Current August Favourites.

Hey Guys!

As August nears it's ending and we enter September I am excited because it will be my birthday soon! But also sad because summer will be over and I will now have to start my first year of college in fact this Friday is my first day and I haven't started my assignments yet (I should probably do them after this post right?)

Anyway this month I have found a few things that I've been loving a lot and wanted to share them with you.

Illamasqua Blusher in Tremble - A lovely coral pink blush that is easy to apply and very well pigmented. I've loved using Tremble this month as it adds a certain oomph and warmth to my pale skin, it gives life to my blank face which I really need to look like I'm still a human being rather than a lifeless body (I genuinely am that pale,oh the joys haha)

MAC Lipstick in Offshoot-This little beauty has made it into my current favourites posts before, and was in my FOTD post last week. It's a beautiful 'your lips but better' shade, with hints of deep pink, I love how versatile the lipstick is and how it can really complete a look.

Revlon Nail Polish in Siren-I think this is the perf-ect summer colour, this summer I've really loved orange nails (I have this nail polish on as we speak!) Siren is a bright and vibrant orange which really stands out, I think I'll still love it as autumn draws.

Benefit Creaseless Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit-I have rediscovered my love for Birthday Suit and I don't know why I stopped using it, It's a elegant shimmery gold toned eyeshadow and I think it's absolutely perfect for the lid and inner eye, I really like pairing it with Urban Decay's Busted.

L'OREAL Skin Perfection-I cannot recommend this product enough, it is my favourite skincare product. I use it to remove excess make-up and it removes every inch of makeup on my face completely clean therefore clearing my teenage spot prone skin to settle down a lot. 

Real Techniques Eyeshadow Crease Brush-Although it says eyeshadow brush I use it to blend my Bobbi Brown corrector under my eyes and it blends exceptionally well, it doesn't leave streaks and helps me cover my undereye circles well.

H&M Gold Double Chain Necklace-The perfect statement necklace to wear with everyday basics to up the style factor a bit, I usually wear the necklace with a jumper or boyfriend tee, plain shirts or dresses so it can bring an outfit together and make an effortless outfit seem like I spent more time on it than I really did.

Ebay Winnie The Pooh Ipod Case- I've wanted a new ipod case for a quite a while now and found this one on ebay, they're everywhere on ebay and have other characters like Stitch,Minnie and Mickey Mouse. I L-O-V-E how cute it it on my Ipod, the inner child in me screams with happiness every time I look at it, it's just a really cute case that provides me with some amusement when I'm out and about.

Hope you've enjoyed this post, what have your favourites been this month?

How I Look After My Nails.

Hey Guys!

Today I wanted to share with you how I look after my nails and what products I use regularly to keep them looking good.

So apart from the obvious items like nail clippers,nail file ect these are the three products that I use nearly everyday to look after my nails:

- Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener

- Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

- The Body Shop Almond Hand Cream

Once I have filed down my nails to how I like I apply a small amount of the Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream; I really like the smell of this product, I wasn't too sure of it at first; I wasn't really sure what it was supposed to do, however as I have used it often I have noticed that my cuticles are noticeably softer that they previously were, it is super moisturizing and helps make my nails look healthier.

After applying the cuticle cream I will use a coat or two of my Revlon Calcium Nail Gel, this nail polish is designed for weak nails that break easily to make harder and stronger, my nails used to always do this and it was so annoying! Once I started using the calcium nail hardener I noticed the strength in my nails increase, they were not as weak as they were and they didn't chip every five minutes.

The Body Shop Almond Hand Cream I use every morning before I go out; as it is getting colder my hands get a little bit drier than usual, I find that applying this hand cream really smooths and hydrates them a lot; again the almond hand cream smells amazing and a little goes a long way with it so it lasts quiet a while.

I don't really do anything fancy or time consuming; a very easy and efficient process I use to keep my nails looking tip-top as they say!

Hope you guys have a lovely week!

October Favourites.

Hey Guys!

Today's the last day of October, the months are going by so fast..it's not too long till Christmas now haha. This month I haven't been that taken away with much, even still there are a few items that I have been loving!

Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 - Last month I won this baby in Laura's giveaway, I was super excited, and I love it, the neutral shades all pack on a good pigment and are really versatile, my favourites at the moment are Suspect and Snakebite, they good really well with each other.

MAC Ruby Woo - I recently did a review of Ruby Woo here but a quick run down : it is beautiful, haha that's the easiest way to describe it, I've been liking wearing a more bold lip in autumn, so I'm looking forward to continue wearing it.

Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardending Polish - A purchase from August that I didn't think about mentioning on my blog for some silly reason, this Revlon product is basically a nail hardening gel, I use it every other day and there has been a noticeable improvement in the strength of my nails.

Real Techniques Setting Brush - A fairly new purchase, this brush is so small and cute, I think it would be perfect for using to highlight cheekbones, but personally I use it to apply blush, which may seem a bit strange, but I like that as it's smaller than a normal blush brush it is more compact to use.

So that's this months favourites, Happy Halloween, hope you guys have fun today, my day will consist of returning to Oxford Street to get the bag I somehow managed to forget down there!
