I'm going to try and do Monthly Favourites, it may not be every month as a lot of things don't tend to change, but when I find an amazing product I will be sure to update! So as January finally draws to a close I hope you enjoy my top picks for January.
Illamasqua Light Liquid Foundation shade 115 – Being so pale I’m almost translucent, it is
an absolute nightmare to find a foundation colour that actually matches my
skin, and Illamasqua has such a great range of colours. I initially bought the
Light Liquid Foundation for my kit, I have 6 colours in total, but I tried this
out and was instantly impressed with how good the colour was for me. I’m not a
great fan of the consistency of this product, as its quite dry and doesn’t have
an amazing coverage, so what I’ve been doing is using predominately the
Illamasqua foundation and adding a small amount of Revlon Colour Stay in Ivory
which I find adds a bit more to the coverage, and it stops the Illamasqua L.L.F
looking too dry on my skin. I will hopefully be investing in the Illamasqua
Skin Base foundation; however the closest Illamasqua counter is in Cardiff
Liz Earle – Cleanse and Polish – This doesn’t need any explanation; you can find my review here
which will tell you why I love it so much!
Lush – Snow Fairy – I
bought this at the very end of December when Lush had their half price sale of
all their Christmas lines. I had heard so much about it on YouTube as everyone
seems to be addicted to it, so I thought I would pop in and see what all the
fuss was about. It smells so good! I would liken it to the smell of the Lush
Bubblegum Lip Scrub. Such a sweet smell, which may not be to everyone’s taste,
I also couldn’t resist the name. Let’s face it, anything to do with fairies I’m
all over it (If you hadn’t realised already my name means Fairy). Not only does
it smell amazing, it lathers up so nicely, the bubbles are so soft and creamy
and it makes your skin so smooth! Unfortunately they are only brought out every
Christmas, so I bought two bottles, and I’m trying to use it sparingly.
Aussie – Luscious Long Shampoo and Conditioner – I’m going to confess something terrible
right about now, I haven’t had my hair cut in nearly a year! I know, terrible,
shoot me down, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I had it all cut off
really short (well, short for me, it was shoulder length) back in 2010 and
since then my hair has been growing so slowly, that now I have it at the length
I want I’m just too scared to go and get it cut again. I will eventually
because the ends are so dead. But I’ve been using Aussie’s Luscious Long range
and it’s been so good for my hair. It smells amazing like all of Aussie’s
products, but it also makes my hair so soft, and it feels thicker too. I can
swoosh it around and it feels like I’ve just stepped out of the hair dressers,
it may not look like it, but it certainly feels like it. I don’t know all the
ins and outs of the products, but I think it’s definitely benefited my hair
On Saturday night it was one of my friend Dannie's Hen Night and the theme was the Letter D (for obvious reasons) and I went as a disco ball! Here are some pictures from the night!
