So it's officially Autumn.
And I'm not sure if as excited about it. I mean it means that the heater now needs to be turned on, no more barbeques, no more spontaneous trips to the seaside. It does mean a new season so of course, I had to do a little bit of shopping to make me feel better about the weather. So this is a summary of what I bought.
1) Eye shadow brushes -£3
I got these from Wish the app which I'm sure you've all heard of. I was a bit apprehensive because it was so cheap and almost looked a bit scammy but it was great it came one week after I ordered it. The bristles were a bit raggedy had to cut them a bit but otherwise, it was all right for a pound.

2) Eyeliner -£3

I got this new eyeliner on the cheap mainly because I didn't really need it but I wanted to try it. I have heard so much about elf cosmetics so I decided to give them a go. I think this cost £3. So this works great for me because it's liquidy said easier to move because is my skin is quite rough and using pencils or Kohl makes it a bit difficult.
3) Dry shampoo £3.99
So I got this spray when I went to a sleepover and it was also washing day so I decided to take the lazy route and just get dry shampoo I was a bit apprehensive because I felt it was just gonna turn my hair white. It didn't but it didn't clean it either which is fine it just made it smell nicer which is also fine.
4) Body Spray £3.99
I saw this in my sister's room and I always sprayed it during emergencies ( run out of perfume emergencies) so it seemed right to get one for myself. However, I did not expect it to be so strong. Literally, one spray of this can fill up a room in 10 seconds believe me I've tried that.
5) Diary £1



This diary was an impulse buy at the £1 shop I thought I might just start getting my life organized for the next academic year I haven't used it yet but it looks promising.

 6) Eyeshadow Palette £8


So I'm not a great eyeshadow wearer, mainly because I don't know how to wear eyeshadow. I have hooded eyes so it's hard enough wearing eyeliner. But I decided to buy some eyeshadow.It cost about £6 I think and I'm quite excited to use.

So that's it for today I'll have new posts every Sunday.
Love, Rose Cocoa.

So you know when your on a road trip or at a party or even studying and the playlist is a little bit.. bleeh, And you've had it up to here with the same songs over and over again in the top charts, Well I do Have a remedy for you.Now this is to be used with caution, You cannot over dose with this (overplaying songs ever and over again is what got you into this mess anyway!).
Anyway I present to you...



Lovely day-Bill withers                                                                                                            
The reason I picked this was really the chorus like I always have a competition to see who can hold the longest note but my lungs are weak, very weak. Nevertheless, you should try it out
R-E-S-P-E-C-T- Aretha Franklin                                                                                                   
 I'm pretty sure I don't even need to explain this song. Just listen to it and you mood will rise up 10 levels,trust me.                                  
Single ladies-Beyonce                                                                                                                      
This song is like a metaphorical light bulb,It just lightens up everything and res assured everyones gonna be dancing to this, in any situation
The climb-  Miley Cyrus                                                                                                                  
Its inspirational, beautiful and pre 2013 so it's pretty good
This will be-Natalie Cole                                                                                                                 
This is hands down the best song youll ever hear in your life.It just reminds me of  summer and suun and all things haaat! (Yes, that's from frozen)

That's it from moi, let me know if you liked any of the songs!
Rose xx

I had just finished a four days of full on shifts so I decided to have a day to calm down and take a breath before going back to study mode. I heard that sea air is good for the soul so I decided, Brighton. And also I had never been to a pebble beach before so I thought I'd give it a try.
My first mistake was going on a Saturday, during the holidays in spring time. There were people EVERYWHERE. And being in crowded places shoots my stress levels straight up on top of being in a new area but it was all worth it! The sights were beautiful, the food was great and the entertainment was on point!
The Royal Pavallion


The Beach

 The Royal Pavallion
ootd


The ice cream that was really,really nice


5 Things I loved about Brighton
  1. The food - I had the most amazing fish and chips I'd every had in my life. It cost £7.50 but boy did it fill me up. It was so delicious the fish, my god the FISH! You need to try it out before you die guys! It's that good.
  2. The Pier - It was really crowded yesterday but the rides, especially the Turbo were really good! There's something there for everyone
  3. The sights - The gardens were beautiful,the beach was beautiful, the architechture was gorgeous, every thing was picture perfect.
  4. The shops - There's a whole lot of independent business in brighton and this means that theres also a whole lot of uniqueness in the products that the sell.
  5. The sun. It's really sunny there!
I loved Brighton and I'd love to go back it next time, it would be during the week day!

So March has come and gone so quickly and the sun has finally decided to show after all this time and I'm living for it! So without  further ado,
My Monthly Favourites!
Just Pink Strawberry lip balm £3


This lip balm is my lord and saviour. It has dragged my lips from the deepest of dark and chapped places and the best thing is that it doesn't get addictive.So since you stop using it, your lips stay healthy!

Eyeliner £6.50


http://www.boots.com/soap-and-glory-supercat-eyeliner-pen-carbon-black-extreme-10171496
For someone who uses potted eyeliner, this pen saved me so much time. However
the shade of black  isn't as dark.
Mascara £7.99

http://www.boots.com/rimmel-london-wonderfull-mascara-10179405
This really does do wonderful things to my lashes.My eyelashes are very curled but very thin and this mascara doesn't take away the curl factor but it does add on a lot of volume.

Body Spray £3

http://www.boots.com/ted-baker-white-mini-body-spray-50ml-10214241
Ok, I'm not really good at describing scent but its like the sort of scent you'd smell on a business woman who was her life together and throws the bombest cocktail parties every winter break.
That's it for My monthly faves! Whatt are you monthly faves for this month?

When I first watched Pride and Prejudice(The one with Keira Knightley) I was enchanted with it.It was when I first fell in love with the English countryside despite living next to it for as long as a remember. And that's what has inspired my playlist here.It's my... let's say playlist aesthetic for this post. I'm really bad at explaining so I thought I'd integrate pictures so that you understand better what I mean.
Anyway these are the most beautiful songs you'll every here

Dear 10 year old me,
It's ok, no one really cares if your accent is a little bit African.There's no need for you to try and blend it in. Don't be embarrassed about Mum and Dad's accent.It's actually great to have an accent. It shows that they can speak different languages.
That boy that you have a crush on? Don't even waste your energy on him. He isn't significant, he's not the love of your life, you'll find better looking and brighter boys in the future.Speak louder, what you have to say is valid.
Even if it's silly, it doesn't matter.

Love Rose
Ps
 High school musical is NOTHING like real life.
