Top 5 Autumn TV Picks

Hello everyone!


I'm quite a fan on TV show, predominately anything from America as they have some really good shows these days! I thought I'd share my top five programmes of the season and tell you why I love them!

The Good Wife - Sundays on CBS
Well what can I say about this? I watched the first six seasons in two months and was hooked from the first episode. I love the characters, the story lines have been amazing and 'that' character's death in season five was a shocker. And let's talk about the last season! WHAT THE HELL KALINDA AND CARY. I'm hooked on this and now season seven has started, I can't wait to see what they have in store.

How To Get Away With Murder - Thursdays on ABC
Where do I start? I wrote up my feelings as I watched the season one finale, and the new season is already bringing up questions. We already know who killed Rebecca - which I was shocked they revealed so soon into the season, but now we have flashfowards of what's to come in this season and HOLY CRAP. What is with all the death and blood and mystery?? If anything, my money is on Frank being the murderer for everything. I'm still in shock from season one!

The Big Bang Theory - Mondays on CBS
Who does't love this show? It makes me so happy that this is season nine and it's still so popular! I love the characters so much and I seriously ship Sheldon and Amy, so the ending of last season broke my nerdy heart. As for the new season so far, it's been great and episode three had me cry laughing at parts of it! If you've never watched this, please do!

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D - Tuesdays on ABC
If you've been with this blog for two years, you know how much of a Marvel fan and geek girl I am. I love that they made this show to fill the void between Marvel movies and that it's all tied into the films somehow - even if the film universe are still refusing to acknowledge this... My fave characters are Fitz and Simmons and I'm still waiting for them to get together after that explosive finale back in season one...

Scandal - Thursdays on ABC
I still think this is one of Shonda's best shows alongside HTGAWM. Season five has started and already there is drama. I'm still loving Huck and Quinn's weird relationship, I think Olivia and Abby are kicking ass, and I am OBSESSED with Bellamy Young as the wonderful Senator Mellie Grant. That woman is a goddess. If you've not seen this so far, give it a watch and see if you can piece things together before it happens!


Have you seen any of the above and which shows are your fave for the new season? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Zoella Let's Spritz Body Mist | Review

Hello everyone!



You may have seen that Zoella has released a new set of products for her beauty product range, adding to the previous products from last Autumn. You can see all the available products at Superdrug! If you remember when the other range came out, I tried three products and was really underwhelmed and disappointed in the products and the scent. You can read that review here

I've got the foam shower gel from the new range already, but I picked up this one while on holiday in August! This retails at £8 in Superdrug, and I don't think that's too bad for the size of this and what the products is itself. It's quite similar to the body mist spray from the first rage, but with the new tutti fruity scent. 




The packaging is really cute like last time, and I like all the pastel colours and the little lace patterns that cover all the items. As it's part of the 'tutti fruity' range, I was really hoping for a strong scent of fruits that would be miles better than the last range - and it's not too bad. 

The scent is nice actually, and though it's not the strongest scent in the world, it's perfect for having a quick freshen up! I used this the other day and you can definitely smell it when using it and it's quite strong for a few minutes and then fades a little for a few hours - the scent didn't last too long after that really. I could still smell it on my skin for about an hour, which isn't too bad - but I'd have liked something that lasted longer than that. It's obviously not a perfume so it's going to last for ages, but it's good for a quick spritz and go!

Compared to the last products in the last range, this one seems a lot better and the scent is at least bearable compared to the previous one! The products are also not tested on animals, which is an added bonus. Have you tried any of the Zoella range, past or current? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Real Techniques Stippling Brush | Review

Hello everyone!



Yesterday on a little solo shopping trip, I stumbled (aka walked straight over to) the beauty section in Asda Living, and found a few of the Real Techniques brushes. As much as I wanted all five they had on offer, I decided on just the Stippling Brush for me to use with my foundation. It was only £10.99, which I thought was pretty good considering I've seen it for £12 in other stores (however the given link is for Boots at £11.99).






It's perfect for my foundation, so I'm really happy with this little purchase. The brush is so soft and really works the product onto you without trying to hard! It's definitely different to how I would use my Expert Face brush, but this gave a nice overall finish to my look.

I think it would be better suited for my evenings out, as it gives such a good finish to my foundation. Whereas day-to-day I'm not too fussed! So happy to have added to my collection!

How many of the Real Technique brushes do you own?? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
