March Favourites | 2013.

Hi everybody! (Hi Doctor Nick!)

Sorry once again for my absence, it's been a hectic month and it's not going to stop throughout April either. It's all change, but more on that later. Everything feels a little bit all over the place just now, especially my brain.
Finally the clocks have gone forward and there is more light in the evenings, it makes it much easier to take photos and things. However, I am not amused about losing an hour in my bed!

For once I'm on schedule with a post, here are my March favourites. You can read about my February favourites here. As you can see there aren't too many this month, but it's not about quantity is it?

Face.

Topshop Highlighter in Crescent Moon.
Review here.
This the best highlighter I own, I even prefer it over Benefits High Beam (I know it's liquid vs. powder, but still). I'm so glad I decided to pick it up. It's beautiful, and has a more natural colour to it than a lot of other highlighters that tend to be a bit too white.

Thank You! | 100 Followers.

I just wanted to do a quick post just to say thank you all so much for reading and following my blog. It really means so much to me, I never actually thought anyone would want to read my ramblings never mind 105!

There will be a giveaway as soon as I've gathered a few more items, so keep an eye out for that. I also just want to apologise for not posting all that much recently, I've been working a lot (50 hours this week) and it's really taken it out of me. For the past few weeks I've been rather ill too and that hasn't helped. I do have a few things lined up for review though, so I'll be back with those soon I promise!
Anyway, once again thank you all so much! :)

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Mauve It Over | Review + Swatch.

Revlon is a brand that I absolutely love! I've got a variety of their products and I've never been let down by any of them. Especially not their lipsticks, can you see what kind of review this is going to be? Ha.

Mauve It Over was a shade I was unsure of at first, it's not my usual colour but I eventually decided I needed it. Don't you love it what that happens? This lipstick is matte, although it's not completely matte and retails at £7.49. You can pick it up in Boots and Superdrug and there tend to be 3for2 offers on or similar promotions.

First off I really like the packaging, it's lovely and it's matte too, so it fits with the finish of the lipstick. Such a nice touch! The texture is great, it doesn't tug as much as some matte lipsticks - probably because it's not as matte as some others. I find the staying power is pretty good too, as with most mattes; around 5 hours without eating (who goes 5 hours without eating though!?)
I wore this to a job interview I had, I found it was the perfect nude type of shade without being too nude, it still has a nice hint of pink to it. Should I just say it's mauve, or is that admitting defeat? Wow, I'm awful at explaining colours! Let's just see the swatches shall we...

 

Wednesday Waffle Week 14 + 15 | Bloglovin, Gilmore Girls and JT (again).

Oops! Once again I've been naughty and messed up my schedule. Work and catching up with friends and family has distracted me from my blog. That being said I don't think I've been busier than usual - although I did get a haircut, eventually!

I'm going to do a quick round up of things I've been loving over the past couple of weeks.

Music.

Justin Timberlake - Mirrors/his entire back catalogue.
Paramore - Now.
Taylor Swift - 22.
Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark.
Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child.

Films.

Untraceable. 7/10.
Red Dawn. - 7/10.

TV. 

Gilmore Girls - I'm actually obsessed, and I've only just started watching it.
The Walking Dead.

Books.

The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling. - Just started this last night, I really like the way it's written and it's fun to see J. K. Rowling swearing and being rude.


Also, before I forget, you can follow me on Bloglovin. Just click the icon below or on the right of my blog!



Not sure if I've posted these photos before or not, but I wanted to include them anyway, just in case.

I'm becoming such a cat person!

How has everyone been, well I hope?! I'd love to hear some music or film recommendations, it's always nice to find out what other people are enjoying.

Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl Eyeliner in Nude | Review + Swatches.

This is review that has been a long time coming as I've had this eyeliner for about two months or so. It's the Scandaleyes waterproof eyeliner in Nude from Rimmel. Recently I've been loving Rimmel products, namely their foundation and lipsticks. This eyeliner is no exception, it's fantastic and for only £3.99!
As it's waterproof you can wear it on your waterline and it really opens the eyes up and makes them look bright and awake. Which, if I'm honest, are things I need help with!

If you want to have a look at me wearing this please see this post.

The Good.

Stays put - Waterproof.
Affordable - £3.99.
Brightens eyes.
Lovely texture, glides on, no tugging.
Nice shade range.

The Bad.

Not a twist up pencil - product wasted due to sharpening.

What do you think, do you have this or any other shade?
I'd like to try the Bright Blue and the Silver ones too!

A Blustery Day | Photo Diary.

On Saturday Kyle and I took a little jaunt up to Pets at Home for some things for the cats. We decided to walk even though it was a touch chilly!
I took the camera along with me as I've not done much photography stuff lately and I want to get back into it. These are some photos I got on the walk back. They're nothing too special, I don't have Photoshop at the moment so the editing is a little off and there wasn't much light so I'm not all that happy with most of them. Anyway - excuses aside, here they are.

A Little Haul | H+M.

A couple of months back, during the sales I picked up a couple of items from H+M. I especially love their accessories and I managed to pick most of these things up for £1!

 

 

The little button fasteners on the bracelets are so cute, but a bit fiddly! The ring is probably my favourite item, and typically it wasn't in the sale. It was £3.99 I believe. Totally worth it though, still a bargain! 

Do you like H+M, can you recommend any other places to buy great accessories?
