A few little loves...

hello sweets,
well it was back to the grind of university this month. and honestly, it has been mad from the word go! 
on the plus side, it is the month of love and whether you spent v'day with 
the one who give you butterflies 
or 
drowning in food with your fellow cynics
 {FAC i'm looking at you guys}
i hope you had a day full of laughs and loves! 

here are my top loves for the beginning of semester...

APP:
 iStudiez Pro 
£1.99
this app is great for helping organise new modules. you can use it to keep track of all assignments, which lecturer the work is for and your timetable. for a to-do list junkie like myself, its great being able to see exactly what order my work is due and being able to plan ahead. 
  

SONG:
arctic monkeys
'why'd you only call me when you're high?'
awesome lyrics and i'm totally addicted.

BEAUTY:
rimmel london professional finish in 
500 peppermint 
and 
avon colour trend in
iced champink 
this  miserable weather isn't doing anyone any favours so in a bid to stay cheery i'm channeling a little spring. these pastel colors are sweet as can be and leave nails glossy whilst staying chip-free for up to a week {a miracle for me!}. 


DRINK: 
twinings lemon green tea
i cannot stop drinking this stuff. a much tastier take on the regular stuff! as i'm on a starbucks ban this month, this caffeine free tea is a great substitute... well as a great as anything not from starbucks can be. 

well that's just a few little favorites of mine. 
apologies for the lack of posts but you know how life gets, there's plenty of exciting posts coming in the next few weeks so keep coming back!

what are your feb favorites? 

kisses

new love: topshop make-up ..

happy wednesday beauties..

i did it. i caved. 
after months of lusting after swatches and watching every review out there, i finally gave in and bought some 
topshop make-up.

£9.00
topshop glow
recently i've become a massive fan of contouring, but have struggled to find a highligher i love. however this creamy highlighter is beautiful. it blends evenly leaving a faint golden pink glow that catches the light perfectly. slightly different to normal but i like to apply it after my primer {MAC prep + prime skin}.
 i find it blends best on freshly primed skin rather than over my foundation {MAC studio fix fluid in NW15}. glow, leaves my skin with a beautiful dewy finish without producing shine.
 my only wish... the pot should be bigger! 
4/5

£5.00
topshop lipliner
i'd never been one to bother lining my lips but i thought i'd give this one ago.
this creamy, dark red liner is easy to apply and blends brilliantly with most reds.
i use it with MAC viva glam and MAC ruby woo, works perfectly with both! 
creamy and easy to use, well worth a buy!
5/5

i have well and truely fallen in love with these products and will certainly be buying more!
i adore the white and grey packaging with the glass pots. 


next products i want to try:
and 

any other products i should try next?

kisses,
