Hi everyone so today I am going to be showing you my August favourites.
Skincare:

I only purchased this product recently but I am already loving it. It is very gentle on my skin but still removes make up easily. It was £6.99 from Boots

Beauty



This is the Tanya Burr Hollywood palette. These shades are super pigmented and last for hours without creasing but I found that by the end of the day it had creased a little so I recommend using a primer or base underneath the shadows. I got it from Superdrug and it was £6 but you can also get it from feelunique. http://www.feelunique.com/


This mascara is great if you want really full looking lashes. However I do find that I can't put this mascara on my bottom lashes is the wand is too big. I got it from boots and it was £3.99

This lipstick is a MAC lustre lipstick in Plumful This shade lasts all day and is a great berry tone for winter. All MAC lipsticks are £15.50.


Hair


I have been using this shampoo for a while now and it is amazing. It makes your hair really glossy without it looking greasy. It is also quite thick so you don't need too much. It was £3.99 from Boots and you can also get the matching conditioner which is £3.50 from Boots.




This conditioner is amazing for untangling hair and preventing split ends. However, I only put it in the ends of my hair as if you put it in the roots it makes the hair really greasy. This conditioner was £3.50 from Boots and the matching shampoo is also £3.50 from Boots.

Bath


I have been a big fan of lush for a long time and I have a lot of favourites from there including The Comforter (£4.75) and Think Pink (£2.65.).Lush have many stores but you can also order online here -

Recently I have also been loving this trio. First it put Calm One Calm All bubble bath (£6 from Boots) in whilst the bath is running. Then I scrub my whole body with The Smoothie Star body scrub (£8 from Boots) , then I wash the scrub off with the Zoella Beauty Soak Opera bubble bath and shower cream (£5 at Superdrug). 8I love using these products together because the bubble bath and body scrub leave my skin feeling really soft and the scent of the shower cream stays to your skin so your skin smells amazing. 

Homeware



Gabriella Cat Face Glass Mug
This cup is from Gabriella's range at Primark (gabriellaxprimark). I love this cup and it was really cheap too as it was only £2


These fairy lights are also from Gabby's range and they are really pretty. They were £8 but be careful when getting them out the box as some of the sequins come off but it shows no obvious hole




Unfortunately Gabby's range is in selcted stores only so check before you next go to primark. You can also order it online at  http://www.primark.com/en/homepage



Thanks everyone

Love Lou

Today I thought I would share my favourite seasonal nail varnishes that I reach to when ever I do my nails.
Spring

My favourite spring nail varnishes are Sally Hansen Smooth And Protect in 07 Sea, Superdry nail varnish in 13 Jade and Kiko nail lacquer in 525. These are my favourite spring nail varnishes because all of them are really easy to apply and the only varnish that needs more than one coat is the Sally Hansen varnish which is a little more opaque.


Summer



 
The three shades I selected were 17 lasting fix nail polish in orange soda, Barry M Gelly Nail Varnish in 6 Prickly Pear and Tanya Burr Cosmetics nail varnish in Bright and Early. All of these shades are really bright so they work perfectly for going on holiday as they all look nice with a tan.


Autumn


 The three autumn shades I selected are all from Superdry. The first is 03 Punk Pink, the second is 02 Tom Plum and the last one is 05 Imperial Navy. All the these shades are really pigmented and I find that they last a long while without chipping but only if you put a top coat on. I also recommend using a base coat underneath them as if not they stain your nails.


Winter




Finally, my favourite winter shades are Little Things nail polish in Raspberry Rush, Maybelline Colour Show nail varnish in 103 Marinho and Barry M nail polish in 273 Raspberry . I have chosen these varnishes as my favourite winter nail varnishes as I think all of the shades look nice at Christmas etc.


Thanks so much for reading

Love Lou

Hey guys so today I thought I would share with you my favourite cookie recipe of all time - Tanya's triple chocolate cookies.

 
Ingredients for 10 cookies
200g butter
300g caster sugar
1 large egg
275g self-raising flour
75g cocoa powder
a dash of milk (optional)
1 large bar of white chocolate
1 large bar of milk chocolate
1 large bar of dark chocolate
3 Daim bars
 
 
First you will need to pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees c. Then mix together your butter and sugar until it is a smooth consistency. Next crack in an egg and your dry ingredients then mix it all together. If your mixture looks a little dry add a bit of milk. Now break up your bars of chocolate and Daim bars and stir them into the mixture. Line 2 baking trays with foil or baking paper. Then place on 10 roughly equal sized cookies. Then  put the 2 trays into the oven for 11 minutes - when you take them out they won't looked cooked but they so don't put them back in or they will burn. Finally leave them to cool for 30 minutes before trying them.

Hope you enjoy

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am going to be blogging about everything beauty related. You can leave me suggestions in the comments if you want to . I will try to read all of them and I will take all suggestions on board.
 
I just thought I would tell you that I will be hopefully posting 4 times a week on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I will try my best to keep to my schedule but sometimes a post may be a day or two late.... I hope you don't mind.
 
Also I am just going to say that I am not starting my blog to be like Zoella and other famous bloggers I am just doing it for a bit of fun and I am not expecting anyone to read this.
 
Love Lou
