November Favourites ♥


Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... November favourites time!!! I know I say this every month but my goodness November went quick, are you all really excited for Christmas yet??? I know I am ha ha. Anywhoo... I thought I would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout this past month... So here goes... 

Barry M Nail Paints in Raspberry and Majesty

Raspberry and Majesty have been my favourite nail polish duo at the moment, I literally cant get enough of them. Raspberry is my favourite Barry M nail paint of all time anyway but I really go mad on it in the Autumn/Winter and as Christmas is getting closer I've decided to add some sparkle with Majesty, as we all know I love me some sparkle!!! Ive simply been painting each nail with raspberry apart from my ring finger which I like to do with Majesty and voila!!! 

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me

As the weather has now gotten alot colder my lips have certainly been getting dryer and needing an extra moisturising boost, and I have to say my Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry me has been my saviour, it moisturises, conditions, smells amazing and once on the lips it gives you a lovely raspberry red tint. You can check out my full review on the Baby Lips collection here.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 100 Ivory

I have been addicted to using Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation recently, its just perfect for this time of year!!! The foundation is a light perfecting radiance foundation meaning it will give the appearance of more healthy, glowing looking skin which is exactly what I need when its dreary and dull outside. The foundation provides a medium but buildable coverage and blends onto my skin really well, its literally perfection in a bottle to me.

St Grape Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub

Oh how I love my St Grape Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub, so much so that I only have about 2 uses left in my pot. When you pop the scrub into your hand it feels slightly like wet sand in texture and is very gentle and not too abrasive yet it still feels like your giving your skin a good exfoliate, afterwards your skin is left feeling super soft and polished. The smell of the scrub, well..... Its gorgeous, it has quite a strong soapy scent that lingers on your skin for ages afterwards. Its great if your using the scrub in the bath too as when you rinse you skin free from the scrub it leaves your bath water slightly bubbly and the scrubs scent stays in your bath water, its honestly like heaven. I currently have a giveaway where 5 of my lucky follower can win a pot of then scrub, you can enter here.

L'Oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray

As you may or may not know I've been loving wearing my hair curly/wavy recently and the L'Oreal Studio Matt & Mess spray has been an amazing at helping me to create great 2nd and 3rd day curls. All I do is spray the matte and messy spray through my hair on the 2nd or 3rd day and after a scrunch here and a scrunch there my hair is all wavy again as if I have just waved my hair with a waving tool when I haven't, it's amazing and so so easy.

What's been your favourite beauty products this month??? I'd love to know!!!

Autumn/Winter Beauty Essentials | Part 1

Hey girlie's!!!

Being the Autumn/Winter lover i am i couldn't resist doing a post dedicated to some of the products that are going to be well loved by me this season. I'm going to do this post in two parts so look out for more beauty essentials coming soon. I hope you enjoy.....

Lips

Its essential to look after your lips over the colder month's as they are more prone to getting dry, flaky and chapped. Its always good to use a good lip scrub often as this will not only put some well needed moister back into your lips but it will remove any dry flaky patches and prepare a nice base for your chosen lippy, don't worry if you don't have a scrub, you can always just cover your lips in lip balm, take on an old toothbrush and gently buff over your lips, it will give you identical results as the scrub would and saves yourself buying one.

Lip balms are my best friend over Autumn/Winter, i tend to lean towards them alot more than wearing lipstick as they just feel alot more moisturising and comfortable. My favourites for this year are 'Cherry Carmex', this does an amazing job at preventing chaps and keeping my lips flake free also i love 'Maybelline's Baby Lips in Cherry Me' this not only moisturises but leaves you with a nice glossy tint to the lips too. Even though like i said I'm not huge lipstick wearer during Autumn/Winter i still do need the go to shade that i can use when i want a pop of colour, I've chosen 'MUA Shade 1', its a gorgeous berry shade that's perfect for evenings out or to wear during the day if your makeups quite natural looking.

Nails 

Barry M Nail Paint in '273 Raspberry' is one of my all time favourite nail polish shades, its just so gorgeous. Its a plain berry red shade perfect for Autumn and great over the festive season with a nice glitzy top coat. I'm also quite partial to Barry M's Mushroom shade, its a nice neutral brown/taupe that seems to go with everything through Autumn time!!!

Hair & Body

Its strange to think that the cold weather can damage your hair, but the truth be known it can, the cold air dehydrates your hair which can leave it brittle, frizzy and unmanageable so its best to give your hair a little treat every now and then. I was recently introduced to Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil, its a multi purpose oil but my favourite way to use it is on my locks, i simply put around 2 pumps worth in my hands, run it through the mid lengths of my hair, leave it for around 10 minutes and then shampoo out with my normal shampoo, it couldn't be easier and afterwards your left with soft healthier looking hair.


The colder climate can also take its tole on our skin, i always notice my skin gets quite dry and rough when its cold so a nice thick creamy moisturiser is essential!!! My favourite is 'Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter', its so thick like a body butter yet creamy and just melts into your skin, it also smells amazing and you'll notice an improvement almost instantly.

So that's part one of my Autumn/Winter Beauty Essentials, pert two will be up soon.

What are your Autumn/Winter beauty essentials??? Id love to know!!!
