what's in my pencil case 2016

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks post featuring what is in my pencil case for 2016!!
So if you live in Australia like me, you would of been back to school for a couple of weeks now :( I hope everything is going well and you have had a successful start to the new school year. I understand how boring and stressful school can get, so I just thought that why don't we make the year super creative and fun by having nice pencil cases, books, clothes, and more. So please treat yourself to a nice new pencil case and stock it with some fun stationary. I really love doing it, so I hope you do to.
First of all, my pencil case is from Cotton On and it was around $10. I also have a little keyring on the side that is from Suprè. I love everything about this pencil case. It's marble and i'm obsessed with marble print at the moment. It is a perfect size which is great as I find it hard to get just the right size in a pencil case. Even though it's not too big, it fits sooo much! I'm even digging it's massive zip haha!
Everything in my pencil case is from K-mart. I think K-mart has done a great job this year with the "Back to School" hype. So do go check it out. I am absolutely loving some of there stuff! I pretty much have a lot of the essential stuff but have chosen the pretty versions like you should all do. I also highly recommend including a lip balm and hand sanitiser because there is nothing worst that having dirty hands and chapped lips at school!
I hope you enjoyed having a little peak inside my pencil case and it inspires you to explore the world of stationary and making it fun. I can't wait for next weeks post. See you then!!

january favourites

- Zoella 'Scrubbing me softly' smoothing body scrub
This scrub is one of my favourite products from Zoella's beauty line. All I do is rub it over my dry skin then wash it off in the bath or shower. I find this gives me the best results. I am in love with the scent and the way it leaves my skin is incredible!

- Cndirect makeup brushes
To be honest I wasn't expecting these brushes to be amazing. Then they got delivered and I was completely wrong. They look stunning on my vanity and work miracles. They are so incredibly soft and distribute products over my face perfectly. I highly recommend these brushes, as they are so cheap as well.

- Ari by Ariana Grande
I have used so much of this perfume this month. The fragrance is amazing and I always get so many compliments when I wear it. I also love the bottle! It looks so beautiful on my vanity.

- Garnier Body Summer
Being summer at the moment in Australia I want my body to look as sun-kissed as possible. I'm not into heavy fake tans, but I find this to work well for me. Basically it is a body moisturiser with a slight tint in it. It also smells 10 times better than proper fake tan.

- Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
This month I seem to have found my favourite mascara ever! I love it so much it's kind of crazy. Everything about it is amazing. The packaging is just gorgeous and the wand is insane. The length it gives my lashes is like no other mascara. If you don't have this mascara you are seriously missing out haha!

- 'Golden Wonder' Lush bath bomb
As Lush's christmas range has just been in stores, I have a lot of their products. I got so many of the 'Golden Wonder' bath bomb because it actually is incredible. The scent is very fresh and citrusy and the colours it produces is beautiful. I love the glitter in it too. I only have one left, so I don't know how I'm going to have to wait till next Christmas to re-purchase it.

- Tanya Burr lipgloss in 'I Found Nemo'
I have been wearing this lipgloss so much in January. It is a perfect summer lipgloss! It is a sort of peachy colour that looks so nice with a fresh pretty makeup look. I also love that all of Tanya Burr's lip glosses smell a bit like watermelon.

- The Body Shop Strawberry Lip Butter
Recently my lips got quite burnt and I found that the only thing that would help them was this. It soothed my lips straight away. I love that it is a butter consistency because I think that gave it it's nourishing moisture. It also tastes amazing as well and gave my lips a glossy finish which I liked cause then I didn't have to wear a lipgloss over the top with could potentially dry my lips out.

- Maybelline Baby Skin
This primer has saved my makeup from melting off my face this summer. I don't even want to imagine what I would look like if I didn't have this under my makeup. It has done an amazing job this primer and no others I have used come close to how well it worked.

-Simple Radiance Brightening Eye Cream
This product has made such a big difference in my skincare routine. I never really though of using an eye cream before but since this one isn't quite for anti-ageing purposes it has brightened under my eyes immensely.

- Sportsgirl Just Beachy Sea Salt Spray
My hair is naturally dead straight. This summer though, I really wanted for once some beachy curls. I couldn't be bothered using heat on my hair everyday as it takes quite a while and it can damage my hair. So instead I have been using this and it has done such a good job. All I do is spray a bit all over my hair and run my fingers through and in no time waves start to appear in my hair.

We hope you enjoyed this months favourites. Please keep sharing our blog, it means so much to us!
Lots of love
