    Hey guys, it's no secret, I love my iPhone. So today I thought I would share my favourite apps with you; hope you enjoy and maybe even download them!
    *In no particular order

    Cloth
    The first app is, of course, a fashion app. You can upload pictures of outfits you like, and 'cloth' will keep them organised for you. This way, when you're in a rush or just out of ideas, you already have a selection of fashionable outfits waiting for you!

    BuzzFeed
    I hate to admit it, but I fricking love this app. First of all, I'm a sucker for BuzzFeed quizzes. Whenever I have nothing to do, I will open up the quiz section and just go crazy. I also really like that you can customise the app to your preferences, so all the articles that appear in your feed are things you actually want to read.

    Instagram
    Instagram has got to be my favourite social media (maybe after tumblr, but their app has some improving to do). I love being able to share photos so that my friends can see them and also so that I have a place to look back on. I also really like seeing other people's photos, so I can see what my friends are up to. Instagram just always seems to put me in a better mood.

    Snapseed
    I have almost 20 apps dedicated to editing photos (yes I know, I'm crazy) and lately 'snapseed' has been my favourite. I love the 'tune image' function because it makes it super easy and quick to adjust things like brightness, contrast, shadows, saturation, etc.

    8tracks
    Last but not least, a music app. I actually prefer this to other music apps for two reasons. First of all, it's free. But also, I really love that you can search up a genre, or an activity, or a mood or anything of the sort, and 8tracks will provide you with a variety of different playlists created by other users. I really love this because if I'm studying or something, and I don't want to think about what music to play, I can just search up something like "studying, acoustic, chill", choose a playlist, and enjoy.

    Drugstore Haul

    Hey there!
    So, I know that I don't have any followers, so there's not really anybody to apologise to, but I'm going to do it anyway. Sunday I didn't post anything, and I feel really bad about it! It's the first time I missed an upload, and I really don't know how but I completely forgot to write anything. Anyway, I promise it's not going to happen again.

    As you probably guessed from the title, today I have a drug store haul! But, since I'm a little sneaky, I've also thrown in some candles and some other little things.



    The first thing I bought from the drugstore was something that I really wanted, a Kylie Jenner inspired lipstick. I really love Kylie's look and her lips have been everywhere lately! I bought the 'Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm' in 225 'Sultry Sulfureuse'. It's not exactly like what Kylie usually wears, but it's pretty similar and anyway it's a great colour for autumn. I also really love the revlon colorburst matte balms in general (I already have another one) because they're really pigmented, easy to apply, and, as an added bonus, they smell like mint.


    I don't know why but it looks much pinker in the picture!

    While looking for a good autumn lip, I came across this little gem. It's the Rimmel 'by Kate' lipstick in 03, and it's an adorable nude lip. It's a really nice, beige nude colour with pink undertones and I just think it's really wearable and flattering. I also know that I love the formula because I already have a Rimmel lipstick by Kate in the shade 112.



    The last two lip products I bought go hand in hand and it's two 'baby lips'. I really like baby lips because I just think they're an easy thing to wear especially when you're in a hurry but you still want to make an effort. The first one I bought is I think my all time favourite and a real classic in the colour 'Cherry Me'. The second one is much more exciting. It's from the new 'electro' line and it's a bright orange ('Oh! Orange!'). I was really intrigued by it because I wanted to see how it would look, and also because, let's face it, it's very halloween-y. I've already tried it and I really like it because it leaves a sheer orang-y glow to your lips and it smells like oranges.


    Something that I was really excited to buy was the Maybelline 'Falsies' mascara. I have heard so many wonderful reviews, and I finally got it! I haven't been using it long enough to form a review yet, but so far so good.

    Same goes for the L'Oreal 'Super Liner'. I've been looking for a good eyeliner for a long time, and I heard some really good things about this one. I'm really excited to try it out and see how I get along with it.

    Candles. Candles. Lord knows I have a weakness for candles. I recently discovered a Yankee Candle store not too far from my house, which means bye bye savings. So far I've limited my purchases to this Black Coconut scented heaven. This is a repurchase for me, and I'm not kidding, it has to be the best smelling thing to have ever been created. I'm not a massive coconut person, but this is different. I don't even know how to describe it, it's like warm coconut so it's not really a summer scent. It's more of like a comforting autumn scent mixed with some summer nostalgia. This isn't even making any sense, point is, go out and buy it.


    I also went to IKEA recently, and, as any normal person would, I bought some candles. These candles were amazingly cheap and they smell so good. They're vanilla ice cream scented and honestly I think that says it all. Do you need another reason to go and buy them?


    From IKEA I also bought these two fake plants and some pots for them. I didn't know I could be this excited about fake plants, but I am! Before finding these I was unsure about the whole 'plant' thing, because I really like the way plants liven up a room but they die and they're messy and often expensive. However I was worried that fake plants would look completely fake and ugly. The ones I found were really cheap and they look so real! They make such a difference in my room and I really fricking love them. The pots are also adorable and they were only 99 cents each.

    Hey guys, so today is going to be a tag because I totally forgot it was thursday and so I didn't have a post planned. Anyway, these seem like fun questions, so let's do this!

    1) You have to get rid of all your foundations and can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?
    I don't really have a favourite foundations, so I would probably choose my Maybelline BB cream, because it's lighter on the skin and more moisturising. 

    2) You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?
    This is a hard question. If I had lipstick on my teeth, I would want somebody to tell me, but at the same time I'm not a bold person so I probably wouldn't feel right saying anything. I wouldn't want to embarrass the lady. 

    4) You go back in time to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?
    Well I am in my teenage years, but I'm sure that in the future I'm going to look back and wish to change many things, haha!

    5) You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.
    Oh God! Just reading this question makes me tense up, how I would hate it! Again, I'm not a bold person, so I doubt I would complain. I hope I wouldn't start crying, because that would be embarrassing, but there's a chance. I think the thing I would most likely do is hysterically call my mom, and maybe have her call the manager. I would definitely not go back to that hair salon though! 

    6) Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup bag?
    I don't really have a 'do it all' palette, so I guess I would be in real trouble!

    7) Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe?
    Probably my Tanya Burr lipgloss in 'Picnic in the Park', just because I'm really attached to it. I'm so proud of Tanya and she's such an inspiration, I would hate to lose that, even though I know I could buy it again. 

    8) Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs
    This honestly depends on the friend for me, but in most cases I would probably just confront them and say something about it. I wouldn't really ask them to repurchase it unless they really ruined it or it was something expensive/important.

    'Dorothy' bubble bar

    'Luxury LUSH Pud' bath bomb

    I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but I love lush! I don't go there often because it is quite expensive, but during autumn/ christmas time I make some exceptions because, let's face it, who can resist a good lush bath during the colder months?
    I only bought bath products this time, some of which I've never tried and some old favourites. So here's what I got:

    'So White'
    A white fizzling and bubbling bath bomb, with a surprising pink interior and a calming scent of apple.

    'Star Light, Star Bright'
    A real glittery gem that creates a turquoise and sparkle bath. It leaves your skin feeling super soft, super bright and smelling like zesty ginger and soft lavender. 

    'Dorothy'
    An adorable and bubbly 'Wizard of Oz' themed bubble bar, designed to fill your bath with bubbles and an amazing floral scent.

    'Luxury LUSH Pud'
     a relaxing, colourful, lavander scented bath bomb and a personal winter favourite.

    Regret is one of the worst feelings, I know from experience. Which is why this week I want to challenge you, whoever you are, to say 'yes' to an opportunity you would other wise turn down. Don't be afraid to take chances because yes, it might go wrong, but it might also turn out amazing. Step out of your comfort zone and do more, so that you won't be left asking yourself 'what if?'.
