Lip stick balms

Hey guys!!

Now I must confess to not being the most efficient with my make up, it does take me a while! But for those rushed Uni mornings where I'm running late for a lecture, I have come across a fantastic product! I usually scrub my lips, apply balm and then a lipstick and gloss. However if I just don't have the time I have been using the lip balm sticks.

I have aquired a few varieties including some from No. 7 and Soap and Glory! I would reccomend them to anyone, and I have noticed I reach for them even when I have time to do my make up! There fab for throwing in bags and mean I can apply a pop of colour to my lips without liners, gloss' and sticks of products everywhere!

Nail Polish Growth!


Hi Guys!

So one of my first posts on this blog was all about my love and addiction to Barry M nail polish's, this week I'm going to talk you through a few of my most recent purchases and fave colours!

The first couple of my recent faves are really new out and are part of the Aquarium range for Barry M. Pacific is a blue iradecent colour that changes to a beautiful green in the sunlight! The next from this collection is a matching glitter to Pacific called Mermaid, a lovely top coat and packed with glitter! 
The final is a beautiful rose good colour, Caspian, it's so perfect for neutral days, but gives that girly glitter finish you can't not love!

The next is yet another bluey toned, but from Essie! Turquoise is just that perfect spring/summer colour that you never want to take off your nails! 
Back to Barry M for a shade that to me just shouts spring! Berry a pastel purple glides on and makes nails look effortlessly chic spring! I'm not one for purples, but this just keeps getting on my nails! 
Finally is a pale pink from Ted Baker! Unfortunately I don't know it's colour, but it's from Boots if that helps! This pale pink makes for a beautiful natural nail, effortless but beautiful! 

Well that's it for this week guys, see you next week! X

February Favourites- 2014

Hi guys! 
As you can probably tell by the title these are this months favourites, but can we firstly address how fast this month/year is going?! WOW 

Hair Care 
Now I won't go on about this, because I have actually done a full blog post review of it already! But it is the Urban Fudge Vanilla and Raspberry hair spray! 3 things, it smells good, it holds hair, and lasts in bad weather! Pretty good! 

Body
Now this for me is an old favourite which I have recently re-purchased and remembered how much I loved it! It's the Palmers CoCoa Butter! For me this leaves me soft, smooth, not sticky and smelling wonderful! Really like this for all it does to my skin and that reminiscent smell I get from it! Also I would highly reccomend Palmers gradual tan it's also fab! 

Skincare 
This next product has also appeared on my blog before, but I'm getting to the end of it and just wanted to say again how much I am loving it! It's the Clinique rinse off foaming cleanser. In a previous post I discussed how I wanted to really gather a good skincare routine, and after using this product for a few months it has definitely served me well! I am really impressed with the condition of my skin which I believe has come from me taking my make up off properly! 

TV Show
Now I think this is my most excitable thing to talk about this month as my favourite TV show has started to air it's new series! My Mad Fat Diary is a fabulous adaptation of a real life diary from the 90's! It's absolutely fantastic! You can watch series 1 and catch up with series 2 on 4oD now! GoGoGo!

Music 
Now I am a great lover of late 90's early 00's music as that was my era of growing up! I recently got tickets to watch McBusted which I am beyond excited about!!!! And I've also been even more in love with one of my favourite bands of all time.. OASIS! 

Shower Product
This month I wanted a little bit of summer to be appear to keep me sane until it actually arrives! I've been using the Original Source Limes shower gel! I've used a fair few of these in multiple scents including another favourite the lemon one! A lovely scent, it lathers well and the scent stays on your skin! 

Food/Drink 
Finally, this month I have been loving a peppermint tea before bed to calm me and relax me! I personally like to add some honey and almond milk to mine! 
So that's all for now, see you next week! X
