Monthly Favourites | November 2014

OH MY GOD ITS NEARLY DECEMBER. Can you believe it? But here's what I've been loving in the month of November.

Book Review | Thief (The Scarab Beetle Series) By C.L. Stone

I have to say this is one book I wouldn't have normally read but I am glad I did. 

My Picks | Berry Lips

First of all, you will probably notice a few changed to the pictures in the next months posts. This is because my father and I share a camera which he decided to take on his holiday leaving me to use my less adept camera. I've tried editing them so they look alright, but I'm well aware they aren't up to the usual standard. Plus I schedule posts in advance, the good pictures will be back shortly - do not fret!

Sine the beginning of Autumn or Fall all I have heard from the beauty YouTubers and Bloggers are berry lips. So here are my picks for berry lips which I use all through the year.

Under Inspection | Loreal Micellar Solution

During my early days into the blogging world I heard a lot about Micellar Waters - the most raved about being Bioderma. I would never had thought to purchase anything like this if it hadnt been for the beauty YouTubers and Bloggers out there, so I'd just like to thank them for the fact I still have eyelashes. Make Up wipes do not remove all your make up, but this can. 

Mini Book Haul

The other day I stumbled into Waterstones. Thats a lie, I walked in with the intention of just seeing what books were around and to see if there were any that took my fancy - THEN I saw buy one get one half price.

Book Review | The Immortal Crown by Richelle Mead

One day I won't have any of her books left to read... Probably wot happen as she is writing more by the day and I haven't even read her beginning series yet! Have you read them?

Hey it's Okay... I Get Stressed Too

Recently I have been having a lot of stressful days. I come home from work unmotivated, I'm lazy and quite frankly I don't want to do anything but sleep away the stresses of the day. I had writers block and then it hit me - a friend once told me to write something more personal so here is something a little more personal.

Birch Box | November 2014

This week I thought I would do my Birchbox post a little differently. With NaNoWriMo on the go I am feeling very creative and I thought I would roll with it and let it take me where it may.

Today marks 11 whole months of Birchbox and Mine's relationship. While it had been rocky with its ups and down this month it had really impressed me.

Under Inspection | No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser

I had never thought about using a cleanser to remove my make-up before, but then I watched Zoella's vlog where she told Gabby how quick and easy it was. This appealed to my lazy side and so I decided to give it a go. Not wanting to spend too much money on a high end one I headed over to No7 and picked up this beauty for £9.95.

Wishlist | November

How is it November already? We are so far in that it'll be next year far too soon! Anyone else feel this year is going past too quickly? I feel like I've done nothing this year, but here we are again with another wishlist.

Book Review | Golden Lily by Richelle Mead

Sometimes I ask myself why I read, and then I finish a book and smile. 

Top Ten TV Shows

This month I am sharing my favourite TV shows. With all my hobbies and courses that I'm doing it's nice to have something on in the background. Not that I don't get distracted I do, and somehow I still manage to run a blog pretty successfully, plan posts in advance, do home learning and work full time. It's a miracle - which will end when everyone comes back from University at Christmas!

Plymouth Photo Shoot | Diana Part 2

Hopefully I didn't leave too long in between these posts as there are two more to come! However, here is part two of Diana's time on the shoot.

Under Inspection | Estee Lauder Brush Cleaner

Something a little different on the blog today - not just make up! Us beauty lovers needs tools too. This brush cleaner seems to be the best one I've come across. 

Not Your Usual Blog Post #2 | Alfie Deyes Vlog - 6th November 2014

I have been waiting for something like this ever since I wrote about Chloe Hamilton slandering Zoe/Zoella in her writing. Honestly I never thought I would get the chance to write another one of these Blog Posts here we are again. As you can tell from the recycled top image I was not prepared for this. 

As a subscriber to BOTH Zoe and Alfie I feel, as well as the Human Rights Act, I am allowed to speak my opinion and voice my concerns. 

What I Want To Watch | November

This month is a poor show for cinema films being released - or so I could find. 

Books | Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas

Sometimes I like to plunge myself into other worlds and today I'm going to share that with you.

November TBR

November is all about the blue books. I did not intend for this to be but somehow all the books I have chosen have blue covers. 

My Good Day

When I go into a shop normally I am severely disappointed by the people who work there. People don’t seem to have that ‘charm’ about them anymore they just exist, they just work. I’ve been in Tesco buying food and although it’s not the most exciting place to work if I have the entire checkout full of groceries I expect some sort of human interaction. Nothing too deep or personal. Just a chat, a good old honest chat. Say hello and see what happens, tell me to have a good day after I have paid – don’t sit there in silence and throw my receipts at me!

Under Inspection | Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Liner

These little beauties have captivated and enhanced my lips in so many ways. Plus they come in a range of colours which can go with any lip colour you choose.
