Nina by Nina Riche Fragrance Review (Day 36)

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite fragrances ever!

One of my best friends bought me this for my birthday and to be honest I really was not expecting too much. I am quite particular with the scents I like to wear and was anxious to try this out.

Honestly though, it smells amazing. It's not to intense and over- powering but it can still be smelt. It is very feminine and fresh and is quite floral and fruity. It is honestly just a lovely scent and I love wearing it in everyday life. It's kind of like you're trying but not trying to hard.

What I really love about this perfume though is the packaging. I mean it's an apple. It always reminds me of the evil Queens apple in Snow White so I really love the kind of Disney theme.

Maybelline 24 Hour Super Stay Foundation Review (Day 40)

Now normally I do not stray from my foundation! I am all about the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, however I had heard some good things about the Maybelline 24 Super Stay Foundation so thought I give it a go.

As much as it has its good points, there was one massive flaw which ruined it for me. Although I bought the lightest shade of this foundation it was way to dark for me. Now I am used to foundation often being too dark for me as I am super pale but this was different. It was dark but automatically sent my skin a horrible orange shade! I won't lie it didn't look great, even with a lot of blending I just could not get this to work!

However in terms of it's coverage, it was faultless. It covered all my blemishes and left my skin one tone (all be it orange) so if you have darker skin I feel like this would be great for you.

I have still found use with this product though! I've found that if I mix a little bit of this with a moisturiser or a lighter foundation I have found that it helps it to stay put all day. 

I feel like this product has the potential to be great, I just wish they would make one for my skin tone!

Tsum Tsum Crazy! (Day 35)

I am a little bit obsessed with Tsum Tsums. A craze that originated in Japan, the little Disney Bean Bag characters are just perfect. They stack on top of one another and they are quite a subtle way to Disney. I've only picked up a few so far as I am waiting to go to Disneyland Paris in March so I can hopefully pick up some more.

It's safe to say I am in love with the little things!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Review (Day 37)

It's official, I have tried a BB Cream.

I've always been very anti BB cream. I have always assumed that because it is a light coverage  it just wasn't for me. As I have quite severe acne, I've always favoured heavy foundations that completely cover my spots. However this was on a 3 for 2 in boots and I thought I would see what all the fuss was about. Now I would not go as far to say I am converted to BB cream but it did surprise me. It offers more coverage than I thought it would. I would only wear this on a day when my skin is looking quite clear and I would still wear concealer over my problem areas but I would definitely consider it. 

What I would say is that the shade is perfect. I have very pale skin so finding any type of makeup to match my skin tone is near on impossible. However I bought the lightest shade of this and it works perfectly. It is just the right tone, so good job Maybelline.

I feel like in the summer this will be perfect. It is light and would not melt off of your face. It also has a high SPF so it would offer my skin some much needed protection. I guess that is something I will have to try.

So BB cream is not all bad and I would definitely consider using it on good skin days and in the summer but for now the BB cream is benched.

Who knows maybe one day I will be converted!

January favourites (Day 34)

So I finally feel well enough to finish this post! It feels good to be kind of healthy again.

As January has come to an end I thought I'd do my January favourites! I've decided to try and do this at the end of every month. I'm going to do favourites in categories, so there will be; make up, beauty, shop, music and miscellaneous.

So without further ado...

1. Make- up: Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in  starry eyed (128)
I have been absolutely loving darker shades of lipstick for the winter time. I find myself gravitating towards dark reds and dark purples but it's hard to find ones that last for longer than an hour. Now don't get me wrong, the rimmel lipstick does not last all day but it does last for a very long time!  It stays put and does not smudge, which is everything I want from a lipstick. It's also a beautiful colour. This matte lipstick is somewhere between a dark red and a dark purple and it's honestly beautiful.

2. Music: Katie Sky- Monsters

I love, love, love this song. Ever since I watched Dizzy Brunettes engagement vlog (which honestly was the most beautiful video I have ever seen) I have been absolutely obsessed with monsters. The lyrics are so well written and the music is perfect. I have had this on repeat for the entire month.

3. Beauty: Pantene Pro V Perfect Hydration Shampoo
I am honestly IN LOVE with this shampoo!. My Mum actually brought this shampoo for herself (She is literally obsessed with buying new shampoos, I never buy my own) but soon got bored of it so I ended up with it. I just assumed it was another one of her useless cast- offs but I was so wrong. It is one of the best shampoos I have ever used. It leaves my hair so shiny and soft and really helps with the damage I do to my hair with heat and product.

4. Miscellaneous: The Ellen Show
FINALLY, Elly is on the telly! I have been watching the Ellen Show on 'Ellen Tube' for years and have only dreamed about being able to watch the entire episode but as of the 18th January I actually could! ITV2 bought the rights ad now I get my hour long, daily dose of the Ellen show. I absolutely adore Ellen. She stands for so much goodness in the world and her show always makes me smile. I me smile. I am so grateful that I can finally watch the full episodes.

5. Shop: Newlook

Newlook have some amazing clothes in at the minute. The clothes are perfect for the winter/ spring with pieces that will go through both seasons. It is also so affordable. I brought the top in the picture for £9.99, the jumper for £7.99 and the high waisted jeans for £22.99. I am absolutely loving this mustard colour as I really think it will transition through the seasons.

So there you have my January favourites, who knows what February will bring!

Hot mess (Day 33)

So...I'm still ill and it honestly sucks. I felt worse today and considering it was the day of my first exam, that definitely was not a good thing!

But I'll keep my chin up and come back fighting

Feeling poorly! (Day 32)

After promising yesterday that my blog would have better quality posts, I've failed at the first hurdle! I had big plans to have a beautiful post about my January favourites but I needed to do the photos and today I feel so ill! So I'm really sorry but I promise it will get better! 

So I'll leave you with this cute little quote I found on Pinterest earlier today
