September Favourites!

Hello everybody I am back, I know it has been a while, it’s no excuse but I have been insanely busy with school and it’s only the start of the year but even though I know I am going to be continuously busy I am going to try and post once a week because I really enjoy it and I hope you do too. Anyway on with the post.

 Even though September went by in literally 2 seconds I did have enough time to fall in love with somethings, some new things and some other things I have only recently re- discovered. I’m going to start with my beauty favourites of this month.

Beauty
·         W7 In The Buff Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette
My friend Ali actually introduced me to this eyeshadow pallet, the pallet is a perfect dupe for the second ‘Urban Decay Naked Pallet’ and at about 1/6 of the price. When the pallet arrived I instantly fell in love, it took about 1-2 weeks to come but that was completely overlooked when I saw how gorgeous the shades were and how pigmented they were. I have used this pallet on uncountable occasions throughout September and the end of August and I can barely fault the product, the shadows blend really well and last all day even without a primer. I will probably look into buying another one of the Naked dupes by W7. (It also comes with a double sided brush but I don’t use it)

·         Nina Ricci Nina Eau de Toilette for Her (80ml)
I have been looking for a new perfume since I started to run out of my old one, I wanted one that was more mature and a bit more high end. Thanks to my sister friend Georgia I discovered the Nina Ricci perfume as soon as I smelt it I literally needed to get it, it smelt very me. I’m very bad at describing smells but the description of it is “Citrus, sweet, fresh, fruity, woody, green” if that makes any sense to you. I really love this perfume it is long lasting and just smells very fresh and nice, I don’t know it smells good.

·         Superdrug own brand facemasks
Now I know what you’re probably thinking, aren’t own brand products meant to be really cheap and bad quality? But no my friend in this case you couldn’t be anymore wrong, the Superdrug own brand face masks are insanely good. Again I got introduced to these by a friend, my friend Immy gave me her ‘Superdrug Dead Sea Mud mask’ because it irritated her skin, the first time I used it I could see a difference instantly, my skin felt tighter and really clean. I then went on to order two more as they are only £2.59! If you have sensitive skin then these may not be for you but I think one of them may be suitable for sensitive skin make sure to look on the product description there is roughly 5 or 6 in the range,

·         Soap & Glory Flake Away ™ Body Scrub (300ml)
 I have had two travel size pots of ‘Soap and Glory’s ‘ flake away for a few years now and only used then every now and then, but recently I have been using them quite a lot as my skin hasn’t been in its best form. I have used the majority of both the pots and may have to invest in a large one because at only £8 I don’t even hesitate because this product is so good. The scrub exfoliates your face so nicely leaving it feeling soft and clean, also helping clear up spots as it gets rid of all the dirt in your pores. I have really been loving this recently. 

TV/ Movies
·         The Vampire Diaries
 After I finished ‘Once Upon A Time’ (which literally came back on Wednesday YAY) I wanted another Netflix series to devour a recommendation and persistent nagging from my friend Libby #PeerPressure I finally watched the pilot episode of TVD and then episode 2 then 3 then 4. Then I had finished the first season in a few days and decided I needed to reassess my life and maybe leave my room. The series follows a high school student Elena Gilbert as she copes with the loss of her parents. Vampires, witches, werewolves and ghosts that’s all I’m going to say and there is a very interesting, awkward love story chucked in there as well. I am yet to come across one boring episode of the vampire diaries.

·         The Great British Bake Off
 With the final coming on Wednesday I am distraught as you may be able to guess. Anyway TGBBO is a BBC TV series in which amateur bakers compete, each week is a different theme for example chocolate or pastry. It may sound boring but you just have to trust me on this one, it isn’t. I look forward to it every year because when i watch it it makes me forget about all the problems in the world and I'm happy. Moving swiftly on.

·         Scream Queens
 Even though I think I watched the first episode on one of the last days of September I am puting this into my favourites as I already LOVE IT. It is a comedy/ horror series about a sorority in a college in America, a serial killer is on the loose and I’m already making up my theories as to who it is, I have a feeling this is going to be me and A (PLL) again! I am not a huge horror film person but this series really isn’t scary I think out of the three episodes I’ve watched there was one jump scare I’m not even sure if there was any to be honest. 

Music
 Barely any new music has been released this month so I have been loving listening to and adding to my everyday playlists.
·         Spotify-
All day every day.
·         WILD- Troye Sivan
Troye Sivan is a youtuber/ singer whose music I continue to enjoy. He released his new EP WILD at the beginning of September and I love it, my favourite tracks are FOOLS, WILD and BITE. You should defiantly go and give it a listen it’s very different and is described as ‘Dream pop, Electropop’ the tracks are very distinct but they have conserved Troye’s sound.


Random
·         Nike Pro Tight Ladies-
I am very much in love with my Nike running leggings, I got the full length ones for PE and working out/ running (when I actually do it). I needed to buy a new pair of sports leggings because my other ones, I think they were Karrimor, were ¾ length which I wasn’t keen on and the thread was starting to come undone. I really recommend if you’re looking for a new pair of sports leggings to get these as they are sooo comfy and I don’t think they were that expensive either.

Thank you so much for reading such a long post I appreciate it massively, I hope you enjoyed my September favourites.
