May Favourites

Here we go again! This month I feel that I haven't really watched much or tried many new things but here are my May favourites. My goal next month is to try new perfumes rather than just stick to my old fragrances. But anyway here is what I've been loving in May. 

Beauty 

I'm starting with beauty because I just felt like it and I feel like this section isn't too extravagant. However, even though I am saying this, there is one brand I'm loving; and that brand is Fenty. ALL my makeup products are slowly turning to Fenty as I just cannot get enough of Rihanna's makeup brand. Plus, I adore Rihanna so why wouldn't I buy her products?? I'm especially loving her highlighter in 'Whatabratt' and her matchstick in 'Unicorn' and you'll see why when I paste the pictures down below. Also, I'm loving her Summer range, the new 'popsicle' lipsticks are just lush. 

My next beauty favourite is a perfume called 'Good Girl' by Carolina Herrera. This perfume smells so fresh but so musky, it's got to be my favourite perfume of all time; it's an everyday perfume, so you can wear it all day, at anytime . It's quite expensive, but I will definitely buy it again.

Fashion 

I've only got two fashion favourites this month. I have been loving these Topshop wide jeans and blocky white trainers. I feel that I wear these ALL the time, and I feel that these  items are definitely staple items you should have in your wardrobe. Items will be linked in the descriptions so you can check it out or buy these products for your wardrobe. Side note; even though I have not been wearing this t-shirt often this month as I have only just bought it, I will also link the t-shirt brand down below.

Jeans ~ Topshop Wide Leg Jeans 
Shoes ~ Misguided Chunky Trainers 

Miscellaneous 

I have been loving some new music lately as I have finally joined the Shawn Mendes bandwagon. I listened to his album 'Shawn Mendes' and had to buy it because it was too good not to. Thank you to some people who haven been telling me to join the Shawn Mendes fandom because it's honestly great. Also, I have been loving podcasts this month as I feel that they relax and motivate me.  I love listening to different topics and listening to other people's opinions on things. Down below I will give you an insight into my favourite podcasts this month. However, I would like to listen to more, so in the comments down below recommend  me your favourite podcasts, and I'll give it a listen.

Netflix Must Watch: 'Someone Great'

Hi guys, 

as you know I've recently had exams so obviously I've been revising for those. But now I haven't, so it's time to binge watch everything I wanted to before going into these exams. 

I wanted to start off these movie reviews by reviewing a film I have really wanted to watch. It's a romantic comedy called 'Someone Great'. However, it is not your typical 'rom-com', while it is funny it's juxtaposed with the grief of going through a breakup. 

'Someone Great' is a typically girly movie, set in New York, and focuses on an aspiring music journalist (Jenny's) transition as she has been accepted at 'Rolling Stones' magazine and has to move to San Fransisco, as the job is there. Unfortunately, this causes her 9 -year relationship to end, which is truly heartbreaking to watch as we as the audience get to experience the trails and tribulations within the relationship. 

Hint; certain songs and moments trigger her memories off, so watch out for those. 

While we as the audience get to experience her relationship, there are two other subplots which are also included within the main plot; surrounding her two friends Erin and Blair. I will not spoil this for you as I truly urge you to watch it. 

The wardrobe, cinematography and soundtracks which are used within the movie are basically a millennial's dream come true. Plus 'Someone Great' stars 3 amazing female actors: Gina Rodriguez (Jenny), Brittany Snow (Blair) and DeWanda Wise (Erin). 

While the movie does not end on a typical 'rom-com' happy ending, Jenny's silique is definitely 'food for thought'. This movie is not about finding 'the one', but I personally think it is about growing up and feeling comfortable in your own skin without having a significant other beside you. 

Hopefully you'll watch it, or you have already viewed  it. In the comments let me know your thoughts and favourite moments within the movie. 

Until next time...

Must Watch: Fleabag

I asked you guys on Twitter and Instagram if you wanted this and most of you wanted the review so here it is! Can I just say how excited I am about writing a review about this, it ticks all my boxes: half an hour episodes, good cast and good plot line. I LOVED IT!! 

I know it was released aggggeeesss ago, but I watched this due to a Youtuber's recommendation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPO0A_Pjrac) I've linked the video so you can watch it, but after hearing that review I knew I had to watch it. I also listened to Estée Lanlonde's podcast called 'On The Line' with Sammi Maria and she talked about watching Fleabag again. That's it I thought, you have to watch this programme due to the amount of good reviews on it. 

So I watched it, I watched Season 1 on Amazon Prime, and I watched Season 2 on BBC iPlayer. While I binged Season 2 (I had to because it was SO good), I watched Season 1 within a couple of days. However, I didn't like Season 1 as much as Season 2 as I think the first Season is darker than Season 2. But I do recommend watching Season 1 beforehand so you get to know Fleabag's backstory as to why her life is falling apart. 

Also, can i just talk about how hot the priest is in Season 2 , OMG he is to die for honestly! Furthermore, I like how his relationship with Fleabag grows over the Season, however it does end on a bittersweet ending! 

I love the writing and I love how this was first a play and I wish I got tickets for Fleabag the play at the Westend, but I think it's now sold out (cue tears falling down eyes). 

Even though it is on Amazon Prime, both seasons are on BBC iPlayer, and I hope they stay on there because it is such a good watch. If I could sum it up in three phrases  I would say: girl power, toxic relationships and learning to love yourself. 

Finally, I just have to say that I'm considering watching Season 2 again because it's just so witty and heartbreaking at the same time, it is honestly the best thing on iPlayer. It's only 12 episodes in total (6 for Season 1 and 6 for Season 2) so it won't take you too long to watch, I mean it's only half an hour per episode, so you can watch it after revision or if you're relaxing. 

I'll even start watching 'Killing Eve' as Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the actress who played Fleabag), wrote 'Killing Eve' so if you like 'Killing Eve' watch 'Fleabag' or visa versa. 

I loved this show so much and it's so sad that it's ended.
