January Favorties

There are sooo many new things that I've been loving this January that it

was almost impossible to choose. Somehow I managed to stick to only five

products and I have used them almost everyday this month.

The Naked 2 Palette

Let me tell yah, after I got this palette I've used almost

nothing else on my eyes. The colors are so beautiful and they

all go so well together. They are also beautifully pigmented and

if you are wearing a good eye primer, your eyeshadow will stay on

all day or all night.

Naked Flushed in Strip

It didn't take a long time for me to buy the Naked flushed after I got

the Naked 2 palette. It's a great palette containing a bronzer, highlighter 

and blush. The colors are beautiful and pigmented, plus it's really handy

when you are travelling or on the go and you can just take the palette instead

of taking a bunch of products. The only thing I don't like about the palette is

that I think that the highlighter could be better. It's good but not good enough for

urban decay and I think the Mary-Lou Manizer by the balm is so much better.

Benefit they're Real Mascara

I only have the miniature version of this mascara but

oh my god! This is way far the best mascara I've ever

tried. I can't believe I waited this long to try it. It makes your

lashes look so  long and thick and my own mother asked 

me if I was wearing fake eyelashes when I was wearing this mascara!

If that doesn't convince you to try this mascara, I don't know what will.

The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Night Cream

This moisturizer is really good if you have dry

skin. My skin has been really dry lately so I've also

been using this in the mornings before I do my makeup.

It's also really good for sensitive skin and it smells nicely.

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil

After Amelia Liana featured this cleansing oil in her 2014

favorites video, I had to have it. It removes all of your makeup so easily 

and it even works on waterproof makeup. It leaves your skin really

soft and moisturized. If you are looking for a good makeup remover, you'll

have to try this one.

Thanks for reading

May Favorites

Heeellooooo June!

Oh how I've missed you.

Before we get all excited about June, 

I want to show you guys my May Favorites.

So here they are!

Beyoncé Heat The Mrs.Carter Show World Tour Perfume

Queen Bee has done it again!

She has made yet another perfume but this is

not the newest one. I love her perfumes but I have never

owned one until this May when I got it for my birthday.

It smells soooo good. It's fresh, light and reminds me of summer

on the beach.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

It's no secret that this is my favorite concealer

ever. You have probably seen this concealer before in

my other posts. I was looking for a concealer 

that didn't look cakey on my dry skin but could still conceal my

very dark circles and I found this one. Not only is it really, really good

but it's also cheap! You should definitely try this one if you are looking

for a good, cheap concealer.

17 Blusher in China Pink

I've had this blush for a while but it's still

available at boots (the packaging is a bit different though).

 It's such a beautiful color and

it's perfect for a natural summer makeup look. 

HD Nailpolish in Sweet Cosmopolitan

I have been wearing this color a lot this May

(I'm even wearing it right now as I'm typing this post)

It's a beautiful bright peachy shade, perfect for summer.

Necklace from SIX

I got this necklace for my birthday and it's so

pretty. It goes with so many outfits and I love the mixture of

mint and gold. You should definitely check out the jewelry in 

SIX if you have a store near you, the jewelry is so pretty!

April Favorites

Finally! May is here, my favorite month because

A - May is my birthday month,

B - It's finally getting a little bit warmer outside,

C - It's almost summer!

So here are my favorites for this month.

Nivea Tinted Moisturizing Day Care

I have used this moisturizer a lot this month,

mostly on weekends when I want to lay off the makeup

a bit and keep things natural. You might be wondering

why I'm using a tinted moisturizer instead of BB or CC cream

and the reason is simple, I just needed something a bit more

moisturizing than a BB or CC cream. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I'm pretty sure this is not the first time I have

included the Batiste Dry Shampoo in my favorites

but since I cut my hair short I have been using it

a lot to add volume to my hair.

Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray

I have owned this sea salt spray for a while

but I didn't really use it. When I cut my hair I started

using it again and I really liked it. I spray it in my hair

in the mornings and it gives my hair soft waves, which 

I really like.

H&M Lip Pen

I have used this lip pen so much this month!

It reminds me of summer and the color

is just beautiful. It's a buttery texture so it won't leave

your lips dry. It's not quite a lipgloss but it's not a lipstick 

either, it's somewhere in the middle and I have a feeling

I will be using this lip pen a lot this summer.

The Body Shop Shea Beautifying Oil

If you haven't tried this oil from the body shop

you are missing out on a lot, let me tell yah!

I was watching Essie Button on youtube and she 

was saying how much she loved this oil so 

I decided to give it a go. I'm really glad I did 

because it's amazing. There are like four or five 

smells you can choose from but I chose the Shea one, it

smells so good and luxurious. It says on the bottle that you 

can use the oil on your body, face and hair. I use it instead of

a body lotion. It leaves your skin soooo soft and you don't have to 

wait until it sinks into your skin. It's just so much better than body butters!

You have to give this one a go.

March Favorites

I am sooo late with this post! I've been meaning to do this post for days.

 You know how it is when you have to do something but you never give yourself 

time to do it, if you know what I mean haha. Anyways here are my March favorites.

John Frieda sheer blonde shampoo & conditioner

This has been my go to shampoo and conditioner this month. It leaves your hair so soft and smelling so good. I don't recommend using it if you have dark hair though, your hair might turn a bit orange. I love that the shampoo and conditioner don't leave my hair frizzy or heavy. If you haven't tried any of the John Frieda

hair products, you are missing a lot.

Nip+Fab Glucolic Scrub Fix

I needed a good face scrub for mah face and I was so impressed by my Nip+Fab body butter that I though that I would give this one a try. I am really glad I did because it is such a good face scrub. First of all it smells ah-mazing, like candy. It leaves your face so refreshing and smooth and you really feel like you are getting all the dirt out of your face. I don't recommend using it every day, it might not be good for your skin.

RealTechniques Blush Brus

I've had this one for a while now but lately I've been loving wearing blushes and this is my absolute favorite brush to use. The blush applies so nicely, evenly and it looks so natural.

NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

I think I have never mentioned this brow powder before, which is weird because I use it EVERYDAY! It is so amazing, it has two shades of brown and a gel but I never use the gel because luckily, I feel I don't have to because my eyebrows pretty much stay the same all day long. I feel my eyebrows look really natural if I use both shades, so I like to mix them together and it looks really great.

These are my March favorites!

February Favorites

                          

February is over and March is here!

Here are my favorites for February

Instyle - UK

Instyle is one of my favorite magazines.

It has everything I want in a magazine which is 

fashion, makeup, hair, celebrities and so much more.

I think the cover for the March issue is so beautiful, the

colors are so pretty!

L'Occitane Hand cream

This hand cream is the best!

The smell is okay, some people might not like it

but it's so hydrating and not that greasy. I use

this a lot during the cold months, hopefully I won't 

need it for March!

Rimmel - Natural Bronzer

I love this bronzer and I always go back

to it. I mostly use it when I don't have a tan

because some bronzers are a bit orange, which I don't like but .

this one is perfect. If you are looking for a great, cheap bronzer you

should definitely try this one.

Primark Necklace

I bought this necklace last December when I

was in Amsterdam. I have used it so much, especially

this February. You can wear it with dresses or jumpers

which I often do and it's really cheap too.

Rimmel - Stay Matte Foundation

Another great product from Rimmel. Latley my

skin color has been a bit uneven and I felt like my BB cream

didn't cover it completely. When I came home from a long

school day, the BB cream had also worn off so I thought 

I would try wearing foundation instead. I was skeptical at first

because I thought it would be too heavy, but if you just use a 

small amount it looks really natural and my makeup lasts so much 

longer now.

January Favorites

It's the beginning of February, which means January Favorites!
I love doing my monthly favorites and i picked four things for this month.
I have three beauty favorites and one fashion so here they are

Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer
This is a great concealer, it covers my dark circles
and it doesn't leave my skin dry. I wouldn't say it lasts
all day but I think it is necessary to apply every six hours or so.
If you are looking for a good drugstore concealer, you should
try this one!

 Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara
This is my first mascara from Bourjois and
it's amazing. It lengthens my eyelashes and it isn't clumpy.
It doesn't smudge and the formula isn't dry.
If you want even thicker and longer eyelashes you should
try wearing the Bourjois mascara and the maybelline Rocket mascara
together.

Frilly Socks
These socks are from River Island but I got mine
in Primark and I've been wearing them a lot this month.
I wear them with boots and it's also super cute to wear
them with converse. They are also really cheap in Primark.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 101
I have already done a review of this mascara
and if you have read it you'll know how much I love it.
It's the perfect pink/nude shade and it's creamy so
it will not leave your lips dry and it's a perfect everyday
lipstick.

That's it for my favorites!

2013 Favorites

Instead of doing my normal monthly favorites, I decided to do
2013 favorites! I have talked about almost every thing on this list except for
the real techniques brushes, which I recently got but I already love! I only have one
fashion favorite, which is my H&M skater skirt, I don't know how many times I have
worn it this summer and winter. I also have my Marc Jacobs dot perfume, my favorite
perfume this year. I also have my Ipad mini which i'm addicted to! OPI such
a Budapest, Nip+Fab body butter (read my review here), Organix renewing moroccan argan
oil shampoo & conditioner (read my review here), I also have my Maybelline BB cream and my
Burt's bees lip balm.
That's it for my 2013 favorties, I had a lovely year and I hope you
did too. I had so much fun writing this post and looking through old posts
on my blog. It has changed a lot since I wrote my first post last March.
Have a wonderful 2014!

November Favorites

It's finally December! I love December, It's probably my favorite month!
Since it's the beginning of December I think it's time to show you my
November favorites. I don't have a lot of favorites this month (only one beauty
& one fashion!) but I promise, next month will be better because i'm going
to Amsterdam! I can't wait, I'm going to shop 'til I drop!
Let's get to my favorites!

I have been loving The Pepperment Tea from 
Celestial. I like drinking it before I go to bed
and it tastes like peppermint! If you are a big
tea drinker you have to try this.

I bought this Dress from New Look last month
and it's so pretty. You can make it look really fancy
or you can dress it down. Everyone needs a
little black dress!

I have worn the OPI Skyfall so many
times! I'm not sure if you can still buy it
because it's like a year old, but I love
deep red nail polishes!

M&M Peanut Butter is probably my
favorite candy ever. What genius thought
of this?!

That's all for my favorites, hope you liked it!
-Purple Flamingo

October favorites

Here it is!
My October favorites.

Batiste - Dry Shampoo
I have been loving the dry shampoo from Batiste in coconut.
It gives your hair volume and your hair will smell
sooo good. I have been using it a lot this month and
I also find easier to work with my hair when I use it.

Braided Headband
It's pretty cold right now where I live, so
I'm always wearing my braided headband.
This headband is from H&M but it's not the same
as mine, I actually knitted my headband.
Braided headbands are so pretty and so much
better than wearing a normal boring headband

Burt's Bees Lip Balm
This is one of my favorite lip balms ever!
I have it in peppermint.
I have written a review on it, which you can
read heeereee. It also smells amaaazing, like
christmas!

Maybelline Eyeliner
This is the Eye Studio Master precise ink pen eyeliner
from Maybelline. It's very easy to use. I'm horrible
at putting on eyeliner but when I use this one,
it almost looks good :)
I definitely recommend this eyeliner.

This is it for my October favorties,
hope you enjoyed it.

September Favorites

I know it's a while since my last post

and I've been meaning to do this post for a week now.

So finally i'm doing it, so here it is, my September favorites.

I have been wanting the Dot by Marc Jacobs perfume, forever.

It's a bit pricey and it smells so good, I couldn't resist buying it.

I use the Maybelline BB cream everyday. It's great

beacause it saves me time in the morning. It's also

really moisturizing which is really important for me because

my skin gets really dry when it's cold outside.

I looove candles, it makes my room so cozy.

I have been using the candles from Ikea,

in vanilla. It smells so good.

My last favorite is high socks.

The high socks look great when you are wearing

boots, plus they're warm!

July Favorties

July is almost over, that means July favorites!

I have four favorites for this month

and here they are!

1

This dress is very similar to the

dress that I bought in H&M.

I love the color and it's perfect for summer.

2

I've already done a review on this palette,

I love it!

The colors are gorgeous and it's very affordable.

3

I got this cute skater skirt from H&M.

It has a silver zipper on the back.

I have been using it so much this summer!

4

I've been using the travel version of
John Frieda, sheer blonde go blonder, and it
works really well. I already see a difference
after using it four times.

-Purple Flamingo

June Favorites

I can't believe June is almost over!
Here are my favorites from this month and
my most used products. 

Love this lip stain from NYC. It's in the shade Persistent Pink,

 and it's perfect for this summer.

I've already done a review on this, it's the 

Moroccan argan oil shampoo and conditioner from Organix.

You can read the review here

This is the John Frieda sheer blonde go blonder lightening spray.

I like to lighten my hair a bit for the summer and this spray

works really well. You can see a big difference after using it 3-5

times but if you use it to much you might damage your hair

because it dries out your hair.

I bought this hair brush from The Body Shop. It's a pretty

big brush and it works really well.

-Purple Flamingo

May Favorites

May is almost over so here are my MAY FAVORITES!

I finally bought my self and Ipad mini after wanting it for

a really long time. I love reading books on it, reading blogs and

I'll soon do a post with all my favorite apps.

I don't know how I would live without a bronzer.

The bronzer i'm currently using is from Rimmel and

I use it everyday.

I got this bodybutter from Nip+Fab for my birthday

and I really like it. It's for dry skin which is perfect

for me and it smells really good. I will soon do a 

review on it.

This month I bought the latest issue of Instyle,

the British edition. I love reading fashion magazines

and Instyle is one of my favorite.

If you have read the post before this one, you'll 

probably recognize these eyeshadows. My favorite

MAC eyeshadow ever is called ricepaper and I have

been using it alot this month.

-Purple Flamingo

April Favorites!

May is finally here!

I bought a peach colored knitted sweater in April and I love it. You can wear it over jeans or shorts and the color is so pretty.

As i mentioned in My Spring Wishlist I love floral for spring so I bought these leggings which go great with my knitted sweater.
You can get it here

I decided to buy the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Eternal Gold and I'm glad I did because it's amazing. I use it as an eyeshadow base and it stays on for a really long time.
You can get it here

I've been using the Fragrance Mist from Victoria's Secret, Such a Flirt a lot. It smells so good and I use it almost every day.
You can get it here

I've also been using the Vitamin E Face Mist from The Body Shop a lot. It's great for setting make-up and it's an excellent refresher.

My 5 Makeup Must-Haves

I thought it would be fun if I would share with you

what are my 5 makeup must-haves.

It was a bit difficult deciding what makeup products

 I was going to pick, but in the end I had finally

decided what they were.

Soooo here they are!

The first product I picked is 

the Maybelline BB cream, which

I also mentioned in my March 

Favourites. I love BB creams because

I don't like using foundation daily because

it's a bit heavy so BB cream is perfect for me.

The next product is Maybelline Dream

Matte Powder. I love it and it's perfect

for my skin and skin tone.

I don't know what I would do if

bronzers wouldn't exist. I love bronzers,

they make you look so much better !

The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit 

is a must-have! I don't think my

makeup look is completely finished

unless I have my brows fully done!

Then last but not least, everyone needs

a mascara! And I have picked the

Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off Mascara.

It's a great mascara!

-Purple Flamingo

March Favorites

I've been loving colored cardigans for March, especially hot pink cardigans because I like how they make a outfit look so bright and fun!

I love these hair clip from H&M it makes your ponytail  look so much fancier :)

This BB cream is amazing! It gives a little color to your skin as well it protects it from the sun with 30 SPF, but that's not all, you can read about it here. 

This OPI nail polish is called Suzi's Hungary Again! It's a really pretty hot pink color that goes well with the hot pink cardigan ;)

This OPI nail polish is called You're Such A Budapest. It reminds me on spring and summer and it's really pretty and girly.

This is a Balm Stain from Revlon and it's a beautiful light purple color. Perfect for spring and summer!
