BLOGMAS DAY FOUR: NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

Throughout the month of November I haven't been loving an awful lot but here are some of the few things that I have been enjoying..

YSL Crème De Blush in Shade 1 - This is such a gores product and if I'm honest, blusher has always scared me in the past, especially cream ones! But it's so easy to apply and it's such a pretty colour, quit peachy with a hint of coral - not usually want I would go for in the Wintertime but I felt that my face needed that extra something as it was looking so dull. It stays on all days and has a lovely sheen to it - I may be tempted to try some more cream blushes..

Lancôme Colour Design Golden Frenzy Palette - Oh. My. God. This is such an amazing product and so suitable for this tie of this year - I really cannot express my love enough for tho palette! IT has five colours in; a matte brown, a dark glittery goldy/brown, a shimmery gold, a cream glitter shimmer and a dark grey, almost black shimmer. It's solo beautiful and I keep using this to create the perfect Christmassy look.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush - I've owned this for nearly a year now and have only just started to really use it, god knows why - it's fab! It gives an even coverage from light to medium (buildable) with a liquid foundation and is so easy to blend in with.

Garnier Miceller Water  - I purchased this a couple of weeks a go and I absolutely adore it! It takes my face and eye make-up off very easily and leaves my skin looking and feeling extremely nice. Such a bargain as well!

Fairy Lights - I just think that fairy lights are perfect for around this time of year and add a touch of christmassy excitement to everything! (is that even a thing??) They make everything so cosy and pretty - you really cannot go wrong, especially not with the warm white ones! Soooo festive!

Festive Bakewells - You can't get much more festive than with these. Just your average bake well tart here from Mr. Kipling but topped with different coloured balls in different festive shades. The normal Cherry Bakewells are amazing but festive ones? My new favourite treat by far.

America's Next Top Model, Cycle 21 - Okay, so it's no secret that I'm a tad obsessed with this program but especially this cycle! (and the last one, oops) It's so entertaining whilst incorporating the industry and everything else fashion/model related into it - could I ask for more?

Taylor Swift - I've fallen back in love with Taylor Swift.. I haven't binge listened to her music in a about year but in the past month she's pretty much all I've been listening to.. And she's brought out a new album which is amazingggg! I love her not only her and her voice but also her songs are so intricately written and perfected, so beautiful.

Turns I actually had a lot of favourites this month.. my bad. What things have you been loving this past month?

P.S wow.. we're already behind, typical us, sorry!

BLOGMAS DAY THREE: NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

It's day threeeeeeee! I can't even comprehend how happy that makes me! We haven't really done a Favourites Post for a month or two, and as we're in that Blog-ey/ Christmas-ey spirit we thought 'why the hell not?' I'm not actually too sure how many I have, I've planned a couple,  but I'm hoping they come to me whilst writing. Okay, So I'm gonna get on with it as I'm just rambling on at the moment, woops.

Beauty
Forever Living Bee Propolis Creme - This works like a miracle... No word of a lie. I had this weird red, itchy dry patch of skin on my right arm, and for years I didn't know what it was, I had tried everything: extensive moisture, any product I could find online, etc. My Mother has a business called 'Bee Forever You' in which she sells the Forever Living products (shout out to my Mum because why not). She had this product which has been known to dramatically help Eczema, Acne and with one of her other products even Psoriasis, so me willing to try anything gave it a go, within two weeks, if that, it had all gone. It is so fab, I did stop using it and notice it coming back, but with continued use, it worked, and really worked. If you want any more information on Bee Propolis Creme or any other Forever Living product, you can E-mail me, or go to https://www.facebook.com/beeforeveryou

Forever Living Aloe Lips - So as some of you may know, I'm a bit of a lip balm junkie (sorry not sorry), and Forever Living do a lip balm, and it is the nicest lip balm I have ever used, no word of a lie... It really nourishes your lips and stays balmy on them for a while... It comes in a stick so that's always a good thing. I love it so much that I have even gone and bought some off my Mum for my friends for Christmas... Also you can contact me or go to the link above for details and ways to buy etc.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation - Guess who got Acne? Me, lol. The name 'Vulgaris' really is quite fitting. Got a wee bit sidetracked there.. My bad. Anyway, the extra dash of coverage within this foundation really helps, being a full coverage foundation means that I can hide behind it and pretend I'm flawless (you should try it, it's great). This foundation really is fab, it does last ALL day, I haven't tried it for 25 hours, but I have but it on at 7am and taken it off at 2 and it still look good. With other foundations I've used in the past I've found they don't agree with my nose and they seem to depart, leaving me looking like Rudolph. With this one, though it's Christmas, this isn't the case, and I'm super happy I have this foundation in my life.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush - Since Christmas (last year) I was always using my Expert Face Brush I soon wanted a change and in the Summer I became the proud owner of the Stippling Brush up until last month I was always scared to use it as it is supposed to create a lighter coverage, I don't feel that was the case. I feel it leaves my face looking airbrushed and lovely, also the brush looks cool. I would highly recommend this brush it's just fab.

Johnsons Baby Shampoo - I always knew you should was your brushes regularly otherwise its vile and just no. Yet only like a month or two ago I started doing it as regularly as once every 1-2 weeks, what I use is simply just this and some warm water... It's so effortless to wash your brushes regularly and with this shampoo it doesn't have any harsh chemicals to harm your bristles. Also, if you're as clumsy as me, it's 'no tears', so even if you have a 'blonde moment' and slip getting it into your eye, it won't make you cry, it's the injuries that'll do that for you!

Food (yay)
Quorn Scotch Eggs - So as of the 24th of October I became a Pescitarian, I have had plenty of Quorn products in the past but these are by far my favourites (hence why they're here). For those of you who do not know what Scotch Eggs are, they're little balls off egg bits, covered in sausage meat (in this case Quorn and topped off with bread crumbs! They're super delicious and as I refer to them (only in my head, shush) 'Little Balls Of Happiness'.

Onion Bhajis - Everyone needs a little Bhaji in their lives, I mean, I may be spelling it wrong but lets hope not. I'm fussy when it comes to buffets. as I hate having food that other people may have touched, so I'm picky with them, and sandwiches are a no-go, but Bhajis, well they're always taken, because they're fab.

Music
Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down - Please don't ask me why, but this song always cheers me up, maybe it just reminds me of when I was younger at my Mum's, I do recall Oliver being an Arctic Monkeys fan? Maybe, I don't know. It came out 2006 so I would have been 7? Yeah, that makes sense!

So, they're November's favourites from the top of my head, what are yours?

BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-TWO: NOVEMBER FAVOURITES!

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
