Love Tanya // Review

Hello.

I'm a massive YouTube fan, so I was really excited to hear that Tanya Burr was releasing a book, and knew I had to get it as soon as I had enough money.

I absolutely love this book. I think it's a really cool idea, because it's an autobiography but it includes gorgeous photos of Tanya, as well as top 10 lists and space for you to write your own things. It also includes a baking section, with loads of different recipes, which I think is a really cool idea!

I love this book and I'd recommend it to everyone, even if you're not a huge Tanya fan.

Expert Face Brush vs Buffing Brush

Hello.

I've always used the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush for my foundation, but recently I've switched to the Buffing Brush. Here's what I like about both of them.

Expert Face Brush

I quite like the texture of the expert face brush. Although it doesn't feel as soft and fluffy to use on your face, I feel like this applies a lot more foundation, which means thicker coverage, something I definitely need. My only problem is that you have to take really good care of it. If you don't wash it for a while, it feels like you're applying makeup with a rock, and this is the third version of this brush that I've purchased because the other two became unusable.


Buffing Brush

The buffing brush feels a lot lighter on my skin, and I feel that it blends better, so if you're using a foundation that needs a lot of blending, Nars Sheer Glow for example, I'd really recommend this brush. The only thing I prefer the expert face brush for is coverage, but I feel like if you had time, this brush could probably build more coverage.

Which one do you prefer?

Favourite Male YouTubers

Hello.

Last week, I counted down my Top 5 Female YouTubers (which you can read here), so I wanted to also tell you my Top 5 Male YouTubers, except I only have 4 this week. That's awkward.

Troye Sivan
Anyone that's been reading my blog for a long time, or following me on Twitter or Instagram, will know that I am in love with Troye. He was always going to be my favourite channel.

Thatcher Joe
Joe's videos are hilarious. I feel like you really get to know him as a person, and I'm always excited to see his newest video every Sunday.

Caspar Lee
Caspar's life seems so interesting, and I really love watching all his adventures.

Tyler Oakley
It's hard to watch Tyler's videos with a straight face because of the energy he brings to all of his videos. He's such a happy, funny person and his videos always cheer me up.

February Favourites // 2015

Hello.

I wanted to share with you a few things I've been loving throughout February!

MAC Party Line Lipstick
I bought this lipstick at the start of the month, and was a little bit terrified of it. It's a dark red colour, and I wasn't sure if it would suit me, but I wanted to give it a go. I've been wearing this practically all month and I love it so much!

Bourjois Eye Shadow Palette
In my opinion this eyeshadow palette is up there with my Naked palette and my MAC palette! It stays on for ages, the colours are really pigmented and I'd recommend it to absolutely everyone as a cheap alternative to the Naked palettes.

Cheryl Cole Eyelashes
I've been getting into wearing eyelashes more often this month, and I really like these ones. They are a little bit more on the pricey side, but they'll last for ages and I really like them.

Zoella Makeup Bag
As my last beauty favourite, I really wanted to mention this makeup bag. I love everything from Zoe's beauty line so I knew I'd like this, but for such a small bag, it fits loads of things in, and I've found it really useful this month.

Real Love by Tom Odell
I know this song was big around December time (thanks John Lewis advert that made me cry), but I've only recently fell in love with it. It's such a cute song and makes me feel all happy and warm and lovely and I love it.

Elastic Heart by Sia
I really like Sia, and I think she's so talented. I loved Chandelier, so I kind of knew I'd like this, but it's become one of my favourite songs this month!

What have you been loving this month?
