Current Favourites 2021 Beginning

It's been a while since I've done a favourites post. It's mainly because my favourites don't change very often and I don't try a lot of new things if I have some things left to use. Being still in lockdown and it being so cold outside I tend to use a lot more products during this time of the year. The next few things I will discuss are items I've been getting a lot of use out of and would recommend.

The first item I have been using a lot is the Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Boost, this is enriched with vitamin C which comes from oranges. This is to help brighten the skin and help it glow. I really love this it really smooths out the skin and makes it feel really soft. It works really well as a primer and a base for makeup and also just for keeping the skin moisturised with something a little more beneficial for the skin. It feels really natural and enhances the skins natural radiance.

There's a few things from the Body Shop on this list so I may as well go through them all at once. The next thing is similar. It's the Body Shop sheet face masks. I've used a few recently but the one pictured is the Body Shop Vitamin E Quench Sheet face mask. These are super hydrating and perfect for a pamper session. These leave your skin feeling super soft and looking so clean. These actually clear blemishes really well by helping reduce their redness and size. The masks themselves are super moist and are a little uncomfortable to put on at first but they become relaxing very quickly. They're a little expensive for a single use mask but are nice for a treat for the skin every now and then.

The last thing from the Body Shop is something I feel like pops up in my favourites this time every year. It's the Body Shop hand cream in Pink Grapefruit - it comes in many scents. This is the best scent by far its super fresh and citrus-y. I believe they have these hand creams in every body shop scent. They are really moisturising and I feel like they really combat dry skin and help heal patches of it while keeping the rest soft. 

The next is a recent purchase, the Rituals Ritual of Sakura body and hair mist spray. This has a very pleasant and fresh scent, smelling of cherry blossom and rice milk. This leaves you smelling like you just came out of a bath and smells so clean. It's a very spring scent but it leaves a nice calming and relaxing feeling. I haven't tried anything from Rituals before but it seems like a really nice brand to give a closer look to. 

The last item is something I rave about consistently. It's a classic Carmex lipbalm. These are the best thing for dry lips or just keeping your lips generally hydrated. It's something I can't leave the house without at this time of year and keep it in my pocket at all times it also makes a nice base under a lipstick to keep damage from the products and the weather off your lips.

Current Favourites | October 2019

I feel like my current favourites posts are always very random and they are really a mixture of things that really stand out on my everyday use. Which may or may not be interesting. I often find it interesting how we can use many items everyday for a long time and then suddenly its replaced with something else without even realising it. These are the current items that have stuck with me over the past month. 

I have been using Burberry Touch perfume every single day for the past month or so - although the funny thing is I didn't get it in recent months I forgot I had it and was delighted to rediscover it. I got this for a very good price in the airport on the way home from a holiday during the summer and I will definitely be repurchasing. I am awful at describing scents but the website describes it as fruity, floral and has a delicate nature. When someone recommends perfume I just assume its nice until I smell it so you should do the same.

The next item is a staple for many people - a Carmex lip-balm. I felt like I was the only person not to have tried one of these up until recently. The cold weather really took a toll on my lips and I had heard great things about Carmex. None of my other lip balms were doing the job at the time but ever since I have started using this I have had no problems with dry or dehydrated lips which is amazing. I would recommend picking one of these up for protection coming up to this cold winter months, it really does wonders.

The next product I've been using is Lush's No Drought dry shampoo. I feel like I may have written about this before but after using lots of dry shampoo over the last while with my busy schedule, nothing seemed to work but I remembered trying Lush's in the past and decided to give it another try. It is so much more natural looking and feeling than any other dry shampoo I have tried. The formula is a powder which you scrub into your scalp and it really fluffs up and makes your hair less greasy instantly. It also adds volume to the hair and you could easily do this for more than one day and your hair would be presentable and fresher than any other product. Plus the natural ingredients are so much better for your hairs health. It also smells really nice of grapefruit.

The last product I've been using a lot is a soap I picked up from a small shop I believe is called Bomb Cosmetics after a quick Google of the product. It's called the Tangerine Dream shower soap. Why this soap in particular is nice is that it is attached to a sponge so when used in water the top part mainly of sponge foams up and creates a really nice shower scrub. And because it is also a block of soap means there is less waste and you get a lot longer out of it over many uses. I had never seen anything like this so I thought it was pretty cool. Plus the orange smell is amazing and fresh.

Current Favourites | August 2017

I haven't got that many things in the line of favourites this month mainly because I lost my bank card and spent most of the month without access to money, which was super annoying but there are a few little bits I've picked up throughout the month that I'd like to share!

The first thing I picked up was the Body Fantasies Signature in Pink Grapefruit Fantasy from Superdrug and I didn't need a new body spray but I sprayed it in the shop and I knew I needed it. It smells like it should be a Victoria Secret scent except it doesn't last as long. Obviously it smells like pin grapefruit and although I'm not a fan of the fruit I love the smell. It's very summery and fruity and very good for the price.

The next things I got are from Disneyland Paris, they're two collectible pins. I'd never bought any Disney pins before but I decided that I'm going to start collecting them every time I go to Disney, so I picked up two to start my collection. The first one I got is the 25th Anniversary pin as I thought it was cute and it's a good commemoration of me being there then, plus I won't ever be able to get it again so. The second one I bought is the Thumper one, where he's holding a flower in his mouth, I love rabbits so Thumper has always been a favorite of mine, I just think he's so cute. Don't forget you can check out my Disney vlog here.

   

The last two pieces I got from Kiko which I always get stuff while away as we don't have any in Ireland. I didn't need anything in particular though so I just picked up two small items, I got the Smart Colour Eyeshadow 09 Metallic Moonstone in a light grey colour. Although I wouldn't normally wear grey I got this one because it swatches more silvery and light than it looks and I think it would look nice in the corners of your eyes to finish off a look, as I haven't any other colours like it.
The second thing I bought I bought because of how cute the packaging was as opposed to the colour, not great I know. I got the Mini Divas in 01 Practical Rose which is a really pale light pink which probably doesn't suit my skin tone the best but it's such a tiny lipstick and the packaging is so cute I thought I'd just get it anyway. You get a good bit of lipstick for the size and it's so easy to bring around with you.

The above swatches are of the Smart Eyeshadow 09 and the Mini Divas Lipstick 01.

Another thing I've been loving recently is the Addams Family musical. I got to go see the UK tour live twice in the past few weeks and I am obsessed with it. It's one of the funniest musicals I've ever gone to see and the cast and production are amazing, definitely try to get tickets to this tour while you still can. The soundtrack is very hard to find to listen to as there isn't many recordings of it anywhere, although I'm hoping they do a cast recording and put in on Spotify as soon as possible. If you're interested and want to check out a few songs you can watch the full cast perform When You're an Addams here and Carrie Hope Fletcher who plays Wednesday's version of Pulled here, they're both two of my faves.

Current Favourites | January 2017

I've been meaning to do favourite posts for so long. I've had multiple photos shot to post, but they're long overdue and not relevant to the months they're from anymore. I thought I'd do a little recap on the things I've been meaning to post as they're still my favourites and they don't need to be confined in a certain month. So I'll most likely be doing current favourites in the future unless I can stick with keeping up monthly. 

Zoella Beauty - My first favourites come from the Zoella beauty range. The first product is the Zoella Candy Cream Softening Body Lotion. I love this body lotion, it doesn't have a very strong smell, but it quite sweet and very soothing. The part I love the most about this bod lotion is the little microbeads in the lotion. The beads aren't made of plastic like most face wash ones, but are made of a more moisturizing substance prefect for blending into dry skin. The second Zoella product is the Kissy Missy lip balm. I'm not a huge fan of lip balm as I find them messy and not great to use. This lip balm is a little tinted and moisturizing at the same time, it reminds me of the Maybelline Baby Lips Cherry Me. I use a lot of lip products in the colder months and I've been reaching for lip balms a lot. 

Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mist - The last time I was in London I picked these two body mists up, as we don't have Victoria's Secret in Ireland (except there's one coming soon wooo!) so I can't get these products easily. They all smell so good, but I couldn't buy much due to carry on restrictions. I bought them in Pure Seduction and Aqua Kiss. Pure Seduction smells so sweet and dark while Aqua Kiss is fresh and light. I'm trying to make them last as long as they can as I love them so much and have to wait til the new store opens in Dublin to buy some more. 

Les Miserables - I went to see Les Miserables in the Queen's theater in October, and it's like my favourite musical of all time, it was like a dream come through. Also it's been so long I don't know whether to blog about my London trip and review of Les Mis, but if you're interested let me know. I bought this bracelet at the show and it's adorable and it's very special to me, and reminds me of such a good trip and time. I need to see this musical live again soon - I love it so much. 

La La Land Soundtrack - I recently posted a review of La La Land on my blog, and I'm still obsessed with the soundtrack even after a month of viewing it. The soundtrack has a wide variety of high energy dance sequences and sad sappy love songs, perfect for every mood. If I'm in a bad mood or need something to bop to Another Day of Sun is such a perfect dance, strut your stuff down the road song. City of Stars is my favourite, it's a duet that's just so beautiful. Lovely Night is also a perfect song to duet with a friend or boyfriend with, even you can convince them. The jazz and piano solos are soothing and everything about the soundtrack is perfect, there's definitely something for everyone. 

Has anyone ever tried any of these things before? What have you been loving recently?

July Favourites 2016

I have felt very unmotivated to blog recently even though I have so many to write, it's not a good combination. The last month has been a little busy but it went by so fast, being more than half way through the year is so so scary. As I've been busy just generally socializing and also going to the cinema a lot more the past month my favourites are quite small but worth the read.

My first favourite is the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil. I've been using powders on my eyebrows for ages as I always felt like pencils never matched my eyebrow colour and left them looking less than natural. I bought this pencil as I wanted to try something different and I''ve heard they're a lot easier to use. I've loved using this product and it does make my eyebrows look natural while still covering all the sections it needs to. The colour doesn't perfectly match my eyebrows but it's very close and looks fine when blended out with a brush. Pencils are definitely something I want to try more of.

My second favourite is an old favorite of mine, it's the Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. I used to love this in 2014 and I actually went through a few tubs already. I was looking for a really subtle hydrating lipstick to wear that doesn't look awful when it fades and I remembered I had this. This lip balm is super hydrating, leaves your lips with a slight red pink tone and looks so natural and lovely on the lips. It's so perfect for days that you don't want to wear lipstick but want something to wear on your lips with a bit of colour.  

I'd never used a Lush shower Jelly before and I got Woosh shower jelly recently and tried it. I have to say using the product is a little awkward but I really love the idea of it being reusable and much better for the environment.  It smells very citrus-y and it's full of grapefruit, lemons and limes, it's very fresh and it comes in a vibrant blue jelly. I'm not too sure if I'd repurchase because of how awkward I feel it is to use but I still do love the product itself.

My last favourite is this DKNY Women perfume. I'm not sure if it has an exact name but I've been loving this perfume. So many people have complimented me when I wear it. I think it smells really like apples but online it says it smells of orchid and water lily. It's a floral perfume so I'm not sure why it smells like a fruity one to me. I think it's one of the most perfect scents I've ever smelt. Maybe a bit dramatic but y'know.

My last favourites are movie favourites. They're both Disney which isn't a surprise. The first one is the Secret Life of Pets which is a little similar to other Disney films which involves pets and cities like Bolt and Oliver and Company. The plot was as expected, there's not much you can do with a bunch of animals in a city but the characters were lovable and very cute and the film was very well thought out. It had very humorous bits for all ages, there was also a little bit of dark humour which I was not expecting, my boyfriend loved it. I feel like it's another underrated Disney film which I wish was a little more celebrated or hyped.

My second Disney favourite is of course, the super anticipated, Finding Dory. I actually wasn't very excited for this film as it was over hyped, does that make sense? I thought it was very similar to the first, so much that it was very predictable and it didn't feel like it was anything new. Yet once again Disney has created some very unique and lovable characters. The plot connected and unraveled really well. I think it was really good and is worth a watch if you were a fan of the first one but it's probably something I won't watch again very soon.

I know my favourites are a little late but I hope you've enjoyed reading them. What have you been enjoying this month?

Mini Nude Lipstick Haul

Recently I've been obsessed with nude lips and lipsticks. I think it's because I've been watching too much of the Kardashians and loving Kylie's lip colours, especially the nudes from her own band, which I unfortunately don't have. I have a wide range of darker and more red and berry toned lipsticks and less of the nudes and pinks so I thought I should start collecting some as they're all I look at when I'm looking through the aisles of make up brands. I've picked up three lipsticks over the past month that I've been absolutely loving.

   

NYX High Voltage Lipstick in Stone

This is my most recent purchase and it's so hard to find NYX in all drug stores. Luckily there's a chemist near my Uni that sells them, even though there's a small range it's better than nothing. I originally went in browsing for the NYX Lingerie range but they had none so I began swatching other lipsticks instead. Stone is a really light nude brown that just darkens and enhances the natural lips when applied. I love the subtlety of it and how nude it is. The packaging is so cute as the tube is skinnier than most other lipsticks and it's so much handier to carry around in your bag, plus the application is super easy. 

Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss in Soft Nude 

Technically this is a lipgloss but I'd consider it a lipstick. I love Essence for their good quality and affordable makeup. Since liquid lipsticks and matte lips have become a trend I've been obsessed with finding a good matte liquid lipstick. I picked this one up and fell in love with the colour and the application. The applicator is easy to use and the formula doesn't leave your lips feeling dry even though it's a matte lip product. Although it does take a while to dry completely it feels completely weightless on the lips which I love. 

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Velvet Beige

The last lipstick of the post is probably my favourite, it's like a mixture of the two above lipsticks. It's a dark nude pink with a tinge of brown and I love the colour. It's a colour that goes with everything and suits every make up look. The packaging lid comes in the colour of the lipstick which is very aesthetically pleasing. I don't think this lipstick is meant to be a matte but it drys almost like a matte lip which I love and it applies so well and doesn't leave my lips sticky or dried out. Definitely one of my top lipsticks and I think it's very similar to MAC's Brave lipstick.  

(The above swatches are in order Maybelline Velvet Beige, NYX Stone and Essence Soft Nude)

March Favourites | 2016

Hello again, end of March already is a little worrying, but at least we're heading into the summer months. I hope everyone's had a wonderful Easter and ate a lot of chocolate. Now I'm going to share this months loves with you now.

   

Garnier Ultimate Blends Dry Shampoo
My first favourite of the month is a product I've been loving for a while but forgot to repurchase. I've been using the Batiste dry shampoo instead for a couple of months and forgot how much I loved this one, especially the smell of it. I actually love the shampoos of this range too they're just the best smelling shampoos ever and they make your hair super soft. I find that this dry shampoo does the same and leaves your hair smelling fresh and looking clean, although you do have to rub it it quite well, you don't want to look like you've got dandruff.

Tresemme Care and Protect Heat Protector
I've also used this product prior to this month and have gone back to it. I spray the product into the roots of my hair when it's still damp and brush out before drying it so it doesn't damage my hair and it's meant to stay in your hair then even afterwards when you want to use heat on your hair again, as far as I know. Which is super handy and I do think that it does protect my hair even though I don't use a lot of heat on it anyway. I also love the smell of this too, it's not meant to smell of anything in particular but I think it smells really pleasant and does a good job.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lipbalm
I'd always wanted to try Burt's Bees products, especially their lipbalms so when I saw this I had to get it. It smells like really fresh peppermint and leaves your lips feeling really minty and definitely hydrates them for a while. It's good to put on a lil' before you put on a lipstick. The only thing that I dislike about the product is how hard it is and how it doesn't come out of the tub very well I'm pretty sure it's just the fact it's made out of beeswax though, other than that it's one of the best lipbalms I've tried.

   

NYX Blusher and Bronzer Ibiza
I literally fell in love with this product before I even tried it. Again, I've not owned any NYX products before as they don't really sell them in drugstores near me and it's really sad. I managed to find a few stores now that sell their products and I'm so excited to try more of their stuff. I love the packaging so much on this blusher/bronzer, it's so pretty and also so cute to hold. I love the shades and the fact it's a duo. The product is so easy to blend I was so amazed by it and it makes my skin look so fresh and bronzed. I would easily recommend this product to anyone who can find it.

NYX Lipstick Eros
I thought this lipstick was going to be too orange-y for me but I really liked the look of it. It turns out it comes out darker than it looks and actually doesn't make my face look as washed out as I thought it would. The texture of it is super creamy and so soft I wasn't expecting it and I fell in love with it because of that. It does fade quite quickly but it's easy to top up and just pop on.

   

(Swatches are NYX Lipstick Eros, Bronzer and Blusher)

February Favourites | 2016

It feels like this month flew by, even though it's the shortest month of the year it definitely should not feel so short. I haven't had too much time trying out new things but I'm here to show you a few things I've been loving this month anyway.

      

   

Provoke Touch of Sliver Brightening Shampoo

I actually bought this shampoo during the summer when my hair felt really dull and have been using it on and off since then, so not that much. I recently re-dyed my hair, so it's basically blonde now, and decided to try it again since I had it to keep the blonde bright in my hair. It's very pigmented purple and leaves anything it touches with a purple stain so definitely keep it away from anything other than your hair. I feel like it does work really well and my hair does have more of a bright shine after using it. The best part about it is that you only have to use a tiny bit of it every time you wash your hair so it's really handy and you don't waste it quickly at all.

Essence Long Lasting Lipsticks

I've been loving the Essence range of lipsticks lately, they're not the best quality but for some reason I'm really liking that right now. There's only one in the picture above but I've been loving the shades 'Come Naturally' and 'On the Catwalk' which is the one above. They're not very pigmented but I like the really subtle look about them recently I've fallen back in love with minimal effort things again and I like these lipsticks for just that look, plus they're super cheap and affordable. The downside is they don't stay on too long but I like to use them as more of a lip balm/butter rather than a lipstick. 

   

Maybelline New York Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

This has been one of my favourite products over the last few months and I keep forgetting to post about it. I had loved the Babylips products in the past so I kinda knew I would love this product. This primer is for 'smooth, poreless looking skin' and I feel like it does make my pores look smaller and skin clearer. I use a tiny amount of it and rub it in the area around my nose, where most of my pores are. It makes your skin ridiculously soft, literally like a baby, as it suggests. I use it for priming my skin before makeup everyday and I do feel a difference with and without using it. It helps keep my makeup on all day and also helps blend makeup easier as my skin is smoother. It's definitely worth a try. 

Topshop Nail Varnish's 

Summer is on it's way and I've been feeling the need to buy more bright coloured nail varnish as I only usually wear dark colours. I picked two very pastel summer colours up in the shades 'Tickle Me..', the pink and 'Breakfast Club', the yellow. They're really light shades and need at least three coats before the colour looks as it does in the bottle. I love the yellow one the most as it's a matte shade and I'm really loving matte nails, even though my nails are a disgrace. I find that they chip a lot but I'm bad at keeping nail varnish on for ages anyway so it's hard to tell if it's just me or not.

   

Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Sin' 

My last favourite is Urban Decays eyeshadow 'Sin' which was gifted to me by a friend. I feel like I have this eyeshadow in another palette somewhere but I've not checked. I've been so minimalist with my makeup this month that I've rarely worn eyeshadow or eyeliner, college life. This eyeshadow is so easy to pop all over your lid minimally and easily and still look like you've put more effort into it, perfect. It's not very noticeable on the eyes but adds shimmer.

My last favourites are music and film and this month I've been loving, obsessed whatever, with Zayn Malik's 'PillowTalk'. I've not been a One Direction fan in the past but maybe I could be a fan of them all once they've gone solo, looks good so far. Plus Gigi Hadid is in the music video and she looks stunning. My other music favourite is Disney, which is usual for me, I've been listening to the soundtrack to the Hunchback of Notre Dame way too much. It's such a good movie and I listened to a female version of 'Hellfire' and got completely stuck into the soundtrack. The composition of the whole soundtrack is so beautiful, it's mixed with old style church dies irae music and current holy songs and movie soundtrack beats and it's just mixed so well. 

The movie I've been loving this month is Zoolander, I saw it for the first time this month. I didn't think I'd like it I don't usually like 'funny' movies like that but I genuinely did enjoy it surprisingly.

Current Favourites | January

I've finally come back to doing monthly favourites, well this month anyway. Christmas and January is a time for trying and receiving new products and items so I decided to combine a few of my favourites and what I've been using a lot during the duration of the month.

   

   

My first favourite of the month is Boots Extracts body butter, from Boots obviously. I'm not entirely sure if you can buy these separately without being part of a giftset as I've never looked for them on their own. I've been using the Strawberry and Spiced Apple butter during the Christmas period and they smell so amazing. Spiced Apple smells like a pastry and it also smells like Christmas itself, are they valid descriptions? The Strawberry butter smells like strawberrys and cream, it's really sweet. They're really smooth and moisturizing and I can feel it being really good for my skin, especially after a shower.

My next favourites are makeup favourites. Firstly I've been really loving Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Styling gel in the shade 003 Dark Brown. I've been using this on top of their Brow This Way powder from the sculpting kit of the same name. This sets my brows and combs them into place, I feel like it makes my brows look more defined and natural. It goes over the natural shape of my brows and gives them extra definition and makes them more filled in. It's much more natural looking especially after using a powder which can sometimes make them look block-y.

Next is Maybelline New York ColourDrama in the shade 630 nude perfection. I've been loving the colour on this and it's a perfect dupe of MAC'S Velvet Teddy lipstick, which I am obsessed with. I normally use this to line my lips before wearing Velvet Teddy as the pencil is easy to apply and shape and it blends in with the MAC lipstick. It still looks good on it's own too.

My last beauty product has to be something from Lush, of course. I bought First Snow when they were selling off their Christmas stock because it intrigued me and I love the idea of it. It's a body shimmer or dusting powder, whichever you want to call it. You basically put it anywhere on your body to give yourself a nice glow or shimmer, plus it's scented. It smells like citrus and is so refreshing. The lovely woman in the shop told me she likes to mix it with her moisturizer to give her body a nice sparkle she also said she likes using it in her hair, which I've yet to try. I use it on my cheek bones as a subtle highlighter generally and I love the smell of it so much.

My last favourites are music related. This month I've been loving Dodie Clark or Doddleddle on Youtube. I've been listening to her playlist of original songs for the past few weeks and have been absolutely loving them. They're really chill and she has the softest cutest voice and lyrics ever and the melodies will get stuck in your head all day. My favourite songs of hers are Gold Star for Me, She and Down, which you can check out my cover of here, if you're interested. They're songs that really cheer me up when I'm down or need to get my mind off something.
The second artist I've been obsessed with is Panic! At the Disco and their new album Death of a Bachelor. I love every single song on this album. They've turned much more pop based and all the songs are very upbeat and songs such as Death of a Bachelor are jazz influenced and Brendon Urie sounds so good singing that style of music. My favourite songs off the album are House of Memories and Crazy = Genius. Check that out too if you haven't already.

August Favourites 2015

I never have much in the line of favourites for the month. I find myself only buying clothes and food and minimal bits of other things, mainly because I'm broke. I feel like I'll have more favourites when it gets more into the more Autumnal months, also my favourite months. I also feel kind of sad that it didn't feel like much of a summer this year. The weather was so cold and it rarely got sunny and it just didn't feel like summer at all.

My first favourite this month was the Collection Lasting Perfection foundation. I'd heard a lot about this for coverage for a long time along with the matching concealer and have wanted to try it. I bought it in the shade 2 Ivory which is my usual skin tone. I think it has really good coverage but the texture feels really thick on your skin. Despite that, I really like it and think I'm going to be wearing it throughout the Winter months as it seems to stay on all day and sit really well. I'm not the one for trying new foundations because they really mess with my skin when I change them but this one doesn't and it's so nice. If anyone has any foundation recommendations please let me know because I'm awful at picking them out.

I've also been loving the Garner Micellar Cleansing Water this month. This make up remover is actually really good, I only bought the small one to test it out but I feel like it really cleans my skin and gets rid of all the excess make up I can't usually clean. Not to mention that the bottle is so cute and definitely my aesthetic. It really feels like you're just using water to clean your face, it has no perfume and is transparent. It gets rid of make up really easily and my skin feels fresher after using it.

My next favourite is another make up related one. It's the Revlon Colorburst lip crayons. I have them in the shades 115 Whimsical which is a shimmery pink, 001 Honey Douce which is a nude and 215 Shameless which is a deep purple, as seen in the order in the photo. These are really great, they're super moisturizing, not like a lipstick but have the colour stay power of a lipstick. The colours in the range are really pretty too. They retail at 10.99 Euro which is an okay price for what they are. They smell like mint and it's so refreshing. They're easy to apply and really pigmented. They're just great really.

My last favourite is food related, as expected. It's the Kinder Joys, which are basically Kinder eggs but instead of chocolate on the outside of the toy you get some inside with a toy and you eat it with a sort of spoon thing. It's really weird to explain. I know you can only get them here in Ireland during the Easter months which is annoying. I got my mam to bring me back some when she went on holidays to Portugal because they have more creative chocolate foods over there as it seems. Give them a try if your a Kinder fan and haven't already. 

What have you been loving during the month of August?

July Favourites 2015

Another month has passed and I've no idea where it's gone. Nothing seems to jump out this month as favourites, it's like I didn't try that many things, but I did enjoy a few things which I'm going to share with you. These are probably the most random favourites ever.

I'm going to start with something Disney related. The Disney store in Dublin recently got 'tsum tsums' into their store. They're small stack-able Disney characters which are super cute. They're about the size of my palm and they're only 5 euro. I'm a sucker for cute cuddly toys, so expect me to have them all in the near future. So far I have the yellow rabbit, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. Also Thumper from Bambi.

   

I'm going to talk about food stuffs next, it's a necessity for my favourites anyway. My food favourite this month is Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli Senstations. They are so delicious. I'm not one for spicy foods and even though these are so spicy they are so sweet and addictive. I get the huge bags of them and literally eat them all. I'm not even one for eating chrisps but these have changed my mind.
My next food favourite is a drink. It's VitHit drinks and they are considered healthy drinks I think. They taste healthy anyway and they're really good for you. They contain nothing but healthy flavourings, water and juice. They are what I go to instead of buying fizzy drinks plus they taste nice so.

  

My next favourite is a scent. It's 'Eclat D'arpege' by Lanvin Paris. I got it as a present from Lanzarote. I don't know how to describe the scent, just know that it smells nice. I've had multiple people ask me what I'm wearing because it smells nice so there's more proof that it's a nice scent. It's some what fruity that's all I can describe about it. The packaging is so nice too, the bottle is so easy to carry around, which I do everywhere. It comes in a fancy clear box stand which I keep it in too just for aesthetic purposes.

My last favourite is a music one which I only put on yesterday for the first time. It's Miley Cyrus' Backyard Sessions. This is where she basically does raw covers of songs. She did these back in 2012 and I loved them. I only watched the new ones yesterday and love them again. She has such a deep, strong, soothing voice. She does these covers with other famous singers such as Ariana Grande and Joan Jett. You should check them out even if you aren't the biggest Miley fan, her more acoustic stuff suits her really well and you might enjoy it. I'll put a link to one of my favourite new covers here.
