March Favourites ♡

Hello everybody!
Today I have got a very brief March Favourites for you because I haven't been very adventurous with new makeup or beauty products this month so I am going to include some music and life favourites for a bit of variety. Hope you enjoy, leave a comment saying what you have been loving this month :)

This month my skin has gotten extremely spotty around my forehead area due to excessive chocolate eating during Easter! Woops! The product that helped my spots is this "Biore Charcol Pore Minimiser". If it hadn't been for this and drinking loads of water, my skin would be an absolute mess. It acts as a scrub and I would reccommend using it 2-3 times a week to get the best results. 

Biore Charcol Pore Minimiser: £7.99

As previosuly mentioned in my last post, I bought the Miss Sporty Stay 10 hour liquid concealer and it has been my most frequently used product this month. I definitely have to be repurchasing soon as it is so inexpensive and very small which is great to just throw into your handbag or makeup bag.This concealer is a great two-in-one conealer because it is great for concealing undereye dark circles but also it has enough coverage for covering up any spots or blemishes. Although I never wear my makeup for 10 hours, it claims it lasts 1 hours which is a bonus!

Next, I want to talk about this stunning "Blush Sculpt" from Loreal Paris which is a Trio Contouring Blush. When I saw this on the shelf, I was very intriguied by the concept of a bronzer, blush and highlight all in one. When I use this on my cheeks, it gives a lovely flush of colour and a slight illuminating effect from the highlighter. There are 3 shades to choose from, depending on your skin colour but I picked up the middle shade which is Nude Beige 102.

I found it strange that in a world of technology, nobody hardly prints out pictures anymore. Despite having 600+ pictures stored on my iPhone, I have no physical copy of them unless anything happends to it. So I have decided to start a Scrapbook and mine is from WHSmith in this lovely bright zig-zag print. After researching and pinning lots of inspiration on Pinterest, I have now purchased some Washi Tape and Stickers to decorate with. I am so excited to start this project and I really reccommend doing this if you like being creative.

Throughout March, I have had Zayn's new album "Mind of Mine" on REPEAT constantly. I just love the vibes on this ablbum, a mix of R&B and pop influences to create really beautiful songs and Zayn's voice is really dominant on each track. This album really shows how he has matured and left One Direction behind. Sad times for directioners. He even has a beautiful song sung fully in Urdu (his father's native language) which is just breathtaking.

My favourite songs on the album are: Like I Would // sHE // wRoNg


That is all for my March Favourites, thanks for reading :) See you soon with a new delicious baking recipe!

January Favourites ♡

Hello Everyone!

It feels like forever since I've put up my last blog post but I really have missed it. I decided to focus on my studies in January because I had my first set of mock tests which were really an eye-opener as I did nonstop revision for a whole 2 weeks. Hard work really pays off! 

As you can see from the title, I am going to share with you all the things I have been loving through the course of January. 


I recieved a Soap & Glory set for Christmas with all of their best selling products and I was really excited to try them out. One of my favourites was the "Scrub of your life" Body scrub which is a great polishing scrub without irritating your skin too much. Also, it has a really nice refreshing scent to it. It's a great size aswell so it will last you a long time.




Last month before I out on my mascara, I applied the Benefit "They're Real Tinted Primer" and it really helped with  seperation. It is brown in colour and when you use this on its own it  looks very natural. I definitely noticed the differnce when I didn't use this product because my lashes would clump together and not keep their shape.



I also coincidently got a 2 of the same Lush gift sets from my Mum and auntie in December and it came with a 100g bottle of Snow Fairy shower gel which is now my favorite ever Lush scent because it smells like bubblegum and it's a very sweet scent which I am instantly attracted to in any product. Shower time is now become an exciteable time because Snow Fairy is smells incredible. Love, Love, Love!



Finally I got myself hands on some Converse! I have been (and still am) obssessed with these bad boys and it is my mission to keep them as white and pristine for as long as possible. They go so well with most casual outfits which is great because they're really easy to slip on and off. I tend to tuck the laces underneath as they just look cleaner and cooler with the "no-lace look". Hopefully when I go to Florida in the Summer I can buy some high tops because I love the look of them just as much.





Although this mascara is on the pricey side, the product and packaging is absolutely amazing. It is the "YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils" and it is said to give a false lash effect and I think when you curl you lashes and put the benefit tinted primer on underneath, it does give the illusion of fake lashes. The wand is great for seperation, volume and gives a slight curl to my lashes. Incredible mascara!




This month I have been loving Bryson Tiller's music, especially his new album "TrapSoul". My favorite songs on the album is "Don't", "Been that Way" and "Exchange". I would say if you like RnB music, you should definitelly have a listen on Youtube when you have a chance.


Pretty Little Liars returned this Januray! I was over the moon because I had withdrawal symptons from the season finale because it finished on a rather big cliff hanger. Although the new season is 5 years time jump, the show has not got any more boring, it is as exciting as ever! Also, the liars all look stunning in the poster, don't you agree?




Thank you for reading! Let me know in the comments what your favourite thing has been this month and how has your new year's resolutions been going?
