October Favourites

I don't think I've ever done a favourites post before, but I've had so many awesome discoveries this month I think that I think it's very necessary! 

Makeup

Lipstick

Last week a put up a post about my sisters wedding and how I did the bridesmaid's makeup. I used a lipstick called Asia as I found it to be the most flattering on a diverse range of skin tones. I have used this lipstick so many times since the wedding, I think it just looks really lovely and neutral, it has brilliant lasting power, the formulation is really creamy and lovely on the lips and also the packaging is quite smart too! Big thumbs up from me! You can buy Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Asia here. 

Eye Liner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner has really stood out to me. I've never really been a big fan of eyeliner anyway, but I saw that Maybelline had a 3-for-2 offer on in Boots and I thought I'd pick one of these up to try out. Turns out, I actually love it! It comes with a tiny brush which is so nice to use and allows you to build  up the desired line thickness. The formula itself is super pigmented and creamy with great staying power. I wore it all day whilst out shopping and it didn't smudge or bleed at all. Really impressed! You can buy this product here.

Mascara

This is a rediscovery for me, I remember using it when I was a teenager at school and it was awesome back then! Again, this was on offer so I thought I'd pick it up for old times sake! I love the tiny little brush on it as I sometimes find huge fluffy mascara brushes quite hard and messy to work with, however this one gets right into the corners of my eye and is also perfect for putting on my bottom lashes! I got this in Blackish Brown because all of my other mascaras are black and I thought it would be nice to have a softer colour, although it does look pretty dark to me! You can but this here. 

Random 

Music

I've not really had any new discoveries in terms of music this month, but I have been listening to a lot of RnB and club sort of songs! If this is your thing then I'd recommend having a listen to: 

• Gyptian - Hold Yuh 
• Iggy Azalea - Work 
• Jason Derulo - Talk Dirty 
• Sage the Gemini - Gas Pedal

Exciting news!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been writing too much, but I've been very busy! First thing is..I've got a job! I've been desperately searching for a job that doesn't interfere with my uni timetable, and the other day Subway rang me up! I already have 5 shifts sorted and I don't even have my contract yet..happy days! It took a while to get a decent enough job, and it was worth the wait. Free salad..mmm :) 

Another piece of exciting news is that I've joined slimming world! If you are in or have been in a really happy and settled relationship, you will know that you get into the routine of just eating. All the time. Restaurants  nights in with loads of food..I've piled the weight on and I really miss my healthy lifestyle. My big sister is getting married in a few months and as you all know I've recently got engaged so I want to look my best when my sisters big day and my big day come around. It's been a week since I joined and tonight is my first weigh in, I'll keep you posted if I've lost any! 

More beauty reviews to come tonight btw guys! 

Ciao for now! .x.
