I'm just a few days early with my February Favourites. Better than being a few days late, I suppose? Here's everything I've been loving this month.



Spectrum B04 - I got this back in December at Clothes Show. The whole Spectrum Brushes stand was on 3 for 2 which was absolutely amazing. If I had extra money I would have bought a lot more! I've started to wear different eyeshadow everyday recently, I'm lovinggg it. This brush is the one I go to to blend and pack on colour in the crease. After having a look on their website at more brushes the 'B' Brushes are designed specifically for Blending and Buffing, no wonder it's so bloomin' good. The bristles are sooo soft, they pack colour on so well. I can't wait to get some more Spectrum 'B' brushes. The brand are vegan registered and cruelty free, bonus!! You can get the brush here.


This is a staple in my everyday routine, I love it every month but this month I've been loving it even more. Not only is this super easy and takes less than a minute to moisturise your whole body it leaves you with a lovely sheen to your skin. I've been given a lot of compliments on how healthy my skin looks ever since I've used this! Deffo a re-purchase item for me! It's sold in most supermarkets and Superdrug/Boots.


I'm OBSESSED with this highlighter. M.A.C outdid themselves with this one, there isn't a day I don't wear it. It's just sooooo pretty. It's perfect for my skin tone (so if you are as pale as I am, this will suit you!) I use this on my brow bone, cupids bow, cheek bones, down my nose and on the tip of my nose and it doesn't look overpowering in the slightest, although, even if it did I wouldn't care too much. If anyone knows of a cheaper dupe, let me know I'd love to give it a try! This shade is LightScapade and you can get it here.



I got this palette at the start of the month and I was really anxious to use it. I thought it was mega pretty and the colours were stunning but I didn't think I'd be able to pull most of these colours off, but the one day I just thought I've paid nearly £50 for it so I need to use it. The next day I used Thanks A Latte all over my lid, Wine N Dine in the crease, Teddy Bear in the outer V and Cranberry splash just along my lash line and then used liquid liner over it. The next day I decided to use Hashtag and Toffee, I've not stopped experimenting with colours since! I love this palette so much and it was well worth the money. If you can get your paws on it, I'd definitely recommend spending the money.

There are a few things I couldn't photograph but need a little mention. The first of those things are TED Talks. I'm a little obsessed with watching/listening to them. I've learnt so much from listening it's so crazy, I never thought I'd be interested in hearing someone talk about their life - which didn't impact me at all (selfish, I know.) I usually put them on for background noise while I'm doing university work or blogger stuff but then I can't stop listening! I definitely recommend giving a few a listen. You'll be hooked, believe me.

The next thing I've been hooked on is the Samika YouTube Channel. I've had a few interactions with Sam via Twitter. I've been following Sam and Jennika's family vlog for around 2 years now and there hasn't been a vlog that I've missed.

If I've not been listening to TED talks or watching Samika I've been listening to Alex Aiono and/or William Singe. I'm well and truly hooked on their music. My favourite song this month has to be Work The Middle by Alex and my runner up has to be Rush by William. Give them a little listen if you can!

What have you been loving this month? Let me know in the comments below.

Aaaaand I'm back again with another very delayed music monthly! As some of you may know I create monthly playlists on my spotify account (robynpugh_ for those wondering) (get that promo) and then at the end of the year I put them all into a playlist and that's my playlist for that year! I've done this for two years now and I've loved doing it. Here's what I've been loving throughout January:

I decided to go ahead and do a mid month favourites. I know favourites are usually the end of the month or start of the next month but I just really wanted to share my favourites with you!


The first thing I've been loving is the Spectrum A00 brush. Not only am I obsessed with the colours but I'm loving the bristles and how soft they are. I picked this up at Clothes Show 2016, Spectrum had a 3 for 2 thing going on at their stand and I couldn't just walk past, I knew I had to buy something. I've been looking at their website for a while now but I have SO many makeup brushes already that I can't bring myself to buy one of their sets. Another thing I love about this brush is that it's cruelty free and vegan! Bonus.


The second thing I'm loving this month is this faux tangle teezer. Mum got me this as a little stocking stuffer because she knew I'd love it (because it's rose gold). I only use this when I have dry hair as it doesn't get through knots as well as a tangle teezer does. It's a good size, the bristles are flexible and apparently it was a bargain!


This might just be my new staple mascara. It's a m a z i n g. Although I should probably get it in waterproof next time. I have pretty small eyelashes naturally but when I put this on it looks like I've got falsies on. Not only does it lengthen really well, it also thickens. The only downside to this product in my opinion is the weight in the wand. Too faced is slowly becoming my favourite makeup brand.


I've been dying for some good headphones for months now and Santa got me some. Luckily, he got the exact ones I wanted. I can't rate these enough, they're so comfortable and the sound quality is something else. Another little added bonus is that these are wireless! It comes with an aux cord in case you want to use them with the wire and a charger to charge them up. The battery life on these are crazy, I charged them up Christmas day and they're still going mid January.


My final favourite of this month is Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Walk of Shame. I'm obsessed with this colour and the formula of this. I wear this all year round just because it's such a pretty colour. It's been sold out on the website for a few weeks now and I'm just glad I managed to get my hands on it. I think I might have to have a little look at more colours so I can build a CT collection!
