|What I've Been Watching #6



This is England '86 '88 '90
This is a series that i have been hooked on, I watched the film and 2 series' in about a week! This is England 90 has just been on 4 all the shows are available to watch on 4OD and i do recommend that you watch them!



|Dr Foster
This is a recent series that has just been shown on BBC1 but i think you can still watch it online. I love this genre of show and i was gripped!! The series was about a women who finds out her husband has been having and affair and does everything to secretly destroy him.
 The acting was amazing especially from Suranne Jones. I highly recommend catching up on this.




|The Fall
I watched this when it was on TV first but started to re watch it, It is jumpy and i don't like watching it at night! i have been watching it on Netflix. Also It stars Jamie Dornan, need i say more!

|La Moda Faux Leather Quilted Shoulder bag

La Moda is a brand that i had heard of but never purchased from.
The customer service is the best i have ever came across as i accidentally ordered 2 without realising and they got in touch with me to tell me which i thought was extremely nice and they refunded me. A dust bag is provided which is perfect for storage.
The Faux Leather is great quality and feels sturdy. The bag fits all my essentials in which i great so it's not overfilled with rubbish! I love the leopard print lining! For £14.99 is a bargain! You can get this is two other colours, I highly recommend that you take a look at the website as they have some lovely items.


Available to purchase here.

Review |Make Up Revolution 'Ultra Metals' Contour Foundation Brush

Make Up Revolution have just brought out a new range of brushes that as you can see are very reminiscent of the Real Techniques 'Bold Metals' range but much cheaper! I never wanted to pay the prices of Real Techniques so i am very happy about these new brushes!

I chose this brush from the range to try first as i haven't got anything like this in my collection. It is the Ultra Contour Foundation brush and cost £9.99 which is a lot cheaper than the Real Techniques counterpart. The bristles are so soft and the rose gold colour is very on trend! They are so pretty and look great on my vanity!

I will definitely be buying more from the range as they are great quality.
Available from Superdrug or the MUR website.

|Make Up Revolution 'Colour Block'

When i first saw these i hadn't seen anything like this before so had to get one! 
These are great gift ideas for anybody who loves make up!

They are available in either red or pink. You get a lip gloss, lipstick and nail polish which are full size as well as the acrylic box which i think is great as it is reusable!
I haven't used the products yet but as they are by Make Up Revolution i suspect they will be great quality as their other products are!

Available from Superdrug here. Its currently on offer for £4.00 and are normally £7!

|What ive been listening to #3

I haven't posted one of these posts for a while and thought it was about time for a new music post!

|Gabrielle Aplin -Light Up The Dark  
Gabrielle's first album is one of my all time favourites, so couldn't wait to listen to the second and i really do like it! Favourites off the album are Sweet Nothing, What Did You Do? and A While.

|Jamie Lawson - Wasn't Expecting That
Jamie Lawson is the first signing to Ed Sheeran's new record label and that is how i came across this song, It is such a beautiful song!


|Sia
I have been watching a lot of Dance Mums recently and that is what caused me to listen to Sia as Maddie is the dancer in most of her videos! I love Sia voice and my favourites off the album are Elastic Heart and Chandelier!

I really liked The 1975's first album and they have been off the scene for a while but are back with this song which i can't stop listening to! It is just so funky and very 80's!

|Scentiment 'Lime & Vanilla Spritzer' Candle

Scentiment candle company is a brand that i have written about before (Review here) and im back again to show you the 'Lime & Vanilla Spritzer' Candle*
These are the most heavily scented candle i have ever had which is amazing and that is consistent throughout the range as my other candle was just as scented.

This candle scent is very citrus based but i think it also smells like a refresher bar but not overly sweet, i would purchase a candle from this brand over Yankee Candle any day! For only £12.95 you get a great amount of candle!

I highly recommend this candle as it is amazing value and you will certainly not be disappointed! 
You can purchase from here.

Review| I Heart Make Up 'West End Girls' Palette

I know i am late on this palette as i saw these doing the rounds on blogs a few months ago and just never got round to picking it up!

The palette is called 'West End Girls' i love all the names that the 'I Heart Make Up' brand names is products they are all so unique! There is only 1 matte shadow and this is the highlight shade. I like the range of colours in this palette.
The pigmentation is amazing as has any other product i have ever had from this brand! The shadows last around 7 hours which i think is great! The shimmer is spread evenly when applied to the lid and does not look chunky at all.

I would recommend this palette as the colours are so different but also pigmented or even just check out the brand as they have some amazing products!

|September Favourites

I haven't posted a favourites for months now as i felt they were getting boring to write but im writing these posts for now!



|Olay Toner
I have been using this to take my make up off and i love it! I have a full review here.

|Rimmel Kate No.42
This has been my most worn lipstick since i bought it, it is just a perfect nude!  Review.

|Jordana lip liner 'Tawny'
I have been pairing this with the above lipstick. It is a lot lighter than what colour the packaging is, more like a very light nude/brown.

|Mac 'Soft & Gentle' Highlighter
The best highlighter in the world!! I don't think i need to say anymore!

|Collection Contour Kit
There are lots of contour kits about at the moment and this is a new release. It is a great kit which is inexpensive and good value.

Top 5| Foundations

I was looking back through my posts and saw that i hadn't posted about my favourite foundations, so i had to share them with you!


|Mac Studio Fix Fluid
My favourite foundation of all time, im on my 3rd bottle and i will continue to repurchase. It is a full coverage foundation with a matte finish. Most of my foundation are medium/full coverage as that is what i prefer to use.

|Loreal True Match
I do find that this foundation can be a little watery but once it has been shaken for a while it is ok. I would say it is a medium-full coverage. There is a wide range of shades available. 

|Rimmel Lasting Finish
This is a long lasting, full coverage foundation that i think would be suitable for most skin types. It is a satin finish and a great drugstore foundation.

|Loreal Infallible Matte
A recent launch in the beauty world and a well reviewed foundation, which is the reason i purchased it! I have dry skin an even though this is matte it is fine on my skin. It is full coverage.

|Rimmel Match Perfection
A firm favourite of mine that i always have a bottle of this in my collection. A medium coverage, satin finish.

Review| Make Up Revolution Brow Kit

I always like to try new brow products, pencils or powders and when i saw this kit for £2.50 i couldn't pass it up!
This is in the shade light/medium, There is a dark shade. I love how it includes a mini pair of tweezers and brush!
The range of shades in the kit is very helpful as you can mix the shades to find your perfect colour.
The powder lasted all day and didn't smudge. I highly recommend this little kit as it's very handy and inexpensive.

This kit is available from Superdrug or the Make Up Revolution website.
