October Favourites

Okay so were on the 5th of November now and i didn't think it was appropriate to wait until Monday to do my October favourites post so i decided to do a mid week blog update! So today i bring to you a few of my favourite things from last month...

Its very rare i go into Primark but the other week when i was in town i decided to pop in and have a little browse, and boy am i glad i did. I came across these cute, quirky pyjamas which i immediately fell in love with! I bought two pairs (pictured below) Mickey Mouse and Olaf, they did have loads more styles such as Minnie Mouse, the unicorn off Despicable Me and panda bears, but i wasn't prepared to pay any more for pjs. These were £15 each which come on, is quite expensive from Primark. They're the softest, fluffiest, comfiest pjs i have ever worn, just perfect for winter!

Most of my makeup i buy is L'OREAL and at Boots they always have a 3 for 2 sale on so i get the chance to try out products i wouldn't normally buy other than my necessities. With my last purchase i bought some foundation, concealer and this little beauty, the brow artist kit. I normally use brown eyeshadow for my eyebrows as i dont have to fill them in or shape them too much, but i am loving this kit recently and I use it everyday. In this little compact it comes with a wax which apply first to hold the hairs in your desired shape and then you put on the brown powder to fill in the gaps. Ive got the shade light to medium but it does come in variety of shades. It usually costs £9.99 but like i said at Boots its 3 for 2 so i got this free *yay*. Definitely worth the money though.

My last favourite for October is this strawberry body lotion from Avon. I use this cream every night on my hands as for some reason they dry up pretty fast, especially in this cold weather thats now arriving. I know this sounds daft but it is the perfect consistency as i hate body cream that's too thick and goes greasy/oily. It easily rubs in leaving your hands feeling soft and rejuvenated! Plus you only need the minutest pea sized amount to cover the full hand.

There you go, these are my October favourites. I will be making this a monthly ritual to show you all my favourites and what i'm loving from month to month. Ciao for now, see you next Monday!

New CID Mascara Review

Every month I buy the Cosmopolitan magazine, not only do i love the juicy content but the freebies they include are a huge plus! In this months edition Cosmo was kind enough to give us all a bottle of the New CID I-Intense Mascara (High intense volumising) in black. I am very reluctant when it comes to trying out new mascaras as i hate it when you re left with clumpy "spider legs" eyelashes, i am quite comfortable with my current mascara i own. However i had run out of my usual so i had no choice but to give this a go and boy am i glad i did. I love the brush, the texture and the end result. You can create such long looking lashes with just a few little coats.

My eyelashes really don't do this mascara justice, but trust me this is a miracle for me. I have never been able to get any mascara to help lengthen my lashes like this one has done as they are so naturally short. The brush has a profusion of bristles in a spiral like shape, so the best technique when applying is to twirl the brush and slide it up your eyelashes. This spreads out the lashes and prevents them from clumping together. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone who loves naturally looking, long eyelashes like i do!

Not only is the contents incomparable but the bottle alone is attractive to the eye. Rather than your mundane, cliché block colours New CID has made the bottle to be mirrored, how jazzy! You can purchase this product from John Lewis or the New CID Cosmetics website itself. I admit it is quite pricey at £18.50 but it is totally worth the money. I would love to hear your opinion if you have ever tried out this mascara, don't be afraid to get in touch!

No7 Make-up Brushes Review

These are my everyday make-up brushes. They're limited edition by No7 in gold. These are the best brushes I have ever come across, they apply make-up brilliantly, the bristles are so soft, I have not seen one bristle ever fall out (Like my previous rubbish brushes!) and they're so pretty! I honestly don't know how i ever applied make-up without them. The set includes (From left to right) Powder brush, Foundation brush, Smokey Eye-liner brush, Lip brush and a Blend & Contour brush (which i have no idea what is used for so any help and advice will be nice). My favourite one would have to be the Foundation brush, it applies the liquid so smoothly all over and creates a flawless look. I would definitely recommend these to anyone seeking better make-up application. Now I doubt this set will still be available as like I said these are limited edition, i got them at Christmas time, but I'm 100% sure that other No7 brushes will be the same just a different colour. If anyone else has these do comment as i would love to hear if your opinion on them is as positive as mine!
