Top 10 August Favourites

I thought I'd add a few random favourites to my monthly faves this month, so lets do this.

Haulin': Nars and Charlotte Tilbury

If it's not obvious from the picture - I love Nars. I didn't even realise I'd mainly bought all Nars products until taking photos.

Week Three: Stanmore Pain Management and Rehabilitation Programme, Part Eight

| Day One |

That was my last night in the hotel; I can’t believe I’m already in my final week of rehab. I arrived at Stanmore at 9 am and unpacked my things ready for the weekend review. I completed the majority of my goals but didn’t download WorkRave as I was being stubborn and wanted to get quite a bit of writing done. My shoulder paid for the lack of rest breaks I took and I’m definitely going to

All About that Glow: Becca Cosmetics Highlighter Review

Becca Cosmetics is renowned for their Shimmering Skin Perfectors and it took me a while to get round to owning any. I'm a matte skin kind of girl so didn't use highlighters a lot as I thought I'd end up looking too greasy.

Week Two: Stanmore Pain Management and Rehabilitation Programme, Part Seven

| Day One |

I stayed at a hotel again last night and had a decent night’s sleep. I arrived on the ward at 9 am and the nurses helped me in with my bags; after unpacking I went for a Weekend Review and the group shared whether they had achieved their weekend goals. I did, and was really pleased with myself. On Saturday I managed to iron one leg of my jeans and my boyfriend did the rest because I was pacing myself. I was glad that I was putting what I’d learnt into practice.

Urban Decay Smoky Palette

| Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette | £38 | Link |
I'm finally getting round to posting about the new Urban Decay Smoky palette. I bought it on pre-release online but it arrived the day I went into hospital, so I had to wait to play around with it.

Top 5 Mac Lipsticks

Mac Lipstick | £15.50 | Link |

Like most beauty bloggers I have a soft spot for Mac lipsticks, they have this hold over me and as soon as I see a Mac counter a force grabs me and pulls me towards the lippies. Then I have to buy one (or three), it's the rules.

Week One: Stanmore Pain Management and Rehabilitation Programme, Part Six

| Day One |

I had a very early start and didn't sleep well. I Skyped my best friends and boyfriend last night for some last minute encouragement. My bags were brought in from the car by one of the nurses so I didn't have to struggle and I was shown to my bed. My weight, height, blood pressure and temperature were taken and then I unpacked. A few of the other patients were on their second and third weeks so they answered any questions I had. Myself and fellow newbies attended a Welcome Meeting, we introduced ourselves and received our timetables. I didn't really feel nervous, I was more curious of the programme. Thankfully, there was quite a few free hours in my timetable for down time/resting - I knew I'd need it. Finally, I met my physiotherapist (PT), Jason and occupational therapist (OT), Sally. We discussed my goals and areas I think I may need help with. I wasn't given any exercises - that's tomorrow. I need sleep.

Top 10 July Beauty Favourites

This is my first ever monthly favourites, woo. I plan on doing this every month, well, because I want to. They won't always be crammed with beauty related products but there'll be a hell of a lot of make up goodness in there. I tried a few new things in July and reunited with some old faves, so let's do this.
