October '16 Favourites

 

October has been a month of rediscoveries. I have tried to move my makeup around a little and I have found a few items that I completely forgot I had and also rekindled my love for a couple of items. 

My Favourite Films

Lets have a little step back from beauty today and chill. Nothing better than chilling out with your favourite film, in bed with a cuppa. Even better if you have someone else to cuddle up too, pets included. I am a massive fan of films, I can't think of anything better than getting curled up in bed and just forgetting reality for a while. In this post I am going to talk about my favourite films and why I love them so much.

Keeping Lush Fresh

You should know by now that I love Lush, but there is nothing worse than your bath bomb not doing what it should. When it hardly fizzes and just sinks to the bottom of your bath tub. We all dream of that perfect Instagramable bath art image that is going to get all the likes. But how do you keep Lush products are fresh as possible?!

Tickled Pink & Diet Coke

Did you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month? No me neither. I had seen many of my favourite brands changing their packaging into limited edition pink packaging. For example Jo Malone adds a cute little pink ribbon onto her perfume bottles, Origins completely changes its normal green packaging for the Drink Up Intensive face mask into a white and pink design and also GHD have brought out some amazing fuchsia pink straighteners and hair dryer. But do this products cost you more? Nope, the companies just donate so much of the proceeds to Breast Cancer charities.

Amazing right?! But I know what you are saying, these aren't cheap brands! How can I do my bit? Well my little beauty fanatics. Diet Coke is your answer.

October '16 Empties

When I kinda had it in my head that I was going to start blogging again, I made a conscious effort to save my empties. I used to love writing these before and they are also one of my favourite posts to read. I am just to nosey for my own good. Lets get started...

Shadow Switch*

Hands up, who is lazy like me and literally detests cleaning their brushes? Nice to know I am not the only one. One of the main reasons I don't use eye shadow a lot is down to having to clean my brushes more. Doing just liner doesn't require cleaning anything. So when Beauty Essentials contacted me asking if I wanted to try out a "dry brush cleaner", well I was all over it. But was it going to be too good to be true?

"Water" October Birchbox

 

Wow I have missed telling you about my little monthly treat, Birchbox! And what a box to get it all kick started again. When I saw that there was going to be four different boxes that you could received I hoped that I would get Water, and blow me down. Look what I went and got! The reason I got water is because my star sign is Cancer. Lucky meeee! Firstly, I adore the new draw like boxes you get, so much better than the boxes from before. Also really handy for storing items in after you have emptied the contents from Birchbox out. I am loving the starry night sky design on this months box, AND IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!! 100% going to be keeping this box.

Halloween & Christmas Lush Haul

 

Am I the only one who walks into Lush and is determined to only pick up a couple of bath bombs, because you know full well you have 7 other Lush items at home that need using up. But you end up spending nearly £40 on 10 items. Oh it's not just me, thank god for that. I picked up these items after a visit to Meadowhall recently.

September 2016 Favourites

Back to monthly favourites, which are one of my favourite posts to write and read. I just like to be nosey and see what folk are loving. This month only 3 products have really stood out to me;

The Blog Made Me Buy It

I am a self confessed beauty magpie, pretty patterns, colours and packaging just sucks me in. I always find it so hard to walk away from a product that is a packaged perfectly. In this post I am going to tell you about a few items that I own, which I find it almost impossible to use as they are just to darn pretty and also that I most likely brought them because of a hype around them... oops.
