May Favourites | 2014 ♡

Hey everyone,

So through May I've tried a load of new things and I feel like I haven't done a favourites post in ages so I decided I have to do one this month...

 

The first thing I've been loving this month is macaroons, there's a farmer's market that comes to my town every couple of weeks and one of the most recent ones had a macaroon stand so I bought 3 different types, the pink one was Rose, the white/beige one was Apple Pie and the brown one was Chocolate, they were all so nice, especially the apple pie one which to me sounded disgusting but was so nice!

 

 

I also tried out the Body Shop lip butters, I bought the Grapefruit one and the Honey one, I don't like the grapefruit one, it is really drying and horrible but I really love the honey one, it's really nice as it smells lovely, it's really nice and moisturising when on the lips and I absolutely love it!

 

 

I bought a load of new candles recently and I love them all, especially the Pink Dragon Fruit and the Vanilla Lime ones, they smell amazing, I've nearly finished the Vanilla Lime one so will be finishing the Dragon Fruit one soon... 

 

 

When I went to Brighton I lost my Krispy Kreme virginity and bought a few back home, I bought these three which were the Oreo one, the lemon meringue one and the banoffee one, they were all so nice, especially the lemon meringue one!

 

 

 

This month I've also been watching loads of films, one of my favourites is the second Hobbit film which I love because I'm really into the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and the Hobbit Films so despite the fact that the ending of this film was awful (you know, because it ended and I have to wait for the next one ;)...)

 

 

 

My skincare favourite for this past month has definitely been the Origins Super Spot Remover because it works so well, it basically dries out the spot and kills it, this small bottle costs about £14 I think which could seem quite steep for such a small bottle but as this product is almost gel like so it lasts ages, I've been using this for almost 2 months now and basically nothing's gone so far, I'd be willing to pay almost £20 for this because it works so well.

 

 

My last favourite is this Max Factor concealer which I recently got in the shade Ivory, this product is actually really nice, the coverage is about medium, it's almost like a mixture between the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer and the Collection Lasting Perfection when it comes to coverage which is brilliant because I usually find the Collection concealer too heavy and the Rimmel to thin although I love them too also.

 

 

 

Thank You

Fashion Haul | May 2014 | ♡

Hey guys,

So a fair few weeks ago now, I went shopping in Brighton and spent a ridiculous amount of money and so I thought I'd write a post featuring a few of my favourite purchases...

 

The first thing I bought was this set of 6 rings from Topshop, for a while now I've been wanting midi-rings and when I saw these I was immediately drawn to them and bought them. I have worn these twice since I bought them and I love them so much, my favourite ring is probably either the pinky ring or the first finger midi-ring with the little blue gem!

 

The second thing I bought was this black blazer jacket from New Look which I plan on wearing to a wedding in June, this jacket is so nice, I've worn it since I bought it with leggings and patterned trousers and that's part of the reason I like it, it's good for everyday wearing or to formal events.

 

I went to Hollister because I'd never been there before so I bought a couple of things, the first being a body spray. (not exactly part of a fashion haul but hey ho) I didn't know what scent to get but in the end I went for 'Silver Strand Beach' which is quite citrusy, to be honest this scent reminds me of medicine of some sort but I like the smell anyway.

The second thing I got in Hollister was this blue and white floral top which I still haven't worn yet but absolutely love because of the pattern which is so pretty and summery.

 

 I then went to Urban Outfitters and bought a few things, the first thing I got was a pair of sunglasses  which were on sale for an amazing price (I don't remember exactly what the discount was but I know it was more than 50%) and I just thought were so nice, they have patterned frames which I really like and as not many sunglasses suit me I was really happy when I got these.
I also picked up some hairbands which were in the sale and absolutely love although I think I've lost the dark blue one and I must have left the orange stripy one at my friends' house because I can't find it anywhere which absolutely sucks because I only have one now..

 

Also in Urban Outfitters I bought this skirt which I love because it fits really nicely and I love the whole monochrome ish pattern. I haven't worn this yet but I saw it on a manikin and spent ages trying to track it down in the shop.

 

I also went to Next to spend some vouchers I had left over from my birthday last year so I bought a few tops, the first was this really pretty pale pink, floral lace t-shirt which I really like because it goes with pretty much anything, I love the pattern and have worn it so many times already.

 

I also bought 3 Next Basics t-shirts as there was a deal on that was probably something like 3 for 2 or something, these tops are just really nice material quality and I always buy these t-shirts oversized so I can wear them with anything.

Another thing I bought in Topshop was this patterned Smock dress which I absolutely love because of it's pattern and it sits really nicely on me too, I don't have many dresses I can wear on a day-to-day basis so I was really happy I bought this.

 

The last thing I bought recently was this Jack Wills rucksack which was on sale (I didn't get this in Brighton but I thought I'd include it for the sake of things) and I bought this because in next year I want to use a backpack for school instead of a hand or shoulder bag and until then I can use it for sleepovers or on a day-to-day basis.

 

Thank You
