May Favourites 2017

Hey everyone, I hope you're well!

Since we've had so much nice weather here in the UK, I haven't really worn makeup that often but today I have a list of things I've been loving this month!

BEAUTY

 The first product I've been loving this month is a super shock shadow from Colourpop in the shade Nillionaire. It's a gorgeous bronze shade with pink and gold glitter undertones. I have a few Colourpop shadows and the formula is like nothing I've ever used before! They're not quite a cream, but not a powder either and it took me a while to get used to. This shadow is perfect all over the lid for a warm brown smoky eye. I will definitely be buying more of these shadows, and if you haven't already you need to get some!

 Up next is a product that barely looks used, but trust me a little goes a long way! This one of the newish Strobe highlighters from Makeup Revolution in the shade Flash. I couldn't get the shade to pick up right in natural light but it's a gorgeous icy white highlighter with an iridescent finish. It looks absolutely gorgeous on, and suits paler skin tones perfectly. I've been wearing this every time I do my makeup, and you hardly need any on your brush to get a blinding highlight!

 

Another product I've loved this month by Makeup Revolution is their take on the matte lip kit in the shade Echelon. It's a beautiful cool toned brown nude, although the brown tones didn't really pick up in the photo. This is the perfect nude for lighter skin tones, and is great for everyday. The lip liner is super creamy, and glides on like a dream! The liquid lipstick doesn't dry out your lips and applies really nicely without going patchy. 

The last beauty item I've absolutely loved this month is a fragrance mist from Victoria's Secret. I saw these in my local Superdrug when I was shopping for makeup, and noticed they were on offer at 2 for  £16. I had a browse through the different scents and opted for Pure Seduction which has a lovely mix of red plum and freesia. I'm not usually a fan of really fruity scents but with this being a mist, it's not as strong as others and smells lovely but lasts a long time. 

TV & FILM

Since the new season started, I have been hooked on Pretty Little Liars! I was a little late to the party, and only started watching it last year but I've binge watched it to high heaven and I've finally caught up. It took me a while to get into, because it just seemed a bit boring but it's got so good lately! This is the final ever season too so I know I'll probably cry at the last episode!

I haven't watched any new movies lately, but I've watched The Little Mermaid nearly everyday for the few weeks. I'd never watched it as a child and felt like I'd been missing out on something and now I think I'm obsessed with it haha! When I haven't been watching it, I've had the soundtrack on repeat and I'm pretty sure I know all the lyrics off by heart now!

March Favourites 2017

Hey everyone, I hope you're well! Today I have my monthly favourites for March, a couple of which are old favourites that I've rediscovered!

BEAUTY

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream || I've had this lip cream for what feels like forever, I must have bought this nearly a year ago and I think it's practically ran out now! I go through phases of using this, and have fell back in love! It's in the shade London which is a gorgeous nude perfect for an everyday makeup look. It has a very creamy consistency and is non-drying so feels lovely on the lips. I wish I owned all the shades!!

 Ciaté Nail Varnish || I actually received this nail varnish in a Glossybox, just before I started my reviews on here. It's in the shade Fade to Greige which I absolutely love! It's perfect for me as I can only wear neutral colours to work, and I've noticed looks very different on other skin tones! I believe Ciaté varnishes are quite pricey, but they're definitely worth the money in my opinion!

Freedom Eyebrow Pomade || I was so nervous to buy this product, not really knowing how to use it but I'm so glad I did! It's been my go-to brow product for just over a month now, and I don't think I'd ever go back to my trusty Collection Brow Kit! I have the shade Chocolate which I must admit is a little bit warm for me, but I make it work!

Coconut Lane Phone Case || I know this isn't exactly a beauty product but it certainly is a beauty to look at! I picked this phone case up a few weeks ago, and love it! I love the blush pink colour with the contrast of marble and although it doesn't feel very sturdy, it's served me well so far! Use my code JEEZLOUISE20 to get 20% off at coconut-lane.com

TV & FILM

How I Met Your Mother || I've always loved this show, and will always watch it if it's on TV. But when I noticed it was on Netflix, I just had to start from Season 1 Episode 1! I've probably watched it everyday this month, even if it's only one episode. It's slowly become one of my favourite shows ever, and always great if you need a good laugh!

Beauty and the Beast || I can't even explain how excited I was when it was announced that there would be a live-action Beauty and the Beast, it's one of my favourite animated Disney movies! I went to see it for my birthday last week, and enjoyed it so much! It's just so magical!! The casting was perfect, and Josh Gad played Le Fou so well. I couldn't help but sing along to all the songs, and left the cinema feeling so good! If you haven't seen it already, go now!!

MUSIC

Two Door Cinema Club - Bad Decisions
Kygo & Selena Gomez - It Ain't Me
Pitbull & Flo Rida - Greenlight

February Favourites 2017

I must admit, there haven't been a lot of things I've loved throughout February. I tend to find products I like and stick to them so finding new things to love is always hard.

BEAUTY

The first thing I've loved this month is the Zoeva Cocoa Blend eyeshadow palette. Ross surprised me on Valentine's Day with it and I love it! All the colours are gorgeous and so pigmented! I'd heard some really great things about this palette in the past so my expectations were a little high, but it meets all my standards and is a great versatile palette for day to night looks!

I've never been too bothered about my skincare routine, but the L'oreal Pure Clay face mask has completely changed my mind! I've been using it every 3 days and I've noticed such a difference in my skin already. It leaves my face feeling silky smooth and, fingers crossed, I haven't had any big breakouts lately which is always good news!

Something I bought towards the end of the month is the Shimmer Squad Highlighter Quad from Lottie London. After seeing loads of YouTubers using, I thought I'd try it for myself and if you know me, you know I love a good highlighter! It includes 4 shades so it's perfect for every skin tone, my person favourite is The Good Girl which is a gorgeous pink toned highlighter. I wouldn't say it rivals the ABH Glow Kits but at only £9.99, you can't go wrong!

 Another eyeshadow palette I've been loving this month is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette. I was a little late to the party, but I'm so glad I bought it. It did hurt to buy it since it cost £41 but it was definitely worth it! It's full of gorgeous warm berry shades and has so many combinations for looks. I've been using it non-stop, even for everyday looks which I didn't think I'd be able to do! Photos don't do it justice because it really is such a beautiful palette and I'd recommend it to anyone!

TV & FILM

One show I've binge watched to death is Archer. It's a Netflix original series and is based around the character Sterling Archer, who works as a secret agent. I think it's quite an old(ish) show but it's one that you can watch over and over without getting bored. I probably watched the first season in one night, which says a lot about how much spare time I have! If you're looking for a new series to watch and want one that will make you laugh a lot, then Archer is the one for you!

One film I've been obsessed with this month is, in my opinion, one of the best musical films around and that is Moulin Rouge. I only watched this for the first time about 4 years ago (please don't hate me) but I love musical films! It has such a good story, and Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman look so good together *heart eyes* I've watched it that much, I think I could recite the whole of the film now! If you haven't already seen it, what have you been doing with your life?!

MUSIC

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This

JP Cooper - September Song 

The Vamps & Matoma - All Night

Imagine Dragons - Believer

Lana Del Rey - Love

Wilkinson & Matt Wills - We Will Be
