As November is coming to an end, here is my November favourites:

Songs I've been loving this month:
Better Than Drugs - Skillet.
Unconditionally - Katy Perry.
Pink Tie - This Wild Life.
Part of Your World - The Little Mermaid.
Fade Away - We Came As Romans.
I Should've Follow You Home - Agnetha Faltskog & Gary Barlow.
Diana - One Direction.

Movies I've been loving this month:
I honestly haven't watched that many movies this month. :-(
Horror: Maniac, Twixt and The Unborn. (I'm also seeing Carrie on Sunday with mum so I'm sure that will be in my December favourites, eek.)
Comedy: A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Clueless.
Drama: Mysterious Skin, Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy, 5o First Dates (I really don't consider this a comedy, it's actually really sad.)
Sci-Fi & Fantasy: Thor & Thor 2, Daybreakers. (This next one may be controversial but I'm going to put it in here anyway.) Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor. It was awfully movie like and I absolutely adored it okay.

TV shows I've been loving this month:
Whacked out the Jackass: Complete Collection box set this month, watched all 3 seasons of the show over and over and I've also been loving Wildboyz (Jackass spin-off featuring Steve-O and Chris Pontius.) And obviously the Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor episode.

Video games I've been loving this month:
Fable III - Xbox 360.
Assassin's Creed II - Xbox 360.
Grand Theft Auto IV - Xbox 360.

Drinks I've been loving this month:
Pepsi Max.

Food I've been loving this month:
Aero Chocolate Mousse, White Chocolate Magnum and Sweet n' Salt Skinny Topcorn.

Make up items I've been loving this month: 
The Falsies by Maybelline. I've rekindled my love for this mascara. Phwoarr Paint Heavy Duty Concealer by Seventeen and Collection's 'Perrie' lipstick from the Little Mix range.

Skincare products I've been loving this month: 
I really haven't been loving a lot of skincare products lately, probably just my Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day Cream for Dry Skin.

Life favourites:
Nothing particularly thrilling has happened this month. My mental health has been the worst it's been for a while. Ugh. :-(

Am I looking forward to next month?
YES. CHRISTMAS AND I GET TO SEE JOEJOE IN ESSEX FOR NEW YEARS. That means lots and lots of drinking and I'm extremely okay with that, haha!

That's all for now,
Rachel. xo

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive item?
My most inexpensive beauty item is probably this gorgeous pink lipstick I bought from Savers for 75p. It's unbranded but it's so pigmented and moisturising. My most expensive is probably my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. (I'm not usually one for splashing out on high end beauty products)

2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
I'd actually go with the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, oooh controversial. Well when I have a break out, I find that that concealer just doesn't do that and kind of makes my spots really hurt. I might have an allergic reaction, I don't know. But other times, I absolutely adore that c0ncealer.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
My most delicious beauty products? Well, I'm going to assume that means scents and I'm gonna go with my Sugar Crush body wash and Sugar Crush body scrub. I'll just repurchase and repurchase them products. If Soap & Glory ever discontinue them I may just cry. Also, I really like the scent of my Bourjois Healthy Mix Gel Foundation, it just doesn't smell like normal foundations. It's so nice.

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
So, I'm actually going to say eyeliner. It's rare that I wear eyeliner anyway, it's just not a part of my daily make up routine but even when I do want to wear eyeliner I just go 'lol naaaah'. From the ages of 12-14 eyeliner is all I wore (but that could be due to my baby goth phase hahaha.)

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
I'd probably say my Phwoarr Paint concealer by Seventeen, it just hides everything, hahah. Also, my Falsies mascara by Maybelline, one of the only things I genuinely like about myself are my eyes and eyelashes (I have super long eyelashes) so loads of mascara just makes me feel confident.

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive about the opposite sex?
Eyes, hair and personality. 

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
I'd say, either the Soap & Glory Loved & Glossed gift set or the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. These are two things that have been on my list of things to buy for so long but I just never have the money. :-(

I hope you enjoyed that tag! I tag all of you reading this right now.
I had super bad writer's block today also, I didn't have access to a camera so was unable to do a review. :-(

That's all for now,
Rachel. xo

Hi guys!
So this is another wishlist but first I'd like to do a quick life update section. So it's currently 1:38am here and I'm not able to sleep. Admittedly I haven't been able to get to sleep 'til about 6:30am, it's ridiculous. Like my brain is just filled with worry and anxiety constantly. I actually want to sleep and my eyes want to close but my brain's like 'lol no'. This has been going on for maybe 5 nights in a row now, my mum's put it down to my anxiety so I'm not sure how I feel about that. I went to Boots today and me and mum bought some natural sleeping tablets that claim they take effect within 30 minutes. Well, I took the tablet at 10pm and here I am, awake at 1:44am. I highly doubt I'll be in college tomorrow either which sucks because I was off last week and my attendance is just constantly going down and ugh. ANYWAY, wishlist time!

This isn't even going to be specific wishlist, it's going to have a bit of everything in there ok.

I'm sorry this is a short post, I'm going to try and get some sleep now, night!

Hi!
I've realised that if I leave any more time to do this blog post it'll be the new year, so I might aswell get it done as soon as possible. These are just some favourites categories I've thought of on the spot, so here it goes!

Songs I've been loving this month:
Doing It Wrong - Anita Blay (Some Girls theme song, haha)
High Regard - The Story So Far.
Take Me - Major League.
Secret Valentine - We The Kings.
Still Waiting - Sum 41.
Berzerk - Eminem.

Movies I've been loving this month:
So for this section, I'm going to put them in categories as I watched so many good movies in October.
Horror: Psycho, Carrie, Human Centipede 2, Silent Hill: Revelation and Bride Of Chucky (I would quite happily say that the Child's Play/Chucky films are some of my favourites in general.)
Comedy: The Campaign, Pitch Perfect, Not Another Teen Movie (as a lover of cheesy 90's teen movies, this is one of my favourites in general aswell) and The Breakfast Club.
Drama: Trainspotting, This Is England and Cyberbully (I honestly don't think I've cried more at a film than I did because of Cyberbully.)
Sci-Fi & Fantasy: (The first two choices are debatable as to whether they're really sci-fi or fantasy but because they're superhero movies, they're going in here ok.) Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2. Avengers Assemble, Star Wars: Return of The Jedi.

TV shows I've been loving this month:
Cake Boss and Cake Boss only. Last week was half term and I got through 3 and a half seasons of that beauty of a TV show. I don't know why I got so addicted, I just did.
Alright, I watched the whole second series of Some Girls aswell. I'm so upset that the second series has finished, I hope they make a third.

Video games I've been loving this month:
New Super Mario Bros - Nintendo DS.
Dead Rising 2 - Xbox 360.
Pokemon Emerald - Game Boy Advance. (Thank god for emulators, hey.)

Drinks I've been loving this month:
Cookie dough flavour Frijj milkshake, Pepsi Max and Pink Lemonade flavour Lucozade.

Food I've been loving this month:
Sweetcorn, hotdog, egg and ham pasta salad (it's delicious, I promise.)

Make up items I've been loving this month: There's not been an awful lot as I haven't had much money to be able to buy new items. Esteé Lauder Double Wear foundation, Rimmel Match Perfection foundation (I actually have to mix both of those foundations together to get a perfect shade. Long story short, woman at House of Fraser matched Double Wear a shade too dark for my skin but luckily I had my Rimmel Match Perfection lying around the house in a shade that was one lighter than my skin tone, lucky 'ey?) Great Lash Mascara by Maybelline, Undress Me Too Palette by MUA and MUA One Direction lipstick in the shade I Want.

Skincare products I've been loving this month: Not sure if you can count some of these as skin care but I'm going to anyway - Candy Swirl body scrub by Baylis & Harding, Flake Away by Soap and Glory and Garnier Moisture Match Goodbye Dry, Garnier Soft and Complete Cleansing Wipes.

Life favourites: Well I can't really say anything interesting has happened in October besides finding out I may be going down to Essex for a few days to visit my best friend, Joe for New Years.

Am I looking forward to next month? I don't know, depends if anything decent is happening in November, haha!



So that's been mine October favourites, I really hoped you enjoyed reading it and I might make a habit of it (yey!)

So that's all for now,
Rachel xo
