July/August Favourites!

 Afternoon everyone!:-) I am here with a special little treat for you guys... and that is my JULY/AUGUST favourites! I decided to merge two months into one favourites post because at the end of July I felt like there wasn't much to talk about, so having two months worth for me works perfectly and I hope you enjoy this post!:-)
So overall there are 8 things I have been loving over the last two months, and they are:

So let's begin!:-)

SO this bronzer is from NYC and I have to say I bought this almost a year ago, but I didn't know how to use it, then I found it a few weeks ago and since then I have been LOVING it. It works really nicely blended out and gives me a nice bronzed look. (I couldn't find this online but I am sure you could pick it up in a store).


And the next product is...

 Now I have to say I am not one for eyeliner usually. I don't know why it just seems to make my eyes water, and stream... but I was going to fancy dress party as spidergirl and my cousin gave this to me to draw the web on my face. Since then however, I have been converted. I love how this liner is like a felt tip, it does a GREAT cat eye, it super easy for novices like me. I am very tempted to do a full on review very soon!


The next product is...
I bought this 'lip lacquer' back in July after seeing Zoella wear it in one of her drugstore hauls. I thought I'd give it a go and I bought it in the shade 'Luna', I really love the consistency of these lacquers, their not drying at all their pretty good in that way. The colour is like a coral-orangey shade which looks really nice with a tan.

The next product I have been loving this month is...

So here is a mascara by Rimmel London. Apparently it claims to make your eyelashes grow longer with it's 'lash accelerating formula' weather it does or not I honestly have NO IDEA. I bought his because I was in need of a new mascara and this one is actually a brown shade which is great because brown is my preferable mascara shade. The formula is great it's not too liquid-y, and the brush is surprisingly nifty! It's long and narrow but has little teeth on it which is so effective, I will certainly be buying this again.

Moving onto my next monthly favourite...

 This concealer by Collection has constantly been raved about over the blogging and YouTube world, and for about four quid you can't really go wrong can you. I love the coverage on this it's not brightening as such so it's great for any blemishes/spots/redness, but is also excellent as an under eye concealer. I have to say I am very impressed. I have this in the third shade 'Medium'.

The only downside to this product is that the writing on the packaging just seems to WIPE OFF??!! Whaaaat the devil??!!  

Anyways swiftly moving onwards...

Now I don't want to ramble too much about these because I have already done a humongous review about this on a previous postie, here. But I would be liying if I told you that I haven't been loving this product over the last couple of months. They are honestly every blonde girls dream and I would highly highly recommend.

Let's move onto nail polishes!

 This is quite an interesting one because I have never bought nail polishes from Maybelline before, I always go for Barry M (which I highly recommend by the way!). But I saw this colour and literally fell in love, it is very similar to the ELF mint cream but just lighter which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have been wearing this almost every other week for the last two months I am just not sick of it, it also has a mahoosive brush which has it's pros and cons, but overall it does make the process much quicker.

And the final product I have been loving this month...

 Once again I did a full on review of these in a previous post, I will link that here if your interested. These polishes are super pretty and glamorous, the darker shade is much brighter and requires far less layers than the lighter shade, but both are both really beautiful. The only issue with these are they are a NIGHTMARE to take off, seriously guys, be warned. But besides that I have been loving glamorizing my nails with these!
Buy these nail paints here and here for £2.99.

Apologies for the unfocused images, I will try to re-photograph ASAP.

And I think that is it for today! I hope you have enjoyed this post, if you did do give it a lovely little comment as I love reading them it really does brighten up my day.

June favourites!

Good morning everyone, I hope your week has been beautiful and wonderful, I''m sorry this is so dreadfully late (where did this month go?!) but still it's only fitting to do my favourite products/things of the month:


SO these are the bad boys this month, I will now go into further detail as to what and why they are my favourites, enjoy :-)!







First up is a blush from ELF. You can buy it online for £3.75, buy it here. This is a beautifully simple blush, it's not too shimmery it's pretty matte and basic, but that's what makes it so great. You can apply one layer for a simple glow, or layer it up for a more defined look. I have been wearing this everyday throughout June.






Blueberry ice cream! This is my faaaavourite nail varnish right now, that and strawberry ice cream. I bought this while in Bristol and I can happily say I've fell in love. I'm wearing the colour in this favourites as you can probably tell. This colour is sooo summery and beautiful, it has the perfect amount of shine and only requires one to two layers. You can buy this for £2.99. Buy here...







Next up is a shaving cream & shower gel in one. This is the nivea double effect shower and shave and basically its just a really great shaving cream. The gel itself is white and pearly if that makes sense. It's extremely frothy and bubbly which is perfect for shaving, and just gives you a really clean shave which feels super soft. A little bit goes a really long way too which is always a plus I must say. I bought this from poundland for you guessed it £1, I'm sure you could pick it up elsewhere too.




The next product I have raved and raved about on this blog so much already, I have a review you can easily check out, as I have spoken about it so much already I don't want to ramble on. Basically this is a great summer exfoliator it smells great, a little but goes a long way, it's quick and it leaves your skin feeling the softest of the soft I cannot recommend this enough. You can buy this for £8.00, buy here...




This has been my staple leg moisturizer for probably a year now. The best thing about this is that it claims to slow down the growth of hair which is exactly what I need I'm like a cactus I really am even after one day!:O I used this endlessly on holiday it's almost like a milk it's super runny and super effective and I agree that after probably a week of daily use, you begin to see the difference in the speed of growth, very scientific! You can purchase this for £5.25 buy it here... another thing I highly recommend for my fellow cactuses!;-)




This next product is a lip balm. I'm going to be honest, I suffer with chapped lips particularly in winter, I never used to, ever since I started wearing lipstick for some reason...? But anyway every morning I like a really buttery lip balm as opposed to my body shop lip roll on which is quite oily. This is just really soothing and fixed my chapped lips problem in no more than a week. Another great and I mean  GREAT thing about this balm is how cheap it is, you can purchase this at tesco and I believe tesco only. I couldn't find it online but you can just pop into the store their £1.25 for THREE. Theres this green one, then two original blue ones you can't miss them. Unless of course their sold because they are just so damn popular, this is a frequent issue with this balm. Once again, highly recommend!




One type of product have been particularly enjoying is waterproof mascara. I had prom this month and lots of my friends I'll probably never see again and so I suspected tear and ran to boots to get a waterproof mascara. This bad boy was only £1.99 PURE BARGAIN! This product is not only lovely and cheap, but it is also very much waterproof. It's a nightmare to get off but then at least I know it's doing it's job I suppose? The brush is strange but after a few applications I got used to it. Happy chappyy:-) buy it here...






This next product is probably slightly strange but then again we all need to use deodorant. Hot weather tends to mean more sweat, uw. This is not only off putting when you can smell it on someone, but also SEEING bit patches isn't too pleasant so this deodorant has been my best friend this month. It's called clean sensation and it is such a nice fresh feeling. It's almost foamy if that makes sense. I don't think it lasts 48 hours but it's still and all-dayer and I highly recommend this. I'm not too sure on the scent I think it's meant to be odour-free but then again I can't smell so I'm not too sure. Buy it here...

The final thing I've been loving during the month is my converse or as I've been calling my PROM-verse. I wore these to prom (post dedicated coming soon!) and they were the comfiest most cool shoes ever. I don't want to give anything away, but they are just so worth the money, they last a lifetime, Mr Chuck Taylor, I LOVE YOU!:-D



And that's it for my favourite products last month. I do hope you have enjoyed this post if you have do give it a lovely little comment like you usually do they make me soooo happy and I love reading and commenting. Thank you so much for reading I shall see you all very soon, I hope you all have a lovely week:-) love Annie:-)xxx
