July Favorites

Hey guys, so it's that time of the month again! Favourites times!! This month consists of Beauty, TV shows, Films, Books, Food and Youtube. My introduction always seem so boring as I never really have much to tell you but I shall right now! So I am off to Spain on Saturday and well it hit me yesterday that I need write blog posts and well pack. Which I haven't done anything like in preparation! I went shopping today and well Primark is bringing in autumn/winter clothes but oh well Its fine. I am so excited for Autumn though as I don't know I love colder months.

Beauty:
I didn't actually plan on using the Avon spray but mine ran out so i used my mums for ages and well it actually works well, especially with my glasses. And well I have ordered myself one which I'm excited about and it is brilliant, keeps my make-up on all day!

Next is one of the NYX Soft Matte Lipstick, I picked one up when I went to London last week. I got it in the shade Cannes which is a pinky kind of colour. I thought it would be a great colour to wear when I go to spain as I already have so many nude colours. However I do want them in the shade London and Abu Dhabi. As you can tell they are named after cities in the world which is a wicked idea! They are still doing up the Boots in Derby however the NYX stand has opened in Nottingham and well I'm so excited to raid it when I get some money.



Of course my Kylie Jenner: Lip kit was going to make an appearance in my favourites this month, I mean it was pretty obvious! I have been wearing this quite often and especially on days where I wanted my lipstick to last a while and can't be bothered to keep re-applying it. Like when I went to London last week it lasted all day and I wore it when I went to Nottingham Pride on Saturday. My friends are always like "I love your lipstick, what is it?". Which makes me happy and well finally I have mastered the lip liner which is great but it means I will most likely be buying a lip liner with my next lipstick.


Finally is a LUSH face mask, it is called Cupcake and I have heard quite a few people my age rave
about it and I have wanted a face mask for ages from LUSH. So I gave in a purchased it when I was in London. I have used it twice so far and it is wonderful! I love the smell and it is just amazing, makes my skin feel great after having it on.

TV Shows:


My friends actually recommended Orphan Black for me to watch and well it took a while to kind of get the jist of the story line and what was actually happening but I do love it! I have actually just finished season 4 which is the latest season that is out and on Netflix. Basically it starts off by a someone witnessing a woman who looks exactly like her kill her self just as she gets off her train. That isn't the best explanation but if you have Netflix it is on there, however it is a 15 and can get quite gruesome at some points so be prepared. 

Books

Next is something completely different, it is the book Me Before You. I am currently reading it and have also fallen in love with it. No, I haven't seen the movie yet and I don't plan on seeing it until I have read the book! But I have got something to look forward too and I can't wait to finish reading it. I thought instead of trying to explain the book I would take a photo of the back of the book so you can read it yourself!!


Films:

The next two are films that are only out in the Cinema, I went to see Now You See Me 2 the other week when it came out and then Star Trek Beyond on Sunday morning. I loved Now you see me and was so excited when they announced there would be a second, it was brilliant and very funny. Full of magic and illusions! Next Star Trek Beyond, it was such an amazing film and full of emotion. Parts that made me smile and laugh and other parts that made me cry. It was a good job there was only 3 of us in the cinema! 
Food:

I have never really food into a favourites but oh my gosh I have eaten them both so much and they are just amazing. I take a nature valley bar everywhere with me, just in case I get hungry and I always have them as my snack when I'm at Sixth Form. 

The sausages on the other hand I found at Explorers as they are what we get for the 'vegi weirdos'. Yes that is what my leader calls them, I think we only have 2 but still. Anyways, they are so nice and I prefer them to quorn but my mum likes quron sausages more so I get these all to myself. I have been having them with salad for my lunches some days.


YouTube:


I have watched these guys for a while and I don't know why but I have well stopped watching certain youtubes like all the time, and well these guys I watch all the time. If they upload a video I'll add it straight to my 'watch later' playlist so I can sit down and watch all of my favourites later. Meredith and Teala both have Vlog channels too but they have only just started to vlog which is great and they are together a lot so it's funny to watch them one after the other.

Summer : 6 things to do when your bored

Hey guys, sorry this is later than usual for a Sunday but I wasn't feeling too good and was out all day yesterday at Nottingham Pride.

Anyway, during Summer you have so much time off and it will come to a point where you don't actually know what to do next. So I decided to give you some ideas to do, as these are some of the things I tend to do.
  1. Go to the Gym or on a walk. You can do this by yourself or with friends, I tend to go to the gym in the morning so I start my day off right or I'll go and walk around the fields near my house by myself with my camera. Also going for a walk will be great if you are a keen Pokemon Go player, will give you the chance to maybe hatch an egg or find some more Pokemon. 
  2. Start a new TV Show. I mean you have so long off and if the weather isn't brilliant like most British summers then it will mean you aren't missing out on getting a tan. Last summer i started a TV show and finished 5 seasons in 3 weeks, and well I didn't leave the house at all but oh well.
  3. Get a new Hobby. It could be anything, something that you have always wanted to try and never really had the time to do it, or it could be something like starting a blog or a youtube channel. Something to keep entertained.
  4. Change your room around. I'm changing my room slightly all year round but as you have so much time why don't you go out and actually change your room to how you really want it. For example stalking Pinterest to find room ideas, even if you don't repaint it just add new decorations or move some furniture around. Something different for the new school year. 
  5. Finally go out with your friends and do anything you want, from spending the day on a park, to going to the cinema, going to the beach for the day, shopping or going to the cinema to see that new movie you wanted to see. Spending time with friends.
  6. Start a book, especially if you are going abroad reading a book will be perfect for sitting by the pool. I don't read that much actually, I wish I read more if I'm honest but during summer I do read a lot more mainly as I go abroad so I get the opportunity to relax and read books by the pool. If you cant think of any books to read check out my 'Summer Reading List 2016'
Speaking of pinterest feel free to check out my account, (I'll link it all bellow) and I do have a board about rooms which might help inspire you if you are thinking of doing number 4! I hope you all have a great summer, are there any posts you would really like to see?

Kylie Lip Kit Review

Hey guys, so as you can tell by the tittle I managed to get my hands on a one of Kylie Jenner's Matte lip kits. I have wanted since they came out and it was actually the day of the year 11's Prom that I got it which was like 3/4 weeks ago. It arrived last Friday however my it got left with my neighbours who weren't in when I got home so I didn't actually get it till this Monday. 

I was out shopping with my friend and I got the notification that Kylie had restocked them and I just panicked in the middle of Sports Direct. I looked at Hannah, my mind had gone black I had no idea which colour I wanted. I went for Candy K and bought it then and there, in the middle of Sports Direct. I had the panic of checking I had enough money in bank mainly because the currency difference was confusing me a little. But overall it came to £34.12 including the shipping from the US, which i thought was pretty good considering you get both a lipstick and lip liner. I did have to pay £1.25 as I wasn't paying in pounds it was US dollars. But I really wasn't bothered as I had been waiting so long.
I finally got the email saying it had been dispatched and you could then track the process so I knew where it was, which made me more excited. I'm so sad I know but... 

I came home from my work experience placement on the 13th to see a royal mail slip on our coffee table. I looked closer and it turned out I had a customs fee to pay. I kind of guessed all the way through that knowing my luck I'd have to pay a customs fee. I wasn't that bothered as I had the money so I paid the £11.50 and selected for it to be delivered on the 15th. When it was delivered on the Friday but no one was in so it went to our next door neighbours. But when I got home they weren't in so I wasn't able to get it until the 18th. Anyways enough about my long boring story about getting it onto the actual product!!

It comes in a black box so you can't actually tell what it is from the outside but once you open it it says 'KYLIE' on the underside of the lid. It is carefully wrapped so the product won't get damaged, underneath the product and on top of it. The next thing alongside the box of product itself is the card from Kylie, which apparently is pot lunch whether you get it so I have heard so I was super excited when I found it in my box as it will be going straight onto my wall at some point.

Now to the actually product, inside the little box you get the lip liner and the liquid lipstick. The packaging of both of them are beautiful and I have fallen in love with everything about it. The only downside to the lipstick is that there is no stopper to reduce the amount of product on the applicator.  Another thing is it can be quite difficult to get off however it stays on your lips for ages, which is brilliant. I wore it for the first time when I went to Blackpool on the 19th July (the hottest day of the year) which seemed stupid because of the heat but in actual fact it stayed on nearly all day and I re-applied it later in the day after I had eaten on my bottom lips as it seems to be fade quicker there, in the middle of my lips. Which it does for all lipsticks as that is like the bit of the lip you use for eating and drinking. 


Finally the smell of the product, oh my gosh it smells amazing! I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like but I like I said I have fallen with EVERYTHING about it. I'm super tempted to order myself Exposed after summer or purchase a dupe of it from NYX as it has finally opened in my local boots stores. 

Have you guys got any of her lipsticks, I kind of want to try her glosses but I'm unsure as I don;t tend to wear glosses that much but they seem different others. I hope you have enjoyed this post, I'm sorry it was uploaded later than usual I had a little trouble with my other post and in the end gave up with it but oh well.
