October 2014 Favorites

Hello Everyone,

November has finally come which means its time for me to share my October favourites with you. During October I start using products that are alot more moisturising because it starts getting colder so my skin and hair need more moisture. I am so happy that its finally November because this not only means there's one month until Christmas but it also means that its officially Autumn and I love November weather too. 

My first favourite is my Asda jar candle in the scent 'Peony Blossom'. If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know I love candles in general but this candle is just amazing. It has a fresh smell that smells a bit like lavender but it also have a nice warming feeling. This candle is really big, it lasts for ages and its not expensive at all. 

My next two favourites are both from Dove. My first favourite is the silk glow body wash by Dove. I love this because it is really nourishing and moisturising and it smells amazing (like most dove products do). I have managed to use up the whole bottle throughout the month of October.

My second Dove favourite is the dove hair therapy dry shampoo. I have talked about this dry shampoo so much because it seriously works wonders, all you need to do is spray this onto the roots of your hair then massage it into your scalp and it adsorbs all the excess oil leaving your hair looking clean in-between washes. 

My third favourite is the Beautycyle mask,scrub and brighter from the Fire collection. My skin started getting really bad during September and it only has just started getting back to being normal. I had constant breakouts because towards the end of summer my skin got really oily. I tried out a few products but nothing seemed to work. I then bought this product hoping for the best and it has helped my skin so much. I use it twice a week and it scrubs off all your dead skin cells leaving your skin very smooth and it also brightens it. It has also helped me control my oil as well which means I haven't had really bad breakouts. I'm not going to go too much into depth about this because I do want to do a separate blog post about it.

My next two favourites are both from Nivea and they are both lip products. The first one is the Nivea lip butter in raspberry rose. I love this because it not only moisturises your lips but it also has a really nice smell which to me smells like raspberry yoghurt. It is a light pink colour and it also lasts ages. My other Nivea favourite is the pearly shine lip balm. I featured this in my Products I've Used Up/Empties blog post that I wrote in May. I used the whole thing up but I loved it so much I re bought it, its great for autumn/winter because it feels really nice on the lips and it adds a nice pearly shine.

My next favourite is quite random but its a tea. As it starts getting colder I drink more hot drinks and tea is one of them. While my skin was going through a hard time I bought this Twinnings pure green tea because green tea has alot of benefits. I bought it decaffeinated because it still tastes the same and caffeine isn't the best for you.

My final October 2014 favourite is the L'oreal Elnett Satin volume excess hairspray. This hairspray doesn't leave your hair sticky sand it disappears at the stroke of a brush. It leaves your hair with a shiny finish and lasts all day long. It also adds lot of volume to your hairstyle.

These are all of my October 2014 favourites. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and that you try some of the things out.

Summer 2014 Favourites

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm going to be showing you my Summer 2014 favourites. During the summer I didn't do many monthly favourites (in fact I only did one) because 

I was loving mostly the same products. I know its not officially the end of Summer but I'm just really excited for Autumn and I'm over summer, so why not wrap summer 2014 up with my favourites? 

The first couple of things that I have loved two summers in a row are the Palmers cocoa butter lip balm and the NSPA raspberry body mist. I discovered these two products last year and they have been my summer staples ever since! The lip balm moisturises and smooths your lips and the body mist makes you smell fruity on those hot,sticky summer days. 

Another product that I have re discovered in my make-up collection is a Rimmel lipstick in the colour 600 soft coral. This colour is a very pretty orangey coral colour with shimmer. I got this lipstick around 1-2 years ago so I'm not sure if they still sell it.

 My fourth favourite is a dry shampoo from Dove. I heard lots of things about this dry shampoo from 'Zoella' (beauty blogger) and I decided to try it out because I am always looking for better dry shampoo's. I love using dry shampoo's because my hair gets quite oily within one day after washing it, but I heard many times that it is not good to wash your hair so dry shampoo's keep me going for one more day before I have to wash my hair. It absorbs most of the oils from your hair and it doesn't leave white powder in your hair.

 Another product is the Dove summer glow lotion. This lotion has colour in it so when you use it you can gradually build up your tan. This lotion is very moisturising and not streaky at all, you can also buy it with shimmer but I prefer this one without the shimmer.

 My last three favourites are beauty favourites, they are the natural collection cream blush in rosy pink, the bronzing powder from miss sporty and the Kohl pencil from Barry M. The cream blush is a really nice pink colour which I think will also look amazing in autumn and it just creates a nice glow on your cheeks. The Kohl pencil from Barry M is in a really pretty bright pink colour and its also very long lasting. My last favourite is the bronzing powder from miss sporty. This is a highlighter and bronzer duo in the colour 'I'm Blonde and fabulous'. This bronzer just creates a really nice bronzed glow and it also absorbs oils.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post. My next upcoming blog posts are going to be be Autumn related.

Comparing EOS And Balmi

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to be comparing the sweet mint EOS to the mint Balmi. I did get some EOS lip balms for Christmas but I believe they were bought online because you can't buy EOS products in England and I bought my Balmi in Boots but if you live in places like America you can buy EOS products in places like Walmart or Target.

The EOS comes in a sphere shape and the Balmi comes in a cube shape but the actual lip balm in the Balmi  is in a pyramid shape. The EOS is alot more solid than the Balmi and the product is more yellow whereas the Balmi is quite white but they both come out sheer on the lips. I find that the EOS does last alot longer on the lips than the Balmi does. I also find that you get less of the lip Balm in the Balmi because I haven't had my Balmi  for a week yet and I have already gone through half of it whereas I have had my EOS since Christmas and I still have alot of the lip balm left. The Balmi is alot more creamy but it is quite hard to get the lid back on which makes the Balmi very messy. After applying the lip balms they both leave a cooling tingle and they leave your lips very soft and smooth. Overall I think that I prefer the EOS because it lasts alot longer than the Balmi but they are nearly both as good as each other.
