Weekly Favourites.

I have decided to start a regular weekly post, every Sunday I will publish a list of my favourite things for the week including; Make-up, Skincare, Haircare, Fashion, Food and TV.

I thought it would be a good way to get to know me and easier to digest, then one huge blog post at the end of each month housings what could turn into double figures of my favourite things. Its also something nice you guys can look forward to each week on a Sunday when you have nothing better to do!...



Make-up Product: Topshop Matte lipstick Black Widow

So lets begin, this week I would have to say my favourite make-up product would have too be the Topshop Matte lipstick in Black Widow, the colour is a deep purple, very similar to Mac Heroine, most days this week I have picked this up to wear. Its not a everyday subtle colour but for some reason I cant stop wearing it!, normally I used to be too scared to wear anything like this, the darkest colour I own is Mac Rebel (a more of a pinky, purple colour) once I wore Black Widow for the first time I fell in love! the pigmentation is great, it doesn't dry my lips out and it lasts for ages! also its very versatile, you can wear it day and night. It certainly is now one of my favourite winter lipsticks and will always be in my make-up bag.

Skincare Product: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo

This has been in daily use in my skincare routine this week, it is kind of a cheating favourite as I have been using it for months now, but this is a constant repurchase and hands down worth every penny (although it isn't that expensive compared to other skincare brands). I have very oily skin so I am always reluctant to moisturise which I know is very bad as it is the most important thing to do. I have found this cream makes my skin feel a lot smoother and has reduced the redness of my scars and blemishes, it has also helped to control my breakouts which has made this a staple for my skincare routine. Its also great as you only need a small amount at a time which can cover your whole face which makes the bottle last longer.

Haircare Product: Pro:Voke Touch of Silver Brightening Shampoo

Choosing a hair product was quite hard as I am not one who is bothered by what brands I use or what serums or sprays I use, normally I just shove any shampoo or conditioner on and dry my hair! but for anyone who has blonde in their hair, they will know that a good silver shampoo is a staple to have in your bathroom. I recently had my hair ombre with blonde at the bottom and have been trying to keep the brassiness controlled and minimised, it is safe to say this is doing the trick! you only need to use this twice a week, you just leave it to sit in your hair for five minutes, wash it out and you can see a visible difference within the first few washes.

Fashion Item: Tartan Scarf

All week I have grabbed one of my three tartan scarves as I have walked out the door, not only are they super cosy and keep you warm in the harsh cold winters, they look great with almost every outfit!
Having three in different colours allows me to wear one with what ever I have on that day. My favourite of the three is surprisingly the cheapest one I have and it was £5 from Primark! absolute bargain I know! its a lovely deep blue with mustard and red colours running through it, the reason it is my favourite is because it is so thick and snuggley and also a lot larger then the other two I own, and at the minute I'm in love with anything oversized!.

Food: Non - Fat Greek Yoghurt

I have been addicted to this stuff this week, every morning I have it with a drizzle of honey and granola or with fresh fruit, its such a refreshing thing to have in the morning and is a good healthy option. For someone like me who doesn't like to make breakfast it is also very quick and easy to do. I have also loved having it as a snack with fruit when I'm a bit peckish instead of raiding the biscuit tin.

Television: Gogglebox (Channel 4)

For those of you who do not know what Gogglebox is, its a programme which records other people like families and couples watching the TV programmes that have been on in the week Its absolutely hilarious sometimes, watching the way different people and families reacting to different things that their watching, my favourite people in it this series have to be Sandra and Sandy, they have me in stitches every time they are on! I'm sure it would be a great laugh to have them in your living room!

So there it is, my first every weekly favourites! I quite enjoyed writing this as you tend to forget how much you love products and use them until you actually sit down and think about it!

Let me know what your favourites are this week?
Anything you want me to try out and review for you?
