January Favourites




Hi again lovelies!!

Where has January gone?! The festive season is well and truly behind us for another year - but half of my favourites this month have been from Christmas gifts. I'm quite easily pleased when it comes to gift ideas for me. As long as it consists of make up and smellies you really can't go wrong. I do have my favourites and luckily hubby and family know me well enough to always include Mac and Soap & Glory!!

The first of my favourites is the Soap & Glory Thick and Fast mascara. Apart from the Sexy Mother Pucker (that like this mascara came in a gift set) I've not really delved into S&G cosmetics, but I will be looking in future. I love this mascara! I'm not really a fan of these plastic wands, the only exception would be for Benefits They're Real. The S&G wand has a good old fashioned thick bristled brush to really get a good coating of mascara on your lashes. I just really love it and will definitely be re purchasing!!

Another S&G product - Sugar Crush Body Wash. A really lovely fresh and sweet citrus wash that for some reason makes me think of Mexico. I think it's the limes and relations of limes and tequila in Margaritas!! Either way it's a lovely energising wash that I love and got 2 bottles of over Christmas so I'm good for a while!! 

Mac Fix+. Since my post the other week I had to include this as I've used it so much more since grabbing the travel size bottle. We have electric heaters on at work and this really helps with keeping my skin hydrated (as well as lots of water) during the day and keeping my make up in place

Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Furore. A little sale purchase and so glad I got it. It's a really lovely champagne colour that I use to highlight under my brow and on my cupid's bow before applying lipstick. I've used it everyday since I bought it. I'm trying more and more Illamasqua products and I really love this brand. They have a great social media presence and really take notice of their followers. 

Laura Mercier Crème Brûlée Soufflé Body Crème. A gorgeous rich Crème infused with vitamins A, C and E and Shea butter that gives all day moisture without being greasy. I use this for evenings and going out. I love the smell, it's good enough to to eat!! 


Lastly, Bioderma Sensibo H2O Micelle Solution. I know that this is now a long established beauty must, but its not the first time I've tried a micellar water solution - I've been using the L'oreal version for a good few months, then it dawned on me that seeing as I was in central London everyday I could probably find it in one of the many pharmacies near where I work in the Mayfair area, and I did!! I think I do prefer it to the L'oreal version, it doesn't seem to leave that residue that its dupes tend to have. Saying that, I have noticed that Garnier are offering their version now - has anyone tried that? What are your thoughts?



I hope you all have had a lovely January, what have been your favourites, and is there any of mine you've tried?

    The boioderma is amazing!! I can't live without it. Tom keeps using my s&g body wash. He tries to deny it but he gets into bed smelling of lemon sherbets.... Busted Yarders!

    Another great post beautiful lady. Xx
