I don't think that I have uploaded a monthly favourites video in a while. So instead of doing just a January favourites, I thought that I would do an overall 'Things I've been loving' so I have decided that today I would make a massive thing of amazing stuff :D
Fashion
I haven't really been getting a lot of new clothes recently so there isn't much in this 'section' but I did get some really soft 'lounging bottoms' which are basically just comfy Christmas leggings that I just walk around the house in when I get home from school. I really like them, I think they have a cute pattern but I do know a few people don't like them but no one by me and my parents really see them so it doesn't matter, plus, I like them and I don't care what other people think ;)
They were a Christmas present from my elderly neighbours and they also bought me a really nice top/jumper with a collar made of lace and [fake] pearls. They are both from Primark and I think that the leggings were £10 and the top was £12. BTW, is it just me, or is Primark getting more expensive?
I've also been wearing my woolen beanie a lot. I'm not sure if it's a bobble hat or a beanie because it does have a bobble on the end but it could still be classed as a beanie (?). This was also a Christmas present from my friend Zoƫ and I love it! The hat was from New Look and I picked it out myself, it is cream and baby pink with a woven pattern running through it. Incredibly comfy and cute!
Make Up
Again, not many new products but some great ones none-the-less! One new thing that I have bought was a new foundation, it is from Seventeen and it's the Sheer Moisture foundation with SPF 15 in Light. I use this for school because it has a light coverage but gives my skin moisture. For some reason when I walked into Boots I saw a display that showed a few products from No.7 and Seventeen. The reason that I bought this foundation is because it was £6 down to £1. ONE POUND!!! How amazing is that! There was nothing wrong with it, it was perfectly new, so I bought it and I'm very glad that I did.
The second product is also quite new and skin related, it's the Wake Me Up concealer in Ivory. I love this concealer so much. I know that people prefer different concealers for different reasons but this is the best one I've tried. I love that this concealer gives great coverage under the eye and brightens my face in the morning so I don't look like a walking zombie! I have the matching foundation but I find that that is more for summer than winter so I'll use that more in the future.
Finally for Make Up I have my MAC eye shadow in Satin Taupe. I love this eye shadow so much, I think it's amazing and a very wearable colour. Many beauty bloggers (and vloggers) rave about this and I can see why! I got this eye shadow a couple of months back and I really loved it then, but I got it in the Summer so I wasn't at school and was wearing eye shadow more frequently but then I went back to school and at the weekends I didn't really bother with eye shadow and what-not but recently I have rediscovered it's amazingness. Satin Taupe is a frost eye shadow which means that has a slight shimmer but not so much that it isn't natural.
Music
For some reason I've been listening to a lot more music recently, but my iPod has broken so I can't really listen to music on that and I have a really rubbish Blackberry Curve and it won't let me download my own music or any from YouTube or any other websites, which is annoying. But I have created a YouTube playlist and added all of my favourite songs at the moment and this is what I found on there: (In no particular order)
1) Boys in Books are better - Carrie Hope Fletcher
2) The 2013 Song - Troye Sivan
3) Love is on the Radio - McFly
4) Half a Heart - One Direction
5) Does He Know - One Direction
6) Don't Forget Where You Belong - One Direction
7) Strong - One Direction
8) Through the Dark - One Direction
9) Midnight Memories - One Direction
10) Little Black Dress - One Direction
11) Little White Lies - One Direction
12) My Thoughts on Google+ - Emma Blackery
13) The 2012 Song - Troye Sivan
14) Royals - Lorde
15) Wayfaring Stranger - Ed Sheeran
As you can see I am a bit of a One Direction fan, but since their new album, Midnight Memories, I have been listening to their music non-stop. I don't have the album which makes me very sad but I will hopefully get it sooner rather than later.
Carrie Hope Fletcher, Troye Sivan and Emma Blackery are all YouTubers and I love all of their video's. I've already talked about Carrie to you and I will link that HERE.
Random
Instagram. If you don't have it already you must be living under a rock because it is a very popular social-media app that is available on the App Store for free :) but it's different from the others because you share pictures with captions and you can comment and like pictures. I have made a new account which is more cute and girly with, thankfully, no selfies or anything like that, juts beauty products and things I love :D
Fairy Lights. I have 2 sets of fairy lights in my room and I would love to have more but I can't find any nice fairy lights that are cheap-ish. I would love to have them wound around my bed frame by my head *ohhhTheTumblr* but I would need to have battery charged ones because there isn't a socket there :( I do have some at the end of my bed and I bought them from Poundland and I really like them but because I have have plug them in when ever I want to turn it on and take it out when I want to turn it off then it becomes annoying to use. The other set that I have isn't really a set, it's just s bundle of real or fake (I can't tell) twigs with some fairy lights wound around it. Sounds weird but I put it in a cute china holder type thing and think it looks really cute :)
That's all for today, sorry I didn't post on Saturday, I thought I had one scheduled but obviously not. Please comment what you would like me to post about next :D
Hugs and kisses
Liv xoxo
