It's been a while since we've done one of these posts, December I do believe. We're just going to share some of our favourites from the past months, not in any particular categories, just anything we've been loving recently! Comment what you've been loving this month below!
AMY:
Simple Triple Action Face Wash - I cannot explain how much I've been loving this product! It has helped clear up my skin an awful lot. This is face wash (obviously) with little micro particles that act as an exfoliant, but it's not too harsh as the micro particles are fairly sparse. I use this in the shower usually and find that for best results you should use a flannel or something to open your spots first, when I've done this I genuinely got amazing results by the next day. I'm not saying it clears up everything, but it certainly tackles your ripe ones! Definitely go out and buy it!
TRESemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo - I've always loved
TRESemme and when I lived at my Mum's we always had it, the smell always makes me happy and reminds me of my childhood. I bought this one on a bit of a whim, I was in
ASDA and was after the
Platinum Strength one as my hair was in such bad condition and my Mother recommended that one to me, but next to it was the
Keratin Smooth and was half price at just (insert pound sign)2.50 so I decided to give this one a go as it's claims seemed promising. At the moment my hair is a nightmare and it frizzy and horrible, and since I've been using this product it's not even close to being as bad as it was. I'm also going to give the conditioner a whirl when mine runs out! Well done
TRESemme!
Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer - I teamed this with my
Keratin Smooth and oh my, they got on like a house on fire. My hair had never felt or looked good before. It's for dry/ frizzy hair, my hair isn't dry, but it's most certainly frizzy. As I don't use this on my roots I figured that a kit of moisture wouldn't hurt (and it didn't). Honestly, I can't rave about these two products enough, they've done wonders for my hair! It's still not in the best condition, but it's a hell of a lot better! It was cheap too! just (insert pound sign)2! Thank you
Garnier!
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - Oh my goshhhh, I know I'm late to this bandwagon, but I can certainly see why everyone was loving this. The coverage is fab, the scent is fab, the price is fab, it's just fab okay. If you're looking for a drugstore foundation with good coverage, zero SPF, a lovely scent that's easy to apply, the look no further, this is what you're looking for. It's only like (insert pounds sign)10 and is so worth it.
Rimmel Wonder'full Mascara - This mascara is great, it is enriched with argon oil so it cares for your lashes whilst making them look fab. It has an 'Ultra Flex Brush' and gets zero clumps. I don't wish to say too much on this as I may do a review on it if i get the chance, but I like it, go buy it if you're looking for a mascara with all of what I've mentioned!
Hospital For Souls by
Bring Me The Horizon - Oh my goodness, I absolutely love this song, no matter what mood I'm in this song will always improve it. I lost my earphones for a long time, and when I got them back, I was walking home and this song blasted through them. I don't even thing I've ever been more content with life at that moment. If you haven't heard it, then go and listen, you surely won't regret it.
Maple and Pecan Plait - You can buy these from
LIDL for like 50p and they are the most amazing things ever, honestly, I can't explain how fab they are. Pop over to your nearest
LIDL and get one, I mean not if you have a nut allergy or something, but other than that, you have to try them.
MEGAN:
Black Structured Bag from
H&M - I managed to persuade my dad that a new big bag was a necessity for school and carrying revision guides etc. around, (it kind of was to be fair..). My old bag was from
Urban Outfitters, it wasn't small but it wasn't particularly big either and I couldn't fit my lunch, water, hairbrush, charger, school planner
and school books in there so I was having to carry my school books around in my hands, meaning I forgot them a lot and left them places, (I've managed to lose my English book twice this year already and we've only been back a month.. oops). Anyway I was in
H&M and I saw this beautiful black bag with a fake crocodile design on it, and the best thing about it? It's basically a mini suitcase! I'm pretty sure it's bigger than me? Oh well haha, I love it anyway and it was only thirty-five pounds!
Green Tartan Scarf from
River Island - I bought this scarf last December, just after Christmas but I haven't worn it since April I think? As soon as I could see my breath in the mornings whilst walking to school I decided that it was time for wrap up! Maybe it's slightly premature but, to be fair, I was getting cold at the end of August.. The scarf was only twelve pounds (from the men's section but ssh) and it's 100% acrylic and soooo cosy and soft! An Autumn/Winter must-have!
Estee Lauder Eyeshadow in the shade
63, Tempting Mocha (Shimmer) - I am really enjoying using this eyeshadow as a base underneath darker colours at the moment. I find that it coincides with a very autumnal look that I'm going for at the moment! It's so pretty and gives the most gorgeous but subtle shimmer and is really easy to blend.
Lancome Lipgloss in the shade 316 - I think that this was a limited edition product and that it's now been discontinued which is extremely sad as I've nearly finished mine, sigh. The colour I have is a deep purple with a hint of red and I looove it, especially for this time of year. It's very glossy, (hence it being a lipgloss..) and lasts for a good few hours on my lips, even withstanding me drinking and eating, which is great!
B1 Micellar Water - I've wanted to try out a micellar water for so long so when I was in Exeter a few weeks ago I decided to try one and it was a very good decision! I've never tried anything from the
B range before but I may be tempted to branch out to more go their products! You don't need a lot of product, simply disperse some onto a cotton pad and wipe away any make-up, whether it be foundation, mascara or lipstick, it removes it without causing any irritation or redness on my skin. I use it both morning and night to cleanse my skin and remove make-up and I find that it leaves my skin looking and feeling fresh and rejuvenated and it has helped to clear up my skin, bonus!
Sweater Weather by
The Neighbourhood - I cannot describe my love for this song, oh my god.. I can't actually remember how I came across it, all I know is that as soon as I first heard it I immediately fell in love and downloaded it! It's such a good song and I feel that it's also very apt for the current season, haha.
Ace Multivitamin Juice - When I was younger we used to do our weekly shop at
Lidl and I used to drink this stuff non-stop but then, for some reason, my mum decided to shop at
Sainsbury's instead, meaning for about five years I went without it, which is really sad but also kind of good as a few weeks ago we went in there to get some stuff from the bakery and I re-discovered it and I am so happy that I have, it's honestly one of the nicest drinks I've ever had and It's so refreshing as well, mmm.
So that's it for our monthly favourites, what things have you enjoyed throughout September? Tell us in the comments!
