February Favourites.

TV:
Gossip Girl= A new month a new netflix love. I was always out of sink with what was hip on TV, I LOVED GOSSIP GIRL THOUGH! I was so happy with the ending and it just gave me all of the feels.

Make Up:
NAKED basics palette= I am always behind on the bandwagon with everything, and now I can understand what everybody loves about these palettes. The colours are beautiful and are so pigmented which means that they last all day.

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer= This has been my favourite concealer for the longest time, It has great coverage and can easily double as a highlighter. win.win.

Random:
iPod= I have always just used my phone to be able to listen to music, however since there have been many podcasts that I LOVE to listen to. I also find that it can be so much more productive to use this at college because when using my phone it can be easy to get distracted with everything else on there, However with the iPod it is a lot simpler and no way of getting distracted.

Beauty:
The Body Shop Olive Body Butter= I have tried pretty much every single body butter that the body shop have at the moment, and this is by far my favourite body butter of all. It smells incredible, is really mositurizing and you only need a small amount meaning that it lasts forever.

Music;
Grace Unplugged Soundtrack= This is also the fault of netflix, I loved the movie and the message behind it, I would highly recommend it to anybody. The film is based around a modern adaptation of the prodigal son (daughter). The soundtrack that comes with the movie is amazing and fits so perfectly with the movie. I will leave a link to my favourite song 'All I've ever needed' below:

REVIEW: Yes to wipes.

Normally I was the oh I will just use a baby wipe to get my make up off at the end of the day, that was until I was introduced to these wipes.

They are really cleansing and soft on the skin and they make it really easy for me to be able to get my make up off. Even the stubborn bits that normally take forever to come off.

 All of the different flavour variants smell incredible but my favourite ones have to be the Cucumber and Blueberries.

The other flavours are; Tomatoes, Grapefruit and Carrot.

These wipes can be slightly more expensive than normal wipes but honestly they are still afforable for most people and the money that you have to spend is totally worth it!


This is the link to their stuff on feel unique ( http://www.feelunique.com/brands/yes-to ), they also do cleansers, moisturisers, cc creams, treatments, shampoo, conditioner and many other products that you should definitely check out. 

Until next time,
