So this is a bit a monthly favourites. This is the first of these I've done so let me know what you think. 😜
The first product is the garnier ultimate blends collection. I use the cocoa butter and coconut oil version and #OMG my hair has never been so silky and smooth (well as smooth as curly hair can be). The products smell amazing and make the hair really manageable and rapidly reduce the frizz as well as give a gorgeous shine.
As you can see visible shine and a smoother finish |
Whilst on the subject of hair I want to talk about this morroccan Argan oil product. It's great as an overnight treatment for dry damaged hair and also helps with growth if massaged into the roots. This product can also be used after washing to add moisture and shine but use liberally. Available in poundland/dealz and savers.
I've also been loving the oz botanicals conditioning treatment. Since I have dry frizzy hair I like it to be well conditioned and soft and this product works well in doing so. In fact since using this along with the garnier range people have been complementing me on how healthy and soft my hair has been looking. And it also smells good which is also a bonus. Plus it's super cheap at just £1. Again available in poundland and savers.
For my skin recently I have been using this garnier intense moisturiser for hands, face and body. I've been using this daily on my face to lock in moisture and I have to say it works really well and my skin has been feeling plumper and hydrated. This is my 3rd pot because it's only a small amount but a steal. Available in savers and online at feelunique
For my body recently I have been loving the st.tropez tan optimiser body polish. It's a creamy exfoliater which has fine grains and helps to remove dry skin to enhance the look of your tan. Well worth a try. Available on the st.tropez website here..
I've also really been liking the Loreal sublime bronze nourihing body oil. It's a moisturising oil that give the skin a sheen along the shin bones and décolletage area. It looks amazing over a tan, think barbie perfect legs. Available in boots or feelunique for around 10 euro but i pocked it up for a bargain in poundland so just keep an eye out for these bargains because they tend to go very quickly.
Makeup wise I have been loving the Clinique pop lip colour + primer Lipstick. I got mine in the shade poppy pop. it's a really wearable colour great all year through and will suit a wide range of skin colours. I love this when paired with a sunkissed look and its perfect for daytime where during the festive season.
I have also recently tried out the revolution velvet liquid lipsticks. I got mine in the shade velvet vamp, velvet rebel and velvet depravity. The velvet depravity Is not a shade I would usually consider wearing but I thought it would be cool to try out for Halloween makeup looks and it works well when mixed with other shades. You can use it to make a gorgeous plum/wine shade when mixed with velvet vamp. However i love the rebel shade. Good lasting power too especially for the price point but can be a little drying on lips.

The Rimmel provacalips lip lipsticks have also been a favourite of mine this month. I got mine in the shade skinny dipping and little minx. These are amazing and last soo well. Can feel dry after a while (not as drying as the makeup revolution ones) but just top of with a nourishing gloss and your good to go. Will definitely be purchasing more colours.

One further lips product I've been loving recently are the lip liners from primark/penneys. I got mine in the nude and the plum. For the price point these last quite well but what I love the most is the colour payoff. I used the plum for my graduation makeup and my friends were all asking what it was. The nude is also amazing and looks exactly like velvet teddy from Mac when applied to the lips.

So a lot of lip products there especially for an eyeshadow fanatic like me hahahah.
Other than lipstick I've been loving the Sue moxley highlighter. It's a pinky tone highlight with a champagne shimmer and is just gorgeous. I've kinda gone into a phase of using more cool tone highlighters now that my skin is a little paler and this makes it look super dewy and fresh even if just applied on its own. Perfect for us fair girls.
The highlighter is the top layer and i love love love it. |
A mascara I've been loving this month is the nyc high defintion separating mascara. Its amazing to use on the bottom lashes and gives that long spidery look thats perfect with a smokey eye.
And of course I can't not mention the urban decay naked smokey pallete. This is the palette I've been waiting for. Cool tone eyeshadows for the perfect deep smokey eyes. Of course the pigment is of the usual UD quality so you can't fault it. I will be doing a post on this soon.
I tried these foot packs for the first time this month and ohh my god it's heaven for tired feet. You just apply then like socks and leave them on for however long you want but they recommend 20 mins. They leave your feet super soft and moisturised and they smell gorgeous especially the tea tree one. I've already bought a bunch more and can't wait to use them.
Finally, this product has to be the most adored product I have used this year and it's the mr blanc teeth whitening strips. My teeth are actually white for the first time in my life and i no longer feel conscious about the fluorosis marks on my teeth. Amazing product and enamel safe. 10/10. If you'd like an In depth review of these strips and my results then let me know.
