Febuary favourites

Hi everyone, Febuary has been a slow month makeup wise as I have been so busy with job searching and interviews that I have kept it so basic.  I am still trying to get into a new good skincare routine as my old one has for some reason stopped working!  So there aren't many products this month but I expect that will change over the next month with so many releases coming up.

Rimmel wake me up foundation
This has been the best foundation released onto the high street in a while in my opinion.  It does give your skin a nice dewy (non-greasy though) look and certainly perked my skin up during the last month.

Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream
This is a long time favourite of many people and although I have always thought it was a good product it wasn't until the last month I've fallen totally in love with it!  As I said above my skin this month is so unsettled and this has dealt with any dry patches on my face overnight!

Elf Studio blush in Tickled Pink
This has been a goto everyday blush this month as I have had to keep my makeup very professional and natural looking and this is a suit all natural shade.  It has very very slight shimmer to it but it is barely noticeable and is the perfect natural flush pink shade.

The Bodyshop lip scuff
I mentioned this in my best lip balms post and I use this every night without fail before my lip butter.  It works so well on buffing away any chapped lips and dry patches and I love it as it isn't sweet like some sugar scrubs as I don't like the taste of sugar!

The Bodyshop Aloe protective serum
I decided to try this after talking to the lady in the Bodyshop and asking her to recomend me something new to try!  She suggested this as it wasn't perfumed so souldn't upset my skin and I've been using this a few weeks and my skin is getting there!  It doesn't leave my skin oily which is always a concern with serums and sinks in beautifully.

Rimmel Lycra pro in Coral Romance
I have raved enough about these polishes so I will only say once more how I think they are the best high street polishes and are amazing (wish they had more shades though)!  The shade I love is coral romance and it is a great shade for this time of year and perfect for seeing in spring!

That is all my favourites this month, I'd love to know your favourites and if you blogged about them leave me a link or if you can recomend me any great finds you've come across.  Thanks for reading.

Most used/most wanted November

Hi everyone, I can not believe how fast this month has gone, as I write this I am looking forward to having a piece of chocolate with my breakfast every morning for the next 25 days!
This month has been a strange one with the products I've been using as the weather changes every minute and I've been going to the gym a lot more so it sometimes feels pointless doing too much to my hair or face if I'm going to the gym a few hours later!  However on my days off from the gym I have been enjoying my makeup and hair products and finally my hair is long enough to really play with again! 
There aren't many products here as I'm planning another post on a lot of the products I've been using but here goes anyway!
The first product if Lush's ocean salt.

This is an amazing face scrub, I was warned by the lovely shop assistant that I should give it a good mix before I used it as it has large pieces of salt in and she was not joking!!

This was before I mixed it, it is quite a thick consistancy and smells almost alcoholic (it does have alcohol in it though!!), I didn't think I would like this and kept putting it back but ended up buying it anyway and I love it!  I use it once sometimes twice a week and my skin just feel fabulous after using it, really clean and well exfoiated-a definate re-purchase!
The next 2 products are ones I received in the monthly beauty boxes and I have used constantly.

They are the dermalogica age smart lip renewal complex and  Rose Petal salve.  I am a huge fan of lip products and the dermalogica lip renewal is a really thick consistancy and I used it twice a day and it is sadly all gone now but it will be on my Christmas list as it felt like it lasted ages and I loved it.
The Rose salve is still in my handbag and I put it on throughout the day and although it is very similar to vaseline (just a lot nicer!) it is more luxurious and just fabulous!

The next product I wanted to do a full blog post on so I won't say much about it yet, but it is the neutrogena wave.

I brought this from a discount store so it isn't actually branded neutrogena however it is the same one you see in big high street pharmacy stores and the exact packaging but with times beauty instead of neutrogena!

I have wanted the clarisonic forever, something just keeps holding me back.  Every review says it is amazing and people can't live without it now but I just can't seem to buy it yet and I'm not sure why.  This seemed like an alternitive and in most high street pharmacy stores this retails at £9.99 with the refils retailing for £5.00, however at the discount shop I got this in it was £1.99 so I had to get it!

You get a packet of pads for a month in the package and they sort of velcro to the main handset and I have to say after getting the hang of this (I will explain more in a full review) I love it!  It has made me think twice about the clarisonic and I may hunt one out after Christmas, loving this.

Most wanted.

1)  Still wanting Mac's paintpot in Let's Skate gggrrrr I need this!

2)  Neil's Yard Laveder cleanser, I' going to order this in the next week, looks lovely.

3)  Lush candycane soap.  I just brought a few bits in Lush and saw this on the way out, maybe next time!

4)  Some new blusher, not sure which ones yet but nice Autum/Winter shades-any recomendations?

That's all for now, thanks for reading

Most used, most wanted Oct/Nov

Hi everyone, this is a post about my most used products for October and the products I want the most in November, so here we go.

First up is the Clean and clear morning burst face wash, I love this, it really makes my skin tingle in the morning and is kind of shimmery so looks pretty too!

Next is the ELF browkit, I was so jelous of everyone who got the HD brow kit in their glossybox as I didn't get that months and I have been using this and I am so happy with it, it definately has changed my look totally just by using this product, couldn't do without it anymore!

I have a little bond with champneys products as it was the first spa I ever visited and remember how much I loved the experience so when boots started stocking their facial range I kept resisting as I have so many half used cleansers I really wanted to use mine up first, however they then went on 3 for 2 and I resisted a bit longer and finally gave in!  This smells very spa like and I did buy the toner, eye brightener and night rejuivinating moisteriser too and I have to say I love them all, my face feels very clean and the moisteriser has really hydrated my skin so finally a patch I had by my nose has gone, hooray! 

I got this in last months bouidor privey box and it is never far away from me this month!!  I love it have been using it all the time and will definately repurchase once it has run out, I love it!

I have been using this perfume non-stop as I find on my skin it lasts well and smells gorgeous, I normaly get hooked on a scent for a while and then change as I love smelling different!  This bottle I will be repurchasing though as I have been so pleased with it.

I've not been using much makeup this month as my skin needed a rest and it is looking the best it has in a while so I thought I'd retry ELF's mineral range as it has sat in my drawer untouched!  I have to say I could be converted to using mineral foundation as it looks fantastic!  It didn't provide enough coverage for bad days but does have more coverage than I imagined and doesn't look cakey either, I really want to try bare minerals now as I think I may get converted (until the next miracle foundation comes out!).  I think ELF is a great way to try different things and the mineral range was very well priced and I'm pretty sure I got it in their 50% weekend ages and ages ago!

Most Wanted!

Sorry about the alignment, I can't get it to aligne back to the left (oh the teething problems of a blog!).  Here is my most wanted for November.

• OPI Muppets collection-I really want them all!
• Nicki Minaj for OPI in pink Friday-this shade looks incredible
• Mac paint pot in Let's skate from their snow and ice collection, looks gorgeous for winter
• A decent home hair dye!  If anyone knows of any great brunette shades PLEASE let me know as I have decided not to go to the salon for colour anymore but am struggling to find a great home dye.

So that's it for this month, when I get my camera back I will add a photo of my most used products as I ad to use internet found images and think sometimes you ge a better view from someones home taken image so hopefully that will be added soon.  What is your most used/most wanted products lately, I'd love to hear.
