August Favorites

A very very late August Favourites. Better late than never...right? I think this one is one of my favourite 'Favourites' posts as sometimes it's difficult to find new things I have used or discovered but this time it was really easy and I just love each and every one of these items.

I know Coconut Oil isn't a new discovery but I have been loving the effects that it's been having on my hair, I recently got shouted at by my hairdresser for how dry my hair was and after a trim and a small amount of the oil my hair is in much better shape. I just got this one from Superdrug which was £2.49. I like to leave it in overnight when my hair is greasy and wash it out in the morning, I smell like a human bounty when I have it in but it is definitely worth it.

I just got a cheap beauty blender to try from Boots to see if I liked it but I have also seen them in Primark if you are just wanting to try them out. Considering it was really inexpensive my make up goes on so much smoother and more even. I used to have really blotchy make up and by the end of the day my foundation would just be coming off, these sponges definitely make it last longer. I think I may invest in one now I know I love them.

I know I have recently put Elegant Touch nails in one of my favourites but how adorable are these Nails in the Rosie Bea range. I have been wearing them non stop, I like having pretty nails and these are a low maintenance way of achieving that. Completely obsessed with this range (not that I have purchased them all...oops) my favourites are the nude and copper nails as well as the molten nails I am currently wearing while typing this.

The falsies push up drama mascara by Maybelline is so good, my lashes have been looking so much longer than they usually do and it wasn't even that expensive. It is my new go to mascara, love it.

As a massive Sushi lover I just had to get this jumper, perfect for cosy dress down days. This was £7.99 from H&M.

As autumn is well and truly on it's way, I thought getting an autumnal lipstick would be very apt. I went for this (very dirty) Nyx matte lipstick in the shade Aria. I really like it, it is a little different to any other shade I have which is a nice change.

It was mine and my boyfriends anniversary last month (August) and he got me this beautiful bracelet as a gift. I was introduced to Annie Haak by my cousin and am forever looking on the website at all of the beautiful jewellery and now I own one.  

So this is a bit of an odd one but last month I ate quite a lot of cornflakes, it was my go to cereal and I just didn't get bored of it. I rediscovered my love for them and I didn't always eat them in the morning either. 

Making My Own Jewelery

I have a necklace that I was bought and it is a delicate silver piece with charms on, it has a sun and a moon with stars and a bead that is my birthstone colour given to me by my boyfriend. He calls me his 'Sun Moon and Stars' which I know may make some of you want to puke in a bucket but that was the reason for the necklace which I thought was really personal and unique. Inspired by this necklace I thought I would have a go at making my own jewellery as I would quite like some more pieces similar with the same personal touch.

 I got the charms, necklace chains and rings from eBay and the fabric was what I already had as spare bits. I really enjoyed making these and I got quite creative especially with the rings and what I put in them. For a personal touch you could put a photograph in there or I think I may try putting some dried flowers in there to see what they look like.

Sister Act The Musical - Reveiw

Last week I went to watch Sister Act the Musical with my cousin and a friend. I bought the tickets ages ago so it was a nice surprise when it came around. We went into Manchester early to go round the shops and get some tea before the show. 

I have always loved the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, the songs always put me in a good mood and I just like the character of Deloris that Whoopi played.

The musical followed the same story however all of the songs were original and didn't feature in the film but they were just as catchy. The cast were amazing and Alexander Burke did such a great job playing Deloris Van Cartier, her voice just gives me goosebumps. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and would completely recommend it. One of the highlights was the sparkly habits they wear towards the end, I loved those. The show also captured the same characters and personalities that were in the film like that of Sister Mary Robert and Sister Mary Patrick. A character that wasn't in the film but who I fell in love with was 'sweaty Eddie', I don't want to ruin anything you just need to go see it. Craig Revel Horwood did a really good job of directing the show and having his voice at the beginning was a nice touch.
