Estée Lauder Kendall Jenner Pure Color Matte Lipstick : Restless
This lipstick was a bit of a naughty splurge for me, considering I've been trying to save money recently... It sort of fell into my basket on the Feel Unique website and that was that. It's SUCH a nice colour though and really quite neon on the lips - I've been wearing it a lot since I bought it at the beginning of the month and I love it. I like to wear neutral eyes and a pretty basic outfit, whack this lipstick on and I'm good to go.
Ray Ban Erika Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
My dad got me these glasses for my birthday in July and it's safe to say that I've not really taken them off since. I'm the kind of person who wears sunglasses all year round anyway, despite living in rainy England - the tiniest bit of sun and the shades come out, so I've especially enjoyed showing these beauties off!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara
As you may have seen from some of my previous posts, I loved the non-waterproof version of this mascara when it came out. Whilst shopping for things I definitely didn't need in Superdrug last month, I came across the waterproof version and thought 'why not?'... I. love. this. mascara. I have always found it really difficult to find a mascara that holds a curl because I have exceptionally rubbish eyelashes, but this is SO good. I'm guessing it's because it's waterproof so it's longer lasting and holds better but I've honestly never found a mascara that I've liked this much. The only thing I would say is that I found it really hard to remove at first, until I came across a Nivea eye make-up remover (mentioned further down) which does the job perfectly.
Tom Ford Perfume : Velvet Orchid
This was a present from my lovely boyfriend for my birthday this year. After dreaming about it for probably about a year, he bought it for me and I was over the moon - I already knew I was going to love it as I'd have a whiff at every available opportunity whilst out shopping. I do try to only use it when I'm going out somewhere (for a meal, etc) as I'm really trying to savour it - it's a pricey one, but definitely worth it.
Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub
This is honestly one of the nicest things I've ever smelt - which is probably the only reason I keep going back to it. I mean, it does the job, but it really does smell amazing. Go and buy it. Now.
Nivea Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover
I literally only bought this as I was desperate to find something to remove my new favourite waterproof mascara. Not even my trusty Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish or my Garnier Micellar Water would budge this bloomin' mascara so I really was desperate (and not really wanting to spend much money). I think it was on offer at the time so I just picked it up, not really expecting much - it took my mascara off like. a. dream. Honestly, it's the best.
Michael Kors Travel Card Holder
This was another present from my boyfriend for my birthday. I'd been wanting a travel card holder for a while and after losing my car park ticket twice, this was exactly what I needed. I actually look forward to getting my little card holder out and popping my ticket in here every time we go somewhere and it's definitely much easier to find in my bag...
Alpro Almond Dark Chocolate Milk
My new obsession. This and the chocolate Soya milk are my new addiction. You'd never know that it was Soya milk, as opposed to normal dairy milk - it tastes so yummy, and this one is also very nice indeed. I'm obsessed.
The Walking Dead Series
After a good few months, I'm finally towards the end of season five of The Walking Dead. My boyfriend's mum bought me season four for my birthday and I spent most of this month watching it. It's gory, emotional and a little bit scary, BUT incredibly addictive - although my heart has been broken a few times whilst watching, I can't stop.
MAC Lipstick : Russian Red
This is an odd favourite for me as I'm not much of a red lipstick wearer. However, this month I've really loved Russian Red by MAC. I think I prefer it to any other red lipstick because it's not too bright/orange toned (saying that, the Estée Lauder lipstick at the top is pretty damn orange). It's wearable and makes your teeth look really white, which is always a bonus! I've found myself picking this up every time I go out in the evening and I've been thoroughly enjoying it.
