February Favourites

Hello beauties. During the month of February I had a load of products I was in love with and thought it would be great to share with you all what they were. Some of the products you will have seen in recent reviews, so I shall link the posts so you can have some more information about those products. This is the first time that I have done a monthly favourites post, I don't know why its taken me so long to do it as I love reading these kind of posts! I'll stop rambling now and just get straight too it!

From Left to Right

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle | Aussie Luscious Long Leave-In Conditioner | Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Spray | Avon Colour Trend Pencil in Brown | No7 Blossoming Lip & Cheek Duo by Poppy King | Fearne Cotton Red Polish 

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

I picked this up mid February and I think its one of the best makeup purchases that I've made in a long while. Its quite simply the best highlighter I've ever used and it really works wonders on making your skin look radiant and fresh! This is definitely a product for you natural beauties out there. I've done a full review of Soft and Gentle MSF,so if your interested in knowing more and seeing swatches have a look here!

Aussie Luscious Long Leave-In Conditioner

I am in love with the Aussie Luscious Long Leave-In Conditioner. I bought this before Christmas and have used it every time that I've washed my hair. I have very fine hair that's prone to getting greasy very quickly, but I still use this alongside my normal conditioner. It doesn't make my hair feel dirty at all, just very smooth and super soft to the touch. I am planning on doing a full review this leave in conditioner so I wont go into too much detail, but I will say that it is my secret to having amazing hair!

Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Spray

If you've been reading my blog a little while then you will know that I recently did a review on the Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Spray which you can read here. I've been super busy this month and have not had the time spare to straighten my hair, so I've been going for a natural wave look with my instead. The sea salt spray really helps to define those waves and gives your hair that lovely beach look. 

Avon Colour Trend Pencil in Brown

This eyeliner from Avon was kindly given to me by my future mother-in-law as she knew I was on the hunt for a good pencil that I could use to fill in my eyebrows. Its from the Colour Trend Range, which I believe is the makeup range Avon have for teenagers. Therefore its super affordable and it really does do the job, It's not too soft and is a buildable colour that really lasts. Although I use it for my eyebrows, I've tried it as an eyeliner also and it works great. 

No7 Blossoming Lip & Cheek Duo by Poppy King

The No7 Blossoming Lip & Cheek Duo by Poppy King has been my go-to blush and lip colour this month. I love it so much that I did want to do a review for you all, but I don't think its in the No7 permanent collection as it was in a Christmas Box Set. But if I see it online I will be sure to let you beauties know. I got this for my mum at Christmas and she gave it back to me this month as she didn't get along with it (thanks mum! I know you read this). If your in the UK then you will know that the weather has been a bit up and down this month, but we have had some lovely days which has defiantly gotten me in the mood for Spring and the  Poppy King Duo looks amazing on, and is a great look for Spring. If you would like to see it on you can see a FOTD here. 

Fearne Cotton Red Polish 

The Fearne Cotton red polish has been my go-to colour this month. I think its the perfect classic red colour and it looks beautiful on. If you would like to see a NOTD and review of this gorgeous polish then you can read about it here.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post lovelies and I would love to hear what you have been loving this month. 

An English Rose

Hello beauties! Yesterday I took some pictures for an OOTD and FOTD for you. The sun was shining down and everything is starting to get ready for Spring. The weather put me in a lovely mood and with it being Valentines week I had red roses in living room and it inspired this English Rose look. Hope you enjoy!

Blake Lively Inspired Look

Hello beauties, so in my last post I set myself a challenge of recreating a hair and makeup look that Blake Lively sported for the red carpet event of the 100th episode of Gossip Girl. As you must of guessed by now I am a huge fan on Blake Lively and every time I see a picture of her I always think that she looks effortlessly beautiful. Her hair is always messy yet perfect and her makeup is natural looking. The picture show below has inspired me to re-create this hair and makeup look. I hope you enjoy!

Hair Picture

For this hairstyle I had second day hair, making it easier to style and I find that there is a lot more texture there when it's not been washed and dry shampoo has been added. I used a lot of kirby grips to keep everything in place and Aussie's Dual Personality Hi-Hold and Hi-Shine Hairspray to secure it.

I hope you enjoyed this inspired look beauties and if you would like any tutorials on how I created this look please let me know in the comments below.
