August Favourites.

Some of my favourites this month.


I have a fair few lip products but to be honest I mainly stick to what I'm comfortable with everyday. However, I've been playing around this month, I'm seriously loving either really red, or dark lips.

Here are my faves at the moment!!

L-R; MUA Luxe Velvet Lips in Kooky and Reckless, MUA matte in Fawn Fancy, Collection in Revenge and E.L.F Lip Definer & Shaper.

Matte Lips are my all time favourite ever. I just find them a lot less messy. 

Kooky and Reckless are the two shades I just HAD to have when I first saw the MUA velvets online and they didn't disappoint!!

I wear the MUA Matte Fancy Fawn all the time, this is just a great everyday lipstick, it's really subtle.

Now, I was feeling brave and I am a total goth at heart, so I bought this Collection Lipstick in 'Revenge' a while ago, this isn't matte but it is absolutely beautiful, it's not as dark as I expected but more of a dark red, wine colour. I love it. It's perfect for nights out!

The E.L.F Lips Definer & Shaper seriously helps if you want that Kylie Jenner effect! I am obsessed with this.

L-R; MakeUp Revolution Rebel With A Cause, Rimmel Kate 107, MAC Satin Red, MAC Hue.

Rebel With A Cause is a new one I've found just in this last week, and it is honestly a gorgeous colour, I'm not sure about the consistency yet, but that may just be because I love matte too much, but as I said, amazing colour, and for £1 who can complain?!

These three I have had for a while now and I haven't paid them as much attention as I maybe should have, but I have rediscovered them this last month!

The Kate Moss one is just amazing. I don't even know what to say because it's just so perfect for me! I even put this on under 'Revenge' for a deeper colour, and it lasts a little longer then too!

MAC. Well, to be honest, I'm so bored of MAC lipstick, you can get so many quality dupes for such a better price. BUT I do love the ones I have, Satin red is just SO red, I really like it, but I don't like that its not matte.....and although I just said I'm bored of MAC lipsticks, I am seriously considering Ruby Woo. It is matte and just a seriously gorgeous shade and I haven't found a dupe that I love.
  Then we have Hue, I really like Hue, this is just a simple, everyday colour .

L-R; Illamasqua cream blusher 'Rude', MakeUp Revolution blusher 'Treat', Eyelure Brow Shapers, (bottom left) MakeUp Revolution Mono Eyeshadow Eden.

So I've only just got my hands on MakeUp Revolution and I must admit, I really like it so far! This blusher goes a long way so I only need a tiny bit but it gives me a lovely fresh glow and the eyeshadow is just the most gorgeous green, perfect for a smokey eye with a little bit of colour.

Eyelure Brow Shapers have saved me! We all know how scary it is when you have good brows and you go get them done and you're terrified it's gonna go wrong....well mine did at christmas and my left one still hasn't recovered so I really don't feel like going to get them done any time soon. I found these in Superdrug for about...maybe £3? and they're so good! they're shaped with an arch and luckily it suit my eyebrows perfectly! I got my friend to do mine for me and they worked a treat and I still have all the eyebrows I want but just a lot neater!!

And my trusty Illamasqua cream blusher! Best bargain I think I've bought this year, was £5 in the sale and a little goes a long way!! I use my small E.L.F stipple brush to apply it and it lasts all day!

Barry M Nail Paint Raspberry

This is literally all I have worn all summer long! One of my favourite all time nail colours!!

Favourite snack and drinks right now!!! This Elderflower water from Aldi is a hangover godsend!! I hate normal water but I can drink about 3 bottles of this a day! I probably shouldn't, but I do so....

And Peanut Butter M&M's like seriously, I found these in B&M for £1 a box.... I stocked up....

Oh...and some of my favourite books in the background there....

So there you have it! My August favourites!!

Jan/Feb Haul

So, although I am trying to save my pennies, sometimes, I just can't stop myself. I swear, I think I black out as I'm at the till. If I can't remember, it didn't happen, yeah?? :/

To be fair to myself though, I don't tend to go any more expensive than good ol' Primark or H&M when I'm trying to save.

There are more things that I have bought than what I'm showing on here....but I can't remember what....or where I've put them, and I'm wearing one of the t-shirts.

Just thought seeing as it's Sunday, my posts have been pretty few and far between, boyfriend has gone home and I need to distract myself from going to the kitchen to stuff my face with everything I can't have that contains gluten, that I'd do a little haul post of the things I've bought over January and February!!

Here gooooes...

Well, yeah, that's some of it!!

I am obsessed with my little suedette style skull flats!! I stumbled across them on everything5pounds.com and thought, 'for a fiver???!!' so I got two pairs, one in black and one in like a dark green, they are gorgeous and were only £5 each with, I think it was £3 shipping or so? Not bad, not bad.

The primark dress I was so impressed with!! It was only £5 and it's actually a really lovely fitting, flattering dress, its like a t-shirt skater skirt dress but, it's just so lovely on, I couldn't believe it!!

Massive trainer addict. Couldn't say no to £9.80.

Everything else was bought in sales or online.

I wanted the Regal Rose ring so bad before christmas, and then on boxing day I came across it on Ebay for half the price (£9), and when I looked at the seller it was Regal Rose so I've been checking back for bargains!!

I'm gonna go have a rummage through my room now to try find the rest for part. 2! haha.

Hello! Nails...

If you have ever seen Kath & Kim, you'll know the saying Hello! Nails......

Aaaanyways. I'm a little obsessed with nails.

I love having them different colours, whether they go with what I'm wearing or not, I won't lie though, they normally do, but it's not an intentional matching.

The last few weeks I have had........

This is OPI 'Rumple's Wiggin' & China Glaze Nova & a cute nail decal from ebay.

Blue Glitter Gel courtesy of my sister!!

White Barry M with a £1 multi glitter over

I've also been wearing Red Wine Barry M, but I just can't seem to take a remotely acceptable picture of it?!

I love doing my nails when I'm bored or going out....or staying in...it's just a time passer, and I like to play around with glitter and patterns and decals and things. here are a few of my faves:

From L-R top row:

Pixie by Hara - Matt White by Barry M - Shade 1 by MUA - Red Wine by Barry M - Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI - Nova by China Glaze - Rumple's Wiggin' by OPI - Lady In Black by OPI 

From L-R bottom row:

Shocking Pink by Barry M - Bright Pink by Barry M - Red Glitter by Barry M - Dark Green shimmery one?? by Barry M - Turquoise by Barry M - Mint Green by Barry M - Silver Foil Effects by Barry M - Teenage Dream by OPI (Katy Perry) - Carnival by Technic

So, those are some of my favourites at the minute and I have moustache decals but need wayyy more, I want some crosses too. My sister just ordered some white 3D bows, so I  might let her try them out on me when we get back from holiday

Any nail polishes or colours you can't live without??!

What A girl Wants

Just been having a nosey online and found some things to add to my current wishlist, which is probably already the length of my arm!!

I intend to get my hands on them ASAP! I can’t wait to go on holiday, but this trying not to spend business is super hard work, and I’m not sure how long it will be until I crack!!

1.                                                                                                    Topshop Petite Matte Wetlook Leggings £18

2.                                                                                                              Topshop Scandi Floral Tee – Grey £18

3.                                                                                                                       Topshop Mighty Ankle Boots £45

4.                                                                                                              MAC Discotheque Nail Polish - £10

5.                                                                                                                               MUA Pro-Brow Kit - £3.50

6.                                                                                                          Urban Outfitters Moustache Cushion £25

7.                                                                                                                              Knuckle Duster Mug £10??

Ok, so I found the matte leggings I’ve been after! YAY! Also came across this pretty cute grey floral tee too!

I am so undecided on ankle boots, I love them but I can never decide between plain or studded??? For £45 from Topshop I think these are alright, and could probably get a studded pair from primark for ... I think they’re £18?? So, best of both worlds really.

Obsessed with this MAC nail polish, saw Rachel Zoe post it on instagram and it looks amazing on.

MUA is clearly a great high street, affordable make up brand and I am in LOVE with them at the minute!! I love that their items are so cheap but the quality is great! I have quite a few nail polishes, lipsticks and eyeshadows, and have recently bought their Extreme Volume Mascara, which is actually really, really good! I mean, I pile on lashings of mascara no matter what I use but I didn’t even bother putting lashes on when I used this! I’ll do a proper review on MUA when I go on another haul...with a tenner, yes, a make up haul with a tenner! Great isn’t it?! Anyways, back to the Pro-Brow Kit, I can not wait to try this!! I’ve been meaning to get a brow kit for a while, but I’ve been quite lazy and haven’t really bothered looking, so when I saw this for £3.50 I was so excited!!  I’ll let you know how it goes...

I’m thinking of decorating my room, its currently ‘Vintage Rose’ but I’m thinking white, just a plain crisp white. So I’ve been looking for little bits n’ bobs for my room and came across the moustache cushion in Urban Outfitters and I love it! I don’t know why, but I am loving the whole moustache thing at the moment....wish I could grow my own .... no, I don’t love it that much! But I WANT thsat cushion.

And finally, the knuckle duster mug, I have been dying for one of these for aaages, it was on my Christmas and birthday lists, but alas! Santa and my mum both forgot it! It’s ok though, I’ll get my own, I can’t decide between the black and white but I’m leaning towards the white, because, I know this is weird but ever since I saw Aria in Pretty Little Liars holding a mug with her nails painted super dark I thought they looked amazing, so I’m leaning towards white to show off my nails, odd, yes?

I think they’re around a tenner on eBay! I think they’re so cool!

Right, gonna go run a bath and dream of more pretty things to add to my list!!
