Best of the Magazines||June

Magazines are my best friend for the next few months. I love to read them at night, before I go to sleep to relax and unwind before a stressful next day at school. And lately, here has been some amazing issues out so I thought I would share them with and tell you about all the super cool stuff you are getting in them. Magazines always come out a month before so these are all of June's issues which is why I bought them seen as though its my birthday month! It may seem like a lot, but I will read them all several times I promise you!

Cosmopolitan- This is the subscriber cover as I get it sent to me every month, but the gorgeous Caroline Flack graces the cover and lets you know all about her life. It also comes with a L'oreal Skin Perfection Sample which is great thing as you can try before you buy! There are also some stunning hair and makeup tutorials in there perfect for the summer time!

Glamour - A magazine for all you fashion lovers it has over 800 different looks perfect for the summer time along with lots of Beauty tips for the hot weather! Inside there is a interview with Lily Allen who talks about her comeback to the music industry. Glamour are also spoiling us by having a sample of Chanel All in One healthy glow fluid! Amazing I know!

Elle - I never buy Elle magazine because it can be quite pricey at £4 per issue, but this month it was worth it as you get a sample of Benefit's Porfressional Primer and believe you me it is a bargain buy and something I have wanted to try for ages! And Amanda Seyfried is on the front, what's not to love!

Instyle - Again a magazine I don't usually buy but I bought because of the amazing freebie you get inside of it, this months Instyle magazine comes with a ful sized bottle of Nails Inc polish and there are three different shades to collect all limited edition for the world cup that starts very soon! I got the coral shade because I love that colour in summer, but there is also a nude and a pink I believe. Ooh and Nicole Kidman is on the front which is another reason why I bought it - girls crush. And a big sample of the new John Frieda Frizz Ease Stuff.

Marie Claire - Now, I didn't actually get this as it wasn't available anywhere near me, but the June issue of Marie Claire comes Elizabeth Olsen on the front who is my hair queen at the moment. And you also get a travel set from Aroma Therapy for the bargain price of the magazine!

Now if that doesn't make you want to go to your local shop then I don't know what will! Let me know if you found this helpful or even if you would like to see more!

Products I've Used Up #2

After my the amazing response to my first Products I've Used Up post. I decided to carry on collecting the products I have finished and talk about them again. 

- Tresemme Shampoo|| Love this shampoo so much, and since finishing I have bought another one that I hauled about. I hardly ever repurchase shampoos because I am really funny with them, some are great for my hair and some make my hair look awful! But this one is amazing.

- Superdrug Nail Polish Remover|| Just a simple and cheap remover that I used up! Nothing to really say..

- Oval Cosmetic Pads|| Life is so much easier if you use oval shaped cotton pads, they really help with removing all your makeup and are way easier to use than round ones.

- Primark Face Wipes|| I didn't have very high hopes for these wipes, but the two sided thing made me fall in love! These cucumber wipes come with an exfoilating side and a normal side, doing two jobs for you in one easy step.

-Batiste Dry Shampoo|| I decided to try out a small dry shampoo bottle first, before committing to a big one. And I have! Love this stuff for lazy hair days and for extra volume. 

- Natural Collection+Maybelline Colour Show Top Coat|| Both are my favourite drug store top coats, because of the price and the quality! They are amazing and I have used up every single drop.

-Natural Collection Concealer||Finally I finished this up! I love using NC products but for some reason my skin and this product don't seem to be getting along very well recently! 

- MUA BB Cream|| At first I loved this product and would really rave about it! But then suddenly I hated it, it broke me out everywhere on my cheeks (still suffering now!) and also didn't sit very well on the skin. It was however the perfect shade match for me, which is a shame. 

OOTD||A Curious Fairytale Necklace

When you're at sixth form/college I find it a challenge having to wear my own clothes, but to avoid having to spend lots of money on a great deal of clothes I just change the way I wear them..if that makes sense? So, a different pair of shoes and recently it's been jewellery and my favourite item at the moment is this gorgeous necklace* from A Curious Fairytale.

The name is the cutest and they sell some of the most adorable little pieces on their store, and all at really reasonable prices which gives you an excuse to buy more for all your outfits.

This necklace is a pretty little dainty pink daisy and it suits beautifully on anything you have in your wardrobe.  I paired it with this polka dot top from Matalan, and it looks great because the top is a scoop neck and being a long necklace and statement 'kinda gal' this was very different and stopped quite high up so it was a big change. But, for some reason I seemed to have fallen in love with it and might just be wearing this a lot more this summer!

Chroma Notebook||Review

Since starting my A-Levels I have actually become a stationery addict. I gravitate towards anything that looks pretty and cute. It takes me a while to actually use anything as I want to keep it nice and neat. But finding the perfect notebook can be difficult as you want to have something with good quality but don't want to be paying a ridiculous price for it! That's where I discovered Chroma. Which is a new established brand that has created a range of different high quality notebooks without making you spend lots of money!

 

There notebooks come wrapped up in a little parcel and do exactly what they are meant to. Be a notebook. Chroma is a brand that is all about colour, different ones that trigger different emotions and memories that you have created. There is a whole range of different colours that you can pick from, I went with 'Amy' a beautiful pink colour along with silver initials on the front. 

I have fallen in love with the colour, the design and the quality of the notebook. It came to my house super quick and I couldn't wait to start using it! You are able to pick from so many different colours you might actually struggle but when you do choose in the end you can pick what initials you want on the front, I think your name is the best option!

They retail for under £10 and delivery is also super cheap! You also have the option of having either a plain or lined notebook, I went with lined!

Lined - £6.50

April Favourites| Beauty,Accessories+Food

Another month has vanished and we are at that time again when we talk about monthly favourites! This month I have been loving mainly beauty products. 

- BarryM Gelly Spring Colours|| These have made a few appearances on my blog this month and I doubt it will be the last time you see them. The formula of these polishes are incredible with out a doubt, and so there really isn't much to say. Apart from the fact that these colours are perfect for any skin tone, they are so long lasting and great if you're going away and want something to last. 

- Revlon Matte Balms|| Ooh la la. These matte formula's from Revlon are amazing, they are super pigmented, last nearly all day on your lips and are surprisingly moisturising even though they are matte. The two shades I own and have been loving are Sultry and Elusive! 

- Kate Moss Lipsticks|| Two new additions to my collection this month, and I love them. I have heard so many people rave about the formula of Rimmel lipsticks, especially the Kate Moss ones and I just had to try them myself. Let me tell you, they are great! And smell amazing too. 

- MAC Dupe Brushes|| I did a full post on these here. These are amazing to do different eye looks with and the possibilities of using them are endless! Also great for travelling as you don't have to take millions of different eye brushes with you! If real MAC brushes are just as good as these beauties then no wonder everyone loves them. 

- Rimmel Powder|| Yes, that is right I fell for another hyped up product and this time I fell in love with it. This is the exact powder that I have been looking for and searching for. The reason I never tried it is because I didn't think it would be as good as it seems, but it is and lasts all day without making my skin look oily. 

- Garnier Micellar Water|| A new skincare staple. I love this because it does exactly what it says on the bottle unlike the L'oreal one. It cleans my makeup off straight away without the need to go back again with another cotton pad. 

- Maybelline Under eye concealer|| Something I never used to often wear is concealer under my eyes, and since having this I look back on days that I didn't really upset. This tube of magic covers all the darkness and shadow that I have under my eyes and is great to quickly do in the morning.

-MK Watch|| Of course this had to be included! I love this watch to death and now wear it every single day without fail, my arm feels odd when I don't wear it because it is something that I love. 

Primark Ring|| This uber cute flower ring was featured in my last OOTD post and I love how simple yet pretty it is. The colour is wonderful for the spring time and goes with the watch as a pair. 

Then on to food, which I fall in love with all the time and if you read my 'This Week I...' posts then you will now that over the pas month I have loved a lot of food!

My mum found some macaroons when she went food shopping and I literally screamed and jumped on her when she bought them home. I tried them last year at an afternoon tea and ever since have been searching everywhere to find them because they can be rather expensive. If you know of anywhere to buy them at a reasonable price then please let me know!

Thanks for reading! x

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover|| Review+Demo

This Magic Nail Polish Remover has been a favourite of many people for quite some time now, and I didn't really know what all the hype was about until now. This thing is amazing, and has changed the way I now remove my nail polish. You have all probably heard what it does and why it is so great, so I will just tell you briefly. Basically, all you have to do is put your finger inside the bottle, wiggle it around and then magically it takes off any polish you have on your nails! 

The sponge inside is soaked with remover, so you don't have to go through a million cotton pads when removing nail polish. I find that it doesn't work as well for glitter, even though it does help slightly with the removal. 

Here are the before and after shots! You can see that all the polish has been removed from my fingers and it took me less than five minutes in total! Amazing!
