Worst of January 2015

Like I said in my January favourites post, every month I am going to be doing a worst of post, where I talk about the things that I haven't liked so much this month. In my January favourites post I also stated that I had prepared this post beforehand, so I apologise of its in a bit of a random order.

The first thing that I didn't like this month is a TV show. The TV show is The Missing. I really did not like this TV show. The first two episodes were okay, however the rest of them I found really boring and depressing. I also found the ending of the show was pretty rubbish.

The second thing that I didn't like was a film. The film was The Wolf of Wall Street. My brother kept pestering me to watch it, he said that it was a good film, and that it is probably his favourite film, however I didnt like it that much, I found it pretty boring. No offence to anyone if they like this film, but I just didn't like it.

The third thing that I haven't been loving this month is a body butter. It is the Fearne body butter from her Mini Collection. I like the smell of the product, however I really do not like the consistency of the product. The consistency is thick not creamy like other body butters that I have used. Also the body butter is not very moisturising like all of the others that I have used.

The next thing that I haven't liked too much this month is another TV show. I apologise if some of you reading this like the TV show but this is just my opinion on it. The TV show is Sons of Anarchy. I started watching it this month, and to be honest I am not a big fan of it. I find that it is quite boring. However, I will watch the rest of it as I don't like starting a TV show and then not finishing it, regardless of whether I like it or not. So even though I don't like it too much I will finish watching every season.

The last thing that I haven't been loving is completely random. I have absolutely been hating college this month. It has been stressing me out so much. I got an extra lesson on Monday's. On a Monday my day used to be 10:00am until 2:30pm. Now it is 10:00am until 4:45pm. The day is just so long and on a Thursday my day is 9:00am until 5:00pm. I have also been hating the assignments that I have veen getting. It isn't the amount of assignments that I hate, it is the time that we get to do the assignments. We only get a week per assignment for most of the assignments, which would be OK if the assignments weren't do hard. The long days at college also make me so tired and the lessons are so boring. I got given an assignment earlier this month, and we had only had 2 lessons on what the assignment was about, so I didn't understand anything that in was writing and I will most likely fail that assignment, because I have no idea if anything that I have written is correct.

Anyway that concludes my Worst of January 2015 post. I hope it isn't too boring.

January Favourites 2015

Today I thought that I would post my January favourites post. I know it isn't the end of January yet, but I wanted to get this post up and I won't be using any new things enough the rest of this month for them to be a favourite.

Normally every month I only do monthly favourites posts, but starting this month I am also going to do a worst of type post, where I will talk about the things that I have not been liking in that specific month. However there may not be a lot of things that I haven't liked but there is bound to be a few so I will still talk about them.

I apologise that this is in a bit of a random order, I prepared it throughout the month so as I used something  watched something etc I would prepare what I was going to say about it on this post as I knew it would be a favourite of mine. It is the same for my worst of post and it probably will be for the rest of my favourites and worst of posts, as I find it a lot easier, than writing it all at once.

Anyway this is my January favourites post and I will post my Worst of January post in a few days.

The first thing that I have been loving this month is a song. I first heard this song when Ben Haenow sang it on the X Factor. When he sang it I thought it was a good song, so this month I decided to listen to the original and I have just been loving it and I have had it on repeat a lot this month. Anyway the song is Demons by Imagine Dragons.

The second thing that I have been loving is a concealer. It is the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. I have been using it everyday that I have been wearing makeup and I just absolutely love it.

The next two things that I have been loving this month is two hand creams. The first one is the Fearne hand cream from her mini collection and the second is the Soap & Glory Hand Food. I have been alternating between the two throughout the month and I love both of them. I will definitely have to repurchase the S & G hand food in full size as I love it so much. However I won't be able to repurchase the Fearne Hand Cream because it only comes as a part of her Mini Collection.

The next three things that I have been loving this month are all by Soap & Glory. The first is The Righteous Butter, body moisturiser. This body butter is absolutely amazing and it smells amazing too. The second thing is the Soap & Glory Clean on Me creamy moisture shower gel. This too is amazing and it too smells amazing. The last thing is actually quite a bit random. It is a body puff ( that's what I call them , anyway they are the things you tend to get in a gift set with shower gel) . It was in the Soap & Glory set that I got for Christmas, anyway it is just really big and I just love using it. (Sorry if that's random).

The next thing that I have been loving is a TV Show. It is Pretty Little Liars. I have always loved this show since I started watching it, it has always been amazing but recently it has been even more amazing.

The next thing that I have been loving this month is a body mist. Earlier this month I bought the Jack Wills body mist trio, and throughout this month I have been using the Hope Cove body mist, it smells amazing and I can't wait to try out the other two that came in the set.

The next thing I have been loving is a book. The book is Chris Jericho's third autobiography , which is titled The Best In The World At What I Have No Idea. I literally love this book and sometimes I laugh to myself because some of the stories in this book are funny.

The last thing that I have been loving this month is a lip balm. It is the ChapStick in Original. My lips have been very dry this month so I have been wearing lip balm a lot and I have been reaching  for this ChapStick a lot and I love it.

So that concludes my January favourites post. I apologise if it is too long and I will post my Worst of January 2015 post in a few days.

Liebster Award

Okay so I was nominated to do the Liebster award the other day by Makeup by Meggy. I cannot be bothered to follow all of the rules.

Anyway here are the rules:

Thank and link the person who nominated you.
Answer the questions given by the nominator.
Nominate 11 other bloggers (who have less than 200 followers) and link them.
Create 11 new questions for the nominees to answer.
Notify all nominees via social media/blogs.

Okay so like I said I am not going to follow all of these rules, as I just want to get this post over and done with. I mentioned who nominated me but I couldn't be bothered to link her blog (sorry Im too lazy). I will answer all the questions. I will create new questions for nominees. But I can't be bothered to choose 11 people to nominate, so if you are reading this post and you have less than 200 followers then I nominate you.

My answers:

What's something you can't live without? My phone. I cannot live without my phone. I have to have it on me at all times, it has to be in my pocket or right next to me, at all times, apart from when it is on charge in the day, but Im okay with that because I know exactly where it is.

What was/ is your favourite subject in school? When I was in school I absolutely loved History. I really just liked learning about the past and stuff. I also liked Maths.

Favourite animal? Cats. I love cats. Knowing me one day I will probably be like the cray cat lady from The Simpsons.

If you could live any where in the world where would it be? California. I don't know why but ever since I was younger I have wanted to live in California. And I still want to live there.

Who's your favourite youtuber? This is actually quite hard. I love so many youtubers so I will just mention a few of them. Danisnotonfire, ThatcherJoe, Zoella, Lauren Curtis, Tanya Burr etc.

Favourite quote? My favourite quote is " If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously punch them in the face, and go get some ice cream." I love this quote.

What is your favourite way to spend your spare time? On the internet, watching TV and sometimes reading.

What is your favourite makeup or clothing brand? I don't really have a favourite clothing brand. And I haven't really used many makeup brands, I think I have only properly used three (Maybelline, Natural Collection and Rimmel), I want to try more. So I would probably say out of these three I prefer Rimmel, although I have only ever used three products from Rimmel, so far. Anyway my current favourite makeup brand is Rimmel, I want to try a lot more makeup brands, I also want to try the higher end makeup brands too.

What is the best holiday you have been on? Okay, so I haven't actually been on holiday before, which I know is weird, but the furthest that I have been away from Guernsey, is Jersey. Even though that was only a day trip, out of all of the other islands that I have visited Jersey was my favourite.

Who is your beauty inspiration? I have no idea

What is your biggest dream for your future? Umm. I guess it will be to Meet Dylan O'Brien if that happens, then I will be able to die happy.


My Questions for you:

1. Who is your favourite youtuber?
2. What is your favourite TV show?
3. What is your dream job?
4. When did you start your blog?
5. What is your favourite film?
6. What type of music do you like?
7. Who is your favourite author?
8. What celebrity do you really want to meet?
9. What is your favourite animal?
10. What is your favourite quote?
11. What is something you can't live without?

So this concludes this post. I apologise that there is no picture, and I apologise that I didn't follow all of the steps. So I nominate any one that is reading this, that has less than 200 followers, and wants to do it. I also know that some of these questions, I answered myself, but I found it hard to think of questions.

The first one I have been listening to a lot throughout 2014, the second was only released in November and the last was released in October.

2014 Beauty Favourites

It is already the fourth day of 2015. So I thought I would do a post on my 2014 favourites. I am going to do two posts one being my beauty favourites of 2014 and the other being my non beauty favourites. I decided to do two otherwise this post will be too long. All of the pictures that I got are from the internet because the pictures I take are always rubbish so I decided to use pictures from the internet. Anyway this is my 2014 beauty favourites.


Makeup

Foundation: I have two favourite foundations that I have been using in 2014 one of them I only started using towards the end of 2014 though. The first foundation I mentioned in my November favourites post. It is the Maybelline Nude air foam foundation. I used this foundation throughout November and it was amazing, it ran out within a month which kind of sucks. I had the foundation for ages but I had never used it until then. So then I had to purchase a new foundation which I have used pretty much everyday throughout December. It is the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I love this foundation a lot and I will probably keep using it pretty much everyday until it runs out.

Powder: I have two powder favourites that I have been using and loving in 2014. The first is the Natural Collection Pressed Powder. I absolutely love this powder and unfortunately I have used it all. The second powder I have only been using for a couple of months but I have had it for ages. I also mentioned it in my November favourites post. It is the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder. I have nearly finished using this powder but luckily I purchased a second one at the same time.

Mascara: I have one mascara favourite of 2014. It is the Rimmel Scandal Eyes by Kate Mascara in the shade Eye Rock Jet Black. I have been using it a lot throughout 2014 except from in the last couple of months.

Lip Products: I have three favourite lip products of 2014. The first is a lipstick and it is the Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in the shade 26. I don't normally wear lipstick but I have made an exception quite a few times for this lipstick and I absolutely love it. I also have two lip balm favourites. The first is the Nivea Caramel Cream lip butter and the second is the Maybelline Baby Lips in Mint Fresh. I have been using both of these a lot since I got them and I absolutely love them.


Face and Body: I have been loving three products for my face and one for my body the face products are the : Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturiser, The Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser and the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub. The body product is the Jergens Daily Moisture body moisturiser.


Hair: I have been loving two hair products in 2014 both of which I have mentioned in my November favourites post. The first is a dry shampoo and it is the Insette Dry Shampoo in Blossom. The second product is a detangler and it is the Toni & Guy Prep Smoothing Detangler.


Perfume: I have one perfume that I have been using a lot recently and been loving. I have had for over a year. I got it for my 16th birthday and I am now 17. The perfume is the One Direction Our Moment Perfume, which is their first one. I used to love One Direction, but I am not really a big fan of theirs anymore but I do really like their first perfume and I would like to try their other two perfumes.


That is all of my 2014 beauty favourites. If you are reading this I hope you enjoy it. I will also be posting my 2014 non beauty favourites.
