October Favourites

I have been watching so much youtube recently, I'm a little obsessed. But anyway, I was inspired by these to start a new feature... monthly favourites! So here goes...

1. Starbucks Chilled Caramel Macchiato Latte-These things taste amazing! As do the bottled frappuccinos.
2. ABC's Once Upon A Time-I have been watching this show since the very beginning and am totally obsessed. So happy Season 3's finally here!
3. MUA Undressed Palette-This is a beautiful and versatile palette with a great selection of colours.
4. Sara Bareilles Brave, Chasing The Sun and Hercules-Chasing the Sun is my current fave but the other two are close contenders.
5. Maynards Sour Patch Kids- I am so happy that these have arrived in England, they are delicious!
6. Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss stick in Fucshia-ristic- This has long been a favorite of mine as it has the colour of a lipstick but the sheen of a lip gloss with out the stickiness.
7. Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant by Veronica Roth-I am obsessed with these books! I read the first one in 2 days and can't wait to read the third.
8. Compass by Lady Antebellum-I have been a fan of Lady A for a while now but their new single is one of my favourites yet.
9. Loreal Super Liner Perfect Slim in Black Intense- This is my new favourite eyeliner! The tip is so thin and precise and the formula lasts all day. 

And of course I have been obsessed with Katy Perry's new album, 'Prism'!

Let me know your favourites this month in the comments...

My (growing) Lipstick Collection

I seem to be having a bit of any issue at the moment. That issue is makeup. And money. I can't stop buying makeup at the moment. I brought a new eyeliner, two lipsticks and an eyeshadow palette in the last week...

The newest members of the collection are the MUA lipsticks, but I'll be doing a separate review of them after I have used them a bit, as with the palette and eyeliner.

From Left to right-MUA shade 1 and 4, Natural Collection Crimson, Baby Lips pink punch, Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker lip gloss in Fuchsia-Ristic, Rimmel London Kate Moss lasting finish lipstick shade 16, Miss Sporty Hard Candy, I Love and Bubble Gum.

So far I love the MUA and Kate Moss lipsticks. The Soap and glory one is more of a lip gloss so its a tad sticky which annoys me because my hair sometimes gets stuck to it, which is the main reason I don't really wear lip gloss, but i do love. The baby lips is a great lip balm but the colour doesn't show up much. The miss Sporty ones aren't very good at all. I only bought them because I wanted a bright pink one for a party and they were on 3 for 2 so I just brought 3.Which I know is not a very good way to shop. Finally, the Natural Collection one is quite good, very moisturizing but not very long lasting.

Compared to most people I know my collection Isn't very big, but I do still love it .

Considering MUA is the cheapest of all of them at just £1, they definitely have my favourite packaging, though I do like the Kate Moss packaging too. I also think that the two mentioned are my favourites formula-wise as well.

Let me know if you have tried any of these lipsticks or shades...
