October Favourites

This October (as you can tell by the title) I have decided to show you some of my five favourite beauty products!! Here it goes yaaaaay!

My first favourite it the MUA bronzer which is very shimmery. This is perfect for when I go to school every day and all I want is a simple shimmery glow to look healthy! They look very dark in the pan so I went for the lightest shade!

This RealTechniques Expert Face Brush has honestly been my absolute life saver. I have found a completely new way to apply my make up and it gives my foundation and concealer a really nice finish.

I wrote a blog post about this lip gloss very recently so I won't say much except that it is from Forever 21 and is my favourite lip gloss so far of Autumn/Winter.

My MUA Hide and Conceal Concealer is another of my school lifesavers. It's super cheap so I can afford to wear it every day in school. I apply it only under my eyes to make my dark circles look a bit less obvious!

This is one of my monthly favourites because as I have curly hair, it's a nightmare every morning to wake up to! After I wash my hair in the evening, I towel dry it, apply lots of this Aussie Miracle Recharge Frizz Remedy and then plait it and keep it like this overnight! It means my hair is a lot more manageable the next day! This is by far the best smelling leave in conditioner that I have tried!

A Day In... Glasgow

On the 13th August I went with my family on a day trip to Glasgow. My mum and auntie do this every year in summer and this year myself and my two sisters decided to go too. We hopped onto a boat at 7.30am and made the journey to Scotland. We then took a coach that led us right into the centre of Glasgow. We had 4 or 5 hours to spend in the city.

Boat selfie! I'm hoping to include this top in a separate blog post soon as it's super funky!

 On the boat I enjoyed a lovely cup of tea.

I then decided that I needed a good boost of energy so on the coach, I drank a bottle of Lucozade in the flavour pink lemonade - mmm!

The shops were just incredible so I decided to take a few photos of the shops! Here is the Vans shop! It looks super cool from the outside.

The Hard Rock Cafe Glasgow which I didn't get time to go into!! I was so so gutted - I will definitely go there next time!

Jack Wills. We only spent a brief time in there as I had ordered stuff off the website that week!

I don't know what this building is but I guess it looked pretty.

We had a break from shopping and went to Di Maggio's.

Di Maggio's was in a little area called Merchant City which was really pretty.

I had a super yummy pizza and a glass of Fanta Orange.

The Doctor Who Police Box thing!

The Apple shop looked pretty awesome.

Forever 21. I bought a cute pair of jeans which will definitely feature on my blog soon! They will be perfect for Autumn!

The Commonwealth Games statue/logo thing! It was cool.

Lines on the ground in the colours of the Commonwealth. I hope you enjoy my shadow haha.

"People Make Glasgow"

Lush. I definitely need to revisit this place and buy stuff!

MAC. I'm so excited to spend all my Christmas money on MAC products!

We had a refreshing drink at Costa before heading back to the coach.

Mmm and a big greasy bowl of chips on the boat on the way home!

During the day I didn't really buy much apart from the jeans from Forever 21 and another thing from H&M which I will do a separate blog post on! The time flew by so so quickly but my sisters also got a few nice things that I helped pick out for them.

I'm hoping to make going to Glasgow an annual thing like my mum and auntie do. So next year I may be off with my friends to Glasgow or maybe back again with my family!

I hope you enjoyed this day trip and if you did, I might include more day trips in my future blogs!

Much love,

Ellen xo
