Hey guys.                      

So today's post will be all about what I am loving recently. I'm not going to do these month by month because it takes me a while to develop a love for new things so each month would get a bit repetitive. I will however post a short 'love list' on Instagram on the last day of the month to show you four things that  have stood out from the month.

..Makeup..

Mac Studio Fix Foundation- I can not rate this foundation highly enough. It has medium to high coverage and lasts all day, I got mine in the shade NC18 which really matches my skin tone perfectly and I love the way it evens out my redness without the need for concealer.

Mac Select  Cover-up Concealer-  When I first saw the size of this product, I thought it would be gone with a few uses but I have had it since November and it is still going strong. You only need a tiny tiny amount of this to cover your blemishes or dark circles, a little goes a long way. 

Urban Decay Naked 1 and 3 palette-  I mentioned in my 2016 goals post that I wanted to get better at makeup application and rediscovered these two gems! I have been loving combining these palettes to create beautiful eye makeup looks with natural looks, shimmery brown looks but also lovely  gold and pink looks which would be perfect for valentines day. The colour payoff of these eye shadows are amazing and when used with a primer, last all day long. I love the versatility of these palettes also. 

Collection Volumising Mascara- I got this as a gift from my friend Emma at Christmas and I love the things it does to my eyelashes, its not the best for lengthening but it doesn't claim to be. But this mascara makes my eyelashes so voluminous and thick that when paired with a lengthening mascara makes my eyelashes look really pretty and fluttery. 

MAC Matte Lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy- The first MAC lipstick I have ever bought and I have completely fallen in love with it. Its natural looking but its one of those colours where you can still tell that whoever is  wearing it has got lipstick on if that makes sense. People often find that matte lipsticks make their lips dry but I don't find that at all, it inst glossy mind, but it certainly doesn't dry out my lips.  

..Beauty and Fragrance.. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh- My two favorite scents in perfume are sweet/womanly or fresh and I feel like this perfume is the perfect blend of them. It has the undertone smell of palma violet  sweets which means it is suitable to wear for a special occasion but also it has a fresh smell to it which means you can have a quick spritz on a morning and it will liven you up for the rest of the day. 

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleaner- I made a goal this year to look after my skin and I knew that to do that I needed to invest in a really good cleaner to get every bit of makeup from my pores as that is what most of my spots are caused by. I love how this makes my skin feel, it feels tighter and fresh and most importantly, clean. I also really like how you can actually see how much makeup and crap has came off your face. 

Lush Bubble Bar in '5 gold rings'- I bought these out of my Christmas money and I can by far say these are the best value for money product I have bought from Lush so far, they leave a glittery sheen to your skin and are very moisturising. They smell sweet but also have a slight spice to them which is why they are in the winter collection at Lush. Each of the five rings can be cut in half which gives you 10 uses but I tend to go with the flow; if I am pairing with a bath bomb then I use half of one and if I am just wanting bubbles I use a full one. Definitely one of my favourite all time Lush product. 

VO5 Nourish My Shine- Another of my goals for this year is to get my hair into better condition and the nourish my shine range from VO5 has really helped. I have the shampoo,conditioner and the heat protection spray and I can see a massive difference in my hair. I also want to buy some other products from the range such as the hot oil and the re hydration miracle mist.

..Random Favourites..

YOUTUBER- Mollie Georgia-  I have been subscribed to Mollie for a few months now and I absolutely love her videos! I feel like I can really relate a lot of what she says because we are in a similar age group and both doing our AS-Levels. She is such a sweet, genuine person and I honestly commend her for the amount of work she puts into her videos, she deserves so so so many more more subscribers than she has! I often comment on her videos and she is always always lovely when she replies. She just seems so genuine and real and I tend to do a shopping splurge whenever I watch her beauty videos(she has very good makeup taste) which for someone on a beauty buying ban is a nightmare ;) If you want to check out her channel the link is here Mollies Channel.

SONG/MUSIC- Shawn Mendez, Stitches & Zayn, Pillowtalk. No words other than; AMAZING. 

FOOD- Hummus- I have been really loving hummus lately; I use it to dip carrot sticks,cucumber and other veggies in it.. I absolutely love it! 

Well I hope you enjoyed this post guys, I am back into frequent blogging after some time away and I will back on Friday with a recipe for you all. 

See you later, Aimee xxx
