January Favourites!

So... the first month of 2013 is over and we're well into February!

 

For my second blog post, I thought that I would make my very first monthly favourites! As these are very popular on both Youtube and Blogs, I thought it would be best if I started here...

Every month I will be posting about my favourite products I have discovered/used that month. Whether they are beauty related or even a film I really liked. I hope you enjoy! 

Vera Wang- Princess Night

I got this fragrance for Christmas and I LOVE it! The bottle is beautiful- there's no such thing as too many sparkles! It sits on my dresser perfectly. Also, the smell is delicious... "with first impressions of luscious wild berries and watermelon, blended with sweet raspberry...". You should defiantly try it next time your out!

Sally Hansen- Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

When I paint my nails, I always find that if I use too thick of a coat, it will take ages to dry or sometimes won't even harden. This means I have to take it off and try with another colour. Also, if they do ages to dry, they always look good for the first day but then as soon as I get ready for school they chip. This means it is always a right faff if i want to paint them.  

After my friend bought this earlier in the month and raved about it, I thought I would try the Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat by Sally Hansen. I love it! You have to paint your nails, wait for a few minutes... then apply the topcoat. After waiting a few more minutes, your nails are completely dry! It's amazinggggg!!!

Collection 2000- Lasting Perfection Concealer

Now... if you read many beauty blogs or watch beauty related videos, you will defiantly know what this it! Due to a combination of its cheap price and amazing coverage... it is a concealer that has been raved about by many. For £4.19 (depending on where you buy it) this concealer is a miracle! I now use it in my every day make up routine as it can cover any types of blemishes or dark under eye circles.

Simple- Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser

So, I find that my skin is combination as I have an oily T-Zone but the rest of my face can get quite dry. However, if I use a heavy/ regular moisturiser, i find that my face comes out in spots under the skin. This means that it was hard for me to use a one that wouldn't annoy my sensitive skin. But, I came across this "light moisturiser" in Primark for only £1! It works really well. It adds moisture to my skin without making it oily. I've already bought another one in case i run out!

Strawberry Body Butter- The Body Shop

The Body Shop is well known for its amazing body butters, their creamy and hydrating formula. I had always wanted to try them as me and my friends would always go in and look at them all... weird i know... But the thing that put us off was the price, at £13 we wouldn't buy one, especially because we didn't know how good they were. But one day when we were in town, I noticed they were selling them for roughly half price! I decided to buy one as I had been wanting it for ages and I am really happy I did! They are amazing and I defiantly recommend you going to have a look at them. My favourite is the strawberry one... they soothe your legs really well after they have been shaved and smell delicious!

Calvin Klein Nail Polish- Madly Mauve

Finally, I have a beauty product from Calvin Klein. A nail polish... I found this at a small barrel in a shopping centre for only £1.99. I first of all thought the colour was amazing! And you couldn't go wrong for the price. When I got home and tried it, I decided it was defiantly worth it. After a few coats, you uncover a blue shimmer in a plum coloured base... creating the most beautiful colour. It lasts for about 5 days which is good as mine normally chips in 2-3 days. If you see it you should definatly pick it up.

So... there is my first monthly favourites post. Sorry it's late, I've been really busy a school and never had the time to finish it. But it's here now! Comment below if you felt the same way about a product as i did and have any questions... or if you have any good recommendations- I'm always up for trying new products!
