5 Products I'd Buy Again

5 products i'd buy again


After writing '5 Products I'll Never Buy Again', I thought I should share with you 5 products that I would buy again and again.


Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser- I have been through a few of these and I love it! In my other post in relation to this one, I mentioned that I didn't get on with Benefit's porefessional. I do admit that this product works so much better for me, it gives me the poreless look I want. Also, it's so much cheaper than porefessional which is great!

Batiste Dry Shampoo for Blonde Hair- I've mentioned this product in one of my monthly favourites posts before. Even though I love Batistes normal dry shampoo, I love this even more because it's fantastic for root regrowth by giving a hint of colour to your hair and it freshens it up so much. Don't worry brunettes, they do dry shampoo for you too!

Soap & Glory Supercat Liner- I have been wanting to try out this liner for absolutely ages. If you didn't know, I won this in one of Soap & Glory's twitter competitions before Christmas, if you're interested in the products I won, there's a blog post here. After the first use of this liner, I loved it and it was my all time favourite.

Soap & Glory Love At First Blush- Again, I won this in Soap & Glory's twitter competition. Being honest with you, I didn't wear that much blush before getting this product. Now I wear it near enough every day. I love the design of it, I think it's very different. Although, my blush brush is way too big to pick out one shade, so I just sweep my brush across all of them and it gives a pretty pink rose look.

Maybelline Lash Sensational- This is one of my favourite mascaras that I would always go back to. Everything about this mascara is a 10/10 from me. It makes my lashes so much longer and gives them so much volume too. It doesn't leave any annoying fallout and lasts throughout the whole day. It definitely is sensational.


Do you personally like any of these 5 products?

What I've Bought This Month: October 2015


 Happy Halloween!
I have bought some lovely stuff throughout this month (the majority of it being makeup) and I just had to share what I bought with you!

New look leather boots

I have wanted some decent winter boots for ages. I do own a couple of pairs of boots but they're suede - so they're not waterproof and quite useless when it rains. Anyway, I took a trip to my favourite shop to buy shoes and found these beautiful boots. 
They have a knitted cuff inside which I thought was different and you could tuck it in if you didn't like it with a certain outfit. I find these very easy to walk in and they go with pretty much all of my outfits. £29.99 from New Look.

Boux Avenue set

When I saw that Boux Avenue had a sale on, I just had to go online and check out what was in the sale. I had my eyes peeled on this bra but in a coral colour - unfortunately they didn't have my size. Then I found it in this colour and I just had to get it! It was £26 gone down to £12, how good is that!? 

Whilst I was on there, I thought that I would treat myself and buy matching knickers although they weren't in the sale. They cost me £10.


batiste light and blonde dry shampoo

These have both been my go-to products this month! They are amazing!

Batiste Dry Shampoo- I have been loving this! This is absolutely fabulous for blonde hair. This has been great when my root regrowth has been terrible - it looks like your roots have been refreshed. I will never go back to using normal dry shampoo again. If you have blonde hair you need to go and purchase this and you will see how amazing it really is! £2.66 from Boots.

L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray- I have always loved L'Oreal hairspray's, they're so strong. I have incredibly thick and long hair and when I wear my hair in a bun, this is a life saver! My hair stays up for the whole day and this hairspray is also fantastic for volume. P.s this one is limited edition so go and get your hands on it now. £2.60 from Boots.

barry m bold white eyeliner

After a twitter chat about Autumn makeup I decided to go out and buy this. As I'm pale and I like to wear Autumn eyeshadow colours such as reds, purples, pinks etc... the colours make me look like I have been punched in the eyes. A lovely wise blogger advised me to use a white eyeliner pencil to change that. I must admit, it doesn't look so bad now. £3.99 from Boots.

maybelline lash sensational review

As I needed a new mascara, I decided to finally jump on the bandwagon and buy the new Maybelline mascara. Lash Sensational! I was so so excited to try this out and I absolutely love it. When I use other mascaras, throughout the day the inner lashes look very short (like they're not even there) because I don't use eyelash curlers.

This mascara looks good throughout the whole day and makes my lashes look longer and fuller. And, I don't get the look of the 'short inner lashes.' £7.99 from Boots.

l'oreal lip liner and lipstick

 I bought both of these at the same time. I needed a new lipstick so I headed straight to the L'Oreal section of Superdrug and I decided to buy this one. It's a shimmery pink colour - not too dark and not too light. Greige Amoureux - £6.99 from Superdrug.

I then decided to buy a lip liner. I couldn't find the lip liner that matched the lipstick because it wasn't there for some reason. So I headed to Boots and that wasn't in stock either. Anyhow, this lip liner goes well with the lipstick anyway. I sometimes even wear the lip liner on it's own just because I love the colour and it looks just like a matte lipstick. I get so many compliments on this liner. Bois de Rose - £3.99 from Boots.

rimmel london one of a kind lipstick

  I wanted a new red lipstick and I thought that I'd give Rimmel a try. This is a quite dark red colour and I haven't decided yet if it suits me or not. It is quite hard to apply because of how flat it is, it hasn't got the pointed end like most lipsticks. Being honest, I do make such a mess with this lipstick. I'll have to invest in a red lip liner. One of a Kind - £6.99 from Boots.


That is everything that I purchased this month. Do let me know if you go and buy any of these as I would love to read your opinion on them. Have a great Halloween whatever you're doing!

GET READY WITH ME! | Meal Out

Hello lovelies!

So, tonight I'm going out for a meal to have a huge catch up with my very oldest best friend!
Also, this is my very first GRWM post, so I hope you like it!

get ready with me

It's been a long day so I'm going to freshen up by taking off all my make-up and starting again.

I started off by washing my hair. I then used certain products in my hair to get it how I wanted to and then I simply dried it. Yes, I sometimes use dry shampoo once I've washed my hair if my roots are quite bad.

Starting with my face - I will be using Simple products. I will wash my face and then use a toner followed by moisturiser.
 Next, I will use 'Maybelline Baby Skin' to reduce the appearance of my pores before applying my make-up.
I will now mix my normal skin shade foundation with my darker foundation as I tanned beforehand so I have to get the correct shade. (You don't want to go out with a very pale face and a tanned body.)

After applying my make-up I get changed. I was stuck on deciding between leggings and jeans. But I personally thought that the jeans looked more casual as I'm going for a meal.

So, I'll now move onto my hair and all I'm going to do is straighten it and give it a bit of volume and hairspray!

I then just go over the finishing touches to make sure that everything's looking good and then give myself a spray of Armani Code. (Which, by the way, smells absolutely gorgeous!)
