Hello people! I am so excited today, and you want to know why? Just now, I found out that I have had exactly 1000 views! I just want to say thank you to anyone who reads my blog posts, whether that's regularly or you just read one post, because you have made my day! I hope that's a sign that you like my posts, haha... ;) Anyway, now that I have said what I really wanted to say, let's get on with the blog post!
Before I get on with this post: I have decided to make these Latest Obsessions posts into general stuff that I have been loving recently instead of just beauty because I thought it would be nice to include some of the other stuff that I really like at the moment.
I will, however, start this off with a beauty obsession. This is the VO5 Heat Protect Styling spray, I have been using this so much recently because I have been styling up my hair lots recently. This heat protecting spray is the best one I've ever used, honestly! It does exactly what it says it does on the tin (or bottle rather!), it gives your hair an absolutely gorgeous satin soft and ultra shine finish. After I have blow-dried my hair with this having been sprayed in before-hand, I just automatically feel the difference and how nice my hair feels and even looks after. It also protects your hair up to 230*c which is good, especially when your using a heat tool on your hair like a curling wand.
Next up are these cool Popcult pencils I have been using since I got back at school. I got them from livinginlalaland.co.uk which is a really quirky online shop with little stationary bits, clothes, jewellery and other things that are just very different. They sell loads of Popcult pencils that come in sets of 3 and have quotes from either a film or TV series. I got two different sets, the purple pencils have quotes from Pitch Perfect on and the multi-coloured pencils have quotes from Big Bang Theory (yes, I like Big Bang Theory, OK. Problem?) I really think they just make my school day so much better when I just get a pencil out and read a funny quote from one of my favourite films or series.
This has been so helpful at the moment because I am in the midst of a huge breakout all over my face! I wasn't using this much until recently when I was just like, I need to find something that works for my bad acne and I found this again! It's the Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control 3-in-1 Daily Cleansing Lotion. Its literally been my spot hero in the past few days and as I'm using it every day, it is helping my spots go down much more!
The next thing is the Oil-Free Moisturiser by Visibly Clear. I know that this sounds kind of bad but I wasn't using my face moisturiser a lot of the time because I didn't feel I needed it and my face is naturally very oily so I thought it would just make my face feel even more sweaty than it already looked (can I just say that oil is not sweat so when my face gets shiny during the day - I am not overly sweaty, thank you very much!).
However, since using the cleansing lotion that I mentioned just before, I realised my face was getting extremely dry so I knew I needed to use it after I cleansed my face to make sure it was moisturised. The good thing about this though, is that it is oil-free, hydrates, smoothes and evens out skin tone so after I have put it on, my skin just feels so much better.
Now, I was being extremely lazy during the holidays about shaving my legs (I was wearing trousers or leggings a lot of the time, alright?!) so I wasn't moisturising my legs as often but now that I'm back at school and we wear skirts and have PE (shivers...) I have to shave my legs a lot more. This moisturiser is from Avon and it is the Nourishing Indulgence Sugar Plum and Vanilla hand and body lotion. It smells just amazing and has a slight hint of purple colour in the actual lotion which looks pretty, I think anyway. I have had this moisturiser for a long, long, long... time and I still haven't managed to finish the bottle although I'm getting closer!
And another moisturiser! I really like this, it is the Honeymania Hand Cream from The Body Shop. I love all The Body Shop things but this has to be one of my favourites and I carry it around with me nearly all the time, especially now I have school. I know that the honey smell is very strong and sweet so it is an aquired taste but I really like it and it just feels so nice to put on your hands and actually, it feels very luxurious! Also, it has Community Fairtrade honey from Ethiopia in.
Finally, I am reading one of my favourite YouTubers' book, Life With A Sprinkle of Glitter by Louise Pentland. I have quite a few YouTuber books but I only recently just got Sprinkle of Glitter's one and I love it! I'm very into books you can just pick up whenever you want and go to any place you want and this is one of those books. So far I have read the Meeting Celebrities page, the whole Need To Knows sections which has some very good advice about school, bullying and self-esteem, I have also briefly looked at the Anti-Baking part which is quite funny! Let me know what your favourite part is if you have the book in the comments down below.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post, I know I didn't post at all last week but I have been trying to get back into the swing of things at school and I have already been loaded with piles of homework! Hopefully, though, I can keep on posting new blog posts every week for you! Anyway, that's all for now. Before I go, another HUGE thank to everyone who has looked at my blog or is reading it right now! Post soon xx
** Who is watching the X Factor (UK) this year? I am! I think the judges are really good this year and I think that Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora were great choices for being judges. And there's also Olly Murs helping present the show!**
