JANUARY // FAVOURITES

Hi Readers,

This week I'm bringing you my January favourites, most of which are things I got for Christmas. I've had a lot to love this month, and it's really helped me to experiment with new makeup, new colours and new styles. Enjoy! 

I finally got my hand on one of Zoella's products this month! I chose her pretty polished sugar scrub as I fancied something new for exfoliating, especially after doing things like shaving my legs. I love this product, it's so kind to skin and it smells amazing! My legs have been left looking amazing every time I've used this - can't wait to try some of her other products. 

This Nivea Sensitive Day Cream will be a long-lasting member of my skincare routine from now on. It's so good for my skin - it didn't flare up any dry spots at all, it's a beautiful think moisturiser that makes my skin feel amazing, no matter how much makeup I wear in a day. 

I also tried out a new foundation this month - the No7 Intelligent Colour Foundation. I love this for day-to-day use as it's so light and creamy. It feels so light on the skin, almost like a primer, but lasts all day and does a really good job of covering blemishes. 

Next I picked up the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams in the shades Milan (top), London (middle) and Amsterdam (bottom). I love these so much, they are so creamy they don't dry out the lips at all. They're super long lasting, a great price (around £5 each) and they are the perfect size to pop into my bag for a night out. The colours are absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to buy more of them. 

I have two palettes to talk about this month, the first being Urban Decay's Moondust Palette. This is a real game changer. It's so pretty, the colours are amazing and beautifully sparkly, and it would probably last for days if you didn't wash it off. I love the pink and silvery tones. 

Secondly is a palette which I saw on a friend first. I had seen the kind of trend of wearing a pink eyeshadow or a red colour across Facebook and Instagram but didn't have a dark enough shade to pull it off. I also had seen my best friend Fay (hi Fay xx) wearing the exact colour I was looking for. So I asked her months ago, and then made fun of her for wearing a palette called Neutrals vs Newtrals, but eventually I bought it and I have no regrets. All the colours are so so beautiful, and long lasting and you don't have to fork out £40 to buy it - I think it was around £7. I'd totally recommend Make Up Revolution's Neutrals vs Newtrals palette. 

Next is perfume. I love Christmas because it is around the only time of the year I get new perfume (mine usually lasts so long that I don't need to buy any through the year). This year I got Marc Jacobs' 'Dot', which is a gorgeous sweet scent, but in a grown up way. And the bottle is so cool! 

I also got No5 L'eau by Chanel this year. I love it so much and I feel so classy every time I wear it. It also reminds me of my Grannie as I can always remember boxes of Chanel perfumes on her bathroom shelf when I was younger. 

So that's it product-wise! Movie wise this month I saw Split at the cinema which was pretty amazing, would definitely recommend it (but prepare to jump a lot!). I also watched Zootropolis on a hungover day this month which was a really cool classic Disney movie. I also finished a show which is on Netflix called Episodes, which was really funny and easy to watch. Definitely check those out! Music-wise this month I've been loving You Me At Six's new album, it's so grown up for them and I definitely think it's their best written album yet. I've also been loving Deaf Havana's new album in the past few days its been out, can't wait to see them live in a few weeks! 

Hope your month has been as great as mine, and I hope Trump isn't making you too depressed - in such a divisive time, fight with unity. Thank you for reading and as always, you can find me on;
