Current Favourites!


Hello Everybody!

Welcome to June! May has gone by so quickly its unbelievable. I feel like it was Christmas only last week. I've got a very different blog post for you today which is something entirely different from what I usually post. Today I bring to you my Current Favourites!


To begin, my first favourite has to be the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes. A NYX counter recently opened up in a Boots close to me and I was so excited! I picked up two Soft Matte Lip Creames; one in Milan and the other in Cannes. Milan is an extremely bright pink, and Cannes is a brown toned red colour. I really like these as I don't think they are as heavy as a normal liquid lipstick, yet they are opaque and long lasting once they have dried. The formulation is creamy but dries a solid matte, I also do not find them drying on my lips which I was very happy about. Overall, I really do love them. Cannes is my personal favourite of the two as I feel it is more wearable for every day. 

(£5.50)


My second favourite has to be my pair of black linen dungarees. I absolutely love these, I first bought them to wear on a meal out and also for a summer trip to Poland I am going on with school which is something I really do love about these- you are able to dress them up or down! Not only do they look really lovely in my opinion, they are very comfortable to wear. They are from New Look. 



Another recent favourite of mine has been the Molton Brown Pink Peppercorn Body Scrub. I received this as a Christmas present from my aunt and uncle but have not been wanting to use it for fear of running out! This polish is not too abrasive and leaves you smelling wonderful. I would highly recommend this scrub.



I have been absolutely loving High Beam by Benefit too! I also got this for Christmas and have loved it ever since I first tried it, especially these past few months. It is simply wonderful. The cream highlighter can be blended under or over foundation, leaving you with a subtle healthy glow which I have received compliments for. 


Above is an unblended thick swatch of High Beam. Below is a similar sized swatch blended with my finger tips. 

To blend High Beam, I have recently been love, love, loving the Stippling Brush by Real Techniques. This is such a versatile brush which I have previously used for foundation and concealer too, It really buffs in cream products and leaves you with an almost photo-shopped finish. I also find that this brush does not get clogged with product and need washing once you have used it a couple of times! (Although I do recommend washing your make-up brushes weekly if you use them regularly.)



Another recent favourite has to be the TV show "Summer Heights High." This BBC3 series first aired in 2008 but was put on BBC iPlayer in the past two weeks. It is a parody of secondary school life in Australia, following three people at the school for one term. Firstly, Jonah Takalua who is a Year 8 pupil who cannot read and is rebellious. Secondly, Ja'mie King. She is an exchange pupil from her private school Hillford Girls Grammar who is experiencing public school life for the first time. And finally, Mr. G who is a drama teacher appointed the head of drama. This series is hilarious and has two sequels which aired in the past two years:  "Ja'mie: Private School Girl." and "Jonah from Tonga." 


Finally, I have been really loving "fun."'s music. Some personal favourites from the album "Some Nights" include the song, "Some Nights" , "All Alone" and "Carry On."




Thank you for reading, I hope to see you soon with a new blog post!
See you soon,
