November Favourites
I haven't been using very many new products this month so this is going to be quite a short post. Also, I'm undecided as to whether I'm going to carry on with the monthly favourites posts next year - I'm considering doing seasonal favourites posts instead. What would you prefer?

Lush Christmas Haul
Visiting Lush around Christmas has become a tradition of mine; I love using Lush products all year round but I get particularly excited when they release their Christmas range. This year I thought I would try some of the products that I haven't tried before.

October Favourites
Can you believe that it's November already? This year is going ridiculously quick and I'm not ready to think about Christmas yet! Anyway, today I've got my favourite products from October to share with you.

Vampire Halloween Makeup
For Halloween, I'm a lot more interested in what I'm going to do for my makeup than what costume I'm going to wear. I came across this Halloween makeup look on Leyla Rose's Youtube Channel and knew straight away that this was what I wanted to recreate for Halloween. I used a few different makeup products to Leyla but I followed the same sort of method.

Autumnal Lipsticks and Nail Polishes
Autumnal makeup is my favourite because you can play around with bold colours that just aren't acceptable in Spring and Summer. Today I thought I would share with you some of my favourite lipsticks and nail polishes to wear in Autumn.

September Favourites
Sorry for such a belated monthly favourites post - it won't be long till I'm posting about my October favourites! If you follow me on Twitter, then you would of seen that the wifi wasn't working properly in my new house for the first three weeks, which completely ruined my blogging schedule. Thankfully the wifi's fixed now so I can start posting weekly again. Anyway, lets get on with my September favourites...

Freshers University Advice
Over the next few weeks I'm sure many of you will be starting the next chapter of your lives; university. Heading to university is an exciting time - full of independence and opportunities - but it can also be a daunting time for many freshers. Next week I will be going back to university for my second year and I feel like I've learnt a thing or two along the way to share with you so you can make the most of first year.

August Favourites
It's the end of August already and summer is pretty much over now. Where has the time gone? In a couple of weeks I'll be back at uni and counting down the days until next summer! Anyway, I've got a selection of my favourite summer products to share with you.

Eyebrow Routine
With inspiration from Into The Gloss, I was encouraged to team up with them to write a post about my eyebrow routine and products. I was already planning on sharing this with you guys so the idea couldn't have come at a better time!

Three Nights In Brighton
Sorry for the overload of photos! Last week my family and I headed to Brighton for a few nights as none of us had been there before. Luckily, the weather was on our side and we managed to spend all three days on the beach. We also visited the Marina (which had an amazing selection of restaurants), went to the Pier, walked through The Lanes, and had a go on the British Airways i360. I hope you're all having a good summer. Are you going away anywhere?

Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
Tanya Burr is a Youtuber that I've been watching for years, so when she released her cookbook Tanya Bakes of course I was going to buy it! I've been trying lots of the recipes lately and my favourite one so far is the Chocolate Orange Cheesecake...
Sunday, 7 August 2016
July Favourites
July has been full of working, holiday planning, and holiday shopping - so I've managed to pick up a few favourites for you!
Sunday, 31 July 2016
Caseapp Phone Case and Laptop Skin
The lovely Emilia from Caseapp contacted me a few weeks ago to ask if I would like to do a blog post on some of their products. This opportunity couldn't of come at a better time because I managed to smash my previous phone case not that long ago. I had a quick scroll through the Caseapp website before deciding that this was a brand I wanted to share with you guys.

What's in my hand luggage?
With a lot of you going on holiday over the summer, I thought this would be the perfect time to share with you what I take in my hand luggage on flights. This usually varies slightly depending on whether I'm going on a long-haul or short-haul flight, so I've focused this post towards a short-haul flight because that's what I'll be taking this summer.

Lemon Cupcakes
Lately, I've been doing lots of baking in my spare time. I usually stick to chocolate or vanilla cupcakes so I thought I would try something different and bake lemon cupcakes instead. The recipe I followed was from the Primrose Bakery Cupcakes book.

June Favourites
Another month has flown by - I've been so busy working and trying not to spend my money so I don't have many favourites this month. However, I will still share with you what I have been loving and I apologise for this being such a short post.
Sunday, 26 June 2016
NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams
NYX Cosmetics are taking the UK by storm at the moment. When I (finally) saw an NYX counter in my local Boots I got a bit too excited and picked up as many of their products that I could/as many as I could justify spending my money on! I mainly bought the Soft Matte Lip Creams because I've seen lots of other bloggers raving about these ones.

Everyday Summer Makeup
I have been planning on posting an everyday summer makeup look for a while now and I've finally got round to it! During the summer I prefer to go for a more minimalistic look because I can't handle a full face of makeup in hot weather (although this isn't usually an issue in England!).

May Favourites
I have a slightly delayed May Favourites post for you today - this post was supposed to go up yesterday but I was busy moving out of my university accommodation!

Chocolate-Topped Banana Cake
For my brother's birthday last week I baked him a chocolate-topped banana cake - using a Nigella Lawson recipe. The cake was a hit with my family so I thought that I would share the recipe with you.

L'Oreal Infallible Sexy Balm
If you follow my Instagram account, you will know that I treated myself to three of the new L'Oreal Infallible Sexy Balms. I couldn't resist a 3 for 2 offer! I've been wearing them nearly every day since I picked them up so I thought that I would share my opinion of them with you.

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer
Sorry that there has not been a blog post in a while - I've been super busy with uni exams, but I have finished them now (yay!) so I'm turning my full attention towards my blog. I've got lots of exciting posts planned for over summer and I thought that I would start it off today with a review of a very popular highlighter; The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer.

April Favourites
Another month has gone by already - April felt like it went by even quicker than any of the other months! So I have a selection of favourites to share with you...

Lush Bath Bombs
Lush make my favourite bath bombs - I think they make everyone's favourites! They smell amazing and turn my bath water into pretty colours. Recently, I've been using a lot of their bubble bars, so I thought I would treat myself to a few of their bath bombs whilst I was shopping the other day.

L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara
The L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt mascara featured in my March Favourites post and I promised a full review later this month, so here it is! The past year or so I haven't bought any cheaper end mascaras because I've been really impressed with my Benefit mascaras. However, I'd seen so many pictures of people wearing this mascara and it looked amazing so I had to get it!

Victoria Sponge with Strawberries and Cream
Today I thought I'd share with you a different post to usual. I baked a Victoria Sponge and added cream and strawberries on top to make it more refreshing. The sponge turned out light, soft, and springy. The recipe I used was from 'The Cooking Book', however, I adjusted it slightly.

March Favourites
It's that time again where I reflect on what I've been loving over the past month. Unfortunately, due to being busy revising for exams, I don't have very many favourites this month, but I will still share with you the few favourites I do have...

AM & PM Routine Tag
I've never done a tag post before but I saw this one over at Blonde Ambition and thought it looked like a good 'un!

Origins Clear Improvement Face Mask
I've been on the hunt for a new face mask for some time now. Origins Clear Improvement face mask sounded perfect for my skin as its main selling point is to clear pores. This face mask is slightly pricier than the face masks I usually buy (it cost £23!) but it's also more effective at improving my skin compared to the cheaper face masks I have tried.

January Favourites
All of my posts so far have been reviews of products I have purchased, but I thought I would try something a bit different in 2016 and do monthly favourites posts to share with you what I've been loving throughout each month.

Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush
The Clarisonic cleansing brushes are something I've lusted after for a long time now, however, when I saw that feelunique.com were offering a free bottle of Foaming Sonic Facial Soap with every purchase of the Clinique Sonic System I opted for this one instead. Although the Clarisonic cleansing brushes are slightly more upmarket, the Clinique cleansing brush ticks all the boxes for me.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
I used to be someone who was constantly changing their foundation, I'd get half way through the bottle (or sometimes not even that far) and decide that I no longer liked the foundation. It went patchy, or rubbed off, or made my face look greasy, were three common problems I had with nearly all of the foundations I bought. However, I have been using Nars Sheer Glow for over a year now and I haven't experienced any of the usual problems that I have with foundations.
