February Favorites | Hair, Beauty & More


Hey my lovelies I hope you're well. So that's it, another month of 2015 over with and now we're already in March the start of Spring. And obviously as it's a new month I have my favorites of the previous month for you.

First up is hair and I love to buy hair products as I like to make sure my hair is as healthy as I can get it for it to grow and look luscious. I bought the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full For Color-Treated Hair Shampoo and John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full For Color-Treated Hair Conditioner as well as the John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner Mask specially for my hair as it's dyed and my hair doesn't have much life to it so I thought I'd give those 3 a whirl and I love them, my hair has been going through a greasy stage for some reason which is probably because of all the crap food I've eaten. But my hair has been lasting a few days without going greasy, it also feels and is looking healthier and my hairs not been as flat as it naturally is.

Also for days when my hair is a little greasy as I'm trying to wash my hair on a Monday and Friday like I did a few months ago before it's greasy stage kicked in, the Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral And Flirty Blush works amazing for my hair, I get the large size as I use this a lot and the smaller one runs out quick. I could never be without this dry shampoo.

Now for make-up, as in a few of my posts I've mentioned this products before and they are the Soap & Glory The Perfect Ten Eyeshadow Palette, No7 Stay Perfect Metallic Eyes Pencil in the purple and brown shades, Benefit Hoola Bronzer and Benefit They're Real Mascara. I love these a lot, I won't go into detail on the palette as I have a review here. The eye pencils are lovely and butter, amazing for blending, I like to put it on my top lid close to my eyelash line and blend them out. Benefits Hoola Bronzer and They're Real Mascara I'm sure you've heard lots about as they are very popular and very good.

I have a few foods I've been enjoying lately, as I'm on a diet which you may know from this post with an explanation to why I am and how. For lunch I've been having bagels with low fat Philidelphia cheese & Salmon or Tuna on top and it's so yummy and perfect for lunch. For a snack I've been really into having a salt and vinegar rice cake as it's only around 40 calories per rice cake. This is strange to put on my favorites but water with fresh lemon is super yummy and very healthy for you. It gives a little extra flavoring to water.

And last but not least I can't forget to add my camera into my favorites, it's my first proper camera but I've been loving it, I think it does just the job for the time being for this blog and it is the Sony Alpha a5000 Compact System Camera with 16-50 mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Zoom Lens in Black. I have a post on it here. 

So that's all my favorites this month, I hope you liked. If you want to know what music I've been into for the month then I have a post here if you'd like to check it out. Thank you.

NEW CAMERA!




Woohoo, I am so pleased to tell you all that I finally have a camera for my blog, I have been using my iPhone 5 to take all my pictures which is why my pictures always looked crappy and I couldn't take the quality no longer it's awful for blog content. I'm a total noob at cameras but I didn't want just a basic digital camera I wanted it to be more decent and advanced. I did contemplate on getting the Canon EOS 600D as I've seen that a lot of bloggers and YouTubers use it for their images and videos and I loved the quality it produces but it's a bit too advanced for me as a first camera and it was out of the budget I set for my first camera. Obviously I'm no photographer I'm just a basic person who likes to take photo's but has not much knowledge of photography.. I will be learning more though for the quality of my blog.

What I was looking for is decent image and video quality and a flip/tilt-able viewfinder so if I were to take pictures of a make-up look on myself then I'd be able to see if I'm in frame and focus. The camera I got is the Sony Alpha a5000 Compact System Camera with 16-50 mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Zoom Lens in Black as I thought I wanted the camera to be able to fit in my bag nicely and isn't to big a bulky and I can take it anywhere easily. My boyfriend and I have set a goal of a certain amount of followers I have for my blog until I can buy a more advanced and expensive camera. Also the price of this camera was well in my price budget, I was happy to spend between £200 to £300 and this was £259. I also bought a 32 GB memory card for the camera, I'm gonna be taking a lot of photo's and maybe videos so I need a fair amount of memory.
