December Favourites

Just jumping on the bandwagon of most of the other fashion bloggers out there and giving you all a peek at my December favourites. 

Jumper, H&M £14.99// Shirt, Missguided £24.99// Lush Comsetic warrior face mask £5.95// Garnier moisture match glow £2.98// Collection no clumps mascara £2.99// pink cami, Oasis £6// Accessorize elephant pendant £10// Messenger zip bag, Peacocks £10// Lord of Misrule bath bomb, Lush £3.50// Purple cami, George £2.25//

Had a bit of a haul last month, and they've quickly become some of the favourite products of the month. The shirt and leggings in particular are items I've worn countless times already! I couldn't find a link to the leggings online but they were £14.99 from H&M. I'm very pleased with the cami tops, they're slowly becoming my new go to tops for lounging around or base layers and they were both so cheap!

I was on the lookout for a small cross body bag just for my walk to nursery with Tayla in the week and this one is perfect for my gloves, purse, phone etc and was only £10!

The wrapped box was actually a Christmas present for my friend, I just featured it as it was pretty and also I love the actual gift. It's the Lush Lust perfume and is one of the nicest perfumes I have smelled, it stays on your clothes for ages as well so you barely need to spray any of it! 

This is the stock photo of both the face mask and the lord of misrule bath bomb. I've never tried the Cosmetic warrior mask before, it's supposed to be those who get quite a lot of spots and as my skin wasn't at it's best last month this was a great product for me. It's infused with garlic and honey and although it does smell a bit funky it works a treat! The Lord of misrule bath bomb is a new one from Lush and strangely it turns your bath purple! I did like it though and it didn't leave a stain which is always good. 

The no clumps mascara (as well as the smokey eye one featured in the Glossybox review for last month) is actually a really good one and at only £2.99 it's a great purchase! My all time favourite of the December buys was this cute little necklace from Accessorize. For something so dainty it's so detailed and well made, an excellent addition to my necklace collection!

What were some of your favourite December purchases?

Daily Skin

I've been having a bit of a block on what to post about recently and completely forgot I had planned to do a daily skincare regime post after the My everyday post a couple weeks back. So here it is!

From left to right: 

Lush Ocean salt face scrub £7.25 100g

Lush Fresh pharmacy cleanser £4.75 100g

Lush Breath of fresh air toner £3.95 100g

Steam cream moisturiser £13.00 85g

Bright eyes treatment cream £5.99 15ml

Skin system facial wipes 

Trial sized Charity pot body cream  £1 10g

Wow when you write it all down it does seem like quite a lot.. I have reviewed a couple of these products before so will just touch on them briefly and include links for anyone who missed the previous posts. 

First of all the cleansers;

The ocean salt is an exfoliating facial scrub which smells amazing. It's by far my favourite Lush product and makes my skin feel amazing. This is strictly a once a week product as the lovely lady at Lush told me, you are only supposed to exfoliate once a week at most otherwise you will dry out your skin and nobody wants that now they? It's obviously all natural products, made with sea salt, grapefruit infusion and (the weird one) organic lime extracted in vodka among lots of other things. I've been using this product for over a year now and think it's going to carry me well into the winter! The one on the right is the Fresh pharmacy daily cleanser. You just wet your face, rub all over and then rinse off! Easy as pie :) It's great for a quick cleanse when you don't have a lot of time and I use it everyday without fail. And the amazing thing is I bought a 150g portion back on my birthday which is in the middle of June, and it's barely gone down at all. Well worth the money.

I haven't featured the toner or bright eyes cream as I've previously reviewed them in My everyday and Good morning bright eyes. The steam cream I have also previously reviewed, but felt like having another little rave about it. This pot was bought in April time and as you can see I've still got quite a bit left! It's a new all-in-one natural moisturiser that's really light and promises to keep your skin hydrated all day. It can also be used all over the body and for your hands as well so it's a pretty good all rounder. This charity pot was an impulse buy to support one of Lush's charities. I have previously bought the big pot of it which is £8.75 for 95g or £12.95 for 240g. I love this product but when I bought it before I kept forgetting I actually had it and of course, it went off. I tend to use this little trial pot for these annoying dry patches of skin I get on my arms and it seems to be working pretty well. I also haven't featured the wipes as these are just some cheap ones I picked up in Wilkinson's for sensitive skin. They're good for just wiping over your face after using cleanser to make sure there's no make up residue left.

That's my everyday but I am running out of all of these and have been looking into new more high end products for winter. Those harsh icy winds dry out my skin something chronic! After googling around I've picked out a cleanser, toner and moisturiser that I might have to try soon. 

Clarins gentle foaming cleanser for dry skin £18 125ml

No.7 soothed gentle toner £8 200ml

L'Oreal Paris skin perfection day moisturiser £9.99

I've never tried any facial products from any of these brands before and going by the customer reviews they sound like what I'm looking for. Check back for a post on these soon! I'm going to stick with my ocean salt for an exfoliator as the rest of that pot will last me at least another month yet. 

What products do you think are best for Winter this year?
