What I'm loving this week.

So I thought I'd share a few beauty and non beauty favourites of mine from the last couple of weeks.

First up is the egg house that my Dad and step mum brought myself and my flatmate for Christmas after me saying I liked theirs. It's looks super cute on our side. 

Also the heart shaped white ramekins they brought us too. They also have matching ones! 

I'm also loving my Urban fudge dry shampoo and hairspray. These smell amazing!!! And really work well. Definately will repurchase once I've run out! 

Next up are my boots from Primark. I brought these a few months back and I love them! They are so easy to wear with anything and everything! 

I love the gold hardware and actually prefer the worn in look they have now. 

I'm really loving scarves at the moment as the weather has got chillier. 

A couple of my favourites at the moment are this one from primark, I love the colour and it's super snuggly! 

Also this blue and green pashmina type which I got from H&M years ago and recently rediscovered it. Here's me wearing it today. 

These a just a few things that I'm loving at the moment. 

What are you loving?

I Love New Things!

So after a very expensive month being December what with Christmas and New Years Eve I haven't been able to get everything I need this month so far... When I say need... I definitely mean want...

However! I have managed to pick up a few new products that I'm excited to start using! 

Firstly, I genuinely did need a new liquid eyeliner... Mine had started to make my eyes sting which is never good! 

I picked up this one from Soap and Glory. It's the Super Cat in Carbon Black and was a steal at £6!

I wore this when I went to my friends wedding reception at the weekend and I loved how easy it was to apply. It glides so smoothly over my eyelid and was super easy to do a cat eye. 

Next up I picked up a couple of Lush products after being recommended them on Twitter by my local store. 

Everyone knows how much I rate their Lip Scrubs having loved the Bubblegum flavoured one for a couple of years now. 

So I picked up the new flavour, 'The Kiss' and it smells soooo good! 

It's very sweet like the Bubblegum one but in a slightly different way, it's hard to describe! 

I also picked up the 'Honey Trap' lip balm  as recommended by them following my blog about High Street Lip Balms. This again smells amazing! 

Can't wait to start using it!

Lastly, I brought some MAC lipstick, because a girl has got to treat herself every now and again. 

I actually brought these from a friend who had purchased the wrong colour and didn't use them, but had lost her receipt to return them. Perfect for me though! 

It's from the Amplified line in the shade 'Impassioned' and is a gorgeous pinky red. I also picked up a lip liner to go with it which is in the shade 'Dynamo'.

I'm loving these together and intend to use this a lot over the coming months. Including my Birthday as it is Valentines Day and I think this is the perfect Valentines colour. 

I also recently purchased a couple of quad palettes to transfer some of my potted MAC shadows into to make it easier to take round with me. 

At the same time I brought a shadow to go straight in and went with 'Naked Lunch'.

It's a gorgeous neutrally champagney shade and I've been wearing it a lot! It's definitely become my go to shade for day time along with using it to highlight under my brow with a night time look. 

Have you brought any new products recently? Any recommendations?

High Street Lip Balm Faves

So... It's that time of year when we are all reaching for our lip balms a hell of a lot more!

I know I am! 

For some reason this year more so than before too... Unsure what that's all about?! 

So I thought I would share my fave High Street Lip Balms to help soothe your lips too! 

Now, I haven't tried many High End ones so I am unable to compare, and I'm sure there are many fantastic ones out there. But if you're like me and tend to have one in your handbag, car, room and at work too... It can get a little pricey anyway, let alone with higher end stuff! 

Firstly I try (I do try really hard to remember every morning but inevitably forget) to remember to use my Lush Lip Scrub. 

I have the bubblegum one and I've spoken about my love for this product. Having now converted a fair few friends in the past month or so too! 

This helps make your lips super soft and gives a fab base for your balm to be able to actually work and soak into them properly. 

The fact that you get to lick it off is just a massive bonus! 

Now... My most favourite ever ever ever has to be Carmex. 

Everyone knows this about me, and again, over the years I have managed to convert many friends and family members to its greatness. 

I personally don't mind whether it's in the original tub form or if it's the squeezy tube... As you can see! 

However... Regarding flavour... I am a little fussy... Only in that I can't seem to get along with the Mint one... This is very unfortunate, but I comfort myself with the gorgeous strawberry or cherry ones and then I don't feel sad. 

I feel that Carmex is the only balm I've found to actually do the job on my lips... Although I do switch it up every now and then because I lose the tingling sensation and feel like my lips become kind of immune to it if that's even possible? 

I also love to use this underneath lipgloss as I find most lip glosses rather sticky, and this way it keeps it from being too much.

It's generally around the £2/£2.50 mark and you can find it everywhere including Primarni now. It's also got SPF 15 which is an added bonus. 

They have also brought out a tinted range but personally I don't like them. Each to their own I guess, but I will stick with these thank you! 

Next up is a Nivea Stick balm. I will generally use this when it's windy or on the go/in a rush as I always end up squeezing half a tube of my Carmex out! What a waste! 

I do really like it as a balm, it's very moisturising, although I sometimes feel it can feel a bit greasy after a while. 

This again can be found in most shops and is around £1.50/£2, and has a SPF of 20 too.

Nivea also have a tinted range which I do actually like, and used to use the light pink shimmery one regularly. 

I may have to repurchase this! 

Lastly is good old Vaseline. I personally prefer this Rose one as I feel it isn't as industrial feeling as the original blue one. Maybe that's just because it's pink... Who knows? 

It definitely gives a nice hint of colour to your lips, although I'm not sure how much it works on my lips unfortunately. Although I still buy it, so it must be doing something right! 

What are your favourites? 

Much Love,
