February Favourites 2017

Not going to lie, but February has just been a bit of a rubbish month. I haven't really done anything, but I think everyone has a month like this in their life. February in general just is a bit boring and a bit down, because no one has any money, its cold outside, and the majority of people like me, have just been trying to get over a horrible cough/cold all month. Sorry to bring a downer to the month, but unfortunately thats how it's been *insert sad face*. However there has been a few products and bits and bobs I wanted to speak about.

Garnier Micellar Gel Wash - I can't actually explain to you, how much I love this product. I loved the original micellar water, which you put onto a cotton pad to then remove your makeup. But this gel wash, is on another level. Its great for someone who actually likes the feeling of washing their face, which is me down to a T. It's so effective, so easy to remove I couldn't actually believe it when I was using it. But I have been loving this to remove all my makeup, even my eye makeup! A MUST TRY.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Daily Solution - Me and my mum went for a little shopping trip this month, which was one of my favourite days of the month! We poked our heads into The Body Shop and I found this little beauty. Its basically a serum/treatment type product. You apply it after you've cleansed, before moisturiser. It's really cleared my skin up and prevented any further break outs. I don't know about you, but when I went a cold I just break out, whereas with using this, I haven't. 

ASOS - I have been frickin' lovin' Asos this month, my bank account hasn't, but thats another story. Theres just so many great things on there, and I love the way its just super easy to access lots of different shops on one site. I also have paid £9.95 for next day delivery for the year. That's totally worth it as well, if you are shopping on there a lot! I have got my money out of it... OOPS.

Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face mask - If I'm honest every Lush face mask I've ever used has been great for my skin, none of them  have broken me out or caused any irritation to my skin. I love that they are all made with fresh, natural ingredients. Catastrophe Cosmetic is made with blueberries, so its really calming and moisturising on the skin. It's just great for your skin if you are having a bad break out, or it's looking a bit dull basically when it's not living up to its full potential, pop this mask on and it works a treat. When I went to Lush they had actually ran out of this product, looks like I'm not the only person who loves this stuff! So thats why in the picture theres a tiny sample size. *insert sad face* 

L'Oreal Detox Facial Wash - Another skin care product? I haven't really been wearing makeup many days this month, and when I have its just the same products I love. This detox facial wash, its lovely. Do you ever feel like your skin has just got an almost greasy layer over it? Well this is perfect for that, it just gets into all the pores and cleans them out, my skin always feels so clean after, but not stripped. It doesn't break me out either, which I was actually expecting it to, because it's a 'detox wash' which I thought it would grab all the impurities, but it doesn't it just cleans so lovely. 

James Arthur - My mum actually got me his new album 'back from the edge' for Christmas, ever since I put it into my car, I've been obsessed. Theres not one song I don't like, they are all amazing. However, some favourites are; 'Can I be Him, Let Me Love the Lonely and Finally'. Such a great album!

February Favourites

I just need to take a moment, one moment, because we are in MARCH?! MARCH.

I will give you chance to shut your mouth... however, February has been an ok month, not much to report on really. I've just been working my but off, to try and get myself back financially from the Christmas splurge. I do have some very exciting news, which is that I am treating myself to a brand new car, which is arriving on March 1st and I am so so so excited ekjnsjhbkjz :):).

Anyway, to the favourites, there are a few products this month which I have discovered and a few products from the big shop I did from Boots last month. In these blog posts I will just be doing beauty favourites, so no random favourites really, unless you really wanna know the personal random stuff.

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Base

I have been loving the dewy/glowy look recently, because my skin has got drier over winter, I just love having a  dewy base. This primer comes out a white shade and blends in beautifully. I apply it just under the eyes, forehead, cheeks and chin (pretty much everywhere) I really adds to the gorgeous glowy skin. Also, I don't really know of a product from the drugstore that is an illuminating base, most of them seem to be matte or just pore erasers.

Maybelline Baby Lips Balm & Blush (innocent peach 01)

This is a great product, if you are lazy and like multi-use products. For me, I am lazy but I am yet to try it as a blush. But it is great as a balm for the lips. I apply it with my skincare so that my lips are all nourished and ready for the lipstick application.

Garnier Ultimate Blends 1 minute treatment

This is apparently new (it says on the bottle) but I know the ultimate blends has been out for a few months now, I have tried the red tubs of shampoo and conditioner, and if I'm honest I wasn't completely blow away, it was just a normal conditioner. So I got this treatment because it was from a different range. It is for damaged to dry hair, and just nourishes the hair. I only apply this on the ends of the hair, every time I wash it, which is every other day or every 3 days. I wouldn't recommend using this every day if you do wash your hair every day. But it smells gorgeous too, its got avocado and shea butter in.

Lush Herbalism Face & Body Cleanser

I used to have this product when I was about 15, because I got recommended it from a lady in Lush, I used to have really oily and spotty skin. I remember this helped a lot. So I was browsing Lush and I picked it up again, all those years later. I wouldn't say I've got particularly spotty skin now, but I just like the fact it feels like its doing good when I apply it to my face. I would say I use it once a week and a heads up it does make the skin go green and messy. All I do to apply the product is get about a 2 pence worth amount in my hand and apply a dash of warm water, then mix it together in my hand so it turns into a liquid and apply on my face. Wash off with warm water again. You do look a bit like the hulk, but its totally worth it.

Blanx White shock toothpaste

I know I said no random favourites, but to me this had to go in. Also, its not really random its just a tiny bit random. But this toothpaste is honestly amazing, it really does whiten your teeth. I saw results from the first time I used it and so did other people. You just use it as a normal toothpaste (well I did). It's about £5-00 too, so it's not overly expensive. So if you are looking for a new whitening tooth paste, give this one a go.

Theres my favourites for the month of February, hope you had a lovely month... and bring on the sunny weather (please) !!
