September Instagram Roundup.

It's been a good while since I've done an Instagram update/roundup, I love these posts, as I get to talk about the picture a little more than I would on good old Insta.

Before we get started, you can find my Instagram HERE.

1 - Macbook. 
Possibly my favourite photo of the month purely due to the fact I finally bought myself a Macbook Pro. Id been saving for this for a little while now, I had enough money so I thought I'd bite the bullet and do it, although I had the money, it still hurt parting with it even though I knew I'd be getting myself a Macbook, I'm a very stingy person! haha.

2 - My Dog.

I visited home this week, (mums house), at the minute I'm living at my dads for a bit as he's on holiday, to find my mum had taken my dog to have a haircut, she looks so tiny when she has one, love her hah.

3 - Lipstick.

This photo is from one of my older blog posts, Red Lipstick Obsession. I really do have a red lipstick obsession, everyone seems to think they're all exactly the same, but lipstick lovers like myself will know they most definitely are not! haha.

4 - My Dads Cat.

I have a new found love for this cat, before staying at dads I hated cats, but this one cuddles up to me and Matt every night, and is generally a really silly cat haha. Matt and myself returned from work to find her sat in his bag, because.. well why not, maybe it was really comfy.

5 - Cupcakes.

Again, whilst staying at dads I made these pretty cupcakes, I never usually bake but I had a craving haha, and I'm so proud of my piping skills! :)

6 - Makeup Purchases.

Everything you can see in this box I bought in September, I can't stop buying makeup.. It's a problem..

7 - Gold Magic Perfume.

Another new found love, this smells incredible and I absolutely love it!

8 - Lush Bath.

My house was freeeeezing last month, so baths returned, and I cannot have one without a Lush product of some sort! 

8 - Jord Wood Watch.

Yep.. Still in love with this. It's beautiful. made completely from natural wood, with a rose gold face, what's not to love really?!

9 - RT's Bold Metals Brushes.

Whilst shopping in Cardiff I spotted these and wanted both, initially I decided to only buy the contour brush, but Matt was kind enough to buy the other one for me, he's too lovely to me! I'm very lucky.

10 - Cavachon Puppy.
I wish this was mine, but unfortunately not. However I'm determined to get one, they are adorable, I need one in my life!



And that would be the end of my Instagram roundup, I hope you enjoyed having a nosey through my pictures, make sure you leave your accounts in the comments, because I'm always stalking people on there and liking too many pictures aha!

A Big Drugstore, Yankee Candle & Primark Haul.

Myself and my boyfriend spent the weekend just gone in Cardiff, one of the best places to go for shopping - or so I think anyway, it's massive! I picked up a fair few things, so I thought I would share with you what I bought! I haven't included everything, because if I did, you would get incredibly bored.. I bought far too much!

 

 

Primark -  Bambi PJ Bottoms. These are so so soft, and really comfortable. I love the little quote on the leg - these are more of a thin pair of jogging bottoms than PJ's, there's also a matching top but I went with just the bottoms! I think these were around £7.

 

Primark - Fluffy Bed Socks. I wasn't going to buy these! Matt made me haha, and I'm so glad he did. I'm a sucker for anything Disney! These were £2.50
 

 

Primark - Hair Clips and Earrings. I don't think I ever go into Primark and not buy their hair clips, they're the best I've found for my stupidly thick long hair! I also picked up these earrings, the boyfriend chose these, they're rather pretty!:)
Hair Clips - £1.00, Earrings - £1.50

 

Primark - Scarf. Ive wanted a new scarf for aaaaages, I saw this one without even looking at the price at bought it straight away haha, It was only £4.00 though which is an absolute bargain!

 

Boots - Little Mix's Gold Magic Perfume. My new favourite perfume, it smells amazing! I wont try and explain what it smells like because I'm rubbish haha, but seriously it's incredibleeee! £19.95
Hollister - sneakily adding this one in haha, I've always used Hollister body sprays, this one is in the scent Lunada Bay. £11

 

Yankee Candle - Berry Trifle & Snowflake Cookie
Yankee Candles are my favourite, I've bought snowflake cookie 3 times now, however berry trifle is new for this year! I know it's not Christmas yet, but I'm so excited haha!

 

Boots - Sleek MakeUP Crème To Powder Blush in Gerbera -£5.99
Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Blackberry - £2.50
Both of these I am yet to try, expect a post of me reviewing them when I have tried them!
Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation - £7.99
Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Foundation - £7.99 **these are 2 for 10 at the moment!!**


 

So there we have it, I also bought a few pairs of jeans which I haven't included, they're your basic black and blue and not too exciting haha.

Hope you enjoyed having a little nosey into what I bought, expect a few reviews coming up soon, I'm pretty excited to try everything out!

Cleaning My Makeup Brushes

It's that time I dread, cleaning my makeup brushes.

I really, really, don't like cleaning my makeup brushes, mainly because I have far too many, but today only 3 needed cleaning, thank god! These were;

1. Real Techniques - Foundation Brush

2. Real Techniques - Expert Face Brush

3. Real Techniques - Stippling Brush

They were so dirty to begin with, as these three are the brushes I use most, I like to change up the foundation brushes I use, so I could easily use a different one every day! 

I don't really have a certain routine as such, I just use a shampoo and rub the brushes into my hand one at a time, I find if I rub the brush over my knuckles it creates more of a lather, so they become cleaner a lot faster! Which definitely gives me a lot more motivation to clean them more often. 

After they're lovely and clean, I place the brushes onto a towel and celotape them to it, then water is able to drain out of them, although there shouldn't be that much as I try to avoid getting water in the ferrel. 

And this is the end result, clean makeup brushes! :D I'd also like to add that you should definitely try using baby shampoo, it's an inexpensive alternative and works just as well as brush cleaner, if not better!

And yes, I have a towel with my name on it, I have no idea why or how, but I like it a lot! Haha.
