September Favourites | 2016

After a while of not doing favourites, I've decided it was nice to have a chatty blog post about what I have been enjoying throughout September. I'm hoping to keep up the regular posts, as the next few months are my favourite time of the year!  

Body Products

When it comes to Soap and Glory, I fall weak on my knee's. I mean, who doesn't? Their products are out of this world!!! The Sugar Crush Body Buttercream is what I reach for most, whenever I'm in Boots. I think it's the best therapy for dry skin and for me, I suffer badly from dry skin especially in the Autumn and Winter months. It also smells AMAZING! What more do you want? 

The next moisturiser I tend to reach for quite often is the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula body lotion. I use it every day if I'm not reaching for my soap and glory set, and it soothes my skin so nicely. As I've previously said, I regularly get dry skin and this product literally nourished my skin back to health. It smoothes marks, such as stretch marks, scars etc. and tones the skin. It has done my skin wonders and looks very healthy every day, which makes me feel great :) 

I walk quite a lot, for my job as a Home care assistant I am constantly on my feet and it's started to split my skin. I apply Heel Genius every day, sometimes two times a day, depending on how sore they are. I have recently pulled off a lot of dead skin (ew!) off also and If I'm honest, this cream has allowed my feet to breathe and is slowly nourishing them back to health. As we speak, I am currently researching some new remedies to help the soreness of my feet, so if you have any suggestions, please comment some below :) 

When it comes to deodorant I am very, very picky. I have to try new stuff all the time because having the same brand constantly, breaks my underarm skin and it's very painful. Recently I have been loving, Garnier Mineral UltraDry 48H deodorant and it's made my skin softer than usual and smelt fantastic! I'd highly recommend it. It's the one deodorant I have been able to stick with all Summer into the Autumnal season and It's great. I can't see myself changing anytime soon :) 

Make-up Products

I'm no expert when it comes to putting makeup on like all these amazing beauty gurus on Youtube, but I have tried recently to reach out for new products. I have noticed as well, all my favourite makeup products are in fact by Rimmel London. I literally love their products!!

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation has been my go to foundation all of September. Usually, I go for the red-capped foundation by Rimmel, but that started feeling heavy on my skin, so I changed to Match Perfection and I'm glad I did! It's proven to be very light on my face and hasn't created any rough patches on my cheeks, like other foundations, have in the past, so this foundation is a massive difference. I use the 100 Ivory shade, as my tan has now vanished and I need a bit of colour in my face. 

Another product by Rimmel I have been loving is the Wake me up Concealer. Due to my job, I rarely sleep for 8 hours anymore and always seem to have dark circles under my eyes and it's hideous. So using this concealer helps me feel confident that it's masking up the tiredness underneath my eyes which is such a great feeling. I use this in the shade 010 Ivory, similar to my foundation and it blends in super well!

I don't like to 'draw' on my eyebrows, like what even is that and why is it a popular thing?? Filling them is what I see most people do and I think that's more acceptable as I use the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil 001 Black, as it isn't too dark on my brows but gives them the boost they need in order to finish my makeup look. I also love the little brush on the end that may or may not have been the reason I bought it... ha!!

Books & Music

Throughout August beginning of September, I went through a break up that kind of pushed me back into a never ending circle of hating who I was. After a while of feeling gloomy, I decided to start reading in order to focus my mind on something else.

I began to read a book my mum loaned me called A Place to Call Home by Carole Matthews. It helped with focusing my mind and quite frankly it helped me find some peace with the recent events and I couldn't be happier for it. :) The book itself is so beautiful and the story is something you imagine as a little girl... Maybe in the future when I've completely finished it, I will do a book review or something. Definitely, a good read especially to escape real life situations. 

Since x-factor 2012 I've been a huge fan of James Arthur. He randomly disappeared from the limelight until recently and I jumped for joy when he made his big comeback! His new single Say You Won't Let Go literally gave me goosebumps when I first heard it. 

It's taken me a while to publish this, because soon I'll be doing my October favourites ha! But here are the few things I've been loving! there was a lot more but I didn't want to make the post super-long as my first official post back. 

Much Love,

November Favourites | 2015

It's that time of month again, where sharing my favourites things rises to the surface. Compared to last month, I have had my eye on music as November for me, was a good time for everyone to release some incredible tunes!

Soap & Glory | Sugar Crush Body Buttercream 

When it comes to moisturisers I am very picky with what goes near my skin on a daily basis. Introducing this Soap and Glory product to my skin a few months ago, was really amazing for my skin. Back in Summer, when we did get sunshine, I had to put a fair amount on due to my skin reacting to the sun (getting sunburn/tan) and it just made my skin so much more softer, smelt amazing & kept my skin healthy. As we are now in Winter, I started using it again recently as in colder months, my skin tends to get SO dry, but applying this body butter-cream has made stopped my skin getting dry and all sand-papery. 

Soap & Glory | Sugar Crush Body Wash 

I have also got back into using this delightful body wash. It's the same scent as my moisturiser as I just can't get enough of it, apparently. Whilst in the bath or shower, I use this because sometimes the water sends my skin all dry and gross, however, the body wash has also stopped my skin being so dry & after use, my skin feels incredibly soft, as it also moisturises the skin, leaving it sooooooo soft!

Nivea Fruity Lip Shine 

During the Winter months, it's hard to keep my lips from cracking and being chapped. A few months ago, when I had the flu, I came across the Nivea Fruity Lip Shine (Watermelon) and it comforts my lips and keeps them smooth, crack-free and smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G :) Out of the majority of lip products I have used in the past, I believe that this one is definitely my favourite, especially in Winter. I couldn't find the watermelon one on the Boots website, so I've linked a similar one above.

Scottish Fine Soaps | Sea Kelp Moisturiser 

I've had this small moisturiser given to me as something to take to University in my First year, however, I just thought it was a tester of some kind and didn't think to look more into it. Sea kelp moisturiser is one of my all time favourite body creams, due to how soft it keeps my hands, my face etc. I don't use it all the time, but now I've found their website, I shall be purchasing the Sea Kelp 300ml bottle (linked above) to last me through the winter months. It practically eats up dry skin, which for me, is amazing!!

Lush Facemask | Cupcake 

My lush facemask has undoubtedly made it to my favourites again, as I just can't get enough of it. It has appeared a lot on my blog recently, so I'll keep this to a minimum, BUY SOME OF IT, and just watch your skin improve after the first few times of wearing it. My skin is a lot more glowing and soft because of it. One of my all time favourites from Lush, did I mention.. it smells INCREDIBLE?!

Moving on to some random favourites, I have been loving SO MUCH music this month! Like, the charts have been full with great songs and albums on spotify.. I'm just IN LOVE for sure. 

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the outstanding comeback of Justin Bieber... I have ALWAYS loved his music, like since he first appeared with his first album. This album is one of my all time favourites as every song, is just, flawless and relatable. I love songs I can relate to, like, Justin has nailed the bud if you ask me. My favourite song(s) off his new album are 'Love yourself' & 'I'll show you', these songs just speak a thousand words and just put into lyrical form, everything I want to tell people. It's amazing & I couldn't be happier for his success. You can find his new Album here: Justin Bieber | Purpose

Hello... it's me.. 

Now if you haven't heard this AMAZING song by Adele, you really are missing out. The first day it was released me and my housemate were instantly hooked. I'm glad she's back with new music, it's been way too long!! Her song, 'Hello' for me, is something I can relate to with my past of having a hard time. If anything it helps me look back on this year as a whole and remain thankful for the journey I've taken. So a BIG thank you to this lovely lady for making an amazing appearance with her music :P You can find her album here: Adele | 25 

Another album I have had on repeat throughout the month is Selena Gomez - Revival. I'm not really a big fan for her music, but her new album gives the title justice. I am IN LOVE with her voice throughout the album, especially in her two songs 'Same Old Love' & 'Sober'. You can find her new album here: Selena Gomez | Revival 

That's all I have been loving throughout November, what have you been loving? I'd love to check out some recommendations :)
