November Beauty Favourites!

Hey beaut's!

I cant believe it's the last day of November today, I'm not happy that my favourite months of the year seem to be flying by... That being said Christmas is literally just around the corner now and I cant wait so it's swings and roundabouts really isn't it! Anywhoooo....it's favourites time again so I thought I'd share what makeup and beauty bits I've been loving throughout November!

I'm still totally obsessed with my Z Palette and use it all the time, every shade within it can be quickly whacked all over my lid and blended out within seconds, I'm particularly obsessed with the shade Grandstand by Makeup Geek (middle, far right), it's the most stunning rose gold/copper shade with a foil finish! On the rare days I don't reach for my Z Palette I've been using my Naked Heat Palette, it's crammed full of those warm tones which I love! For brows I've been using my Benefit Foolproof Brow Powder constantly, it's so easy to use because the pan is split into two shades, I always start off with the lighter shade at the beginning of my brows and then darken up the tail of my  brows with the darker shade, the formula is great too and I'd highly recommend it for beginners.

For lips I've either been going for a festive red or an easy to wear nude and my Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Pioneer and Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick have been perfect at creating the two, I'm quite worried at how low I'm getting on Pillow Talk now, I must order another soon! My skin has been getting soooooo dry recently and the only thing that has been helping me is the Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre, it's honestly the BEST moisturiser I've used when my skins super dry, it's been a life saver recently! Finally for nails I've been loving the Barry M Superdrug Limited Edition Nail Paint in Extravagant, it's a dark vampy red/plum which is crammed full of the most gorgeous sparkles, I'm in love!

What have you been loving this November beaut's?? I'd love to know!

Technic Get More Gorgeous Highlighting Gift Set

Hey beaut's!

If your an highlighting addict like myself or know somebody who loves walking around like a gorgeously glazed donut then I have just the Christmas gift or personal treat for you or them he he, that's right Technic Cosmetics have only gone and created a gift set containing not one but three stunning highlighters, oh my I'm in love!

The Technic Get More Gorgeous Gift Set* (£4.95) contains three of Technic's best selling highlighting shades and after giving them all a whirl over the last couple of weeks I can definitely see why, they are blindingggg! The first highlighter within the set I would say is the most versatile, it's an icy champagne colour that would suit most skin tones and what I absolutely love about it is that it's doesn't contain any obvious shimmer of glitter, it's just a pure metallic sheen, it's stunning! The second highlighter is a bronzing highlighter, this one does contain some minute shimmers but still has that gorgeous metallic sheen like the first highlighter, I think this one is perfect for medium to dark skin tones but used with a light hand I can just about get away with it, it also doubles up as a pretty epic eyeshadow too. The third and final highlighter within the gift set is a warm toned copper/rose gold shade, I've actually been loving this on my cheeks as a dewy blush and it works a treat! Again it does contain some minute shimmers but still has a gorgeous metallic sheen which I adore.

Each highlighter comes in a sturdy plastic compact with a wave-like raised design within the pan, they certainly look pretty cool. Formula wise.... I was blown away! Each highlighter is intensely pigmented so I would suggest using a light hand with these and the texture is as soft as silk which makes me think these powders are super finely milled, I also love how they aren't crammed full with glitter and shimmers like a lot of affordable highlighters are, these just create the most beautiful glow!

If your aim is to get your bestie, sister, aunt or mum glowing this Christmas like they've never glowed before then I cant recommend this set enough, the quality is seriously impressive and they set is just £4.95, can you believe it!

Crabtree & Evelyn Christmas Gift's Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

Christmas is getting so close now I can almost smell it he he and I've got some more Christmas gift ideas for you today from Crabtree & Evelyn. I love Crabtree & Evelyn because not only do they do lots of gorgeous beauty gifts in some incredible scents but they also have foodie bits and pieces and even some lovely candles and reed defusers so theres certainly something to suit most on their website which I love, you can't beat getting lots of presents sorted at once can you.

Even though I've tried quite a few products by Crabtree & Evelyn before I was yet to try one of their candles so I had no idea what to expect. I've been burning their Noël Candle* and wow...it's honestly incredible! Not only does the heavy gold glass jar look super luxurious but the scent is seriously festive, it contains notes of fir tree branches studded with tangy citrus zest and mulled spices, it's literally Christmas in a candle. The scent throw is seriously good too, just as good as a Yankee Candle if not better, and at £16.00 it isn't too expensive for a decent sized candle.

The Pomegranate & Argan Oil Shower Bauble* (£12.00) is such a lovely stocking stuffer, not only is the design of it being an actual bauble super cute but it smells incredibly good too with juicy sweet notes of pomegranate coupled with fresh fig leaves, mmm beaut! 


I've always been a HUGE fan of Crabtree & Evelyn's hand creams because they work wonders for me and really nourish my hands when their at their worst so I would highly recommend this Winter Hand Trilogy Cracker* (£12.00). The cracker includes three little 10ml hand creams perfect for popping into your handbag all in super seasonal scents, theres White Cardamon, my favourite Red Berry and Fir and Frosted Spicewood. I think this cracker would make a perfect gift or you could buy a few and put them on the Christmas table instead of the generic crackers.
