February favourites

The first week of March is almost over so it is time for February favourites! (Late as always, sorry about that...)

• Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation - The amount of people I've heard raving about this foundation is unbelievable! I was very excited to try it and I have to admit, it didn't let me down. I'd say it's medium coverage, easy to apply and buildable so if you're like me who doesn't like full on foundation you're going to love this. It also smells delicious which is just an added plus, but I'd definitely recommend this product!

• Boyfriend style coat - I've wanted to get a coat like this for ages and with this purchase from Primark I think I made an absolute bargain! It was only £10 (TEN!!!), down from £26 and I've been wearing it all day all night in the past few weeks. Such a classic piece, so easy to wear and although I kinda wanted a different colour for spring I'm happy really happy with this coat.

• Fruit infuser water bottle - I love lemon water and it's super healthy as well, so an absolute win-win situation. While some people might think this bottle is useless I don't think it is, it was my obsession this month. It can be super expensive in store, but go have a look on Ebay, you won't regret it!

• Going to the gym - Yes ladies (& gentlemen), I started properly going to the gym in January and became even more active in February. At first it was a real struggle to get myself out of bed and drag my body to the gym (even though it takes about 10 minutes to get there) but nowadays I'm enjoying it more and more. I don't even have to force myself to go and it always makes me feel good. Here's the playlist I made on 8tracks, I find that it really pumps me up and helps me work out! [ x ]

More things I loved this month:

• Red Velvet Cookies from Tesco's - honestly, they're heaven on Earth!
• Having more no/minimal makeup days
• More karaoke and movie nights with my flatmates

 I hope you could relate to some of these things, let me know what you enjoyed in February!

P.s.: I didn't want to include more clothing items because I have a haul coming up, I just need someone to help me take the photos, so bear with me! xx

January Favourites

The first post of the new month can only mean one thing: MONTHLY FAVOURITES TIME! Let's see a list (in no particular order) of bits and bobs I've been loving in January.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow - in Creamy Beige
Loving these cream eyeshadow is definitely nothing new or surprising, everyone loves a bit of On and On Bronze. However, this month I've been all about Creamy Beige. Most of the time I've been wearing it on its own, blended out with my Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush and winged eyeliner. I really like how it isn't a shimmery shade, it gives a leathery look just as it states on the lid.

Rimmel Brow This Way Gel 
I don't need to say too much, just a nice product to set those nicely filled brows when you need it.

Makeup Academy Matte Lipstick - in Fawn Fancy
Such a nice,wearable matte nude from the high street that doesn't make me look washed out or dead. It's ridiculously cheap and although it doesn't last for ages, you have to touch it up quite often I like this lipstick A LOT.

8tracks playlists
If you've never heard of 8tracks before, you seriously need to download it! Whenever I can't fall asleep I just put a nice playlist on and it helps me. This has been one of my favourites in the past few weeks. You can find great songs you've never heard before or just listen to something new when you're fed up of your usual music.

The Bloglovin' app
Ever since I downloaded this app and started following all these super cool blogs I've been hooked on it. I love how it sends you notifications if anyone on your following list posts something, it's great to keep yourself updated.

Primark bedding
I think the picture speaks for itself, it's such a pretty bedding and an absolute bargain for £9, well done Primark!

Making lists
I'm quite an organised person and this month I've returned to my old habit: list making. With my new blog being up and running I finally started using this amazing notebook my lovely friend Leonie made me to keep post ideas, etc. in it.

That's it for my January favourites, hope you enjoyed this post! :)
