So it feels like I've been gone forever, I decided to take a break as uni was getting more stressful and I didn't have a lot of spare time to blog. Uni has been over for a while now and I've just been enjoying the summer but I felt it was time to return to blogging. As I recently passed all my modules I decided to treat myself to a few little bits.

January favourites
So it's been a while and I'm really sorry but I've been so busy with Uni lately that I just haven't had the time to write any posts. Excuses aside, here are my favourite products of January.

A little trip away!
This isn't a beauty related post, but I did promise the occasional lifestyle post, so here's the first.
So recently at uni I had to do a presentation and I'm not going to lie, I was really scared about doing it, I have suffered from social anxiety disorder for years now and the thought of doing anything in front of an audience honestly terrifies me. To give me a bit more of an incentive to actually turn up and get it over with, and to celebrate my 19th birthday, my boyfriend booked us a little weekend away to the countryside, and I had the best time there, we stayed in a little cottage and the view was absolutely amazing. I don't think I've been anywhere so beautiful in my entire life. I took some photos whilst we were there that I thought I would share just a few of my favourites with you, although they don't really do the views much justice.

REVIEW: Natural Collection products!
I personally love a bargain and when I first tried Natural Collection a few years back I was pleasantly surprised by just how good this brand is! This brand is available from boots in the UK and I believe all the products in the brand cost £1.99
I personally think the stand out products from this brand are their moisture shine lipsticks, I currently have two shades, Apple Blossom, which is a pale peachy pink colour, and Raspberry, which is a bright pinky red colour, both these shades are very pigmented and either contains any shimmer (which I am personally very happy about!), although, if you do like shimmer in your lipsticks, the range includes some shimmery shades too. They are comfortable to wear and have a good lasting power considering they are moisturising. The best part is that these lipsticks are only £1.99!

Everyday makeup routine!
So I already uploaded this but so of the links weren't working properly for me so here it is again, I apologise and hopefully everything works this time.
FACE: To begin I use Maybelline's Fit Me foundation in 110 (Buy here), it is too dark for me but has a light coverage so I can just about work with it. To give my skin a bit of a glow I mix the So Susan Water-based Pure luminizer (Buy here). To apply foundation I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush (Buy here)After foundation I use Harmony blush by MAC to contour (Buy here) and then powder with Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder (Buy here). To apply this I use the Clinique powder brush (Buy here).

Soap and Glory haul!
Earlier today I popped into town and went into boots to pick up a face wash as I ran out this morning. Whilst there I went to look at the Soap and Glory section and bought a few things that I thought I would share with you.
The first thing I bought was the Peaches and Clean cleansing milk. It claims to be a 4-in-1 cleanser that includes peach extract with skin smoothing fruit acids, quillaja bark, which is a natural soap, jojoba oil, to soften the skin and detoxyboost technology, which helps purify and deep clean the skin. It also claims to give a clearer, fresher and brighter complexion. I tried this when I got back to my boyfriend's house and I really like it, it doesn't lather at all on the skin and instead as a cream texture that you just massage into your face and then rinse off. The first thing I noticed about this was the scent, it smells like peaches and isn't at all artificial. I also noticed that it left my skin feeling clean and soft. It claims to be suitable for all skin types but when reading the information on the back I did notice that it contains exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids, which, sounds pretty scary so if you have sensitive skin, I would be careful with this product.

Favourite drugstore lip products!
I love the Kate Moss range of lipsticks for rimmel, and this is my favourite shade for everyday wear. It is a lovely soft pink colour that I think would suit lots of people. It has a matte finish but does not feel heavy or drying on the lips at all, they are reasonably long lasting, and I only had to re-apply a few times during the whole day. These lipsticks have a scent that reminds me of watermelon but it is not too strong and once on the lips I don't notice it at all.
