September Love List



This post is a list of what I've been loving this month, it may change from month to month, but it won't just be beauty/makeup!

I haven't really bought that much this month as I've been away but here are a few things that I have been using and/or enjoyed, old and new!

Country 

I have obviously loved America this month seeing as that's where I have spent most of it! I loved loved loved Las Vegas and New York, and I'm currently looking at going back there soon! I made lots of great memories here and cannot wait to make more in the future! 

Check out my last blog post about my Travels in America! 



Netflix Show 

Me and my boyfriend started watching Narcos in the US and are currently working our way threw it! It's a good series based on true events from the 80s.

Make up 

I haven't really bought anything new this month, but I did re purchase Benifit RollerLash mascara in duty free, which I haven't stopped loving since I first got one for my birthday in June! I have also been enjoying using a EOS lip balm, I recently purchased it in Target whilst away, I got the strawberry and coconut flavour, It's a really nice balm to use, great taste and helps keep your lips really hydrated. I have been after a bronze colour eyeshadow so I popped into Mac whilst in New York, and picked one up in the shade 'Bronze'! I am also still loving my Mac lipstick I picked up in Paris in the colour 'syrup' it's a really gorgeous nudie pink! 


Sunglasses 
I bought a new pair of ray bans whilst I'm New York so these are definitely going into my love list for this month. I got the Ray Ban Polarised with a gold rim and blue/reflective lense. They fit really nicely and are very comfortable to wear. 


Bag 
My Michael Kors bag I purchased again whilst in New York ( I think this list has a theme!). It's a great little side bag in the colour Merlot, this seasons colour apparently! I also couldn't resist getting a little Michael Kors fluffy key ring to go with it! 


Food

We found the nicest sandwich company whilst in NY called Potbelly, they do the freshest, tastiest sandwiches, I would definitely recommend the Mediterranean on white if you ever get the chance to go to one, the also do the best chocolate milkshakes!!


I thinks this is about it guys, thank you for reading this post!

America 2015

I've recently arrived home from three weeks traveling some of America with my boyfriend, I'm still trying to break through the jet lag!

We started our journey on the 2nd of September, we traveled from London to San Francisco. 

We arrived at a great little hotel on 4th street called The Mosser, great little room and good location! We did the typical tourist thing (we did in all the places that we went to) and bought a Big Bus Tour ticket, now I think these are a great idea, especially if your new to the area! You can purchase a 48 hour ticket for a reasonable price and then use it to hop on and off all around the city, whilst having a tour guide show you around at the same time!








We then moved on to LA, staying at The Banana Bungalow Hostel, West Hollywood! This was a great sized room and again in a good location. 
We had a great bus tour around Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, I didn't spot any celebrities though! 




If you are a cheesecake lover like myself you'll appreciate this..

Moving on to Las Vegas! This was by far my favorite place! We stayed at the famous Caesars Palace, it was A Mazing, I loved the fact it was so over the top, crazy and in your face! 
This was the hottest place we went, when you opened the door to go outside it was like you were walking into an oven, so we did spend a lot of out time walking through the hotels and shops to keep cool! 
I couldn't believe how big out hotel complex were, there was a shopping mall inside with restaurants. 

Now I don't know how to gamble, but I did win a whopping $1.75 on a slot machine! Any win is a win I guess.. 







We also went on a 17hour round trip to the Grand Canyon.. The Grand Canyon was absolutely amazing.. The coach ride not so much. I would defiantly recommend anyone to go and see the Grand Canyon!! 



Don't worry I have limited myself to how many photos I will put up of the Grand Canyon..




Last stop was a 5 hour flight to New York City! We stayed at Pod 39 on 39th Street. This was a great little 'pod' room, it has a roof top bar which has fantastic views over Manhattan, the bar staff are also so friendly and most night gave us free drinks, which of course we enjoyed! Adjoining to the hotel was Salvation Taco a cute little Mexican restaurant/ Bar which served the most delicious Mexican food! 













I cannot describe how much I loved traveling around America, I would love to return there again soon to some more states/cities! 

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my photos
