emmalanglands: February 2016

Wow, saying goodbye to February already!! I can't believe we are nearly into to the third month of 2016! February got a little more exciting by the end but I know for sure March is a big one!!!
If I haven't mention but I am heading to New York very soon, so getting ready for a lot of blog post and hauls!!!
Anyway, big intro done, here are my February Favourites!

Make-Up!

Number one product I have been loving since the end of January has to be my Dior Lip Maximiser set. I've mention before that I have partially small lips so whilst I was in London airport I picked this up at duty free!

I was a bit skeptical as a lot of lip plumbers cause your lips to hurt but I was glad this didn't!!

I mean it feels different than normally lip gloss but it does the job! It Obviously it doesn't give me Kylie Jenner lips but it give me a boost and a really high gloss which I have been loving!

On the topic of Kylie Jenners lips I was very lucky to get my hands in two Of Kylie's Lip kits. I purchased KOKO K and POSIE K.

All I've heard is great things about the kit and they are all completely right.

The colours I got are gorgeous, I got a lot of compliments about my lips whilst wearing both.

The liner is very easy to apply and glides on well, The lipstick itself has a good wear and last most of the day.

The one thing I will say is that at the moment I have very dry lips so when I applied and the reapplied it did make my lips very dry. But I do put that down to my lips already being dry.

The delivery was quick although when I received KOKO K the liner just broke, I tried to sharpen it, it it happen again. I emailed Kylie's team and they have been amazing are sending me a replacement so I am very happy.

Last of the Beauty products has to be the brand Kiko, whilst I was in London I visited BlueWater shopping centre and I popped into Kiko. I have never bought any of there products before so it was very exciting. I ended up getting two things.

The first item I have been loving was this amazing bronzer.

First of all the packing is a beautiful Rose Gold colour and matches my room ;)

The shade matches my skin so well, it has a slight shimmer as well has the white highlighter in the middle.
I use this as an alternative to Nars Laguna bronzer when I am my work!

I then seen this gorgeous eyeshadow.

It is a super pretty pink/purple shade with a a lot of shimmer!!

I loved this as it is very close to the colours in the Naked 3 palette.

If you have read my blog you will know that I love the paint pots by Mac, this is very close.

It is not as creamy as Macs but it still is very simple to apply.
It has been my go to shade this month!

Random Favs!

I feel like I have given up on PLL, I find it has dragged out and I am not that excited about watching it anymore so I have had to find another Tv show to obsess over. And that has to be FRIENDS! Surprisingly I had never watched a full episode of Friends in my 20 years of my life. It was never really a show my parents watched so it never bothered me! But now I am HOOKED!!

Why have I never watched it before. It is just an easy watch and has great story lines. I regret not watching it soon!!

I love that it is in 25 mins episodes , so I don't get bored lol!

Music wise, I feel I stick to the same genre of music, the poppy 1D, Justin Bieber kind of music.

I wanted to branch out again and try different music!

I have always had a soft spot for the Arctic Monkeys so they are back in my Spotify Music a well as Marina and the Diamonds, Bon Iver and to my surprise The Beatles. So they have to feature in my Feb favs!

And Lastly I giving a big shoutout to my sister boyfriend's dog Ailsa!
I want to do I full post on facing my dog fears, but for now I will just quickly mention the fact that since I can remember I have been terrified of dogs!! This month seen me face them and look after this cutie Ailsa!! I spent two days with her and Ive fallen in love!! So 100% she is my number one favourite of this month!!

Let me know what your February Favs are??
And see you in New York! ;)

Hey everyone sorry I haven't been as active as I was last year, I have lack motivation and I have had a writers block. January and February are quite boring months so I wasn't sure what to write. But after having a look through my blog, one of my favourite posts from last year was 'Top Five For Lips'.

Reading through I have realised my lip collection has expanding majorly and I have a whole new set of lips products that I have loved.

This time however, I have an awkward number in 7! I can't decide between these so I am including them all. Little fact about me, my favourite number is 7 so it kinda makes me happy. Enjoy.

Number one has to be Kylie Jenner's lip kit in the Shade Koko K.

It was top of my list when this new shade came out to purchase and I am so happy with it. The colour itself has to be one my favourite lip shades. I think it works very well with my skin tone.

I love how it applies to lips and also how long it lasts! Props to Kylie on her new products!!

YSL Glossy Lip Stain No.17 After being totally obsessed with the YSL packaging and wanting to get my hands on their products, I was super exited to find this. This colour is a pretty baby pink and with my obsessed with pink lips (as you will see ) I am completely in love!

It is a bit brighter to be classed as a nude, but I find it very easy to wear on an everyday basis.

I will say after buying the KJ lip kit I have realised it doesn't stay on as long but still amazing!

Mac Frost in 'Angel' I actually picked this up in an make-up outlet in Florida back in July and have been in love ever since. I tend to stick to the pink nude lipstick and this ticks all the boxes.

It works well my skin tone even though I have pale skin, and gives a gorgeous natural lip for an everyday make-up look. This is a perfect shade for me if I am going to work.

It has to be one of my favourites Mac lipsticks!!

Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil 'Make Me Proud' Again a very natural pink nude shade. I actually seen this whilst in Paris back in October in Sephora but unfortunately it was sold out, so my sister Sarah found it in the UK and gave me it as a Christmas gift this year!!

It is very similar to Angel but it is a lot more glossy and gives a great shine!!

Similarly, it is perfect for an everyday look!

Mac Creme-sheen 'Naked Proof' Just like Angel I picked up this up in the Outlet in Florida! This was part of a set which I believe was by Rebecca Moses a few years ago!

I wasn't sure if I was gonna love this product or not. It isn't majorly out my comfort zone but I normally go with pinks, where as this is more off a coral shade.

I normally pair this with the liner that came in the kit, Boldly Bare, Which I absolutely love.

Bobbi Brown Art Stick 'Dusty Pink' If you had read my last post you'll know that Bobbi Browns Pale Petal is my all time favourite shade!! But I wanted to find the matte shade rather than a Gloss and I did!! Like the last two I found this in the Outlet and it is ideal.

It might be a shade darker but it is perfect. If I want a basic make-up look but not a nude lip this is what I reach for!! It stays on my lips for a long time and gives great colour!!

And lastly, Dior Addict Lip Maximiser Like I have mention before I have pretty small lips, but I have really done anything to them. Except now, I haven't really believed in Lip Plumper or anything like that! Why would anyone want to sting there lips? But this has changed my mind. It has made a small difference in my lips. I know that gloss itself makes lips look better but I feel it does it job! It feels nice on my lips and gives me a bit more confidence.

Let me know what your favourite Lip Products are? Also let me know what kind of posts you want me to post!! Would be much appreciated!

Love Emma

I have aways loved watching blogger/Youtubers show there Evening Routine, its interesting to me to see what products they use and how they enjoy there evening so I thought I would share my Evening Skincare Routine!!

First things first, I decide whether I want to have a long relaxing bath or a shower?

For this post I choose to have a bath. So I go ahead and start to run it.

Whilst it is running I tend to put on some tunes and have a dance party. You'll be surprised at the workout you can get just from dancing ;)

I still have quite a lot of my Christmas Lush products so its super exciting to use my Magic bubble Wand. This smell exactly like Snow Fairy so I realise then I have made the right choice for a bath.

It create lots of bubble and makes the best bubble bath.

It also smell amazing! :)

Then it is time to get clean. I absolutely love scrubs, I tend to use these once or twice a week to help clean my skin. I go between two, Soap and Glory's Scrub of your Life and Zoella's Scrubbing Me Softly!

This time I use Scrubbing Me Softly as this has to be my favourite products out of Zoella Beauty.

It smells amazing and makes my skin feel super soft.

Now after soaking in the bath for as long as I can, I then will move on to my face. If I have had a heavy day of make-up then I will use my Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing balm. I have utterly fell in love with this products. It takes my make-up very easily and makes my face very clean!

If I am having a lighter make-up day or I haven't worn any make-up I will use my Peaches and Clean Cleansing Milk. I have talked about this a lot so you know how much I LOVE this stuff.

After my cleanser I will either use Clearasil Rapid Action Scrub, or Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash.

I use Clearsasil once or twice a week to exfoliate my skin and I do think it helps with my skin.

I use Neutrogena as often as I can as it help with redness on my face.

After spending another 15/20 mins doing that stuff I know that I have to get out.

This is when I relax even more and take my time finishing of my evening, I change my music something more subtle.

If I can bothered I go all out and do a Facemark, I love The Fab Pore 2 in 1 Facial Mask and Peel from soap and Glory! I leave it on for 10-15 minutes depending on how bad my skin is.

It helps with my pores and although I haven't seen that much of an improvement, I don't use it all the time so it figures lol

During the time I have my face mask on, it is moisturising time.

I have a few that I go between but this time I used Soap and Glory's Righteous Butter. This is my ultimate fav. As it is a body butter it sinks into my skin very quickly and makes my skin soft and smelling incredible.

After I take my mask I use Nip and Fab wrinkle fix serum, to prevent wrinkles and then I would moisturise.

I then get into my pjs and my warm dressing gown, curl up on the couch and enjoy my night!!!
