A Few Autumn Beauty Picks

So my break from blogging was somehow unintentionally extended, but lets just pretend I never left shall we...

As much as I loved summer, I found myself starting to ache for those darker autumnal hues and the opportunity to whack out Rebel or Diva (MAC fiends will relate). So when september finally made an appearance, I got a little too excited about the fact that my staples would soon do a complete 180.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES : February

I always seem to forget how fast the month of february goes, and before you know it, I'm conjuring up my list of products that make the cut for the months favourites. This month has revolved around looking put together with minimal effort required, and boy have I mastered that technique these 4 weeks. 

THOUGHTS: Charles Worthington Texturising Spray

Now I'm not really one to slather products onto my hair very often. However, being the owner of waist length, pin straight hair certainly does not do me any favours in the volume department. So I will do just about anything to give my hair a bit of a lift. 

Detangling The Tangles

Lets begin with my current hair situation. I have waist length hair thats fine in strand, but quite thick in quantity. Now you can only imagine the sheer amount of knots that accumulate as the day drags on. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate my hair, but the amount of wasted time I spend brushing it is simply not acceptable. queue my little hair saviours...

The Sunday Edit: Small Drugstore Haul

So instead of revealing my week to you all, (which to be honest, hasn't been much) I thought I would make it a tad more interesting and share a few bits I picked up at the drugstore. Some are standard repurchases and others are what have been cropping up more recently; curiosity and advertising simply won me over. 

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: November

Cozying up on the couch with a lovingly warm cranberry and raspberry cuppa; racking my brain on how to introduce this post, I'm wondering how this year has flown by so quickly. It seems most unreal that the next time I'll be contemplating on how to start a monthly favourites post, christmas will have already been and gone. Crazy, I know. 

Right, enough with the deep thoughts. This month has been somewhat uneventful; a few shopping trips and the usual dinners out but nothing too extravagant. In terms of make up, I've been chopping and changing on a daily basis, desiring the vamped lip one day but a smoked eye the next. 

The Hair Tie-less Hair Do

So as you can tell from the above image, my mane is quite the length and I often find myself (especially during class) wanting to throw it up but being blessed with the unfortunate situation of not having a hair tie. 

I actually don't know how this even happened or when that little brain of mine decided that this was an idea that would actually work, but it didn't turn out all too bad. It's simple, quick and sufficient for those with long hair wanting to throw it up in seconds. 

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: August

The monthly favourites spree of posts is in full swing and I thought it was about time that I shared my own. I did do a mid monthly favourites for this month but I have discovered so many new products that this post would have been about 10 pages long if I didn't split it up. But without further a do, I'm just going to go ahead and start the rambles on my recent favourites.
