September Favourites

At the start of September I made a 'bucket-list-that's-not-really-a-bucket-list-more-like-just-a-list-of-things' and in this really catchy titled list I mentioned how I wanted to do a 'Monthly Favourites' post. So here goes...

(Got a feeling this is going to be pretty long, apologies!)


Beauty

This month I have been completely obsessed with Maybelline's Baby Lips. They're freeeeeeeeeeeeakin' amazing, and really do leave your lips nice and soft. I used to be a Vaseline addict but then I tried these in 'Pink Punch' and 'Hydrate'. Not much else to say really, they do what it says on the tin (or tube, whatever). They're also really good value - only £2.99 from Boots (but I used my Advantage card so I feel like they were free which makes me like them even more..)

I've also been loving Soap & Glory's Foam Call. Not much to say here either - it's foamy and smells nice. What more could you want in a body wash?
I'm afraid I can't tell you how much it is because I actually bought it for my sister last Christmas and she hasn't used it, so I've taken it upon myself to get my money's worth out of it. Thanks Caroline...

Finally, I've been using Vo5's 'Give Me Texture - Dry Texturising Spray' It's kind of like a lighter dry shampoo apart from the fact it's not a dry shampoo (I'm so good at describing! Not.) It just adds loads of texture to your hair, which is always a good thing. And it also smells really nice. I got it as part of a 2 for £5 deal from Superdrug, which is pretty cheap too!

Music

I read, and watch, so many Monthly Fvaourite posts and never really see any with music included. So I'm going to start it, go me.

I've been having an 'I really miss My Chemical Romance' month so have been getting pretty into 'The Black Parade is Dead!' Listening to it really loud either in my car or in my headphones just makes me happy (and also a little bit sad when Famous Last Words comes on, totes emosh) Anyone who's a MCR fan should definitely listen to it if you haven't already.




I've also been listening to Plain White T's a lot. Never really listened to them before but then I bought 'All That We Needed' (mainly because it has Hey There Delilah on it and I love that song) and it's such a good album! It's just pretty feel good, and not like what I expected it to sound like so yeah, everyone should listen to that too!





Other...




As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I love candles (maybe a little too much). I bought two mini Yankee Candles and wow, they're so nice! I got Christmas Treats (before anyone says it: No, it is not too early for Christmas!) and Sweet Pea. They were only £1 each, which is really good too. They smell so nice.





I did have a lot more favourites - but I think this is probably pretty boring for you to read so I'll leave it there (unless anyone wants to hear the rest?!)

At least I can now say I've done a Monthly Favourites!
