November Favourites!

It's been fairly quiet on the "favourites" front this month.  I don't feel like I've really changed much since October in terms of make up and skincare routines.  To be honest, I think Christmas and Birthdays have been taking up a lot of my time and I've resolved to be so better organised this year as I always end up in a complete flap come Christmas Eve.

I am still absolutely loving the Rimmel Only 1 Matte Lipsticks and the shade High Flyer has been on my lips pretty much every day.  I won't go into too much detail about these as I did a complete blog post dedicated to them a few weeks ago which I'll link here if you'd like to have a read.
Another firm favourite has been the Rimmel Fix and Perfect primer. I really can't describe how nourished it makes my skin feel.  I'm nearly at the end of the bottle and will definitely re-purchase.  This has featured in my October favourites which I'll link here if you want to have a more detailed read about it.
Three new additions this month are skincare items and the first is the Zoella Hungry Hands Hand Cream.  I am obsessed with all things gingerbread come this time of year and I've been searching for a couple of years now for a Christmassy-scented hand cream.  This fits the bill perfectly with its gingerbread and vanilla scent.  It's available for £5 (normally £6) from Superdrug and I'm so surprised at the way it just sinks into my skin and isn't greasy at all.  I'm assuming this is limited edition so I've batch bought so I can still get my fix after Christmas.
The last two things that I'm loving are the Treacle Moon shower gel in Gentle Powder Love and the body cream in The Honeycomb Secret. 

My friend first bought me some Treacle Moon products years ago so I know how great they are (they are available to buy from Tesco) and I think they are a slight dupe of the Philosphy brand as their packaging is quite similar. I was actually looking for their Cinnamon Nights shower gel that I picked up last year - it's a great Christmas scent but they didn't have it so I bought the Gentle Powder Love shower gel instead.  This smells exactly like baby powder.  It literally took me right back to when I was little.  The bottle is huge (500ml) for £2 and it lathers so well.  I also picked up The Honeycomb Secret body cream to use mainly on my legs.  I suffer so badly with dry skin on my legs and it had got so bad that I would literally scratch my legs until they bled (not a pretty picture I know but the truth) so was desperate to find something to hydrate them and this has worked wonders.  It looks very similar to the Body Shop Body Butters but I would say it isn't as heavy and sinks in almost instantly and at £3 a whole lot cheaper.  I'm seriously impressed with this and the scent is lovely....like melted Crunchie's!
So that's it for another month! For December I'll be doing a round up of all my favourites for the year which I'm really looking forward to.

I would love to know if you have any favourite products that you love using.

Love Katherine xxx

Brand Review: Essence Cosmetics

Image
Hey everyone, I wanted to keep with the theme of the last blog post and do another review on a really super affordable cosmetic brand that I'm so happy I discovered.  Essence Cosmetics is owned by the German company Cosnova Beauty and is a fun, affordable range of make up that you can buy here in the UK online or in high street shop, Wilkinsons.  I personally think it's along the same lines as the Miss Sporty range and would say their branding and affordability is aimed at the teenage market. I have never used anything from them before but had seen some pictures popping up on my Instagram feed and they all came with positive comments.  I knew there were a few things in my make up collection that I needed to update like mascara's, so I grabbed a cuppa and went online to their webpage (you can have a look here ) to have a look at the range of products and also if there were any reviews.  I have to say, pretty much all the reviews were great and the prices...

March Favourites!

Image
Hey everyone, It's official!! It's Spring!! and still flipping freezing cold so my enthusiasm for the two mild days we had earlier this month has well and truly worn off! March has been a quiet month in terms of favourites for me.  Although I seem to have bought quite a few new make up and clothing items I haven't really had a chance to put them to good use.... yet! So here's a quick round-up of the few things I've been reaching for in the month of March: Nestling Oval Make Up Brushes I bought these in January and have really enjoyed using them.  I was sceptical at first and thought they were very gimmicky but they apply my foundation and concealer so effortlessly and I find them almost therapeutic to use.  I bought this set from Amazon and although I've stuck to using mainly the larger ones I am eager to try out the smaller ones for eyeshadow and highlighter. Essence Cosmetics Colour and Care Lipsticks I won't go into too much detail...
