Monthly Favourites #2

2 posts in one day, bit keen! But, September was a very weird month for me, at the beginning I was still living at home and at the end I was back in Newcastle and in lectures! I love being back up here in Newcastle but things have got a bit hectic (hence the lack of posts), but here is my monthly favourites from September.

Beauty

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette

This is my go to eye palette for nights out. I love all the colours in this palette but I have a few favourites. I use Virgin or Sin for the inner corner of my eye, Naked for across the lid, Smog or Darkhorse through the crease and Creep as a liner. There's so much choice in this palette, I couldn't live without it!

2. Maybelline Baby Lips - 'Cherry Me'

(link)

I had wanted to try the Baby Lips for months and finally got my hands on one. I use this all the time, both for day and night to add a subtle hint of colour to my lips. I also love the fact they are super moisturising! I definitely want to try out some more of the range. 

3. Clinique High Impact Mascara - 'Black'

(link)

Again another go to product for nights out! I love the fact that this mascara not only lengthens but volumises my lashes giving me really big, full lashes. I am a massive fan of big lashes but can't apply fake eyelashes to save my life so any mascara that does that is a definite favourite of mine. 

4. Dior Pure Poison

(link)

Yes another night time favourite - can you tell I like/go out a bit too much at university?! Anyway, I adore this perfume. I had a mini version of it, but my Mum kindly gave me her almost full bottle of this during Summer. I love the scent of it but I couldn't tell you the notes in it!

Miscellaneous

5. Converse - 'White'
(link)
Another pair of Converse in my monthly favourites, but I love them to much to not include them! These are so comfy for walking to and from university and go with everything. I just hate getting them dirty so feel I won't get much more wear out of them this year!

6. ASOS Culottes - 'Floral Print'
(link)
These shorts were a bit of a risk for me as I tend to stick to denim shorts for nights out but I love these. They are so comfy and teamed with a black tee, I think it creates a really nice outfit. I've just bought another pair as well to add to my wardrobe!

Favourites minus my Maybelline Baby Lips because funnily enough I lost it on a night out!

What are your September favourites?

Haul | Boots & H&M

Hey guys, hope you all had a good weekend! I will hopefully have a post up later on this week about what I did this weekend so stay tuned for that.

But today I popped into town with my Mum and Sister and picked up a few bits and pieces which I thought I would show you.

Firstly I went to Boots. I always spend so much money in there, I don't think I've been in there once this year and not bought something (oops!). 

I needed to get some more body scrub so I repurchased the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - £8 (link). I love the smell of this product, it reminds me of fizzy cola bottles which are one of my favourite sweets. I find the scrub 'scrubby' enough that you feel a difference to your skin but it's not so harsh that it irritates it. 

Next up I repurchased another favourite of mine for my hair which is the VO5 Give Me Texture Dry Texturising Spray - £3.89 (link). I like using this product to give my hair a bit of boost when it's down or up, I highly recommend it. This must be at least my 5th can now! As there was an offer on VO5 styling products of buy 2 for £5 I decided to also try out the VO5 Plump It Up Dry Backcomb Spray - £3.89 (link). This is one of the few products I haven't tried from in the range so I'll let you know how I get on with it. 

Lastly, I eyed up the new Maybelline Baby Lips - £2.99 (link) at the end of the aisle. My sister and I have been looking for these for ages and have looked in several Boots stores around the country but we finally got our hands on some! I decided to try the one in 'Cherry Me' as I like the idea of a tinted lip balm. I've just applied it now and it gives a really nice red tint to the lips that feels super moisturising. I'm definitely going to pick some more of these up!

Lastly I popped into H&M and spotted this Burgundy Sleeveless Shirt - £14.99. No link unfortunately as I can't find it online, I'm pretty certain it's brand new in to stores as I've not seen it before today so you should be able to find it! I bought a similar shirt last year in white from their 'Conscious Collection' which I love to wear on nights out tucked into a skirt or shorts, so I thought this would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe as I'm back to university soon and I would think there will be quite a few nights out to come! This has got a low V neck with ruffles along the edges, with 'pearl' buttons down the front.
