December Favourites

Hello everybody!

It's that time of month again, favourites time!

I haven't really tried too many new products this month, a couple are old and a couple are new as I haven't spent too much money on myself in December. But I have really been liking a few things lately. 

Passion Fruit Body Butter

I was in The Body Shop a few weeks ago and I picked up the Cranberry body butter and I loved it! Then... I walked past a few days ago and spotted the passionately one!! I didn't see this the first time round and once I gave it a smell it had to be mine! 

Natural Collection Blush - Peach Melba

I only recently bought this and I'm glad I did! It's a very natural looking shade and very easy to wear, I've found myself reaching for this a lot lately. 

Bourjois Blush - 34 Golden Rose

I've had this for a while now but recently I've been using it a lot more! There's something very festive and pretty about it, it's the perfect pretty pink shade with a hint of shimmer. Perfect.

Revlon Blushed Lipstick and Revlon Super Natural Lipgloss

I'm including these together because they're probably my most worn lip combo of the month. I'm not a huge nude lips wearer, but I have been loving these two lately! 

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Another oldie that I've recently started using again a lot more. It's great for foundation and I also like to use it for blush, they're so easy to use.

E45

A very old product that has recently became a staple for my handbag, I literally don't know where I have been without this my whole adult life. I recently had some skin issues and purchased this on a whim, not only did it majority help my skin but it's been my best friend ever since. Got a burn? E45. Got dry skin? E45. Fell over? E45.

I love it.

And that's all for December, not too many but all things I've loved, what have you been loving? 

What's on my night stand?

One thing you may not know about me, is that I'm a very sleepy person. Once I'm tired and in bed, there is no moving me, I am going to sleep.

This however, can be a problem when it comes to my night time beauty regime. 

One trick I've learnt is by keeping everything right next to my bed really does help! It not only encourages me to use the products, like eye cream and body butter, but it's also great for when I'm feeling lazy.

I tend to shower at night time anyway, so I clean my face in the shower, but then once in bed I use these products to help my skin over night so I can go straight to sleep and not have to worry about forgetting to moisturise.

Firstly, as I'm prone to very dry skin, especially in Winter, I use the No 7 Brightening Night Cream on my face. This is quite heavier than the typical day moisturiser so I like to apply quite a bit to my face before I sleep to let it absorb through the night.

Then a recent purchase of mine is the Body Shop's Cranberry Joy Body Butter. 

I am really bad when it comes to moisturising my body. I am very lazy and can never really be bothered to do it. So I bought this to keep next to my bed so I will have no excuse but to use it every single night. It smells amazing too!

 For lips I pulled out an old favourite, I have a stash of these in my make up drawer because I used to love them. They are the Marks and Spencer's lip balms, you can pick them up near the counter at M&S and I love them. They are super moisturising and great for applying before bed.

Lastly is an eye cream. (Excuse the gross packaging, this is an oldie too). 

I never really apply eye cream. I know I'll regret that in the future but for me it just never seem necessary. However, I am aware of the importance of it, so I have put this Balance Me, Wonder Eye Cream next to my bed so at least I'm getting some use out of it. 

So that's it. I have found this definitely helps me use these products more and I know I will thank myself in the long run for it.
