November Favourites

November Favourites

DVD

Me before you

I read the book after I watched it and of course I wish there were bits that they added but they did a really good job and I love it, really enjoyed it yes I shed a tear or two but it's nice to see a film that has a different typical ending which I like as not everything ends happy in real life. Also just finished the sequel After you book and I really enjoyed that and the way Jojo went with this sequel and can't wait to see if she writes another and if it will make the big screen.

The Boss

I love Melissa McCarthy and so far I love watching all the films she's been in and this one is no different. It's funny, a little bit silly but it made me laugh and I really enjoyed it. It's a nice light easy film to watch perfect for a cosy night in.

Beauty and Skincare

Zoella Hungry Hands

This hand creams smells amazing like Christmas goodness in a tube. It sinks it really quickly so you don't have to wait long to do stuff. Love the rose gold packaging, the smell is quiet intense if you smell it straight from the tub but once rubbed it it's nice and sweet gingerbread scent. It's also a good price and a great stocking filler for Christmas.

The Body Shop Matte Lip Liquid in Nairobi Camellia 034 & Tahiti Hibiscus 016

Love These colour 016 is a pinky red colour and 034 is a pretty soft pink they go on really well and take a couple of minutes to dry completely then have to reapply after eating as it fades slightly. I like the packaging for them they're a good price at £6 each, both good winter shades and they smell really good they have a sweet subtle scent.

NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie Lipstick in Ruffle Trim

I love this nude shade, it's easy to apply and I really like this nude range that NYX have done, wanting some more the only thing I will say is it doesn't looked the same on you as in the pot it's more of a subtle pink/coral nude colour. Also have to reapply as it doesn't stay if eating and drinking.

Everything else

Yankee Candle in Christmas Eve

This is my favourite festive candle/scent love it. I wish it'd would come in a spray as I'd probably wear it, I have the small and medium jar, a small pillar, one votive, a packet of tealights and a wax welt which I have been using since October. So just a few candles of Christmas eve and when it get to January I stock up in the sales.

New Look Leopard print Boots with Gold Detailing

I've wanted Leopard print boots for a while but trying to find a wide fit size 9 isn't the easiest thing but then New Look shined down on me and had this beautiful boots with gold detailing on the heel. I've been wearing them with a simple outfit and used my boots to jazz it up love them. 

Hair Bows from Little Sparkle Boutique

I have four bows from Little sparkle Boutique Etsy shop which I found when I was looking for just a large red glitter bow and I found one which came in a set of the red glitter bow and a white and gold glitter bow too which are perfect for Christmas a week later I bought a Mustard wool bow and a Tartan and black glitter bow I had this on made especially as it was only as a medium bow but messaged Jade and she helped me get it in large, they are all so pretty and perfect for Autumn/Winter and Christmas to add a little sparkle to your outfit. I'm eyeing up the rose gold bow as my next purchase.

Accessorize Glitter Purse

I bought this after I go a £5 gift card for spending a certain amount and I decided to put it towards this I'd seen it online and it was in my local shop so it was meant to be it's beautiful it's a mixture of gold and rose gold glitter and it's not how you'd think it'd feel as it's smooth which I really like as you won't lose the glitter and end up with a bald purse in the end. It has enough slots for cards and a zip section for coins I've been using this as my going out purse and it's perfect as well as adding extra glitz and sparkle.

There are my November Favourites and so soon starts the countdown to Christmas which includes alot of work for me.

Ultimate Makeup and Skincare Buys

Ultimate Makeup and Skincare Must Buys

All these makeup and skincare products are my personal favourites and products I enjoy using and repurchase whenever I'm running low.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara Black

Favourite Mascara I have ever owned. Separates and lengthens my lashes lasts all day and doesn't give me panda eyes. It's amazing and as long as I have that and my skin is okay I don't mind just wearing this on its own.

Urban Decay Primer Potion and All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray

I've tried lots or eye shadow primers and setting sprays and Urban Decay's is my favourite and works amazing keeps my makeup in place without moving and the same can be said for the eye primer which I love and had first out of the two products.

Collections Lasting Perfection Concealer and Glam Crystals Gel Eyeliner

The concealer is a great coverage for a great price I have this is two shades one for winter and the other for summer. The glitter gel liner is my favourite party makeup essential as it adds a little sparkle to your look  really simple and easy to use. 

Miss Sporty Clear Mascara

I've bought this since I was in high school and used it as a brow gel as it does the job I want it to do also it's really cheap and I don't like the brow gels that are coloured as they don't do anything for me I'd rather fill them in with powder or pencil and then use the mascara to set them.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Lipstick

This has to be my favourite red lipstick yes a little on the pricey side but totally worth it. It's the right shade of red and has pretty good staying power.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat OR Rose Radiant Touch

This was a limited edition radiant touch highlighter at the beginning of the year and I love it  I use it to highlight my brow bone and cupid bow, I love that it has a shimmer to it and I wish they brought it back to the normal collection so I'll have to settle for the normal radiant touch.

HD Brows Pencil and Palette in Foxy

These are my favourite brow products only used them for my brows although the palette can be used as eyeshadows I haven't used it for that. It comes with two shades that are suitable brow colours also it came with the brush when I bought mine it's easy to apply and you can get it in two other shades and on the website it explains which shade would suit different hair colours.

The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick in 315 Coral Kiss

This is my go to everyday lipstick that I have in my bag all the time as it goes with everything and it's the perfect lipstick shade for me. It has a shimmer to it as well and I feel that gives it a little extra it's creamy nice to put on and I have like four and a brand new one as I have one pretty much everywhere.

The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye and Lip Makeup Remover

This is hands down the best makeup remover I've owned it's gently and takes my eye makeup easy and takes my red lipstick off completely which is a first normally I'm left with half of it still on. It doesn't really have a smell to it. I really like the Camomile makeup removing range I have it all and I really enjoy the cleansing oil and makeup remover to take the makeup of the whole of my face as a change once in a while.

So there are my beauty and skincare must haves.

October Favourites

October Favourites

Cinema

Bridget Jones Baby

I Really enjoyed this film, very much like the previous two it's an great addition to the franchise, it's funny, had all the bridgetisms that you wanted and keeps you guessing as to who the dad is. I hope they do another because I want to see Daniel Cleaver in it. Also I love Bridget and we all have Bridget moments.

DVD

Alice Through the Looking Glass

I love this sequel it's perfect and has great additional characters like time and I love see Sacha Boren Cohen in a different way other then a comedy lead and he does a great job.

Bad Neighbours 2

I bought this hoping it'd be the same level as the first one it was okay it is very similar to the first, watchable but very predictable I guessed the ending when I was half way through it. I like the nods to the first it was a good film but it wasn't a great one.

Beauty and Skincare

Nails Inc: Cuticle Oil - Avocado Oil and Sweet Almond Oil

I bought this as I ran out of my Peggy Sage cuticle oil as with having acrylic nails it's important to use cuticle oil as it helps your natural nails underneath so I picked this up when I was in boots it was a tad on the pricey side as it was £10 but I spent my points on it also it smells amazing, it's the best smelling cuticle oil ever.

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Kitten Heels

Since Boots have Stocked NYX products I can't get enough and this is no exception I have another colours in this lipstick but this is the perfect red colour, it applies really well and stays well. Perfect for Autumn/Winter

Sleek Boots Christmas Gift Set Say The Magic Word includes Matte Me Lip Gloss Mini's In Old Hollywood, Birthday Suit, Rioja Red and Velvet Slipper.

This is a great Christmas Gift Set and it's only £5 perfect stocking filler or secret santa gift, it's also a nice way to try out the sleek matte me lip cream as they are miniatures and perfect for a night out to pop in your bag and you get four shades, I already have the Birthday Suit Shade and I really like it so having a mini version means I can take it anywhere I love Old Hollywood its a nice autumn/winter red as it's nice and deep but I think it's a great collection of colours and I'll use them all.

Niko Professional Makeup Brushes 

I bought these in Tk maxx and I have been eyeing them up online for a while and they were on my Christmas  so when I saw them I had to buy them they are the best brushes for foundation and contour. So happy I bought them make it so much easy to apply contour.

Contour Cosmetics Rocks

This were also on my Christmas List and once again TK maxx had them in and for £13 so Bargain so shimmery and pigmented another product I love and is in my makeup bag always now. 

Everything Else 

Accessorize Saddle Bag 

I love the colour of this bag and the gold detailing perfect for Autumn it's a good sized small bag it has a zip pouch inside then the main compartment you can also change the strap if you want too which I like as it means next year to make it knew I can add a new strap to it. 

Rose Gold Light up Mirror

I bought this from Wilkinson for £10 it's part of there Christmas Gifting section and comes with the battery's it needs which is really helpful. I've wanted a light up mirror for a while so when I saw this one and it was rose gold I had to have it going to make putting my face on easier.

Case Logic Dual USB Power Bank From TK maxx in Gold

I bought two of these on in gold and one in pink and it the best purchase I've made I keep one in my bag when I go out  and it fully charges my phone, it's not massive or heavy so it's not an effort to have it in my bag and it does the job. I go two so one can always be in my bag and the other can be charging.

Pom Pom Shoe Clips From Accessorize

I love Pom Poms, I have earring, gloves, hair bobbles, heels and many more pom pom items the list goes on, so when I found these I thought this was the best invention ever and only £5 which I was really impressed with. I think the only think accessorize have to do now is bring them out it other colours.

And there is my October Favourites. I love this time of year and I can't wait for Christmas yes I'm a big kid.

I love that the Clam doubles up as a bag with a rose gold chain for detail now all I need is the Siren Roll as a Clutch bag and I'll be ready for anything please make it happen Spectrum Collection this merbabe needs one and would 100% rock one. Anyway back to the Beautiful Bomb Shell Brushes in the set you get 12 brushes in either the clam or roll. Of course these brushes are ridiculously soft like the rest of the Spectrum brushes I own. I bought The Roll Separately because I thought if I go away for a weekend or anything taking the clam would take up more space then the roll plus you don't have too put your Bombshell collection in the roll you can put any brushes in a super cute case.

A00: Luxe Powder  -  Setting Powder 

C03: Tulip Powder  -  Contour Powder Blend
