July favourites // 2018 // Higher End

Hello darlings

Today's post is my July favourite,s do people still enjoy reading monthly favourites? I know i still love reading them, do people find them a little old news now? let me know in the comments! This month i've been trying new products and have done a LOT of shopping, oops! Don't tell Will. 

Tony and Guy Wave Memoriser, £8.25. 

I'm really enjoying this hair cream i'm not usually one for using hair products i tend to wash my hair put heat protector on it an leave it. A top it up with dry shampoo during the week but that's pretty much it, i'm not very good at doing things with my hair, i'm much better at makeup. But since i had my hair cut i've been trying more products. I picked this up on clearance for about 89p, crazy! considering full price its £8.23, i think its because its in the old packaging. It gives me natural waves that last till i brush them out, its great because it means i don't have to use heat on my hair.

Nip and Fab Glycolic Cleansing Pads, £14.95. (Currently half price at £7.48)!)

I'm not if i've mentioned these pads in a favourites post before, i'm pretty sure i have as they are my holy grail. I love how these make my skin feel, they are a little more expensive than i normally pay but i heard so many great reviews on them and i'm so glad i purchased them and this is probably my fourth pot?

Revolution liquid highlighter in Gold Euphoric, £6.00.

This is the first liquid highlighter i have purchased. I have a cream and LOTS of powder ones but not any liquid ones. These are the type you mix into your foundation or use as a stand alone highlight. Giving you more of a natural look. This Gold Euphoric is super pretty and i'm really enjoy using it on more natural makeup days. I need to try more from the collection. 

Mac Prep and Prime, (full price £22.50)

I only have a sample of this which i've nearly used up so i need to pick up a full size one. I got this free when i bought one of the Mac lip kits. This is so good, i'm not usually one to remember to use a primer but this month i have to wear it everyday in this heat! This leave my skin feeling so good and an excellence base for my makeup and it keeps it n place all day! 

Morphe 35 Taupe Palette, £23.00. (On offer for £14 on Beauty Bay)
Lastly my newest palette to add to my collection, it is the Morphe 35 Taupe Palette. I've only had this for just over a week but i couldn't not include it! Beauty Bay is discounting Morphe as they are opening their on site and store in England so Beauty Bay has the 'break up sale', which i took full advantage off! I've wanted this palette for a long time, it is filled with the shades that i wear daily, i think taupe and gold suit me the best. I buy so many warm palettes hoping that they will suite me but i don't think they do at least not all the time, but cool tone bronzes and browns do. 

I'd love to know what are some of your July favourites? How is is August soon!?!

September favourites 2017

Hello darlings.

Its that time of the month (no not that.... haha) Its my monthly favourites.  I'm getting better at using more products each month and i have a lot more to tell you guys. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy (£47.75 for 50ml) This is a perfume i have a very love hate relationship with. I received this as a Christmas present a couple years ago. Some days i think it smells amazing and others not so much. But this month i really enjoyed it, its a very summery scent. Plus the bottle is super cute.

Benefit They're Real Lipstick (£16.50) I received this in Elle earlier this month, i choose it in the shade nude scandal which is a gorgeous 'my lips but better' shade. Its a comfortable creamy texture, thats long lasting. Its also a handy size its prefect for my handbag an for travel, but this is a mini not the full size.

Carli Bybel Palette (£18.00, although currently on offer for £12.60!! wish i had bought it an offer haha) I have used this one non stop since i got this palette. It has a gorgeous range of colours, both eye shadows and highlighters which can double up as eye shadows especially the darker shades as they don't match my skin tone a highlighters. I'm really looking forward to creating some winter looks with this palette.

Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Be My Baby' (£5.99) I know i mentioned this in my last monthly favourites, but its just that good! (Link to my review.) This is my everyday lip product, its so long lasting and it the most comfortable liquid lip i've ever tried.

Lastly a book, this is 'Hurrah For Gin' by Katie Kirby (£6.00) I found this is a charity shop at the start of the month and its so funny! While i was pregnant i have to admit i stayed away from parenting books as they were far to overwhelming! So many people having so many opinions and advice that clashed it just gave me a headache but this book is brilliant. It says what all mums are thinking or have thought at least once but maybe not acceptable to say or live up to societies expectations. Its a light hearted book that is great for light reading.

I'd love to know what some of your September favourites were?

August Favourites 2017

Hello darlings!

As i write this i'm watching The British Bake Off, whos watching this year?! Or is everyone boycotting it? I'm quite enjoying it, i'd like to hear your thoughts! Today's post is my August favouirtes, i'm not gonna lie i'm happy this month is coming to an end! I'm so ready for summer to be over and for Autumn to come and yes that C word, CHRISTMAS! But don't worry this post isn't a Christmas post.

The Body Shop Shop 'orange' body, linen an room mist: £8.00

I don't mention many fragrances in my favouirtes posts, i rarely try new ones. But this one had been sitting on my shelf for many months. The smell of this is gorgeous! Its a beautiful summer fragrance, it lasts such a long time, a couple of sprays fills the whole room. The main reason i've been using this so much this month is because i adopted a kitten! and his litter tray is in the house and i need something to mask the scent. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: £8.99

Everyone ad their mother has tried and uses this mascara, its taken the world by storm. And i'm one of them who is obsessed, this has to be my fourth or fifth tube. Its gives me everything i want, makes my lashes long, curled, it doesn't flake or smudge, a winner all round!

Collection Speedy Highlighter:  £3.99

I don't know if i've mentioned this highlighter in  a post before? I don't know why as this is a gorgeous stick highlighter! Its a proper wow, in your face kind of highlighter. Its very pretty ad long lasting. Definitely good for those Instagram pics!

Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick: £5.99

I mentioned this liquid lipstick in my last post (link) and i raved about it! So its no surprise that it has made it into this months favourite. I'll let you check it out that post and you can read all my thoughts on it! 

No7 Day Cream: £25.00

This is the only skincare product this month. Its the No7 day cream i got in a Christmas set last year from my brother and i've only just cracked it open as i own so many face creams and moisturizers that it takes me a while to work through them!. This is just a really nice bog standard face cream, it does what t says on the tin! Its lightweight and absorbs into the skin quickly. Its smells lovely! Overall a fab face cream! 

Lastly Meet Zeus, he and Isaac are already best buddies. Of course Zeus and Isaac are included in my monthy favourites. But i will be doing a whole separate post introducing Zeus and also Isaac's six month update! Yes i can't believe he is six months old already too! So look out for those in the next week or two.

I'd love to know what are some of your August Favourites?

April Favourites 2017

Hello darlings

I'm really getting back into the swing of blogging, are you guys proud? I've missed it so much! I can't believe its already May, and Isaac is 10 weeks old today! Its so scary how quickly they grow. This month is a mixture of old and new favourites so lets crack o. 

Ever since i got pregnant with Isaac i've regained my motivation for moisturizing my body. Because lets be honest who remembers or has the energy to moisturize their whole body everyday. Not me. I'd read a lot about these Vaseline Mositurzing sprays and thought they looked like a good idea, they are quick and good when you have a newborn baby. I have to admit i still don't do it everyday but i do 3/4 times a week, a lot more than i use to. 

I always have a lip balm on my and in nearly every room of my house, i've got into the vicious cycle that i use lipbalm all the time so my lips are depend on them, if i miss a day or two they go awfully dry! So i'm always on the hunt for lip balms, the Malibu Lip Care in Vanilla, i picked up this lip balm in B&M a week or two ago and i haven't stopped using it. Its so creamy and moisturizing. Its also has SF30 so it will be brilliant for the summer!

I'm really upping my skincare routine recently, look out for my updated skincare routine coming soon! An old favourite is the Vichy Aquilia Serum. With this product you do not need a lot, a pump or two goes a long way! The liquid drys fast, it isn't sticky or tacky so its perfect to apply first thing in the morning and to wear under makeup. It provides a smooth base and it is absorbed into the skin quickly.

I haven't tried many eye shadow primers, i've never had much of a problem with making my eye shadow stay as i have quite dry eyelids. The Essence Eye Shadow Primer is a

great budget eye shadow primer, its only £2.50. Its creamy, it very similar to a concealer, not runny or thin. But once its blended its pretty much invisible so it doesn't change the colour for the eye shadow. Another great budget primer that i ran out of a couple months ago and have been meaning to repurchase is the e.l.f eye shadow primer. 

Mac Lip Liner in Edge to Edge, this is the only lip liner i own from Mac and i am so in love with it! Its a great stand alone colour or great as a base for my lipstick. Its a lovely blue-pinky colour, it goes perfectly with Mac's Brave Lipstick. I really need to purchase some more, does anyone have any suggestions? I've looked a Spice and think its really pretty. 

I'd love to know what are some of your April Favouirtes?

Have you tried any of these products?

My Top five Summer lipsticks

Hello darlings

Today's post would normally be my lip of the week but to switch things up a little i thought i'd do my top 5 favourite Summer lipsticks. Looking at the pictures i took, i realised how similar they all were, i guess i do have a favourite shade! But they are all different textures, different finishes and different lasting power. So i do need them all ;) 

L to R

MAC 'Velvet Teddy'

First up is a MAC lipstick, this is my latest purchase and my latest lip of the week. I was worried it would be too dark for me but it actually complemented my skin tone quite well. It is a matte but i find it very creamy on the lips its almost a satin, like my MAC Brave lipstick. But as the day goes on it turns matte on the lips. It is very long lasting. This lipstick lives in my handbag as its quick and easy to apply.  

MAC 'Brave'

Brave is a stain finish, i knew that i didn't want a glossy or cream finish so i thought a stain would be perfect for my first MAC lipstick and it is. Its creamy on the lips but not shiny. Brave is a gorgeous colour, an everyday wearable natural shade but not a dead lips nude its more deep, its a pinky-mauve shade. Its very pigmented, it doesn't take too much to build it up to a strong colour. Its also one of my most wearable shades, it goes well with lots of makeup and fashion looks. 

Revlon 'Blushing Mauve'

This a gorgeous purple-pink colour that is very pigmented. Its a pearl finish, but it isnt' glittery. It was my first favourite lipstick, i use to take this everywhere with me! It was also my favourite finish before i discovered Mattes. There was a time where i got a little obsessed with Revlon! Revlon produces amazing lip products, most of my collection and lip of the weeks have feature their lip products. 

Max Factor 'Rosewood'

This is one of my favourite all round shades, its a beautiful brownish pink, its got a little purple to it too. Its quite a warm shade perfect for Winter as well a Summer. Its very moisturizing, very creamy, its definitely not a matte or stain finish, its very balmy and gives a shinny finish. It its very pigmented with no shimmer or patchiness to it. I think this would be a great first lipstick for someone. 

Rimmel Kate '08'

This is a lovely nude brown, very 90's, i almost want to say 'Kylie Jenner'. So if you're looking for that particular look, then this is great, drugstore alternative, especially if you're on a budget! Plus it smells like vanilla, which is always good in my books! I haven't got many of the Kate Moss lipsticks but i love this one so much i will have to look out for some more! 

I'd love to know have you tried any of these lipsticks?

February Favourites 2016

Hello darlings.

Today's post is my February favourites, i think i have finally got into the habit of writing 2016 instead of 2015! There have been quite a few products i have been loving this month all of them are relatively new things, i hope you enjoy :)

L'Oreal 'Eva's Nude' Lipstick

I bought this lipstick when i was in Edinburgh. I was looking for a nude lipstick that i could keep in my uni bag. I was looking at the L'Oreal stand as i love their lipsticks and have a couple fo them already and they haven't disappointed me. I believe the range has four nudes and Eva's was the most appealing to me. Although i think it is intended for darker skin tones but nonetheless i really like it and i think it suits me. Its gorgeous almost coral nude, not terribly long lasting but a lovely formula and feels nice on the lips.

B Anti-blemish Makeup Primer

This is my perfect primer it makes my makeup last all day, it smooth and doesn't dry my skin out. It is intend for oily and spot prone skin. I have dry skin so as first i was worried it would dry my skin out but i've been using it for a week or so now and it hasn't, if anything i think me skin is improving. I do have terribly spot prone skin and i haven't has many spots recently and i think its partly down to this. 

Real Techniques Sponge

I did a whole blog post on this wonderful little sponge so i wont bore you too much about it. (link) Its a gorgeous way of blending either foundation or concealer, i personally prefer to use it to blend my concealer. The shape of it means it fits under my eyes perfectly. You can use it wet or dry and its give the most wonderful finish. 

Maybelline Brow Drama

Lastly this is my current favorite brow product, i'm planning to do a review of this little beauty, just once i've taken the pictures! It gives definition and fullness to my brows, both for a natural and dramatic look. Although i rarely go for a natural look. The only downside to this product is i'm not a huge fan of the wand but it does work and love how it makes my brows look afterwards. This is perfect for a if you are in rush!  

I'd love to know have you tried any of these products?

What are some of your February favourites?

November Favourites: 2015

Hello darlings

Can you believe it is December 1st!! I'm so excited, its finally the Christmas Season! Who else is excited? Although today's post isn't very Christmasy it is my latest favourites, my November ones to be specific. I hope you enjoy :) 

I'll start of with a product thats no stranger on my blog, my Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Pencil in 'Berry Much' i have a couple of these pencils and i love them. They are quick and easy to use, very pigmented, creamy and long lasting, everything i'm looking for in a lip product. I have especially been loving berry much this month, its the perfect winter shade.

I haven't had the Makeup Revolution Radiance Palette very long, only a month or so but it has fast become my staple makeup item. Its the most gorgeous palette i own, not necessarily packaging wise, it very basic, but definitely the product. The first pinkish shade is my favourite it provides the most gorgeous light sheen, perfect for everyday!

Again this product is no stranger to my blog No7 Nail Polish in 'Deep Wine' i got this little nail polish in my No7 advent calendar last year and i have loved it ever since. Its the perfect berry colour, again perfect for this season!

Lastly is this Sleek Blush in 'Suede', i love sleek blushes i think they are great value for money. The packaging is well sleek, its cute and compact. This one, suede, is my favourite, it is definitely a autumn colour but i wear it all year round. The product is very pigmented and a small amount goes a long way. 

I'd love to know what are some of you guy's favouirtes are this month?

And are you excited for Christmas?!

October Favourites 2015

Hello darlings.

As i say every month i can't believe how quick October has gone and its officially November! Which means its closer to Christmas yay! and my birthday, well my birthday was yesterday and i had an awesome day :) (i will be doing a post soon) This month i only have a couple of favourites they are all beauty products too, i hope you enjoy :)

All my October favourites this month are makeup related, i haven't been using much skin care as i'm trying to figure out why i'm getting awful breakouts. I'll start off with a makeup brush i've been loving, its the Ebay Flat Top Kabuki Brush (review) i love this brush for applying foundation, it give good even coverage, its soft and great quality. I've had it for a good few months now and it hasn't shed any hairs yet! 

Next is a GOSH Matte Lipstick in 'Rose' i've already mentioned this lipstick in a lip of the week. I love this lipstick, its a lovely pinky nude, the formula is creamy, log lasting and doesn't dry out my lips. 

The palette i've been loving this month is the Naked 2 Palette (review) i've nearly hit pan on Suspect my favourite shade, which is a lovely bronze colour, i still need to experiment with some of the other shades, its such a gorgeous variety such as YDK and Pistol.

 The last beauty favourite for October is the Sleek Contour Kit in light (mentioned in my latest haul) i haven't used the bronzer in this kit much but i am obsessed with the highlighter, its a gorgeous subtle highlighter that you can build up to a dramatic glow, definitely work trying!

I'd love to know what some of your beauty favouites are this month?

Can you recommend any beauty products i should try? I'm always looking for new ones :)

My favourite Autumn (Fall)/Winter Nail Polishes 2015

Hello darlings.

Today post on Perfect Fixation is about my favourite autumn (fall) and winter nail polishes, i did a post similar to this last year and thought i'd make it a yearly tradition, i hope you enjoy :) 

Starting off with the neutral shades, i have been currently loving NYC's 'Park Ave' and Primark's P.S. 'Caramel Kiss' they are both lovely nude/brownish/taupe shades that go with all autumnal outfits. Another P.S. shade that i believe is perfect for this season (I'm sorry it doesn't say the shade name i got this one in a set last year) it is a lovely deep purple that has a lovely sheen. Another purple this time not so deep is Barry M 'Berry Cosmo' I love this nail polish its my second bottle i've bought, i always get it out this time of year and Barry M polishes are such good quality. Next is No7 'Deep Wine' i got this nail polish in my No7 advent calendar last year, its a gorgeous shade, perfect for this season, very autumnal, its only a small size so i hope to pick up a full size bottle as will soon run out. Max Factor's 'Sheen Merlot' i have such a love hate relationship with this nail polish! I adore the colour and the way it applies and looks, it just chips so quickly! Its the only Max Factor nail polish i've tried so i don't know if they are like this. Lastly OPI 'William Tell Me About It' i mentioned this nail polish in my last autumn nails blog post, its still one of my favourites, i just love OPI nail polishes and i love finding them at TK Maxx and getting a great deal!

I'm currently wearing the P.S 'Caramel Kiss'

I'd love to know what are some of your favourite autumn/winter nail polishes?

Can you recommend any good ones that i should try?

My Current Haircare Routine/Favourites I Perfect Fixations

Hello Darlings

Its been a while since i've posted on Perfect Fixations which makes me sad but i was sitting in bed and suddenly had the inspiration to write a post, don't you just love it when that happens? I always get the nicest comments on my hair so i thought i'd do a little post on my current hair care routine and a couple of favourites that i have. These are all affordable drug store products and most of them i have loved for years. 

I hope you enjoy :) 

When it comes to washing my hair i have a couple of favourites, so i'll start off with shampoos and hair masks: I have been using the L'Oreal Elvive Re-nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner for quite some time, i have quite long and somewhat dry hair so i find this shampoo and condition are they best to keep my hair soft and hydrated. On top of that i love to use hair masks, i find them to be the quickest and simplest method of looking after my hair, i've mentioned different ones in monthly favourites but the two i've been lovely recently are The Superdrug Own Brand Coconut Oil Mask and the Dove Intensive Repair Mask, i use a hair mask about twice a week, plus they are good if you re having a little pampering session! 

Continuing with my routine i find that dry shampoos are really important, i find the Batiste ones are the best, i've used them for years, my favourite is the cherry one to me it has the nicest smell.

Now going on to a couple styling products that i love, i've recently started using the TRESemme perfect undone spray that give naturally waves, i really like the product it last a long time and doesn't make my hair greasy. Lastly hair sprays, i find for keeping a hair style in place all day a good hair spray is essential, i have quite long hair so i'm quite lucky that i can do a range of styles and the sprays i like for this is the L'Oreal Elnett Stain spray and the TRESemme Salon Finish.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, i'd love to know what hair products you love using? Can you recommend me any good ones?

August Favourites 2015 I Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings.

Its been a while since i did a monthly favourites, i missed June and July, but this month there have been a few next products i have been loving so i was really excited to write this post.

I hope you enjoy :)

As you guys know i have quite long hair, not as long i use to have but still long enough that i have to make an effort to keep it in as best condition as i can, for this i used hair masks, they are quick and easy and a sustainable method for me. I've had my fair few of them over the years, the latest one i've been enjoying is The Superdrug Coconut Water and Coconut Oil Masque, coconut oil is great for your hair and in a masque is brilliant making it easier for me to remember to use.

Next up is my Garnier Micellar Water, i bought a small travel size to being with as i didn't know if i was going to like this or if it would be the same as my other micellar waters and honestly it is, there's not much difference, except it doesn't sting my eyes which is brilliant like some of the others micellar water do when removing eye makeup. I am enjoying this and will buy the full size when it runs out.

Maybelline Lash Sensational is no secret to the blogging community, famous for being a dupe for the Benefit Roller Lash (which i LOVE) i think this is a great drugstore alternative, the wand is great for getting into the lashes and giving volume and length and i love the packaging, its so sleek.

Lastly, brows, i've been trying out a couple of new brow products these past few month and the I Love Makeup, Brow Kit is really good, the lightest brown is perfect for a natural look for those days when i'm keeping ti more casual and going for the 'no makeup look' 

Thats it for this month another month has gone so fast, i can't believe it is now September, how crazy is that! I'd love to know what some of your August favourites are? What products have you been loving?

April Favourites 2015 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today post is my April favourites, this year has gone so fast, soon it will be summer, yay! Apart from i still don't have the perfect bikini body, but its ok i still have my cake! Anyway now on to my favourites. I've been so busy this month with Uni, i've handed in so many essays and special assignments and done so many presentations so there hasn't been that many items/products that have been favourites compared to usual. I haven't worn as much makeup this month, but there are a couple that have been my go to items.

I hope you enjoy :)

First up is a re-discovery, the Naked Basics Palette. Its a great everyday neutral palette, i use to be obsessed with it but i kind of forgot about it as i've really been enjoying shimmery eye shadows this year. Next up is a Essie Nail Polish in 'Not just a petty face' I LOVE this nail polish (A link if you would like to see how it looks on my nails) Its the perfect colour for spring, a really pretty pale pink. The Maybelline The Eraser Eye Concealer, i mentioned this concealer in a favourites a few months back. Its great for under the eyes and its easy to blend. Lastly another Maybelline product this time its the Maybelline Liquid Liner. Liquid liner is my go to look. Its quick and easy. This one especially is good as the pen is thin so you get a thin neat line, which is great for hooded eyes!

The last item isn't a beauty product more of a beauty book. Love, Tanya This is the only Youtuber book i have bought as its more my kind of thing, compared to the Pointless book or Zoella's Girl Online (i'm sure they are great tho!) But i do really want to get Shane's 'I Hate My Selfie' and Dan and Phil's 'The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire' book. Love, Tanya is full of really beautiful images and helpful tips. Its great because i can just open it on a random page and read a section! I picked this up when i was in Scotland at Easter and i've been in love with it ever since.  

I'd love to know what are some of your April favourites?

March Favourites 2015 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today post is my March favourites, i can't believe its April already! Thats crazy, before you know it will be 2016! Actually thats a scary thought as i graduate from Uni in 2016, so lets ignore that. I haven't got too many favourites this month, a couple of these products i have mentioned before but i have continued to love them and some are new!

So i hope you enjoy :)

Most of the items this month are makeup. First up is Revlon's 'Pink in the afternoon' (LOTW: here) This is the perfect everyday pink that i have fallen in love with, i've only had it for a few weeks but its definitely one of my favourites. Next is the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, this has been my go to mascara ever since i got it (review here) it gives me length, volume and really black lashes, everything i want in a mascara! Similar to the Revlon lipstick, this product is a new one to me, its Seventeen Eyebrow Pencil, i recently ran out of the crayon end of my Soap and Glory Brow Archery but the pen side is still ok so i needed a new pencil. I heard many good things about the Seventeen brow pencil and i'm so happy i picked it up. The last makeup item is a classic favourite, my Naked 2 Palette, my favourite shade is 'suspect', which is a beautiful pale brown shade, This is by far my favourite palette i own, i use it more than my Naked 1. The shades are gorgeous and you can get so many looks from it. The last item is Batiste Dry Shampoo, i'm trying to leave my hair for as long as possible between each wash so this has been a life saver! I've always love Batiste dry shampoo and the cherry scent will always be my favourite,

I'd love to know what are your March favourites?

P.S I go on holiday today so i wont be posting for a week but i will be back!

February Favourites 2015 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today i have for you my February favourites. This time of month always comes around so quickly! There are quite a few things i have been loving this month, many things you will have already heard me rave about but a couple of new favourites too, so i hope you enjoy! 

I'll off with makeup:

The Benefit Roller Lash, i got this little sample free in my issue of Elle magazine and i have not stopped using it since! I love it, i reviewed it a couple weeks back (can read here). When this runs out i will definitely go an buy it full size. Next up is a Bourjois Lip Velvet in 'Nude-ist', this is no stranger to my blog, it is definitely my favorite lip product at the moment. The staying power of these little beauties is incredible! Good for if you are on the run and have long days! I have a feeling i will buy them all! This product is a re-discovery, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation. This foundation i haven't used in a while probably about 6 months. But i decided to try it again and its very similar to the MUA Undress Your Skin (another firm favourite) in it texture, covergae and staying power. I really like it, its light coverage and good for if you are having a good skin day. My concealer of choice at the moment is the Maybelline Anti-Age Concealer. I was quite late to the craze when i bought this and i can definitely see why people love it. I don't use it on my blemishes only under my eyes. I find it last a long time and doesn't crease too badly. Last 'makeup' item is a Carmex Lip Balm. I mentioned this is my winter essential. Lip balm is a must have for me and the one i've been really enjoying is the Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry. Its so moisturizing and smells great. 

I haven't got any skincare favourites this month i have just been using the same as the past few months. But i have been loving The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel, it smells gorgeous and leaves the whole room smelling wonderful afterwards. (And yes my monkey is wearing a shower cap...)

Food: MaltEaster Chocolate Bunnies. These are my new obsession, i'm not even kidding when i say i eat them daily, not good for my waist line but they are so addictive!

Lastly i finally got Instagram, how i've survived this long without it i don't know, but now i have it you can check it out here. (Perfect_Fixations) I'm still getting use to it (i'm a bit of a Granny when it comes to technology) but i'd love it if you could check it out. :)

I hope you enjoyed reading my favourites for this month i'd love to know what you have been loving. Let me know down in the comments!

December Favourites 2014 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today i have for you my December favourites, its strange writing about things i loved last year, i know it was only a few days ago but just the sentence itself sounds mad. But lets begin!

I'll start off with a new purchase The Body Shop Tea Tree Cleanser, recently i've been on a bit of a tee tree binge, i just love the smell so much and i'm really enjoying this. Its a foaming cleanser, i've never tried one before. Its not thick and creamy as i'm use to with my other cleansers but it does leave me face feeling clean and fresh. Palmers Coco Butter Hand Cream, hand cream, what can i say, for this season is a must have! I've already mentioned this in my winter essential (check out here) I'm really loving this hand cream its so creamy and has the most gorgeous smell and drys super fast! (I also like putting it on my feet) Next up is Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Permanent Taupe' (Review coming soon!) This pots are amazing, especially if you're in a rush. I think they are great for simple or bold look. I have especially loved this one, its a perfect colour for this season. Bourjois Push Up Mascara, i've mentioned this mascara quite a lot recently as i've run out of my favourite mascara (Max Factors 200 calorie mascara) so i have been using this one and i have to say i'm really enjoying it. Its got a small thick brush perfect for my size eyes. Its quite thick and clumpy but i quite like that, give a more dramatic look. Lastly the E.L.F Warm Bronzer. I love this quad! It has a blush, highlighter and 2 bronzers. (To see pictures check out my e.l.f haul here) The blush isn't very pigmented but i quite like that as i am very heavy handed! I find this is compact and perfect to give in your handbag for on the go. 

I'd love to know what products/items you been loving lately. Let me know down in the comments!

November Favourites | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today's post is my November Favourites. This post always comes around so fast! But there are quite a few things i've been loving this month so i hope you enjoy!

(I apologize for the picture quality, but due to the season i'm finding it harder to get good lighting for pictures!)

Starting with makeup:

The Naked Basics 2 palettes, I got this for my birthday at the start of the month and haven't stopped wearing it! I love everything that Urban Decay produces, their eyeshadows are so amazing and this palette is perfect for everyday use. You can read my review here. Next up is the Soap and Glory Brow Archery this was a recent purchase (you can read my haul here) and i love it. I can't believe i have survived this long without it. Its the perfect colour and texture for me with a crayon one side and a pen the other. Perfect for filling in those extra hairs i've over plucked! Last makeup product is Max Factor Exilir Lipstick in 'Rosewood' this lipstick i've been loving these past autumn months, it the perfect berry colour that is not too purple/bright, its perfect for everyday use. Its creamy and not drying at all. Plus is smells so good! My berry lips post you can find here.

Skincare:

My life saving skincare product this month is Superdrug's Tea Tree Exfoliating scrub. In the Winter months my combination skin goes straight to dry and this year i have found it worse than ever. One product has help get rid of some of this is this one, its not too rough on the skin, smells really nice and you see the affects immediately. I would highly recommend this product. 

Hair Care:

This month has been a super busy one for me so i haven't had a much time to wash my hair as usual, the product that has really helped me is the CoLab Dry Shampoo in 'New York'. Its perfect for leaving my hair fresh all day while giving it volume. Plus it smells great. 

Fragrance:

Last but not least, another item that smells lush (as you can tell scent is very important to me) is the  Ghost Original Perfume that i got for my birthday I love this, i'm not very good at describing smells but you'll have to take my word that its awesome. I highly recommend trying it if you are in a shop that sells it, its so nice.

Thats all for this months favourites, i hope you enjoyed it. I'd love to know have you tried any of these products? And what have you been loving this month? Let me know down in the comments!

October Favourites 2014

Hello darlings

Today i have for you my October favourites, i know what your thinking, its Friday where is your song of the day? Don't worry i have a song chosen (a pretty awesome song!) and i'll put it up tomorrow! I just wanted to get this post up now as i feel its already overdue. This month i have been loving quite a lot of things, as usual. Its a mixture of old and new, enough with this ramble lets begin!

Let start with makeup:

Only 3 makeup products this month, 2 old favourites and 1 new one.

Firstly, a new find, i recently picked up Maybelline's Matte Maker Powder. The reason i picked this up is i was looking for a new powder as my Miracle Matte from Seventeen has nearly all gone and i wanted to try something new. Also because its part of another blog post that will be coming soon!

Max Factor 200 Calorie mascara, if you've been following me for a while you'll know this is my all time favourite mascara, i love the size of the brush, the formula and the packaging. For my more detailed review you can read my post here.

Lastly Revlon Colour Stay, my favourite foundation of all time! I love it and thinks its perfect for the Winter that is already upon us, it has great coverage, it has my perfect colour match. You can read full my review here.

Skin care:

The two products i have been enjoying are:  

Tea Tree lemon Facial Wash, i love the scent of this face wash, its gorgeous! I find it really light and refreshing and is the perfect thing to wake me up in the morning. 

You all know i love my baths, especially after a long hard day at work or Uni. Its my time to relax with bubbles, cup of tea, and a good book or movie. Yes i take my laptop in the bathroom.... My bubble bath of choice at the moment is Cafe de Bain indulgent Bath Creme in Sweet Vanilla madeleine. Its so yummy and smells so so good. I really want to try the whole range!

It can't be a favorites post with out mentioning face masks. This month i have been loving the Garnier's Pure Self Heating Sauna Face Masks. I love self heating mask, some people hate them and hate they way they feel on the skin, but i love them. Afterwards my skin feels so clear and soft, i love them. 

Lastly, Pretzels! These are my snack of choice this month, i especially like the sour cream and chive flavour. They are filling and low calorie and so yummy! What more can you ask for? 

So thats all, another month gone and only 6 weeks till Christmas! Time to start the Christmas music!

I'd love to know what have you been loving this month?
