Two Favourites Tuesday #5: Babbling some beauty nonsense

Happy Tuesday!! I almost ran home last night to take a photo for this post before it got dark, and I'll tell you that as much as I love Autumn I'm fed up with not being able to take decent photos because I'm rushing. Any how, on a more positive note it's Tuesday so that means another of my two favourites!

I love the autumn berry lips trend,but just too scared to try it for myself,so I use a safer alternative! When on holiday in Spain my Dad told me to pick something out and he'd buy it, so I spent ages at the Mac lipstick counter looking at all the different shades and swatching them on the back of my hand (because that's what all the beauty guru's do). I finally picked out this beautiful shade in "Kinda Sexy" and I think it's a really good shade for this time of year, as well as it being very subtle, so I've been loving wearing it recently! But i'm no beauty blogger so don't quote me on that.

Continuing on the talk of beauty (what am I getting myself into?) I've been really enjoying the Infallible 24 hour Foundation. It's a teeny weeny bit too dark for me so I mix it with a bit of moisturiser and then it's fine! I can't describe it in a professional beauty blogger style way and pretend that I know what I'm on about,because I clearly don't, but it was suggested to me, it's good, it does the job, and I like it!

Any lipsticks that you adore that you could suggest to me? I need to brave up!!

Much love,

Two Favourites Tuesday #3

Guess who's back with their two favorites on a Tuesday? Only me of course!! This past week I've been really in love with a lot of things and it wasn't hard to pick two favourites at all, in fact, it was a piece of cake!

I've been a little ickle bit obsessed with a certain game called Animal Crossing (wild world that is, not new leaf, I'm old school). A bit obsessed to the point where me and my friend Sophie will go to each others houses to visit our towns; to help weed, exchange furniture, and even play hide and seek. I'm serious. If you didn't know, Animal Crossing is a game usually played on the Nintendo ds/dsi/3ds etc. of which you live in your own town full of little animal critters who live in their own cute little houses. There isn't really an "aim" to this game. You can go fishing, catch bugs, dig up fossils, grow your own garden, decorate and upgrade your house (with the hassle of mortgages) and so much more! I used to play it so often when I was younger, on both my DS and my Wii, and recently discovered it in my sisters room. Lets just say, I'm in love again, and I have no shame. None. Zero.

Secondly, a favourite of mine for the past 7 days has been wearing little to no makeup. My face had been feeling really dry and icky recently, and I didn't particularly think that shoving a tonne of makeup on my skin would make matters any better. So I slathered myself in moisturiser, brushed through my eyebrows, and dared to go bare. At first I felt a bit cautious, walking up and down the school corridors feeling like I might scare someone to death, but then it started to feel really good! I had an extra twenty minutes in the morning to do whatever I would like, and no one was judgmental at all! (at least not to my face). I've started wearing makeup again now, but not as much, just a little mascara and concealer, to help me through the day. Saying that I'll probably end up with a full face of makeup tomorrow. Nah.

Two Favourites Tuesday #2

Hello again my friends! It's Tuesday again, meaning that it's time to share two things I've been loving this past week!

My first favourite is this Aveeno "moisturising creamy oil". Wants to cold weather reaches my skin, my face goes on red alert (literally), leaving me with horribly dry, flaky skin. So last week when this exactly happened and I was scared to even leave the house, I noticed that ran out of my usual Aveeno moisturiser, so while I was a sobbing mess, thinking that I looked like Frankenstein's monster, mum picked this gem up. I urge you to feel my face right now, its so so soft, and not greasy at all, your skin just absorbs it all up and lets you reap the benefits. If you suffer with dry, flaky skin now it's getting colder, I really recommend this cream, it was my lifesaver.

My next favourite is a band that I've been listening to for a few months now and have come to adore. They're called Cattle & Cane,  a pop/folk/acoustic group made up of 4 siblings and their friend. (as you can tell I'm too great at describing musical shenanigans). Anyway, there music is so calming, relaxing, and really puts me in an autumnal mood. I usually listen to them when I'm sat scrolling through social media, catching up on blogs, and while I'm trying to sleep. Make sure to stay tuned for my next post if you care for all things music, as I'll be sharing my Autumn play list!

2 Favourites Tuesday #1

Everybody loves a good monthly favourites. Being able to poke your nose into other peoples business, seeing what people loved, as well as being flooded with cravings to spend. Instead of following the crowd and doing a monthly favourites, I decided to share with you two things I've loved from my week, whether that be a beauty product, clothing item, memory or even a bag of sweets that I bought down the co-op. Hopefully this will help for you to get to know me better and for my opinions to be as fresh a possible!
So welcome to "2 Favourites Tuesday"!

1. My first favourite has to be my Naked palette. I bought this in May, and I realise that I'm a bit late on the bandwagon, but I only ever used to shy away and play it safe. I mostly ever used the two matte tones, Sin, and Side Car. However recently in the past week I've started to up my game and exploring a bit more, braving the golden colours now that it's Autumn and that's what all the beauty guru's are doing so I've got to trust them right? I feel they really complement my eyes and I'm ready to step away from the boringness.

2. My second favourite has been liquid eyeliner. The one I use is from Avon, and it's not the greatest, but it's not exactly the product I'm in love with, but it's the way that a winged liquid eyeliner can transform your face and make it look ten times better. Just me? I don't know, but I've been using it a lot more recently and I love it! Although, I would really appreciate some recommendations on the best liquid eyeliners because my current one is slowly dying on me. Help!
