My January/February Beauty Favourites
Hello everyone! I thought I'd do a favourites post today and keep it specifically to beauty!
Twilight Woods triple moisture body cream
My first favourite is the Bath & BodyWorks Twilight Woods body cream. I purchased this when I was in Florida last summer. I hadn't used it until recently as I class it as more of a winter scent, and I love it. It's a great body cream and if i remember correctly it was an amazing price for the size! On the back of the product it describes the smell as 'a hypnotic blend of apricot nectar, mimosa petals,and tuscan cypress inspired by the warmth of woods at twilight'.
Zoeva Luxe Sheer Cheek//Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
Recently my skin had a bad turn and using a brush to apply foundation was making it look worse, but the Real Techniques sponge covered it so well! It has been my life saver the past three weeks! I have also loved using the Zoeva brush to apply bronzer.
(My brushes/sponge are all due for a wash tonight sorry about that)
Benefit's Hoola Bronzer
I have been loving the hoola bronzer since I purchased it last summer but recently I've been using it every day. It gives off such a nice bronzed look if you apply a small amount of product which I love.
Tanya Burr Nail polish in the colour Penguin Chic
I own a few of the Tanya Burr and I have completely fallen in love with this colour. It comes out grey with a purple undertone.
Benefit's They're Real Mascara
I'm pretty sure everyone has tried this product so I'm not going to write much about it, just that I have fallen back in love with it when I want just a thin subtle coat, it can be built up to be much thicker but I prefer to use different mascara's for fuller lashes.
Bumble and bumble Surf Spray
I also purchased this while I was in Florida and I love it when my hair is feeling a bit flat which is quite often as it is naturally very straight.
Giorgio Armani Si Perfume
I was given this perfume for Christmas and love to use it for events/special occasions. The smell is long lasting which you'd expect from an expensive perfume. It has a hint of blackcurrant while still being quite a musky scent.
What have you been loving recently?

A little update! Birthday and London
Hi guys! I'm sorry I've been lacking with posts recently but school suddenly got so busy and I had no time to just sit down and write! I thought I'd just do a little update post to tell you what's been going on!
It was my birthday last week and I turned 16 YAY! School has also got very busy now as exams are getting so close! It's half term this week so in between all the revision and homework I have I'm going to write as many posts as possible and schedule them for the next few weeks!
As I said it was my birthday last week and it was amazing! I'm so thankful for everything I got!
I celebrated with my friends and family and I loved it!
Here's a few pictures!
Last night we also took a trip into London to see Wicked and it was AMAZING! I can't put into words how much I enjoyed it! I also found myself crying at Defying Gravity oops!

Thankyou for all the lovely comments you've all been leaving and I'm so sorry about the lack of posts but that should be sorted soon! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

My Polaroid Pictures | Part one
I thought I'd do a post about my polaroid. It's a post I'd love to keep as a regular thing. I like the idea of showing these small irreplaceable moments with you all. So this is going to be part one, it shows all the pictures taken in 2014 and few from the beginning of this year.
I own the Pink Fujifilm Instax mini 8 and I received it as a birthday present last February and I am in love with it. It has an amazing quality and I know I'll keep these photos for the rest of my life. On each photo I like to write the date, in years to come the day and month won't really have much significance, but I want to be able to look back on the year and remember how amazing it was and how much fun I had. When I take a polaroid I always think 'I'm going to be able to remember this moment forever because of this' and I love it. Things such as my holiday to Florida I'll always remember, but a moment like my friends and I cooking fajitas and dancing to Taylor Swift I won't, and I want to be able to look back and think 'I had such amazing time' because I'm so grateful for the life I am living right now.
That's enough soppy-ness haha, but here is Part One of my polaroids, February 2014-January 2015.

My Winter Lookbook
I decided to put together a few of my favourite winter outfits. The pictures aren't great as it's hard to shoot outfit pictures on your own! I have listed underneath each picture where everything is from, I would wear black high top converse, or the boots I featured in this post.
I don't tend to feel the cold, so if you do just add a jacket or scarf with the outfits!
Leather Jacket - H&M
Cropped Jumper - Ark
Skirt - Topshop
Coat - New Look
Dress - Boohoo
Top - Forever 21
Jeans - Topshop
I'd add the leather jacket and the scarf I featured in this post.
Top - Aeropostale
Shorts - Forever 21
I'd add the leather jacket with this outfit.
Dress - Forever 21
I'd wear this with the blue coat to add some colour to the outfit.
Which outfits do you guys like? What items of clothing are in your winter wardrobe?

My 2014 Favourites
As I've only recently started this blog, I decided that it would be a good idea to do a post about beauty and fashion items I loved during 2014. I thought it would be a good way for you to get to know a bit more about the things I like, and what my posts will be featuring in the future.
My first favourites of the year are my two most used makeup brushes, the Real Techniques Expert Face brush and the Mac 187 brush. I often use the real techniques brush for both foundation and concealer.
Rimmel stay matte powder in 001 Transparent
Maybelline dream satin liquid foundation in 10 ivory, in my opinion this is the best foundation I've ever tried, and I've been using it throughout all of 2014
Benefit's Porefessional Primer
Collection lasting perfection concealer in Fair 1
e.l.f Mineral INFUSED Mascara
Rimmel glam eyes liquid liner
eos mint lip balm
Barry M lipstick in 160 this product became a favourite towards the end of year, my favourite lipstick during the whole year was the Perrie Edwards Collection Lipstick
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
Taylor Swift Wonderstruck I switch between loving the two different Taylor Swift perfumes, but this one is definitely my favourite.
I have loved the Topshop Joni Jeans (I have the high waisted ones) for a long time, I wear the black ones pretty much every day
And my last favourite is a bit random, but I got my polaroid for my birthday last February and I've loved it SO much. I have the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 and it's perfect for capturing my favourite moments.
What did you love during 2014?

Change
I'm not one for change. I like the same things, but only when it comes to the little things in life. I hate routine, I feel as if all I ever do it get ready, all I ever do is go to bed. I want something new to do, and I want it to happen as soon as it can.
At this moment in time, I'm having to decided what I want to do next. I've chosen to apply for sixth form, and I've decided on what I want to study, but I constantly feel like I'm not good enough. Everyone has soomething they're good at, why don't I?
Wanderlust.
I'm certain about one thing I want from the future. I want to travel, and see everything I can. After being on holiday in the summer, I realised that maybe I like being disconnected from my friends. While I was away I could do what I wanted, I didn't have to speak to anyone, because I was so far from anyone I knew. Most of my friends know what they want in life, leaving me as the odd one out, the one that doesn't take things seriously, but I know that I don't want to be stuck in one place for the rest of my life.
Yes maybe I'd like to go to university, but only if i find my passion. At the moment I want to live my dream, I want to see the world. I know that I'll have to wait a few years for this all to happen, but at least I have something to look forward to that I want, and not just doing something because others are.
What do you guys want to do next?
Thankyou for reading x
