♥ My Go-To Products ♥

Hello :)

I never normally do favourites posts, for one reason; I tend to like a lot of products each month, so it'd take me aaaageessss to reel them all off into a post. Yup, i'm one of them people who likes to use different products each day/week by doing this i discover products i once loved and regenerate my adoration for them . . . . . however the month of August was a tad different, i stuck to a daily routine so obviously these products must be my favourites. :)


1. GOSH Professional Art Make Up Brush
I'm not sure which GOSH brush this is as it doesn't say anything on the brush and its not on the website either, which is very helpful! I got it for Christmas a couple of years back so it may have been discontinued or something . . . Anywho, this month i've been using this brush for a multitude of things, the brushes slightly curve in the the tip of the brush which is fab for contouring, i also use this brush for applying blusher to the apples of my cheeks and applying face powder too. Its a fab all in one brush for me and makes my make up application much quicker in the morning, rather than chopping and changing brushes every minute!

2. Maybelline New York Eye Studio 05 Glamour Browns
I love my neutral eyeshadows, i find they suit my skintone more than vivid rainbow colours, so when i was struggling what to buy for the 3 for 2 offer at Boots (i think this deal has ended now :( ) i saw this quad and headed over to the till with my other 2 products. To be fair i didn't expect much from this quad, how wrong was i?! Its fairly pigmented for the price (£6.99) all 4 colours when applied create a sultry brown smokey eye, the staying power is also really good.

3. Sleek Face Contour Kit in Light
Sleek is a brand which i would of probably strolled past in Superdrug if i wasn't a beauty blogger. I think its very much underestimated by people who are not beauty bloggers, which sucks for them as they are missing out on a fab brand!

The Contour Kit is simply amazing, there are 2 products inside - a matte brown contour colour and a shimmery highlight. The contour is highly pigmented and i would say its definately on par with the quality of Benefit's Hoola, the only difference is the price tag - Benefit Hoola £23.50 Sleek Contour Kit £6.99 . . .

The highlight is also very pigmented, and i mean VERY, i put a swipe of it down my nose and it was just a visable streak of shimmery-ness, so apply with a light hand!!

4. Topshops Creme Blush in Neon Rose
When Topshops MU range was released it was all systems go in the blogging world, and i too bought 2 lippies and a creme blush. The lippies are gorgeous (review hereeee!) but the blush took some getting used to seeing as it was my first creme blush. However now that i've got the application down to a T i've been using this blushe everyday! It lies on the skin as a coral pinky colour and when blended in you are left with a subtle coral glow. Next on my list is an Illamasqua creme blush, need to start saving my pennies!!

5. Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara in Black
I'm not going to deny that i'm a bit of a mascara addict, i think i've tried most on the drugstore market but i always return back to my trusty Sexy Curves. The curved wand gives my lashes lots of length and quite a bit of volume too, but the one thing that i love the most about this mascara is that it doesn't clump! You see, i have quite a lot of lashes which all sit quite close together and most mascaras unfortunately just gather them all up together into a clumpy mess, but the Sexy Curves defines each lash and really emphasises them all.

6. Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Hydrating Care
I was sent this product to review during August and have used it everyday since i recieved it. I'm not gonna say too much about it as i'm currently writing up a review on it, however i will say - it makes my skin feel SO soft after using it, also i use it under my foundation so my skin is left with a dewy glowy look.

7. Elle Magazine (random fave!)
This magazine has never been far from my side, i loved the D&G interview and there are some b.e.a.utiful photoshoots in there too, go chekck it out if you haven't already!

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

HAIR

I've been flaunting my hair au natural lately, basically i step in the shower, shampoo and condition then i simply towel dry my hair briefly and apply my everfaithful Label M Volume Foam and my sisters GOSH Salt Of Mine Saltwater and after some vigorous scrunching i simply leave it to dry and voila i have beachy wavy hair - with no heat ruining my lockes! Winner. ;)

Oh, and as you can see in the photo above, i've been opting for a centre parting recently too, very Kim Kardashian!

I love Label M!

Hello,

Label M are a professional hair care brand which are stocked at many hair salons and can also be purchased online.

I personally came across the range when i was having my routine hair cut at Toni and Guy, my hair looked volumized yet smooth and when i asked the hairdresser what products she used on my lockes, she replied 'Label M Volume Foam' and the rest as they say is history . . .

Since that fateful day i have grown quite a Label M collection, so i will quickly run through them and tell you the ins and outs of them all -

Label M Volume Foam £11.00

This does exactly what it says on the tin, it volumizes my hair with it feeling sticky or full of product. Also because the substance is a foam and not a mousse i feel that its so much easier to distribute throughout your hair.

Label M Thickening Cream £11.50

The Thickening Cream is totally different to the Volume Foam, instead of adding volume to your hair it simply gives your hair more body and creates a more swell or fuller look. So if you have quite fine hair and are after a little extra left and body then definately give this a try!

Label M Smoothening Cream RRP £12.00

I don't use this product as much as i use the previous two, however on the occasions when i have used the Smoothening Cream it has done me proud! It eliminates fly aways and frizz and also it can be used on wet or dry hair - great for girlies on the go!

Label M Ressurection Style Dust £10.00

This is probably my favourite Label M product out of the four which i've tried. You simply shake a small amount of the dust out and place it onto your roots, then massage/rub it into your roots to create a texturised look. The Ressurection Dust can also be used to simply give your hair a little bit of a lift if its looking a tad flat and unloved!

Although they may be a tad pricey compared to drugstore products i think that Label M products are fab and really do work well.

Have you tried out any Label M products? If not what are your favourite hair products?

Sun, Sand and Mosquito Bites

Hello,

I'm shocked to see its been one month since my last blog post *slaps wrist*, as cliche' as it sounds - a few things had came up during the past few weeks which meant there was a slight tumble weed moment with my blog! Anyway, you don't wanna hear about that . . . but what you might want to hear about is my lovely sunny getaway in Madeira.

Yes, i graced Manchester Airport, waltzed on the plane and flew into the sunshine saturated island which is Madeira. (where strangely i NEVER spied any Madeira Cake whilst i was there! Weird!)

We stayed in a lovely hotel, the rooms were nice, food was delicious and the bar wasn't too bad either! I spent most . . . scrap that i mean ALL of the week sunbathing. I slapped on the factor 30 and basked in the sun whilst listening to music (mainly a concoction of Lady GaGa, Cheryl Cole and Example) and read lots of trashy magazines - sounds good right?! The only negative thing was the silly Mosquito which took every opportunity to bite me, bu i guess thats what you get when you visit a hot country, right?

Below are a few piccies for you to have a nosey at, they were taken on my sisters camera which decided to have a fit and break whilst we were mid holiday, so thats why the quality is not the best. My dad had some piccies on his camera too, so when he's uploaded them i'll pop them in a new post. :)

Me rocking my Maxi Dress from River Island pulling a rather strange pose . . you will see a pattern form . . .

The view from the pool bar area.

As you can tell we were totally not ready for this photo!

Tan comparison - i'm winning! Whooo!

How cute are the flowers on this piccie, the petals look like chandeleirs!

I have a couple of posts planned - a Sleek Contour Kit Review and a Xen Tan Review. Both are all written up and pictures have been papped - its just a case of putting 2 + 2 together, which always seems the hardest!

Hope you all have a nice and relaxing weekend!
