This year seems to be going far too fast, it’s already the end of May; I’ve sat two exams and have three more to go. I can’t wait for them to be over with so I can drop out of sixth form and get a job. Anyways here are my favourites for this month.

My first favourite is a beauty product and I did post a blog post about it a couple of weeks ago and it’s the Liz Earle Cleanse And Polish Cleanser. I love this product it’s a new product I’ve tried and I instantly fell in love with it, if you would like to see a proper review you can find that post HERE.

My next favourite is another beauty product and it’s the Maybelline Eye Studio Long Lasting Drama Eyeliner. I’ve just recently started using eyeliner and my friend recommended this one to me, so I gave it a go and I love this. It lasts all day and it’s easy to apply, nice bold and solid colour, I own this in black.

Another favourite of mine is this Newlook Black Tote with Black and White stripes down the sides. I’m going on holiday later this year and I thought this bag would be perfect for taking with me for when I’m going down to the pool etc, but I’ve recently been using it for either college or just everyday use and it’s a nice change than having a backpack and especially whilst getting on and off of the metro I find it easier to get my pass out or paying for things.

TV favourites of this month, I know I’ve meant to be revising for exams and that but I’ve found myself starting new TV shows and this time I’ve started to watch The Flash. I started watching this originally when it first got shown on Sky but I stopped watching it and ended up getting sidetracked by other tv shows so I went back and finished season one and I love it. If you love superhero things then you’ll love this.

My other TV favourite is Once Upon A Time I’m on Season three now and I love it so much. I’ve seen a lot of posts about this program on Tumblr and I thought it was about time I jump in and join them and it’s quite an interesting program, quite weird as it involves fairy tale characters like snow white, The Evil Queen and many more but this curse has been put on these characters and they can’t remember who they are and yeah it’s very good.

And my final favourite is a Drink, I’ve started to fall in love with Coffee and I went to Starbucks to do some revision and I tried the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato and the drink is steamed milk with a shot of espresso with the signature crosshatched sauce on top you can get this in three different flavours one being Hazelnut and the other being New Maple. It’s just such a nice sweet drink.

So these have been my favourites of May, what are some of your favourites from this month?

Five TV Programs I Love

1.My top favourite TV program has got to be The Walking Dead, I only started watching this about a couple of months ago and ever since I watched the first episode I was hooked. I honestly watched 4 and a half seasons (as there was 3 episodes left of season 5 that needed to be aired) in 2 and half weeks, I caught up very quick and I love it. If you haven’t seen it it’s basically a zombie apocalypse with some survivors, but it’s so freaking amazing, it’s not all blood and gore but it is very character heavy, the problem is you will end up falling in love with a character then a couple of seasons later they’ll end up dying which is torturous when they’re great characters.

2. My second favourite TV program has got to be Supernatural, if you have been on any aspect of Tumblr then you will have heard of it or at least have seen a gif, I got curious after constantly seeing these ‘Winchester Brothers’ and I thought okay let’s give this ago and I got hooked again pretty quickly there’s 10 seasons so it took ages to catch up, but it’s such a good program, it’s about two brothers that hunt supernatural creatures as part of their fathers family business and a lot happens, but it’s great it’s not all action there’s some humour in it and some episodes will literally make you question if it’s actually a genuine TV program or just some made up thing.

3. My third favourite is Pretty Little Liars, now where to start? It’s so mysterious; you will literally be on the edge of your seat the entire time, so basically about 4 best friends who’s 5^th friend had gone missing also known as ‘Allison’ she is found dead and the 4 girls Aria, Hannah, Spencer and Emily they start getting messages from this anonymous ‘A’ things happen and the newest season 5 things get revealed and it’s just brilliant it’s honestly worth the watch if you love mystery and drama.

4. Fourth favourite is Modern Family I watch this all the time, it’s one of those programs I’ll turn on my tv and have on in the background and I’ve watched over and over again. I love it all the different characters it’s really good, very funny and it’s a great program. It’s about 3 different families who are family so there’s Jay and Gloria with their son Manny. Claire and phil with their three kids Haley,Alex and Luke. The final family is Mitchell and Cam with their adopted daughter Lilly. Jay is Clair and Mitchell’s father and of course this connects the family and it just follows their life’s as a sitcom and it’s hilarious.

5. And my final favourite is another sitcom and of course it’s got to be Friends. I feel like I don’t need to describe it everyone has heard of it and it’s just so funny I’ve been watching friends for as long as I remember it’s been one of those programs I’ve grew up with and I just don’t get sick of it, I love all the characters, it’s all great humour and it’s just a fun feel good TV program.

So these are 5 TV programs that I love, what are some of your favourite TV programs to watch?

Liz Earle Cleanse And Polish Review

So I recently went into boots with the intention of going in and buying some facial wipes and to have a look at some facial cleansers and I came across the Liz Earle stand. I’ve seen many bloggers blog and rave on about the Liz Earle stuff and I didn’t intend on buying anything, but after having a little talk with the woman who was on the stand I decided to buy the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish cleanser with two Muslin cloths. This was £15.50 from Boots.

This cleanser is the iconic cleanser for Liz Earle and has won many beauty awards. The cleanser works by having two phases. The first phase is cleansing any trace of make up or any muck off your face, the second phase is to Polish the cream off with the cloths in the set. The cleanser has some natural ingredients one being cocoa butter and the other Eucalyptus. This is also meant to be suitable for all skin types.

I’ve had this set for a week or so and the first time I used it I completely fell for it. Comparing it to my two Neutrogena cleansers I found straight away my skin felt more hydrated and not at all dried out; this is a problem I usually have after using my other cleansers. My skin looked more radiant and it felt so smooth my skin felt amazing especially since I had a busy day and I was tired my skin felt amazing.  When I first tried using it I had a small little break out on my left cheek that just didn’t seem to be disappearing and after using this cleanser for about 3 times I found it has died down so much that it’s barely noticeable.

This cleanser by far has been the best one I have used and I have tried so many different types of cleansers, I definitely recommend this if you have dry skin and you often find that cleansers dry your face out because this won’t dry it out it will keep your face feeling moisturised and fresh.  This is a product I’m definitely going to be re-purchasing.

For the Liz Earle 100ml cleanser and two muslin cloths it costs £15.50 but just for the 100ml cleanser it costs  £14.

Have any of you tried this product before if so what are your thoughts on it?

Favourite Places In My City

So my first favourite place to visit In Newcastle is the Quayside, I absolutely love to go to the quayside there’s so many restaurants to go to and of course you have the millennium bridge which is really nice to see on a night time as it lights up and on top of that there’s The Baltic which is an art gallery and it’s just a really nice place to take photos and walk around.

 

Another place in Newcastle I love to go to is Eldon Square and Northumberland street which is a shopping centre and a high street, I go here a lot on my breaks during college or if I have an early finish, there’s loads of different shops, food shops etc and near Eldon Square there is an area called monument which has a statue called ‘Grey’s monument’ which is nice to sit at and relax by during the summer whilst your shopping.

Another place I like is kind of just a yearly thing, there’s a park in Newcastle called the Town Moore which well it’s just a land of grass but every year during the last week of June they have a funfair there which is called ‘The Hoppings‘ which I have been to quite a lot, i used to go a lot when I was younger but my parents and I stopped going as it was quite expensive and usually the weather is utter crap whilst it’s here. Literally the fair gets set up and the sky turns grey it happens every year, but I went with my cousin last year and it was really fun I did a post on it which you can find HERE If you’d like to see some pictures and to see my experience.

Another favourite of mine is St James Park which is a football stadium, I find it really cool and the fact that when I was younger I went to the football shop and I met the Newcastle manager (at the time) Kevin Keegan which I got a Newcastle Football shirt signed, also I went to a football match which was just a charity match (England vs. some other team) and I remember it well because of the fact that Sir Bobby Robson was still alive at the time and I saw him sitting on the opposite side of the stadium which was very cool unfortunately a couple of days later the news struck that he had passed away.

My final favourite in my town is based on the pure sight of the area it’s near monument and Eldon Square and it’s called Grainger Street and it’s just such a nice street, the buildings are so nice and it just looks stunning I love the look of the buildings and down the street there’s more high street shops such as Urban Outfitters and Space Nk, etc. but also there’s Grainger’s market which is massive and I’d love to get a picture of the inside you walk through and your hit with so many different smells such as spices or cooked food.

So this is a few of my favourite places to visit in my City, What are some of your favourite places where you live?
