September Favourites








It's that time again. I know everyone says it but I can't believe how quickly this year is going, only feels like yesterday I was at a New Year's Eve party thinking about the year ahead!
 My first favourite is this L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin extra strength and sleep perfection Hairspray. Now I've been using Elnett hairspray for a very long time, but this one is in my favourites because the smell is so much nicer than the normal Elnett Hairspray! I don't know exactly what it is but I feel like this one has a sweeter smell whereas the other, in my opinion, just doesn't smell nice at all, which isn't very good when you keep getting a waft of it throughout the day.

My next favourite is the Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express mascara. I've been using the same mascara for over a year (Seventeen Blowout Mascara) and after watching many beauty guru's on Youtube who rave about Maybelline Mascara's, I knew I had to try one. This mascara is just fab, it lengthens lashes, and volumises them without clumping which I think everyone looks for in a mascara. The ONLY negative thing about this mascara is when I put it on the bottom lashes, it rubs off under my eyes and half way through the day I end up looking like a panda..

Another favourite of mine this month is the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Peach on The Beach. This is just such a lovely colour, and the formula is so nice as well, it has the same coverage as a lipstick, but in glossy form! It's not drying on the lips and just feels and looks lovely!

When I went to London the other week, I went into Boots and after months of wanting one, I finally picked up a half pink half purple tangle teaser. This is different to your bog standard brush as you can use it on dry and wet hair without damaging it! It just glides through your hair getting out all the knots and tangles without pulling and I just think it's a great product. I definitely recommend!

My last beauty favourites of this month are two nail polishes. Both sort of nude colours with one being from Collection and the other Barry M (of course). The collection 2000 polish is in the colour "Milkshake" and is a lovely brown/pink/orange shade. I wore it the other day and it was so shiny unlike some other polishes which need a few coats of top coat to make it look half decent! It didn't chip and is just a lovely colour for Autumn time :) The Barry M polish is in the shade vanilla which I picked up whilst in London in the Topshop Oxford Circus branch and it has a matte finish which I love. This polish is also a great Autumn colour!

Now I have two favourite songs of the month, both from two lovely boybands!

The first is The Vamps - Can We Dance. Just a lovely catchy song that always gets me singing along!

Lastly is Lawson - Juliet. I am a big fan of Lawson and always think they bring out such great songs!


Do you have any favourites of this month? x

Birthday Haul












There's always a lot of debate about these kinds of posts, some people love reading them, and others just hate them because they're seen as "bragging". Personally, I love these sort of posts/videos as I'm quite nosey and like looking at what people receive for their birthday! So if you don't like these sort of posts, STOP READING NOW. Haha.
 It was my birthday on Thursday the 12th September, and I turned 18! Wooow scary, no longer a child and finally an adult.
From my parents I got a Michael Kors watch, which I was so so happy with. I wouldn't have even thought about asking for this normally, but my mum said when you turn 18 and 21, it's a bit more special so you get something you wouldn't normally. It's a lovely rose gold colour with little diamantes around the edge and I'm so so grateful my Mum and Dad bought this for me.
 My brother gave me the me to you teddy bear which is holding a key with "18" which I think sweet, I have a few of these bears and I just think they are lovely and something you can keep for a long while. I received various pieces of lovely jewellry from some other family members including 2 bracelets and a matching necklace and earring set.
 I don't think many people reading this will know, but if you follow my twitter you'll know I'm an avid fan of One Direction, and what do you know one of my lovely friends decided to get me a Niall doll, which I think is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Also One Direction related, I got this cute cushion from one of my friends as well. I also got a champagne glass as it is my eighteenth ;) along with some maoam sweets (yum) and some smellies!
 Finally I got given three new Barry M nail polishes to add to my collection! Love me some Barry M nail polish.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what kinds of things you get for your birthday! :)
