'Metal Cherry' blush - Makeup Store // Vaseline // Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing powder - Too Faced // YSL Fusion Ink foundation // Blindfold me Blue - Rimmel London // Off the shoulder - Essie // L.A. Girl Pro.setting spray // Maybelline  lipstick in Vivid Rose 904 // L'Occitane hand cream

Last month I found myself experimenting quite a lot with beauty products. Firstly I would like to tell you guys about this amazing shea butter hand cream from L'Occitane, it smells and feels divine on the hands, it literally moisturises all cracks and I promise you that your hands will no longer be ashy. This YSL foundation was also featured in my previous 'favourites' post, I'm still loving it and perhaps a review might soon follow if anyone out there's interested; or you could simply watch reviews of it on YouTube. The Essie nail polish is something I tend to return to every now and then, it's especially great for the summer season as is the deep blue from Rimmel London. 

Monthly Favourites | November

Beauty
NIP+FAB foot cream // Thierry Mugler Mugler Show Eu de toilette // Atrix hand cream
Clarins moisturiser // Bath & Body works hand gel // Blistex lip balm
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette // Nivea roll-on // Bobbi Brown foundation stick
Sleek lipstick // Maybelline Linerefine eyeliner [brows] // Essie [off the shoulder]


Having not posted any monthly favourites as  of late I decided to do one for the month of November seeing as I was loving quite a lot of things. Mind you some of these item you've mostly likely already seen on here before. First comes one of my top five foot creams out there and it's from NIP+FAB, it's very moisturising and perfect to keep your legs smooth and soft especially in this cold. A while back I'd posted a review of both the Clarins daily moisturiser [here] and Sleek lipstick [here] so to get more in-depth thoughts regarding them, go ahead and open the links. For school I've found myself rocking neutral eye shadows and topping them off with my favourite Gosh liner, thus I've been getting a lot of use from the UD Naked 3 palette and lastly is the Thierry Mugler Mugler Show eu de toilette, I've almost drained the entire bottle and it's not long ago since I got it. It's a more summery scent than winter nonetheless I've worn it non-stop.

 Hopefully everyone's having a great week and looking forward to the weekend, I have my first final tomorrow and it's in Mathematics... I'm dreading it and have been studying like a maniac the past days. My weekend will be spent soaking in books so I probably won't be back on here until late next week when I'm finished with my finals. Good luck to everyone who has exams week. xx

Monthly Favourites | June

Beauty
BOBBI BROWN Foundation Stick in Walnut (8): this is my summer go-to foundation for quick yet effective coverage without feeling heavy faces compared to if I were using a liquid foundation, which is normally what I opt for during the winter season.

Gosh Velvet lipstick in Kitch (86): I cannot put this lipstick away, I've  been adding a few more to my collection but this one still remains my favourite. It's a great 'get me up' product and putting this one on always leaves me feeling good.

FM Make up concealer in Dark Caramel: FM is a distribution business thingy like Herbalife and I saw that they had some women of colour friendly products thus I went ahead and tried their concealer. It works for me, the coverage ins't all that but it's quite light and I usually just apply it to my problematic areas and add a bit of powder then I'm out the door.
Atrix intensive hand cream: there's no arguing that this is the best hand cream our there, at least from what I've tried and I can sure tell you that I've been around when it comes to hand creams. It's rich and thick, perfect for dry and brittle hands + nails.

Maybelline the Rocket volum' express mascara: I've talked about this mascara before, here and here. It's literally the best mascara I've tried too. It gives great length and doesn't get sticky and thick like some mascaras do.

Blistex: I used to hate this lip product mostly because of it's strong scent and the tingly feeling it left me with after application but once I had an allergic reaction and had swollen lips which left me with very dry lips and I decided to give the blistex another try, it's all I've been using since winter!
Lavender essential oil: very relaxing scent that I both apply to parts of my body that hurt or feel swollen but mostly I use it for sleeping. I dab a few drops on my pillow and the rest of the night I sleep like a baby.

Gosh eye liner pen: Doing the winged liner is like the best thing for me right now, been rocking it for work, school, shopping and dinners. Pretty much any occasion and I feel this eyeliner gives me the best results.

O.P.I - SPARROW ME THE DRAMA: a beautiful baby pink polish that's perfect on both toe nails and finger nails. It goes well with any outfit and perfect for everyday.


Those are my favourite products of the month of June, the mascara's been featured in three monthly favourites posts so that just goes to show how much I really love it. Also I've started to go to the gym recently and I feel much better, will update you guys on that later :)
xoxo
