I feel like everything has been really up in the air this month. I've felt so unmotivated to do anything and blogging has taken a bit of a back seat which is a shame. However, I have had the opportunity this month to do some amazing things, such as a visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum in Poland as part of a holocaust memorial project. That was such an important and unbelievable trip and I truly believe it is something that everybody should experience at least once in their lives. There is so much we can learn from the holocaust and if you get the opportunity to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau then please do go. Anyway on a lighter note, here's what I've been loving this month:

The *Benefit Porefessional  (£24.50) could have probably been in every single favourites post this year because it's a product that I use everyday without fail. I feel like I don't give this product the recognition it deserves and I've got to the point where I kind of take it for granted and don't even take much notice of it as it's just part of my routine because, come on, primers aren't the most exciting thing in the world. This does everything that I believe a good primer should. It minimizes the appearance of pores, mattifies the skin and helps your makeup glide on smoothly and last all day. If you haven't tried it you must, it lasts forever so it's definitely worth the splurge.

My skin has actually been pretty decent this month and so I haven't felt the need to load my face with products to cover it up. This has been brilliant for me because I've been feeling really lazy and running late in the mornings. So instead of my normal full coverage foundation, I've loved using the Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream (£9.99). It's very light coverage but still manages to cover redness and blemishes to an extent and does leave your skin looking very natural. It also contains an SPF of 15 which is great for me because I burn so easily all year around and you can apply it with your fingers so there's no need to wash your brushes (fantastic). The only thing I don't love about this product is that I find when I don't use my *Benefit Porefessional Primer it has a tendency to cling to any dry patches and settle into any large pores that I have, which I find a bit disappointing seeing as it claims to give 24 hour hydration.

The Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (£5.49) was a new purchase for me this month, but one that I have used every day since. It's really lovely as an under eye concealer and helps to brighten the area as well as sorting out any bags that you might have (I have loads so trust me it does it's job in that department). I really love using this under my eyes because it's super light, doesn't crease or fade away during the day and I think it looks incredibly natural. It also blends really easily which is great because you don't want to be dragging about the skin under your eyes because it's so delicate. Rimmel don't have it down as exclusively an under eye concealer, but I just find that for me, it doesn't cover spots or blemishes at all. I find it much too thin for that and I don't believe the "full coverage" claims. But this is the only concealer that I will use under my eyes from now on.




Top to bottom: Nyx Powder Blush in Mauve, The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 01

I haven't been that fussed with eye shadow this month for no other reason than that my brushes are dirty and I can't be bothered to clean them but I don't want to use the colours that I already have on them. So what I've been loving instead is just running some of The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 01 through the crease and outer corner of my eye and softly blending it for a really lovely simple, natural look. I've seen Lily Melrose use her Honey Bronzer as an eye shadow loads of times so thought I'd give it a go and I'm glad I did. 01 is just the perfect warm toned, light, matte brown that compliments my skin tone so well. As an eye shadow, the Honey Bronzer blends easily and doesn't fade or smudge. It's great for a laid back everyday look.

I think it's like a tradition now that my favourites posts have to feature a blusher. This month it's the turn of Nyx Powder Blush in Mauve (£6).  I love this colour so much. It's a beautiful matte, bright pink blush that gives you that lovely healthy glow. It's a lot deeper than all my other blushers so I love it for the colder months, also it lasts so long. This blush is seriously weather proof and I need to add some more to my collection. I did a full review recently which you can read here.

Last but not least I thought I would throw in a non beauty favourite and that is Instagram. I have been loving Instagram in a big way this month. I used to not really post on there at all but lately I've been loving taking photos to upload and I'm really happy with the way my account is looking at the moment. I don't have a 'theme' because I'm not clever enough for that and also I don't like to be restricted in what I can post. If I like I picture then I'm going to post it! If you aren't already, make sure you're following me for a mixture of beauty and lifestyle posts.

What have you been loving this October? Do you have any plans for Halloween?

This year is absolutely flying by. It seems like yesterday that I was having my 16th birthday party and now I'm 17, learning to drive and have a job. A lot can change in a year, and usually I hate change and try to avoid it wherever I can, but I think the changes this year have done me good and I might even be starting to like it! Anyway, lets get on to talking about what I've been loving this month.


This month I've been trying to use as many products in my makeup collection as possible. So, I've been regularly switching up what eye shadow palette I'm using. The palette that has stood out to me the most this month and the one that I've been gravitating towards is the Maybelline The Nudes Eye Shadow Palette (£9.99) because it is just so simple to use. I very rarely leave my comfort zone when it comes to eye makeup and tend to stick with golds and bronzes so, this palette contains such a wide range of colours for me to be able to create what ever look I'm in the mood for. My go to look for during the day, has been putting the middle colour on the top row all over my eye area and then packing the first colour on the bottom row all over my lid and softly blending it out. I love that nude colour because it's just the perfect base for any look. It has a colour correcting effect and makes any shadow you put on top pop. The quality of these shadows is brilliant, they don't crease or fade throughout the day and they blend out easily. I'm really glad I picked this palette up and it is great for travel.

The weather this month has actually been really nice so I haven't wanted to hunt out my more autumnal shades yet. Instead I've been sticking with fresh summery colours like the Topshop Cream Blush in Head Over Heels (£7). This is such a pretty coral blush and I know I keep mentioning it, but it's just gorgeous. The cream to powder formula means you get that fresh and youthful glow without it being sticky and heavy on your skin. Head Over Heels blends really easily which is fantastic as I've always steered clear of cream blushers because they scare me and the wear time is good. Also how cute is that packaging!


Right to Left - Topshop Cream Blush in Head Over Heels, Seventeen Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive

Another product that I keep raving about is the Seventeen Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive (£4.79). This has definitely been my most worn lipstick this month and I've carried it about with me everywhere (which is why it now looks so disgusting and mashed up). Beehive is a really pretty peachy pink that is perfect for the transition between summer and autumn. It's a Mirror Shine lipstick so it's quite moisturising and almost glossy which I like during the day, because it doesn't feel heavy and you don't have to worry about it misbehaving, it just wears off naturally. My only criticism is that the packaging feels cheap and my lipstick did break quite easily because of how soft it is but I don't really mind too much because it doesn't cost the earth at all.

Me and white musk have always had a bit of a love-hate relationship. I do think it is one of those scents that you either adore or can't stand but, for me, at the minute I think it is beautiful. I've been wearing *The Body Shop White Musk Fragrance Mist (£7.50) all throughout September because I just think it is perfect for the slightly colder weather that we've been having. It's such a velvety and comforting scent that really makes you feel like you're being wrapped up in a blanket. The *Fragrance Mist is perfect for the day time because it isn't as strong and overpowering as the *eau de toilette but it's still got that deep mix of rose, jasmine, amber and wood. Beautiful.

Last but not least, no outfit has been complete this month without my Asos Rose Gold Tiny Triangle Earrings (£4). I don't usually wear earrings that much because I feel like it makes me stand out (weird I know) but these earrings are small enough that they add a bit of colour and something special without screaming out to people. I think they are so pretty and I love them.

So that's what I've been loving this September. What have you been loving this month?

Can you believe we are over halfway through this year already? I think I start every monthly favourites post with a similar line but time really does seem to be flying by. I'm half way through my long summer holiday already and I just don't know where it has gone! I had so many plans and ideas for this summer and so far I think I have only acted on two of them (see one of them here!). Here's to a jam packed second half hey?

This month has been all about easy products for me. I've liked my makeup being quite minimal as I think summer is the time for fresh and natural makeup but with pops of colour. This is a look that I think suits me so I've really enjoyed the relaxed easy vibe of it. However, just because I want to look natural doesn't mean I want my redness and blemishes on show to the whole world. I don't want to look that natural. The L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation (£7.99) and Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.19) are THE dream team. They give me exactly the look I'm after while still covering everything that I want covered. L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation gives me a flawless base and leaves me with even looking skin while taming my oily bits and not clinging to any dry patches. It really is the best foundation I have ever tried and is affordable too. The Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer needs no introduction. The world and his wife know about how amazing this concealer is and I agree with them completely. I have the lightest shade and it is a perfect colour match for me, the thick creamy consistency covers all signs of blemishes and redness and it's even a pretty great under eye concealer too as it doesn't crease and covers bluey tones and dark circles without feeling heavy. I love these two products so much and will be repurchasing them for a long long while.

To apply my L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation I've really loved using the Ecotools Stippling Brush (£7.99). This is the brush that dreams are made of. The Ecotools Stippling Brush is a dream to work with and buffs foundation into the skin like nobodies business. It picks up plenty of product and doesn't suck any of it up. Oh and it's super soft. What more could you want really? I have quite a few Ecotools brushes in my collection now and the quality of them are exceptional. For a budget brand they know what they are doing. I also think the bamboo handles are a really nice touch.

As I said earlier, this month has been about easy products. Products that get the job done and do it well. Eyeshadow sticks do exactly that. I love eyshadow sticks because they are so simple yet effective. You can just take one in a pretty colour, colour in your eyelids, give it a little blend with your finger and there you go - a one wash wonder! My personal favourites this month have been the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick in 002 Bulletproof Beige (£4.49) which is a really nice champagne colour and the Rimmel London By Kate Eye Shadow Stick in 100 Rose Gold  (£4.49) which is a gorgeous rose gold colour as the name suggests. Both of these colours are lovely for day time softly blended and Rose Gold is stunning when built up for a almost burnt copper eye look. These eyeshadow sticks are great because they are so easy to use and don't crease. They are also waterproof as well so they last all day. I think I will definitely be looking into picking up more of these.

Last but not least we have the beautiful Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti (£7.99). This is an absolutely lovely sheer orange colour that can be built up to a beautiful pop of colour on the lips. I've talked about this lipstick a few times now but I really do love it. I think what I love the most about it is that it's just so easy to wear. It isn't scary because it's quite sheer, it's moisturising, fades evenly, you don't need to line your lips and it seems to be flattering on everybody. It's a tangerine dream.

So there we go, another month down. Let's see what August has to bring.

Do you prefer powder or cream eyeshadows?

Can you believe we are halfway through 2015 already? Seems like just yesterday I was celebrating Christmas! I'm not complaining though because the end of June means my exams are finally finished (I will stop talking about them soon, I promise) and I have a whole two months of holiday stretched out in front of me. June has been a funny month, because I was at school for the whole first half of this month I didn't really have any favourites, but the end of the month has been jam packed for me and it means I've really been able to sit down and think about what I have been loving.


I've been keeping my makeup quite minimal recently due to the hot weather we're having. I can't stand heavy makeup in the summer, I just feel like I'm going to sweat it all off. So I've loved using the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream (£6.99). I'm not sure how many times I have talked about this now on my blog but I really do love it. It is just so easy. It covers any redness, leaves my skin looking smooth, doesn't cling to dry patches and you can just put it on using your fingers which takes a matter of seconds. I won't ramble too much because I've done a full review but I do think that if you have oily skin and are looking for a lighter base for this summer then give this a try.

My skin has been alright recently but I have had a couple of tiny breakouts. The Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer (£5.49) has been my absolute saviour. I love this stuff so much. I'll be honest, the name is awful but everything else about this product is perfect. This is actually marketed as a heavy duty under eye concealer, which it is, but it's also great for covering up any other unwanted blemishes or spots. This creamy concealer covers everything, blends easily and lasts as long as you need it to. I also love the size, it's perfect to chuck into a handbag and it has a handy little mirror for on the go touch ups or emergency coverage. I have done a full review before but I definitely think that the more I've used it, the more I've loved it.

Seeing as it is summer and I am on the paler side, I've been really loving bronzing myself up a bit. Bronzer was something that I was always a little bit scared of before but this month I've barely gone a day without it. The Body Shop Honey Bronzing Powder in 01 (£13) has been my go to because it is so beautifully natural but still leaves me looking like a bronzed goddess (sort of). I think what I love most about this bronzer is that it's matte. Unless it's eye shadow, I generally don't like glittery products and I can't think of anything worse in the summer than looking like a glittery mess. This is also a really nice compact as it contains a really decent sized mirror and the honey comb pattern is so cute. Full review here.

To put on my bronzer my weapon of choice is always the Ecotools Retractable Kabuki Brush (£12.99). This brush is PERFECT. No joke. The packaging is smart and classy, the brush is just the right size, the bristles are as soft as a baby's bum, it doesn't shed and it can be thrown into a makeup bag without making the inside of the bag all dirty. What more could you want really? I could rave about this brush until the cows come home, but I think I'll save for when I do a full review. Yes a full review just on this brush because it is that good.

I never used to wear mascara on my bottom lashes for fear of smudging it all down my face. But I've got into it quite a lot and I can see how much of a difference it does make. It really helps to open up my eyes, making them appear bigger and it just pulls together my makeup look, especially if I have put colour underneath my eyes. One of the reasons why I have loved wearing mascara on my bottom lashes so much is definitely because of the Natural Collection Water Guard Mascara in Brown/Black (£1.99). I love this mascara because it's a lot more natural than a black mascara but you can actually see it unlike a brown mascara. It's just the perfect colour, doesn't smudge and the natural bristle brush picks up every lash. I tend to just bounce the wand along my lower lashes and all the lashes are coated yet still look incredibly subtle and natural. For one of the cheapest products in my makeup collection, this is probably one of my favourites at the minute.

If you aren't watching Humans then what exactly are you watching?? This is without doubt the best new series I have watched on telly for ages and we are only 3 episodes in! Humans is a sci-fi series which imagines a world in which humans live alongside Synths - robots that are scarily similar to humans in nearly every way. These Synths are the latest must have gadget. They do the washing up, cooking and gardening and are even able to provide medical care. These Synths are so advanced and lifelike that they really are blurring the lines between people and machines. Humans follows the lives of Joe and Laura who have taken a Synth called Anita into their home, but there is something a little bit funny about Anita and I don't think that she is quite all that she is made out to be. It's quite hard to explain because not even half of the series has been shown yet, but so far this show is amazing and I highly recommend it to everybody regardless of whether you like sci-fi or not.

May has seemed to go on forever for me. I'm half way through my exams now and, oh my, it has been tiring. The days have all just seemed to merge into one and I cannot wait until I am all finished and ready to enjoy summer. Anyway, here is what I've been loving this month. It may not be the most interesting favourites post this month, but I have been so busy and I haven't really tried anything new.



I love a good playlist and this is a good playlist. She's Got A Boyfriend Anyway is a playlist that I found on 8tracks and it is filled to the brim with acoustic wonderfulness. It's so relaxing and perfect for studying too or just lying flat on your back and pondering the universe. Love it.

I know, I know. I think this has featured in 3 of my favourites posts now but I really do love it. Words cannot describe my love for the White Company Pillow Spray (£15). It is just amazing. It smells beautiful and helps me sleep like nothing else can. It's exactly what you need after a long day when all you want to do is curl up in bed and have lovely dreams. The bottles very nearly finished and I will definitely be repurchasing!

Bit of an odd one, but I am a stationary fanatic. These pens from Muji (£9.95) have been what has got me through my revision so far. They are just so beautiful! The colours are amazing and they are lovely to write with. I actually haven't minded doing my revision thanks to these bad boys because my notes just look so damn pretty.

My skin has been feeling very sorry for its self recently. A mixture of stress, comfort eating and humid weather. However, I think it is on the mend and I do put that partly down to the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub (£4.95). I love this stuff. It smells really fresh without being over perfumed and even through it is an exfoliator, it's still really gentle. It also doesn't dry my skin out at all or leave it feeling tight. I normally stay away from pink things, but this is great.

So there you have it. Hopefully next month will be a little more interesting.

What have you been loving this month?

I've been walking around most of this month with a fractured rib which hasn't been fun at all, but that doesn't mean that the whole month has been a complete write off. I've had a couple of great days. I went up to Covent Garden with my boyfriend on Valentines day and had a great time and for my friend's birthday we all went for a meal at Byron which was just soooooooo good. Over the past 28 days there have been a couple of items that I have loved using.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream in Light (£6.99). I love this stuff so much. This has been my go to base all month. I wont ramble as I have done a full review but it looks so natural, leaves my skin feeling smooth and looking clearer. It also makes my skin look hydrated as it doesn't cling to any dry patches and it's really easy to apply. I just use my fingers to massage this all over my face, no brush needed.

Lush Tea Tree Toner Water (£4.25) has been my skin saviour this month. It really helps too cool down and soothe my skin, calming redness and tightening my pores. It's perfect to spritz on whenever you want and I really have seen my skin improve since I started using this again. Full review here.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara (£19.50). Since getting Roller Lash with this month's issue of Elle Magazine it hasn't left my lashes. I love it so much. It curls, lengthens and adds volume to my eyelashes making them look 10x better than usual while still looking natural.

The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Night Cream (£12) is the perfect night cream if you have sensitive skin that needs a bit of hydrating. I love this night cream and it has been a firm favourite in my daily skincare routine because it really leaves my skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. Also it's fragrance, colour and alcohol free so is really gentle on the skin.

Herbal Essences Clearly Naked Volumising Shampoo (£3.99). This is my favourite shampoo ever hands down. It is completely silicone, paraben and colourant free which means it doesn't weigh down my hair and cleanses it properly leaving it bouncy and soft. It also smells really nice containing grapefruit, lemon, orange and mint. The scent stays on the hair but isn't overpowering. Beautiful. I can't rave about this stuff enough.

I hope you all had a good month,

Ciara x

Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energising Gel Wash (£4.99) has been my face wash of choice this month. I love everything about it from they way it subtly smells of grapefruit to the way it leaves my skin feeling smooth and looking clearer. It tightens my skin without completely drying it out and it really brightens up my skin. It's not a miracle worker, it wont banish every spot, blemish and black head but it is a really nice, easy to use daily face wash.



I still can't get over how much I love the White Company White Lavender Pillow Mist (£15). I wont ramble on about this too much as I did a full review recently, but this stuff really is amazing. It smells beautifully of lavender and if you do struggle with sleeping or are after something to relax you before bed, then check this out. I have been spraying it on my pillow every night religiously since I got it for Christmas.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer (£23.50) has been so well loved this month. This product is great for contouring or adding a quick bit of colour to the cheeks. It looks so natural and is buildable so it is impossible to go over board. Great for me as I am quite heavy handed! This bronzer is great for all year round and I love the fact that it is matte as I cant be dealing with overly glittery cheeks! You can check out my full review of Hoola here.

My Oh My. Words cannot describe my love for the incredibly talented Jake Bugg. I have had his latest album Shangri La on repeat this whole month. It is just fantastic. There aren't many albums that I can sit down and listen to the whole way through, loving every song. But this one is just perfect. If you haven't heard it already then I seriously suggest that you give it a listen. It is so hard to pick but my top tracks off this album are Slumville Sunrise, Messed Up Kids, Me and You, A Song About Love and Simple Pleasures. I NEED to see him live.

So there's what I've been loving in January. What about you, what have been your favourite things this month? Let me know in the comments.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wow can you believe we are into a new year already? 2014 was one hell of a year for me, filled to the brim with ups and downs. Over the year I fell in and out of love with a lot of things so here is what I was loving in 2014. (The bits I can remember anyway!)

L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation (£9.99). This has been my go to base ever since I discovered it. I know that was only in October but I didn't really wear foundation before that and I have used it so much since then so I'm going to let that count! I wont talk too much about this as I have done a full review, but this is the lightest foundation I think you will ever find. It is literally like water and just blends into the skin so you don't even feel like you are wearing anything. It also contains an SPF. Perfect. Although the shade range isn't amazing, I managed to find the perfect shade for me. It is definitely worth a look if you are on the paler side like me.

*Superdry Neon Orange Perfume (£35). I've loved this perfume ever since I got it for Christmas 2013. I wore it on and off for the whole of 2014 and whenever I wore it after a break of not wearing it, I couldn't remember why I had stopped. I did a full review of *Neon Orange and all the other *Superdry Neon fragrances back in August so I wont bang on too much but this perfume is beautiful. It's citrusy but also contains musks which makes it really versatile and easy to wear all year round. A firm favourite of mine and I will be so sad when this runs out.

The Kaiser Chiefs. I have always loved the Kaiser Chiefs. I think they are amazing. They released a new album this year - Education, Education, Education and War (£5) and I have had it on repeat ever since. It really is my favourite album from anybody in a long time. It is very rare that I like every song on an album but this one is just perfect. My favourite songs are The Factory Gates, Misery Company, Ruffians On Parade, and My Life. Seriously, go and give them a listen if you haven't done already.

Skins. I think it is safe to say that I am addicted to Skins. I mentioned Skins back in my September favourites post and since then I have managed to complete series 3 and 4. I've already watched Skins before but this year I decided it was time for me to have another little watch. I've fallen in love with Skins and all the characters all over again and it is a show that I would recommend to everybody. It is so raw and real. You can watch all the episodes of Skins on 4OD.

White Converse All Star Low (£44.99). I think these have been my favourite purchase EVER. They are so easy to wear, comfortable and they go with just about everything. I've worn these with jogging bottoms on quick runs to the shop, with jeans around town and even with dresses to parties. They have become my footwear staple and since buying them my other shoes haven't really had much of a look in. Yes they are white and get dirty easily but you can bung them in the washing machine and they look nearly as good as new. Perfect.

Eyeko London Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Black (£12). This stuff is amazing. I actually got this from a magazine but Eyeko was a brand that I really wanted to try out. I spoke about this in my Black Eyeliner On A Budget post and I honestly love it so much. I wont ramble on too much as I have actually given it a full review. All I will say is this: If you think you are bad at eyeliner, then get your hands on this bad boy because it will just make your life so much easier. Two swipes and you're done. Sorted.

So that's what I was loving in 2014. What were your favourite things in 2014?

I know people who absolutely hate the Winter and I have never understood it at all. So in an attempt to prove all you Winter haters wrong; here is why I love Winter:

• Hot water bottles
• Nights are longer and darker
• You can hibernate in warm coats and hats
• Christmas songs are now acceptable
• Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows
• Streets become decorated in fairy lights and are instantly so much prettier
• Festive scented candles
• The chance of snow
• Festive markets start to pop up everywhere
• It's basically Christmas

What do you love about the Winter? And if you are one of those Winter haters, what is it that you hate so much?

Can you believe we're into November already? The year seems to have just flown by. Before you know it, it will be Bonfire Night, Christmas, New Year's Eve and then 2015!

October has been a weird month for me with the highlight definitely being Halloween. For that reason, I haven't really got many favourites this month. However I will probably start rambling and this post will go on forever as usual.

The Playlist:

This month has been filled with quite a few sleepless nights but this playlist has helped me power on through. It's so calming and really helps put me to sleep. Even on those nights when sleep has just not been an option, this playlist is filled to the brim with gorgeous songs and listening to it has been a joy. I'm seriously so happy I found this playlist.

The Hair Product:

When I first got the Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Matt Texturizing Salt Spray (£3) I hated it. It didn't do anything to my hair but make it feel weird and it wouldn't spray out of the bottle properly. It's promise of mermaid look waves was false and I wanted to chuck it straight into the bin. However I'm not a giver-upper. I tried this in every way possible and still nothing seemed to work. However I sprayed it on my wet hair and then didn't have time to dry it before I went to bed. When I got up in the morning my hair was lovely and wavy and full of texture. Now I just spritz some on damp hair before I go to bed and in the morning my hair is instantly better to work with, has a natural texture and requires no effort at all. Love. Just goes to show that you should never give up.

The Beauty Product:

I have loved the Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream (£25.50) ever since I first tried it. This stuff is a miracle in a pot. I use it everyday and this little pot has lasted me for ever. I did a full review of the It's Potent! Eye Cream back in July and I haven't had to repurchase since then. Go out and grab your self a tub.
