October Favourites

 

 

 

This year is actually going so fast! October went so quickly and now it is November already? Say what?! Haha I guess that can only mean it is time for my monthly favourites.

Beauty

I recently picked up the w7 palette 'In the Nude' as I had seen a few bloggers talking about it a while back. You can probably see from the packaging it is VERY similar to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, even the shades are pretty much the same. The shadows are very blendable and gorgeous colours! Before I go into too much detail, I have a post on this coming very soon so keep you're eyes peeled for a full review on that! If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to £37 UD palette, this is great for you at £6! 

You have probably seen this Nina Ricci Lipstick (unfortunately still remains shadeless) floating around in a few of my recent blog posts this month. But that's because I have been obsessing over it! It was limited edition around last year (maybe the year before) so I don't think it is available anymore. It is a gorgeous dark berry shade, perfect autumn shade! It is a glossy finish however which means it can slip and slide but the colour is stunning which is what draws me to it the most.

As it gets much more colder in winter, baths become inevitable which means I can bring out the Lush bath bombs. I recently rediscovered my love for the Comforter Bubble Bar from Lush. It is my ultimatefavourite  product of theirs I have ever tried. At only £4.95 it is such a bargain as you can cut it up (it's massive) and use it about 5 times, maybe even more! And don't even get me started in the smell, mmmm lushhhh!

Book

I've read the book: The Host by Stephanie Meyer about a year ago, however, this month I realised I never actually finished it oops! So I decided to read it again (from the beginning, not where I left off haha or I would never remember the story!) and I've really been enjoying it! It's quite a long book but I think it is very interesting and not boring at all! It is very gripping, adventurous, sad and enjoyable to read! I also love the film!

TV

My Dad introduced my sister and I to a show he used to watch about 10 years ago called Lost and wow let me just say I have never been as hooked onto a TV show as this one. It is by far the best show ever and in about 2 weeks we have got through 2 seasons so far. It's about survivors of a plane crash in a mysterious island with lots of creepy mysteries. There are so many unanswered questions at the end of each episode you just have to watch the next one.

YouTube

I have been loving watching the Saccone Jolys as they are just so adorable! If you don't know who they are, they are a family who make daily vlogs but they are just so fun and their two children Emilia and Eduardo are actually the cutest. 

Music

Majestic Casual - Say My Name (Remix)

Labrinth - Let it Be

So that is all from me I hope you enjoyed this months favourites! Have a nice day, bye!

Top 5 Thursday - Perfumes

 

 

 

 

 

Perfumes are one of those necessities in life, without them everything would be so plain and scentless. A perfume can brighten up your day when you spray it on, it can also brighten up someone walking past you's day. However, picking a perfume can be very tricky as there are so many out there that all smell amazing, so I have put together my top 5 for you. I'm going to make 'Top 5 Thursday' a monthly thing so keep your eyes peeled for that! Most of the perfumes I have chosen are sweet, florally fruity scents as those are my favourite, but there are also some more sophisticated scents as well. Also these aren't in any order :)

Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacob perfumes are my favourite, mainly because of their packaging but they also smell incredible. I actually love the Daisy Summer Edition one but it was limited edition so I didn't think it would be nice to put it in here as you can't purchase it any more. Anyway, the Daisy Eau So Fresh perfume has a very light and delicate floral smell. It also has a slight fruitiness in the scent which is probably why I love it. It smells amazing and it is totally worth spending your money on. It lasts for quite a long time but its lasting power doesn't shock me. I like this because it isn't too strong but it's not too light that you can't smell it, it's just in-between :D

Princess by Vera Wang

For some reason my perfume isn't purple like others that I have seen, but it still smells just as lovely. Its quite hard to describe, but it has some hints of vanilla in it. It is also quite florally and has a slight musky scent to it as well. Definitely go and give this a sniff in your local boots, the packaging is also beautiful and the lid is like a little crown!

Insolence by Guerlain
If you are looking for a sweet smelling perfume that isn't to sickly, I recommend this perfume by Guerlain. When I spray it, I think of lush and sweet shops as it is so sweet and girly. But it isn't an artificial sickly sweet scent, its more enchanting and magical haha.

Nina by Nina Ricci
I absolutely love this perfume because of its fruity and sweet scent. I am a sucker for fruity scents and this one has hints of apple and grapefruit. The packaging is alsolovely as the perfume bottle is shaped like an apple and it looks very eye catching.

Lovestruck by Vera Wang

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing the packaging is, I love it! This perfume is a lot less girly and delicate than the others. I'd say its more sophisticated and musky, but still smells lovely nonetheless. Its probably more of an evening scent but its not too strong and overpowering. I really recommend this if you are looking for something that isn't too floral and sweet.

So there we have it! My top 5 perfumes. I hope my descriptions were good enough for you, if you've ever tried describing a perfume then you know how difficult it is, well for me anyway. I hope you liked this blog post and thank you for reading. Have a nice day, bye!
