January 16 Favourites

Welcome to the first monthly favourites of the year, I hope you all had a great January even though it has flown by. I love January, for me it is a month that symbolises new beginnings, a step towards making yourself the you that you want to become. This month for me has been focused on work, studying and healthy eating. I started back on my old healthy eating and exercise regime, over the past 4 weeks I have lost a whopping 11 pound and 3 inches from my waist and 1.5 inches from my hips, so this month has consisted of a lot of random favourites including recipes, foods and lifestyle bits but for now here are my January beauty faves!

Christmas Presents 2015

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year, today is a little depressing for me as it’s the day that I have to take down the Christmas tree, so before the festivities completely disappear for another year I thought I would tell you about the Christmas presents that I received this year – which I am super grateful for. I’ve concentrated only on beauty because I didn’t want to bore you too much with every pressie I got (but definitely let me know if you would like to see a post on all other pressies). So here are some of the beauty goodies that Rob, my family and my friends got for me this year!

September 15 Favourites

It’s that monthly favourites time again! Another month over and another month closer to Christmas (sorry!!), after saying goodbye to September we can now welcome October, and undoubtedly welcome Autumn, woooo! (cue the countless Autumnal blog posts). September was a stressful month for me, filled with revision, exams, car break downs, buying a new car, having my new car hit by a runaway driver, hospital visits and finishing off the month with the all clear from my doctors and passing my exams! But even after ending on a high my usual makeup and skin care routine took a bit of a hit, this month my skin has been awful so there are a couple of skin care favourites and as I have worn hardly any makeup due to hibernating to study most of the month, there are only a couple of faves for when I have reached for the war paint!

Mini Lush Haul Sep 15

I went to Lush last week and picked up a couple of goodies for my sister-in-law and so obviously had to get some stuff for myself, I know I will have to go back in a few days due to the release of all the Christmas Lush products, but you can never have too much Lush, right?! I picked my sister-in-law up a Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb (£3.35), this is heart shaped and smelt of roses and was filled with rose petals that float around your bath, floral isn’t really my thing but perfect for her. But here’s what I came home with for me..

SK:N Clinics

I have had these products for absolutely ages, and I have been dying to tell you all about them, but I wanted to make sure I gave them a really good try before I shared with you what I thought! These products were sent to me from sk:n clinics and I was sent their Cleanser for normal or combination skin, the Blemish Control Lotion and the Age-Delaying Cream. I adore the packaging, I think they look really simple and sleek. Sk:n Clinics are official partners with the NHS and the British Skin Foundation.

Wilko's Kiss Range

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews for Wilkos new beauty range Kiss, so I thought it was definitely time that I gave it a try and made my own mind up. I bought 5 things from the range; the primer, body scrub, cleansing foam, clay face mask and the lip scrub. The whole range has this very sweet and simple packaging and these adorable little ‘benefit esque’ slogans on them. Everything from the range has a light apricot, fruity scent which is gorgeous!
