October Favourites | 2015

Hello everyone, as you know monthly favourite posts are my favourite to write, so i think i will just get on with it! Enjoy x

Makeup:

Collection Contour Kit

In one of Zoella's favourite videos she received one of these in the post, and she obviously loved it so i had to pick one up! This contour shade is gorgeous, it is super pigmented and blends really well. As for the highlight, it gives an amazing glow for the top of your cheekbones.

£4.19 from Boots

Beauty Blender

I have been using my beauty blender over my brushes recently, just because i think it blends my face makeup better! So i thought i'd put it in my favourites.

80p from Amazon

sorry its a bit mucky!

Tv & Films:

The Carrie Diaries

I had been meaning to watch this series for quite some time now, i wont give anything away but i am hooked on this show. Its quite different from all the other high school drama type programmes, as it is set in the 1980's. 

Scream Queens

I heard on twitter that there was going to be a show with Emma Roberts, Ariana Grande and loads of other amazing actors, i knew i had to watch it when the show premiered. Its spooky but also really funny too, it has just the type of humour i love! Go watch it if you havent already.

Saving Mr Banks

I only watched this movie yesterday, but i fell in love with it. It makes you laugh and cry, its one of those movies you can always go back to when your bored or just want a pick me up!

Music:

Hello by Adele

I think everyone and their cat has heard this song, but i thought id put it in here anyway. I've had this on repeat since it came out, Adele is one of the best singers out there! If for some reason you havent heard it then go give it a listen, you wont be disappointed!

Sorry by Justin Beiber

This is also a really popular song at the moment, this is so catchy too! 

Youtubers:

Eve Bennett

I have been loving smaller youtubers recently and Eve is one of my favourites, she is so genuine and funny. Plus her content is amazing, i could watch her all day!

Sarocha B

I also have been loving Sarocha's videos, her makeup videos are my favourite by far! 

Random:

Cacti

I recently went to Ikea and picked up a few bits and pieces for my room, i got this super tumblr looking cacti, it just adds a bit of green and i love that!

Candy Mountain from Lush

I wanted to check out the new christmas range from Lush so bad, so i went and  got Candy Mountain. This one was my first ever bubble bar, it smells amazing, plus its pink and glittery! This is perfect for a pamper evening.

£2.95

Butter Bear from Lush 

I also got butter bear which is the exact same as butter ball, but shaped as a cute little bear! This is so moisturising, its one of my favourite ever bath bombs!

£1.95

So thats it for the month of october, hope you liked it! Make sure you like this post and follow my blog!

See you soon,

Halloween Costume Inspiration

Hello everyone, I put together a halloween costume inspired by the amazing San Francisco resort at Fairmont Hotels , I also added my own creepy twist. Enjoy!

As this outfit is inspired by the beautiful San Francisco Resort, I wanted it to be very classy but still a little bit spooky, so i went with this gorgeous grey dress with black and white lace details (this is from Primark). I added these creepy cobwebs (from Tescos) to give it a bit more of a halloween feel. I paired this look with black knee high socks and some black combat boots, and there we go, a spooky ghoulish bride!

A big thank you to Fairmont Hotels for getting in touch, this was so much fun to put together! Dont forget to give this a like, and follow my blog too!

September Favourites | 2015

Hello everybody, time for another monthly favourites, you may or may not have noticed that i changed my blog name. I just wanted it to be a little more sophisticated and neat. So im really happy with how the header turned out. Enough rambling, lets get on with the favourites!

Makeup & Beauty:

Baby Lips in "Cherry Me"

This product has been in a lot of my blog posts, i always go back to this colour when it gets a little bit colder, and its so hydrating and thats why i always use it!

Barry M Nail Polish in "Almond"

Im pretty sure this has been in one of my blog posts is well, i just think its the perfect nude shade to wear in Autumn and Winter.

Tea Tree Oil

I have recently re-found my love for using tea tree oil, i cannot recommend this enough if you have spot prone skin (like mine). It helps reduce the appearance and it works like a dream!

Random:

Tangle Teaser

I got this a couple of years ago and i stopped using it for quite a while, i have very frizzy hair, which is really annoying, but this helps so much with that, and its the perfect handbag size.

Yankee Candle in "Christmas Eve"

I got the votive size just so i could test it out, and this is probably the best scented candle ever! It smells exactly like christmas and it fills your room with scent even when its not lit. I will definitely be going back to buy the full size!

Timotei Pure Conditioner 

This was just sitting in my cupboard, i ran out of my old conditioner and decided to try this one out. Im so glad did, it makes your hair so smooth and shiny, its unbelievable! You should 100% try this out for yourself, thank me later;)

Fashion:

H&M Mustard Jumper

I first saw a jumper like this in one of MyLifeAsEva's videos, it was basically love at first sight, and i found this one on the H&M website. Its such good quality and so comfy too.

New Look Floral Shorts

I have been looking for some of these shorts for a while now, and i picked these up at new look, all i can say is they are super comfy and great quality for the price!

New Look Speckled Jumper

I wanted to stock up on my knit wear as its getting colder outside, i love this design, its really casual and so soft too!

Tv and Films:

Teen Wolf

My tv favourite for this month has to be Teen Wolf, you have probably seen it already, but if you havent, you should, right now! Its so engaging and addicting, i can't wait for season 5B to come out. Plus you have to agree Dylan O'Brien is a bit too good looking!

sorry its super blurry:\

 Tomorrowland

My movie fave for this month is Tomorrowland, if you love futuristic movies, this is for you. I really want there to be a 2nd one!

Music:

Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift

This song has been on repeat for the last week, yes thats how catchy it is. But seriously, this song is amazingly written. Go listen to it!

 Colors by Halsey

I love all of the Badlands album, but this has to be my favourite!

Thats all for this month, make sure to give this a like, and follow my blog too! 

see you soon,

My Book Collection/2015

Hey guys! Today I'm going to share with you my book collection, enjoy💗

 I'm going to start of with youtubers books, so first is "In Real Life" by Joey Graceffa, which I'm currently reading at the moment. It's all about his life so far, dealing with family problems, love and much more!

"Girl Online" by Zoe Sugg

This is the first ever youtubers book I bought, and it's probably my most loved out of all of them. She tells a story about a girl called Penny and how she meets Noah, a secret popstar! I definetly recommend this book.

"Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter" by Louise Pentland

I haven't read this one yet, but judging by the back, it's also a memoir about her life!

"The Pointless Book 1 & 2" by Alfie Deyes

These books aren't memoirs or stories, they are activity books, kind of like "wreck this journal" type books. They are a great idea if you are traveling long distance and you need something to do!

"Love Tanya" by Tanya Burr

This book is amazing, it's filled with life details, advice and my personal favourite chapter, baking!! 

Now onto my other books

"Paper Towns" by John Green

This is one of my favourite books, I am completley obsessed with John Greens books, I want to get all of them!! This is about a guy named Quentin who is in love with this girl called Margo, and when she goes missing, he goes after her. 

"If I stay" by Gayle Forman

This book nearly made me cry, I watched the film and they did leave some parts out, but I loved it! I have a better detailed description of it in one of my monthly favourites.

"The Maze Runner" by James Dashner

I stopped reading this book so I could read  paper towns, but I need to start reading it again, because it's such a good book.

The Humingbird Bakery Recipe Book

I got this for my birthday this year, and I still have yet to bake anything from it! All the recipes look super yummy!!

"Twilight & New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer

I got these ages ago at a car boot sale and I've got to say the first one is so much more interesting than the second one, but that's just my opinion!

So that's it for my book collection, maybe I'll do an updated one in the future. Don't forget to like this post and follow me so you know when I publish a new blog post!

July Favourites | 2015

Hey guys! Here's another monthly favourites for you, enjoy.

Books:

"In Real Life" by Joey Graceffa

Im so in love with this book! I've been subscribed to Joey for over a year now, and when he said he was releasing a book i was extremely excited! Its one of those books that you can't stop reading.
£3.00 from Tesco

Bath & Beauty:

"Think Pink" Lush Bathbomb

If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know that i am obsessed with Lush! And this was the last thing i bought from there, this smells amazing and will fill your bath with loads of multicoloured flowers! I really recommend this one if you have never been into lush before.
£2.75 from lush

Zoella Beauty "Candy Cream Body Lotion"

I never got anything from the original range, but i was so excited when the tutti fruity range came out, and i just had to buy something! I can't explain how good this smells! Plus it makes your skin super soft!
£5.00 from superdrug

Apps & Games:

Disney Tsum Tsum

I wanted to get this on my old phone, but it wasn't compatible with the device, so when i got my iphone i immediately downloaded it! It is very addicting (just a warning!)

aa

I only downloaded this the other day, and i'm hooked. Its also quite annoying at times...

Wattpad

This is also a recent downloaded item, it's an app for reading books, and there's so many to choose from, but i mainly read fanfiction (don't judge). Its just a great app for when you feel bored. Follow me on there, my name is: mayb8by16

Films:

Dreamworks "Home"

My friend brought this over to watch one day, and it was funny, sad, basically it had all the emotions. I definitely think it's one of the best dreamworks movies. 


Music:

Major Lazer & DJ Snake-Lean On (feat. MO)

I have been listening to this song for ages now, and it's just so catchy!



And im afraid thats it for this month! Don't forget to follow my blog and like this post, leave some requests for future blog posts!

Take care,
