December Favorites

This is never really a post that I ever considered making when I set up this blog but I really enjoy watching monthly favorite videos on youtube and there have been a few things that I have been slightly obsessed with this month and I am just dying to share them with people other than my close friends, who are sick to death of hearing about them now, so I decided to make a little blog post about it didn't I?

There are a few beauty bits and pieces that I have been using continually this month, the first being the Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour pallet from Boots. I have been after a really good contour kit for a while now and this one was a great little discovery as I didn't want to be forking out a lot for one as I was unsure as to how much I would use it. Turns out this little £5.99 pallet has become a firm staple in my makeup routine now as it is very easy to use. 

After purchasing the Revlon lipstick on Black Cherry back in September it has, again, become part of my everyday makeup. It is a perfect dark purple shade on the lips and can be put on strong or just dabbed into the lips for a hint of colour which is brilliant for things like going to work when you don't want such a strong lip. 

 I was lucky enough to get a set of the Real Techniques brushes as a gift this month and ever since I have used them every single time I have applied makeup. They are simply fabulous. I've been a firm lover of this brand of brushes for a while now but this set just take them to a whole new level.

There are also a few skincare/pamper products that I have been loving this month, the first being the Lush bath bomb Cinders. It is my all time favorite lush product and is unfortunately one of their winter collection so this is the only time of the year that I can get this beauty so I obviously take every chance to stock up.

Another Lush product had made it up there this month and that is the King Of Skin body butter bar. It took me a while to get to grips with this little thing but oh my the smell is just amazing. The product itself is just divine and leaves your skin so soft too. 

Being a firm tea lover, after hearing that Twinings had a mint tea out that tasted like mint sweets I just needed to try it out, and as it turns out I now have a new favorite tea. Intensely Buttermint by Twinings is just perfect for when you are craving something sweet or for after a big meal.

And what is winter without candles? The Yankee Candle Christmas candles this year have just been brilliant, especially Holiday Baking which is one of the ones that you can get in asda. It smells like cinnamon, what more can I say. 

And my favorite discovery of the month, and no doubt something that literally everyone has been watching for years is Grey's Anatomy. My friend has been watching it for a while now and I finally caved and watched a few episodes. Next thing you know and I had ordered the first 4 seasons off amazon. It's just brilliant and I have been hooked for weeks now.
