August Favourites

                                                             

I didn't get the chance to do a July favourites as I was so no well I didn't actually buy anything new or use anything to say it was my favourite that month.  I cannot believe we are into September, I know everyone has been saying its flew in so I'm glad it's not just me! Can't believe it's 4 month to Christmas, I remember last christmas as if it was only the other month! Anyway my August favourites are as follows

Barry M gelly nail paint - since I bought my first one in June I have been loving these so much and have bought another three in shades , Greenberry,papaya and blue grape. I really recommend these they have such a great colour range and quality and are a good price.  You can pick these up from superdrug or boots for £3.99 (Superdrug are doing 3 for 2 on Barry M & Boots are doing buy one get one half price on Barry M nails)

Papaya & silver multi glitter 

Barry M nail paint, Silver multi glitter - this is my first barry m glitter polish and I can't believe I've been missing out ! I'm always so disappointed with glitter nail polish but this didn't disappoint at all. I use this for just an accent nail on each hand as it gives a full on glitter nail with two coats it's  completely opaque. I can't wait to pick up more. You can pick this up from Superdrug or Boots for £2.99 

(Superdrug are doing 3 for 2 on Barry M & Boots are doing buy one get one half price on Barry M nails)

Simple cleansing lotion - i bought this a while back but only started using it in August as my hot cloth cleanser ran out. It's actually a really good cleanser and as you would expect from Simple it's gentle on the skin and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. You can pick this up from Superdrug and Boots for £2.99 ( Superdrug have this on offer for £1.99 at the moment)

Dove beauty hand cream - I always moisture my face and body but I always forget about my hands and so I decided to buy a hand cream to try and get into the habit of moisturising my hands.  This one from dove is actually really good, sometimes my hands can feel tight and dry but this has sorted it right out, it's fast absorbing and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy. You can pick this up from Superdrug & Boots for £3.49 (Superdrug have Dove hand creams on offer for £1.79)

Favourite Hair Products...

                            

My favourite hair products at the moment are as follows. 

Superdrug dry shampoo - I was needing a new dry shampoo and came across this on buy one get one free offer so thought I'd give it a go. They have 6 different fragrances so I picked floating on a breeze and head in the clouds and they are lovely and not to much of a heavy sent for something for your hair. I really like this dry shampoo and it does what it's meant to and also doesn't leave a white powdery colour when I've sprayed it so can't say anything bad about this products. You can pick this up from superdrug for £1.99 and at the moment Superdrug are doing buy 2 for £3

Percy & Reed finishing polish - on the back it says " this gentle styler containing horse chestnut extract gives you a soft,flexible hold while sunflower wax gently moisturises"

I got this free from glamour magazine a while back and have only recently started trying it out and I really like it. I usually just put a pea sized amount in my hands and rub together and distribute through the ends of my hair once I've straightened it to help keep flyaways away and it does the job and it also comes in handy to use instead of hairspray when I have my hair up in a pony. 

I've had a look online and you can pick this up from www.beautybay.com for £8.50 (usually £10.00) with free delivery. 

Argan oil conditioner - Ive been wanting to try something with Argan oil in it for a while so when I seen this I thought I'd give this one a go. I'm not sure how much percentage there is of Argan oil but I'm not really to bothered as I really liked this anyway, my hairs in pretty bad condition at the moment due to bleaching my hair the other month so I've been looking for stuff to help give it some shine and make it feel a bit less dry and this conditioner definitely helps with the dry part of my problem. I also seen there is a shampoo and a little bottle of oil in the range so I think I'm going to pick those up and give them a go. I got this from Savers for £1.00 and Ive also seen the range in Home Bargains although I am unsure of the price but I'm pretty sure it will be round the £1 mark anyway.

My addictions... Boxsets

I thought I would start getting back into the swing of things on my blog by doing something different and telling you about my two favourite boxsets. 

Sex & the city - I never actually watched sex and the city but after watching the two films and loving them I decided I needed to watch the programme and got the boxset for Christmas and i was addicted! id set out to only watch one or two and then end up watching a full disc haha. I'm pretty sure most people have watched the programme or heard of it so probably no need to talk about what its about but I totally recommend it for people who haven't watched it,  it makes you laugh, it makes you cry, you find yourself agreeing on most of the talk about men and seeing all carries pretty fashion choices is a pretty good bonus in my books too. 

Ghost whisperer - my mum had watched all this on tv and recommended it to me so I picked up each series one by one from eBay for a couple of pounds each. I literally watched all 5 series within like two month I was addicted, I sometimes actually sat up to all hours just lying in bed watching it (living the exciting life haha) it follows the life of a woman named Melinda, who seems to have a pretty normal life except for the fact that from a young age she has been able to see and speak to ghosts. She uses her "gift" to help ghosts who have been earthbound because of something holding them back so she helps give them closure by speaking to their loved ones or what not and get them to cross over into the light. It's a brilliant programme and I no doubt will start watching it again soon and I really recommend it if you are looking for something new to watch but be warned you'll need tissues at times. 

I would probably have to say as much as I love sex and the city ghost whisperer is probably my most favourite boxset so far. I am on the hunt for a new programme to start watching so any recommendations are welcome.

It's been a while.

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've wrote any posts which saddens me ! I really haven't been well at all since June so haven't been up to doing very much. I just wanted to let whoever reads this know that I will be back with posts in the next few days as I'm slowly but surely getting better ( I hope) and I haven't forgot about my wee blog. 

Thank you for reading.

Maybelline...Eye Studio Gel Liner

This was the first gel eyeliner I have tried and I love it. At first when I took it out the packet I nearly had a heart attack because of how small it is but it actually lasts a very long time. The first one I bought was over a year ago and I've only just recently had to repurchase it and that was with me using it maybe 4-5 times a week. It comes with a brush to apply the eyeliner which is good and this is the brush I use to apply it. The eyeliner itself is amazing! I have it in black but there are a few other colours like brown and black silver. I find it easy to apply as it glides on and it gives a bold black line that lasts all day without fading or smudging. It is the perfect eyeliner ! 

You can pick this up from superdrug and boots for £7.99.

Glamour magazine with freebie !

Another issue, another freebie which I thought I'd let you's know about.  Augusts issue comes with a free balance me item. You have a choice of body wash,face wash,face cream and tinted lip salve. I picked up the face cream as I've had the face wash before and wasn't a fan and unfortunately I'm not a fan of the face cream, I only got the magazine today and haven't actually tried out the cream but I really cannot stand the smell so I will not be using it ! It may be good for the skin but I guess I will never know unless I can find a way to put up with the smell. The magazine isn't due out till Monday the 8th but it was in my local shop today. It's back up to its normal price of £2 but still a bargain. 

Thank you for reading.

June Favourites

My first favourites post and im late with it not the best start! I've not been very well at the moment so I apologise for the lack of posts, anyway back to the task in hand. I have actually been really good in June with spending money on make up etc as I've had so much stuff to pay for and save up for I sadly haven't had the funds to fuel my addiction so I have added two of my favourites from June that aren't beauty related. 

Maybelline mega plush mascara - so glad I tried this mascara I'm loving it and think I will be for a good while. You can pick this up from superdrug or boots for £7.99 (superdrug are doing buy one get one half price on maybelline at the moment) 

Superdrug vitamin e night cream - makes my skin feel so nice and soft and helped clear up my dry patches. You can pick this up for £2.99 (they are doing 3 for 2 on the vitamin E range at the moment)

Superdrug vitamin e scrub - bought this with the night cream mentioned above to try help get the rid of my dry skin. Does the job without being to harsh on my skin and leaves my face feeling clean and soft. You can pick this up from superdrug for £2.99 (they are doing 3 for 2 at the moment on the vitamin E range at the moment) 

Aussie 3 min miracle shine - I had bleached my dyed black hair so my hair was in an awful state and lacking shine so thought I'd try an aussie product as I've heard such great things about this brand. I really like this conditioner, it leaves my hair feeling smooth and gives it a lovely shine and it smells AMAZING which is a big bonus. Can't wait to try out other aussie products. You can pick this up from superdrug for £3.50 (they are doing 2 for £6.00 at the moment) 

 And two random favourites 

An app I only discovered at the end of the month is minion rush. I love the first despicable me film (big kid) and seeing the second this week so this game got me all excited haha. It's the same idea as temple run but a little bit more exciting I think and I'm addicted to trying to beat my best score ! You can get this from the App Store (not sure if its on android) for free !

Even more random than an app is Oreo cones. I seen these in tesco the other week and knew I had to have them. I can honestly say I'm addicted to them and had two one right after the other (bad me) you can get a box of 4 from tesco for £1.24 (go back up to £2.49 on the 8th of July)
