Hello you beauties!

This month's theme for the Look Fantastic beauty box is '#LFSparkle', which is getting me so excited for Christmas already. And this box is by far the most amazing one I have received from them since I first started off with my subscription.

Price of box is £11.25 per month (if 12 month subscription). No fee for P&P

There are 8 products in this month's box

          The brands included in this box are: Look Fantastic, Sebastian Professional, L'Oreal, Monu, Bloom and Blossom, and Model Co

As per usual, we got an issue of the Elle magazine, which I think is a great addition to the box.

The first item I pulled out of this month's box is Look Fantastic nail file, complete with silver glitter. This isn't actually listed in their magazine and unable to find it on their website, but I am happy with this product as I have been meaning to buy a new nail file for a while - now I finally have one!

The next item was one I was very excited to see. It is the Look Good Feel Better Angled Blending Brush. I love getting new makeup brushes, especially eyeshadow brushes, and this brush feels like amazing quality so I can't wait to try it out!

Next I saw the Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray. This promises to give more volume to your hair which I really hope it does - I could do with as much volume as I can get. However, although it says it isn't greasy, I am worried about it being a gel as I have never had much luck when it comes to gels. I suppose I should just give it a try and hope that it is worth it.

Then I saw the L'Oreal Mythic Oil, which was the item they revealed to us before the box was released. I have never really tried any of the hair products from L'Oreal before so I am excited to try this out, but with it being an oil I am hoping that it won't make my hair greasy.

They also included a sample of the Monu Recovery Balm, which is supposed to 'recover' tired and stressed skin. My skin hasn't been at its best recently, especially with the cold weather doing its worst to it, so I am happy to have this in the box and I really do hope it works to help my skin.

We also received a small bottle of the Bloom and Blossom Revitalising Leg and Foot Spray. We've received plenty of products from this brand before and I have always been impressed so I hope that I manage to find this product good quality and useful too.

The final item in the box is probably my most favourite item in the whole box, It is a Model Co Blush in the shade 'Peach Bellini'! As the same suggests, it is a peachy toned blush, and I always love wearing blush of this shade. I have never used anything from this brand before but I've heard great things about the brand. Just from one swatch of this product I can tell it is amazing quality so far and I am excited to start using it more and more.

So overall I am very, very impressed with this box, and although the previous boxes haven't been very exciting for me, this box has helped me to show that it is still worth paying £11.25 per month. I am looking forward to next month's box - no doubt it will be Christmas themed!

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

Even though I am still only young (19), I feel like I have not accomplished much in my life yet. So I'm writing a bucket list for myself and I thought I would share it with you all. I may even update it as I complete each thing.

1. Carve a Pumpkin
2. Ride a Motorcycle
3. Get a Tattoo
4. Travel the world
5. Move to Brighton
6. Go to University
7. Write and publish a book
8. Get married
9. Have children
10. Become a healthy weight
11. Learn to speak French fluently
12. Ride a horse
13. Learn to ski/snowboard
14. Have my own clothing line
15. Own my own house

It's not a massive list. But I am sure I will add more to it in the future. I'd love it if you shared your bucket lists with me, even if it is only a short fraction of it.

I will be back on Wednesday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

A non beauty post for you all today. Instead, I'm talking about something that I hope you will all find useful.

Everyone needs to stay organised, whether that be for school/college/university, for work or just for general, everyday life. But how are you supposed to do that, when you've got such a busy life? Hopefully, my new few tips will help you with that

1. Get a diary/calendar
While this may sound stupid, old fashioned, etc, it really is an easy start to becoming organised. Write EVERYTHING down. Every plan you have, no matter how miniscule. It helps give you a better view of what your day will look like, and will help make sure you don't plan too much for one day.

2. Prioritise
For this, I feel like using school/college/university as an example. Let's say you have multiple essays you need to write. Some seem more appealing than others, because the topic interests you more. You feel like you want to write these first, and put off the boring ones for a while, but the dull ones are due in first. No matter what, remember to prioritise. Do them in order of the due date. Otherwise, you'll find you're getting too stressed out, having to rush the essays you didn't think you'd be that confident on.

3. Write a 'To-Do' list
This links well with my previous point. The easiest way to prioritise is to write yourself a 'To-Do' list. Put them in order of how quickly they need doing. Cross them off once you've done, that way you know all that's left to do. It's very much like a shopping list. And I think you can even get specific notebooks that are specifically designed to look like 'To-Do' lists.

4. Realise it is okay to say 'No'
Do your friends want to go out but you have a long list of things to do? Are you thinking about leaving your work for the next day because your friends are begging for you to go out, but you know you will struggle to catch up with your work if you do so? Then say no. The earlier you get the work done, the more likely you will be able to go out at a later date with nothing to worry about.

5. Have a place for everything
There is nothing more pleasant than having a well organised room. As I spend most of my time in my bedroom, it is crucial for me to have everything well organised. Things in alphabetical or chronological order, things with their own set place. It makes everything a lot easier when you have to look for something. But make sure to put it back as soon as you've finished using it!

6. Remember that you control your life
Do what you want to do, when you want to do it. You're living your life for yourself, not to impress other people. So do the things you enjoy, in your own way.

I hope this post has been useful for you all.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

I hope October has been an amazing month for you all.

Christmas is approaching quickly, and the weather is now reasonably cooler than it was just a couple of months ago. It's the best time of the year, and is there really any better way to start a new month than with a Monthly Favourites post!? Definitely not.

1. Laura Geller
This is a brand that I have never really tried before, but over the past couple of months is something that I have been introduced too. And they're products that I have been loving a lot this month. Her products are such good quality - the lipsticks especially are amazingly pigmented - and I will definitely buy her products more in the future.

2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
I think it has been a while since I mentioned a concealer in a Favourites post. But while I haven't been wearing as much makeup this month, I have still had a few blemishes that I have wanted to cover up this past month. And I love this concealer. It is cheap, easy to use and doesn't crease either. I use this on its own and I am often let very impressed with how good it leaves my skin looking.

3. Yankee Candles
Again, they're making a reappearance to the Monthly Favourites lists! I am a fan of candles in general, all year round, but Yankee Candles are by far my favourites - they just have a massive range of scents that are stronger than most. I love this time of the year for Yankee Candles too, as they always bring out their Christmas candles at this time. I went a little crazy and bought quite a few the other day, but at least I'm nicely stocked up before the festive period truly begins!

4. Hot Chocolate
With the rain beating down and the dark, cold nights coming earlier than ever, it is not only necessary to keep yourself warm whilst outside, but whilst you're inside too. I'm not a massive fan of most hot drinks. I do like coffee, but if I'm completely honest I'd choose a Frappuccino over a hot coffee anyday. So I opt for hot chocolate. Of course, everyone must love hot chocolate! Add marshmallows for the occasional treat and hot chocolates will make anyone wish it was winter everyday.

5. YouTube
Everyone needs that one night a week where they do absolutely nothing, have some time for themselves. But what are you supposed to do on those nights? I always opt for watching YouTube videos. Sometimes I choose to watch videos by Zoe Sugg, or Sophie Louise or Sophdoesnails (and I do watch the SacconeJoly vlogs every night), but there are often times I switch to watching some of LifeSimmer's Sims 3 videos. Always a great night.

6. The Sims 3
 As well as watching Sims 3 videos, I have been loving playing on The Sims 3 a lot this past month. It is an easy way to keep yourself occupied for hours on end as well as having a lot of fun at the same time. I still love watching LifeSimmer's videos too, and watching her videos has shown me there is even more to do on the game than what I already knew was possible, and so it has made my gameplay even more fun. I do love the Sims 4 too (and I am really excited about the release of the new expansion pack tomorrow) but in terms of current content, The Sims 3 will always be my number 1 choice.

So those were the things I have been loving this past month. While there has not been a lot of beauty stuff on the post today, I hope that you still enjoyed this post.

I will be back tomorrow with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

I have seriously been too excited for this box. I am a massive Harry Potter fan - massive! - and so Harry Potter merchandise is everything I live for. This box is perfect for that. So let's see what was in this month's box.

Again, I chose to have a Slytherin themed box.

This box costs: £19.99 + £2.99 p&p

There are 9 items in this box

Let's first talk about the t-shirt in this month's box. It is actually amazing. It is a t-shirt that says 'I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good'. You could get a grey or a purple one and I am so happy that I got the purple one (it's my favourite colour!). I can't wait to start wearing it!

The next item I am really excited about is the 'I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good' travel mug. While it is only a plastic one and probably won't keep drinks warm for very long, it is perfect to keep drinks in while out and about. It is perfect for the coming winter months and will encourage me to drink more warm drinks during the day.

Next I pulled out a house 'Prefect' badge, which I thought was amazing-ly cool. Mine is green, for the Slytherin house. I have seen these around before and have always wanted one, and now I am glad to finally own one. I will probably wear this pin with every outfit.

Next are two posters which I am extremely pleased with. One is a house poster. Mine is green that says 'Keep Calm and Be A Slytherin'. I love this poster, and I have always wanted one. The other poster is one of the rules that Dolores Umbridge created during Harry's fifth year, which is one of the most awesome posters I have ever owned. I am so excited that they did this.

They also included some ribbon with the Hogwarts crest and all of the House crests. It looks cool, but I really don't see why they included it. I know I'll have no use for it.

Next is another AMAZING product. In the box, we got a 2017 illustrated calendar! I am not usually the sort of person to use a calendar as I usually forget to change it each month or to even use it in general. However, the illustrations on this calendar are so beautiful, so I know I will definitely be using this every day next year. I can't wait for it to be 2017 already!

Then there is a wall hanging of 'Platform 9 and 3/4' which is actually metallic, and so I feel would be greatly protected. This is really quite cool and I'm going to make sure to find somewhere to hang it in my bedroom, especially once I go to university.

The next and final item in the box is a double-sided print, which I have already put up on my wall. One side is another 'Platform 9 and 3/4' print, and on the other side has a picture of Hogwarts. Of course I chose the picture of Hogwarts to display on my wall. I love these prints that they put in these boxes. The illustrations are amazing and they're all such good quality.

Again, I absolutely loved this box and I really really cannot wait for next month's box. And apparently November's box will be their Christmas box which I am so excited about as Christmas is my favourite time of the year!

I'll be back on Tuesday with my monthly favourites for you all!

Hello you beauties!

We are well into the autumn season now, and so I thought I would give you a break from beauty posts and tell you my favourite things about Autumn.

1. Hot Chocolate - I am not usually a fan of hot drinks, as I don't drink coffee or tea, so when the weather cools down, I love spending my nights in front of TV with a mug of gorgeous hot chocolate.

2. Cardigans - I love those big, cosy, knitted cardigans, and they're perfect for the autumn and winter months.

3. Wearing Uggs - Despite people's negative opinions of these shoes sometimes, I really do love wearing uggs to keep my feet warm.

4. Rainy days - While rain isn't the best for me now seeing as I cycle everywhere, I do love it when it rains sometimes. Not thunderstorm rain, just gentle, relaxing rain.

5. Blankets - these go perfect with the hot chocolate too. Sometimes the heating in the house may not be enough, and I need to cuddle up with a nice fluffy blanket too.

6. Crisp Air - the one thing I hated most about the Summer was the fact that the air always seemed stuffy, so I love the nature of the crisp air throughout Autumn. I can breathe again!

7. Scarves - We need something to keep our necks warm! I love going out shopping for new scarves every autumn and of course I love wearing them too!

8. Cinnamon Candles - While I usually light these scents of candles more during the winter months, I do love having cinnamon candles during autumn as I just relate it so much to the colder days.

9. Bonfires - While I'm not a fan of fireworks, having a nice bonfire is something I always love. Is there really a better way to spend time with friends during the dark nights of autumn?

10. Toffee Apples - Especially where I live, we get a lot of fairs visiting the city during autumn and I love nothing more than eating a toffee apple as I enjoy absorbing the exciting energy around me.

And one thing I hate about autumn: Halloween! This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just genuinely do not like Halloween. I was very shy as a kid, so Trick-or-Treating was not always something I enjoyed, and as I have gotten older, I have either been working on Halloween or just not been bothered about doing anything. This year I will be going to my first ever Halloween party so maybe this will make me love Halloween, but until then, I really do not like it.

So those were the things I love about autumn. Let me know what you love about autumn! Also, let me know if you hate Halloween too - I've never met anyone who doesn't like it.

I'll be back on Saturday with the last post of the month for you all!
