January favourites

I decided at the beginning of the year to make time to blog more and to try and get a monthly favourites done every month of this year and now here suddenly is the end of January! (so scary I really hope this year doesn't fly by like the last) so here are my January favourites.

My first favourite lip products this month is the Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in the shade 520 violet pop I have been loving this lipstick as it doesn't dry out my lips and the colour is gorgeous dark purple red colour which is a perfect winter colour.

                                       

The next lip product is the Urban Decay lip junkie lip gloss its a small sample that came with my Naked palette 2, I am in love with this lip gloss as it cools and plumps so it really makes my lips look fuller which is the main thing I love as I have really thin lips! The colour is really natural bronze shimmer so its perfect to wear over other colour lipsticks too. As soon as I've used the sample up this will be a definite future purchase and a definite must have for me.

                                      


Urban Decay Naked flushed palette, I got this in December and have been using it every day since I'm addicted! The blush is gorgeous as its a shimmery red colour which looks so nice on my skin tone. I also love that its so easy to travel with as It fits in my bag and I don't have to take two or three different pots around with me.

 

 

Real techniques Expert face brush is my favourite brush I have been using this month I had wanted this for so long and finally I got it for Christmas, like all the real techniques brushes it is super soft and feels amazing on my skin! I use it for my foundation as it gives me a flawless finish and is perfect to buff the foundation in for a natural look.

 

 

Trevor Sorbie beautiful blonde ice cool platinum UV shine protector spray is what I have been using on my hair a lot this month, even though I mainly bought this to use in the summer to protect my hair from the UV rays as my hair is very damaged from bleaching and curling. I've been using it more now though as it gives my hair a really natural healthy shine as like I said with my hair being damage its very dry and dull so it helps it look a lot healthier and it also smells lovely too!

Last in my favourites is the Right Guard Xtreme dry deodorant I had been using sure for the last 6 years and I found that it just wasn't working for me anymore, so I decided to try something new and this was my choice... and it was a good one it is fantastic for me it keeps me dry all day and I'm not feeling like I need to re spray it every two minutes like I did with the sure because it has 72 hour protection. The only thing I don't like is that it does leave white marks but I think you can buy one that doesn't so I'm going to try and get that one next but aside from that its my new favourite deodorant!

may favourites

Hi!

Here are my may favourites, I have so many at the moment but I had to really whittle it down to my absolute best favourites or we would be here all day! I will also link at the bottom where you can get the products.

so here we go...


my first favourite is the Rimmel match perfection face powder in the shade 001 translucent. I love this as it's really light but the coverage is brilliant. I have an oily T zone and that is mostly where I use it an it works wonders for me I don't like to use a face powder all over my face as I like my skin to look dewy and fresh but for my oily areas and to touch up though out the day its perfect.
 
                                                                      £6.99/10g

 

My next favourite is the L'Occitane crème radieuse hydration cream, this is a cream I am in love with. I got this sample pot in my may glossy box and I will definitely be buying the full size one when I run out of this one.
You apply to your face and neck morning and night and it claims to plump, smooth and make the skin look radiant, and it does exactly that as well as making my skin tone look even. it is a bit pricey but I would say it is 100% worth it.

                                                           £30.00/50ml (full size)

                                     

My favourite brush of may is the real techniques stippling brush, I've wanted one of these for so long as I love how soft the real techniques brushes are. I was a bit hesitant as first to use it with my foundation because I apply it with my fingers usually as I never get a good enough result with a brush so I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was but I was so impressed the first time I used it. The results were an airbrushed flawless finish and I even found that used less foundation as this buffed it into my skin as to usually just smearing it around with my hand.

 

£10.99

Next is the Barry M Gelly nail polish in the colour prickly pear 316. its a really shinny pastel lilac colour, its a perfect fresh colour which I have been wearing all spring. I will definitely be buying more colours in the Gelly range as it still looks fresh and shinny after 3 days wear, which is perfect for me as I don't get time repaint my nails every other day. so this has a big thumbs up from me!

                                                                
                                                                      £3.99/10ml

                                     

the mascara that I have been using non stop over may is the by jelly pong pong fairy lashes one, and again this one i got in my glossy box and it's actually full size so I was super impressed with that and will 100% be purchasing this! it is a water proof mascara which I'm yet to test out if it actually is but I will do that and let you know how water proof it is but aside from that its light and doesn't clump and my lashes still feel soft and not hard and crispy when its on. I also don't wear false lashes when I use this mascara as it makes my lashes looks so long on its own. I really am so happy with this product and think its the best mascara I've tried so far.

 

                                                                      £15.00/8ml

Another favourite is this lipstick from the Body shop, its the colour glide lip colour in the shade neon pink 59. I am totally in love with this lipstick its so moist on your lips even though the colour dries on you lips it doesn't make you lips feel dry. the best thing I love is that if you just lightly apply one coat to your lips it's just a light pink glossy look or you can apply about the three coats and its a matte bold colour. 

 

 

                                                                   
                                                                        £10.00/4g

And last but not least my obsession of the month the eos organic lip balm in honeysuckle honeydew, I love, love, love it! it tastes amazing my lips feel so soft and moisturised and I literally take it with me very where. This is a definite must have and I can never imagine not having this to go to when my lips are dry or chapped now. if you haven't tried it you must and a bonus is it comes in so many different flavours so there definitely one to suit everyone.

 

I'm also very excited to try more eos products!

 

£5.99/7g
