Current Favourites

I didn't want this post to be an August favourites because some of these I have only recently started liking, but some of these have been my favourites since the beginning of July. But I haven't done a monthly favourites in a while so I thought I would merge them altogether and do a Current Favourites!

Beauty

I'm going to start off with a new mascara I bought recently which is the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. I picked up the waterproof version because funnily enough out of all my mascaras none of them are actually waterproof. I had quite high expectations for this mascara because of all the great reviews that it has had, and I was not disappointed! This mascara is incredible, in a matter of seconds my lashes are fully curled and super long and look amazing, and that is with only one coat! I think the brush is really good and so is the formula! However bit of a pain to remove but I think that's just what most waterproof mascaras are like.

My next beauty favourite is The Body Shop Instablur Primer. Again, like the mascara, I had quite high expectations due to the high reviews. This primer is really good if you have oily skin as it really matti firs the skin and keeps your makeup on and prevents it from sliding off. So as it has been summer (well currently it is pouring with rain and the sun is nowhere to be seen,) this primer has dealt with the heat very nicely I think. It has kept my face matte and made my makeup last a long time, which is what I hoped it would do so it has ticked all the boxes for me!

The next favourite is a skincare product, it's The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil. This stuff is incredible! You are supposed to apply it to any blemishes you have and it will help to make them disappear. And it definitely does. When my skin broke out for a bit, I just applied a tiny amount, you really don't need a lot, of the oil before I went to bed and the next morning the spot had reduced in size and redness. I would really recommend this if you struggle with finding a product that deals with blemishes as it really does the job!

Music

I've been listening to so much music lately, especially when I was on my school trip in China, so I have a fee favourites! (Also ignore the fact that in the picture I used my iPod which is about 5 years old so it looks very different to the music on apple nowadays!)

Years & Years - Communion (specifically these songs - Eyes Shut, Ties, Shine, Without, Ready For You, Border)

Taylor Swift - Speak Now (old but it's one of my favourites! Specifically these songs - Enchanted, Long Live, Sparks Fly, Dear John, Better Than Revenge, pretty much every song actually.)

Selena Gomez - Good For You

The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face, The Hills

Disclosure ft Sam Smith - Omen

Fashion

When it was very sunny and when I went to China, sunglasses were such a necessity! The ones I have been wearing are actually from Primark but they look really cool especially with the gold and the matte black frame.

A New Mascara Favourite

 

 

If you saw my most recent post which was a January Favourites, you will know that recently I have been loving the L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara. And you can probably tell by the title, that this post is all about that mascara!

Firstly, let's just take a moment to adore the packaging of thinks mascara, but to be honest loreal packaging is always on point! It always looks very classy and good quality, I think the gold and purple look so nicely together as well.

The mascara has a plastic applicator; but it is much softer and has very small bristles. I really like this about the mascara, because although it is more gentle, it still lengthens and defines my lashes very nicely! It works instantly to make my lashes look fuller and much longer. Most mascaras take a bit of time for them to work, but this mascara is so quick and not clumpy at all! I really recommend this mascara if you want long and fluttery lashes as this mascara is amazing at doing that!
 

Current Favourites

 

 

 

 

Instead of doing a December Favourites, I decided to do a Current favourites because most of the products in this post I haven't actually loved all throughout December, mainly towards the end of the month.  So this post is a collab with Laura (www.beautyybylauraa.blogspot.co.uk) you should all check her blog out as she's so lovely and so is her blog!

Makeup
I have a post coming up on this in 2 days so I won't go into too much detail. But I am just in love with the Barry M Starry Eyed Palette. I mean, just look at it! The colours are gorgeous and perfect for winter. As I said a post is coming up on this, but I just love this palette and I couldn't not mention it! I've also recently been obsessed with winged eyeliner, the eyeliner I've been using is the Collection Fast Stroke eyeliner. It makes eyeliner so easy as its very liquidy and glides on like a dream! I am definitely going to be doing a How to do Eyeliner post soon! Next up are two lipsticks which I am currently loving! The first one is the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107, I used this in my Christmas Day Makeup so you can check that out here if you want to see it on! It's such a gorgeous dark vampy lipstick, I've never really owned a dark colour like this so its so nice to own one! The other lipstick is by L'Oreal and it is in the shade J Lo's nude, I think it is also called Cheryl's nude as well? But anyway, it is such a pretty natural every day nude and I've been wearing it so much!  My last makeup favourite is actually a brush, its the Real Techniques Multi Tasking Brush, this brush is just so useful. It comes in the Travel Set so it also comes with two other brushes. But I can use this brush for so many things: blending foundation, powder, blush and even bronzer!

Skincare 
 I don't really talk about skincare that much on my blog, but that doesn't mean I don't take care of my skin! I've recently been using the Garnier Miscellar Cleansing Water to remove my makeup and I wish I'd bought it sooner! Its amazing, takes my makeup up so quickly - even mascara! If you haven't tried this already (what are you waiting for?!) I'd really recommend picking it up!

This next favourite I didn't take a picture of because it is currently in my bathroom. It is the Lush Bohemian Soap, if you aren't a fan of zesty scents you will dislike this one! However, zesty, citrusy and fruity scents are my favourite! This soap is made from lemon oil so it has a light citrus scent, I've just been loving using this as it is really refreshing.

Music
If you follow me on instagram (which is another one of my favourites! Follow me @_beautiegirl I post regularly!) then you'll know I have been OBSESSED with Taylor Swift's 1989 album. Every single song is brilliant, in fact I'm listening to it right now. My favourite songs are I Know Places, Wonderland, Wildest Dreams, Blank Space and New Romantics. Plus the polaroids that come with the album are just too cute.

Blogs
Here are a few of my favourite blogs I have loved this month, I recently discovered them and I'm absolutely in love with their blogs:
Rebecca - From Roses
Holly - Bloomin' Rouge

So that is what I am currently loving at the moment, I hope you enjoyed this post and thank you for reading! Also be sure to check out Laura's post, here are some of her favourites!
