I thought I'd add this box so that you get to feel for me and the posts before reading them in depth if you want to, I have a love for most things Disney (covering myself) I'm a qualified hairdresser and beautician (so hopefully I can give you some helpful tips) and love all things girly as well as the odd PS game thrown in the mix, I started this blog as I wanted somewhere I could voice my opinion as well as trying something new. My Blog is full of Disney, Monthly Favourites, Hauls, Reviews, Makeup looks, What's in my Makeup bag, Festive season posts and some Random ones here and there. so why not give me a follow and take a peek.....

Favourites (March - July)




Favourites 

So I haven't done a monthly favourites or a general blog post in a while due to being crazy busy with my HNC course and then just wanting a break from it all.  So now I’m back.  I’ve finished with the course and looking for work (o the joys).  So here is some of the things I have been loving over the last couple of months.

Cinema:

Magic Mike XXL

So I went to see the new Magic Mike XXL with my best friend and her mum, I have the first one on DVD and it’s not my favourite film, it jumps around too much it quiet dark and is hard to understand where as the new film is light hearted, fun, hilarious and not bad on the eyes it is so much better than the first. And yes ladies stripper convention exist in the beautiful US of A twice a year…. Think I know where my next girly holiday will be.

Minions

When I went to go see minions with my papa and step mom we were the oldest child and parent combo their but I’m fine with that as for Despicable Me 2 as me and my papa were also the oldest parent child combo again. I feel this movie was hyped up way too much, don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed it but I left feeling that I expected more, and I probably buy the DVD and watch it again. Saying that it did show a trailer for a new film for 2016 called The Secret Life of Pets which looks hilarious, it also showed the Inside Out trailer which I shall hopefully be seeing.

Spy

Before seeing Spy I was in two minds it was either going to be amazing or not worth the ticket prices, but I’m glad to say it was amazing Melissa McCarthy is one of my favourites actresses, she is as always funny and witty and makes the film. It’s a good Sunday film to chill and is an easy watch.

One film I haven’t seen yet is Jurassic World and I am desperate to see it, it was supposed to be seen by now but Magic Mike XXL and other things got in the way.  But I’m still fingers crossed I’ll see it before it disappears from the cinema’s.

DVD:

Focus

Focus I didn’t see at the cinema but I remember seeing it on the wall when I came out from watching a film. To start with I thought it would be very much car chases and beautiful women. (yup had no idea really what it was about but seen the interview or will smith on Top Gear) but It surprised me I really enjoyed it and all its little twists and ‘mind games’ and as from previous blogs you’ll see I vary in what I watch but I am very girly but give it ago if not pass it on to a family or a friend.

The Wedding Ringer

The Wedding Ringer is a light hearted comedy with a stereo typical ending if I do say so myself but it is a funny, easy watch with some ‘OMG NO’ moments if you’ve seen it all I’ll have to say is the ‘Dog’ moment and you now understand.

Taken 3

Taken 3 like most people I thought they can’t possible make another one and it be good but I was wrong it’s a good film and props to the person who had to advertise it and it’d over do it. Has a good plot feels new but familiar with having same faces includes very twisty and keeps you thinking.

Other films I bought were Kingsman and 50 Shades of Grey but seen as I review them in another blog post when I went to see them at the cinema I’ll leave them.

Beauty:

Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara

With all mascara’s I only ever buy waterproof due to I have the magic power of turning all normal mascara’s in to panda eye syndrome, it’s a gift. I find this mascara really good at lengthening and separating my lashes and so far no panda eyes so it works for me.

Hair:

Toni & Guy: Nourish Reconstruction Mask

This mask has literally made my hair so soft and helped it so much I bought it in March and ran out after 5 uses but it’s so worth the price and at the moment both Superdrug and Boots have 2 for £9 on all Toni & Guy products. I’ve already repurchased a couple of times and now have spares, I use it once a week and that’s more than enough for me. It also smells rather good too.

Ogx Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil extra penetrating

This oil along with the mask has helped my hair get the shine and softens, I use this after every wash. For an oil it doesn’t leave your hand feeling sticky which is a bonus point in my book. But it’s been great for my hair and could recommend it more.

Lee Stafford ARGANOIL from Morocco Anti Frizz serum Spray

This spray has been a life saver from my very curly hair in the humid weather in the UK (what the hell I was find with one extreme to the other but not this warm but not sunny malarkey) It keeps me with relatively straighten hair yayyy (and just me having relatively straight hair is a miracle for me)

Fragrance:

Ted baker Pink body spray

Ted baker have vamped up their new products giving them a very beautiful and expensive look and have the pink and mint collection I prefer the smell on the pink collection I find it more sweet smelling and I’m definitely a sweet person.

Soap & Glory’s Sugar Crush Fragrance Mist

This is the first time using the Sugar Crush collection I also bought the shower gel at the same time and it smells so good the mist is sweet smelling but an adult sweet if that makes sense it not to sickly it lovely and very elegant.

Emporio Armani Diamonds Violet

I already had the original perfume and I got an email from boots  saying this was brand new so I thought I’d treat myself to this and it smells so good also a sweet scent but like the sugar crush not to sickly and very elegant. I’d definitely buy again.

Everything else

Shower

Now for shower I just going to meant one collection by The Body Shop with is the New Virgin Mojito range which smells incredible and I’ve used to Shower Gel, Body Splash, Body scrub and the Sorbet. It’s such an amazing smelling range that lasts with the help of the body splash which can be put in a spray bottle and sprayed after you’ve showered. It’s a nice refreshing fragrance and if you love the smell of lime and mint it’s a must. Must say if you go into the shop to smell it if it’s the sorbet or body butter rub into your skin then smell it as it can be over powering straight from the bottle. The Body Shop have also done Gifts with this collection with a cocktail shaker and an ice bucket this will be a fun gift for a friend who loves cocktails but also smelling like mojitos.

Books

Books is a new section but I’ve been reading The 100 book and I’m on the third and final book I watch the tv series which is shown on E4 but it’s on a break waiting for the next series so I thought I’d give the books ago and I’m really enjoying them there is quite a bit which is different which I like then it’s not just repeating itself.  If you’re into Sci-Fi and hopeless romantic in a space ship that losing oxygen and is trying to find out if earth is habitable by sending 100 juvenile delinquencies then you’ll love it.

EE

And final something I got free from EE. The Power Bar if you’re an EE customer you could of claimed your own power bar in an EE store. Which charges your phone, iPod etc. it comes with an android connecter but you need your apple connecter to connect you iPhone or iPod. And the best thing is if you run out of battery when you’re out and you’ve got no charge in you power bar simply pop into an EE store and swap it for a fully charged one for FREE. Thanks EE.
