(Tanya Burr Cosmetics Illuminating Powder in Champagne Sorbet, £7.49 each, Superdrug) 

Over the month of January (which can I just say, I feel like has been one of the longest months ever), I have been using the highlighting powder from Tanya Burr Cosmetics, it creates the most gorgeous healthy shine on your cheek bones. I have referred to this product before in my ‘Tanya Burr Cosmetics Collection’ blogpost, and I mentioned that the colour is quite pink-toned, and as I am quite pale, the powder does show up but blending works.

I have used this every single day in January, and I don’t intend on changing mascaras any time soon. It creates the most amazing natural lengthened eyelashes, I love the natural look with fluttery individual lashes, but building up layers creates amazing volume. This is definitely a holy-grail product in my everyday makeup look. 

(CAMILA by Camila Cabello) 

I have been waiting for this album for months and months and months. I love Camila’s voice, and she is so incredibly talented with song-writing too. After hearing Havana last year, I was counting down the days for her debut album release. It was originally meant to be called 'The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving', but she changed the title before realising ‘CAMILA’. The album features some dance-y tracks, some ballads, and I can honestly say I love every single song, which is quite rare for a whole album. 

My Top 4 Favourites from CAMILA...

So in the last month I have been to the cinema 3 times, (I watched Pitch Perfect 3 twice, and then The Greatest Showman last Wednesday - I am obsessed with both films, and would definitely recommend them. I would happily watch them again and again - I rarely re-watch a film, and I rarely go to the cinema, but this month has been the month of the cinema. With going to the cinema, means one key thing. Tango Ice Blasts. I have spent an extortionate amount of money on these beverages. THEY ARE THE BEST THING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. They’re my favourite every day of every month of every year, but I don’t tend to have them often, the only time is when I go to the cinema, and this month it just so happened to be three separate occasions, whereas throughout the year, it's very rare. They do 4 different flavours (Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Bubblegum and Orange), I like to mix the flavours (excluding orange because ew), and it’s so good. 

Speaking of the cinema, I had heard about the hype of The Greatest Showman, and last Wednesday I finally went to see it, I had heard amazing things about the soundtrack, but I wanted to wait until I had watched the film before I listened to the songs so its all new to me. I can say I completely understand the hype, and I am obsessed with both the film, and the soundtrack. 

My Top 4 Favourite Songs are:

I have always been obsessed with the TV show ‘Catfish’, but this month the new Series (7) has begun again, and I am loving it. Nev and Max are just so funny, and the show is actually so interesting, I live for the drama on this show. 

It’s no secret that I love a bit of the M&S FoodHall, so when I found out they do a new range of Vegetarian-Friendly sweets, I was so excited to try them out. They are so nice, and I love that they have brought out some jelly-like sweets (similar to Tangfastics) that are suitable for vegetarians; they are currently 4 bags for £1.50 in Marks and Spencer’ FoodHall. 

So obviously I'm really into Blogging, and I follow the Instagram account for 'Blogosphere Magazine', which I absolutely love, and when I saw the Zoella (Issue 11) edition, I really wanted to read it! When I was in the Brighton WHSmith, I was so excited when I happened to notice the magazine propped up randomly in front of a random sports-focused magazine. I'm sure the Blogosphere Magazines are available in the majority of WHSmith stores, but I found it so ironic that I happened to buy it in Brighton (where Zoe lives, and where the interview was written and the photos were shot). I read Zoe's interview whilst waiting for my food to arrive in Bills, and I love the style of the magazine! And although it was £6, its super good quality and full of content!

I also purchased one of the festive Shower Gels, in Frosted Berries. I haven't tried it out as I want to give this to my mum for her birthday as she loves the smell of Cranberries and she loves berry/fruit-infused scents. I absolutely love The Body Shop Shower Gels, as they lather up super well and smell insane. Usually they're £2.50 each, but with the sale, I purchased it for £1.50.

I also purchased two of the Shower Gels for myself, both the Spiced Apple and Vanilla Chai from the festive collection smell amazing. I have already tried the Vanilla Chai, and it smells so lovely and sweet, but it also creates amazing bubbles to cleanse with, as a shower gel should. Both the Spiced Apple and Vanilla Chai Shower Gels should have been £2.50 each, but they were £1.50 with the sale.

When in Brighton last weekend, I went to Primark as I absolutely love their black tights, as they're super soft and completely inexpensive. So along with the tights I picked up, as I was looking around, I saw a NASA fleece-lined jumper. It's super soft, and I love the design on the front, I love NASA, and you should totally check out their Instagram because wow; the jumper was on sale, yes a sale in Primark - it was originally £12, but it was down to £5. I also really needed a new college bag and there was a small hole at the bottom that made me feel on edge, so I just picked up a black bag for just £12!

I couldn't believe it when I saw this in HMV for only £4.99 as this DVD only recently came out, but as the HMV in Brighton was closing down, they had a "Everything Must Go" Sale. I saw this somewhere else the week before, and wanted it immediately as I love Sarah Millican, but it was £14.99, and I wanted to wait until it wasn't brand new on the shelves. So this made me incredibly happy, I practically ran to the till as I thought it was too good to be true.

Walking around the Churchill Square Shopping Centre in Brighton, I walked into the Tiger store, which I know is good for stationary and homeware, as well as unique and random items. As I walked around, I came across a USB light chain, I have been looking for some fairy lights for my desk for a while - for photos for my blog, but when I saw that these lights are connected through the USB of a laptop, I immediately loved the idea. For only £3.50, you can't go wrong.

The other day, I received an email saying that I had spent £50 in Paperchase since opening my Paperchase Membership Card, and they gifted me with £5 for my loyalty to the brand. Paperchase are super generous to their members as they gift £5 for each members' birthday too. So I picked up a pretty little birthday card for my mum, (as I previously mentioned her birthday is very soon). I also wanted to redo a wall in my bedroom, as it was previously quite bare, so I purchased some of the Paperchase graphic postcards, which look adorable together as a collage. 

 

So there was my January Haul! I hope you enjoyed it, and if you want more Lifestyle/Beauty content then sign up to receive an email which tells you when I have uploaded a brand new blog post!
