February Favourites!!!

Hello you,
First of all thank you for taking time out of your day to read this, it means a lot! Before you even read ahead I'd like you to comment below on how you are today!
***
So for you today I decided to do a February Favourites blog post because it is already March 2nd and I haven't done one of these before. I decided not to just make it centered around make-up because it is not everybody's cup of tea, and I don't update my make-up bag as often as I probably should. Also, I have some other things that I'd like to share with you.
***
First of all, I bought "The Pointless Book" and "Love, Tanya" with money left over from Christmas. I'm only around half way through Tanya's book and I am enjoying it a lot. However, I have not yet started reading Alfie Deyes' book because I'm too engrossed in Tanya's book at the minute. I love the layout of Tanya's book, and the way that it involves its readers in it-listing top ten ways to do things, top 10 moments etc. I also like how it gives us an insight into Tanya's history, some things we maybe wouldn't know about just from her YouTube videos and vlogs!
***
I also bought the bodycare 96 eyeshadow make-up palette. I use these more as base colours than my main, prominent eyeshadow colour as they are quite "weak" eyeshadows... they aren't as strong as other eyeshadows I have. However, I love these a lot because they are in 96 shades and there are a lot of different gradients of colours.
***
I'd also then just like to add that my friend bought me a notebook for my birthday like 2years ago and I love it so much. It has little monsters on it and I think it is from paperchase. I think I like it so much because the lines are quite big.. I have awkwardly large handwriting:* It just really cute and quirky - <3
***
Next, I have some more base eyeshadows. I'm not gonna go into much detail about these but they were from Primark, I think they were like 2 pounds or something but they are just really cute, portable and nice as base colours or on top of prominent colour to add a little glitter/sparkle.
***
And finally, I realized I hadn't shared with you what mascara products I use. So for a natural day to day look I tend to go for 1 coat of the No7 Intense Volume mascara. I have used this mascara since when I started using mascara (not the same one obviously but yeah) and I love it so much. Just one coat can intensify my lashes and give them a hell of a lot of volume. With having to wear glasses, it brings the worry that my make-up is hidden by the silver and blue frames of my glasses, but with this mascara, I feel as if my troubles have been solved and I'm free to wear mascara. I don't know about you but at school, I tend to keep my face natural, with only concealer on any big outbreaks of skin so I rarely wear it to school but it works so it is always there when I need it.


You'll also notice in the picture there is a smaller white bottle of "LashExtender". This is amazing! I don't use this very often because it can overpower a make-up look but when you need a substantial amount of mascara to make your eyes stand out this is my go to. It thickens mascara and you apply it inbetween coats, alternating between mascara and the product itself. It allows your eyelashes to become thicker and look bolder. It really heightens a smoky eye or a pale colour needing a little attention. I love it so much and really do recommend this to all my viewers and fans as it is just holy grail and a must have in a make-up bag.

Lipcare?!

Aloha guys,

As you all know, in England it's pretty cold all the time and so today I decided to do a daily lipcare routine blog in the hope that you'll get rid of chapped, dry and irritable lips! I'm going to provide you with a range of products that are all high street products that you can pick up at your local drugstore!

Firstly, I have two of the most moisturising lip balms ever...well two of the most moisturising lip balms I've ever come across and not have I been looking! Firstly the Carmex little tub is one of my absolute holy grails when it come to winter because it not only locks in moisture and adds moisture, but makes lipstick more easily applicable to your lips! For a natural lip I would use this and then use the so...kiss me? Lip balm...yes it is the same as that amazing perfume! 
I use these two together and I just think they hydrate and mend my lips so well! I'd also like to add that the so...? Kiss me one smells so nice, it's like the body shop strawberry scent, it's just so amazing!

Next up we have baby lips! Now I know that this is quite a cliché product, but it is a really good product and adds effortless moisture to your lips! And as an added bonus with the electro ones-or certainly the one I have- that it acts as a coloured lipstick whilst hydrating and moisturising your lips! 
These 3 are my favourites as they all do unique things and are just so utterly gorgeous! The only flaw I've found is that pink punch (the one stood up on the right) seems to be a bit too soft and often leaves clumps of the balm on my lips! Leave in the comments below if you've had this problem/if there is a solution to this!

My final product is a recent purchase where I was just looking for something a little more colourful for my lips.
 Although it may not feel like spring right now, I want to get in the spirit and start wearing brighter colours! So I looked and I found what if hoped for! This Kelly Brook lipgloss is from New Look! Yes, it is a lipgloss... Technically not lipcare... But it is superhydrating and adds a lovely colour to my lips!
Also can we talk about this amazing packaging, I mean rose gold<3 it's all so right! I think I was drawn in by the packaging and I know I probably shouldn't have been but I was and it is so gorgeous!

I'm going to end this blog here, I hope you guys like it and comment below!xxx
