Hey guys!It may be a little late as were already come to the end of week one in February but I really wanted to share with you what I have been loving in the month of January- better late than never!
Beauty:
Barry M nail paint 'aquarium collection' in shade '440 Mediterranean'
As most girls, I love the Barry M nail paints so I was very excited when I received this one in my christmas stocking. It is a beautiful shimmery warm pink colour with rose gold tones. Depending on the light and angle your nails are at it can either look a shimmery dusty pink or rose gold. It went on my nails New Years Eve and I have carried on repainting them with this colour. I think I love it so much is that it really reminds me of a sunset and I love sunsets.
Natural Collection Colour Foundation in the shade 'honey'
I am proud to say that for the first 17 and a half years of my life I have been very lucky and had reasonably clear skin so that all I ever needed to use was concealer to hide dark circles and pimples. However, I recently found that I was getting uneven skin tone so I decided it was time I tried wearing foundation. I have sensitive combination skin so the thought of caking it in product worried me a little so I thought I'd buy cheap. I am clad I did! Having an 'awkaward' skin tone made me worry about finding a match for a foundation costing less than £5. Then I found this one! At £1.99 it offers a light coverage and closely matches my light olive warm toned skin (I am white British but have Spanish and Indian Ancestry) and is easy to apply.
Skincare:
The Body Shop body polish in 'Glazed Apple'
I have no idea what a 'body polish' is but from how I've been using and enjoying this product I am assuming its a gentle scrub to exfoliate skin whilst in the shower and it does a jolly good job! It also smells delicious!
St Ives sensitive skin gentle apricot facial scrub
I love face scrubs and this is by far the best one I have tried so far. Texture wise it is very thick and gritty but you only need a penny size amount to exfoliate your whole face. It is also inexpensive and has a really pleasant smell to it. I have noticed since using this that I have had fewer break outs, smoother skin and my face hardly gets oily.
Music:
Taylor Swift 1989
Top 3 songs from the album are *thinks for ages as love them all* probably wonderland, new romantics and blank space
Demi Lovato DEMI
Top 3 songs from the album are never been hurt, warrior and made in the USA
Book:
Love, Rosie (previously published as Where Rainbows End) by cecelia Ahern
This book is about two childhood best friends who are meant to be together but life, bad luck and pretty much anything and everything prevents them being together. I loved the plot of this book it had so many twists and turns that always kept you on your toes. It is a thick book and I read it in two days as I just couldn't put it down! I also loved the style of this book: letters, texts and emails between characters instead of the standard first person narrative form of most books. I highly recommend it.
YouTuber(s):
The holy trinity of YouTube! Yes This month I have watched hours of Mamrie Hart, Hannah Hart and Grace Heilbig videos and I have no regrets. Love them! Film:
Camp Takota as it was written by Mamrie and stars her, Grace and Hannah and is a truly hilarious film but it does have its emotional moments too, full of laughs, great acting and the good ol' outdoors
Other:
Cadbury's hot chocolate and squirty cream
It is amazing and amazingly unhealthy yet I don't even care.
Keeping a daily diary
I have been really enjoying writing a few sentences about my day from what I done to how I had been feeling that day. It's nice to be able to read back and reflect.
