March Favourites

So its the time of month again for March favourites and I've had a lot of favourites this month but not all too many beauty ones. There aren't as many products in this months favourite post but I've still got a few.

1. Homemade Lipsticks
So if you saw my 'How To: Making Lipstick' post then you'll know that recently I've made my own lipsticks. I really love that method and its so much cheaper than buying lipsticks. It's so fun too, I definitely recommend it.

2. Maryland Gooeys Chocolate Cookies
I love chocolate and I love cookies so when I saw these maryland cookies that had melted chocolate on the inside, I was desperate to try them out. They are so delicious. They're my new favourite biscuits.

3. Candles
I've been into candles from the beginning of this year as you know but this month, I've purchased lots more candles and tealights which I love so they have to make it into my favourites post once again.

4. Witch Pore Minimising Foaming Cleanser
This is a nice foaming cleanser that I use twice a week as well as my normal cleanser. I really like this because I feel that it helps keep my skin clear. As for pores, I'm not so sure it minimises them because I have quite large pores and I find it very difficult to find products that help that but I ill repurchase this because it helps clear my skin.

5. Dove Nourishing Hair Care Condtioner
I've started to use conditioner in the ends of my hair and I really like it. I love this shampoo and conditioner.

6. Fashion Magazines
Recently I've been really into the fashion magazines. I've been purchasing Seventeen, Teen Vogue, Glamour and Company magazine. I really enjoy reading these. In the future I might do a fashion magazine comparison. If you'd like that, let me know.

7. #Nomakeupselfie for Cancer Research.

I've really loved the huge amounts that the no makeup selfies have been raising. In the first 24 hours it raised £2million which is such a big amount. I think its such a nice way to raise money to help cancer research just by posting no makeup selfies. If you haven't already, join in and post a photo of you without makeup and nominate 3 others to do it too and donate £3 to cancer research by texting 'BEAT' to 70009. Spread the word!

8. Frozen

This honestly has been my favourite film since it came out but this month I've especially been obsessed with it. My best friend and I can't stop singing the songs as the soundtrack is amazing and I really love the storyline too. I think that the newer disney princess animations aren't as good as the 'old-school' Disney (except Tangled! I love that too!) but this film really is great and I would 100% recommend it. In fact it actually comes out in the UK today and I'm really looking forward to purchasing it.

February Favourites

Hey Guys,
So it's getting towards the end of February and so it's time for my favourites post. Most of my favourites of the month were the same as last month but I've only written about the new items so I'm sorry if it's so short. I also just wanted to mention that all the products mentioned are linked if you click on them. This will be the same for all my blog posts from now on.

1. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
This is a new product for me and I've absolutely loved it this month, I've used it nearly everyday. It's so creamy and gives great coverage. I'm not going to go on about it too much because I have an upcoming review on this product.

2. Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush
Of all of my 3 Real Techniques Brushes, this brush was my least used brush until this month. I'd always used this brush for eyeshadow but this month I started using it for concealer and I absolutely love it. It blends concealer so well and makes your skin look flawless. I love it.

3. Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in Green Berry
As you know from my recent haul, I bought this nail polish because I loved the colour. it really stood out to me and it looks just as great on. This colour has been on my toenails constantly and my fingernails most weekends.

4. Benefit The POREfessional Primer
This month I decided to try the Benefit POREfessional primer which minimises the appearance of pores and I have really loved it.

5. L'Oreal Skin Perfection Moisturizer
I really needed a good quality moisturiser so I tried this one. I hadn't seen any reviews or anything so it was quite a risk but it was worth  it because this makes your skin so soft and refreshed. I'm going to be reviewing it in the next few weeks so I'll tell you more about it then.

6. Decleor Spot Treatment
I used to really love this but then I swapped products to a Neutrogena Spot Treatment and Tea Tree Oil. Recently I've gone back to it and it has cleared my skin so much.

7. Twitter
So this is slightly different to my other favourites. I have recently joined twitter and I have to say, I really love it! I have got a personal account as well as an account for PinkCupcake7 so if you want to follow that feel free. Its @pinkcupcake7_xo

Those are my favourites for this month. Please comment your favourites below or email me, I'd love to try out those too.

January Favourites

Hey guys,
So with it being the end of January, I thought I'd tell you what have been my favourite products of this month!

1. Neutrogena Acne Treatment
If you've read all of my posts the month, you'll know that I went on a small beauty haul to Walgreens and purchased this spot treatment. I love the cleanser in this range so was excited to give this a try. I really love this treatment, you can apply it to fade past breakouts, clear present breakouts and prevent future breakouts so I apply it every morning after I've had a shower. You only use a 'light coverage' so it lasts a long time and if you immediately treat a breakout with this, I find that it goes very quickly.

2. Fresh Minerals Powder Foundation
I really have been loving this powder foundation this month. I have used it most days because I find that it looks extremely natural. It doesn't give very much coverage but I use it to correct my skin tone and then you can use additional concealer if you need more coverage. I just think this really does give you a glow and makes you look fresh.

3. Covergirl Smoochies
I also recently bought these in my small beauty haul. I bought them in 2 colours, a reddish purple and s girly pink. These lip balms are really moisturising and smell really nice too. They are a bit like Maybellines BabyLips but they they give lot more colour than BabyLips. I especially love the pink one, its in the colour Text Me which is the pink, it has a little sparkle to it and I love the way it looks.

4. Lip Vitamins Lip Balm
I got two of these for Christmas in 2012 and if I'm honest they were just put away in my drawer and not touched but recently I've found them and have been loving them. I have them in Honey and Mango, I especially love the Honey one, they are very moisturising and I really love them.

5. Essie Nail Polish in Bikini So Feeny
I am still at school and am not allowed to wear nail polish for school so at weekends I take the opportunity to paint them. Every Weekend throughout January I have chosen the same colour by Essie, Bikini So Feeny. It's a blue colour and I love it.

6. Christmas Cookie Yankee Candle

I got this candle for Christmas and it smells so nice. It's quite a sweet smell but it is so nice! I lit it and it made my whole bedroom smell amazing. It also lasts a really long time, if you keep it lit, it lasts a total of 4 hours before burning out.

7. Bath and Body Works Japenese Cherry Blossom body spray

I bought this in the January sales for $3 <a great bargain. This body spray smells so good, it is one of my favourite scents and I get so many compliments whilst wearing it. 

8. Tea Tree Oil

I bought this spot corrector from boots but when I got home, I realised that really, it was just tea tree oil. 

I have been using this product since around Christmas and I forget how much it helps my skin! I find that out of all my acne treatments, cleansers and moisturisers, tea tree oil works best for me. I also have some from The Body Shop which is more of a cream than liquid but that works great too. Tea tree oil in general is just a must for me.

These are just some of the products I've been loving this month and I would recommend all of them.

2013 Beauty and Fashion Favourites

 Hey guys,

So this is the first favourites post I've ever done and so I've started on quite a big one - Yearly Favourites. Since I am a beauty and fashion blogger, these will all be beauty and fashion related: makeup, hair care, skin care, outfits, ranges etc. I've split my post into 2, beauty and fashion so that those who are only keen on one can just read that part. Hope you enjoy it!

Beauty
1. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
This products is all-round great. I love the light coverage feel it gives to your skin and I love the fact that it looks great but feels nice on your skin and looks natural. It is very inexpensive but worth it. It also smells like strawberries! < Always a plus!

2. Rimmel Eyeliner
This is a newly found product for me. I wanted a black eyeliner and asked my older sister if she had one, she said I could have this Rimmel one and I'm so glad she did! I am running out of this eyeliner so I tried looking for another black eyeliner and after purchasing a couple, I realised that nothing was as good as my Rimmel one!

3. Sun in Spray
I bought this spray as I desperately wanted to dye my hair but wasn't allowed and it really does my a difference! You simply spray in a little and either blow dry it or 'let the sun do the work' and the next day, your hair looks genuinely lighter. I've had so many people ask me if I've dyed my hair and its all thanks to sun in!

4. Neutrogena Acne Cleanser
I love this cleanser, it is my favourite hands down. I really do think its the best out there, for me it tops all of my decleor and dermalogica cleansers. I have purchased so many of these and would definitely recommend it for all of you!

5. Dial Soy and Almond Milk Body Wash
Oh. My. Gosh. The smell of this body wash… it is so good. Honestly, it is my favourite scent. It reminds me a lot of a coconut scent but its actually soy and almond milk. This is my favourite body wash, I've repurchased it countless times and will be in the future. Again, its so inexpensive too!

6. Satin Care Shaving foam
I only started using shaving foam this year and let me tell you, it makes shaving your legs so much faster and easier! I have once again repurchased this product so many times and will be in the future - its great! It also lasts for such a long time!

7. Freeman Face Masks
Ok, so you've heard me rave about these in so many of my posts so I'm not going to go too much into it today but lets just say, these things are my saviours on a bad skin day… they're amazing!

8. Baby Lips
Everyone loves baby lips! See my first blog post for my review on them… pretty much all positive!

9. Eos lip balms
These are so moisturising and great. The smells and tastes are also just delicious. I love them so much and can't wait to collect more!

Fashion

1. Shops

So once again I've been loving lots of shops but this year my love for the shops Aeropostale, Pac Sun, Urban Outfitters, American Eagle, Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe have grown. My style has changed ALOT over the past year, past few months actually. I've grown to be a lot more daring and not care as much what people think. I'm a lot more confident and try to wear some more wild clothes every now and again, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I mix it up a bit more and don't always 'play it safe'. I have to say, I'm so glad, shopping and styling is so much more enjoyable now and these shops are to thank for it.

2. Leggings and Jumpers

I've always loved leggings but just as much as jeans but this year I have worn leggings probably 85% of the time, I've bought probably 10 more pairs of leggings because I wear them that often. I really do love them, especially with jumpers. I just think that they're so alternative, you can wear them dressed-up or down and they're always so comfortable.

3. The Bethany Mota Collection by Aeropostale.

I LOVE this collection. I've only just heard of Bethany Mota (A well-known you tuber) as I've only just become part of the youtube world and I noticed she had a range in Aeropostale but didn't realise that ALL of the clothes on my most recent shopping trip are actually from her range, nothing from the others. I'm absolutely in love with her collection and would really recommend checking it out.

So these are my 2013 favourites! I hope you enjoyed this post
