Favourite's Of The Week

I may make this type of post into a weekly thing. I love sharing what my current favourite's are and doing the 'Monthly Favourite's' posts are ones I really enjoy to do. I think I'm going to try and keep these weekly posts more of a 'Random'/'Non Beauty' type and leave the more beauty side to the monthly posts.

Quote: I think it really explains itself. I really like this quote!

Made me smile: My Best Friend moved to Greece on Monday, I met her in Heathrow Airport for her 2 hour layover and I gave her the phone cases I bought for us both.

Picture:  I went out for my flatmates birthday on Thursday. They were playing Charades and I just think its such a happy picture.

Song: I've always loved Paramore but their new song 'Still into you' is pretty awesome!

Nail Polish: Maybelline Colour Show Ocean Blue 661, such a beautiful colour.

Food: I think in the past week I've had pizza & salad about 4 times..slight addiction, maybe?

Got any questions? Let me know in the comments :)

Excuses & Empties

Howdy dudes & dudettes

I've been away from the 'ole blog machine for a few weeks and while I do have excuses I'm not going to bore you to death with them all, but I will share one excuse.. My parents came over to visit me last weekend in London for a couple of days, a LOT of laughs were had (to the point where I was crying in an Italian restaurant because I found something so funny and when myself and my mother visited the Tate Modern Museum and I had to bury my head in my mothers coat to stop my laughter from echoing all over the very VERY silent museum), we had some lovely meals and just a really nice time spent. 

Annnd onto the reviews..

 Empties

Garnier Pure Active - 24 hour spot fighting moisturizer

I love almost everything Garnier, it just suits my skin so perfectly and all of the products I've tried seem to do my skin some sort of good. As a person who has fought with acne/spots for so many years I'm always up for trying something that says it can fight them or at-least keep them at bay and that's what the Garnier 24 hour spot fighting moisturizer did for me, although it didn't clear the spots completely, I did notice a big change in my skin, it felt more hydrated, healthier looking and the spots had faded. Big thumbs up from me!

TRESemmé - Heat Defence Spray

I've repurchased this spray on so many occasions, it does what it says on the bottle really, although I think I may be repurchasing this mostly for the smell and the travel size bottle considering its not a product I would simply rave about, I've found a lot more heat protecting sprays that do the same if not better for my hair. It is a good product but it didn't 'wooooow' me to the extent where I needed to run out the door in my bath towel to the nearest supermarket to buy one when I realised it was empty. 

Nivea Visage - Light Moisturising day cream
I started using this product at the beginning of 2012 when my mother posted it over to me when I first moved to London (she was worried I wasn't moisturising) and for a couple months I used this and found it to be quite a good cream but once I found the Garnier 24 hour spot fighting moisturizer I threw this little tube into the back of the cupboard but I have recently discovered my little friend again. Just looking at the box and the tube it doesn't look very exciting or appealing but my gosh it works wonders, my face has cleared up a huge amount, it feels so smooth and it's like it's had a nice drink..yuuum hydrated face! Another Thumbs up from me! P.s I've already repurchased this.

Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder - 001

As you can tell from the pictures above I depleted the container until it's last little bit, great powder, keeps my face shine free while not making it feel over powered and dry like I feel some powders do. Huge plus is  that it doesn't flake on my skin.. woo hoo!

Rimmel Match Perfection  - 001 Light

Again with this blush, it's existence in the top left picture is almost invisible  Once you swirl your brush in and around this blush it gives a great glowy shine to your face, as you can tell I have already hit pan on the repurchased blush. Although the past couple days I've been really liking just using the peach colour on it's   
                                 own, it gives that nice little sun-kissed 'I look really fresh' look.

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo
Sudocrem

These 2 items are probably my babies, once I'm running low I feel the need to go running to the shops in a panic to buy some more, I think I have some sort of a fear that they will discontinue these products.. even just typing that gave me the shivers. I think everyone has those products that they have used for so long that they just become apart of them. I know a lot of people use all the different types of Batiste Dry Shampoo  but for me I've always gone back to the Original scent/type, it likes my hair and does the trick, I have really dark brown hair and for some people white dry shampoos tend to leave a dandruff looking layer on their hair when they use this but maybe I'm just the lucky one because it doesn't happen to me.

 Sudocrem - The answer to all life's problems. No matter how big or small it is if someone has hurt themselves, have a spot, their arm is itchy, anything. I will always suggest they use Sudocrem. I'm one of these people you probably don't want to meet if i'm having a 'bad skin day' because all you will meet is a white spotted sudocrem covered face.. not the best look! But none the less it's works like a dream. 

ELF - High Definition Powder

I really enjoyed using the High Definition Powder, when I first seen it on ELF I was a bit skeptical on weather it would be of any use to me or not buuuuut I was proved quite wrong. It gives that 'perfect photo finish' kind of look. I haven't jumped to buy this product again mainly because I haven't had any need to buy anything else from the website. The only downside is that it comes with a soft sponge applicator which I had lost and it meant I had to be super careful opening the pot because the product would just go everywhere.. booo! Other than that I will be sure to add this to the basket on my next order. 

Soap & Glory - Hand food

This is one of those things I always have in my handbag or just lying around in the cupboard , although this one may be empty I'll be sure to find half full or even full tubes floating around my bedroom or handbags. It smells great, looks cute and moisturises my hands,what more could you really want from a hand cream? Superrrrb! 

Do you use any of these products? Do you have the same views as I do towards them?

My Week In Pictures

Howdy :)

Here are some of the things I got up to during the week, I might make this a weekly post but I'm not too sure yet. Unless I'm doing something remotely interesting I don't think I should write about it and bore you guys to sleep.

Enjoy xo 

Saturday & Sunday - I love love love taking pictures when it's
snowing, everything looks 10 times more beautiful than before.

Monday - My Instagram photos arrived. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out, I'll be doing a post once I've decided how I'm going to display these pictures but first I have to go order some more from Printstagram. Firstly this website is SO easy to use which is a bonus so there's no messing around trying to figure out how to upload pictures etc.  I choose the 4 x 4 inch Squares. With this option you get 24 images for $12 (approx  £7.50) well worth it! I also received my images about 5 days after I ordered them.  If you would like to check out their website Click: HERE

Tuesday - I went to the auditions for Britain's got talent. IT WAS BRILLIANT!  Things I learned - Simon Cowell  actually smiles a lot - I know, shocking! Those buzzers are probably the loudest things I have ever heard, I jumped every single time without fail and Pole dancing is actually an art, the girl that auditioned was amazing and it was so beautiful to watch, it definitely changed my perception on pole dancing! I also seen a Boyband who I think we need to all watch out for, I have a feeling they'll go far, we were also asked not to post the acts names, Sorry.

Wednesday - Me and My Bestfriend Alannah had a conversation with each other on twitter using pictures while I was in work and she getting ready to head to work. You can follow me on twitter HERE, I'll follow back :)

Friday - I went for a nice walk and done some boring things that people tend to do when they they are 'adults' like heading to the bank and food shopping (although I do love grocery shopping a lot).

Naked Palette 2 - Half Baked

What I'm wearing -
Beige ankle boots are from Primark last Summer/Autumn, so comfy.
My studded leggings I have owned for 3-4 years I think I bought them
in Heatons which as far as I'm aware is an Irish shop.

That has been my week in pictures, if you like this type of post them maybe I'll do them on a week that I think may be eventful and write a post about it.
What did you get up to the past week? Let me know :)
