Things that were adored in the month of January (and a bit of February!)

Favourites time! Though I am extremely late I thought why not join January and "at the moment" favourites together?  

Beauty: I don't know about you, but when I go to work I like to have a fresh face that not only wakes me up but gives me that wee little amount of confidence. In January and continuing this month I have been adoring Maybelline's Rocket Volume in Blackest Black - um, amazing eyelashes anyone? This stuff is "da bomb", sufficed to say. It hardly clumps and gives the longest, thickest and blackest eyelashes ever. Love. MUA's PowerPout in "Crazy in Love" has been my only go-to lip product of the months. Holy Moly, this is my holy grail lip product - super moisterizing, beautiful color, minty scent and a fun crayon design. In the wise words of Sheldon Cooper: Bazinga! Milani's Baked Blush in "Luminoso" has also made it's way to my everyday work face regime. You can read my full review here. Maybelline's Baby Lips in "Cherry Me" has been my lipbalm of choice and why shouldn't it? Super mositerizing and a tint of color, it's worth spending a few pennies for. And lastly a make up brush I found in a drugstore, no name but an amazing find. It's an angled, flat top brush which picks up a hell lot of product and blends really well. Yay.

Hair: My hair was a bit boring and lousy for a while, mainly because I have stopped using so mnay hair products, I thought my hair needed a well-deserved breather. But then it got dry and I wasn't loving it, so I decided to pick up the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum (sheesh what a mouthful) and boy, am I loving it. For starters, it smells heavenly and to top it off it works like a dream. 

Reads: I haven't been able to actually sit and read in a while, call it procrastination or just life, but reading a book becomes one of the hardest task to accomplish once you start working, as soon as my head meets my pillow I just cannot stay awake to read for the life of me. I'm a terrible person. But, nevertheless, I have been on the pursuit to finish The Hobbit. I'm halfway through and can I just say - Thorin I want to hug you. The movies are spectacular. I have now joined the LOTR fandom - I should probably add that to my resume, right?

TV Shows: I have to thank my brother for this one. I'm hooked so bad I can't help it. TV shows are a plague but the best plague ever. For the past two weeks I have been in love (and I mean in love) with Suits. 

My genre in TV shows is all over the place. For crying out loud I watch a Time Lord travelling the ends of the universe in a blue police box and a super hot socio path detective - what I mean to say, I have a pure love for TV shows. 

Suits is just one of those shows that reels you in every second. And the fact that it has Gabriel Macht who play's a serious yet adorable bigshot, badass lawyer may be the sole reason I love it. Kinda. This show has it all. Drama, romance and hot men.  Yes freaking please. Go on watch it, I dare you! (PS. #harveyandscotty EEP!)

Music: One Direction's Midnight Memories blew me away. They sound much more mature and the lyrics aren't all bubblegum pop, which is great. I've also be listening to Bastille - love Pompeii. Other than that Ed's I See Fire has been on repeat every single day. 

You can listen to all of these songs and other's here. 

What shows have you been loving lately? Let me know!  

2014; Beauty Wishlist

2013 was more of a bust than a win, but I'm hoping for a better 2014 - in the shopping area of life- to be better now that I have a job. So here is my wishlist for 2014; beauty related. 

1. The Body Shop's Honeymania Eau de Toilette

                                               

I bought the Honeymania Body Butter a month back and am nearly out, but what can I do? The Body Butters are super moisturising and smell, like, heaven. Anyway, I loved the scent of the Honeymania Body Butter- it does not have a strong scent of honey at all, rather a floral scent with a slight honey undertone. This bottle of yellow yummy-ness is a must!

2. Milani Baked Blush - 03 Berry Amore

                                     

Unlike the US, Milani is expensive here. I've been wanting the perfect blush/bronzer duo for a while now and this baby seems like want I've been waiting for. It's has a soft shimmer to it along with light golden undertones. Yum. However, with such a hefty price tag, I have a feeling this may be on my wishlist for a while...

3. Lusciuos Ultimate Face Case 5PC Makeup Brush Set

                                   

Aside from the 80's sliver quilt pattern, this brush set is worth the price tag. My want for a stippling brush has taken it's toll and the fact that this set has other brushes along with it pretty good. Hopefully, I'll be getting my hands on this soon.

4. Revlon Nail Enamel in Minted, Gold Coin and Vixen

Say whaaaat?! Just a couple of Revlon nail polishes, right? No. Just like Milani, Revlon is damn expensive here as well. I've been eyeing these three shades for a while now. I mean, look at them! LOOK AT THEM!!!!!

5. OPI Out Ragerous Neon Mini Set

                                  

Who doesn't love neon nails? I've been wanting to try them out for a while and this amazing set not only give's you five neon polishes but a top coat for free!!! (Well, not free but you know what I mean...)

6. Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Thingys

                                 

*Siiiighhhhh* Me wants...but obviously can't get. However, to subdued my feels towards these lippy's, I've bought the MUA Power Pouts. Let's see if their good enough or I'll want the real deal in the end. 

In the words of a Veruca Salt
