July Favourites
But, it's better late than never, so I will be doing my July favourites this time around.
Also, I'm holiday so I don't have enough time available to take photos and watermark then etc, so today will just be a text post. Sorry, but as always, the links will be at the end.
One of the things I was loving in July was the 'Archery' brow pencil by Soap and Glory. If you didn't already know, I love Soap and Glory. It's one my favourite brands, and their products are just worth the price they're stated at. The pencil has a felt tip type thing at one end, and a crayon/pencil on the other. There are two shade, 'Love is Blonde' and 'Brownie Points', which is pretty self explanatory for your hair colour. I got 'Brownie Points', obviously. It's really good for a starter brow pencil, as it is easy to use.
Something else was the Real Techniques Core Collection face brush set. I got this a reward from my mum, and it is incredible. Not only does it give a flawless finish, the brushes look so cute! They're also really easy to clean for me, and they're just all around the best brushes I've used.
The third thing I was loving was the No7 brush cleanser, which I bought shortly after receiving
my new brushes. It's so simple to use, and with the amount of times I've used and cleaned the brushes, I'm still on my first bottle. A bit on the expensive side at £8, but still cheaper than some of the bigger name brands.
Next, I have resparked my inner child by watching Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins is a beautiful film, and just amazing. (Acts like I'm not watching it whilst I'm writing this) Overall I'd say I've watched it over 5 times since having the DVD. It is definitely my favourite film, it's just the best. If you haven't seen it already, I suggest hopping over to Netflix or anywhere else to watch it.
Finally, I have been LOVING the Saccone-Jolys'. They are an Irish family of vloggers, with two children and six maltese dogs. In the family there is Jonathan, the dad, Anna, the mum, Emilia, a 21-month year old girl, Eduardo, a 2-month year old boy and Abli and Sina, the puppies parents, with the puppies being named Bianca, Nuvola, Nivea and Theo. They recently moved to England, and it is now part of my daily routine to watch their new vlog everyday at 6pm. So, if you want a new YouTuber to watch, give them a try!

Mini haul!
Sorry I skipped posting last month, I got busy with school work, my room was being redecorated and then I couldn't find any time to edit the photos and then write up the post.
BUT.
I am going to post this one, and another, and then ANOTHER, because I skipped out last month. So, feel special. :)
If you couldn't tell by the title, then is is going to be a mini haul, as it is a filler. And when I say mini, I mean mini. There aren't that many things mentioned, which probably isn't that interesting for you to read but it's something.
I would also like to apologise for the lack of edited photos, but this is being completed in a rush.
So, let's get started!
So I bought 5 Seconds Of Summer's debut album, 5 Seconds Of Summer, and Ed Sheeran's new ablum, Multiply.
So I needed a brush cleaner, because I was using shampoo and it was making the fibres all greasy and ugh. The only reason I got it was because I had received new (expensive) brushes and didn't want them to end up as my other ones. Anyway, it's really good. I'll put the brushes in my next post, as I've just cleaned them.
I needed a dry shampoo that worked, and this was cheap in Boots the day I bought it and it was pink, so why not?
I saw Ebony Day use mousse in her 'Everyday Hair Style video (link below), but she used one by Aussie, and when I went to tescos, they didn't have it. Grr.
There was some deal on VO5, I can't remember what it was, but I got these. The 'Mega Hold' one is great, it's weather resistant which is great for England (it's either raining or it's sunny, it's just stopped raining and the sun's come out).
I'm not sure if you can remember, but from my Welsh haul I mentioned the facial scrub of this make. I recently discovered that you shouldn't use a scrub more than once a week, so I bought this facial wash, which has the same scent which I love.

May Favourites!
This month, there are a range of favourites, some more unusual than my last favourites.
Let's get started!

This is the Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub by Neutrogena.
This stuff smells amazing, looks amazing and does the job it's supposed to. And it continues working instead of working the first time then just, not afterwards.
This is the TRESemme Keratin Smooth 7-day smooth system, which 'apparently' works through four washes.
I think it lasts through about two or three, and it's kind of a downer that you have to use 8-10 pumps, and have to straighten your hair after drying.
It is good though, and I have noticed vast improvements to the frizziness of my hair.
This is the Daisy perfume by Marc Jacobs, and it is amazing. The only way I can describe this scent is, summer and freshly cut grass and flowers.
It is really pricey, but I've recieved it as a christmas present every year for about two years, and it is so good.
I mentioned both of these items in my previous post, and I understand why people rave about this foundation and Sleek blushers.
The foundation is quite thick, but does give the full coverage that I have been unable to find so far.
The blusher, as most Sleek products, is highly pigmented, but it gives good coverage and the 'Rose Gold' is just the most beautiful shimmery colour.
If you haven't heard of this book, then you've been living underneath a rock or something, because this book is amazing.
If you haven't read it, then go read it. After you've read this post.
Yes, I do play The Sims, and I received this expansion pack for my birthday, along with Pets.
This is my favourite expansion, as it comes with so much for kids, teens, adults, toddlers, babies, elders, it's just amazing.

I mentioned this in my last post, and this has wormed it's way here, as I love it so very much.
It is the Kate Moss Rockin' Curves mascara in Jet Black 004. It's a Broken-heart shaped brush, and is one of the best mascaras I have found in a while.
Some songs that I have been loving this month include-
-Only Love Can Hurt Like This- Paloma Faith
-Brush You Off My Heart- Ebony Day
-Turn Your Face- Little Mix
-Daniel In The Den- Bastille
-About The Boy- Little Mix
-Happily- One Direction
Finally, a TV programme that I have been loving is Ex on the Beach, which shows on MTV, tuesdays at 10pm.

Drugstore Haul!
So, after having a week off from school, (thank the lord), you can probably guess that I went shopping. Well, you guessed right because I can now tell you guys what I got from Boots and Superdrug.
I am not rich, and I know that some of this stuff is expensive, though it is 3 for 2 across all cosmetics in Superdrug, so I took advantage of that.
It doesn't look like I bought a lot, though it was really heavy so I count that as a lot.
So first off, I went to Superdrug, which is one of my favourite places in the world.
Left to right-
Kate Moss Rockin' Curves Mascara - Jet Black 004
Sleek Blush- Rose Gold
Wake Me Up Foundation- 100 Ivory
Urban Fudge Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Hairspray (Soft Touch Ani-Frizz Strong Hold)
-I actually got two new cans as it was 2 for £9,but I put them away so I took a picture of my almost-empty can.
These last two items were from Boots, one was an actual buy and the other an impulse. I won't say which was what.

An Abundance of Katerines- Book Review
Those books were, An Abundance of Katherines, Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Let It Snow.
I recently finished reading An Abundance of Katherines, which I'm now going to abbreviate to AAoK, as typing it will get irritating and annoying.
Anyway, the book is about a child prodigy, Colin Singleton and his best friend, Hassan Harbish, a Judge Judy fan. During his life, Colin has dated 19 girls, and been dumped 19 times, all by girls named Katherine (spelt all the same way). After K-19 dumps him, Colin and Hassan decide to go on a road trip to try and cheer Colin up.
I won't reveal anything else incase you guys want to read it, but that's how it kind of starts.
BLURB-
19 KATHERINES AND COUNTING...
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a blood-thirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.
It is a great book, I would recommend it to anyone, though it does show some complicated math which, if you're not good at math like me, confused me.
All in all, it is a good book, and a must-have.
You can read the plot here if you wish-

Birthday Shenanigans
So it was my birthday last Monday, 12/05/99, or for you Americans 05/12/99.
I meant to do this post earlier, though I need to order more batteries off of Amazon for my camera. I also haven't taken pictures of all my presents, I took pictures of the odd few.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson- John Green & David Levithan
Let it Snow- John Green, Maureen Johnson & Lauren Myracle
An Abundance of Katherines- John Green
I did ask for these, as I wanted to read them and it was close for birthday, so don't take the mick.
I love these, granted I only ever eat three types of these, but I still like to eat them.
I got this scarf from the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Watford, I've been there three times, hopefully I'll do a post on that at some point. My Granddad drove for two hours to get me this, bless him.
I'm in Ravenclaw, not sure why, I'm not that clever. I guess the Sorting Hat got it wrong.
(Left to Right)
Rimmel London I <3 Lasting Finish in
-406 Cute as a kitten heel
-403 The high heel life
-300 Pop your pink
Then just some polish remover pads, which are a life saver for on-the-go.

March Favourites!

Tonight's post is one of my many (hopefully) monthly favourites.
Sorry if this post isn't great, I promise I'll try to make them better over time. And I'n watching Simba's Pride (Second Lion King film) while typing this, with wet nails. Whoopsie.
So, for starters, we have this.
This is the Maybelline New York Baby Lips Lipbalm in Intensive Care. Recently, I've been getting quite chapped lips, and using this everynight before bed has really helped. It's a handbag-must okay?
Don't ask why I started watching this again, but yes, I have rekindled my love for Troy and Gabriella. By far, this is my favourite from the three. It sends out a powerful message, and I just love it. Fangirl feels, asdfghjkl.
This is the Soap & Glory Hand Food. Basically hand cream. I have this in the minature/travel size, because it's good to slip into my bag before I leave the house. It leaves my hands very very soft, a recommendation to anyone.
This spray isn't in my handbag, I keep it in my schoolbag because it smells nice+some people don't use sprays. Yeah, ew. It's the Boots Natural Collection Body Spray in Passionfruit, and smells sooooo nice. And the liquid is purple, which is awesome. They're really cheap for the scent, and there's loads to choose from.
I know some people may not like One Direction, but I do, so sorry. This is their perfume, Our Moment, which is just, ugh. I can't even describe it. Even if you dislike the band, give the perfume a whiff, it does smell nice.
Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in 107, my favourite. I've been wanting this forever. I love the colour, it's like a wine red. I don't know where the case came from, but I think you can get them anywhere.
This is the Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum. Incredibly sweet and incredibly sugary, this has been coinciding with my baby lips to give me soft lips.
The Righteous Butter by Soap & Glory, the ultimate bath companion. It says it's for dry skin, and I rarely get dry skin, but it's always good to moisturize so I may as well use it. I've almost used this one up, so soon I'll be starting on the 300ml pot.
A concealer now, Wake Me Up by Rimmel London in Ivory. I've been getting spots recently, and this has been a life saver to minimise the look of it. Thank you Rimmel.
Now, my ultimate favourite. I am kind of obsessed with hair bows, I think they're so cute and can work with anything. I recently ordered these two from Etsy, and they came in the post on the 26th. I'm very impressed with the quality, I just love these two. One is Hogwarts with the Ravenclaw logo on it, and the other is The Fault In Our Stars with 'Okay? Okay.' on it. If you haven't read TFIOS yet, go read it. After you've read this post. :)

Update
Just noticed that I haven't done a new post in over a week.
Whoopsie!
The main reason that I haven't posted is because I had my french GCSE speaking exam.
I was so scared, I was shaking in my Sociology lesson and left the room early so it could be done quicker.
You're probably wondering what grade I got.
C+.
Pretty proud of it, haven't had to do a speaking since year 8.
Anyway, enough about school.
Hopefully, I will have a new post up by the end of the month, if I have the time. It'll either be up end of March or start of April.
Until then!♥

How to; make Tiffin!
So today I will be informing you how to make Tiffin.
Tiffin is like a cake, made with biscuits, butter, sugar, golden syrup, chocolate chips and melted chocolate. Unlike regular cakes, Tiffin does not require baking.
This is so easy to make, it's almost impossible to go wrong.
Ingredients-
-100g Butter or Margarine
-200g Digestive Biscuits
-2 tablespoons of Caster Sugar
-2 tablespoons of Golden Syrup
-1 or 2 handfuls of Chocolate Chips
-250g Milk or Plain Cooking Chocolate
Equipment-
-Sandwich bag
-Rolling Pin
-Pan
-Wooden spatula
-Tea towel
-Teaspoon
-Tray
-A glass bowl that will fit into the pan but not touch the bottom.
Method-
1. Put the biscuits into the sandwich bag and tie it up. Place the bag onto the tea towel and fold it over, so it is covered. Hit the towel/bag lump with the rolling pin until the biscuits are crushed. Don't worry if there are big chunks; it'll still work.
2. Melt the butter in the pan over the stove. Once it has fully melted, add in the sugar, chocolate chips and golden syrup. Keep stirring, then pour in the biscuits from the sandwich bag. Stir them in until all the biscuits are covered in the liquid.
3. Once covered, pour the contents of the pan into the tray and push into the edges until the bottom of the tray can't be seen. Put into the fridge to set.
4. Pour some water into the pan, and put the glass bowl on the top. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
5. Break the cooking chocolate into the separate squares. Stir regularly with a spoon until it becomes a liquid.
6. Take the tray from the fridge. Pour the melted chocolate over the biscuit base, making sure it is completely covered.
7. Once fully covered, put back into the fridge and leave until the chocolate has hardened on top. Once hardened, cut into squares and serve. Keep in the fridge.

Lush bath favourites!
I love LUSH, it is my favourite bath/body shop ever. I usually have to go in alone as my family can't stomach the smells, but they don't mind me using them. They do have all of their new Easter items in, but I'm confused as to if my store in my town will stock them. I hope they will, because otherwise I'll have to travel 15 minutes or an hour to get them, which I won't be pleased about.
So taking into consideration that LUSH is my go-to shop, everytime I go mental in there I will take pictures and show you all what I bought that time.
This is the Dorothy Bubble Bar. With bubble bars, they can be reused, which is quite handy if you don't want to use it all in one go.
This is the Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb. This is was created for the birth of Prince George; the son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge ( William and Kate). It has lavender and chamomile, and is safe to use for anyone over 6 months. And it's adorable. Do you understand why I like it?
This is the Pop In The Bath bubble bar, so like the Dorothy bar it can be reused. These come in different colours, but I bought the cream/pink/green on because it just looked so cute.
I'm going to copy out what it says on the sticker, because I laughed so loudly in the middle of the restaurant when I read it-
'Crumble bar under the hot running tap, let the water make huge piles of bubbles- then you think, you wink, you do a double blink, close your eyes, and jump in.'
This is the Butterball bath ballistic. Unfortunately, they have to be used all in one go. This ballistic is tiny, so I don't know what effect this will have on my bath. I'll probably buy it again though, so all is okay.
This is the Big Blue bath ballistic. They are usually gigantic, and this one has sea salts and seaweed compacted into it. I have yet to use it, but I will soon.
There are a few products that I haven't take a picture of, because I've used them. Those products are; Avobath, a bath ballistic; Dragon's Egg, a bath ballistic and Fizzbanger, a bath ballistic.
Fizzbanger is probably my favourite bath bomb, as it has popping candy, it changes colour and has a tiny piece of paper inside once it has dissolved fully.
The only problem I have with the bath bombs/ballistics is that mine take about 5 minutes to dissolve, and my that time my once warm/hot bath has gone lukewarm. Ughhhh. If anyone knows anyway to make them dissolve quicker, please let me know!
I hope this post has been long, I tried to make it good to make up for missing a day. I don't like being ill, we all know that feeling. Leave a comment if you want me to do a specific post, I'll try do it as soon as. :)

Skin Care- What do I use?
This is my skin-care product bag. It was a Birthday present so I don't know where it came from.
This is the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash - Zinc & Chamomile Goodness For Visibly Clearer Skin.
(Gosh that's a mouthful.)
When I first used this, there was an immediate result. I used it at night, so by morning it had really kicked in and worked. I don't use this all the time, I only use it when I get bad breakouts.
Simple Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash
I haven't used this a lot as I mainly use my Triple Action Face Wash, but from the few times I've used it it has worked.
Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner
I know this is used to shrink pores and to cleanse the skin, but to be honest I've only used this once, and didn't see any difference. That was only because I used a tiny amount because it has the plastic sprinkler on top and it extremely difficult to dispense.
Freederm Gel
The first time I used this, it worked well, but as time has passed it's stopped working. The reason I keep it is because in case it works again.
Savlon Advanced+ Healing Gel
This stuff is the best. It reduces scarring, which is good for spots or pimples. It also reduces the look of angry spots.
