Novermber Favorites

It's December and it's been too long since I did a favourites post... So lets get straight in, no kissing!! 

Dream Dots*. 

I used half a dozen of these in a week and I'm literally obsessed with them. There are not enough good words in the world to describe how well these dots work. They're not just a dream, they're a miracle!! Read my full review HERE. 

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

I shopped my stash this month in a bid to use up some products and make space for the impending Christmas spending spree, and in doing so I found my summer love, Nearly Naked. It's been great because when I'm not tanning, I like a light coverage foundation that just works in a colour correcting capacity, especially after I've eradicated my spots. There's no point in covering up good skin. 

Impress Press On Nails

I'm obsessed with Impress nails. They actually look good, unlike most of those glue-on jobs. I rocked glossy black ones in the week leading up to -and including- Chris's graduation and they looked wonderful. They don't damage your nails, they've flex and shock absorbing properties and they stopped me biting my real nails when I was stressed... I couldn't have asked for better this month! 

Nivea 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner

This stuff actually gives me life! I can't even begin to describe how good it has been for my skin. The fact that it's a 2 in 1 product was throwing me but it's great. Between this and the Dots, I've not had such well behaved skin!! Read my full review HERE

Johnsons Baby Shampoo 

I bought a bottle of baby shampoo last summer to clean my make-up brushes with, and I've still a quarter of the bottle left. If you want to deep clean your brushes, leave them soft and smelling lovely and you don't fancy springing for the No.7 Brush cleanser or the Blender Cleanser, then this is a great option. For a deep clean on eye and powder brushes once a week and every two days on your foundation, baby shampoo is a cost effective and all round great option. 

Love/Hate

My always lovely friend Kayliegh lent me the first 3 seasons of Love Hate on a shopping trip for her birthday and I'm hooked. I powered through 3 seasons in a week. All because I watched the season five finale. I need to know what's going on!!! Between Darren, Nidge, Fran and Siobhan, I'm up to 90. You'd swear I was in the middle of it! 

I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

The last time I watched I'm A Celeb, was the year Kerry Katona won it. That's a long time. Of course I kept vaguely in touch with the contestants and the drama over the years but this is the first year in a long time I'm watching it pro-actively. I love the line up, they're only mildly famous but the entertainment is maximum levels! Bush-Tucker Trials are so funny to watch, and part of me would love to experience it. Am I mad?? 

What have you been loving during the month of November??

November Favorites - Beauty Edition

Hidihi, Campers!!

This months favorites is going to take the form of a blog-post, because at the moment, I'm buried under a steadily growing mountain of college work, and I haven't got time to film, never mind edit a video and upload it. I am, however, sitting at the computer and that means that taking a break from assignments mean I can tap out a blog post in double quick time, and in my pajamas to boot!

First on the line up, I have my EOS Lipbalm in Tropical Fruits. This was sent to me when I did a make-up swap with my lovely friend Kayleigh, from all the way over in Florida. During the month of October, I haven't left my house without this little ball of magic! It smells divine and it makes my lips feel so smooth, especially after using my Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub.

Next up, another American gift (does it still count as a gift if you asked for it?) from Kayleigh. The Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in the shade 801 Ivory. This is the lightest shade, as far as I am aware. This foundation is everything I look for in a foundation. It's great coverage, pretty spot on with my skin tone, and light as a feather. It's got some shine control but I like to be sure of that ability by using my next make-up favorite.

Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Pro Primer. This stuff lay unloved for the longest time in a drawer, because it made my skin feel strange, but I tried it again a few months back, and I haven't regretted it for one moment since. Used alongside my Covergirl foundation, my foundation doesn't crease, slip or wear away in trouble spots. A+

My Maybelline Brow Drama in Medium is my new favorite thing. For a few uses I took um-bridge with the feeling of my brows setting, but now I love it, because it sets my brows tidily but still allows me to raise an eyebrow at people who annoy me!! :D

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan. This may be my last favorite of the month, but it's definitely not least. I had some trouble with this at first, as my skin didn't seem to react to the DHA after an hour (I was timid). The Cocoa Brown team on Twitter were quick to lend a hand and we figured out that I needed one layer left on for the full time of 3 hours to get a noticeable golden glow. If you are pale like myself, don't worry about leaving it on for the 3 hours maximum time, you wont come out Tangoed, I promise you. I am as pale as the driven snow, and yet, after using Cocoa Brown Tan, I had a natural golden glow.

Those are my beauty favorites for the month of October. What do you think? Is there anything I should try in the month of November?? Let me know! 

Keep an eye out for my Random Favorites!! 

March Favorites

Now that the month of April is upon us, I think it's time to have a go at a monthly favourites type post!

I'm going to review products that I've loved consistently over the month of March and maybe, if I do okay at it, I'll make it a recurrence.

 Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tanning Lotion.

Garnier Summer Body

This lotion is AMAZING! The consistency is not greasy, nor is it sticky. It leaves your skin like velvet and after about 3 days I noticed a distinct difference. The tan is not orange at all, no trace of the "Oompa Loompa" even on my glow in the dark skin!
