February Favourites



Gone Girl

I haven't read a lot of books, I don't know if it because I am not a book person OR because I am just overwhelmed with the amount of books out there and just do not know where to start...probably a bit of both, But Christmas gifted me with 'Gone Girl'. I had heard some good reviews and decided to start reading this when I returned to uni. This book is incredible! its hard to put down. The only downfall is that there is a movie out and it was so tempting to watch it. I gave in 2/3 into the book but I did finish the book as the book always seems to be better. 

Maybeline Master Precise Eyeliner

This has been a favourite since I can remember. Eyeliner is probably one of my favourite pieces of make-up. its quick and easy and makes all the difference! The master precise is a brush so it is easy to apply and to create the perfect cat eye. I have use a gel liner in the past by Rimmel which was also very good, it just takes a little longer to apply so it is not as convenient for me. 

Maybeline Lash Sensational Mascara

I am not going to lie. I have never be bothered about what mascara I use, I just normally look to get the newest one on offer #BarginBetty. That is how I came across this mascara. I don't normally like plastic applicators as they never seem to separate or build the mascara on to lashes but there is an exception and it literally gives me such long looking lashes...don't get me wrong, still not as good as on the adverts!... but good in comparison to what I have used before.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Concealer and Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer

There are two favourite concealers of the month, both Rimmel and when I picked them up, the shop assistant told I had picked up the best ones! before these two I never really used concealer. The Rimmel Lasting Finish has amazing coverage, I would suggest going a shade lighter than your natural colour just to lighten up these areas ad make the coverage and colour of your foundation a lot more consistent. The Match Perfection Concealer is more for under the eyes, so it not a heavy consistentsey, its light weight and brightens up the eyes, the great thing about this one is that it can also be used as a highlighter as well. 2 in 1's tend to only do one job that they promote but the Match Perfection works well as both concealer and highlighter.

Simple Kind To Skin Day Cream

A life saver and necessity of any skin care routine! I haven't had great skin for a while and this moisturiser combined with drinking more water has improved my skin dramatically. I prefer to use products for my face that have no added extras as I think fragrances and only irritate my skin.

Smashbox Lipgloss: Disco Rose

WELL. This wasn't mine but it is now (thanks sis). This colour is just perfect for daytime make-up/ evening make-up, it is an allrounder. If I bought this I would say it was a bargain. It is long lasting and not sticky, thats all girls want from a lip gloss and it does the job! 

Victorias Secret Fragrance Mist: Coconut Passion

Any fragrance is a welcomed from me. But I do like to have something I can just carry around in my bag that isn't too overpowering. This was part of a birthday gift and although I would never normally opt for a coconut fragrance, this is sweet enough and light enough for an everyday fragrance. 

Catwalk Hair Cream

discovered this brand a few years ago when I went on holiday. One of the girls I went with also had curly hair and had the most amazing hair routine I have ever been a witness to. If you have curly hair then you will know the struggle to find a product that enhances your curly hair without making in crispy, sticky or greasy. It is a REAL struggle and this product makes your curls shiny and smooth without all the other hassle. Catwalk has so many more products worth trying. Another one I recommend is the Curls Rock Amplifier, it basically does the same thing but the product is a lot thicker and can be applied to wet and dry hair.

Colours Of The City




















Its funny how London is seen as one of the greatest cities in the world but living here, we do not take advantage of the small pieces of beauty that surround us everyday. I am intrigued by the idiosyncrasies of London, the things you wouldn't look twice at if you were on a bus journey. However, if you look closer, there are small characteristics in every area of London that make you appreciate it...only if you look long enough.
