It's that time again! The montly favourites are back. I've loved December so it was only right for me to do a 'December Favourites'.

The first thing on my list is a "perfume" or as the bottle says - Blissful Mistful. Yep! you guessed it, Zoe's body mist from her beauty range 'Zoella Beauty'. I'm really fussy when it comes to perfumes and sprays there are a lot of fragrances I really don't like. I love the fruity, floral, sweet and girly smells all year round. I'm obsessed with the packaging of this product not just the smell, I love the slick shape of the bottle and the colour palette that runs throughout the whole of the range. It's great to just throw in your bag and spritz while your on-the-go!

The next thing I've been loving this month is the Revlon Colourburst. I love this colour so much, I usually opt for a red lip but as soon as I saw this colour I was drawn towards it, Hello Pink!! I may do a review on it soon, so then you can see swatches and it on. Have you guys tried anything from the colourburst range? If so, what? Let me know in the comments.

Letraset Pro markers aka a fashion students dream. They're the most wonderful thing to draw up designs with! The markers are super expensive but well worth the money.

Real Techniques contour brush is literally the most perfect brush I've ever used! All hail Sam and Nic, Make-Up brush queens. I use this brush for my blusher, as you can see I didn't bother washing it for this photo but if I want to give it a quick refresh I use MAC's Brush Cleanser - Great brushes for the price I'd definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

Garnier Micellar water aka holy grail product. I love this micellar water so much, I use it on a cotton pad and I sweep it on my eyes and my make-up is off without any fuss or struggle. I recommend this product. I don't use it all over my face to get my face make-up as I think it's just dragged dirt around my face. I team it with Liz Earle's cleanse and polish - they're literally a dream! My skin has felt so much better since using both these products together. I do use it as a second cleanse after I've used my Liz Earle though.

My Aria Ankle boots from Public Desire are an absolute dream to walk in. I heard some bad things about ordering from the Public Desire website after I had ordered these (I got these the end of last month or early this month) - There had been a rumour that someone was taking money out of your bank account after purchasing which of course worried me a lot.. but I had no problem with that situation and I'm so happy I made this purchase. They're so comfortable and go with everything.  

CHUMMY! My favouritest (new word ;-)) favourite of this month has to be Miranda. I heard that there wasn't going to be another series after christmas so I panicked and instantly started watching it from season one again. It's a guilty pleasure for me, If you've never watched it.. I'm telling you to! It's great. 

My music favourite for this month has to be the new album from One Direction, possibly their best album yet. I was lucky enough to get tickets for Birmingham in Oct 2015 but on christmas day I had a shock and found out that my friends had given my mum the money back I'd paid for my ticket and that they had paid for it!! I'm so grateful to have amazing friends and I'm super excited to be seeing my loves in October!  

Its becoming a tradition for me to have a favourite youtuber in my montly favourites. It's been a bit of difficult one this month as I've been loving every youtuber I'm subscribed to as most of them have been doing vlogmas.. But this month I've decided to pick Jim Chapman. He's so lovely and he seems so much fun to be around.

So thats the last monthly favourites for 2014!! I hope you've all had a lovely holiday period and I wish you all a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm pretty late on the favourites train this month but hey! better late than never. These couple of things I've picked out this month have been my go-to or have stood out and taken the title of my favourites (for this month, atleast). In this months favourites theres a couple beauty/hair products, a book, a youtuber and a feel good song!

The Fault in Our Stars By John Green -  I can't say a bad word about this book, I've been reading it for the past couple of months and last month I finally finished it. It's one of those books you never want to end. I cried, I smiled, I got mad and I got excited. I'm not going to spoil the book for you, but believe me when I say you'll love it! I can't wait for the film to be released here in the UK. I'll be there the day its out.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I have a love hate relationship with this product. Some months I'll love it, Some months I wont. I think it's a really good contouring colour but just for some bronzing I don't particularly like it (maybe because I'm very pale and any colour makes me look orange). 

Soap and Glory Righteous Butter - This product is a god send!! Literally. It's such a good moisturiser. I use this everyday, I'm so glad I listened to the recommendations and gave into the hype!

V05 Refresh Me Quick - I picked up this product as it was on a really cheap deal in Superdrug. Its basically dry hair shampoo with a hint of hair spray hold to it. It's really good for people with long hair as it gives you that "umph!" you need. The smell isn't like any regular dry hair shampoo, it's a lot nicer. If you ever get the chance to try it, do so!

L'oreal Paris Matt&Messy - Hands down the best Salt Spray I've ever used. It gives your hair that beachy look near enough right away. 

Favourite Youtuber this month - My favourite Youtuber this month has to be Zoe aka Zoella. I love her, shes always been my favourite youtuber but this past month she's really stood out from the rest for me. Check her out!

Favourite Song this month - Birthday by Katy Perry. I love Katy Perry so much, she's one of those artists you can listen to and instantly relate to her songs. I heard this song on Capital FM for the first time and loved it. So of course I had to Youtube it.. The video is the best thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to sing it on my birthday! 

Hey there!

It's been a little over a month since I last posted and I have no excuses as to why I haven't posted anything in a while so I'm just gonna get straight into a new blog post.

I've been wanting to do a TAG blog post for a while so why not start with this one!?

1. What is your favourite drugstore make-up brand?

Considering that I'm more of a drugstore girl (the cheaper the better as I'm a student) this has got to be the hardest question on this tag. I think Maybelline or MUA has got to be my favourite brand!

2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?

Without a doubt my top two favourite face products have got to be L'oreal infallible 24H foundation and Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Translucent. My favourite cheek product is the MUA powder blushers, I really like the shade Bon Bon - it suits my pale skin well. Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint in Nothing but Nude is my all time favourite lip product!

3. Least favourite product?

My least favourite is the MUA eyeshadow trio in Innocence, the packaging and formula are awful but I guess you never know until you try it!

4. The best make-up bargain?

My best make-up bargain is from an online shop but it's Maybelline Colossal Mascara in Blackest Black, you can always find a deal on it whether it's 3 for 2 or Buy one and get one half price.

5. What is your favourite underdog product?

For sure ModelsOwn moisturising lip balm in Bubblegum, not only does it have the nicest smell but it keeps your lips moisturised throughout the day.

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?

I love them but for sure the Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butters!

7. What is your best drugstore dupe?

MUA Lipsticks, The pigment and shades are practically the same as MAC just a lot cheaper!

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

I use it most days but it isn't worth the hype at all.. MUA undress your skin shimmer highlighter.

And that's the TAG complete, I really enjoyed it. I had a rummage through my make-up drawers and found things I thought I had lost. Seriously.. If you're a make-up hoarder like me I urge you to do this TAG, just like me you might find something you thought you had lost!

My plan was to do a montly music favourite post every month but as you can see I haven't done one since October, which I'm sorry about but better late than never!

MKTO - CLASSIC

listen here

My first music montly favourite is MKTO - Classic to my knowledge it's been out a while but not been in the charts here in the UK. I found this song by browsing through 8tracks. I love the song it's so catchy. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. 

FALL OUT BOY - ALONE TOGETHER

listen here

When I was younger I was obsessed with FOB major, I don't particularly listen to them much anymore but when I stumbled across this song I automatically fell in love. I could listen to this song on repeat all day. Such a good song. 10/10 from me.

MICHAEL BUBLÉ - CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)

listen here

Since it's December I whipped out the Michael Bublé Christmas album. On the 1st December I had already started listening to it, I love it so much. Any chance I get during the Christmas season it will be on, no doubt about it! Michael Bublé comes across as such a nice man so I will always have time to listen to him! 

ONE DIRECTION - HAPPILY
listen here
I love One Direction so much they're just so cute! I couldn't resist having a listen to Midnight Memories and I've fallen in love with this song, so catchy. I listened to it once and I knew the lyrics straight away (probably because I'm such a fangirl for them) but take a listen and let me know what you think.

HOODIE ALLEN - EIGHTEEN COOL
listen here
Hoodie is such a great artist, I only really started listening to him because of JC (from O2L) he kept adding in about 10 second clips of his songs to make montages so I had to find the song - Thank goodness for top YouTube comments! 

Hey there!

After much debate I've convinced myself to finally start a blog. I've been wanting to do one for some time now but I had no self confidence and thought nobody would read it as there are so many good blogs out there! Another reason I didn't want to start one was because I had no idea how to style or start my blog. So for now it will be very simple! Sorry about that. 

I thought that I'd start my blog because I take a huge interest in YouTube beauty gurus such as: SprinkleOfGlitter, Zoella, Tanya Burr, PixiWoo etc. Although I'd love to be a YouTuber I just don't have the confidence so I thought I should start a blog as most of them have one! Another reason I thought about starting up a blog is because I'm going to UNI to study Fashion And Textiles and I thought this would be a good way to start reviewing fashion in preparation for UNI!   

The main theme for my blog is Fashion, Beauty and I might add some photos of my art work - My theme is a lot like the big beauty gurus. Not that I'm trying to copy or be them this theme just interests me.
