This Week I'm Loving... #16

Inside No. 9
Being a fan of League Of Gentleman and Pyshcoville I was looking forward to watching this season made by the same people! Episode 2 "The 12 Days Of Christine" was amazing - I recommend you all head to iplayer now and watch it .... I cried like a baby!

Shapers Blueberry & Yogurt Bars
These are so so good. I think I've mentioned them on here before but I'm telling you again - these are the nicest treat and less than 90 calories!

Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Facial Pads
I bought these a few weeks ago along with the matching serum. Now it turns out the serum and my skin just didn't get along, I came up in a few spots which is really unlike me but I've kept these in my everyday routine and they have been great! The scent is strong but I quite like it, I use one every morning before I put my make-up on!

Oral B Pro 2000
Upgrading my toothbrush was the best decision I've made so far this year! I had the Pro 600 prior to this but this is a step ahead, so much quicker and I can really feel the difference between them!

eBay
I used to use eBay 24/7 but with work, blogging, life etc I kind of just gave up with the effort of it all! After going through my wardrobe I decided it was time to get chucking/ebaying and it feels so good! (My eBay - HERE.)

Wildfox Cali Jumper
Bargain of the week! I am obsessed with Wildfox but unfortunately it's not always in my price range! This is why I love the ASOS sale, this top was only £24!! I LOVE it, super comfy and it's so true... I miss California everyday!

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick - Love Bite
I did a review on this a couple of weeks ago, I am obsessed. It is the perfect formula and the perfect red!

Ultimate Blends Honey Treasures
I've been using these for weeks and weeks now and ever since having my haircut my hair has been feeling better and better! They smell yummy and leave my hair so soft plus they are nearly always on offer - and I love a bargain!

Bates Motel
This is the newest show me and my boyfriend have started watching together..... although I'm now officially like 3 episodes behind him as I fell asleep opps! It's really weird but I do like a bit of weird!

Ariana Grande
It's only 6 weeks until I head to the O2 to see this little angel and I am SO excited! This past week I have been blaring out her albums and getting really hyped up to see her live, I cannot wait!

October Favourites 2014

Happy end of month boys and girls AND Happy Halloween!
 I've done my favourites in video this form this month as I find it easier to show everything to you guys that way, otherwise it's a bit of a photo overload on here!
 I'm still not sure about youtube at the moment, I love doing it but still not sure whether it's for me or not but I'm going to keep on persevering for now :)

Watch below to find out what haircare, skincare, make-up and other random things I have been loving throughout this past month! If you like the video hen please like and subscribe - it takes 2 seconds and means alot to me!
And if you have any tips or advice for me regarding filming I'd love to hear it, I feel very beginner at it all!!

(oh and lastly... I can't believe my eyelash is wonky throughout this video making my eyes look crrrazy - so embarrassing :( sorry haha!)


What have been your favourite things in October? Do you mind these posts being in video form?

Beauty Haul - October 2014

Hh dear.... I've been let loose with the bank card again!
 I always get the urge to splurge and this month I have succumb to that ever-so-present beauty blogger itch and treated myself to a few new bits and bobs! 
Some of my favs re-purchased and some brand spanking new things I will no doubt fall in love with aswell and I thought why not let you girls and boys have a cheeky peek inside my shopping bags!
Sorry for the pretty pants photos - it is my mission of the next few months to really try and improve my blog's content and photography, hopefully you will be able to tell the difference soon!
First up the make-up.... those bits I expect you are all probably most interesed in! I'll start at the top and work my way along!

Nivea Fruity Shine Lipbalm in Watermelon
Nivea is easily one of my favourite bargain drugstore brands so when I spot a newbie enter their collection I have to get my hands on it! Lip balm's are a must for this time of year and although I already own about 42 million I couldn't help but be sold buy the words "new" and "watermelon" - this smells lovely and has a lovely pink tint to it aswell!

No7 Presicion Lips Pencil in Raspberry
It came to my attention that although I wear alot of fuchsia's and bright pink lip colours I don't have a lip liner that goes with them and with the classic £3 off voucher for No7 this seemed like the perfect bargain. It's a gorgeous pink which blends with some of my favourite lipsticks so well!

Rimmel's Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel 
This is a must for me - use it daily and have probably gone through about 203 in my lifetime so far.

Seventeen Define & Conquer
 A newbie from the high street, Seventeen have bought out a contour kit yippee! and although I'm totally happy with my one from Sleek I couldn't just walk past this and not pick it up! A gorgeous bronzer alongside a shimmering highlight, I know that I will get so much use out of this!

Boujouis' Healthy Mix Foundation -Vanilla
Another repurchase - this is one of my go-to everyday foundations, I'm near enough always wearing either this or L'oreal's True Match.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick - Ole Flamingo!
Seeing as Bourjois was on two for £14 I had to pick up something else (obviously) and I went for this little beauty! Having seen sooo many people posting selfies with a gorgeous lip colour and soooo many times seeing it is this shade I finally decided to grab it! It's a lovely matt pink which I know I'm going to be wearing alot over this next season.

Seventeen Phwaorr Paints - Medium
You've seen been rave about this countless times! The best concealer I've ever used I go through sooo many - I've even got my Mum using it now! 

Seventeen Quicker Slicker Nail Polishes x 3 
It was about time I purchased some new darker nail polishes! I recently did a huge clearout out of products and things and lots of nail polishes didn't make the cut so it was time to stock up on some newbies!

Natural Collection Lipglosses - Vanilla & Turkish Delight
I like having cheap lipglosses in my bag especially for work days, these smell amazing and were only £3.50 for 2! 
Now a few skincare buys - which I definitely probably didn't need but you know what us girls are like...you can never have enough!

Nivea Soft Cream
I got through so much of this stuff! I use it every evening and swear by it!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
This was actually on clearance at only £5.50 so I grabbed it! It is for oily sensitive skin which is perfect for me at the moment as my skin as taken a greasy turn for the worse, I'm really looking forward to trying ti out as I have heard such great things about this brand!

Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion
This stuff has become a total life saver so it was time I stocked up on some more! This is amazing for dry/irritated skin I highly recommended it!

Boots Simply Sensitive Deep Cleansing Mask
The first of the face mask's now and one that I haven't tried before! I am obsessed with trying out new ones and this was so cheap I thought it it was worth a go! Something that will last more than one use aswell!

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masks
This will come as no surprise to you regular readers - I buy these like they are going out of fashion and as they were on 3 for 2 in Boots I grabbed a handful! I got 3 of the creamy coconut, 1 hot sauna, 1 hot chocolate and 1 nut oil! All have been reviewed on here before so if you want to read more then just search them in the search bar on the right!
Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Shampoo & Conditioner
I've bought these before and loved them, this new collection from Garnier is doing so so well, I've seen everyone picking them up! I love the scent, coconut is the best for me when it comes to haircare! The Sleek Restorer really does work aswell making my hair smoother and frizz-free... for once!

Ultimate Blends The Sleek Perfector Oil
After seeing VelvetGhost's September favs video and watching her rave about this stuff I decided to give it a go myself! I have used it so much already and am LOVING it - I'm sure it will be mentioned again on here soon!

Boots Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Mask
More coconut goodness! These are the best value for money hair mask's ever! £1.99 each or 2 for £2 on offer - I bought 4! I use this a couple of times a week and it leaves my hair so shiny and smelling great!

Moroccanoil Treatment Oil
Probably my favourite oil I've ever tried, it is a tad more expensive than others I have but I only use it after I've washed my hair so maybe 3 times a week!
Some random bits now!

Venus Pro Skin Sensitive Razor
BORINGGGG I bought a new razor coz' it was half price... nothing more to say haha!

Zoella Blissful Mistful
Yayyyy I finally got some Zoella Beauty bits! Keep your eyes peeled as these are going to have their very own post very soon!

Zoella Let's Glow Candle
I've nearly burned this whole thing already! It's so cute and smells lovely! Like I said above... a full review will be coming soon!

Oral B 3D White Replacement Heads
Well... we all need to brush our teeth don't we!
