This is how I store my cotton buds and cotton pads and this is my nail polish remover and file.

Thanks for reading I know it's been quite a long post.

This post is in no right bragging all of these polishes have either been gifts or I have bought them myself

Random monthly favourites June

I made it to day 5 wooo!

As I was brain storming for ideas of blog posts to do this month I thought that this would be right up my street, I haven't done a random monthly favourites before so here we go. I have selected a few things that I have been loving this month, from fashion bits, to food and drink, Apps, and hobbies.

My first favourite I have to admit does look very random but, I have been getting quite a lot into making bracelets (friendship) this month and I saw box of cotton and had to buy it, As you may know already I am a sucker for bright colour especially in the summer. Below are some of the bracelets I have made this month.

 I have generally loved layering bracelets I do every summer, you may wonder why just summer. In other months I find myself wearing more and more layers, when you are wearing layers I find it impossible to not get irritated by my bracelets so I don't wear them, more in the winter to be honest.

Yellow bracelet - handmade

Multicoloured bracelet - handmade

Watch - Antique from grandma

Grey bracelet - Pandora wrap leather bracelet

 Rings - I have been wearing these rights constantly this month, I picked them up when I was in London at the beginning of the month and have rarely took them off. I am obsessed.
Spiral copper style ring, multi metal ring and Turkish eye ring are all from all stall on Camden Market for 69p each I know BARGIN!! other silver heart ring is my mums.

You may all think that this is a very weird one, but when I make notes for blog posts I have been using these bright Crayola supertips I love them they are so bright. They just make my life that little bit more exciting.

These probably don't even count to be in my monthly favourites because I haven't even had them two weeks but they are just that delicious that they definitely deserve a spot. I am not going to say too much because I am going to do a review on these but I have been drinking a lot of herbal tea recently as I have been trying not to drink as much caffeine. These are a great alternative to tea and coffee, they taste amazing!

These little beauty's came back into my life didn't they, I used to love these when I was younger. When I was in high school i used to sneak of to the sweet shop sometimes and I used to get these! I love them that is all that there is to say. B E A U T I F U L said just the way Bruce Almighty said.

I have had this top for about a year, my sister gave it to me. It has just been sat in my wardrobe, as I totally forgot I had it. I have been wearing it this month only a few times because in England we don't always get great weather. But every time I have wore it I have loved it. I do normally wear it with a bandeau top as it does cut quite low at the front and under the armpits. I love the bright colour I may do a outfit of the day with this piece very soon.

I have been loooooving these shoes this June, I picked these shoes up last summer when I was living in London. They are from Forever 21 and I love them, they are so easy to wear. They look perfect with anything and you can basically wear them in every weather apart from rain or snow unless you want wet feet. I just think that they can make any outfit look very different.

 

 These are another pair of shoes I have been wearing to death this June, I picked these up in Primark about 6-7 months ago. They were £3 in the sale and I immediately fell in love with them. I had to have them. They are so comfy, but also super girlie. I just adore them.

Iphone Apps of the month 

 Gratitude 365 - Free

Wunderlist - Free

Bloglovin' - Free

Instagram - Free

Snap Chat - Free

 Instagram
Who doesn't love instagram its such an easy way to share photos, I love it enjoy it simply because of the ideas you can get from other people. 
Wunderlist
I love this app it allows you to make lists on the go, I know you can make lists on notes or something. But this app keeps them all organised and makes it easy for you to see what you have to get done that day.
Gratitude 365
This app is a wonderful idea, this is the free version I have but you can get one that will be unlimited usage. Which I may invest in I believe that it is only something like 69p. Basically every day you would write something good that happened during the day. I think that this is a brilliant way of docummenting what you have done and also helping you feel good about a day.
SnapChat
I think snapchat is hilarious basically if you haven't heard of snapchat, firstly where have you been for the last two months and secondly you need to download it. You can basically send a picture or a video to anyone and they only have up to 10 sends to view it. Then the picture disappears FOREVER. Sending funny faces and all sorts is very funny.
Bloglovin'
This is in here as I have recently got it because of google reader retiring. Its an easy was to read other blogs whilst on the go.

Thank you for reading, comment below your random favourite from June or link me to your Blog.

June Favourites '13

I can't believe it the beginning of July already, This year has gone so quickly it actually blows my mind.

These are the products I have chosen this month

 Maybelline New York - The Falsies - Have always loved this mascara, but I have been neglecting it. I keep forgetting I have it. I test other products out and forget I have this. This mascara is extremely cheap and its so easily assessable online or in your local high street store. I have it in black, it is also the Flared edition although I do prefer the 'lace one' I think its lace. This product is a all time favourite but this month I have rediscovered it.

Product  - Sleek blush (shade pixie pink 936)
I am in love with this blush for the summer time it gives your cheeks an amazing pink tinge without them being crazily over the top. The colour from pan to cheek is brilliant and the pigmentation is brilliant for a cheap high street brand. I am definitely going to continue using this blush through out the summer months as Its currently my staple blush in my stash.

Figs & Rouge - Multi-tasking Lip balm, I recieved this product in a recent glossy box. It is a slightly tinted lip balm made from 100% pure and natural ingredients. I love this it is so easy to use and a great handbag essential, it is claimed that you can use this product in many ways, eye shadow base, use to tame unruly brow and also as lip balm. This product ticks all the right boxes. Its hydrating, easy to use, it looks lovely on and its got a beautiful fragrance. Swatches at bottom of post. Shade - Cherry Blossom

Rodial - Brazilian Tan, I have never really fake tanned before as I'm always petrified of it going streaky and looking like an idiot. But when I got this in June's Elle magazine I thought I would give it a whirl. I am so glad that I tried it as I now love it. I've only used it on my legs to begin with as I'm still slightly scared about my arms going totally orange and then not being about to get them out for days. But I loved it on my legs, it didn't make me look super tanned it just gave me enough to feel confident about getting my legs out. If you wanted to be a little darker you may want to get this product but in shade medium as light it really light. Over all for a free bee out of a magazine I think I did pretty well. I will definitely be buying the full size of this product.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation - I can't go on enough about how much I love this foundation.

+ Its cheap

+ Brilliant coverage

+Smells AMAZING

+Easy to get hold of instores and online

+ Perfect for summer as the coverage is quite natural

All round this is a brilliant foundation, its amazing for a chilled day in the sunshine or even to wear on a days shopping, trip to the beach. I also like this foundation as it doesn't feel so heavy on the skin which is perfect when you wear it on a hot day.

Shade - 103 true ivory

 In addition the concealer is in my monthly favourites as well for the same reasons it gives great coverage to under eye circles without washing you out. It illuminates under your eyes allowing you to look more awake. Overall I just love these two products paired with one and other.

Shade of concealer 020 true ivory

Goody Classics - Elastics (clear) - I know you may think that these are incredibly random but I have been loving these this month, I use them the most when I putting a fishtail braid in my hair as it holds everything in place perfectly without looking really obvious. To be totally honest there is not much more I can say about these other than. If you are going to wear braids especially fish tail braids a lot definitely use these are they make the braid look so much better.

Mini Boots Haul

This weekend I picked up a few bits from Boots.

I needed to buy some shampoo and conditioner so I popped in but when do you ever buy just what you need...well for me hardly ever.

I have seen these advertised and thought I would give them a whirl they are the Bee strong range from Herbal essences, I was only going to buy the shampoo and conditioner but I have tried the strengthening mask before and liked it so I thought that I would try them all together and see how they work.

Shampoo

Conditioner

Strengthening mask

 Schwarzkopf, Got 2 Be - Beach matt salt spray. Basically whilst I was in Boots I thought I would look to see if they sold the brand Fudge, as I wanted to get a sea salt spray from the brand they didn't have it. Anyway I have a brilliant hairspray by Got 2 Be so thought Id get this.

 Shades left to right

Greenberry, Pomegranate and Watermelon

I have bought the Barry M Gelly Hi Shines before, but I saw these shades and had to buy them. Plus they were on 3 for 2 so obviously had to get 3.

I cant remember the prices of all of these but I remember that all hair care products were buy one get of half price or maybe free I can't remember.

thanks for reading
