Hello again! Long time no see! I've been super busy with work and of course trying to enjoy my summer break from university. To be totally honest, I wasn't too sure whether I could get into this whole blogging thing, but i've come to the decision that I want to do it because I really enjoy typing away to myself and letting you all know what i've been up to, or what kind of stuff I like / use etc. So as it's that time of the month (in a good way) I thought it would be a good idea to do a monthly favourites. I have been using quite a few new products this month and have pretty much fell in love with most of them and can't believe i've been so long without them in my life... Where to even start!? okay here it goes...
Being the stereotypical girly girl that I am - I love everything shimmery, shiny and pink but I've always had a problem finding a highlighter / blusher until NOW and surprisingly I found two types in just one month! Brownie points for me! The names of the two are: No7 Shimmering palette Rose and Lancome Blush Subtil Pallette 02. The No7 one is so subtle and pretty with its delicate pink colour and it also has light brown shades to give you more of a natural look. It looks sooo pretty on the skin and gives me just the right amount of shimmer without looking too shimmery. No one wants to look like a vampire in the sun from twilight no matter how cool that would be. The Lancome one is a bit more expensive but personally I think it was totally worth it! I've been experimenting a lot with contouring and this is by far the best one i've come across! It seems to be perfect for my complexion and also looks very natural! lets hope that these last me ages and don't get discontinued otherwise I will be on the hunt again! You wont like me when i'm angry (apologies for the film quote).
Like every young human, you grow and in my case, everything has grew and stopped except my hips, legs and bum! I think all the junk food in my previous days is catching up with me. But sadly a bigger bum and hips comes with it's consequences and in this case it's STRETCH MARKS! I know, I know, embarrassing right! For ages, it was getting me down and I ended up hating myself in crop tops, bikinis etc I complained a lot to friends and for a while they kept telling me to get Bio Oil and oh my, it has been incredible! I apply the oil in the morning and just before I go to bed and it seems to be getting rid of them! They are not totally gone just yet, but I honestly think this product will do the job and it lasts absolutely ages. On the lines of removing stuff i've been using a new makeup remover. The one i've been loving this month is from M&S. I got it purely because it was on offer and it said it got rid of redness, so being me, I'm always up for trying new products so I thought why not?! But it's ended up being in my favourites because it feels so good on the skin. It gets rid of all my makeup and makes my skin feel so soft afterwards as if it's a moisturiser too. As for cleansing my body, I've been loving the No7 Cleansing Body Polish which is a scrub and body wash. Due to me having very sensitive skin, I find that No7 is very ideal for me because it's a hypoallergenic company. The product gently exfoliates the skin so it doesn't rip off my skin like other scrubs have done before.
My fav read of the month (I'm lying, it's probably taken me two months to read) has been a book called RSVP by Helen Warner. If you like a romantic and love twisted drama type of book, you will definitely enjoy this! This was once again a bargain buy from Tescos I think for about £2 and it's the best £2 I have spent on a book. The story is told from four different perspectives which at first I found quite difficult to get my head around, but once I got into the book, it's a fantastic story. The only way to describe it is that it's a book version very similar to the story line of Love Actually. But I wont say too much as I hate spoilers. Of course I have a favourite film of the month and it's called The Call. It stars the beautiful Halle Berry which made me love the film instantly! This was such a good thriller and it sucks you in right from the start. One thing for sure is that you won't be able to have a toilet break! I don't normally like scary films, and I think that's why I liked this film so much. If you enjoy thrillers, you wont be disappointed with this one!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love a good cuppa and this month I have been absolutely loving flavoured tea. They taste so good and I feel like they're healthier because I don't have any sugar with them as they are sweet enough with their fruitiness. My favourite ones have been Twinings Strawberry & Mango or the Pomegranate and Raspberry.
This next favourite might seem strange but thanks the pharmacies of Boots for stocking this... *DRUMROLLS*... Nuromol. Never thought I would favourite tablets but these are frickin amazing! For the past couple of months i've had a lot of problems with my teeth and jaw - I think we all know toothaches are the worst. It got to the stage where I was once again on the hunt for a product to sort me out. When I brought them, I took one to see how strong they were and within 1-2 hours, my pain was completely gone! I mean COMPLETELY gone! When it got to the point where my tooth and jaw were on the bigger scale of pain I took two and again it worked wonders! Never been so proud to own tablets.
Last but not least, I have two favourite songs / bands for this month one being the Years and Years band. I think that every song they have released recently has been brilliant and are great songs for car journies. I've also been liking a youtuber named Hobbie Stuart. His voice is perfection. For a while he had done covers, but he has finally started to show off his own music. My favourite one has been "How you love it". It's sooo catchy! I love it!
I would love to know what you're favourites have been this month so let me know!
