January Favourites



Sanctuary Spa |  2 Day Moisture Shower Oil
I bought this last month whilst browsing the aisles of Boots and fell in love. It's such a luxury feeling product, it smells great and it feels great! I have been obsessed with it this month!

Laura Mercier  | Palette for Eyes, Cheeks & Lips
Another Christmas present from my boyfriend, that I have been using and loving everyday since I got it. The eyeshadows, lipgloss and blushes are all perfect for everyday use and the small packaging makes it great for travel.

Maybelline Colour Drama | Minimalist
I've had this for a while now, but this month I've found myself reaching for it more than ever. It's the perfect matte nude colour, that looks amazing on. It's the perfect 'my lips but better' colour that goes with every kind of make up look.

Charles Worthington | Texturising Spray
I've recently repurchased this after my previous can ran out, and have rekindled my love for it. In the winter I tend to straighten my hair a lot more and it has a tendency to fall flat quite often, this product is truly great if you are having a flat hair day, it gives you a great boost and just adds much more volume to your hair.

Rimmel | Matte BB Cream
I've recently done a post all about why I love this and it's definitely been on my face for the majority of this month. It's a great product for evening out your skin tone and just adding a light base for your make up.

The Body Shop | Vitamin C Skin Boost
Again, I've done a recent post about why I love this and have used it daily since I got it and my skin has been loving it. Definitely going to be something I'll continue to repurchase.

Marc Jacobs | Daisy Dream
I love all of Marc Jacobs' fragrances, but this one has been my most recent love. I'd definitely say it's much more of a spring/summer fragrance, but I've been using it constantly nonetheless. It's the perfect amount of girly without being too sweet or floral and I am obsessed with it. Also, look at that packaging!

The Body Shop | Vitamin C Skin Boost

The Body Shop skincare is slowly but surely becoming my favourite!
I am starting to try out more and more and loving everything I am trying.
I picked up the Vitamin C Skin Boost last month and have been making an effort to use it daily after moisturising. I'll start by saying that my make up applies, so much nicer over this. It creates a smooth layer that acts kind of as a base and makes your skin look and feel great, especially on those early mornings.
I am definitely making more of an effort to hydrate my skin this year and make it look as good as it possibly can, and I definitely will be repurchasing this!

Repurchased


As a person who loves to try out new products, it's not too often that I find myself repurchasing. 
However, The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil has just made it into the lucky few that I have.
I can't describe how much I love this product. 
If you are somebody who truly finds it such an effort to take your make up off at night, then this is definitely for you. 
It breaks down your make up and takes off everything, mascara, bold lipstick, everything.
It feels so nice on your skin too, I really do like using it.
I've tried the MAC Cleansing oil in the past (which is probably double the price) and I actually prefer this one. 

All you need is two pumps massaged on to your dry skin, then splash some water on to it to make a light lather, then wash it off. Voila. 
I don't think I'll ever find a product I love as much as this one, it's changed my skincare forever.

The Body Shop | Overnight Serum-in-Oil


If you read my blog you will probably know a little something about my ever growing love for The Body Shop skincare. 
I've shopped at The Body Shop for as long as I can remember and I feel like their products are getting better and better.

I picked up the Overnight Serum-in-Oil from the Vitamin E range a couple of months ago and have been using it every night since. As first it felt strange, applying an oil to my face, but after using it for a while I have found myself really liking it. 
My skin has a lot more added moisture and looks a lot less dull in the morning.

I'm going to keep using it before I can tell if it's a must-have product for myself, but for now my skin has been loving the extra bit of pampering before bed.

October Favourites!


Happy Halloween!
I'm quite excited for this months favourites because lately I've been trying out lots of new products, and I've been liking a lot of things, however, I've managed to narrow down that list to things that I've truly been loving this month and using on a daily basis.
Here goes...

Sleek 'Rose Gold' Blush
I'm almost certain this has featured in a favourites post before but I have recently rediscovered my love for it. It is literally autumn and winter in a blush, the perfect shade with a hint of glitter (who doesn't want glitter on their cheeks in the Christmas season?!)

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Another old favourite, I'm pretty sure I rediscovered/raved about this product last year, I bought it as my 'summer foundation' and when winter came around it was no longer summer I found myself needing to have it again. I popped to Boots, got a lighter shade and alas, it hasn't left my face since.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream
Weird fact about me, I'm very fussy when it comes to perfume. However, Marc Jacobs has never released a perfume that I didn't love, Daisy being my ultimate favourite. So when Daisy Dream was released in the cutest bottle ever, I knew it had to be mine.

So Susan Flutter Mascara
I received this product in a Glossy Box not too long ago and have fell in love. The packaging, the wand, the lasting power; it's brilliant. As the name suggests, it gives you very fluttery eyelashes, so if you prefer more full, big lashes then this may not be for you. But for me it is the perfect day to day mascara.

Bourjois Mega Liner
As I've mentioned previously on here, I'm quite a newbie to liquid liner therefore I tend to stick to the easy application ones. The easiest ones I have found are the felt tip ones. I used to use the Rimmel Scandaleyes ones great, but they dry out so quickly! This one has been my new 'go-to', it's super black and lasts all day as well as being much easier to apply than most others.

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
The perfect fuss free concealer. Coverage, easy application and lasting power. What more could you ask for in a concealer?

The Body Shop Vitamin E, Overnight Serum-In-Oil
After reading such good reviews about this online I decided it was about time I purchased it. I've loved The Body Shop for years and this one hasn't let me down. I apply it before bed and wake up with my skin feeling hydrated and feeling soft. I'm sure over time my skin will continue to thank me for using this.

May Favourites!

Hi! So it's been a while since I've done a monthly favourites post, it was difficult narrowing this down to just a few as there's been so many that I've been loving lately.
These are the ones I've been using almost, if not then every day for a while.
Enjoy. 


The Body Shop - Camomile Cleansing Oil
The quickest and most fool proof way to remove your male up, even eye make up.
Perfect for lazy people like me, doesn't make your skin feel greasy and does the job. Cheap and cheerful too. What's not to love?

Real Techniques Buffing Brush
After using the Expert Face Brush to apply foundation for as long as I can remember, the Buffing Brush came as such a pleasant surprise. Blends and buffs foundation in perfectly, also great for pressing on powder. Dreamy.

MAC Face and Body Foundation
A foundation I have wanted for a long time and heard countless rave reviews. I was not disappointed. The perfect go to foundation. Blends like a dream, glides on, does not cling to dry patches, looks natural, I could go on. I haven't used anything else since buying it. I am in love.

The Body Shop Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Butter
We all know how great the Body Shop body butters are, the scents and the actual moisturiser itself. The smell of this one though is incredible. Think Fromage Frais? I could sniff this all day. Probably one of my favourites so far.

Benefit Coralista Lipgloss
I got this as a sample size a while ago and kinda forgot about it until recently, I have found myself reaching for it more and more. It's the perfect glossy natural lip, it has a hint of coral and also looks great layered with my orange or coral lipsticks. It also smells great.

Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray
Speaking of scents, this scent is also lovely, I get a lot of hair smelling compliments when I spray this in my hair. I also love how easy and quick it is to use, I've always been fairly lazy when it comes to heat defence, but this has made it a two second job, and for that, me and my hair are grateful.
