Kate Moss Matt Lipstick - Shade 111

I adore this lipstick! It's all I've been wearing recently, it's a wonderful colour. The fact it's matt is even better, for example if I'm wearing it all day at college and don't get change to reapply it has generally stayed on my lips for the full day, Obviously it's a little patchy and my lips are dry but the colour is still there. I love it!

S&G Hand Food

This is my cute sample sized hand food. I work at a fast food company and dry hands are a nightmare plus my hands do smell! I put this on every morning and night and my hands feel amazingly soft and the mix of the cream is rather thick and sinks in ever so well.

VO5 Smoothly Does it

This is the hair serum I apply before drying my hair and it smells great. Plus it makes my hair feel silky smooth after use. Out of all the 'heat defense' products they have to offer, I'd have to say this is my favorite so far!

Avon Super Length Mascara

Yes this is a cheap 'un but my lashes with this look amazing. They look well spaced and incredibly long, the best thing is the mixture doesn't clump on my eyelashes. Think it's become a firm favorite.

And last but not least...

My big glass memory jar. Now it looks as if I have hardly any recorded, that's because I write them all down in a little notebook and then when I have time copy then up on to ripped paper to pop in the jar. I've really enjoyed jotting things down in the last month, I can't wait to go through them all again!

Hello Sunday!

Yay it's finally Sunday one of the best days on the week - apart from Friday. For a change I'm not actually at work today, how lovely! I'm either going to be spending the day catching up on some good 'ol books and watching some films. I may even be seeing my dad today however I'm not too sure. I've had a rather lovely week spent mostly at college but also with my lovely boyfriend. He came to my house one night and brought me a gorgeous little surprise in the shape of flowers. I've never actually been given flowers so it was a lovely little treat.

I had a day off this Thursday due to college training days and what not so I spent it at my boyfriends making a little  ginger bread house and brownies! They tasted so divine but you wouldn't tell from the picture. I've got a busy week coming up - Assessment Week! 3 hour blocks of all my college lessons but apart from that I get all of Thursday and Friday off which is quite wonderful I have to admit.  I also got paid this week and I'm sat to sad it's all gone this week. Boohoo, however I did buy this gorgeous coat, I literally fell in love with it!

What I've Been Loving This Week

(s) 

This is such a cute & wonderful idea. I'd love to do this for my boyfriend at Christmas!

How wonderful is this?? I love cats so if I had a kitchen this would definitely be up!

Like I said I have a big week ahead of me so instead films and reading I'll probably be revising hard later today! However I can't wait until next payday which is just under a week and a bit away! I'm getting quite a big chunk this time round so it'll be mass Christmas shopping for me! I'm ever so excited and I've already got my lists for everyone planned and maybe a cheeky little giveaway for you all.

How are you spending your Sunday?

my monthly loves #1

Lip Balms

 Lip balms have been my absolute favorite this month! It's getting even colder outside which means my lips are even more sore. Over this year I've built up quite a little collection of mine and sometimes I'll use one for ages and then I'll swap which really is my downfall because I end up buying more and more of them and I don't really need them. However out of my small batch at the moment I think the Cocoa Butter and the Paperchase lemon balm's are my favorites. The both smell amazing and moisturize my lips really well!

My new iPod 160GB classic.

This right here is my new baby. Literally, I bought it with my birthday money I got last week and I only got chance it play with it and actually open it yesterday! It was certainly money well spent as I have been lusting after one of these for about a year now. I can now spend the rest of my life trying to fill up all 160GB of it, wish me luck! :-)

Birthday Presents!

This month I finally turned 17 and I got some lovely presents because of it. Above I think are my favorites! I got the gorgeous perfume of my lovely boyfriend and the cute little lip balm, sweets and Lush goody from my best friend. I had a wonderful day and I got lots of lovely little things.

♡♡♡♡ 

What I've been reading: His Dark Materials Trilogy - Philip Pullman, Artemis Fowl Series - Eoin Colfer. Next on my list is the amazing Casual Vacancy - JK Rowling, so excited to start it!

Songs I've been listening too: New iPod always means new music! Mainly The Rocky Horror Soundtrack in preparation for next April when I go to the theater show. However not much music has taken my fancy this month.

September Favorites

Okay so I have two main favorites from last month, my gorgeous parker coat and some make up which I've recently been using. 

Soap & Glory - The Righteous Butter 50ml- £2.50 // 300ml - £10.50

I've talked about this product on here before but I just can't get enough of it. When I do have chance to use it I smother myself with it. It smells so amazing and because the mixture is so thick it takes a while to seep into the skin but when it has my skin feels so wonderful! Always so smooth and so soft, it's what you want in a body butter and I definitely think it's worth the price tag. 

MUA - Immaculate Collection £8

Now I originally got this product for free because I spent £8+ on MUA products and when it arrived I didn't give it a second look as I'd bought the Undress palette but this month I've paid a little more attention to it and just wow. Some of the shades are amazing on this palette. All really well pigmented and when they go on the actual eye the colour is amazing and they don't fade really quickly like other eye shadows. It's such a gorgeous palette! I plan to use it more in the future, get one while you can! 

Matalan Parker £32
Now I know monthly favorites are mainly about cosmetics and make up but I had to pop this one in. I'm aware these aren't on sale anymore because they literally sold out which makes me love mine even more. I had been on the hunt for one of these for a while and this one was cheap, comfy and incredibly warm! It has a lovely big fur hood and lots of deep pockets. Winter has only just started but I know this jacket is going to do me well in the even colder months. I love it!

August Favorites

So another end of the month gone I see! Where has August gone, literally?! It's now the 2nd of September and wow, this year has flown. Anyway, I've never actually done a monthly favorites post, mainly because I've never used quite enough products to love but I though 'hey why not!' My favorite parts for this month has to be getting my results and actually getting into college as well as finding a part time job! Over the moon I am, but also my college shopping, which you will all see later this week. Anyway roll on September and whatever it brings with it! 

Sublime Star Flowers & Pomegranate Shower Cream

Now I've been buying this a lot recently due to being away from home on holiday and staying over places and such. Normally I just buy a cheap shower gel and I'm done with it. But we've had this at my house for a while and I thought oh I'll just get this a try it. It smells amazing, it goes on and lathes up lovely even with the smallest amount. 

Soap & Glory Mist You Madly

I've had this since February this year and use it every day almost and it's still not empty. I'm normally a perfume girl but when I was bought this for Valentine's I couldn't help using it in place of perfume. It's a sweet girly smelling body spray that stays on for hours it seems. I'm not great with expensive products but this is cheap for the time it lasts!

MUA Glitter Ball Palette

Now everyone has been raving over MUA's 'Heaven and Earth' palette which I haven't had chance to use yet. I bought this on a whim, all the colors looked really nice and glittery. And it paid off, the colors go on really nicely, not too thick and blend really well with other colors on the palette, also they stay on quite well during the day. Perfect for everyday eye make up. 

MUA Red Lipstick - Shade 13

This was also bought on a whim, I've never actually fully used a lipstick but this one is one it's way. Simple and easy to apply, no smudges and stays on quite a while. However after applying it all the time during the day it does start to run a a little but what can you expect from a £1 lipstick? It's perfect for a vibrant shade for everyday use, I know I use it pretty much every day.

Collection 2000 'Fake Lashes' Mascara

This is a daily use for me too, even with no eye make up or powder I apply this and it alone spruces up my face. I have naturally long lashes anyway but this makes them look even nice. The price is quite reasonable and this has lasted me quite long, so I can't complain about it. My favorite mascara to date. The first one I had was a gift and I'm so glad I received it. 

Now on to the blogs I've been loving this month...

Daily Hoot is run by an amazing girl called Vicky. She blogs life, wishlists, beauty and fashion. I adore her posts, I always enjoy reading them because their interesting, informative and just lovely to read. I found this through a Liebester nominated when I first started blogging and followed straight away. She seems like a lovely girl and even with the age gap she seems like a really easy girl to get along with. Vicky can be found here. 

Futures is run by a lovely girl called Bex. I only recently started following this lovely blog this month but I love every single post. I especially enjoy 'Love, Like Loathe' which she runs every Monday and get other bloggers to do and link up, which I really enjoy doing. I found her through another bloggers twitter. She blogs about life, make up and cosmetics and her posts are really well written and intresting to read. Bex can be found here.
