March Favourites 2015

 Another month down, another monthly favourites post for you all to see what I have been loving and obsessing over for the past 4 weeks! From eyelashes to naughty treats - here's my round-up of my favourites things from March!


Shane Dawson - I Hate Myselfie
Wooo I read a book this month - and it was bloody brilliant! I have been a fan of Shane's for years now and his inappropriate humour and hilarious persona's are right up my street. This book had going from laughing out loud about Shane and his awkward swimsuit experience to shedding a tear about his dear Grandmother. All in all this 'collection of essays' is downright awesome, if you are a fan of Shane I highly recommend it!

Katy Perry Killer Queen Perfume
I mentioned this earlier on this month about how much of a bargain it was! Just over £13 it worked out as for a 100ml bottle - you don't get bargains like that often! I love the scent and it really lasts - I've been using it round my home aswell as on myself alot this month.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Concealer - Ivory
A new concealer from Rimmel, and I have to say I have used it every single day since purchasing it! It is fab for covering my dark circles and lasts all day.

Bounty's
Oh dear.... it's true - I have been addicted to this chocolate and coconut treat! They are just so yummy and only £1 for 4 in co-op.... too tempting! 

Barry M Waterproof Khol Eyeliner
I got this for my birthday back in February and have been loving it! Khol pencils are the best for me when doing my lower lash line - I try not to over-do eyeliner as I have really small eyes already and feel like it makes them even more teeny tiny! This stays on well and isn't too hard to get off either.

Eylure 101's
My favourite eyelashes at the moment - I have gone through lots of these this month with my trip to Germany and girly nights out! Perfect for my smaller eyes these give me the long eyelashes I've always wanted.

Ginger & Co Coconut Lipbalm
This stuff smells. so. good. - this new brand is killing it! I have a trio of these balms and this has to be my favourite. It's smooth and keeps my lips hydrated for ages!

Fake Bake Beyond Bronze Shimmer Brick
My baby! I have had this for about 4/5 years now after seeing Billie Faiers talking about it and it is now near enough empty (boo hoo!). I love it and I'm praying I can find a new one and it hasn't been discontinued! 

MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick
I am so so happy that I finally got my hands on this! I have been wearing it constantly this month and have had so many people ask me what shade it is! If you can get your hands on it then do it, you won't regret it!

theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer
Contouring has taken over my life and I've found this is the perfect bronzer for me! The packaging is super cute and it's easy and compact which I like, theBalm have sooo many awesome products, I love the names they give them too.

No7 Airbrush Away Primer
This has been my everyday primer for a while now, I'm even onto my second tube. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky, ready for the rest of my make-up. I'm dreading it running out as I don't want to have to pay full price for it! (I got both tubes on Black Friday with a voucher so they were less then £5 each! - the usual price is £19.50)

E45 Overnight Hand Cream
The cure for my overly dry and slightly cracked hands. This stuff is a god send, it honestly works so so well, especially on my knuckles.

This Week I'm Loving... #5

Dance Moms
I started watching this back in like 2011 when it first started and be obsessed with it from the first minute! I love dance and this show is amazing! I have started watching it again this past week and have had some serious marathons - I get so so into it, I need them all on DVD! (I wish I still danced!)

HD Brows
Finally! I've had my eyebrows re-done and I LOVE them! (Thanks Mellisa!) I get so paranoid when my eyebrows aren't done and I had left it wayyyy to long this time to get them done so it feels fabulous to have a great shape and colour back!

Lee Stafford Ubuntu Oils Light Oil Repairing Mist
Now... I had totally forgotten that I owned this! Other products from the range I have completely used up or use every week, but for some reason this little spray had been living at the bottom of a basket - poor bugger! My hair has felt so, so dry lately and as I am getting it bleached next week I really want to get it in a half decent condition for it!  I've been using this everyday - it's so light-weight that it doesn't feel like an oil or heavy at all! It has made my hair so manageable and soft - it will definitely be staying in my daily routine for now!

Bounty's
Oh god, I know - I'm meant to be being good but I had a bounty the other day and my love has been totally re-kindled. They aren't the most popular chocolate bar are they? But I really like them!

Fake Bake Beyond Bronze Shimmer Brick
This has been in my life for years and years and years. I bought it when I saw Billie Faiers used it (I always love her make-up) I literally use this every single day - there is hardly any left, I need to find a new one! Hands down my favourite shimmer brick that I own.

Red Lips
I have being wearing a red lip so much this past week or so! I have so many favourites....

Cheryl Stormflower Perfume
I've had this perfume since October and after getting some newbies over the Christmas 
season I stopped wearing it for a bit. BUT, this week I decided to get it back out again. Everytime I wear this I have someone ask me what it is, it's like nothing else I own and I'm going to be gutted when this bottle runs out!

Start Your Day With Katie 
I have lost count by how many times I've talked about this book! So many you ask what it is when I post pictures from it on instagram, twitter and facebook! A lovely quote for everyday of the year - it keeps me motivated and makes me smile every morning! This month I have been in desperate need of this!

PAYDAY!!!
Hallelujah it has finally come - after waiting from 19th December until this week I finally have a few pennies again! I have literally been living off pennies this past couple of weeks and it has had me seriously down in the dumps! Payday I love you!

What have you been loving this week?

Seventeen Instant Glow Pink Bronze Shimmer Brick Review

A shimmering glow is a look I go for on a daily basis. I love any product which can give me a gorgeous dewy look and I am constantly adding these products to my make-up collection!

Shimmer bricks are something I have used for years and I don't feel like my face is complete without it! With my current shimmer brick coming to an end I knew it was time to invest in a new one and this was the perfect bargain price for my current budget!
This is the Seventeen Instant Glow Pink Bronze Shimmer Brick.
With my holy grail fake bake shimmer brick (mentioned in many a post) being on it's last legs I knew that it was time to hit the shops and find a replacement. Although I needed  cheaper replacement - and this beaut from Seventeen fit the bill perfectly!
Seventeen are a brand that since I started my blog back up again last May I have mentioned countless times! They have really upted their game and alot of their products at the moment are up there in my favourites!

This shimmer brick comes in 2 fab shades - a pink shade and a bronzed shade! I've had trouble before with over bronzing myself (sometimes when intoxicated) with my shimmer brick so I thought Id try out the pink shade which hopefully would just give me a lovely pink shimmer!

These are such a great range of shades which when blended together make a gorgeous shimmering glow!
This is the last product I use on my face when doing my make-up - after my concealer, my foundation -  everything - I pop this onto a blush brush and just add it to the apples of my cheeks and a little down my nose!
I love the subtle shine it gives me for both day and night, my make-up doesn't feel complete without it!
Even though this is only £4.99, half the price of my Fake Bake brick that I have been using for years and years - it works just aswell, you can hardly tell the difference apart from the fact this is has a slightly pinker tone!
I love it and if it is anything like my other ones this thing is going to last for years!
