Hello you beauties and hello December!

I hope you're all ready for a very busy December packed solid with posts! Today is the first day of Blogmas, and here I am promising you a post every day until Christmas. It will be hard, but it'll be worth it, and I hope you all stay for the ride.

For the first time ever, other than a chocolate one, I actually have a makeup advent calendar this year! I chose the Makeup Revolution one, as I have always loved this brand and it was such a bargain at only £30! At the beginning of each post this Blogmas, I will tell you what I got that day in my Makeup Revolution calendar.

Day One of Makeup Revolution Advent Calendar: A very lovely nude lipstick

So now, for the first post of Blogmas... my November favourites!

1. The first thing I have been loving this past month are Yankee Candles. I know I have mentioned these in a favourites post before, but I do genuinely love them. Especially at this time of the year. It's amazing having such autumnal scents drifting through the house and I love the warmth that they can often bring. I can't wait to light some nice Christmas candles within the next few weeks.

2. Another thing I have been loving this month is the 'Once Upon A Time' TV show, which I watch literally every day on Netflix. I really love this show, as I love the twist they have put on popular fairy tales and I find it to be a really intriguing show and it always keeps me hooked (pardon the pun). I would definitely recommend this show to you.

3. Recently I have been loving reading books, especially classics such as Wuthering Heights and The Turn of the Screw. Just getting lost in a book can often be so relaxing and it's been great being able to cuddle up with a good months in the cold months.

4. From a previous post, you will know that I have been loving the MUA £1 blushers recently. I love them because they're really easy to use and blend out, have great pigmentation and no fall out. And they're so cheap! Go and buy these if you're looking for a great blusher.

5. Surprisingly, I have been loving using eyeliner this month. Usually I hate eyeliner as it never goes right and I get extremely frustrated. However, now I have been using it a lot more, I have been finding it easier to use and I have been loving how it looks. And I know I'm going to use eyeliner in a lot more of my makeup looks from now on.

6. I have also been loving the Bare Minerals brand this month. This is because I have been adding more and more of their products to my collection recently and these products are usually becoming part of my every day makeup look. I love their products because they're not too heavy on my skin, but look great at the same time. Even though this brand is more expensive than most, I would definitely say these products are worth the money.

So these are the beauty and non-beauty things I have been loving this month. I can't believe that the next time I do a monthly favourites post that it will be 2017! Feel free to share what you have been loving this month with me. I'd love to know! Also let me know if you have been loving anything that I have been loving recently.

I'll be back tomorrow with day 2 of Blogmas 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 can't believe it's August already! Another month closer to my birthday (I'm sure I'll talk about my birthday a lot between now and September), I really am excited now. Also another month off college is something to look forward to, I feel less stressed out already and summer has only just begun!

As it is the first day of August, here is my July favourites!

1. Benefit Hoola bronzer
I hardly ever wear bronzer as I always struggle to find the right shade for me, and a lot of them always turn out very orange-y on my skin (especially the Makeup Revolution one that I own) but this bronzer is definitely one that I can work with. It's very light and sits nicely on my skin. I would definitely recommend this bronzer.

2. GOSH Prime & Refresh eye primer
I used to love my Korres eye primer but during this past month I really have loved this other eye primer too. It's very easy to use/apply on the lid, and keeps my eyeshadow looking perfect for as long as possible.

3. Yankee Candles
Who doesn't love candles!? I loved candles all throughout winter, especially cinnamon and apple scents, but Yankee candle store recently had some lovely summery scents in stock. They're great to use to make those dull rainy days that bit brighter.

4. No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara
This mascara is definitely my holy grail makeup product since I discovered it in my Look Incredible beauty box in June. Since then, I have already bought another one - I love it that much!

5. Gossip Girl
I have always loved this show, but I am loving it even more recently. As I've had more time to spare as I haven't had college, I've spent most of my time sitting on my sofa watching this show on Netflix. Definitely check this show out if you have time to!

6. Harry Potter
I have been a fan of Harry Potter for a very very long time but just recently I have become very very obsessed. In June, I went to The Making of Harry Potter and I am going back again in a few weeks time. Recently the Harry Potter series has made me very happy which is why it is in my monthly favourites.

So that's last month's favourites for you all! I'll be back on Wednesday with a new post for you all!
