April Must-Haves 2018

  
Good afternoon! Seeing as I upload on a Monday and as it is the last day of the month I guessed that today would be the perfect day to do my monthly Must-Haves!

1.
You may have seen that, a couple of weeks ago, on twitter, I uploaded a picture of my nails painted with a sparkly blue (https://twitter.com/@EllyCuriousWord). Unfortunately for me, I had to use two items to create the effect and it wasn't quite as simple as just putting one on. However, I absolutely LOVED the look and so, here they are:

The sparkly nail varnish, as you can see, was from Claire's Accessories and can be found here: https://www.claires.com/blue-sparkle-glitter-nail-polish-12419.html?. Also, the darker one came from Wild and Crazy which, I couldn't find anywhere- Sorry!

To go alongside these, I have been loving the nail varnish removal wipes which claim to be good for your nails too, which is a bonus, right?

A book that I have been reading and enjoying a lot this month happened to be Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I won't give away any spoilers but it's about a girl who goes to university and struggles to settle in. This book is an amazing story and can be found: https://www.waterstones.com/book/fangirl/rainbow-rowell/9781447263227

My mini eyeshadow palette has been starred before in a Must-Haves post but not for the same reason. I realised, earlier on this week, (don't know why I hadn't thought of this before) that a few of these shades can be used as a highlight/blush. My favourite combination to use is the lightest one for highlight- I've never looked back since!

This. Concealer. Is. Brilliant. It lightens up dark areas and covers blemishes so well that you can barely tell that it's there.  http://www.boots.com/rimmel-wake-me-up-concealer-10137963

In my 'Shopping In The City' haul (https://ellycuriouswords.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/shopping-in-city.html), I mentioned these clear hair elastics. This month, I have been able to create SO MANY more interesting hairstyles without having a huge, hair bobble ruining the look all thanks to these. For anybody with long hair that loves trying out new styles, I reccomend getting some of these! 




6.

April has included Easter, this year so there 100% had to be at least one chocolate-related item... and this particular easter egg happens to be from one of my favourite Easter Egg brands. CHOKABLOCK create the craziest, tastiest easter eggs I've ever come across. Most have sweets on the front of the egg and the chocolate itself tends to have a flavour so it's not just plain. 


7.

Something quite different that I have also tweeted about is Natalie Alzate's (Natalies Outlet) new podcast #Viral. I came across this through spotify and have listened to all the episodes back-to-back and am now waiting impatiently for the next one 😆. She speaks to famous youtubers about virtually everything and I think it's really interesting. You can find it on ITunes and Spotify. Go check it out!

Last but not least... my new shampoo. This is the Superdrug Coconut and Sweet Almond Extracts Shampoo and Conditioner for dry/damaged hair. I don't have dry or damaged hair but I beleive that occasionally you should use a shampoo for regenerating hair. This shampoo outlived my expectation and has made my hair soft and silky.

January Must Haves 2019

How has your new year been so far? I'm pretty sure I slept through January as I honestly have no idea where it went. This month the weather started gloomy, but then right at the end the sun began to shine a bit longer and light snow not only filled the sky but also covered the paths roads and grass to create many photography opportunities. February is going to be a very exciting month for me and I can't wait to share bits of it with you!  One of my new year's resolutions was to learn more about skincare and improve my routine and my skin itself so as you could tell from my December Must Haves , I had begun a collection of products but January really boosted this and now I have a few more items to share with you. Clearasil and Simple play a big part in this post only because I love both brands so much and they work wonders for my skin! P.s. the best product is the last one so keep reading to find out what it is! Simple Protecting Light Moisturiser In winter I do

September Must Haves

Image
Hey! Yes, I did have a little break- please excuse me! I was very busy working on some very exciting posts to keep you up-to-date with my autumnal antics! 😂 As you might already know, autumn just happens to be my favourite season because of the colours and just the general atmosphere so I was extremely excited to get to work on these posts!  Can we just speak about how it is the end of September already!? It feels like the start was only last week! What did you guys manage to jam-pack into September? This month has been great for collecting stuff to go in my Must-Haves because it has been my birthday! Enjoy! 1. Morphe 350 Nature Glow Palette This has some beautiful earthy colours for autumn; my favourites are the darker browns and slightly orangey tones. All colours are extremely blendable and have great pigmentation- it caught me off guard because I'm used to my palette without much, so I put quite a lot on and it looked as if I'd been punched in the face 😂. I

Update! - What's In My Makeup Bag May 2018

Hi everybody!!! I am so excited for you guys to see this post because I'm so proud of it! Now, I think it's about the right time to share with you what's in my main makeup bag at the moment. All the items that are shown here, I think, have been featured in previous posts but that was always going to happen anyway because all the items in my makeup bag are ones which I love so I would've recommended them before to you guys! If you do enjoy this, please remember to share with friends!!! Also- just a quick note- instead of linking the products at the bottom of the page, all the green words, you can click on to go to that webpage- tell me if it works! As you can see, in this photo, I have a snippet of my makeup bag showing which is from Next and is a decent size and I just think it's so pretty- it also has a gold 'E' on the front- you can choose the symbol you want. The first item in the bag is my foundation which is the Rimmel London Lasting Finish
