Monthly Favourite: November!

Hello lovelies! I can't believe November has already passed by me! Time flies!


So here are my favourite products that I have used a lot during November!


1. Carmex Moisture Plus. £3.49

My old lip balm (Carmex Cherry lip balm, tube packaging) ran out so I had to buy a new one since my lips will probably not be very happy! So I bought the new Carmex Moisture Plus since I just saw a magazine recommending it.

The lip balm came in a standard lipstick packaging, since I purchased the clear one, the lip balm just looked like normal vaseline. But when I applied it on, first thing I noticed was that it did not have the normal nasty Carmex taste, instead it had a more buttery, vanila-ish taste! The product was also very moisturising, perfect for application before lipstick! The slanted tip was also ver helpful in application. Overall, a very happy customer.

2. Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer

Ah, this is an all time favourite of mine. I love this concealer as it suits my skin tone perfectly and lasts a very long time. This has a quite good coverage as well, the applicator was also quite smart as it is good at locating blemishes. However the only thing I did not like was the packaging, not that it did not look good or anything, the product sometimes leak, leading to a major concealer leakage in my make up bag.


3. Rimmel Natural Bronzer Powder, £5.59

I have to be honest, I have been looking for a bronzer for ages. Since the 3 for 2 offer at Superdrug, I decided to give this product a go. All I can say is that this is indeed, very natural, great for contouring cheekbones, this can even be used as a blush! The pigmentation is not very heavy meaning that the colour can be built up to your liking. Again, the packaging is a problem for me... it is not very secure as there is just a plastic lid over it... surely there should be something to secure that plastic lid...?


4. Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick by Rimmel, £5.49

I have wanted to try this lipstick out for ages since when I tested it out I found that it was quite pigmented. I purchased shade 3(warm nude)  and 8(dark purple). I am cool with the nude colour, great coverage, true to colour, great. But I have really fallen in love with the darker shade as it creates a beautiful dark red colour on your lips when a thin coat has been applied! Only problem was that it was not as long lasting as it stated and I had to reapply it after a few hours.


That is pretty much all of the products. Anything you would like me to review? Post a comment to let me know!


Stay tuned for more!

Fashion Diary: Versace scarf arrives, Manchester Loves Fashion night, Christmas Market!

Hello lovelies!


There are a few things happening recently in the fashion side of things. 


The Versace for H&M scarf I ordered has arrived! I was so excited as I have been eyeing up some items from the collection and I was lucky enough to grab this one before it went out of stock! (again!)

The print was lovely and the texture of the scarf is lovely too as it is 100% silk! money well spent? Yes. I can not wait to put it on!

The next event would be the Manchester Loves Fashion night at the Triangle. It was a mild disappointment since I was expecting more stalls rather than the sparse amount of them. Some of the items were unnecessarily expensive.... by that I meant a bracelet for £54! I'm sure the quality is lovely but really, I can get the equivalent at a fraction of the price.

Having said that, the fashion show was good. Despite not being able to purchase anything worn on there... ( I eyed up a leather jacket.... only to find out that it was £250... at a discount of £350...) Pretty much summed it up. Really, I wouldn't go again... especially with the presence of women wearing trainers around a fashion show... No, no.

The next thing would be the Christmas Market! It was great and I had some pancakes which were YUM! Also grabbed a pair of ear muffs, they are adorable:

These fit my ears perfectly and they were so warm! I will definitely be wearing these a LOT! I have all the winter essentials I will need to make it through this winter!

What Have you done that was exciting recently? I would love to read them!

Stay Tuned for more!
