|Music Of The Month

I have a different type of post today not on anything beauty or fashion related as you might have guessed from the title! I thought I would share with you my favourite music of the month because I love music just as much as make up! I'm not sure if this is going to be every month but I will see! Also I love reading posts like this and finding new artists to listen too! 

Sam Smith| In The Lonely Hour

Just putting it out there but I think that this is my favourite album of the year! I love every single song! 

George Ezra| Wanted On Voyage 
I think I may be a little bit obsessed with this guy! His voice is amazing and I just love the whole album!

Hozier|
I have been loving Hozier's music in general for few months now and can't wait for his album to be out next month as I have listened to his current singles 100's of times now!! 

One Republic|
I have listened to One Republic for years and finally got to seem them live last year! But I have been listening to their newest album a lot recently and my favourite songs are Life in colour and burning bridges.

|August Favourites

I have been trying to create different make up looks this month so I have some favourites that I haven't included before!

|Mac Please Me lipstick
I got this lipstick last year I think and hadn't  really used it that often, but this month it is the lipstick I have been mostly using and it is becoming on of my favourites! It's a matte formula but non drying.

|Rimmel Brow This Way 
This is the first tinted brow gel is the first one I have used and I really like it! It is new and on offer for £2.99 in boots at the moment! It isn't an extremely pigmented gel which I am glad about because I think that would be difficult to use.

|MUA Ever After Matte Palette
I have been loving matte eyes this month and these colours are just what I like to use! This palette hasn't really been used that much but I will be using it more now! 

|Essence Lipglosses
I won't go on to much about these because I already have raved about them but I have a full review here! The ones shown are dazzle glow and nude kiss.

|Essence Lip liners

These lip liners  are the best lip liners I have ever used, they are extremely creamy and soft. They are with so much more than the 99p price tag!  

|Collection eye shadow in Ice Queen
This is the shadow I have been using to highlight my browbone on inner corner. It lasts all day and really brightens up the eye.

Thanks for reading

Review| Rimmel brow this way

I first saw this product in a blogpost and had been looking for it ever since but I finally found it! This is the first tinted brow gel I have used and I really like it. I have the shade medium blonde which I think is the lightest shade I could only see this one and a dark brown.
It isn't extremely pigmented which I like as I think it would be hard to work with if it was. It looks great on its own or on top of powder or pencil and I have tried both ways. 
I really like this product and have been using it everyday since I bought it but the only thing I would change is the size of the wand because it is a tiny bit too big, I would like it a little smaller!

Review| Nivea daily essentials 2in1 cleanser & toner

This is the Nivea daily essentials 2in1 cleanser and toner, I bought this quite a while ago and just put it in the drawer and forgot about it! I normally don't try anything new with my skincare if my current routine works but I thought I would give it ago. It states that it removes make up and I tried it for that but I don't find it much good, it didn't really remove any makeup especially eye makeup but It did make my face feel very soft. It has a very light scent nothing to imposing. This costs £3.59 when it isn't on offer.

I would recommend it for just a cleanser as I liked the scent and my face felt soft and smooth, but it takes a lot of time to remove make up with it!

Top 5| Rimmel products

I love Rimmel so I thought I would show you my top 5 products! These aren't in a particular order! 

1. Match perfection foundation| £6.99

I have used this for ages now and it's my favourite foundation. It is medium coverage but buildable. I have a full review here.

2. Wake me up concealer| £5.49
This is the concealer is my favourite for under the eyes, I do find it a bit yellow for my skin tone but it looks ok blended out! It does brighten the under eye area and I fine it stays all day when set with powder.

3. Wake me up foundation| £8.99
I haven't been using this foundation for long but I really like it! I much prefer a dewy base than a matte one so this is perfect.

4. Eyeshadow quads| £5.49

I have 3 of these now and all of them are great. The eyeshadows are pigmented and easy to blend. These would be perfect for travel as they small and can create various looks. I will have a full review on these up soon! 

5. Kate lipstick in 101| £5.49

My favourite rimmel lipstick! It is a matte formula, so it lasts for quite a while. I have a few rimmel lipsticks and really like all the formulas.

|My current favourite handbag

Primark have really upped their game in the handbag department this year! I seem to want like 98% of them! The quality has improved a lot and they look more expensive than they actually are!

I got this for £10 and I would have paid a lot more. I think that if their is any kind of texture on a bag it automatically makes it not look cheap! I don't own any grey bags to I had to get this! It's a perfect size for everyday as you can see it does fit quite a lot in and there was still room. I recommend that you have a look in Primark if you need a bag as they seem to have a style for everyone! 

I think this is great for Autumn/winter and as a transitional bag! The material is soft but the bag is still sturdy.

|Empties #6

Argan oil shampoo & conditioner:

I love these and use them nearly everytime I wash my hair, it smells good and they are only £1 each!!

Nspa toning mist:
I included this in my skincare routine and I love it! I use it twice a day and this has lasted me about 2 months. I have already repurchased! My skincare routine blogpost.

Victoria's Secret pure seduction spray: 

My favourite Victoria's Secret scent! I don't buy it often but when I do this is one I will always buy! 

Dove dry shampoo:

This is about my third or fourth bottle of this and it is one of my favourite dry shampoos! I have a review here.

Soap and glory hand food:

I will always repurchase this hand cream as I love the smell and it is very moisturing! 

Rimmel wake me up and collection lasting perfection concealers:

These are my favourite concealers and I have already repurchased them both! 

Impulse spray in tease:
I've always loved impulse sprays and this is my favourite scent. I love to just have one of these in my bag because they are small and don't take up too much room! 

Lee Stafford heat spray: 

I have rarely been using heat on my hair so i have had this for ages and needed to use it up! I'm not sure I would repurchase as I didn't find it did anything special!

Loreal elnett hairspray:

This post seems to be full of my favourite products, I have used this hairspray for years and so will be buying it again and this big bottle lasts me months because I don't use it often!

Review| Coconut oil

I have been reading a lot of blog posts on  Coconut oil and it's various uses, I've always loved the smell of coconut so thought I would give it a try! I used this as on overnight mask on my hair and it left my hair feeling so soft. It can also be used as a serum and as a body oil which I did and it is great for dry skin because it is very oily as you would expect! This would look amazing if you have a tan as it makes your skin very glowy. The only downside is that it does take quite a while to sink  to the skin. I got this from superdrug and it was on offer for £1.49 but is only normally £2.49. This has become my favourite go to oil/moisturiser and have already repurchased another one!

|Lush Haul

A short little post for you today! I call this a Lush haul but I didn't actually buy then they were a present from my grandparents but I still wanted to write a post about them! I have used a couple of these but they all smell amazing!

Granny takes a dip: smells amazing, I have used this one and the scent is very relaxing and I love the multi colour ballistics! 

French kiss: this bubble bar has lavender in it and I love lavender but I found this too overpowering, so I probably won't get this one again! 

Brightside: this one is big enough to use 2 or 3 times depending in how many bubbles you want! 

Amandopondo: again this is a bubble bar  as most of the other because I do generally prefer bubble bars to ballistics it just depends on my mood!

Review| Essence Lipglosses

I have already review as few products for essence but I had to do a post just on these lip glosses as I think they are amazing!!  I bought one to start off with but had to go back for more as I loved it so much. They last about 3 hours on me before having to re apply, which is absolutely amazing for a lipgloss!

In order they are:

Nude kiss

Rising star 

Dazzle glow 

Pure chic 

The swatches are In order of the picture and I don't swatch the clear because well ...it's clear!!!

They are perfect to wear alone or over a lipstick. I think I may have to have a trip to another store because they don't have many more lipgloss shades to choose from!

                 Thanks for reading...                                     

You beauty discovery box| August edition

This box was the summer essentials theme, I wasn't too interested  with the products this month but I chose

• Louise Galvin weekly treatment hair mask

• Eucerin factor 50 sun cream for the face 

And the samples included was jimmy choo and jimmy choo man fragrances which both smell very nice! A nail file cube and and anti wrinkle cream. I also like the little box they items arrive in it very handy to store things in!

|How I Wash My Make Up Brushes

I know everybody has their own way to wash their but i just wanted to show you the way i wash mine! Baby shampoo used to be the only thing i washed my brushes with but i recently tried Dr Bronner's magic soap in lavender. The brushes are so much easier and quicker to clean with this soap. After using this i found that my brushes are softer. 

I thought i would only have to use this for my small brushes but it works perfectly fine with big brushes too.

This is the sample size as I received it in a beauty box but when I finish this I will be definitely be buying the full size.

Review| Bleach London hair crayon

I have been looking at the Bleach products ever since they were launched but could never commit to actually dying my hair a bright,crazy colour! So when they brought out these I had to buy one as they wash out!

I chose the pastel pink colour called Rose, I only applied a small amount of colour but it is very easy to build it up and it doesn't make your hair dry and chalky which is a bonus! As I only applied a small amount it washed out after one wash but it does say it can last 3-4 washes and you also get a sharpener included. 

I would definitely buy one of these again and would try the other colours as they all are very cool colours!
