Monthly Favorites | September

Hi Lovelies! This month I've not really experimented much, I've sort of just stuck to my usual products really. Although, these are a few products that I haven't currently blogged about that I've used alot this month.
DermaVio Coconut Body Butter I use this quiet alot, specially this month as winter is approaching and need to keep your skin healthy and non dry. I'm a big big fan of coconut and the smell of this body butter is LUSH! It makes my skin super soft and with healthy looking glow. Really love this one!
Moisturizing Owl Hand Cream If you've read my previous posts, I've posted about this one before and unfortunately I don't know where you can purchase this as it was given to me as a present. But I use this to keep my hands moisturized. It's not really scented as such, but it does the job well.
COLLECTION Lasting Perfection Foundation I've only recently purchased this one but ever since this has been my main foundation. I can't say much of it right now, as I haven't used it for long enough to find faults but I'll definitely do a review soon about it. 
Baby Lips Yellow & Purple  I've always wanted these, and ever since I've got them I've non stopped used them. They are a little pricey for what they are, as in there are plenty of other ones just like them but much cheaper. But I really like them! I got the YELLOW one which is intense care lip balm & I also got the PURPLE one which has a slight redish tint.
Owl Geek Scarf This is just one of many scarfs that I like, as winter is approaching I've dragged the winter box out and started adding hats & scarfs to my outfits. 
& A couple of other non beauty favs:

 




YANKEE Cupcake Candle I'm absolutely OBSESSED with scented candles. Specially Yankee's. The smell is so sweet it send your taste buds into over drive, I cant stop smelling it. Love it. 
  They were my September Favorites  I hope you enjoyed, and if you're doing the same leave your blog link in the comments and I'd love to check your monthly favorites!    ....What are your favorites of September? 

 

Skin Care Products

 

Hi Lovelies! 

Hope you've all been well? I would absolutely love to post something everyday but unfortunately I have to organize my blogging time around my GCSE work, and at the moment I don't have much time to do blogging so I will be posting whenever I get the chance to, I do apologize! 

We all want healthy looking skin, don't we? If you haven't already guessed, today's post is about skin care and I will be showing you my products I have to keep my skin looking fresh. Lets begin!

Sainsbury's Aqueous Cream BP

This cream is often used for eczema but it's not just for that. It's a brilliant skin cleansing agent and helps to soften and sooth the skin. It's a big tub so lasts me a good amount of time, I normally apply this on my arms/legs or anywhere where skin is feeling dry etc before bed, and leave it over night.

THE BODY SHOP Almond Body Lotion

I absolutely LOVE this cream, it smells LUSH! I use it on my hands and if my feet(ew) are dry, then there too! It makes your skin super soft, probably my favorite smelling cream! YUM!

Owl Hand Moisturizing Cream

I was actually given this as a present, so I'm not sure where you can purchase them but I use it quiet alot and it's a very good cream for your hands! It's light weight, so you can wear on during the day. I don't usually like to wear heavy moisturizers during the day, I tend to apply them before bed but this is a really good hand cream, not to mention the packaging,SO CUTE!

Superdrug Sensitive Deep Cleansing Mud Mask & Ginseng and Jasmine Mask

I don't often use face masks, but it's a relaxing thing to do on a peaceful evening. I really like these ones because it's not too liquidy nor thick,which I like! Also the smells are really nice.

St Ives Apricot Scrub

I use this in the shower mostly, but it helps to clear black heads & blemishes. It's the best face scrub I've come across so far, the smell is lovely as well. If your on the hunt for a good face scrub I definitely recommend this!

INGREDIENTS Sicilian Lime & Bergamot Shower Gel

I don't use this one that often, but I thought I'd include it because it smells beautiful. It does leave your skin feeling very soft and with a beautiful glow. 

INGREDIENTS Mango Shower Gel

I also really like this one, I'm also a big fan of mango's too so, what could be wrong with this? Again, it leaves your skin feeling soft and a beautiful glow.

INGREDIENTS Pomegranate Hand & Body Polish

This is a really fresh smelling cream, it even has the seeds from the pomegranates in it. The smell is LUSH, the only thing I can fault with it is the seeds. Although it being nice & fresh it does have seeds in, and it does leave your hands covered in seeds. But other whise, lush!

GOOD THINGS STOP THAT SPOT Clearing Gel 

I use this every day because its a clear and lightweight gel. I've been using this gel for a few months now and it doesn't clear up spots all together but it does help, alot! 

INTENSIVE SPOT CREAM

I use this before I go to bed, due to it being a heavier cream. It's a really good cream, works brilliantly!

COLOR TREND Lip Balm & FANTA Lip Balm

I have lots & lots of lip balms, I don't really recommend any as they do mostly the same! However, I've heard brilliant things about EOS Lip Balms, hopefully soon I'll be purchasing one and will get around to doing a review on that!

GARNIER Light Daily Moisturizer

This is my main daily moisturizer I use, I apply it after my spot creams and makeup on top. It helps clear dry & flaky skin of my face. My favorite Daily Moisturizer I've come across so far.

 I hope you have enjoyed this, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to do much blogging but I'm hopefully going on a big shopping trip soon so be expecting a big beauty haul and lots of reviews!

 

 

Wishlist of September

Hi Lovelies!  I thought this would be a fun post to do monthly, I mean who doesn't want at least a few extra products? So these are a few things I've been wanting for a long time, I'm having a big shopping trip soon so *fingers crossed*

 Yankee Candle 'MMM, BACON!'
I absolutely LOVE candles, specially Yankee's. I normally have natural smells like Vanilla and berry smells but this smell is something so different, which I like.  What's better that on a cold winter day warmed up by the fire place with bacon smells all around you, or is it just me? 

NAKED Skin Foundation

I'm always after new foundations to try, and I've heard alot of good things about this one so I'd really like to give it a try!

Jack Daniels Jumper

It's not really beauty product related, however as winter is approaching very fast I'm going to need a few more warm & cosy jumpers! 

I've been wanting this for awhile now really, I don't know what it is but I really like this! Also its super super comfy!

                                                                                  EOS LIP BALM

I love these lip balms, they're easy to use and I love the packaging! I think one of the main reasons why these are such a big hit is because of it staring in Miley Cyrus's new music video but I just love them anyway!

 TOPSHOP Nails
This is probably my most favorite nail polish ever! The only down side to it, is that it can be quite expensive specially if your like me and want to collect all colors! This must be one of my most favorite color, I just love baby blue's.




TOPSHOP Nails
This is my second favorite color, the colors are quite summery but I'd happily wear them through the winter too just because the colors are LUSH! I'm not a massive nail polish wearer but if I've found a color I really like I probably wont stop applying it!





 
I hope you have enjoyed reading my wishlist and fingers crossed over the next few months I'll be able to purchase these products and give reviews on them! Stay tuned for next month's wishlist!   And I'd love to hear about your own if you've done one yourself!  

Beauty Blogger Tag

Hi Lovelies! I've been caught up in a fair amount of course work at the moment so unfortunately haven't had the time to put together a post, I hope you all don't mind but I will be organizing next week much better so I will have plenty more time for blogging! Lets get started,
1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is naturally very straight, but I normally wear it wavy.
  2. What is your natural hair colour?
Chocolate brown.

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I dye it myself, It's so much cheaper.

4. How often do you wash your hair?
2 or 3 times a week.

5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
I like to change it, but I don't usually have much time in the mornings so nothing marvelous.

7. How often do you change your nail polish?
In the summer I normally have different colors all the time, but at school unfortunately not allowed any:(  Sucks, right?
  8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, or just in the summer?

 I don't usually have nail polish on my toes, I normally wear closed in shoes so I find it a bit pointless to paint them.

9. How long does it take you to put your make up on?
Depends on how long I've got, If its my usually every day it usually takes me 10 to 20 minutes but if I have alot longer I'll probably take 30 to 40 minutes, knowing me I get distracted easily!
10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
I always do my face first, start of applying creams etc then once all my foundations are on I apply eye makeup.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
A bit of both, I like to try new things so I'm always collecting. But I always buy what I need first.

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Rarely, only if it's a special occasion.  
13. Do you do a full face of make up everyday?

 I'd like to think not, I only wear basic foundations and some eye liner for most days.

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
Not really, I like to let my skin breathe when I'm home but normally I'll wear some sort of concealer or something.

15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
I have, but I'd feel much happier with it on.

16. How many high end products do you own?
Not many, is that bad?

17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
I normally give them a good ol' scrub every few days or so.

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you ate getting dressed?
Depends, If it is for a special event I'll probably have it all out ready, but just a normal day I'll just pick up whatever looks good on that day.

19. How often do you change your handbag?
Not frequently, I'm a bit picky with bags! If I find a nice comfortable one, I'll probably stick with it for several months!  

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
I don't really have a time, as soon as I'm tired I suppose! As long as it isn't too late. But in the mornings it's usually 7 o'clock, but on weekends it's as long as possible.

21. How often & when do you work out?

I don't often get the time, specially with my GCSE's going on but I normally walk around 30 to 40 dogs every Sunday (it's my job).

22. Left handed or right handed?

I am a right handeder (is that even a word?)

23. How tall are you?I really am not sure, I don't measure. Is that a bad thing?
  24. Do you speak a foreign language?
Not really, I took french in my early high school years.

Lots & Lots. More than enough Guinea Pigs(roughly 20), 2 rabbits, 2 dogs & a few tanks of fish.

26. How often are you on Blogger?
I check it every day & I do try to post that frequently too.
27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs?
I read every single comment on my blog & reply! I read lots of comments on other blogs, yes.

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes, I have a very long list of products I want to try out. Slowly working down the list. 

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
I don't really know, it wasn't inspired by anything! I think it just came to me.

30. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?

I tend to use different ones, I use my Iphone camera alot and my digital quiet frequently. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my hands on a really good camera as of yet but I am getting a brilliant one this December, can't wait!

  31. How often do you clean your house?
 My Mum is the main cleaner of my house, but I try keep my room tidy for as long as I can then just give it a good ol' tidy up when I cant stand the mess for much longer.

32. What is your favorite color?
I can never give a straight answer for this because I like so many colors! I'd say at the moment I'm very fond of peachy colors!

33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
GLAM, ELLIE. I don't really have a favorite. 
35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?  Well hopefully I'll be relaxing as Saturday is my only day to do so, and giving my very hairy Guinea Pig a good ol' bath as he is in need of some deep cleansing!

What are you doing with your day?

My Trip To Brighton

Today's post isn't a normal post it is just a one off, I thought I'd do something a little unusual for a change! So I visited Brighton and must I say it was one of the most beautiful place I've ever come across! Every body there are so lovely, you can't walk down a street without a million smiles being directed at you, they are all so genuine.  

The train journey was very very long, specially for a person like me that does not have any patience to wait and sit around. So to pass the time I took a few snaps of the scenery from the train window!

This is the Tarmar Bridge that lays over the Tarmar River 

 After arriving at Hove in Brighton my Family and I went for a lovely meal at 'The FreeMasons' and must I say, it was the best carvery I have ever tasted. The pub/restaurant had a gold theme and almost everything was shining gold, beautiful sight!

The bar was amazing! The lights over the bar where rows of diamonds, very creative!

 After the very delicious meal, we went for a evening stroll over the town of Hove. 

We came across a beautiful sight of these tall homes/buildings, rows after rows all circling around a magnificent seating area to adsorb the views!

 Whilst out on our evening stroll, we came across this amazing sillouette in the water, it was Brighton's pier. Before it burnt down that is. There is a very tragic story that comes with this beautiful sighting, the ruins still stand today!

 In the morning we went for a walk and it turned out to be a day trip of shopping! 

Whilst on our walk abouts through the town I came across this window display, which looked DELICIOUS! I couldn't help but take a few shots of the beautiful creativity. 

Whilst on our trip to Brighton we visited the beautiful Royal Pavilions. Unfortunately, your not allowed to take any pictures inside the building , but take my word for it that it is beautiful and 100% worth visiting!    The views inside are magnificent! I really wanted to show you photos of the inside, so I have some of their photos of their website which are marked as '*'

 After that, we had a long walk across the sea shore to Brighton Pier where we'd watch the sun set. 

On the way we stopped for ice cream, in the cold weather we thought it would be the best way to brighten our moods. 

I picked Bubble Gum, my favorite flavor! Mmmmm!

 We finally reached Brighton Pier, and what a beautiful view it was!

 I also bought a Brighton stick of rock, just to get me in the holiday maker mood!

  After our amazing holiday to Brighton, we had to say fair well. It was the most beautiful holiday I've ever had!

After a long journey back, I was glad to be home in my comfy bed once again.  If you've ever been on holiday to Brighton, I'd love to hear about your time there! Please leave a comment, I do love to read them! I hope you enjoyed this unusual post, I really had fun remembering the good memories there! Lots of love,
