July Favourites!

Hey everyone!! 
It's been forever since I've done a favourites post so I'm pretty excited right now and I hope you are too! I've only been loving a few products this month so this post wont be too long I just wanted to share my new loves with you! So lets get started!

BEAUTY FAVOURITES
24 Hour Revlon Colorstay  Foundation
"I'm addicted and I just cant get enough!" Lyrics just get me sometimes...
For a drug store brand, this foundation is FANTASTIC! It stays where you apply it and has amazing coverage. It never leaves my skin feeling dry or oily and it stays on forever! Don't skip washing your face when you wear this foundation. It stays on so well that your pores wont be able to breathe. Wash that face! Don't be lazy!

Real Techniques Buffing Brush
 This brush is God sent! Its my "go to" brush for my foundation and so far I swear by it. I favour this brush over my others because the short bristles really help you work your foundation into your skin for a flawless finish. Anther reason why I love this brush so much is it's durability. I'm tough on my brushes and go through them quite quickly but this one has stayed in tact and I'm pretty happy about that!

Revlon Photoready Pressed Powder -Translucent
So this is the first time I've tried Revlons translucent powder and I'm in love. I'm privy to their photoready powder in medium but because it's summer I don't want to have a heavy amount of make up on and I feel like this translucent powder allows my skin to breathe a little better then their pigmented powders. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just going by how my skin feels during the day. this powder has shimmer in it so once applied it, the shimmer will catch in the light and highlight your natural features. You don't have to worry about reapplying this product. I

t hugs to the colorstay foundation and creates a flawless matte finish.

Goody Ouchless Elastics
If you have thick hair, then you already know.. These are a miracle! I've been loving these pony tails for years. I go through them so fast, mostly because I lose them or they eventually break. Anyway, most pony tails break in my hair instantly but these last quite a long time and they don't have a metal connector so no more hair being pulled out! They're called ouchless for a very good reason! Try these out! I'm so sure you''ll love them just as much as I do!

Goody Medium Claw Clips
When applying my make up or styling my hair, I grab these clips. When applying my make up I clip my hair behind me to keep it out of the way. When I style my hair I like to use these clips to keep my hair sectioned. I find the medium clips to be the perfect size for my thick hair. they stay secured and hold my hair in place extremely well. If you want an easy half up hair style, pick up these clips or if you just want your hair out of your face I recommend them for that as well.

MUSIC FAVOURITES

Currently LOVING Kat Dahlia! I think I'm in love again. I'm addicted to this song and can't get enough, it's constantly on replay or playing in my head. I think what I love most about this song is the fact that it's so relatable. I think a lot of us ave had that moment of "Here we go again." and this song captures it pretty well. give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it just as much as I do.  

Lets be honest for a second........ we all have those moments when were jamming out to a song and we get right into it, to the point where you pray to God that no one is watching you.. For me that song is BBHMM By Rihanna. Seriously, guys I dont know what comes over me when I hear this song but for some reason I think I'm Rihanna and I try to be as tough as she is but lets be real for another second..I'm not. but there's no shame in having fun and thats what I do. I have to say though, this song is NOT for everyone! Especially the video, It's NSFW and watch at your own discretion

And that's all I have for you guys this month. Not a lot of favourites but definitely good ones. What have you been loving this Month? Make sure to tell me down below! Happy FriYAY Everyone!

August Favourites!

All Right Readers! It's time for my first ever Favourites blog! What better time to make a favourites blog then, in the first month of your blog, right?

So I'm going to break this down into two categories. We'll start with Beauty favourites and then finish with non beauty favourites 
So, here we go!!

Beauty Favourites!

So, this product Iv'e actually had for a while now but this month I've used it pretty much everyday that I've worn make-up and its the naturally gorgeous 524 palette from Hard Candy. I've used very shade in this palette, although some the shadows are not very pigmented, they all have a great shimmer! I love to apply the lighter shadows all over my lid for when I just want a little colour or shimmer. I use the darker colours over top of a smoky eye, to add shimmer and to make my smoky eye "pop" I also use them to smoke out my lower lash line!

The next product I want to talk about is mascara! I'm currently loving Voluminous Power Collagen mascara my L'oreal. I use blackest black, number 681. This is by far one of the best drug store mascara brands I've ever used. This mascara coats my lashes completely, makes them look fuller and longer. Coming from a girl that coats on her mascara, You don't need to with this! 2 coats max is all you need. I am sooooo in love this with mascara. I could write a whole blog post on it! please stop over to your local drug store and give this mascara a try! I know you'll love it!

Next up Snooki Couture by Nicole Polizzi

OH MY GOSH!

This perfume is life! As you can see my bottle is a little worn out, and that's because I carry it with me where ever I go! When I first got this perfume I didn't expect to like it this much, since I had never smelt it before, The second I seen the adorable and trendy packaging and after  I sprayed it, I was HOOKED! This perfume smells like sandalwood, oranges, fun and summer! I can't completely explain it but it's phenomenal. I always get complements when I wear this perfume. Not only does this smell amazing but the scent lasts all day long! I never need to reapply this perfume. It always smells like I just applied it. On top of it always smelling freshly applied, it never smells like alcohol! I can't stand that with fragrances and I find that this one doesn't at all. I Like to call that a Beauty Bonus!   Here's a link to buy her perfume! Snooki Couture By Nicole Polizzi

Summer is coming to an end. which I'm excited about. Fall is my favourite season! But my heart does have a special place for summer. So when summer starts to come to an end, I like to apply my Jergens natural glow self tanner. I use shade fair to medium. I really like this formula. It applies nice, evenly and doesn't leave me all streaky or sticky. It also smells nice which is a nice change from the other self tanning lotions I've used. This self tanner help keep my fading summer tan, look a little more fresh, and obviously make it look like it hasn't faded at all. I use about two of these all summer so if you try this out, and like it, I recommend purchasing two like I do.

Nivea is one of my favourite lip product to use and Iv'e been using the Raspberry Rose lip butter all month long. It's so moisturising, adds a bit of colour and it smells like arm raspberries. #Delicious I'm actually wearing this lip butter as I type this blog post! If you're like me and are not a big fan of lip gloss, but want a little something more on your lips,  I would recommend this. I picked mine up at Wal-Mart for just a few dollars, So go check out your local drug stores and beauty isles for this lip product must!

Non Beauty Favourites! 

The new TMNT movie!! I went to the theatre with my boyfriend to see this a few weeks ago! although the story line of how the turtles came to be was super awful, It was still a phenomenal movie and I will be purchasing it when it comes to DVD. I watched this movie in 3D, which I actually didn't like because I hate wearing the glasses. But besides those who things, It was great, funny and suspenseful! Give this movie a watch and let me know what you thought of it

Going with the TMNT theme, recently my boyfriend went on a business trip and when he came back he bought me a TMNT tumbler. This is probably one of the cutest things ever and I use it quite a bit. It's actually right beside me filled with water! What I like most about this tumbler is the fact that it's small enough to carry around but big enough to hold enough water that will last me for a while and it doesn't leak!!!! Finally a travel container that doesn't leak! This may be in my August favourites but I'm pretty sure I'll be using it all year round!

My next non beauty favourite is a book by John Green. The Fault in Our Stars.

Iv'e read this book a total of six times and each time I cry and cry and cry and I can't stop! This book is brilliant and although I have yet to see the movie, I know it will be just as beautiful as the book. I've also read Looking for Alaska which is another novel by John Green. That book was also wonderfully written but I have to say TFIOS is my Favourite! Give this book a read. and be sure to have a box of Kleenex near by! 

So this song is about two years old but I've recently remembered how much I loved it then and now I love it even more. Christina Aguilera - Your Body Her looks, sound, and the video are incredible, colourful and eye catching! I love this Song!

Another song that I've really been enjoying is one that Iv'e recently found on 8tracks and that's  The Icarus Account - Favourite Girl. This song is so adorable. I love all the words and the music. This song is also a few years old but it's still great!  definitely give this song a go and let me know what you think

So that's it for my August Favourites! I hope you enjoyed reading about what Iv'e been loving this month, Comment below and let me know what you've been loving for this month, or if there's anything you think I should be trying out or listening to!
