June favourites

I needed a new cleanser around the start of June and decided to pick up the Antipodes hallelujah lime and patchouli cleanser, it has a cream formula that's really delicate on the skin, it leaves my skin feeling super smooth and moisturised but what I love the most is that it's amazing at taking off makeup even mascara and eyeliners, it's a beautiful cleanser. June was a skincare month for me as I decided to take more interest in what I was using on my face, I had extremely dry eyes and heard rave reviews about how moisturising the Origins eye doctor eye cream (review) and it certainly lives up to the reviews, it's the best eye cream I have ever used and it's such a pleasant product to use as it instantly relieves the under eye area of any tightness. My parents got me the body shop's instablur makeup primer for my birthday and it has become a staple in my makeup bag for the past couple of months, it keeps my face from getting oily and blurs out any imperfections without feeling heavy on the skin. Another birthday present from my brother and his fiancé was Benefit's world famous neutrals palette in most glamorous nudes ever (review) and I haven't touched another palette since using this, the shades are right up my street and I can't get enough of it!

February favourites | Beauty

So february is done and dusted and we're now in march, where has the time gone? February was quite a good month for me with Aarons birthday, valentines day and other exciting stuff but I didn't really travel too far out of my comfort zone when it comes to makeup, I have just stuck to the same old stuff. Although, saying that I did dip my toes into the BB Cream waters and tried and loved the Dr.Jart+ Regenerating beauty balm which I have a review of here if you want to read into my thoughts on it a little bit more, but to sum it up it's a beautiful light weight beauty balm with excellent coverage. to apply the Dr.Jart beauty balm I dug out an old favourite of mine which is the real techniques buffing brush, I forgot how good this brush it and it's been applying my BB cream like a dream ha that rhymes. throughout February I have been trying to look all glowy and 'oh look it's spring and i'm fresh as a daisy' kind of look, so at the end of january I bought the mac mineralise skin finish in soft and general and I haven't touched another highlighter all month as it's just so beautiful! I run out of my trusty macadamia oil at the beginning of the month and decided to go back to another oil I had in my stash which was the tresemmé liquid gold restorative complex, this oil is extremely light weight and doesn't weight my hair down and the oil doesn't transfer onto my fingers when I run then through my hair a few hours later... Ick! Taylor swift wonderstuck has to be my most worn perfume of the month it's such a beautiful sweet scent which isn't too sickly and I don't know why I held off buying it, thank you to Aaron's mumma for buying me this for christmas, it's so lovely!

November favourites

So december is finally here and the countdown to christmas begins! I haven't even got an advent calendar this year which makes me a little bit sad... but anyway onto the favourites!

First up, i've been loving baths this month i've been having mini pamper evenings with bubble baths and face masks, all that jazz around four times a week at the moment, mainly because i've been feeling down and there's nothing like a good bath to make you feel better! that's where 'The comforter' from lush comes in, this little swirly bar of goodness smells like Ribena and makes your bath pink and bubbly, seriously would could be better than that? along with the whole bath theme I brought the Imperial leather sweet vanilla & Cherry blossom foamburst body wash earlier in the month and I think it's so dang cool, it's foams up like shaving foam but when you rub it onto your body is lathers up really nicely and it smells gorgeous, even Aaron's been enjoying using it this month! The cold weather has also really dried out my skin and i've been using the body shop's raspberry body butter in the evenings, it's thick and sweet smelling and leaves your skin feeling so smooth.

Trying to make my face look a little less dull this month has been a challenge, I started using the seventeen skin wow highlighter under my foundation and it just gives me that ooomph and glow I need in the colder months, it isn't greasy and makes my foundation glide on smoothly and can be used in a few different ways, I'll have a full review coming up of this soon, but for now i'll say it's an all around good product in my eyes. Instead of repurchasing my Benefit they're real! I thought I'd pick up the Maybelline falsies mascara again and i've really been enjoying it, it gives me long, voluminous lashes and it stays on all day. I thought i'd try something different on the brow front and brought the Anastasia brow wiz which really is as good as people say, the spoolie on one end is really good and not scratchy and the actual product has such a fine nib that you can create the appearance of hairs, it isn't too waxy but just looks so natural.
Last but not least a product i've raved about all month is the L'oreal volume supersizing spray, I adore this product for giving me texture and volume in my limp hair, I've used it nearly everyday and it's no where near being finished!

so those were my november favourites, what were yours?
