December Favourites

Hello!

So I know that this post is well overdue, and I'm so sorry for that. I kept putting it off until I could decide what to include as December was a month full of new products for me. I don't have loads of products to show you in this post, but i like to make sure that when I post a monthly favourites that they are products that I've been reaching for regularly and that they are truly favourites of mine.

So the fist product I have to show you is my first ever Stila palette, the Sparkle Luxe Eye Shadow Palette. This was a limited edition palette and I got this in the sale so unfortunately its not on the Stila website anymore but I still wanted to share it with you because, I've used it everyday since I got it!

The pigment in these shadows is amazing although I wasn't expecting anything less from what I've heard about the brand. I'm not going to write too much about this as there will be a review of the palette up on my blog soon, but I'll say that I'm definitely going to get another Stila product after this and I'd recommend you all go check out the eyeshadow palettes!

Next up is a repurchase for me, I used this product religiously for about 7 months, a couple of years ago and for some reason I just never bought another when it ran out. The Revlon Colourstay foundation is so well known and it really is one of the best foundations on the high street. It leaves a beautiful 'your skin but better' finish which is neither too dewy or too matte. I have the one designed for oily/combination skin in the shade 150 Buff and they also do one designed for normal/dry skin, which in my opinion is what makes this foundation so popular.

For a drugstore foundation I don't think its too badly priced at around the £10 mark, which is amazing considering the quality. If you're looking for a new foundation or you just love trying out new bases like I do, then I'd say that you should all give this one a try!

In my 'Christmas Haul' post I showed you this No7 Beautiful Skin Melting Gel Cleanser for Normal/Dry Skin that my mum got me and it's my new favourite. The harsh weather has completely dried my skin out and as my Clinique Take The Day Off balm had run out I was in desperate need of some revival. I'd been moaning to my mum so she got me this and a matching toner. This has really helped to rehydrate my face whilst giving it a good deep cleanse. I use this product to take off my makeup at night and in the morning before applying makeup. When you put this onto your fingers, it comes out as a gel like cleanser and after rubbing it into damp skin, transforms into a milky texture which is really soothing on the skin.This product is ask relatively in expensive and its from a brand I really trust.

My YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick had to be mentioned in this post, because I can't put it down. I'm not going to write much about this product as theres a more detailed review a couple of posts down, but I'd definitely say that it's a luxury product that everyone should have tried!

Next up is my Angled Shadow brush, unfortunately I've forgotten the name of the brand, but I know that its valuable on the Fragrance Direct website. I've been using this brush to fill in my eyebrows with a powder. This brush has completely changed the way my brows look. It gives me so much more control and detail that the thicker Real Techniques one I had previously been using. I think that If you're a brow girl like me then powder and a good angled brush is definitely the way forward when it comes to getting the best result.

Finally I have my Natural Collection blush in Pink Cloud. These blushers really aren't raved about enough, they are £1.99 and are some of the best I've tried. This one is a gorgeous, matte, baby pink (this photo doesn't do it justice)  and is the perfect shade for a more natural look. I love the way this looks on my skin paired with a good contour and highlight and at the price I don't think i can fault it. At £1.99 i really think that everyone should give one of these blushes a try, you never know you might have found your new favourite product. 

Thanks for reading guys! I hope you don't mind me posting so often for the last couple of days, I just keep having lots of ideas and I don't want to forget them! My next post should be up on Saturday and it will be a review! Please leave a comment below as I love to read them!
