FEBRUARY FAVOURITES


- Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum such a smooth, blendable foundation.

- DHC Eyeliner & Mascara both beautiful products which I wrote a post about a few weeks back.

- 17 Just A Fling review to come!!

- Autograph Highlighter you wouldn't expect an M&S highlighter to be to this kinda standard so it was certainly an unexpected surprise of happiness.

- MinkPink their stock is lush.

- Sheer Socks they're just so beautiful and prettaaaay and would go lovely with those boots that you get cold ankles with, but I wouldn't hold your breath about them keeping your ankles warm.

- Front Roe by Louisa Roe a book written by a fashion journalist all about bringing out your personal style and how to wear your confidence. I would recommend it to any budding fashion journalists.

- Wonderstruck Taylor Swift possibly my favourite perfume in the entire world.

- The Experimenter Lush I have literally bought about 3 of these...no shame...so much wow.

HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER


I'm just going to be honest here and tell y'all a little secret of mine...


I as the crazy romantic that I am, hate Valentine's Day. Dun, dun duuuuun. And when I say I'm a romantic, I mean like hard-core obsessed. Those who know me personally, will know how bad it really is. Let's just say I might shed a few tears when I see romance blossom infront of my eyes. Romance films are just the worst!

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand the whole concept of it and how it is a day in which you show your significant other how much you love them, but really? Really? So before I begin my small and contained rant, may I just say that this didn't happen because of some badass redneck, who left me broken hearted and emotionally damaged, I just developed is opinion on my own. So let's begin!

1. I believe that everyday should be a celebration of love not just some small irrelevant date I'm he calendar. So if you want to buy your partner a dozen red roses on the 27th September out of love, go for it!

2. The commercial industry and how it just goes too far. Some people just need to learn when to stop.

3. The pressure built up by the previous point. For me, giving up your time is the best and most expensive gift you can spend on your partner.

4. How apparently on the 14th PDA (public displays of affection) is totally okay with everyone.

5. How it is assumed that every single romantic ever, should be totally and utterly obsessed with Valentine's Day. Ahaha...guess again.

Now all aside, I am 100% cool with those big believers in V-Day and I think it's so so important to show your love, but trust me, this is done in the simplest of ways.

Happy Valentines Day *sends roses to everyone*
I love you all <33

DHC EYELINER & MASCARA




Recently I was sent a mysterious box from Elle magazine


 (after buying a subscription which I completely forgot about) and fangirled for a bit about how this was my first product which had been sent to me. Ha, yeah. When I opened the box though, I was even more excited as I discovered two beautiful products wrapped up like little presents!
DHC DOUBLE PROTECTION MASCARA
As I'm not really a big crazy clumpy lash kinda person, I prefer he more natural look and oh my. Ooooh myyyy indeed. It's honestly so perfect for me and I couldn't be happier with it. It lengths and volumes and honestly it just makes my lashes look super healthy and happy. However, there was one flaw to this beautiful silver tubed liquid, when you cry it just, it just goes everywhere. It's not a kind of smudge, it's a 'woah aha it ain't Halloween, why you dressed as a panda?' So a little tip, don't wear it whilst watching The Princess & The Frog. Yes...don't.
DHC LIQUID EYELINER EX
Can we just about the aesthetics of this eyeliner. It's so gorgeous and I'm like a magpie when it comes to anything shiny so I dived right into that delivery box. In addition, the lid is specifically designed to make sure that the liner doesn't dry up and it works! The eyeliner is long lasting, fine and a strong black and I actually do okay when I attempt to wing it.

Disclaimer: Even though I was sort of sent these products, this is my own opinion and it has not been altered in anyway for this blog.
