January Favourites!

As it's coming to the end of the month, I thought I would share with you a few of my beauty faves from this month!

W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara

This mascara is brilliant and really lengthens curls your lashes. There is a huge wand for application and it catches every single lash. This is a great alternative to the Benefit They're Real mascara. This costs only £6.95 or just £3.99 from outlet stores. It is a great quality and long lasting product which I highly recommend.


W7 In the Buff Lightly Toasted Palette

The colours in this palette are all stunning and they blend together very easily. There are 12 shades, with a variety of matte and shimmers. I love creating a smoky look with this palette as it looks very elegant. They are very long wearing and highly pigmented. This costs just £9.99 or £5.99 at outlet stores. For people experimenting with different nude looks I highly recommend this palette.

Sprinkle Of Glitter 2016 Diary

I have never really been in to keeping a diary with important dates etc. However, I bought this one because I love youtubers and all of there merch. To my surprise it has actually come in really useful with keeping up to date on homework and blog posts (have u noticed there has been a post every week this month!) I was totally shocked when I opened this to find that it was signed by Sprinkle of Glitter herself. AMAZING! I highly recommend a diary to anyone who is trying to be a bit more organised!

Lush Bath Bombs 

I really love coming in from a busy day at school and having a soak in a nice Lush bath. After Christmas, Lush reduce all of their Xmas range by 50%. When i went sale shopping I bought a tonne of Lush stuff fo such an amzing price. I love all of the Lush bath bombs, but some of my favourite Xmas ones are Yog Nog and Shoot for the Stars. Both change the colour of your bath water, and leave your skin feeling hydrated and fresh.

Primark Black Boots

I have wanted a pair of these boots for quite a while and I was lucky to finally get some in the Boxing Day sales. They were only £10 which I think is an amzing price. The heel is about three and a half inches high. I do get a small amount of pain the the sole of my foot when I wear them for long periods of time, however, I think this is because I am not used to wearing heels this high on a daily basis. They are perfect for any outfit; casual or smart.

Body Shop Vitamin E Cream Exfoliator

 I have been through quite a few different exfoliators over the past few years, however, this is definitely my favourite. It is very gentle on the skin but still unclogs pores and removes dry skin. I use this every other day because I have very dry skin. It always leaves me feeling fresh and hydrated. The scent is lovely but not too overpowering.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the things I have been loving this month. Leave your favourites in the comments below!

Don't follow the crowd, be unique, be you. No one is perfect, but everyone is beautiful.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette- Golden Sugar

  









A couple of weeks ago I posted about another blush palette by Makeup Revolution, in Sugar and Spice. I thought that today I would review my other blush palette in golden sugar.

I wouldn't really use these shades as blushers, however, they work perfectly for contour and bronzing. There are also shades for highlighting. I love the marble effect on some of the shades, I find it adds more definition to the colour. 

Just like the other palette there is a great mirror, perfect for the application of the product. The packaging is very simple, but looks very professional. For only £6 this palette is totally worth every penny.

Quote of The Week

Beauty doesn't come from the makeup you wear, it comes from the actions you make, and how you treat other people. If you are beautiful inside, it will show on the outside.

Pretty Little Liars!

OMG! Never have I been so hooked on a Tv show. I started watching this at the end of December, and from the first episode I couldn't turn it off! 
For a bit of background info, Pretty Little Liars is about a group of 5 girls. One of them goes missing, and the other 4 grow apart. That is until, the body is found and the 4 girls reunite. They are trying to find out who killed their friend. Whilst all this is happening, they begin receiving messages from someone called A. They have to try and find out who A is.

I am currently on series 2, so no spoilers please! but already I know that that the revealing of A is going to be huge! I highely recommend this show to anyone looking for a murder mystery/ love story series. 

If you have watched PLL, comment below your favourite character! Mine is currently Aria, she is very good at taking control of situations. Her love life is very confusing but she seems to have complete control of what she is doing!

If anyone has any other reccomendations of TV shows I might enjoy, please leave them below!

A lot of the quotes I will post will be from Audrey Hepburn. She is a massive inspiration to everyone!

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette- Sugar and Spice

Makeup Revolution is a brand, which I believe is completly under-rated. There makeup is AMAZING and is soooo cheap. 

This blush Palette has some wondeful shades, with a variety of shimmers and mattes. It only cost £6 which is a great price for 8 blushers. 

Not only are there blushers, but some can be used as bronzers, contour and highlight. My favourite shades are the marbled colours. Not only do they look amazing in the packaging, but they look so pretty on your cheeks. They are also very pigmented, so they last a very long time. 

There is also a great mirror in the packaging which is HUGE! It is perfect for applying your makeup when your on holiday, and may not have a mounted mirror to use.

Overall Rating:
Shades: 8
Pigmentation: 9
Packaging: 8
Cost: 10
Overall: 35/40

True beauty comes from within! Never forget that everyone is beautiful, yes, even you!

W7 In The Buff Lightly Toasted Review

This is definitely my favourite Naked palette dupe by W7. The colours are a range of shimmers and mattes, and there is a variety of light and dark shades.
They are all very highely pigmented and they look STUNNING when on the eyes! They are very easy to blend so this palette is perfect for creating smoky looks.


The colours are just as good and almost identical. The packaging is very simple but looks very appealing. There are 5 of these palettes altogether, of which I own 4. The others are equally as high quality, however, these colours are my favourite.
The cost of this palette was only £5.99 which is a fraction of the price of a Naked palette.

I highely recommend these palettes to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative, but equally as high qulity, Naked palette.
