I know that I only did a favourites post back in August but I've been enjoying new, things since then which I feel is worth mentioning in a post, even though it is only a very small amount. Some of these things definitely have come from getting into the Autumn/Winter season and others I've just really enjoyed using. So, let me get straight into it.


First things first. Something that instantly came to mind was the Herbal Essences Strawberry & Sweet Mint Shampoo and Conditioner, which is part of their bio:renew range. Let me just say that this smells incredible! Such a powerful, gorgeous fruity scent. What I like is that the shampoo is clear and really don't feel like I need much for it to get all into my hair. Although my hair is short, it's quite thick so I would usually need a good handful of shampoo but with this, I notice that I don't need as much. With the conditioner, it's pretty standard but again, it's got that powerful scent and don't need much of it to get around to cleaning all of my hair. Once my hair is all dried, it feels so soft, smooth and it doesn't seem to tangle as much, which I'm all for. I can definitely see myself using this over and over again for some time. Will be re-purchasing for sure.


Next in my favourites is this Boots Tee Tree & Witch Hazel, with active Charcoal Facial Scrub. My skin has been a teeny bit of a problem recently (don't know to put it down to hormones or the amount of rubbish I've been eating, likely to be the latter) and so I wanted to find something that was hopefully going to treat it well. I love the smell of tea tree and I've used masks/scrubs that contained Charcoal so thought maybe the two together would do my skin some good. It's a simple case of applying a small amount to a wet face and rub gently, then rinse well. I instantly feel my skin feeling smooth as the scrub has worked it's way into my pores and remove all the nasty, dead skin. It doesn't say how often you should use this but I've done it atleast twice a week and it's been helping. I've just got to keep it up. I love this scrub and likely that I would buy it again.


The last thing that I've been enjoying is the Zoella Beauty Bake My Day mini body mist. I've recently started using my Hungry Hands hand cream again and it suddenly made me want the body mist. It then dawned on me that I should have bought it last year because it won't be out this year. However, when I saw that she had released a set of mini mists which contained Bake My Day, I really wanted to get it. Although it means that it contains three others, I would have only tried one (Gelat'eau) so it means that I had a good opportunity to try the others. I really wished I had bought the bigger one last year but the mini one is ideal if you want to put it in a small bag for a night out or even in your general handbag. That aside, I really love the scent, definitely the scent for this Christmas season.

So, although small, these are my favourites of November. Is there anything that you've tried before or would want to try?

I've not done a favourites post since October last year and the reason is because I either don't manage to get a post up in time or because I don't have things to talk about. BUT, I've managed to get ahead of myself this time and I have myself products to talk about before it's too far into the next month. Although it's not many things, I'm doing a post of them anyway.


So, this month my skin has been a little outrageous, where in the middle of the month, I broke out and me being me, picked some of the spots, which then turn into nasty scabs (naughty!) It wasn't cute at all! So I gave myself a little smack on the hand and went to seek what could help my skin recover. I actually purchased this a little while ago based on some other bloggers talking about it but used it only a few times then just put it away with the rest of my skincare things and it got a little lost. I picked this little beauty up and it's helped massively. This is the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil. It contains lots of different oils, including reship and sweet almond oil, which smells really good and kind of helped with my sinuses a little. It only took about 2 days for the worse to go and then when I remembered to put it on at night before I go to bed, it looked so different in the morning that I could tell it did something in the night. I think you could use any kind of skin therapy oil if you need to help with some break outs but this is just the one I grabbed to see what it would do. There's probably better products out there that could have done the job but this worked for me. Definite miracle worker. Thanks Palmers!


Moving on to my next favourite. Something that I have mentioned in a favourites before (I've only done two so probably not hard to find) but I've been loving again is Green/Fruit tea. I've not had this for a long time and when I started drinking it again, I wondered why I even let myself stop. A flavour that I love in particular is the Apple and Pear one from Twinings. It's my absolute favourite one to drink and I've also been having Mango and Strawberry, which is also enjoyable to drink. I'm glad I've brought this back into my life and want to start exploring lots of new flavours in the near future so you may see another feature of Green/Fruit tea in another favourites post (if I get round to doing another one).


Onto the smelly items of my August favourites. I've been looooooving the Imperial Leather Cherry Bakewell shower cream. The smell is just... lush. This is probably the only shower gel I've used this month and already got through a bottle of it. When you lather and massage it onto the skin (which, might I add is suitable for all skin types), it foams up, which is super soft on the skin and leaves it smelling sweet. Luckily, not too overpowering that somebody may want to eat you. It's probably a smell that you either like or don't like but I definitely do.


My last favourite of the month is the Palmer's Moisture Rich Shampoo and Restoring Conditioner. Like other Palmers products, it contains it contains their coco butter formula, with added Vitamin E. Alongside this, they both contain peppermint oil which, for the shampoo, refreshes and stimulates your scalp and with the conditioner, it nourishes scalp and hair. So these two together will provide healthy hair growth and leaves your hair silky soft, which sounds like a great combo. I personally think it smells good although my boyfriend has stated a few times that my hair smells like vomit (thanks dear) and I have no idea why. Again, it's something I've used pretty much all throughout August and just about to run out now so I'm either going to buy more or maybe see what else is new on the market.

So that's my favourites for the past month. Is there anything we've both enjoyed? Or anything you recommend I use in future months?

Another month has passed, another month we're closer to the end of 2016. Where has this year gone?! Only feels like yesterday that I was cheering in a new year and I'm about to do it again so soon. But, not dwelling on it too much, October is a great month. I love it! I love that the leaves go all orange and crispy. I love that the days get colder. I love that I can start bringing out my hats and jumpers again. I just love it.
On the topic of love, I thought that I would share the things that I have enjoying during the month of October.


First up, it's the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask. As much as I do enjoy how it gets colder (I can't handle the heat well), I do find that it makes my skin awfully dry. So I've been using these masks about once a week just to keep it hydrated. I've been seeing these in Boots and Superdrug for only 99p, which is a really good, affordable price. I tend to have one just before going to bed, when I'm reading my book.


This moves me on nicely to the next favourite and it's the book The Girl on the Train. I'm not much for reading books, and never really have been but earlier in the month, I went and saw the film with some friends. I had heard that the book was pretty good but I went based on the trailer. I found the film really good and captivating and I actually, for once, wanted to read the book, to see how it compares. So far, it's been an enjoyable read, and just as good as the film.


My next monthly favourite has been the Zoella Hungry Hands, the hand cream from her latest collection from her beauty range. I've not bought anything from Zoella before, not because I've had no interest, I just felt like my time hasn't come yet, and that there will be something right up my alley one day. When she released her video talking about her new range, this one spoke out to me the most. I purchased Hungry Hands and immediately fell in love with the product. The packaging and the smell is very pleasing and when applying this to my hands, it leaves them feeling hydrated and smell absolutely divine. I know this is going to last me a long time, as a small amount goes a really long way but I'm gutted to know that it's only going to be out for Christmas, so I may just have to buy one or two to enjoy it for a longer period of time. This product just screams Autumn and I love it!


Last but not least, I have been enjoying a new hot beverage, Chai Latte Vanilla. This is a very autumnal drink and so lovely. It's definitely one of those 'you either love it or you hate it' drinks but the blend of spices and vanilla makes a winter warmer, especially when I'm in the office and in need of a little pick me up. If you're a fan of Chai or Pumpkin Spice Latte, then I think you'll enjoy this too.

There you have it, that was my October favourites. Are any of these your favourites too? Do you recommend any products for November? Leave your comments below.

I cannot believe that February has already ended. It went by far too quickly for my liking but what that means is, is that I can share with you my favourite products that I used during the course of the month. Let's get started.

Benefit Cosmetics | Roller Lash Mascara

Earlier in the month, I heard that Benefit were going to be bringing out a new mascara called Roller Lash (I love what they call their products). I was thinking about buying it as I've heard good things on their other mascaras but, the best thing happened! After browsing on my social media, I saw that there was a free sample of the Roller Lash mascara with Elle Magazine and from that moment on, I decided I would have to wonder to a shop to pick a copy up.

As soon as I got home, I opened all the packaging and there in my hand, was the cutest little mascara ever. I proceeded to cover my eyelashes and I was quickly impressed with the results, with the thought to myself that this is going to be something I'm going to pick up once I've finished the sample. I already have fairly long lashes anyway, but Roller Lash just helps add curl and volume and makes my eyes stand out.

I even recommended this to one of my friends and even she said it's a lovely product to use and would recommend it to any of her friends.

Lush Cosmetics | Prince Charming Shower Gel

As February is the proud owner of Valentine's Day, Lush released all their Valentine's Day products, which included the Prince Charming shower gel. After smelling it in the shop, I was in heaven, so in the basket it went, at a very fast pace. I only got the smallest size because it only seems to be me who uses them and they do go a long way. However, I actually found out that my boyfriend was sneakily using it when he'd shower. I thought I was going mad, thinking I was using more than I thought when in actual fact, he wanted to smell like marshmallows and pomegranate juice. But he also said that it doesn't irritate his skin, which is a plus! Might have to get him some of his own Lush products.

To be fair to him, the ingredients of this shower gel work together so well, and makes the bathroom smell amazing. Seeing as it was a favourite for not only me, but my boyfriend, I took the plunge and got a bigger bottle. I worried as it was after Valentine's Day when I wanted to get one, thinking they wouldn't have any left but I was in luck. Hopefully we can make it last a while, but I will definitely pick this up next year if they bring it out again.

The Body Shop | Moringa Eau De Toilette

I got this little gem as part of a gift set that I got for Christmas and although I didn't really use it to start with, I've taken a real shine to it this month. I've found that you don't have to spray too much on yourself to make it noticeable as it's quite strong and because of it's diddy size, it can easily be put into a small bag so you can take it with you on a night out, or even a meal out with friends. This is the first Body Shop fragrance that I own and would be keen to take a trip to Body Shop to check out what else they have.

Soap & Glory | Hand Maid Hand Cleansing Gel

Now, this is something else! I seem to be a bit late on the band wagon with this, but better late than never. My friend recommended this to me a while back, but didn't buy it until recently and I'm super glad I did. As you can see, I've used pretty much all of the bottle so I wish they could make a bigger version, or even make it into a hand wash! YES! I'm onto something. It smells so fruity and fresh and keeps my hands feeling clean. I have this sat on my desk at work but it can easily pop in your bag, but I'd be cautious incase it leaks and you don't want the contents being all sticky, although, it would smell nice though! Overall, I would recommend this to anyone and would happily purchase it again.

Twinings | Cherry Bakewell Green Tea


I've been a lover of green tea for a while now and I'm not afraid at trying new flavours. During the month, I saw that Twinings bought out a new flavour called Cherry Bakewell and OH MY GOSH, this tea is AMAZING! My love for cherry bakewells has just gone up to a new level. It tastes like it smells and I enjoy drinking this at home and work, as it keeps me away from carbonated, sweet drinks. I've only had one favourite prior to this, but this will be joining the leader of the pack.

And there you have it! Those were my February favourites. What have you been loving? Was there anything that we both liked? What's been your experiences on my picks?
