March Favourites

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well. 

Today I'm doing my March favourites. I feel a bit behind as I way too busy to do a post on Sunday. I will

be doing an extra post this week to make up for it though! I tried out so many new things recently and still

have so much more I want to share with you but I wanted to keep it simple this month, otherwise it might

be a bit overwhelming with all the products I love! 

Enjoy!

Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry Vanilla Hairspray

I picked this up on a whim as it was 1/3 off. I hadn't heard much about it but I always wanted to try it,

especially because it said 'raspberry vanilla'! I really enjoy using it. My old one was very strong hold but made

my hair a bit sticky and knotted easily. This one holds my hair for quite a while but doesn't make my hair sticky

and is easily brushes out. It smells like iced gems to me personally. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks, but I

love that it smells like that. I

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

If you read my blog, you know this is my all time favourite concealer. I stopped using it because I ran out than

couldn't find it in stock for so long. When I finally got my hands on it I picked up 2 because I can never find

them! 

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer

I was going through my drawers and chucking out old make-up and came across this primer. I bought it ages

ago to review then never really used it much. I didn't think I needed a primer but turns out I do! It keeps my

make-up in place all day long and gives me a more flawless coverage! I got compliments that my skin looks

better after using this under my foundation.

Mavala Eye Lite Double Lash Night Treatment

I wanted to try out a night treatment for my lashes and eyebrows. This one says it's for your lashes, but it does

say you can use it for both. Funny thing is it only has made a difference to my eyebrows. I don't mind too much

as my brows don't look so sparse now, so I'm very happy about that! I put it on every night. I've been using it

about 2/3 weeks now and have definitely seen a difference in my eyebrows. I feel much more confident with

them now.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

If you are a regular reader then you also know this is my favourite spot treatment. It's the best one I've every

used. I actually just repurchased another one because I'm so obsessed with it!

The Body Book by Cameron Diaz

I'm trying to make myself more educated about my body, and what food I'm putting into my body and how to take

care of myself better. I really enjoy reading books like this, especially as I love Cameron Diaz. I just feel like I'm

learning new things everyday about how to better healthier and happier with my body and it's a great feeling. If

you want to lose weight or just becoming healthier in general then, this book is really insightful and a great read!

My Favourite Reads

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Recently I've been reading more books, mostly to do with health and beauty. I'm trying to be healthier inside

and out and these books I've been reading have helped me so much so, I wanted to share them with you. I also

love any books to do with make-up and I got the Bobbi Brown Beauty book for Christmas and have been

loving it.

The Body Book by Cameron Diaz

I heard so many great reviews of this book and have wanted it for so long. Not long ago I just bought it, as I'm so

sick of how little I know about food and nutrition and how it affects my body in the long run. In this book,

Cameron really teaches you what you should and shouldn't be eating/drinking/doing. It's not necessarily about

wanting to lose weight. For me personally, I want to feel healthier and my skin to look healthier. It also effects

your mood and other parts of your life. By changing your diet and adding in exercise really can change the way

you feel as well as the way you look. This book gives you knowledge which, ultimately gives you power.

Be Body Beautiful by Lucy Mecklenburgh

This book is similar to The Body Book. This one I just picked up on a whim when I saw it in Tesco. I hadn't heard

a thing about it. I knew this she was on TOWIE and now has her 'Results with Lucy' programme. I had a flip

through the book and saw that it teaches you a bit more in depth what food you should be eating. It teaches you

that you shouldn't diet or exercise every so often. You should be changing your diet completely and make

exercise part of your lifestyle, and once you do that you can become healthier and happier. This book has taught

me so much, and really recommend it for any woman out there wanting to lose weight or just be healthier and

have more energy and a better lifestyle.

Bobbi Brown Beauty

This is the ultimate beauty guide for all women. I'm going to be training to become a make-up artist so always

welcome tips and tricks. Especially when it comes to skincare. I'm obsessed with it and think its the perfect base for

all make-up. This book teaches you how to help women look beautiful from the inside out. It's not all about make-up,

but about being naturally beautiful.

Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual

This book is more to do with make-up and and how to perfect your skills. It teaches you how to master your

make-up skills from your skincare to getting the perfect brows. It's perfect for any woman of any skin tone with any

skin problem. It helps you pick out the best shades for your skin, and products for any skin problem including,

acne, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. If you love make-up or like me are going to studying make-up

then, this is such a great book to read for great tips and help you build new skills.

If you have any great reading books similar to please, I'd love to know!

Hope if anyone buys these books they love them as much as I do!

Christmas Wish List

Hello everyone!

So Christmas is in about 5 weeks.. eek! I'm already getting so excited, I've actually given my wish

list out to the family. I've also almost brought all my gifts already as I'm so organised! Plus I hate how

busy it gets nearer to Christmas. Anyway, here's a few things on my wish list this year..

Ugg Australia Fluff Flip Flop Slippers in Stone

I already own a pair of Ugg slippers and they are the most comfortable things ever! I wanted these ones

for a while. They look so cute and comfy!

Nike Free Run V2 Trainers

I've slowly started working out and I would like to start running/jogging too. I wanted some really good

but simple looking running shoes. These are pricey but hopefully that'll motivate me enough to run!

Thierry Mugler Alien Perfume

This has been my signature perfume for years but it runs out so quickly and it's not cheap/ I definitely

wouldn't mind this in my stocking this year!

Thierry Mugler Angel Perfume

This is another one of my favourite perfumes ever. It always reminds me of the colder weather and

brings back good memories.

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette

I know I'm a little late on this one but I wasn't too desperate to try this palette out as I know it is very

similar to the first one but I definitely wouldn't mind having it in my collection! It's definitely a nice little

stocking filler.

Clarisonic Mia

I really need to get a new Clarisonic as my one recently broke :(. I'm not sure how exactly, it just won't

turn on any more or even charge. I'm not fussed about any of the new Clarisonic's if I'm honest. Just the

basic Mia will make me happy!

Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes

I''m not much of a book lover but this looks like a great little read for girls who are into their make-up like myself!

The Body Book by Cameron Diaz

I know this came out a while ago but I've heard nothing but good things about this book. I'm always up

for educating myself on how to have a healthier lifestyle

Canon EOS D700

This is more of a present I will be buying myself! I need a camera to be able to focus on blogging much

more and this is the one I've been recommended to get. It's pricey but very worth it. Can't wait to finally have

my own camera!

Thanks for reading!
