September Favourites


Hey everyone :D

So in July I did a favourites post, but then completely forgot in August! Sorry about that but I promise that now I will begin to do these every month (*crosses fingers behind back*) I am really no good with promises like this! haha

Anyway getting into my September favourites :D

Make Up product - 

This month I have been loving the Revlon Lip Butters..if you can't already tell that from all my make up posts they always feature in them! haha The one colour I have been loving in September is Candy Apple. It is a gorgeous red shade, not too sheer and really moisturising! I think that the colour is perfect for the transition between summer and autumn :)


















Skin Care Product - 

I heard from a friend and with research on the internet that Bio Oil is good for clearing scars and blemishes from spots and breakouts. I have a lot of scarring on my face because as I 13 year old hormonal girl I wanted the quickest solution of getting rid of spots so I picked them (boke!) Now I surely regret it as I am left with red scars on my face. I bought the medium bottle of bio oil and have been using it since August, applying only a pea sized amount to the scars with my finger. So far it has cleared up some of the lighter scars that I had but no major differences to the old, deep ones yet. It says it should take around 3 months so when the 3 months is up I will do a review? :D But I love the consistency of it as it dries in pretty quickly. I use it morning and night. My only negative is the smell..its really sickening! :( but so far so good :)



Hair Product - 

This month I have been going with the 'Au Natural' look with my hair, and although it looks like I have been dragged thorugh a bush backwards and have been through a zombie apocolips it is just so much more easier and weraable to school. To style it I have been using the Schwarzkopf got2b beach matte texturising spray. I picked this up in Superdrug for only £2.70 which I thought was a really good price. I had been looking for a good salt spray for ages and I am really fond of this one as it leaves your hair looking really natural and wavy and it doesn't look all stiff and like it has been styled. 



Perfume-

This month my perfume that I have been wearing basically every single day is Taylor by Taylor Swift. I find that all her fragrances are so invigorating and amazing! It smells like flowers and sweet scented things, I don't know why but I just image that it is Taylor's natural scent..is that weird? Yes Lisa that is weird. Anyway..moving.. *shifty eyes* the bottle for the fragrance is so darn cute! It looks kinda retro but yet still so modern and classy at the same time (again just like her.) If you can't tell by now I am obsessed with Taylor, it's not even healthy. 


As you can see the detailing and nicky picky bits are amazing. The pearls long the top just give it that added big of vintage! The glass bottle and top looks really sophisticated and so classy. And if I can direct your eyeballs to the box Taylor looks stunning..almost like a pirate I don't know why I get that image. However away from that back to the perfume, I believe it is her most sophisticated scent and bottle yet, you can really see her personality in it and the love that was put into making it. Great job Taylor, I love you... wow that escalated quickly!

Music-
This month has been a month for going back and forth between different artists and bands and to be honest I can't pin point one person who I have listened to excessively more than the other, however the song that has been stuck in my brain all month and just won't leave is Tich Obsession. It is such a catchy song, and for some scary reason it is very relateable (maybe it's to do with my obsession of boybands..who knows!) Either way the song is so good and you need to listen to it, or maybe don't or it will get stuck in your brain as much as it did in mine! haha! Tich is also gorgeous and I heard about her from Olly Murs as she was supporting him on tour but she didn't come to the place where I was seeing him so they played her on the big screen and she was so captivating and her songs are so good!! :D




Random-

Ok, so by now I think we have all established that I am a pretty rare kinda girl, so this month my random love has been Bourbon Chocolate biscuits. I used to eat these ALL the time as a child at my Granny's house and have only just rediscovered them. They are just the perfect dunking biscuit in a cup of tea and to top it off they are chocolate..what more could you want!

I won't go into to it any further because well just go try them and you won't be disappointed :P



Until next month, au revoir mes amies ..

Love, Lisa xo

September Make Up And Outfit Looks

Hello everyone!!

I feel as though every time I come on to write a new post I always have to apologize as to why I haven't posted in FOREVER! But this time I have some legitimate excuses; I have been busy getting settled back into school and trying to work around homework and other things to try find the time to write, also as it is my last year of school (SCARY!) I have had to take up after school things to make me look half decent to the universities I will be applying to! Also with applying to Uni comes with having to write a personal statement and look for 5 courses that I want to apply to within the next month so I have been super busy and super stressed! However tonight, I find myself at a loss, I have done all my homework, looked at all my courses and I am waiting to get my first personal statement draft back so I thought 'Hey, lets blog!'

Along with all the above, I have been busy taking pictures for various posts that I have up my sleeve that will be coming your way very soon...well eventually!

Lets get into this one though shall we? :)

Today's post will be "Outfits and Make up looks" These are three looks that I have wore quite a lot recently as it is a new season and I have been trying to mix up my make up looks this month!

This first one I wore to see One Direction -This Is Us and OK I just have to say this BEST MOVIE EVER! I think I was the oldest in the cinema but I really couldn't care less as it was SO worth it! I think it may even be possible that I love them a little bit more? But hey, I'm not complaining it was amazing! And the 3D was like out of this world! *shocked face* I seriously would go back and watch it a million times (maybe a bit exaggerated..OK 100) as it was that good..if you haven't seen it yet GO RIGHT NOW!

OK so with that being said, here is my outfit; 


I am wearing;Blouse - New Look, Scarf- River Island, Jeans-Next

I kept my make up look simple as I didn't want to look too overly done for only going to the cinema (although in my mind I wanted One Direction to turn up haha!) So here is my make up look;

Lips: Revlon Lip Butter-Cotton Candy

 Then for accessories, again I kept it quite plain and simple;


Earrings; New Look


Bracelets; New Look

Thumb ring; River Island

Ring- Topshop

 After seeing the One Direction movie on the Sunday, my week only had to go downhill as I started back at school after an amazing 3 months of Summer holidays! At my school we are not allowed to wear any make up, however with the rebel inside of me I get away with light concealer and foundation and just a smidgen of mascara..and Vaseline  haha Here it is, me with the least amount of make up I could afford to put on.



Also this is my hideous school uniform..ugh.

This next look is one I wore quite often throughout September, just if I was going out with friends or shopping or something like that, it was a quick look to put together and its really nice with the bold lip colour :) There is no outfit for this look as I didn't specifically wear it only one time, I wore it A LOT! :L

I am totes in love with this flower crown I got from Primark for only £2 what a bargain!! :D  I wear it all the time although I do get funny looks! :( haha

Lips- Rimmel Apocolips 'Apocalyptic' 

Eyes- MUA 'Undressed' palette, Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

Finally, this week my town had a kind of music night in the main street. This was held at night time, I have no idea why but it was. So I dressed casual and comfy as I was going to be walking around in the freezing cold all night! Here is my outfit below;

Cardigan; Next, Shirt; River Island, Leggings; New Look
(excuse my messy room!)

Socks; Topshop, Shoes; Primark

For my hair I wanted something that looked a little bit dressy but still easy to manage on such a cold, windy night so I opted for a huge bun on my head. I used a medium sized doughnut ring and tied my hair into a high pony tail and then fixed it in place around the doughnut. I firstly thought I wouldn't have enough hair to fit around it but surprisingly I did! Shocker.




For my make up, I wanted my eyes to have a bit of shimmer to them because it was a night out and well I would be meeting into people so I wanted to look half decent! Here is my make up look for the night;

Eyes- MUA eye shadow primer, MUA 'Undressed' palette, Maybelline The Falsies Mascara


Foundation; Max factor 3 in 1 all day flawless, Blush; MUA 'Cupcake' Lips; Revlon Lip Butter 'Candy Apple', Powder; Rimmel Stay Matte 'Peach Glow', Concealer; MUA Pro Base palette & Rimmel Wake me Up concealer True Ivory'

I hope you enjoyed these different make up looks, I sure enjoyed wearing them throughout this month! :D
