Monthly Favourites//May 2015

So last month I posted my April Monthly Favourites and really enjoyed it and also when you think about it getting to know what I've been loving myself. So here is a list of everything I have been loving beauty/non beauty during the month of May.

Summer Clothing HAUL

Lets face it, Summer for me is just an excuse to go shopping and also the fact that I'm off on holiday and my birthday fall around the same time means it's simply impossible to not buy a few summer bits!

So here I have a summery haul for you all, with bits from Topshop, HnM, Asos and Primark. I hope you enjoy!

My Packing Tips

Now I am someone that enjoys packing, I'm not afraid to say it. I love the excitement of getting everything together for a trip and organising it all, obviously I'm no expert but I do have a few tips that I have learnt over the past few years that help me make the most of my suitcase space and also know what I am and aren't allowed to take.

Homeware Wishlist

If there is one thing i love more than clothes and make-up shopping, pizza and tv series, it's homeware! I have been obsessed with everything homey for several years now-I guess it's just because I'm getting older-but every time i see something homey, I want to buy it. I don't have my own home yet-I still live with my dad and younger sister-so I cant exactly fill the house with things only I want (although I try!) but I can get a few bits and bobs for my bedroom, bathroom and the kitchen. This post will also contain some things on the pricier side, that I'd love to one day own, so I hope you enjoy! 

money-free weekend ideas

Now I'm all about saving money when I can but terrible when it comes to spending money on things to do during the week/weekend. Now it depends who I'm with (family/friends/boyfriend) but on days when I have nothing to do I love to go shopping, eating out, going for coffee etc etc and it all cost money-more than I'd like to know-so when I have nothing to do with my days there are a few things I enjoy doing that don't cost money and I am here to share these with you today. 

So if payday hasn't come around yet, you're living off a student loan or just looking to save a bit of money when you can hopefully I have an idea for you here-hope you enjoy!

Mini Lush Haul

Lush has been one of my favourite shops to go into for years now, I remember when the nearest shopping centre to me opened up and walking into Lush for the first time and smelling the most amazing smells and being obsessed with the shower jellies. Now I'm older the obsession hasn't gone and when I first found out that they don't test on animals, everything is fresh and handmade and 100% vegetarian that was all just a bonus! Whenever I am doing some shopping I will most definitely take a look in Lush. Whether I am looking to try something new or stocking up on favourites I'm sure to leave with something, so here is a mini haul from my last shopping trip. 

KIKO Milano-Haul and Review

I'd only ever really seen KIKO products a few times on blog posts/videos and it wasn't a brand I was particularly familiar with. So a few weeks ago I decided to make a few online orders (make-up and skincare posts here) and thought I'd take a look at the KIKO website. The first thing I noticed was the price of products £3.90 for a lipstick, £7.50 for a blush! Normally I do agree with the saying if you spend more the quality is better and a lot of the time this is true but I couldn't resist the low prices!

HAUL//Part Two Skincare

I wont ramble on too much as hopefully you've checked out my part one of this haul all about make-up. This one is for you skincare addicts everything from a face mask, to a gradual tanner! I hope you enjoy!

HAUL//Part One Make-up

Ever since I placed the online orders for all of these products I haven't been able to stop thinking about when I would get a knock at the door to receive all of these goodies, I haven't actually purchased anything apart from maybe a nail polish or concealer since Christmas time, purely because there wasn't really anything I needed and thought I'd try and use up the products I already own. 

Anyway I decided it was time to do a few online orders-I may of gone a bit over board, there's also a big Kiko Cosmetics haul that I will be posting soon! I've decided to turn all of the things I purchased into two posts one for make-up and the other skincare/body just because there might be some people out there that only want to see one or the other. I hope you enjoy! 

48 Questions Tag

So its currently 01:15am and I am up in bed wondering what to do, it has been a few days since I last posted so thought I'd come back with a tag for you to all read and hopefully learn a bit about me. I searched for a while to get some good questions to answer and found these from the blog OrchardGirls-I hope you enjoy!
