May Favourites:

I know very well that both loads of other people and myself say every month "wow this month has gone past by so quickly" But again I really mean it.

I feel as though this month I've both tried a lot of things. And bought a lot and I guess it's time to tell you my favourites. So here we go =]

I went into Primark and at the till I found this. I love the colour and I think it's a good colour for a neon blue as I haven't seen many neon blues around.
Angelica nail colour -Ibiza summer-  £2.50

from the brand MUA (exclusive to superdrug) I picked up this glitter liquid eye liner. I have been loving it as it dries quite quickly so you don't get glitter all over your eye but it doesn't flake of to look yucky. This gives a nice amount of glitter. It has a nice wand that is flexible and bends to your eye? and I've really been liking it.

Don't judge me I did buy this in Poundland but who cares. It's in date and I haven't seen it in any shop. I love this mascara and feel sad that I don't know where to buy it again. Most mascaras that say 'volume' clump all your lashes together and just look awful but this seems to make my lashes look longer and just more full and i think it makes my face look happier. I dunno it just does.


I have loved this glitter top coat it gives a nice amount of glitter that lets the underneath colour show through.
Miss Sporty Sparkle touch -Glitter ball (I think) -  £2.99


And in TV I have really been loving the apprentice... I have to confess that the apprentice is defiantly one of my favourite shows on TV even though I know a lot of people don't like it. Not only has the new series started but I've been loving watching old episodes too (ones that at the time they were on I was too young).
I love seeing how its changed and how people have changed.

QOTD: What products have you been loving? Have you tried any of these? What do you think about them?

Yes to carrots: super rich body butter

I was given a mini sample set of 'yes to carrot' products for Christmas and I have been loving them... I have done a review on the lip balm so you can go and check that out. But now for the moisturiser. dun dun dun.

Before we even begin I have to say I LOVE this and I think it is soooooo lovely that I have already ordered another one (full size). You are meant to put it all over your body but I just put it on my face.


This is mostly used up now I just thought i would show you how much I have left
I don't use this every day, I tend to use it every now and then before I go to bed (on the days when my skin feels sad). I always use it after the shower and when I wake up the next morning my face feels so soft and just lovely. This soaks in really well and it smells amazing. In fact my mum came into my room after I had used it and asked 'what that lovely smell was' and I just love how soft it makes my skin and hydrated my face feels. Also I feel as though when my face feels this soft I feel more awake and ready to go.

You only need a bit. A bit here and there goes a long way. My sampler is 50ml and it has lasted me for about 6 months and a full size is £10-13 and 250ml so about 5 times the size. Yay
*I would definitely suggest for you all to go and buy it so go now. =] *

QOTD: Have you tried it? Will you? What is your favourite face cream?

April Favourites

Wow the time has come again for me to do my may favourites. I possibly won't do one of these every month on account of not using that many different things every month but I hope you enjoy.

First I have been loving the 'Garnier skin natural pure Active 3 in 1 face scrub' wow that was a long name. You simply wet your face and hands. Squeeze a little out and scrub all over your face. I like to leave it about 4-5 minutes while it gets harder and then wash off. I have found that this has really helped to control any breakouts and it makes my face feel so soft afterwards as it scrubs all the dead skin off.


This month I have also been loving the 'Garnier Essentials hydrating day care face moisturiser' I really enjoy this after I scribed and washed my face or after a shower. I love to hydrate my face and keep it all smooth. Now although it does soak in pretty quickly I like to use this at night time as it leaves my face quite shiney until it does soak in. This is great and I think I payed £2 for it in a sale but the normal price is only about £5. I this this is really good and it glides on so smoothly and leaves my face feeling refreshed and ready to relax and go to bed.

sorry my camera hates photo graphing green things. sorry 

I have been loving the body shop lip balm in passion berry and think I may review it in full another time. But one of the reasons I love it so much is the smell. (comment down below if yo have smelled it)


I have also been loving Instagram as I have been doing the #aprilchallange so you post a picture everyday of the thing it tells you to here's a picture if you would like to check mine out you can @Alice_leonard1 I have been loving that you can keep up with people whoever they are and see what they are up to. I also like it as I love taking photos and I feel that this is a great way to do so. And to share them with anyone who wants to look. (as my iPod is never very far away)


Last one I promise. Tv show I have been loving is broad church although its finished for now (coming soon though apparently) I watched the very first episode and I needed to find out the killer. I have been hooked and although at the end got a little angry at how slow it seemed. But after the final episode I looked back and thought it was pretty good. 

So that's it for this month I hope you enjoyed it feel free to follow me on Instagram and follow my blog I would love it thanks for reading. xxx Alice 

QOTD: Did you watch broadchurch? did you like it/the ending? could you think of a better one?comment below xxx

Haul: Turquoise necklace (dun, dun, dunnnnnnn)

Hi, so it's not often I go into a shop and literally swoon over something, and certainly not to the point where I can NOT put it down. But as you've probably guessed today I did. And it was all over a necklace:
***WARNING THE NECKLACE YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS MAGICAL***

                                     
Ok I think that's enough pictures, but do you see the way it looks like shell inside.
I've told you already my favourite colour is turquoise and this necklace is my new baby. 
You can buy this in H&M but it took me lots of justification to buy this as it was £14.99 I know (expensive) but this is the most expensive piece of jewellery I have ever bought so I better wear it all the time but guess what 
***You will only ever regret the things you don't do***

March Favourites


Hello, it’s that time of month it’s the beginning of April and I’m going to do my first monthly favourites so here we go:
Throughout March I have loving several things and I am just desperate to share them with you…
  •     Hair bows – I love these, and to be honest with my crazy hair they really help. I’m able to have it out but control it at the same time. These are great because you can just pick up the front part of your hair and scoop it back and clip it up, it literally takes me seconds and looks really fun.I have loads of these in various colours. The white lace one I got from Claire’s in a sale for £2 and the red/purple/blue/black coloured one I made myself from a piece of material and it’s one of my favourite.                             
  •     Mini eggs – who doesn't love a bit of chocolate? And for me I’d be happy eating no other chocolate but these. It’s a shame they only do them at Easter (even if easer apparently starts in January). These yummy egg shaped chocolates are amazing and I would happily eat them all yummy.

  •     Revlon nail polish in 990 – One perfect coral- I love this colour and I’m so glad I found it. I picked this up in a charity shop although it was brand new (you know when you can just tell) anyway it was only £1 which is even better. It’s a neon coral colour which is great for summer/ spring and I’m really looking forward to wearing this.
  •      Natural collection eye liner – I use the black colour and sometimes the brown and I really enjoy this product. It’s really cheap, I think it’s about £1.99, but it’s great and it lasts a really long time. It’s a creamy formula which is good as the last thing you want is something pulling on your eye. I would defiantly recommend this to you so go check it out for yourself.

So I think that’s it for this month. I won’t bore you to death, but I will defiantly be back next month to share some more products with you.
