February Favourites

I can't believe it's the the beginning of March already, it just seems like a couple of weeks ago that it was Christmas! This month has been full of nice things, trips away, baking, and going out with friends, but also a lot of work as well! Here are my (mainly beauty) favourites for the month of February for all you lovely people. 

 Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub / Boots

This has won countless awards and is the favourite of many a blogger, including me. It smells DELICOUS and does such a good job that I would never consider anything else. I haven't met anyone that doesn't like the new maple fragrance either. 

Micabella Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Terra Cotta

I am not a huge fan of mineral make-up, but this blush that I received in my February Glossybox is lovely. It contains very few ingredients, which is great for my sensitive skin, and the colour is beautiful, a coral-peach that will be perfect come summer. I don't wear blush a lot, but I did reach for this quite a few times this month. The top swatch on my hand in this photo is it lightly dusted on with my finger.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

This has no faults in my eyes. A stain and balm combined in a 'your lips but better' shade, basically perfection in a tube, I have been wearing this every day without fail.

 Milk_shake Conditioning Whipped Cream

Like, the Soap and Glory scrub, this is another product that I love for it's smell. This smells exactly like whipped cream and you apply it through a squirty cream nozzle - amazing for your inner child! This is great for my ombred hair, and always leaves my hair smooth and soft, I can't wait to try more of milk_shake's products!

 Docteur Renaud Raspberry Soft Cream

Yet another product that smells absolutely divine. I also got this in my February glossybox, and it left my skin so soft and hydrated, AND smelling lovely. I couldn't ask more from a day moisturiser, and will definitely be purchasing this in full size when my other moisturisers run out.

Captain America - The First Avenger

Thanks to my friend Isis, I now have a slight (or more likely, major) obsession with the Marvel Avenger films, and I haven't even watched all of them yet. After watching Thor and then Iron Man one after the other I watched this, which is probably my favourite so far (though I really liked Chris Hemsworth in Thor too.) I don't know why, but I'm loving these films.

The Simple Things magazine

I love this lifestyle magazine so much it hurts. Okay that might be a bit of an exaggeration but I do love this magazine, with it's gorgeous photography and beautiful articles on everything under the sun. There book recommendations are always great as well. 

I hope you enjoyed this favourites post, would you like this to become a regular feature? What have been your favourites in February? I hope you're all having a lovely Saturday, I'm going off to see Les Mis for the second time because I totally have a life.

Love

October Glossybox

If any of you have receive a Glossybox every month like I do, you'll surely know the feelings of anticipation and excitement that come hand in hand with having a subscription. 
For those of you who don't know, Glossybox is a box you receive each month filled with four or five high end beauty products, which could fall into the area's of make-up, hair, skincare, and body care.

I started subscribing to Glossybox in July and there's no looking back now, i love unpacking it each month!

I thought i'd share the products i received in this months glossybox, let me know if you'd like this to become a regular feature...

The first item I received was the Anatomicals pink grapefruit body scrum. Although this smells divine, it's not a great exfoliator, which to be fair is only expected for an inexpensive scrub. 

The second item I received was the Derma Clean Start 3 Step Day and Night Kit, which included a Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser. These are all well known products, which i have never tried, so i was excited to use them. However in my opinion the didn't produce miracles and didn't really affect my skin.

The next product i received in my box was the Skinetica Anti-Blemish Solution, which i actually haven't used yet, however it sounds promising and i will update you if it's a miracle product.

The final prouct I received in this month's glossybox was the Yves Rocher moisturising cream lipstick in rouge, which, hence the name, is a gorgeous bright red shade. This is my favourite product of the box by far, it has a lovely formula and the best staying power of all my over lipsticks put together. However, I will have to buy some other shades, as i am definitely not brave enough to wear this red shade every day!

So, what do you think of the idea of glossybox? If you do receive a glossybox what did you think of your months box? Comments are always appreciated!
