Hello You Lovely Lot!

YES. IT'S THAT TIME. I'm not sure any of you are as excited as I am. As I say every month, these are the best posts to write, I just love sharing it all with you guys.

This month has been pretty great! It's obviously Christmas which is always exciting. It's also month that I see Natalie again (aka the best day.). It's the month I signed a contract for a house, am I an adult yet? I made an appointment to change my hair drastically. I found some true friends and discovered that some old ones weren't so good. I have bought way too many things for my own good. I have discovered the struggles of living on no money (I just ate a lot of pasta). So lets get down to what got me through the month shall we?

Here we go...

Beauty / Skincare :

This is such a recent favourite but I love it so much there's no doubt it had to be here!

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray



I got this from my English Secret Santa Maddy and it is honestly been my life saver ever since. I wanted it ages ago but never bought it so when I opened the present up I could have cried. I was going out that night so I put it on and when I woke up the next morning I basically could have gone to my lecture in the makeup from the night before. I actually didn't do that. I didn't go at all...but we don't need to talk about that. I use this daily which I really ought to stop doing because I know I won't be able to afford it when I run out of it and am stuck in Liverpool. I think I only got the travel size but I will most definitely be purchasing the full size when I run out!

Music :

I have recently got back in to a band that I used to love at the beginning of the year. They're even my most played artist on Spotify this year above One Direction (shocker of the year!)

Oh Wonder



I first fell in love with this band when I saw Dodie and Lucy do a lovely cover of 'All We Do'. I do still love that song but it's probably not my favourite anymore. I just love their sound and it's so different from all the loud poppy/rocky music that I usually like to listen to. Maybe that's the reason I like it so much? They've definitely been in a favourites before although I'm not sure when. I love listening to Oh Wonder to calm me down, not necessarily something I listen to every day but any time I do listen to their songs I fall in love all over again.

Top Five Songs: 

5. Without You
4. Technicolour Beat
3. Livewire
2. Lose It
1. Drive

Other Songs I've Loved

Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez
Jet Black Heart - 5 Seconds Of Summer
Kaleidoscope - Coldplay
Worry - The Vamps
Santa Baby - Ariana Grande

TV Show :

For some reason I never watch Dance Moms any more but I really ought to get back in to it! I was so obsessed with it for song long, I think I just got too busy to watch it every day and now I never watch it. There's always time though. Don't really think I can say that I've been obsessed with any TV programmes for the whole month. I did see one the other day that I loved though...

Tattoo Fixers



Basically it's just where people who have had dodgy tattoos go to get them fixed. Sound like the worst programme in the world yet? It's not. For one, it's funny to see and hear the stories of how people got such awful tattoos and then it's amazing to see how the tattoo artists manage to cover it up! Probably going to be obsessed with this for the whole of January too...

Purchase : 

There's no competition this month..

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette




These last few months I've really got in to wearing eyeshadow. I used to own two Naked palettes but never use them. My flat mate Nicole does the most amazing eyeshadow and pretty much inspired me to start doing mine! So I went all out and bought this and it was possibly one of the best decisions I've ever made. You can read my review of it here.

Photo : 

My favourite photo from this month so far (and also the worst photo of me I've ever seen) has to be this

Hello you lovely lot!

How is it the end of September?! I can't believe it! I always start these in the middle of the month because I love writing them so much! These seems to be my most popular posts so it's nice to know that other people enjoy them too!

This month has certainly been a busy one for me but also one of the best months and I can't wait for the next few months either!

I thought I would find it so hard to try and talk about different things I've loved every month but as this blog will soon be coming up to it's 1st birthday I can happily say that's not the case. I love discovering new things and then sharing them with you! This one is a little earlier, I normally put my favourites up around the 25th/26th but those are the days I'm moving to Uni and I also have another post for that day so I want to get this one up as soon as I can.

So let's get down to it!


Beauty / Skincare :

Now, as I mentioned in my last favourites I bought a foundation to replace my MAC one in the summer because it was starting to feel a bit heavy! So I did just that and I have to say, I feel a lot better, I feel much less cakey and as excited as I am for wearing my MAC foundation much more in the winter, it's been nice to have a bit of a lighter one. So this month, my beauty favourite is...

Rimmel - Match Perfection Foundation - 103 (True Ivory)




I don't think I've ever really used this foundation before, I have used a few Rimmel ones and I don't think I've ever been particularly impressed, this one however has changed my mind! The first time I out this on it matched my skin so well and even though I had a tan back then it still blends in really well. I find it easy to wear and I don't feel or look (in my personal opinion) like I have too much makeup on. I'm now saving my MAC one for special occasions because I think I'm running out and I will need a lot of makeup to cover my under eye bags at Monday morning lectures. It's on my christmas list though so it won't be long until I *hopefully* get a new bottle of it.


Music :

Normally I do an album for this section but I can't really give you a specific album I've been loving, however, I have discovered the joys of Spotify so I can tell you my favourite artist of this month!

Oh Wonder




You can buy that HERE!

Book :

I don't normally include this either and even though there's a book I've already spoken about on my blog, it HAS to be here!

Eleanor And Park
