Isla Canela, Spain.

Although i was very busy in August i did take many pictures (another blog post coming soon, on something that quite frankly i'm terrified to post). I went on a two week holiday to Costa De La Luz, Spain with my brother, parents and granny (grandmother). It was so amazing to relax and not have to worry about anything. 

The resort was lovely, it was pretty quiet which i liked a lot as we normally go to the more busy/popular parts of spain. It was very Spanish, loads of amazing Tapas Restaurants, which me and my dad adored.

So i thought i would share some of my 'holiday snaps'...

August Favourites 2013

This month has literally been crazy, i've about 3 free days, so apologies for the lack of blog posts this month (fingers crossed i will be back on track come September). I don't have too many favourites because i haven't really had time to be trying out new products, except lip/nail products which obviously i can always make time for, typical Abi. So here we go, my August Favourites...

Bumble and bumble, Thickening Hairspray.

So this month i was extremely excited to find that in September's issue of Elle you were gifted a free sample of the Bumble and bumble thickening hairspray, which is something that i have been wanted to try for a while! The 50ml bottle is worth £7.50 and this issue of Elle was £4, so amazing value!

July Favourites 2013

This month i didn't really use many 'new' products, as i didn't have time to be buying/trying out new things (thanks to deadlines at school), so i decided to just pick a few products which i have really been enjoying! 

Maybelline Color Tattoo, Pink Gold and Eternal Gold.

Because i loved the shade On and on bronze so much, i went back to boots a couple of days later and brought two more! Maybelline was on 3 for 2 when i picked these, so i bought one for my mum in the shade 'Light in purple' which was gorgeous duo chrome blue/purple.

Review: Bourjois, Color Boost

Bourjois Color Boost, Red Sunrise 

The lip crayon hype is only getting larger. I am a massive fan of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains so i was super excited to hear that another highstreet/drugstore brand were bring some out!

The Highest Of Contrasts.

Maybelline Color Tattoo, On and On Bronze

FINALLY I've got my hands on one of these Color Tattoos. Whenever i've gone to buy one they have never had this colour in stock, and when they have it had been opened! This was the one color that i knew i wanted to try out first as i love bronze eye shadows!

Wishlist #2

1. Rose Gold Open Heart Ring, Brandy Melvile
2. Vintage Style Flat Link Chain, ASOS
3. Purple Bullet Stone, Brandy Melvile
4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry Skeleton Pink Leather Strap Watch, ASOS
5. Double Colour Drop Earrings, ASOS
6. Gem Stone Bracelet, ASOS

This is my current 'Accessorize' wishlist/items that i really like.

Graze Subscription Review.

So, I have been subscribed to graze for about 3 months now and i really like it! I get one box a week and it comes every Monday which means i have one snack for each day that i have left at school that week! Each box is £3.89 (including delivery) it gets posted through your letterbox, so no need to make sure your at home to sign for it. There is a large selection of snacks which you randomly get sent. You can go through a large list and 'bin' things you don't like, and rate them depending on how often you would like to be sent them.

I really love the popcorn and the seeds which i was very happy about getting in this weeks box! There is such a variety of different snacks to choose from, savoury and sweet. Another great thing is that you can put it on hold if you go on holiday without having to cancel the whole subscription. It is also very easy to cancel if you don't enjoy it! 

You can check out graze at, www.graze.com

June Favourites 2013!

Beauty

Aussie Dual Personality Curl Definition + Soft Feel Serum - This is an old favourite of mine, i've used it for a couple of years now however after several months of not using it i decided to try it again. It is the perfect lightweight serum, having curly hair is pretty difficult to care for and i tend to stay away from products that could potentially weigh it down.

'Dotted Middle'

Another one of my favourite super easy 'nail art' (if you can even call it that) looks. I saw this look on tumblr a couple of weeks ago and thought i would try it out! I absolutely love the way it looks, again, so simple! I'm sure it's pretty self explanatory how i achieved this look.  If you want to know how i explained in my last nail blog post 'The Dot' so follow this but just do more dots on top of the one by the cuticle. See, Easy!

Wishlist #1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

1. I am absolutely in love with this bag, ever since i saw Lily Pebbles haul it. I love the style and the colour is incredible. If you had asked me a couple of years ago if i wanted a florescent yellow bag i would have most likely turned my nose up,

Neutral Eye Look #1

I am definitely a neutral 'shimmery' eye girl, i just love the way in complements my eye colour and makes a look that little bit more impressive. I've been considering buying the Urban Decay Naked Pallets for a long time, however since MUA brought out two pretty good dupes for a lot cheaper i have been giving them a go. The colours are just amazing and so wearable.

One Whole Year.

This was taken the day after we got them, 17th June 2012.

It's time for me to finally express my 'crazy cat lady' instincts on my blog...it was only a matter of time! I thought i would make this post as it was a year on the 16th June that we got two kittens called Nemo and Dory.

Daily Makeup

I do love to mix and match my makeup, but these products i have absolutely been loving and haven't been switched around for a while.

You may notice that i haven't included a foundation, i don't tend to wear it on a daily basis as i like to wear as little base make up as possible. However if i'm know i'm going to be out all day, or i'm going out in the evening i will wear one.

Mint Nails!

Barry M - Mint Green

This Nail Varnish has been in my collection for about three years now and I've only just rediscovered it. Mint Green is one of my all time favourite colours and i have several mint colours in my collection and this one was always forgotten about. I find that the formula of this product isn't as great as some of my other Barry M colours as you do need to do about three coats to get it opaque.

May Favourites 2013.

This is my first monthly favourites that i will be posting on my blog! I absolutely love reading/watching other peoples favourites on blogs and youtube. So here goes, my 'Favourites' for the month of May.

Maybelline Polka Dots

Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots - These are limited addition nail polishes from the drugstore/high street. It took me a while to find a store that still had some in stock so they are obviously very popular. They are definitely very good dupes for the Illamasqua Speckle Nail Polishes (however they are more nude colours), i have never tried these but have heard good things about them, they are more pricey at £14.50 unlike the Maybelline ones which are at £2.99.

Coral Lips

Coral Lips is one of my new found loves. Lip colour is another thing that i'm a little 'obsessed' with. In the Autumn and Winter i wore a lot of deep vampy reds and purple tones (much like the nail varnish), however i've never really experimented with lip colour in the spring, until this year. One of my favourite colours this spring in general is coral,
