First of this month’s favourites is the Boots Witch Hazel and Tea Tree range. I’ve been
searching for ages for that special something to help sort my skin out. As is
the case for a lot of people, it really is trial and error to find the routine
that works for you. After watching a video of the lovely Sarah mentioning
the Blemish
stick, I went to Boots on my lunch break and bought a few items
from the range. After a couple of days there was a noticeable difference to my
skin, it was a lot clearer, brighter and softer.
Day Moisturiser – Unlike any other moisturiser I’ve tried,
the consistency of this is wonderful and really cooling on the skin as it’s a
gel formula rather than a cream. It dries within a minute or two and is the
‘perfect prep’ for makeup.
Night Gel – Again
this is super cooling on the skin which is great after a long day. I tend to
apply this after I’ve used a facemask before bed. Also super relaxing!
Back Spray – I use
this more as an all over for a quick skin refresh more so than for its actual
purpose.
I definitely will be picking up more of what they have to
offer soon, especially as every item is under £5.
Next is the Revlon
Colour Stay Foundation. This has become my go to foundation for the past month
or so. Shade wise it’s perfect and is a medium to high coverage. I’m on the
pretty pale side so finding a shade for me can be a challenge sometimes; I’ve
even had to mix a white foundation in some cases to match which isn’t ideal.
It promises to be ‘flawless looking and weightless for 16 perfect hours’ I
wouldn't say that it lasts for 16 hours but it does last for a good while and
can be a little hard to budge when using some removers. For me this is great
because my work day can vary from being in the office to out and about or
running across town. I hardly touch up apart from a little powder during the
day.
This
MUA palette has become my everyday go to for eye shadows. The payoff is
amazing, especially for £6 for 10 shades. This also includes a shimmery blue,
green and purple which are colours I don’t usually sway to but this month I’ve
tried to ‘branch out’ of my makeup comfort zone. As you can see it's well loved due to the terrible state of the packaging.
Next up is a dye from bye Bleach London in the colour ‘Blullini’.
Following their instagram always makes me want to do my hair a range of
different colours so I thought why not? Only issue, as with a lot of blue dyes
is the fading generally gets to a green/yellow colour which is stubborn to shift;
this can be fixed with the Bleach washing out liquid.
Carmex, the perfect fix for chapped lips days.
A film favourite now, all I have to say / sing to you through
the internet is DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN? For those who don’t know the
reference, I cannot stop watching Frozen.
A music favourite of this month is Banks. I’ve been listening to her for a while now and she is not one
of those you have in a playlist on shuffle and skip over. Brain has been on repeat
since I first heard it, listen to it here. I really hope I can see her live at some point
because she is just too good to miss again.
Lastly is a blogger favourite which is the lovely Sarah (as
mentioned earlier!) I’ve been watching her videos/reading her blog for a while
now and she’s just lovely. Her outfit posts always make me end up making a very
long wish list! Be sure to check her out.
