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!!

InstaWeek2

Wow, I'm actually carrying on with this instagram thing... 

SO yeah, it's not been the most eventful of weeks...well, actually it has but these pictures didn't quite capture the good times, because I was, well, you know, living them haha.

Ahh this week has been pretty pleasant actually. It started well and has ended well!

Tuesday was steak night so me and two of my bestest went for steak and a drink and to watch a bit of football.  Marvellous as usual and so nice to catch up! Then one of my friends left and Vicky and I went off to see our good bud Ogo at open mic in Hannah's bar and had a cocktail or two!

Then I took a picture of the 'Wig-Wam' Cathedral while we waited for our cab. I love that about Liverpool, you stand on Hope Street and you can see a Cathedral either end! I think that's pretty special!

SO I have this thing for Robert De Niro. I love him. So I watched The Deer Hunter. If you haven't seen it, you should give it a gander it's pretty bloody good!!

If you know me and are reading this then you'll probably be sick of my adoration for Natasha Lyonne. Ican't even help it though. I love her even more than De Niro. I just think she's incredible and I whole heartedly love her as Nicky in OITNB (obviously) but watching interviews with her and stuff, she's pretty amazing, and I totally want to be her best mate, and that accent!!! It's my favourite. (But yeah, LOVE Slums of Beverly Hills)

This was my Friday.

This is my best mate. My Nan. Janet. Took her shopping on Saturday morning, which is always hilarious because my Grandad does his own thing and walks off with the trolley and she's usually gabbing away and doesn't realise. Also, that cardigan she's wearing, I wore it to her house one time and she made me go buy her the same one. Twinz. 

Still couldn't get rid of the green tinge in my hair from the Washed Up Mermaid so I shoved a bottle of Rose on it again to try and fade it out again...hoping it works this time. So, yeah, I have pink hair at the minute!! Fun fun....

Saturday night. Well, Saturday night turned out to be a lot more than I expected. I haven't laughed that much in a long time! Spent the night listening to old music on YouTube and being hilariously serenaded until about 5am. It was the best. ever.

Had a lazy Sunday chilling with my family and trying to tune my little uke. Wish I could re-do the end of this week again right now. Definitely got Monday blues creeping in but I'm hoping for more of the same next week!!

Random lunch time treat....

On Friday, me and two friends from college went for a little walk on our lunch break amd happened to walk through Liverpool One and came across the 'Maliboutique'.

We had no idea what it was so we decided to go over for a nosey. We went inside and they handed us little tokens and gave us a free cocktail, they had a few different ones. I went for a blue one, because...well, because Im classy like that and love vlue drinks! ha!

As we walked in, there was an ASOS styling advice corner with a few rails of clothes and some advisors to help out and some cocktail workshops. Then a girl came over and asked if we'd like a complimentary hair style by Tony & Guy or a manicure from Nails Inc.

We went for the manicures, (we're in hairdressing college, we had a whole afternoon of doing eachothers hair ahead of us!). We were able to choose from four new colours, I went for a bright mint colour called Royal Botanical Gardens. I love it!!  I wasn't there very long so I don't have that much info but I thought I'd just share some pics incase you spot one near you!

                                       Please excuse my nails.....attack of the ripped off acrylics.....

Home & Away

So, I'm feeling a little glum lately. I keep catching colds so I'm always sick and feeling crap and find myself curled up in my pj's watching the soaps with my sister.

I am addicted to Home & Away. Seriously though, some of the girls in that show definitely make me want to get off my bum and go to the gym and eat better!!! I am seriously lacking that motivation right now, and am not comfortable in my size 12 jeans, I'm only 5'1 and it just doesn't feel right. I must admit though, I love having a bum...boobs not so much! haha.

Just thought I'd share my three fave girls from the show! - Yes, I know how sad I am posting about a soap but I definitely need a holiday in summer looking more like this haha! This is a motivational post for myself really!!


Samara Weaving who plays Indi Walker is just super gorgeous like, in a model kind of perfect way.

Demi Harman who plays Sasha Bezmel, Indi's half sister, she is so gorgeous and so adorable! I love the retro, quirky kind of style she has.

And the there is Rhiannon Fish. This girl is unreal, like she is just one of those people who would look still perfect and flawless in a bin bag!! 

I am going to look at this post daily and get off the couch, even if it's for a quick walk!! 

But yeah, if you love a bit of drama and good looking girls...and boys of course, I say give it a go!!

Too many girl crushes to be had!! haha!!

Who are your girl crushes??!!
