Happy Sunday!! It's unreal how excited I am about the fact I am doing my June favs! I say this every month but how on earth are we half we through the year. My holiday and birthday are so close and I can't believe it. This month I only have gathered a few favourites.

Number one, The Fab Pore moisturiser. I have been looking everywhere for a good moisturiser. I have really combination skin so i find it difficult to find one that didn't break me out and doesn't make me oily.

I went for Soap and Glory again since they have done wonder to my skin. It absorbs quickly into my skin and makes my make-up apply nicely. It has Poreshrink -12h which is very gentle on my skin, Superfruit Yuzu which helps tones and brightens my skin, it has also helped with my break out.

Another product I have loved for my skin is the Clearasil Rapid Action Scrub. I use this in the morning and after I take my make-up off. It makes my skin feel so soft and very clean. I love Clearasil products and just like Soap and Glory products they do amazing things to my skin.

Having good exfoliated skin is key in the summer. Both on the face and on the body. So my third fav is the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub. The smell is super summery and fresh. I seen it in Tanya burr latest video and had to try it. Having used Fake Tan this month I need a great body scrub/ exfoliater. This is perfect and is deffo a must have this summer.

The fourth thing I have been loving is Miley Cyrus Viva Glam lipstick.

I purchased this back in February when the collection came out. I wasn't sure whether I could pull of the bright colour but I absolutely love it. It is such a fun party colour. I absolutely adore the texture of this lipstick, it last for quite a long time and looks amazing.

The last thing I HAVE to mention is TAYLOR SWIFT. Seeing her last Tuesday has made me love her 100x more (if that is possible). Her songs, performance, personality.. Aka everything is perfect. If you get a chance to see her live I woken highly recommend!!! If you want to see what I make-up I wore I did a blog post here.

Like I have mention 100x I am going on holiday very soon,

I will try to keep this blog updated as much as possible.

I am hoping to blog when I am in America but it may only be once a week.

I will keep you posted.

Let me know your June favourites?

Hey lovelies, so I was lucky enough to see Taylor Swift last night in Glasgow.

I thought I would do something a little different and I would show you what make-up products I I wore. Unfortunately I never got a picture of my make-up, but these are the products.

Left -Right. Top-Bottom

The Fab Pore by Soap and Glory.

I finally found a perfect moisturizer for my skin. It is amazing.

Mac Natural Finish Powder in Medium.

I use this for my bronzer and it gives a very natural contour

Mac Cinderella Highlighter.

This gives the prettiest shimmer on your skin.

Two Faced La Belle Carousel.

I used Angel Hair and Haute Chocolate. Angel Hair is a gorgeous gold for all over my lid as well as on my lower lash, while I used Haute Chocolate in my crease.

Mac Hip'n'Happy Lip Liner.

Nake Two Basic Palette
Cover is a perfect shade for my eyebrows. I get a lot of compliments on them whilst using the colour.

Mac 'Blush Baby' Blush.
This blush matches my natural skin tone perfectly.

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc (Light 2)
This has to be my all time favourite foundation.

Collection 2000 Long Lasting Concealer.
My holy grail concealer.(When it isn't sold out).

Benefit Bad Gal Lash.
This is not always my go to mascara but last night it worked perfectly.

Topshop Gel Liner.
I am not the best at the wing eyeliner right now but I do love this as it is super easy to apply, and gives a great look.

And Lastly Lush Bubblegum Lip scrub.
This really helps moisture my lips.

Like I mention this was Taylor. It was such a great night!! She is such a kind and down to earth person and if more people where like her the world would be a better place.

I don't get a lot of photos but here is my favourite. After waiting six years to see her, She was incredible, it was definitely worth the wait.

Big appreciation to Taylor, if you ever get the chance to to her perform live I would HIGHLY recommend it.
What is your ' MOTD'?
What artist are you loving right now?
See you Sunday.

Happy Sunday, today is a special Sunday. It marks the third year in a row I am participating in the Race For Life.

When you are reading this I will be A. Racing B. Finish C. Resting at home ;)

Here is our Just Giving page just I case you have extra pennies to spare.

https://www.justgiving.com/wendylanglands5/

I thought in honor Of the Race for Life I would show my favourite work out gear.

The right shoes.

I feel that you have to get the right pair of shoes for the perfect workout. They have to feel comfortable and for you right.

I have two pair of shoes.

My first are Skechers Tone ups. I bought these a few years ago and they have lasted me since then. They are super comfortable and very breathable. I tend to use these if I am doing intense waking as like I said they are tone ups and they help make the workout burn. Haha

The second pair I Have are Nike Free Run, I bought these last year, again for walking but for more light walking. And for the gym.I fell in love with the style and the colour and they are my go to shoe. They are ideal for comfort and durability!!

Sport Bras are essential for making your workout or exercising comfortable.

I again have two. One I bought cheap at Primark that has served me a long time. It is super plain but it brilliant to hold everything in especially in the gym. Lol

The second is more expensive but super high quality. It is from Nike and it is for light support. I use this if I am doing home exercising or walking. It is super comfy and I love the colour. Nike have amazing workout gear so I would definitely have a browse in Nike.

Throwing on a pair or plain leggings is the best for comfort but I do have two favourites, (yes I have two of everything. I guess I like to keep my options open) ;)

Both are from Victoria Secret Pink. VS is one of my fav shops , as you can tell I am so excited to be able to shop myself whilst I am America.

If you haven't tried Yoga pants then you are missing out. They are thee comfiest things ever. One has a fold over waist band the other doesn't but to be honest it doesn't make a difference. I wear these in the gym or lounging about, anywhere really.

Keeping hydrated is something you should always do when are doing any form of exercising. This 1.7 ltr VS water bottle is very handy. It holds a lot so I can measure how much I am drinking through the day. Not to mention the bottle is the coolest thing ever....

iPhone/IPod Holder. I always find this really helpful. Whether you are on a run, cycling or on a bike it is much easier to listen to music whist having one of these. It means you don't have to hold it and you can let you hands/arms free.

I was given this as a Christmas present from my parents last year and it just so happens to match my Nike sports Bra! WIN!!!

And finally MOTIVATION!!!!!

Without motivation you will get nowhere. You have to think positively and start somewhere. I can say since my job has became a lot busier with different hours going to the gym has been very difficult but with a set home workout it can be much better for you.

Go in to any exercise with the right frame of mind and you will be perfect!! :)

Let me know, if you want anything fitness health related. Hope you are having a wonderful day!! I'll be having a nap but this time so enjoy your day!!!

Hey m'lovelies, Over the last few days I have been purchasing a few bits and pieces that I am excited to share!! Enjoy.

The Mindfulness Colouring Book- Emma Farrarons
£3.99

I have been meaning to buy one of the anti-stress colouring books for quite some now, I really like how simply the idea of colouring in!! I purchased this of of Amazon and I love it!!! The pictures are somewhat kid like drawn which makes colouring them in very easy to do.

It does what it says, it is very soothing and makes a Lazy day very peaceful!! It great addition to my lazy day routine

RT Miracle Sponge - £5.99
Maybeline Fit Me - £5.99

Both of these items were purchased of Feel Unique. Since my holy grail Collection 2000 concealer has became extremely popular, it has sold out everywhere. I was recommended Maybeline Fit Me Concealer and Rimmel London concealer but unfortunately Rimmel was sold out. So I purchased the Maybeline FitMe in the Shade 15. I absolutely love it. I would say it is a pretty great match to Collection concealer. It is a great colour as well as really creamy. I will definitely be purchasing again.

Like the book I have been wanting to buy some sort of Make-up sponge for a while. Since I have been watching quick tutorial on Instagram I have seen a lot of them using a sponge. While purchasing my concealer I picked up the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I bought this so I can get a feel for it and see if I like it as I am looking to buy a Beauty Blender.However I really love how it makes me make-up look on my face. It applies both foundation and concealer perfectly.

Floral Crop Top- £14

Fashion wise I went into Next. As you know I am going way to America in the summer and I have been picking I few items up as I go. I was given a £15 Next gift card as a gift so I thought I would have a look.

I picked up this super cute floral crop top.I really love the colour and thought it would be perfect for the summer, I thought this would be perfect for night time meals but It can be worn everyday or can be dressed up.
This was a really good price at £14, I am super excited to wear it :)

Watermelon clutch - £8

Last but not least, This super fun Watermelon clutch bag. Since working at Matalan I have picked up a few things over time. But this has to be my favourite.

My favourite fruit in the summer is Watermelon so I feel in love with this.. How cute is it?!?
The clutch was £8 but I did get some staff discount. I think this would be a perfect cute bag for a summers night. I seriously can't wait to use it.

Hope you enjoy this haul!!

I am super excited for my holidays so expect lots of holiday post!

What are you favourite shops at the moment?

Let me know?!

Hey guys, How fast has May went, Not that I am complaining since June is super exciting for me!! So once again it is that time of month again.... Here are the products I have been loving in May.

Nail Care... As you might of seen from my Nail care Haul/review I purchased a few items to help take care of my bad nails. Using the Sally Hanson Strengthener has really helped strengthen my nails. I can feel my nails are a lot stronger and they are not breaking at all. Plus using the Sally Hansen Polish Remover has really helped with recovering my nails.

Carrying on from nail care, I have been loving a French Manicure. Ever since my nails have improve I have had more patience to spend time on them. I absolutely love how a French Manicure looks. I have been using Essie 'Romper Room ' or Tanya Burr Mini Marshmallow with Essie 'Blanc'.

Coconut oil. I rarely have hair care products in my favourites because I never put a lot of effort into my hair. I wash and dry shampoo it and that is about it!!! But I have a wedding in July and I really want my hair to be in a brilliant condition, as well as longer. My cousin recommend Coconut Oil to help grow my hair. I bought OGX Weightless Hydrating coconut Oil. I can't really see hair growth so far but it has really made my hair feel super nice. It also smell so lovely, I would highly recommend.

Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader brush. I bought this brush a while ago but have been loving it this month. Firstly I love the colour, it is so pretty. Secondly, I have been wanting a Zoeva brush for a long time so I am thrilled to have it in my collection. Thirdly, it is a very good brush. It is so easy to pack my lid with colour, as it holds a lot of shadow on the brush. It is super soft and I am in love with it.

In terms of TV programs I haven't had any new stand outs, apart Once Upon a Time, but that was in last months favorites. I have however been loving Spotify Chill Out Playlists. I have always stuck to the albums I am familiar with but I venture out and found the best laid back playlist. I love to have it on in the back round, whether I am reading or writing. In fact I have it on just now. It is so calming and 'Chill' Two sounds that have stood out and I have played on repeat are Kodeline- The One and John Mayer cover of XO.
Last but not least I will mention my food favourites. As you can tell from my last post, I have been loving Corn thins with Almond butter with Strawberries. But Vegetables Crisps HAS to be my number one this month. I could seriously live of them. I don't know if they are the healthiest things to eat but I don't care ;) Marks and Spenser or Costa Coffee probably do the best.

I am so excited about the next coming months, I have a lot of ideas for blog posts.

So keep your eyes peeled.

What have been your May Favourites? Let me know?

Hope everyone is having a fab week, I am feeling much better so I thought I would give you a bonus midweek blog. Everyone has things that make them happy in the daily routine. Here is a few things that I like to do in my chill time.

Bedroom set up.

I would definitely say a good book is a good place to start if you have spare time. A great book can put you in a completely different atmosphere, it can make you happy or can make you sad . Either way it can distract you from many things. The book I am reading at the moment is Rainbow Rowell 'Eleanor & Park'. I was a massive fan of 'Fangirl' so I decided to look in to her other book. I am really loving this book. A cup of Green Tea and a cosy duvet is perfect in this situation.

Doodling is also fun. Whether you are an artist or not, get a blank piece of paper and start doodling. You never know you just might create a masterpiece. I am loving this Fashion Sketchbook. I received this at Christmas and I love it. Whether is drawing of a past outfit, future outfit or an over the top outfit, I love it. I am not the best artist nor fashion designer, having it beside my bed gives me the idea that I am. Getting the right equipment and a perfect soundtrack can make the day fly by.

Carrying on from doodling, Having a diary or writing paper is must. I love to write my ideas about blog posts or my favourite quotes from the day. Taking the time in the day to write in my diary can also bring out the best points in my day. Looking through on my younger diarys makes me laugh. I normally keep at home but you could also take it in your bag and carry it with you. It doesn't have to be a fancy diary but a pretty one can help motivate you to use it.

I can also find inspiration on Tumblr. Whether on my phone or on my laptop I find I can spend hours scrolling and reblogging. Like I said I can find inspiration about outfits, bedroom ideas and eating ideas. It can make the day/night go quick. Maybe to quick!!!!!! (*Enter Self Promotion Here*) .

I hope to do more posts like this, I have a few ideas for new posts so keep an eye out. I really want to blog a lot more. I am trying really hard. :)

Let me know what you do in your chill times?

Happy May , Hope everyone had a fab April. My monthly favourites have came around so quick so here it goes.

My Real Techniques Bold Metallic 101 brush. This brush has been number one this month. After getting the Oval Shadow brush I really wanted to try the other bold metals set. And when I had some spare time on my lunch hour I went down to boots and seen that there was only one left.I thought it must be fate haha so I purchased it. This brush is perfect. The triangle shape means I can get into any intricate part of my face.The brush is so soft making my face look really smooth. I find the brush a perfect size for my whole face.

Topshop 'Chuck' Lipstick . This month I have been experimenting more with lipsticks. My fav has been 'Chuck' from Topshop. I am more of a nude/pink kind of girl but I have been loving this shade. It is more of a cherry/plum colour. Although it is coming into the spring/summer I am really digging the shade. The packaging is also very cute.

Rimmel Wake me up Concealer. I have had this for a while but only recently have I been really loving it. It's great for under the eye and like it says on the it's definitely makes you look awake. It really brightens your eyes. I love how it has sparkles in it which makes your face glow. Coming into the hotter days you really want to look fresh faced.

My Favourite album this month have been Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear and Meghan Trainor's Title.
I have loved Sia since seeing Dance Moms Maddie Ziegler preform in Chandelier. Every song and music video she released I was obsessed with so I decided to purchase the album. The music is different to want I thought it would be like but I love it. A big changed from the usual chart music. My favourite song would have to be 'Fire Meet Gasoline'
On the contrary Meghan Trainor's album has a very popy, 1950s/1960s vibe which I love. It puts me in a great mood. It also showcases Meghan's vocals. My favourite track is 'Credit'. Both albums are on reply.

Once Upon a Time. Having watched this two years ago when it was on TV I was so upset when it got cut from UK channel.... but I was super happy that it was put up on Netflix. (thank you). I love how it has more characters involved and more fairytales and the story is getting better and better, I can't stop watching and would absolutely recommend it. Plus I wish that David was my Prince Charming. ;)

Leave in the comments what your April favourites have been?

Hey m'lovelys, Hope you are all having a great day.

For me Make-up Brushes are one of the most essential things to make or break your make-up look... I feel that you need the right brushes to create the perfect face... so here are my Top 5 brushes...

The first brush is the Sephora 57 Pro Airbrush Conceal brush.. I purchased this in Sephora whilst on holiday in Milan with my family and it is a brilliant brush!!

I use it with my concealer to cover up my problems areas and I feel it makes these area look smooth and flawless.

The brush is super soft and very easy to use!! It is very worth the money and I would certainly recommend!!

The second brush is Real Techniques Bold Metallic Oval Shadow brush...

This brush is meant for your eyes and it is a very good Eye brush however I use it as a concealer brush!! I feel that this brush is the right shape and well as having the right fluffiness for a perfect concealer brush. I use this brush more for highlight rather than my problem areas. But both this and my Sephora Brush is a perfect match.

This is my most recent purchase, aswell as it being an amazing brush, the Bold Metals collection is beautiful..

The third brush on my list is Sephora 73 Crease brush...

Again I purchased this whilst in Milan! I would definitely say it was a dupe for MAC 217, I had been looking for a blending/fluffy brush for a long time and heard amazing reviews about MAC 217... I was on my way to the MAC counter as I seen this brush...

It is a perfect shape for blending and it holds a lot of product! It creates the perfect look without shedding! This brush is very affordable and a must have in your make-up collection.

Number four is Real Techniques Expert Face Brush....

This has to be my all time favourite foundation brush! Having went through a phase of using my fingers (I know, disgusting) I found Real Techniques brushes, thanks to my sister. I firstly swore by Real Techniques buffing Brush, I loved it and it made my make-up apply really nice But then I purchased the Expert Face brush for my friends Christmas, I had forgot my brushes one day after staying over and she was really kind in letting my borrow her brush.. I was in love... The foundation went on so smoothly and it sat perfectly!!

I automatically put it on my Christmas list last year and was super lucky to have received it!!! The brush is super soft yet it gives a very good coverage and like I said it makes my face look smooth and flawless.

The last brush and right now my favourite is Real Techniques Cheek Brush...

Like all Real Techniques brushes it is super soft and very good value. This came in a set name Nics Picks, and I believe it was a set exclusive.

I use this firstly as a bronzer brush, the dense bristles means I can build colour and create perfect contour. I then use it for my blush, again the soft dense brush means I can build colour.

It is very easy to use and gives a lovely effect!! I would highly recommend if you can get your hands on it!!

What is your top brushes? Leave in the comments any recommendations?!
