November Favourites

I find it bazaar that it is now December; where has this year gone? Although, I have to admit I am so excited to now be entering this jolly month.... CHRISTMAS! But for now here are my November favourites.

B E A U T Y

1. Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara.

My mum received the sample size of this mascara when she purchased something at Boots and I sneakily stole it because I liked the look of the brush. This mascara has made my eyelashes look so voluminous and long that I can't go back to other mascaras because they just don't give me that same effect. If you're like me and like long, voluminous and semi-clumped eyelashes then this product is for you! I am also a glasses wearer and when I wear my glasses, and this mascara, I find my eyes do not shy behind the lens but instead are exaggerated to be the bold brown eyes they should be. Furthermore, even though I love the effect this mascara gives to my eyelashes, it looks great paired together with other mascaras; when I have a special event to go to this mascara and the Rimmel 'Scandaleyes Flex Mascara' give my eyes that special something that adds an glamours feel and look to my makeup. 

2. Barry M Matte Top Coat. 

Towards the autumnal and winter months my nails tend to sway more towards mauve and dull colours yet I find paired with a matte top coat it gives them that bit of life they lack. There is just something about having matte nails that makes them perfect for winter due to that added texture.

3. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Glam Plum Fulham 470'.

It's no secret that the colder months are perfect for darker lips because they just match the season and this month I have been loving this shade. I find that this product is can be built on, so when I wear it during the day I tend to just swipe one layer across my bottom lip and then smudge my lips together to transfer the product. This is perfect for when I go to college as it means it doesn't look to harsh or daring but instead just right to show my appreciation for the season. However, when going out I tend to swipe the product on my top and bottom lip as it gives my look that special feel. This product is very pigmented and the lasting power is impressive; I will defiantly be look into buying more of these for all seasons to come!

4. Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo 'Pink Gold 65'.

I love these little pots, there like little pots of gold and joy! They are so easy to apply and they last for absolutely ages; perfect for those who are starting out with make up or just have no time in the morning for the who eyeshadow shebang. This colour isn't a dark colour, which kind of contradicts with my last product, yet it is great for theses autumnal months. It's light colour makes your eyes look brighter as if you have just glanced at snow and it's added shimmer makes it all that bit more festive. Although I must say I will be using this product in the other months too because I just love the finish it gives on my eyelids; classic and classy so you can dress it up or dress it down.

1. St. Ives Apricot Scrub ‘Invigorating’

I have been using this scrub for the month and I have noticed a major change in my skin; it is more smooth and nourished. I assume it is down to this product as I haven’t changed anything else in my skin care regime so props to you St. Ives. This scrub exfoliates your skin in gentle yet effective way in which is suitable for everyday use and for those with sensitive skin. I also find that when using this product my make up goes on a lot smoother and looks more radiant.

2. Soap and Glory ‘The Daily Smooth’ Body Lotion

I am a massive fan of Soap and Glory products and I feel like every time I try something new from their range I immediately claim it as my favourite; this time round it is this body lotion. The smell is very warming and cosy feeling which is just what I want for the colder seasons, it is also quite subtle so I don’t feel like I’m being drench in the scent. On the topic of being drench in lotion; this lotion doesn’t feel sticky nor does it feel as if it will never absorb into your skin. It is easy to rub in and you immediately feel the moisture goodness benefiting your skin.

1. Van Slip Ons 

I picked these up in the office sale for £28 as I was on the hunt for some ‘trainer’ like shoes in which would be great for college. I stubbled across these and immediately fell in love. I’m not much of a Van girl my self I’m more of a Converse girl, so find these pair of vans and love them was a bit surprising for me. I love the causal vibe it gives to any of my outfits which is perfect for when dressing to go to college. However during the first few times of wearing these they did hurt my ankle a lot, well only one of them did, but once I started to break them in they we comfortable. So comfortable I decided to wear them on for my first driving lesson instead of my converse!

I hope you enjoyed read what I’ve been loving this November, I would love to hear what you’ve been loving in the comments bellow!

Until next time,

Jenn
