July Favourites


I have never done one of these before so I am jumping in at the deep end after only reading 2 of these by some of my friends. So, July was an exciting month and it is weird to think I have been in my new house for a month already. So here is the list of my favourite things this month.

Lush Intergalactic Bath Bomb
I was excited to get this bath bomb as I have seen so many good reviews on it and it would be my first bath bomb. It was seriously beautiful (see photo below). I didn’t know if they would be good but it was stunning. It was like sitting in a glittery sea that was green. It also was nice on my skin and made me relax.

Primark, PS… Contour Kit
Now I don’t use makeup or contour a lot but this was really nice to use. It comes with a guide on how to apply contour which helped me a lot when using it as I didn’t know how to use it. It has been one of my makeup staples this month. I have used it so much, it is starting to show the bottom of the pans. It’s so smooth to put on and feels natural after application. It is only around £4 as well and comes with a little brush for you to apply it which I use for my nose part of my contouring and I have another contour brush for the bigger parts.

Chupa Chups Strawberries & Cream tea-light candles
If you don’t know, I really love candles and I mean I REALLY love them. If I were in a room of candles, that would be heaven. Anyway, I found these at Savers in Derby for £1 and they smelled amazing through the box. They burn really nicely and the smell they give off is amazing. I have these on my windowsill so I can relax in bed with them being in a safe place. They also help with my anxiety as I watch the flame and the smell calms me down when I am in a situation where I am panicking.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder
Everyone has got to have a powder, haven’t they? I have been using this for a few months but now that the weather is warmer, I have been wary of my makeup coming off because of the heat. This powder has taken those fears right off my mind because it keeps my makeup in place and helps it stay natural to the touch. It is my godsend for the summer months and with it being under £10 per pot, it is a bargain. I haven’t even got to the bottom and I have been using it for 4-5 months now. Definitely a keeper!

Lush Rough with the Smooth Body Scrub
Again, I bought a few things from lush (as you do) and this was one of them. I was out with Jack and he saw it and loved it so I obviously bought it 😉. I was sceptical at first as I have used things like this before and they didn’t work. I want to buy another one of these because they are bloody amazing. It feels weird when you wash your skin with it but after, your skin is beautifully smooth and I was shocked at how well it took away the dead skin and exfoliated my skin at the same time. The smell of this was gorgeous as well, I definitely recommend if you want to get rid of all the dead skin.

Black Seaweed Peel-Off
After seeing videos of people not being able to pull the charcoal mask off their face without hurting themselves, I was scared to do this mask but it proved itself as it came off with ease. I even saw stuff that had come out of my pores so it did its job. It is not very aesthetically pleasing and the mask is fully black and when you take it off, it leaves your face a shade of black but using a face wipe to go over your face takes the marks off. My face is now silky smooth and also doesn’t feel that oily.

Primark, PS… Liquid Eyeliner

Eyeliner is an amazing tool and I love it because you can go from a normal make-up look to being fierce with a touch of eyeliner and a wing. I can’t always make my eyeliner be symmetrical but the wand with this eyeliner from Primark really helps to keep the line straight. It also dries really quickly so you can do this with a minute to spare if you’re late. The colour of it is very rich and high pigmented and it stands out. The best thing about it? It’s £1!!

So there you are! My July Favourites! I hope to do more of these and I hope you liked my first one and also my first flat lay! (the first photo on this blog post! 

Let me know down in the comments if you have any of these and how you found using them!

I Left Home...

So some but not many people will know this due to me keeping it quiet and away from social media because I was told by someone "you'll put something on Facebook or Twitter about this" and I wanted to prove them wrong so I decided to wait a while and then write a blog post about it. When I was 16, I wanted to be myself and be independent so I made myself more mature and thought about decisions before making one due to my past where I had rushed decisions which would often lead to the wrong choice. Now that I am 18, I know the "big wide world" is scary and that going out there alone will be tough. Last Thursday, I was pushed to my limit where I couldn't stand feeling trapped and alone anymore and made the decision to leave home. It was a big decision, a really big one. I didn't know if I would come back or if I would ever see my guardian again because I didn't wanna be there if I was going to be treated like I was 10 years old. I'm going to ...

It's March?

It's nearly March and that means it is already 3 months into the year equalling to a 1/4 of the year. Already it is going slow but at the same time I am happy it is going fast. I am sad its going slow as it is my last year in secondary school and I want my exams over and my coursework handed in but also going fast means I don't live the next 7 months slowly and getting the best out of every minute. One thing I would love to do is be one of those people on Pinterest or Tumblr who have the time to cook and make these amazing things while I sit at my desk doing my work. I would love to start cooking amazing things like what I see on Pinterest. I also want to go travelling, I am already ready for summer. I miss the sun. In summer, the nights get longer and the days feel endless, it is such a good feeling when you're near a beach and you just listen to music taking in the sun. I haven't really been on holiday since moving out of my parents house when I was 11. Sure, I ha...

Life is too Short..

Over the weekend, we have heard that Christina Grimmie was shot dead at her concert in Orlando and a mass shooting again in Orlando at Pulse nightclub where over 50 people were killed. This has to stop. Gun control needs to be in place otherwise these attacks will keep happening in the future. It makes me think though, life is too short. Life is too short to worry about things. Do things that make you happy and that make you feel alive. Don't feel sad because something is over, feel happy because it happened and then find something else to focus on. If you focus on the good things, you will have a better life. Yes there will be ups and downs but getting out of the downs will make you a stronger person. If you lead your life on negatives you will not get happier and you won't find the positives to focus on. Take life by the balls and live life to the fullest because I promise you, you will find those things that make you happy and that make you want to jump up and down in jo...
