September Beauty Favourites

Monday, September 29, 2014
In contrast to last months favourites (here) I don't have that many this time, although I can already tell that my October favourites is going to be a very long post as I have discovered so many amazing products over the past week! My September beauty favourites is a good mixture of fragrance, haircare, makeup and body products. 

Makeup + Tools: My first beauty favourite for September is a cream highlighter by Kryolan for Glossybox that I received as part of my August Glossbox (I think) and it is so gorgeous, it makes the skin look so glowing and fresh without looking like a glittery mess! Next up are a couple of old favourites, the Ectools mini brushes from the 'fresh and flawless' set that I bought last January from the sales. Ecotools make fantastic brushes, I have been using them for years! My last makeup favourite is the Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in the shade 'rhubarb' which is a gorgeous berry shade, perfect for this time of the year. It is also fairly matte which I love, it doesn't have any sheen really but it is still moisturising and smoothing - genius! I have a full post on Burt's Bees lip products, here.

Haircare: I have two hair product favourites this month, they are the Bumble and Bumble Surf shampoo and conditioner, I was sent these to review and I have genuinely fallen in love with them. Not only is the packaging great but the products work so well. They don't weigh  my hair down but they are still nourishing and effective! I would purchase both in the future. 

Bodycare: One body care favourite is The Body Shop brazil nut body butter which I have been using on and off for a few months. I have been using it after my holiday in August to help with sunburn or now in the autumn for dryness, it is my favourite body butter from The Body Shop! When I don't use it I can definitely see and feel a difference in my skin. 

Fragrance: Onto my fragrance favourite which is the amazingly gorgeous Burberry Body EDP which I received for my 21st birthday last year and I have been trying to use it sparingly as I don't want it to run out. It is a warm, sexy fragrance that is perfect for this time of the year! I can't stop using it!

I forgot to photograph two of my favourites - the Johnson's Baby Oil which I have been using for shaving and since using it my skin has been super smooth and I haven't had any cuts from my razors! My last September beauty favourite is the Boots Mango and Orange Blossom Hand Wash which smells divine, it doesn't irritate the eczema on my hand (99% of the time), it doesn't dry out my skin and one pump dispenses the perfect amount of product! 

There are my beauty favourite for September! What products have you been loving this month? 

I'm now 20, which means...a birthday haul (of sorts)

Friday, August 17, 2012
I turned 20 years of age on the 15th August (I know, I'm getting old!). I received some beauty products, some chocolates (not good as I'm going on holiday on the 18th but I have remained strong and I haven't stuffed my face with chocolate...yet!). I had some family round on my birthday and I received my presents (and money!) but everything is really chaotic because of the holiday so it didn't really feel like a birthday. Also on my birthday the heavens opened and it rained really heavily for most of the day! Any way here are some of the things I received for my birthday!
The first thing I opened is a perfume from Burberry - Burberry Body, which is the latest Burberry fragrance I believe. I wanted this fragrance since it was released late last year and it hasn't disappointed. Firstly, the packaging is gorgeous, really luxurious, heavy and expensive!
The fragrance is just gorgeous! It is warm, feminine and sexy but it still remains light and very wearable. I would wear this during the day or night and it is just a divine scent. Also even though it is expensive, it is 85ml and the packaging is amazing (and really quite heavy). 
I received another fragrance (I already had a lot of perfume anyway, so I could now open a fragrance shop!). I have never tried a Diesel fragrance before but it is surprising gorgeous. It is not as nice as the Burberry perfume, as you would expect but it is nice and floral/musky. I don't really like the packaging as to me it is a little bit tacky but overall it is a nice fragrance. 
I have already proclaimed my love for this candle in a previous post (link here for my full review). So I wont go on too much about this candle but it is a divine scent and everyone who has smelt the candle loves it too. The candle smells amazing, the scent travels all around the house (more or less) and the scent is strong too. Overall, an fantastic candle and definitely worth the money!
I also received some little bits of things such as a Liz Earle Botanical Shine haircare duo, a Sanctuary Spa Intensive Shine Hair Mask and a really cute little notebook which says 'Keep Calm and Shop' on the front - perfect for me! 

The Liz Earle shampoo and conditioner smell amazing and I cannot wait to try the shampoo/conditioner and I also can't wait to try the Sanctuary Spa hair butter too! Overall, quite a productive birthday!
