January Favourites
January 31, 2013
So it's come to the end of the month so it's time for my monthly favourites, yay! Where has January gone, seriously it only feels like yesterday that it was Christmas/New Year, before we know it it'll be easter!
I've been loving so many different products this month, far too many for this post but I have managed to narrow it down to these seven products which I am sure will be products that I will continue to use and will be amongst my favourite products over the next coming months. So thats crack on, shall we!?
Make-up/Nails:
Rimmel London Lipstick (180, Vintage Pink) - I have had this lipstick for a good few months now, but only ever really wore it when I went out in the evenings/nights or for special occasions but I have recently been wearing lipstick as part of my day look and this is one of my favourite lipstick shades to wear as it's not too bright and it really suits my skin tone. I also really like the shade as pinks do not tend to suit me, but this deeper pinky tone is fab!
Rimmel London 'Wake Me Up' Concealer - For you guys that read my blog on a weekly basis then you will know how much I love this concealer from my recent review. I have been using it pretty much every day as my daily face routine as it works wonders for hiding the bags under my eyes and makes my eyes look a lot more awake. As I have said before I would highly recommend this concealer to all of you.
Collection 2000 Skyscraper Mascara - I picked this mascara up just after Christmas as so many bloggers rave how this mascara is one that they always repurchase. As I tend to not stick to the same mascara I thought I would give this a try and I can honestly say I totally see why bloggers love this mascara. It is amazing for lengthening lashes without making them go clumpy and gives great coverage over the lashes. I will be repurchasing this when it runs out!
Topshop Nail Varnish (Easy Breezy) - I bought this nail varnish a few months ago and has been one of my firm favourites for a while and still is. I love the Topshop nails range as they are so affordable and go on so easily with only a couple of coats. I also love this shade, its perfect for the winter months as well as the summer months and I always wear it!
Body & Hair:
Lush 'Snow Fairy' Showergel - For all of you out there who buy products from Lush then I am sure you have heard or tried out this shower gel. I picked this up in the Boxing day sales for £5, half price and I have not regretted it since! I love everything about this product, the packaging is so pretty and girly and the scent reminds me of pear drops and sweets. I use this pretty much every time I have a shower and use it as bubble bath when I have bath which surprisingly creates a reasonable amount of bubbles. Hopefully they bring this back out next Christmas, or as a permanent product!
Milk_Shake Whipped Cream Hair Mousse - I received this hair mousse in my December Glossybox and they couldn't have got it more right! This mousse is amazing and I have never come across a product like it. I apply this to my hair whilst it is still damp and it softens my hair so much leaving it feeling so soft and smooth. It also smells like milkshake, leaving my hair smelling so nice! I will for sure be buying the full size version when my sample runs out.
Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - As plenty of you know I love this body scrub as I have just repurchased this due to my current one running low. I love Soap & Glory's 'Sugar Crush' range mainly because of the crushed sugar and lime scent, but I particularly like the body scrub as it leaves my skin feeling so soft and leaves my skin with a small hint of the sugar crush scent to it. If you have not tried out this product then I suggest you do, especially as Boots currently have a 3for2 offer on Soap & Glory.
Have you tried out any of these products?

TheI enjoyed using the Rimmel: Wake Me Up range! I tried their foundation originally, which was nice for day makeup. The concealer is also a good product to use, for days when you're not doing anything majorly special but still want to look nice. The TopShop Nail Polish looks very similar to the Essie - Mint Candy Apple! I've literally just opened another bottle of Snow Fairy, thank god for Christmas sales! :D Soap & Glory is an old reliable for me, I've used their 'Clean On Me' for almost 5-6 years on and off, when they released the Sugar Crush range I was instantly hooked, the smell is so unique but so amazing. Unfortunately I can't find the scrub anywhere, so I've only tired the body butter/lotion and the body wash. But they are incredible! Running very low on the body wash, I'll definitely be replacing it soon.
ReplyDeleteOh thats a shame, i'm pretty sure you can pick up the body scrub on boots online.. xx
DeleteThe Rimmel lipstick and Collection mascara are two of my faves. Love the shade of nail polish, may have to check it out :p
