June Favourites
It feels like forever since I've done a favourites post, and with this one I want to start writing it with a different format than I've written it before. While I've normally added a little non-beauty products to my favourites posts, from here on out, each month I want to combine all aspects of my life into a favourites post...mix it up a little, y'know.
beauty.
SO, I'm just going to drive right into it! My ultimate favourite this month has been my Makeup Revolution FLAWLESS palette, 32 shades and slowly but surely each one is getting a battering! But as you can see I've mainly been using the copper, red & black colours. I've been having so much fun creating new smokey eye looks, literally I'm in love. (If your interested you can look at all my recently looks on my personal instagram, here). Back in May, I popped into Benefit for my first Brow Bar Wax...well my first ever wax & it was so much better than I expected. During May, payments went to charity and everyone was given a free GIMME BROW as a thank-you. I adore this little product & I'm glad I finally got my hands on this little thing! Now I bet you're all the same as me and you're in love with the COLOUR DRAMA lip pencils, well lately I'm bloody obsessed with the shade NUDE PERFECTION. Also, I'm sure every blogger on twitter got involved in choosing a product from Tesco Beauty, I chose the Max Factor FALSE LASH EFFECT and it's AMAZING! Honestly, I love mascara and I awaited this product with high expectations and yes, amazing! My final beauty product is the Victoria Secret body mist in PURE SEDUCTION, I picked 5 for £30 in Victoria Secret last month & I've been in love with each scent I picked up...& you've got the chance to win your own body mist as part of my GIVEAWAY - ending next week!
tv, films & (occasionally books).
I have so much love for tv series & films lately that I just HAD to share them with you. Some old favourites and some new loves. Now I actually wrote about many of these on a previous post not too long ago, my Netflix favourites - so you can find a more in depth report, here. It took me a total of 12 days to watch the first two series of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK & 2 days to almost complete season 3 (for some reason I put the final few episodes on hold because I didn't want it to end). With OITNB, I've also been sharing my time with watching ONCE UPON A TIME, both such amazing tv series. I also picked up the final seasons of ONE TREE HILL during this month and I'm yet to re-watch all 9 seasons, so while I've not watched it...there is still a huge place in my heart for this series and it'll be a favourite whether I watch it or not. I won't go into too much detail with the films this month as I'm writing a seperate post, however I've watch SPY, MR HOLMES & JURASSIC WORLD in the space of two weeks and I was obsessed. I also had a few sick days this month and binged watched Netflix films & fell in love with SOUL SURFER & fell in love with LILO & STITCH for the 1,000th time!
everything else.
So to my final little section. Everything else, the bit that's don't fit into other categories. I'm keeping this short and sweet this month. My scrapbooking took a break these last few months & to bring back my love for my scrapbooking. So I ordered my photos (and already I have new ones to print) and picked up some new packs of journalling cards. For any scrapbook lovers, WE R MEMORY KEEPERS create fabulous little sets from 20 cards - 100. And the fact I can pick some of them up at a better price from TK Maxx makes everything the much more exciting. I CAN'T wait to put these to good use and make my scrapbook pretty!
what I got up to.
I guess I could say nothing too exciting happening during this month, then I'd be lying a little. While not much happened, I spent time with some of my favourite people...and you can never complain about that! So if you're unaware one of my part-time jobs is working behind the bar at a gay bar in Birmingham and this time last month was PRIDE 2015. So I started the month with everyone from work celebrating the achievements we managed during that busy weekend. I got to travel to Sheffield and see my blogging besties (love you girls), took Tom to the Zoo, watched many films at the cinema, travelling to Liverpool with work for a night out...and I got drunk a few more weekends in between, with old friends and new.

OMG I thought the MUR palette was a MAC one at first! I haven't tried any of their larger palettes but have a few of the smaller ones. I DEFINITELY need to get my hands on one though I've heard such good things! Lyd x

I've not had much time this month to watch too many more episodes of OUAT but whenever I get the chance I'll pop an episode on :) I can't believe I enjoyed Jurassic World as much as I did ha.
