BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-TWO: NOVEMBER FAVOURITES!

Sunday, 22 December 2013
IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS! And as it's now December we thought it was only fair to share our November favourites! It's a bit late into this month but oh well!

BEAUTY:

Amy:

Clinique Foaming Cleanser. I love this, its so easy to use, and it gets rid of your make up really quick and easily! Also it's a lovely pearly colour as well!

I'VE FOUND A NEW HAND CREAM! So as some of you may know, I have a wee obsession with these products. It's really hard to find a good handcream, non greasy, quick absorbing, and that actually works, but I have! Drum roll please... MANDARA SPA! I have one by this brand and I love it, it fits all of the criteria and it also has a hint of an almondy scent! top marks!

Elemis Lip Repar. This is such a good product, it has a minty scent, and has these little micro particals, which kind of act as a scrub, love this!

Megan:

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

Okay, so I finally purchased this after hearing good things about it from so many people. Although the packaging isn't the best, the product inside is amazing! It does exactly what you need it to do - set your make-up, which it does really well! My make-up now stays out for the entire day and still looks good at the end of the day. It's doesn't dry out my skin or stick to any parts of my face, I can tell that I will be repurchasing this over and over again.

Neutregena facial wash/mask:

Oh. My. God. I don't have the best skin - I'm quite spotty and get dry skin quite a lot, however since using this 2-in-1 wash/mask, my skin has cleared up so much! I know only have two or three spots and my skin is so soft and smooth! I LOVE it! I use twice a day as a wash, once in the morning before I put on my make-up and then in the evening to take off my make-up (it works as a cleanser). I then use it as a mask at the weekends when I have time to relax or whenever I feel like my skin needs it.

MUSIC:

Amy:

It HAS to be Story Of My Life - One Direction, It's just an AMAZING song, and not just 'cause it's One Direction either! The video is really cute as well! what are your thoughts on it?

Megan:

I have been loving is Ed sheeran so much recently! I've always enjoyed his music but recently I downloaded his whole album and fell completely in love with him and his voice! The lyrics are so deep and meaningful, and he has such a calming voice! He's just purely amazing!


RANDOM:

Amy: REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS - OMG! I love these! they're soo good, I dont even know if I like peanut butter... But these... These are just, mmm.


Megan:

Company magazine:


The first thing I've been loving over the past month is company magazine - It's priced at £2.50 and it sometimes comes with free gifts such as nail varnish. It's always on trend and has some great material. The writers are funny, witty and intelligent and write about various subjects - good value for money!

Cardiff:

As you know, I recently went to Cardiff (photo diary up soon - I promise!) and it was absolutely amazing! I went there a few years ago but I didn't get a chance to visit the city centre. However, this time I spent a day and a half just wondering around the city centre - it's any shoppers dream! It doesn't get too busy, everything is close together, there are lots of cute cafés but most importantly, there are so many shops! House of Fraser, Topshop, Hollister, Superdry, H&M, New Look, Dorothy Perkins, John Lewis...the list is endless! I will definitely be going back soon!

Halls throat sweets:

Whilst I was in Cardiff, I developed a horrible cold and could hardly speak so I purchased some halls throat sweets - they literally saved my life! I was back to normal within two days. Although they don't have the best taste, they soothed my throat and cleared my head and nose!

Hope you enjoyed this post, what things did you enjoy in November?

Megan and Amy
