monthly favourites
As if we are half way through 2016! The year is well and truly flying but I couldn't be enjoying it more. Now I want to apologise for not doing a monthly favourites since January which seems like ages ago, I just haven't been as on the ball with my blogging but for the next 6 months I'll be here each months filling you in on my faves.
This lipstick by Seventeen has been out for a while now but I recently picked up the Stay Pout Lipstick in 'Its a Kiss Off'. I love this shade its so subtle and the tones are so gentle, its such a staple colour for day and night which is why I've been using it like crazy this past month!
Body scrubs from The Body Shop are my absolute favourites, if I could I would buy every single one in the store but sadly my bank balance wouldn't let me also it would be just a tad weird. Anyway, this body scrub is from the British Rose Collection and its such a gorgeous scent, I was going crazy in the store I ended up buying the body scrub and the body butter, not that I needed either but I couldn't say no.
This Boots Botanic Hydrating Day Cream is the only moisturiser I have used for about 3 months now (yes I know its day cream but I use it at night aswell, sue me). I think this cream truly is the definition of 'a little goes a long way' because the smallest amount covers so much and it lasts you forever. As someone who doesn't sleep that much this cream is such a life saver it brightens and softens the skin which is what I need out of a moisturiser.
Thats all for my favourites this month but I will posting alot for in the next coming months, hopefully more outfit posts as England has finally got some nice weather!

So the first month of 2016 is over but it has been an amazing month and a brilliant start to the year, what a better way to celebrate than sharing my favourites with all your beauties! I haven't done a favourites post since last June, I don't know how that happened I really slacked on the blogging front last year but not to worry 2016 will be filled with lots of posts.
I have been all over fragrances this month, I received a fair few for Christmas but my favourite scent has to be Heat by Beyonce. I am a sucker for celebrity perfumes, I have owned pretty much every one under the sun and the Beyonce perfumes are to die for.
I haven't splurged much on beauty this month but I did pick up the Rimmel Wonder'full Mascara which I found to be the perfect mascara. Its very subtle and healthy for the lashes, I have always been a big Benefit mascara user but Rimmel mascaras never fail to impress me and the selection is endless!
January was pretty much a month of me loving Soap and Glory, I mean I love Soap and Glory at the best of times but because I got so much of it for Christmas and then proceeded to buy some of it in the sale my love is at an all time high. The Heel Genius by Soap and Glory has been a must use for me this month, as someone who gets dry heels this has been a saviour and I would never have thought about buying it myself it juts so happened to be in a gift set I received.
I think I may have mentioned this specific TV show here on Magazines and Dreams in the past but I have spent my whole Christmas holidays re-watching Gossip Girl because its just the best TV show going, it never fails to impress me I could watch it endlessly. Side note: UK Netflix is getting rid of it in February so watch as much of it as you can before it goes. *sobs*
If you want to listen to what music I have been listening to this month listen to my Spotify playlists here. That is it for this months favourites! Hope you all had a great start to this year and the rest of the year is bright for you.
Lots of love, Heather x
So its June?! How did this happen? This year has completely flown by but so far this year has been amazing! I have been putting blogging on the back burner these past few months but I do want to take blogging to the next step, so to speak. I bought myself a domain and got myself a new snazzy blog theme which I adore so you will be hearing a lot from me in June, hopefully a few more OOTD posts, if summer would actually reach England. Anyway, heres what I have been loving in May.
I've really been experimenting with eye make-up this month and for Christmas I received a Bare Minerals eyeshadow in 'Glimpse' which I have been using like crazy, it gives a great base for other colours or you can just wear it by itself to add something a little extra to your look. I also got the Real Techniques Starter set which has helped me along the way.
Okay this is an old favourite for me but I thought I had lost this so naturally since I've found it I haven't let it go out of my sight. This Nivea Lip Butter in 'Raspberry Rose' is perfect, the whole range of Nivea lip butter's is to be honest but this is my personal favourite because of the smell, taste and the pretty packaging.
Currently writing a full post for this product but The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser is the only moisturiser I have used for the past 2 weeks, I got it on a whim because as always The Body Shop had an amazing deal on so I treated myself and let me tell you my skin has really benefited from this.
Not the first time this Kardashian Beauty Honey Stick has had a mention on my blog but this month I have been using it like crazy, I am a huge fan of Kardashian Beauty which is only natural from my love for the family and this lip gloss is gorgeous.
A new favourite for me, I discovered Broad City this month and I fell in love. The show is brilliant, its so funny and unapologetic, I binged watched it in about 2 days and the only complaint I have about this show is why aren't there more episodes?! Give it a watch, I feel it might not be everyone's cup of tea but I urge you all to give it a go!
That wraps my favourites for this month! I look forward to the next half of 2015.
Love,

So April wasn't exactly the best month for me blogging-wise but I had an amazing month. It was quite hectic but I enjoyed it! I have my April favourites for you all today and I will post alot more in May as I don't have much planned for the month right now. Enjoy my loves.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 'Light Beige' / LINK
This is pretty much the only foundation I have worn for the whole month of April and the majority of March. I had heard great things about this foundation so I bought it in March and my skin loves it. This shade fits my skin perfectly, it hasn't caused me to breakout or made my skin dry or oily. I do think this foundation is worth the hype it has.
Sabe Masson Solid Perfume in 'Copacabana' / LINK
I only got this a few weeks ago but I honestly haven't put it down, its been great on the go because it doesn't fill the air with odours and it is good on the skin. This also smells heavenly and it gives a very subtle fragrance which I love.
My Little Beauty Lips & Cheeks / LINK
This is another gem I received in one of My Little Boxes. This is a cheek and lip stain, it is the same applicator as a chubby stick which I am obsessed with. It doesn't have a shade name but as you can see from above, it is quite a corally pink. It can be quite drying on the lips but if you have some lip balm underneath it looks gorgeous.
Seventeen Gel Colour in 'Mocha-tini' / LINK
This nail polish is gorgeous. I think I may have mentioned it in my favourite before? I'm not too sure but I love the whole gel colour range from Seventeen because they are really affordable and look gorgeous. I love nude nails anyway but this is my favourite brand for them so I urge you to check them out!
Book: How to be Parisian wherever you are / LINK
I have been lusting after this book for a while and I finally bought it. It is an amazing book, it is humorous, insightful and clever. I pretty much read most of it in 3 days because I just couldn't but it down, it is perfect if you love the Parisian look and lifestyle.
Blogger: cocochicblog / LINK
During April I discovered a ton of new bloggers so I spent a hell of a lot of time reading blogs and I feel in love with cocochicblog. It is a wonderful fashion, beauty & lifestyle blog with blog tips, workout tips and personal posts. Go hive her a follow here.
That is the end of my April favourites! Hope you all have a great May, what were you April favourites?
love,
First post of February! I can't believe I haven't blogged all week, its gone so fast and I am sorry for not posting, I have been so busy with life. I have taken a ton of blog photos and today here are my monthly favourites!
Cheryl Storm Flower Perfume / LINK
I picked up a set of the Storm Flower shower gel, body lotion and the perfume because honestly this perfume smells like heaven. I smelt this when it first came out and I fell in love, I got the set for £15 from Superdrug when the January sales were on and I haven't stopped using it since, also the bottle is to die for.
Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara / LINK
I got this for Christmas off my mum and I love it! I am planning on doing a full post on this beauty which I have taken the photos for but this is the only mascara I have used this month because it does the job!
Kate Moss Rimmel London Matte Lipstick in 101 'Soft Pink' / LINK
This is the first Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick I have ever owned and I have been missing out! I am not a massive lipstick person in general because I don't think it suits me but this colour is very subtle and it didn't dry out my lips. Although it did snap on me a few weeks after I bought it but I have put it back in and it seems to be working.
Talika Photo-Hydra Day / LINK
I received this in My Little Energy Box in mid-January and its honestly one of the best moisturizers I have ever owned. I don't know what I'm going to do when it runs out! It is super hydrating and refreshing to your skin, it is designed for your skin in the morning before you leave the house and my skin loves it!
Love Tanya Book
I admit I didn't pick this up until about the 30th January so it was basically February when I got it but it is such a good book. As you all know its by Tanya Burr who is a fabulous youtuber/blogger and this book has all the essentials for make-up and skincare along with little snippets of her life which are adorable, go grab a copy!
I was going to add a music favourite but I have just been shuffling through some playlist, to see them check out my Spotify (here). What have been your January favourites?
