February Favourites

Hi everyone,

 

Time for February favourites!

 

Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean Cleanser

I love this stuff! I've been using it since I got it for Christmas, it leaves my skin feeling really smooth and clean. It's a really active product but it doesn't irritate my skin.

 

Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant

I bought this a few weeks ago on a whim, it was half price and seeing as I'm a fan on Nivea deodorants I thought I'd give it a go. I'm not sure how it works, but it really does, I barely seem to sweat when I wear it!

 

DermaV10 Cocoa Body Butter

This product is an absoloute bargain, I picked it up in Home Bargains for only 89p! It's a thick butter that sinks in pretty quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturised. The best bit about this product though is definitely the smell! It's a sweet, cocoa scent and I've had loads of compliments on the smell from people at work who said I smell like coconut and chocolate! That works for me!

 

Soap and Glory Perfume

This has been my everyday perfume for this month, it smells like Soap and Glory's signature scent, which is a perfect, light daytime scent.

 

L'oreal Lumi Magique in Shade 1

My favourite product for helping to conceal and brighten under my eyes, I've tried the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch that loads of people rave about but I much prefer this product. Let me know if you'd like to see a review/comparison. :)

L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Diamantissime Mascara
I got this as a gift with purchase back in December and didn't love it when I started using it, but this month I started using it again and I've made it work for me. I've been using it as a seperating and lengthening mascara after applying a volumising mascara and it's been working really well.

17 Va Va Voom Mascara
 This mascara has a massive brush and is great for building volume even with my lashes
which are tiny and skinny. I've been loving using this in conjunction with the L'oreal mascara for volumised, long and seperated lashes this month.

Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose
I've been quite into using tinted lip balms this month instead of lipsticks and this one has to be my favourite. It melts into my lips so quickly and leaves a pretty hint of colour and healthy sheen. I really want to buy the Korres lip butter in the shade Plum now too!

GOSH Soft'N Shine Lip Balm in Scarlet
This is a product that lives in my handbag and I use all the time but I've never included it in a monthly favourites post even though it is definitely a favourite! It's a lovely moisturising lipstick/balm that's a muted soft, rosey pink colour that is fairly sheer when applied. It smells like vanilla and is so easy to apply on the go without a mirror. :)

My Top 5...Lipbalms

Hi everyone,

 

If you've be following me for a while you might have realised that I love lipbalms! I apply them mulitple times a day and I love the assortment of flavours, colours and formulas they come in, I can't stop buying them! :)

 

If you'd like to see my lipbalm collection post then click here. I might do an updated post soon as I've had a bit of a clear out. But anyway, here are my top 5 lipbalms...

 

 

 

Nivea Lip Butter in Caramel Cream
 Smells and tastes amazing! A bit like toffee popcorn, very creamy and moisturising. Very cute, lightweight, little tin too. :)

Burt's Bees Mango Lip Balm
A nourishing lip balm with a subtle, natural fruity scent. I love this as my night time lip balm and for using on the go, it's even survived a trip through the washing machine and is still working perfectly!

GOSH Soft'n Shine Lip Balm in Scarlet
A beautiful, glossy balm that could almost be classed as a liptick. Smells and tastes like vanilla/cake and is a pretty muted pink colour, a perfect colour to apply on the go.

Balance Me Rose Otto Intensive Lip Salve
A great freebie from Glamour magazine last year, I wasn't keen on the slightly overpowering turkish delight scent of this when I first bought it but it has grown on me. I use this first thing in the morning before putting my make up on so that my lips are softened and moisturised before applying lipstick. This lip balm really feels like it's doing your lips some good.

Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose
I wasn't keen on the scent of this product when I got it either but it's very moisturising and gives the lips a subtle red tint. Lovely for days when you don't want to wear lipstick.

What's your favourite lip balm?

Mini Lip Product Haul

Hi everyone,

I went to see my grandparents in Abergavenny last weekend and bought a few nice things from Waitrose.

Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose - £7

I've been wanting to try a Korres lip butter for ages but had only seen them online, so when I saw them in Waitrose I was so excited! I picked up the Wild Rose version as it looked like it would provide a really nice colour on the lips. I tried this out a couple of times and it is very moisturising and gives a lovely tint.

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia - £5.99

I've never tried anything from Burt's Bees before and I'd heard their lip balms are great so I picked up a tinted one. This balm is nourishing and gives a sheer wash of colour, perfect for having in your handbag for during the daytime.

Burt's Bees Nourishing Lip Balm - Mango

This has a slight mango scent, mixed with a kind of natural smell(hard to describe!). It's very moisturising and feels like it's doing your lips some good! I think this is going to become my go to night time lip balm.
