September Favourites 2012

I can't believe it is October already. I mean seriously, where the heck does time go?

I was planning on doing a face of the day tomorrow but I also forgot that I had a dentist appointment today for gum surgery! My mouth is still numb right now but I have a feeling this is going to swell up. 

Anyway, onto my September favourites!

Left to right: La Roche-Posay 'Effaclar A.I.' - £9.19 from Boots; La Roche-Posay 'Effaclar' - £10.21 from Boots; La Roche-Posay 'Effaclar Duo' - £13.00 from Boots

I will be doing a separate review on all these products when I get back from my holiday and have used these a bit more. However, I know I love the Effaclar Duo already because the bottle in the picture is my second bottle!! An empties post will also be up fairly soon!

Clinique 'All About Eyes' - £24.00 from Boots (This is a 7ml sample from a Clinique promotion)

This is my second 7ml sample which I got from the Clinique promotions which they do fairly regularly.  I love this eye cream because I feel like it makes my dark circles fade dramatically which I love! I was considering purchasing the full size tub of this at the airport however I think I want to try out a few different eye creams before I do.

Gold Bow Earrings - Part of a multipack from Primark

I can't remember exactly how much the multipack of earrings was from Primark however I think it was about £3 for 12 pairs of earrings which is a steal in my opinion. I loved wearing these throughout the month of September and I am loving wearing them this month too. I think they are so cute and add a bit of delicacy to any outfit!

Sally Hansen 'Insta-Dri Top Coat' - £5.99 from Boots

Ok, so I never thought I would say this but I think this topcoat has knocked my Seche Vite off the top spot. I found that after a while, my seche vite got a bit gloopy and harder to use. Whereas, this topcoat is easy to work with and in my opinion it dries faster than Seche Vite, plus, it is much more affordable which is always a bonus!!

Johnson's 'Cotton Buds' - I can't find a link online

I know this is a bit of a random favourite but I have been loving these for cleaning up after a manicure. I really like the Boots Cosmetic Tip Buds however I think these have a more precise tip which is much better. I also feel like they are more sturdy than the Boots ones.

 Hope you enjoyed this. I'd love it if you'd check out my Upcoming Posts post to see what I have planned for my lovely little blog :)

Upcoming posts!

Hey guys, 

I just wanted to let everyone know what type of posts will be coming up and 1. see if you are interested in them, and 2. ask if you have any other requests.

Firstly, tomorrow, I will have my September favourites up!

Right, that's sorted. So I was thinking, in the next week, I am either going to do a few school related posts, such as organisation etc, or a few nail tutorials, or a mixture of the two if you'd prefer!

Which would you prefer?

Then, on the week leading up to going on holiday, I was thinking some packing posts such as what's in my hand luggage, and what's in my travel makeup bag etc.

When I am in Mexico and Arizona, I don't know whether I'll be posting every other day (not that I am now right.. Sorry!) or not but I was thinking of doing daily Instagram OOTD's so make sure to follow me on Instagram or twitter. But, I was also thinking of doing hauls whilst on holiday, if everyone would be cool with that, or would you rather me do a collective haul post after my holiday?

Wow, I wasn't expecting to write that much on this post, but yeah, I would really love everyone's feedback because I would love to know what you want to see on my blog. I will also be purchasing a few little items from America for a giveaway nearer to Christmas so get excited!!

Thanks for reading.

August Favourites 2012

Goodness me, I can't believe August is over already. Seriously, can someone please tell me where that month went.. I go back to school on the 5th September so wish me luck guys!!

Overview:

iPad

So, yes, I got an iPad. I actually only got it on 29th August so I've only had it a few days. But yes, I consider it a favourite :)

I got the white 'New iPad' (or iPad 3). 

Michael Kors Crossbody Bag

I have literally only been using this bag this month. I also have this bag in pink but my black one has been used much more this month. This is quite a small bag but I find that it holds all my absolute essentials and then I'm good to go. Also, since I have been using this over a bigger bag, my back and shoulder have not been aching. Bonus! If you'd like to see a 'What's In My Bag' with this bag then leave a comment below :)

Kleenex Blotting Paper

I am in love with these things. There will be a full review coming very soon so I won't give much away. Basically, they are a necessity for people with oily skin, like me! I picked up 2 more packs of these in my recent haul post.

Miss Dior Cherie L'eau

This has been my most worn perfume of the month. I usually don't like citrusy scents but this one is simply amazing. I am so upset that they discontinued this fragrance. I will have to try the original Miss Dior Cherie when this one runs out! Also, how adorable is the bottle, it is by far my favourite out of the perfumes I own.

Maybelline 'One by One' Mascara

At first, I wasn't too keen on this mascara, I thought it was really drying out my lashes which meant it was a pain to remove. However, after giving this another go, and using my MAC Cleanse Off Oil (which is an awesome makeup remover) I had no problem with it. It separates my lashes so well and it honestly makes them look the longest they have ever looked!

The brush allows you to coat every single lash in mascara. It is a really good drugstore mascara!

Sigma F80 Brush & Real Techniques Powder Brush

I use the Sigma F80 brush to apply my foundation. I don't know why, but I really don't like applying foundation with my fingers. This brush is very densely packed and it buffs foundation in like a dream. I could not be without this brush. 

The real techniques powder brush has replaced my love for the Sigma (F20) Large Powder Brush. I do still use my sigma powder brush but I find that the real techniques brush just does a slightly better job. I still love Sigma brushes don't get me wrong.. I was thinking of doing a Makeup Brush Collection post if you guys would be interested??

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

I don't really know what to say about this powder. It is awesome. That's all. :)

La Roche-Posay 'Effaclar Duo'

Another favourite of the month would have to be Effaclar Duo. Since I started using it I have noticed a big difference in the overall texture of my skin. I also think my acne scarring has faded slightly since using this. I like it so much that I picked up two other products from the Effaclar line which you can see in my recent haul. 

Favourite song of the month:

Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

View on iTunes - here

Favourite TV Show of the month:

Pretty Little Liars. I am in love with this show!

Hope you enjoyed seeing all my favourites of the month of August!

Thanks for reading.
