September Favourites

I've recently rediscovered my love for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. The shades I've been reaching for the most are 'Trick','Burnout' and 'Liar', which I've been using alone or in combination to create a simple,pretty eye look.

I'm a big fan of red lipstick and the latest one I have purchased is the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in 'Underage Red'. I have worn this lipstick many times throughout the month, it is a really pretty red shade which applies well and is long lasting too (kaching!...10 points if you remember that TV show,haha).

Life: The Trinity Kitchen

Trinity Kitchen is one of my favourites places to visit when I go to Leeds. It's based inside the Trinity shopping centre and is the home to a number of different eateries.

The Trinity Kitchen has some permanent restaurants - such as Tortilla,Pho and Chicago Ribshack to name just a few - however it also plays host to a number of street food vans which change around every 6 weeks. To find out which street food vans are currently visiting click here.

Review: Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan Dark

Usually I don't use fake-tan very often but when I do my tan of choice is Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan. I have tried both the original version and the dark version, as the dark version is my personal favourite it will be the one I'm focusing on in this review.

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Dark Tan is a mousse type fake-tan. As I'm somewhat of an inexperienced fake-tanner this is my favourite type of tan as I find it the easiest to apply. However it's worth mentioning that you definitely need to give the bottle a good shake before trying to dispense any product (as with any mousse type product) otherwise things can get a little bit messy.

Beauty: All The Small Things (That Irritate Me)

Quite recently I got thinking about my beauty pet hates so I decided to do something a little bit different in today's post and share with you all those small (beauty related) things that tend to irritate me:

• People applying the 'tester' make-up directly to their face ..the amount of people I've seen do this in Boots/Superdrug is crazy.. it's gross.. please stop.
• Chipped nail polish..oh dear one nail chipped.. now I need to repaint them all #effort.
• Getting the perfect eyeliner flick on one eye... but not being able to get the other eye quite right.

Beauty: USA Beauty Haul

Whilst I was in the USA I managed to pick up a few beauty treats from the likes of Bath & Bodyworks, Victoria's Secret,Walgreens,MAC and of course Sephora. Haul posts are my favourite type of blog post to read so naturally I'm going to share my USA beauty haul with you, my lovely readers:
