January Favourites

Hey everyone! Well that's it, January is now over. The post-Christmas anti-climax dull month. In all honestly, I haven't had the best January but roll on Spring is what I'm thinking. It's time for my first ever monthly favourite post for the new year! So here's what I've been loving and why....


Beauty Favourites



GHD's
I received these beauties for Christmas and have never owned a good pair of straighteners. These were the scarlet deluxe ones and I was so happy to get them. They work so well and are really worth paying the money. The set came with a travel hairdryer and other bit, may do a review soon.

Soap and Glory- Hand Food
This product smells good and it actually makes my hands soft and non-greasy which makes it an all around great product. It's the best inexpensive hand cream I have tried and am on my second tube. I have been completely obsessed with the smell over the Winter!

Benefit- High Beam
 I'm sure you all know/ have this product. I use it every day on my cheeks as a highlighter and I don't feel right without it! It's a pink liquid that creates a radiant, dewy complexion for my angelic looking smile... Haha yeah right.

Vera Wang Perfume- Princess
I bought this in the Summer at an airport and this month it has been my go-to scent. The bottle is eye catching, and although it was £33, the not-to-sweet gorgeous scent is so addictive!

No7 Nail Varnish
Milan 110- This has to be one of my most loved nail polishes. I advise to apply two coats and this is the result! It dries pretty quickly and doesn't chip easily.

Non-Beauty Favourites

Alt-J
I love listening to their new album when I'm driving. Their sound is so fresh and different and I love the whole album, I reccomend having a listen. And they're in Reading festival...!

Nebula
So Nebula is a local band that one of my friends belong too (he plays the drums). Listen to there three songs over and over again.The song 'Cloud 9' is amazing. Please have a listen on iTunes and if you like them, feel free to buy there EP!

Yoo Moo
If you haven't tried this, you need to. It's frozen yogurt, healthier than ice cream and my favourite flavour is the strawberry one. It just tastes amazing.

Twitter & Instagram
Since I have been so busy with work, exams blah blah, I have not had any spare time at all. Now that I do, I am back on Instagram and Twitter! Please follow me, I follow back!

Temple Run 2
Who doesn't love this? It's so addictive and quick to play (and it's free!). I get it out in College, on a bus and play it in bed! Currently saving for a new character...

Topshop Scarf
I have been wearing this nearly every day since I purchased it. So comfy, thick and I think the colour is really lovely. Plus it was in the sale.

My Daily Want 1#

Hope you're all having a great weekend. Just thought I'd share this with you all, I'm so excited to get this (when I do!).
I've wanted this for as long as I can remember and I think the only way I can get it is if I ask for it for Christmas! The famous 'Nars Laguna Bronzer' is a steep £25 but as many have stressed is very worth it. It looks darker than what I would normally use but it is raved about to much to pass...
Photo's from Nars website

I just wish I could have it before Summer is up! Have you bought this? Or do you lust for it as much as me?

Post-Exam Therapy

Yep, you guessed it, shopping! So excited that I have finished my A-Level exams I now have my life back. So much has changes from Summer and I feel I need to update you. I passed my driving test! I have applied to 5 Universities to study Midwifery and I am going to Tanzania, Africa for 3 weeks to work in a hospital as a midwife for experience with an organisation called Gap Medics and I cannot wait!
Feeling groovy with my life at the moment and thought I'd splash some cash (not that I can afford to but heyho) but I can justify some were in the sales.
This is what I purchased today-
Black Jeggings- River Island £40
I have been wanting a pair of wet leggins/ jeggings for a long time and I saw these, tried them on and fell in love. Cannot wait to wear them on the weekend!

Dark Grey Beanie- River Island £2 (was £13)
Randomly grabbed this as it was on the counter and cute... Don't even know if I will wear it.. May give it to my little sister.

Black Skull Vest Top- River Island £7 (was £20)
I thought this looked really cool and the skull kinda studs added that edgy feel. I may pair this with the jeggings, or that might be too dark, who knows?

Blue Denim Look Vest Top- New Look £8 (was £16)
I love these tops and don't have one yet so I just bought it.

White Vest Top- New Look (£3)
Lets face it, everyone has about 3.

Peace Ring- £3
Add to my ring collection woo!

Feather Ear Cuff- £1
Wanted one of these for ages and for £1, how can they go wrong! Let the obsession begin...

Get Lashed- Tk Maxx £3.99 (RRP £13)
Let's wear these on the town then- yum!

Zebra Storage Box- Tk Maxx £5
Just to put hair dryer, bits and bobs in, and it looked nice.

Heart Dish- Tk Maxx £3
I have been looking for a glass dish to put my rings in and then saw this, its perfect! Matches my rooms too!


So there we are. I have blown off steam while spending my savings for Africa! Well needed though, I promise!
