May Favourites

Hello! I hope you have all had a lovely May! Today's post is going to be my May favourites. I didn't actually write an April favourites because I hadn't tried many new products and there was nothing that I was particularly loving, however there are quite a few products this month!

Starting with skincare, I have been loving my Elemental Herbology Eye Elixir lately! I was on the hunt for a good eye cream for ages. I obviously don't need an anti ageing one so I just wanted a nice hydrating, everyday eye cream and this one is perfect! It's very light and leaves my eyes feeling and looking refreshed and awake.

I bought the Palmers dark chocolate and peppermint lip balm a while ago and I LOVE it! It smells amazing and I just want to eat it! Haha :) It hydrates my lips so well leaving them soft and very glossy.

My hair has been pretty dry recently so I have been looking for some new haircare products to use. I bought the Tresemme Platinum Strength Deep Conditioning Treatment and have been using it every time I wash my hair as a conditioner! My hair is so smooth, soft and manageable since I have been using this. I don't think I have ever had hair this soft from a high street product before which is amazing! I am definitely very tempted to try the shampoo as well so please let me know if you have tried it!

I have rediscovered my YSL Touche Eclat foundation recently and have been loving it! I apply it with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush which I think are the perfect pair. I have the shade BR10 which is the perfect shade for me so I love applying it as I don't have to worry as much about blending! This provides my skin with light but buildable coverage and I just love using it.

My last favourite this month is my Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray. I reviewed this a while ago and said I was slightly on the fence. It sets my makeup amazingly well but doesn't control the oil, so I wasn't sure if I would repurchase it! I did though and I have just ordered my third bottle this morning! Without this, my makeup literally just comes off my face throughout the day! I absolutely love this stuff and would highly highly recommend it!

I hope you have enjoyed this post! I would love to know in the comments your favourites from this month!

November Favourites

Hi girls! I am so excited now it's December as I absolutely love Christmas! It's now time for my November favourites and I've been loving quite a lot of products this month.





Marc Jacobs Dot Perfume

My first favourite is the Marc Jacobs Dot perfume. I have run out of quite a lot of my perfumes lately so have been using this and loving it! It smells amazing and I have actually just taken photos for my Perfume Collection post coming up where I will attempt to describe the scent!

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

I have a full review of this cleanser here. I repurchased this around the beginning of the month and have been using it every morning and evening since. I absolutely love it and it leaves my skin feeling so clean, fresh and soft.

La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo

I mentioned this in my Shopping Haul and I have been using this every morning and evening since I bought it. My skin was going through a bad stage by breaking out a bit, however since using this I have hardly any blemishes left at all and my skin looks a lot more even and clear.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

This is a cult, hyped up product and I'm sure most people have heard of and even own a tube of this! I absolutely love it and have been using it for a few years now. In the winter my lips tend to get pretty dry and this is amazing at keeping them hydrated and soft. I apply this every night before I go to bed and I also pop it on any dry areas on my hands. The one in the photo is a mini one I keep on my bedside table and I also have a bigger one on my dressing table!

YSL Touche Eclat Foundation

This foundation was in my October Favourites and there is also a full review of it here. I usually try not to include the same product two months in a row but I thought this deserved it as I have been loving it so much! I have been using it everyday this month and it is amazing! My skin is left looking natural, radiant and it is one of the only foundations I own that matches my skin colour perfectly! 

Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray

If you read my review of this then you will know that I was on the fence about this product. It doesn't control my oily skin at all but it does set my makeup amazingly well so it lasts all day. I have been using this everyday recently and it is growing on me! I love spraying this on my face after foundation and concealer as it does set it so well. I then powder my skin a while later and my skin is set to go!

Nars Deep Throat Blush

This blush is a lovely shimmery, glowing rose pink colour with a bit of peach in it. I think it looks nice on my pale skin and has definitely been my favourite, most worn blush this month. It adds a gorgeous flush of pink whilst the peachy tones warm up my skin a little.

Those are all of my favourites this month! Let me know what you have been loving and if you have any recommendations!

October Favourites

Hello! November seems to have come around so quickly! It doesn't feel that long ago since I posted my September Favourites!

My first favourite is the Tigi S Factor Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. I have written about this in my Hair and Clothing Haul which should be one of the next posts up. My hair is fairly thick and almost frizzy sometimes and using these really help smooth it down and make it very soft and manageable. 

Next is my Kerastase Elixir Ultimate hair oil (review here) and this is honestly my favourite hair oil! It leaves my hair so shiny and just very very soft. 

Lastly for hair is my Denman hair brush! If you have seen my London Haul then you will have read that I purchased a second hairbrush from Denman because I love this one so much! It does feel as though it just smooths over the top layer so I would recommend having another hair brush for properly brushing through any tangles in your hair. I love using this as the last step of my haircare routine as it just smooths over my hair and leaves it looking smooth and somehow more shiny!

Onto makeup, my next favourite is the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation (review here). This feels very lightweight on the skin and I love the dewy, radiant finish this gives.

Next is my Rimmel Stay Matte powder! I always need to powder my skin and I have tried more expensive powders but I find this one does the job really well.

I used to wear eye liner everyday but then I stopped using it altogether! It's only recently that I've started wearing it more and I love the L'Oreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss. I really disliked this when I first bought it and put it to the back of my drawer. I have rediscovered it recently though and it's great! I can apply it in one or two sweeps across my top lash line and it is very black and lasts all day!

My last favourite is actually a person! I have seen other bloggers include people in their favourites so hopefully it's not weird. Haha! My favourite is Georgina from Live Laugh Lipstick and she is honestly one of the loveliest girls I have ever met. I love her blog and find all of her posts amazing so I would definitely recommend checking her blog out!

That is all my favourites throughout October!

What have your favourites been? Have you tried any of these products?
