So here's a few of beauty & lifestyle items that I've been loving throughout the month of February.

1. Les Misérables -
In particular the songs. If you haven't heard them, the Les Misérables songs are pretty amazing. I've found that if I'm feeling a bit down (post-birthday blues maybe) or even just a little sleepy, singing my heart out along with Anne Hathaway and Samantha Banks has been the perfect pick me up this month.
2. New Look's Kabuki Brush [x] -
When I was got this brush I really wasn't expecting too much. However I've been loving using this recently. I've been using this pretty much everyday this month to apply and set my face powder & it works perfectly. The bristles are so soft and it's the perfect size for me. Plus for only £3.99 this brush is an absolute bargain!
3. Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser [x] -
As much as I love brands like Nivea and Simple for face products, recently I've loved using the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. Although a little pricer then Nivea/Simple etc. This is the only cleanser that really removes all my make-up and leaves my skin feeling so soft. Plus I also find that if any pesky spots pop up, this cleanser is incredible at quickly shrinking down again.
4. Barry M Baby Pink Nail Varnish [x] -
I've had this shade of polish on my nails for roughly a week now and I've received so many compliments from people saying how pretty it looks. In addition to the kind words, the polish hasn't chipped once - which is always a great bonus. I hate nothing more then taking the time to paint my nails only for them to chip within a few hours.
5. Cinderella Latte Mug [x] -
I was given this mug by my work colleagues as one of my birthday presents and I absolutely love it! If there's one thing I need to get through a day in the office, it's definitely coffee and this is one of my favourite mugs to use. What Disney lover wouldn't love this sitting on their desk?!
6. The Gym [x] -
After months of saying I'd do it, I finally bit the bullet and joined the gym. Whilst looking around there were many different gyms to choose from - but I really wanted something that wasn't going to eat away at my money - yet still offered everything I wanted to start getting into shape. I eventually decided on a company called The Gym Group. They have gyms up and down the country and are very pocket friendly at only £12.99 a month, and has all the equipment I need and more. I may not be anywhere near to an athlete yet, but I've loved going to the gym this month as it leaves me feeling so much healthier.
7. Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation [x] -
After reading such good reviews on this foundation I couldn't resits buying it a few months back. Now this foundation has become my everyday foundation. Now I wouldn't know if it really lasts 25 hours (who has their foundation on for that amount of time?) but it last pretty much all day. I also love the coverage this foundation provides as it covers any redness or blemishes on my skin.
8. Orange Is The New Black -
I started watching Orange Is The New Black around 2 weeks ago (I know, I know - where have I been?) & I'm roughly about half way through the first season. If you didn't know - Orange Is The New Black is about Piper Chapman, a 30 something year old woman, who is sent to prison for a crime she committed ten years ago. The show follows the highs and lows that Piper faces as she adjusts to life behind bars.
I'm already hooked to Orange Is The New Black & would 100% recommend it if you're looking for something new to watch.
