find the exact one online so try looking
 in store for it. I have linked one that has a similar look to it though.
