Since I have been home from my ski season, I have been spending the money I haven't been earning back, and here are some of the results of my purchases, and the things I am currently loving.....
Cinema Light Box
I've been eyeing one of these up for so long, and I finally caved and bought one. It's such a cute home accessory, and you can have so much fun making little messages! I have colour and black sets of letters, so you can mix it up as you wish. This is my current Light Box message. Oh how true this is!
Zoella Beauty Sweet Inspirations
I am in love with the scent of Zoella's new beauty products!! It makes me so happy. I recently purchased a couple of the products from the new range and was super excited when I saw a Superdrug parcel on my doorstep. The packaging is beautiful, and always sits pretty on my shelves. The gorgeous macaron, almond, and honey scents are just divine! The first time I used the Bath Latte, the smell lingered for a long time afterwards, which I absolutely love. It's safe to say the body mist will be in whatever bag I am using each day, because I want to smell of it all the time!
KitSound Manhattan Bluetooth Headphones
I wanted a pair of wireless, over the head, headphones for using in the gym. Wires get in my way, and earphones keep falling out. I fell in love with the Rose Gold Beats headphones when I made a trip to the Apple store a few weeks ago, but I don't fancy paying out over £250 for them!
I sometimes have a problem when it comes to buying headphones as I have such a tiny head, they end up looking silly on me. I do own the Frendz Layla headphones, which I adore, and are perfect for little heads like mine, but they just aren't practical for exercising. I looked online at a few pairs of wireless ones, but none caught my eye, as I also want them to look good, as well as being practical. As I was wondering through Tesco doing my usual food shop, I found these! Black and Rose Gold bluetooth headphones. These were right up my street! On offer at £23, I couldn't go wrong with buying them, plus I could take them back the next day if I didn't like them. Although they are actually a little big for me, even on the smallest setting, with my hair tied up in a high pony tail, and the headband of these pushed back so they are sitting on my up-do, they are actually okay. I have used them in the gym a few times now, and I think they are amazing. The sound is great, they are comfortable, and I am well and truly loving them! Bargain purchase, and definitely getting their use.
Benefit Brow Products
My eyebrows are a very big part of my life. Since I started getting them waxed by the pros at the Benefit counter in Debenhams or House of Fraser, I have taken a lot more pride in my brows. I have recently started getting them tinted as well, and Benefit never let me down with their brow services and products. In May, I got a free full size Gimme Brow, which is my go to daily product for my brows, but this time I got it in the medium/deep shade, rather than the light/medium shade which I usually get. I use both shades all of the time, and I just mix it up each day as to which one I use. In this month's Elle magazine, they are giving away a voucher for a free eyebrow wax at Debenhams to every reader, and their 'Goof Proof Brow Pencil'. I tried it out as soon as I got home from buying the magazine, and I love it!Recently Benefit have relaunched some of their products, and bloggers' and vloggers' pages and Instagrams are filled with those GIANT boxes of brow products that they have been sent by the brand. It makes me die a little inside, as I so desperately want it all!
One life tip for everyone: if you're not a pro at plucking your eyebrows, pay for a pro to do it!! I mess mine up every time I do them myself, and the girls at Benefit have always been wonderful to me.
Urban Decay Naked palettes
I will never not love these. I currently own the original Naked palette, and the Naked Smoky one, and am forever tempting myself with number 2 and 3. I am a huge lover of a smokey eye, and my daily make up will always consist of a dark eye. I have no other words to say about these palettes, but OMG I LOVE THEM! All of the shades, I adore, and it certainly doesn't always have to be a dark, smokey eye. More delicate looks are also possible. Here is the Naked Smoky palette, featured in a recent Instagram photo of mine.
Candles - Tesco 'Damson & Pomegranate' and 'Passionfruit & Melon'
These two candles are lovely, sweet, summery scents, which are always burning in my bedroom. They aren't overpowering, but they do give out a wonderful lasting smell in the room. The big jars of these are only a fiver! £5!! The same size as the Large Yankee Candle jar, which show as £22 on their own site. I purchased the 'Damson & Pomegranate' candle last summer, and was very pleased to see it in the supermarket again this year, along with the 'Passionfruit & Melon' one. Love them!
I don't know how often these "favourites" posts will appear. I don't think I have enough inspiration to do one of these every month, but I will do them whenever I can, or whenever I find a new product that I obsess over! But I do hope you have enjoyed this :)
Bye for now xx
