Sorry this has been
late coming. The past few weeks have been a bit busy – uni's
starting, Fresher's Week, fighting Fresher's Flu and generally
getting my shizzle together! I'm hopefully going to try and have a
post every week as opposed to every few days because of time. But
check this space out weekly!
Apologies aside, time
for a Monthly Favourites! I have got a camera now, but I'm still
trying to get it right, so hopefully videos soon?
Favourite Make-Up
Product:
As
you guys would know from my 'Mid-Month Favourites' and 'Lipstick
Love' posts, that I may
have a thing for matte lipsticks. There's something so sleek and
sophisticated about them! This was a birthday present purchased by my
boyfriends a few months ago to start adding to my MAC lipstick
collections, and recently, I've been turning to this lipstick a lot
more. It's popping, and colour, a great colour to experiment with on
'nights out', especially during the wild and crazy fresher's week! I also wore it on an 80's themed sports social, which worked a charm to get create that vibe. It's a great shade that suits me and that staying power is
incredible! I sometimes go to bed after going out without taking my
make up off, wake up in the morning and it is still pristine! There
are still remnants after I've scrubbed my face with make up remover.
Perfection.
Favourite 'Beauty'
Product:
Does
this count as a beauty product? I'm going to say yes, because of the
SPF? Haha. Confusions aside, this product has been my essential over
the past few weeks as a base for my make up. It matches my skin quite
well, and combined with my Beauty Blender Sponge from Primark, and a quick spritz of Eau Roma Water from Lush on my face, it
works a charm. It's easy to apply, quick to use, and when my face
needs a quick boost, it's a nice alternative to my foundation I use! It will be a sad day when it runs out.

Please ignore the mess in my room. Please?
Primark Lace Kimono
As stated before, Fresher's Week as a thing for me, even though I'm
a third year now. But how can I say no to a week long party! I have
gone out a few times, but it's difficult sometimes to judge what to
wear because British weather is always dodgy. So I've been turning to
this cheeky number to 'cover' up for the nights out. It's quite nice
to dress up and down, and sometimes, I do wear it during the day as
an alternative to a thick cardigan if it is still quite warm, but not
warm enough to go without anything to cover my shoulders. My Mum
wasn't a fan of this, saying that it looked like lingere, but I love
it. It adds a sophistication to outfits, and is a nice transitional
piece from day to night, from autumn to winter. Love.

Food/Drink:
Kellogg's Froster Strawberry Flavoured Pop-Tarts
I'm going old school here. This used to be a cheeky breakfast treat
as a child, but I find myself really craving this recently. It was on
special at Tesco and couldn't help myself! They're a nice snack every
now and then, and a nice 'pick-me-up' in the middle of the day. Just
a cheeky indulgent buy I've been loving really. Here's hoping after I
finish the current pack my craving stops, even though I do love
sugar. Hehe.

Song:
This has been a difficult choice, and have chosen to narrow it down
to three songs at the minute!
1. Wanklemut
– My Head Is A
Jungle
I think this is just a song that is getting me back into my partying
mood. Such a dance anthem for me, whilst also being quite relaxing
from when I'm just chilling around. The voice, the piano, and steady
beat, it all just works for me.
2. Sia
– Chandellier
Sia's
vocals are out of
this world! They are so good and recently, I've just been obssessed
with
this song. I would hear it on the radio, and just think this is a
great song, but when I stumbled onto the music video channel surfing,
I was hooked. It reminded me of my old dancing days which I missed,
was so creative and captivating – I just love it. It a dance tune,
with such emotion to it! I honestly can't get enough of it!
3. Calvin
Harris – Blame
More recent of the three songs, I literally heard this today, and
haven't stopped playing replay on my Spotify. It's addictive, it's
something I can groove to on the dance floor, with Calvin Harris
beats I just can't get enough of. I'm really loving 'dance songs'
that don't sound so generic and like everything else, and whilst this
one, out of the three, does slip into that sound just a bit, there is
a fine line, and this one is above it!
Favourite
TV Show:
America's Next Top Model (Season 21)
I am a massive ANTM fan! I've seen every single episode since day
one, and I am loving this season as of current. It's not as gimicky
as season 20, but still has fantastic drama that keeps me hooked.
Obviously, it doesn't have quite the class of older seasons (Andre
Leon Tally, come back?) but it's getting better and is one of the
best cycles I've seen in a while. I especially love the 'No Bullsh*t'
attitude Tyra has this season, taking nonsense from no one and
teaching good life lessons not only the models can take but that the
world can. Men can dress in heels, and labels should not define
someone, and you should never give up! And the return of Miss Jay!!
This is seriously doing it for me right now!
Peace Out!
