Current Favourites (Part Two!)

As I mentioned in my last favourites post (here) I decided to split it into two parts.  Mainly because there are too many to put in one post and I thought it would be good to have one part on just beauty and the other on random sort of bits!

YouTubers and Bloggers

Fabulous Hannah and More Fab Han
I discovered Hannah's channel about a month ago and she is definitely one of my favourite YouTubers at the moment.  I just love her channel SO much.  Her videos are just really easy to watch (do you know what I mean? Haha) If you're looking for new people to watch on YouTube I would definitely recommend you subsribe to her main channel and her vlog channel!
Also can we just talk about the fact Hannah is only 17 and looks and acts so much older than me and I'm 21 haha.

I've been reading Nicole's blog for quite a few months now and I love it so much.  I love the variety of posts and her writing style.  You should all go over and check out her blog! I also follow Nicole on Twitter and she is one of the loveliest people I follow!

http://animesummers.blogspot.co.uk
Another blog that I really enjoy reading is Rebecca's.  She is going to be blogging more so all go over and check it out and follow her!

TV Shows 
I don't really watch much TV, but there's been a couple of shows I've been loving so I thought I'd share them with you.

Love Island
I never really watch stuff like this but my best friend told me to and I actually love it.  I'm not even sure why I love it so much, but I'm a little bit obsessed haha.  My favourite couple is definitely Nathan and Cara.

Jane the Virgin 
This is another show a friend recommend and one I am now obsessed with.  I'm only half way through season one, but it just makes me laugh and its a good nice light hearted program.  I definitely recommend it!

SO, there are all my current favourites.  Hope you didn't mind it being over two posts, but as I said I thought that would be best!

If there's any thing you would recommend for me, let me know! 


Current Favourites (Part One!)

I haven't really done any favourites post recently and this was meant to be a 'May Favourites' but I haven't had the chance to write it until now.  It is the 10th June so I feel like its too late to title it as that haha.  Anyway, here is what I've been loving recently. There's quite a few so hope you're ready for a long post!

(as you can see, my photography skills haven't improved during my break!)
The cacti in the pictures aren't really part of my favourites, but they looked cute in the picture so I kept them there!

2015 Favourites | Blogmas Day 25

Firstly, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope you all have a lovely day filled with fun and food and spending quality time with family!

As it is the last day of Blogmas I have decided to share with you my favourites from 2015. Not just beauty though! As I tend to do monthly favourites some of these things have already been mentioned on my blog but I hope you enjoy reading this anyway.


Of course Roller Lash was going to be featured in this post! You all know how much I love Roller Lash.  I recently mentioned the Benefit They're Real tinted primer which I am loving more everyday. From my Benefit calendar I've found lots of Benefit products that I definitely want to get my hands on.  One of those being the Watts Up Soft focus highlighter.  I loove it.

I've been uncertain of the Lash Sensational, but I kept trying with it and it is now definitely a firm favourite of mine.  If I apply it right, it makes my eyelashes look so thick and long. 
You will of heard me mention the company Prairie Charms here and I just had to put them in my 2015 favourites as they are the loveliest company.  Their customer service is so so good and well, the products are wonderful.  I'm very glad I've had the chance to purchase products from them and be part of their blogging team and designing the Christmas box. 

If you didn't know, I love musicals.  Like, a lot.  The 'Now That's we Call Musicals' CD is literally perfect for me and I find myself listening to it most days haha.  My all time favourite musical is Billy Elliot.  I love it so much. I spend a lot of my time watching the DVD of it live.  I have seen it 4 times and I would happily go 44 more times, haha.  
I've also beeng loving my L'oreal bronzer which I have mentioned maaany times before on this blog! If you haven't picked it up and are looking for a new bronzer I definitely recommend it,

I know I've only had this estee Lauder eye shadow palette which is from the Makeup Artist Collection set (mentioned in my birthday haul) but it is too lovely for me to not mention. Same with the modern Muse perfume, I've only been using it a month but it is fast becoming my favourite scent. 

Vicktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb perfume is my favourite perfume, closely followed by Calvin Klein Euphoria and Modern Muse! I wear Flowerbomb most days and like the name suggests, its a very sweet and flowery scent.  
I wear Estee Lauder Double wear mostly everyday.  I think I have fiiinally found a foundation that works for me! I have also been loving the Urban Decay Naked Skin Finish concealer.  The coverage is so good and it doesn't go cakey, woo! 

I've also been LOVING Justin Bieber, who would ever have thought that?!

That's all my favourites from 2015 and this will be my last post of 2015! I have finally got to the end of Blogmas (YEEEES) I am sorry I didn't manage to post every single day, but you know, life gets in the way sometimes but lets not turn this into a negative post!
I really hope you have enjoyed what I did manage to post and thank you to everyone who left comments and read my posts.

Lastly, have an amazing day today.  Whatever you end up doing, just make sure you eat lots and everything will be fine!!
See you in 2016

Blogger Love | Blogmas Day 22

Hi lovelies! 

I've never really shared other blogs that I love reading before and I think it is always nice to share the blogger love and let another blogger know that you are really enjoy their blog. 

I've been reading a lot of blogs at the moment so for today's post I have decided to share some of my favourites! 

Aisling's Beauty Bites - I have been loving Aisling's blogmas posts.  She has done a much better job at it than me! Haha.  I find she has a lovely writing style and her pictures always look nice.  Really enjoying this blog at the moment! This is definitely a favourite blog at the moment.

Skinnedcartree - This is blog I've recently discovered through Twitter and I love it.  I really like lifestyle blogs, its a nice change from all beauty.  Corinne shares really useful tips too.

Hannah Delacour - I've been following Hannah's blog since I first started blogging.  I love her blog so much and she is honestly the most lovely person I know.  I love her posts and I find myself checking her blog often to check for new posts haha.  Hannah, if you read this, LOVE YOU!

OliviaCheryl - This is another blog I've recently discovered. (How great is Twitter for finding new blogs!) I love this blog so much and I love the snow falling on it for Christmas, its so cute.  I'm very glad I discovered this blog, its so nice to read.

Amy's Thoughts  - Amy writes such good posts and I feel like they're a bit different to the posts I normally read.  They're written so well too and I love her blog design!

Hannah Gale - I discovered this blog through Aisling and it is fast becoming one of my favourites! I love reading Hannah's posts as I feel her personality really shows through on the blog which is always a good thing.  I don't enjoy reading blogs that show no personality. 

HaySparkle - Blogs with a nice design and nice pictures always catch my eye so Hayley's was definitely going to make me want to read it! Its not just the pictures and design I like about this blog, but her posts are always so good and like others I've mentioned, I love her writing style!

I definitely recommend you go and check out all these lovely people and their blogs!

Let me know what bloggers you're loving at the moment.

Current Beauty Favourites | Blogmas day 4

Hey again!  Today I thought I would share with you all my current beauty favorites.  I've mentioned a few of these products before, but some are new and I am loving!
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-place Makeup
I heard a lot of good things about this foundation so once I had saved a bit of money I went and got it and I have to say, it definitely lives up to what others say about it!  The coverage is amazing and a little goes a long way.  I have had this for a few months now and I still have a lot of product left.

Benefit POREfessional Face Primer Balm
Another product you hear a lot about! This is honestly just the best primer. I definitely notice a difference in my makeup from when I wear it to days when I don't.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara 
I've mentioned this a lot on my blog before and with good reason, I think. I love it so much I just think it wouldn't be right to not include it in my current favourites!

Benefit They're Real Tinted Primer (sample) 
I got this free with Elle Magazine and I am in love with it.  Its SO good.  Using it just by itself gives your eyelashes a really lovely fluttery and natural look.  When I want a bit more, I put a coat of Rollerlash over and my eyelashes have so much volume.

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Perfect Slim Intense 
This is something new I've tried.  I'm terrible with eyeliner, like, I just can't do it haha.  I tried the Beneft Push Up Liner, and, well lets just say it didn't go to plan so I went and got this.  I've really been enjoying using this.  I'm finding it much easier to apply eyeliner and I think I may finally be getting the hang of it (WOOO)

L'Oreal Pais Glam Bronze Terra Bronzer
As I've mentioned before on my blog, (here) I am not one for bronzer as I always seem to look like I've just spread mud round my face as I can never find a shade to suit me. However, this bronzer just really seems to work for me and it also has a bit of shimmer in as well so even better!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer
I always struggle with finding a good concealer.  Everyone always talks about the Collection Lasting Perfection, but I really dislike it. It definitely doesn't work well for me unlike it does others so I decided to try this one!  This is too light for me so I tend to just use it by itself instead of with another foundation.  I really love it, it gives me really good coverage and it doesn't look cakey. I think its quite expensive for the size you get, but a little goes a long way.

What products have you been loving at the moment?

See you tomorrow

Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick by Kate

Just a quick little post for you all today, showing you more detail on one of the posts I featured in my June favourites - Rimmel Shadow stick.


This product retails at £4.49 and comes in four differnet shades; Rose Gold (the shade I have), Deep Amethyst, Electric Sapphire and Pure Turquoise. All very pretty colours, I wish they had a few more though!


Unfortunately you can't really see the sparkle in the swatch, but there is a definite sparkle within the eyeshadow.  I also love it even more because of the way it blends SO easily and it stays put on my eyelids all day, what more could you want from an eyeshadow?! 

It works perfectly just by itself, but also looks nice paired with other shades you may want to use! I would definitely recommend this shadow stick, so next time you go looking for new eyeshadow definitely go and check this out!

March Favourites | 2015

Hi! I can't quite believe we are now at the end of March, like what, where is this year going?! Anyway... This month I have had quite a few favourites so I thought I'd put them all in one post :)


Liz Earle - Deep Cleansing Mask- Link


I've made a review before about a few Liz Earle products which you can read here and if you follow me on Twitter you will know how much I love them, but this month my favourite has been the Deep Cleansing Mask. It makes my skin feel SO soft and clears up any spots I have.  I love it.

Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter- Link 



I've never really used many Soap and Glory products, but at Christmas I got a set of lots of body products and I've been using them and oh my goodness, my skin has never felt so soft after I use this butter. It also smells amazing and it sinks into the skin really well, and moisturises really well.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara Very Black- Link

This always use to be my go to mascara, but I started to get bored of using the same product every day so I tried a few others.  These were ok, but I never really loved them. So I've eventually came back to this one and I have fallen back in love with it! It makes my eyelashes look really nice and it is a good one to use while I save up for Roller Lash haha.

MUA Hall of Fame Eyeshadow Palette - Link




I've only recently purchased this, but I am in love.  I don't own that many eyeshadow palettes and I wasn't really expecting to love this as much as I do. I love neutral eye shadow colours so this looked perfect to me, and it is.  I wear it most days and I love it.

MUA Lipgloss in Smooch - Link

 I find it hard to find a nice lipgloss, but this one I've purchased from MUA is lovely.  It is so cheap but the quality is really good. It is not sticky and it just gives the lips a really nice shine and this is another product I normally wear everyday.

Rimmel Lipstick in Divine Wine (I don't know a link for it anywhere, sorry!)


I discovered this lipstick at the bottom of my makeup bag a few weeks ago and decided to try it.  As you may know, Im not really one for lipsticks but I really like this one.  The colour is really niI ce and stays on all day.  It's a really creamy, moisturising lipstick. 

Real Techniques eyeliner brush from the Nic's Picks set - Link 


I've never been good at eyeliner no matter what type I use (liquid, gel etc) so I never thought about even attempting an eyeliner brush, but since it came with the set I thought I should! I use this with a gel liner and it makes it SO easy.  My eyeliner has never looked so good haha. Definitely recommend using a eyeliner brush.

So there's all my March favourites! I hope you enjoyed reading this post and let me know what some of your favourites have been in the comments!
