December Must Haves 2018 (Skincare theme)


Hi everyone!! Moving into the new year, I like to start afresh (not that I’ve been completely successful with this so far!! Haha!) so I wanted to get better with skincare. I began thinking about this in December so I’ve slowly beginning to collect some items that I can use, starting in late December and early January. I have tried a facemask that wasn’t as successful as I might’ve hoped-eeek! Luckily, I did find one that I now swear by with my other favourites which were in my November Must Haves. Now that I’ve cleared that up, (see what I did there… or is that just me making a bad, cheesy joke?) here are some products that I found this month that worked well alongside a few extra beauty items. I can’t believe how beauty-heavy this Must Haves is!!! 


Origins Clear Improvement Face Mask

This mask, changed my whole clear-skin game. After wearing it, my skin felt glowing and (this is a bit disgusting) but it removed a whole lot of gunk from my face. I could’ve written something a tad more pleasant like… ‘unnecessary dirt’ but I wanna be real with you here! Oh my word, I literally can’t explain how much I’m laughing whilst writing this! ‘Unnecessary dirt’!?!?!? Haha!!! Anyway, you get the point, it works to an incredible standard!



Flutter Hand Cream


1)    Does this smell amazing?

2)    Or what?

As well as it smelling great, it has kept my hands from going dry! This Hand Cream is from Flutter- which is a brand I’d never heard of before but, as you can probably tell from this post and future mentions to the brand, I am loving its cute style and great products!






When something's packaging is as cute as this product's, it’s very hard not to point it out! In addition, this shower gel is a mini size, therefore can be taken travelling, easily packed into small spaces. Can we just mention its smell too? I can’t describe how good this smells- you will just have to buy it!


Betty Pretty Kissable Pink Lipgloss

I have never been a big fan of lipglosses as I always think of them as the sticky, bright pink products that we used to get as kids. However, this particular item changed my mind on this front because it looks gorgeous. Not only have I fallen in love with lipglosses but also this brand- Betty! It just sits on your lips so lightly as if it isn't there and creates a subtle, shiny look which is enough to convert a girl to the 'pink, sticky' substances!!





Betty Heavenly Scent Body Mist


Like I mentioned above, Betty products are now in my range of brands that I love, not only did I find the lipgloss interest me, but the body spray, too!! As the name suggests, it happens to have a 'Heavenly Scent' which I can stop spraying everywhere. The only thing I would complain about, though is its size- wishing it was a little bit bigger!






Flutter Lip Balm


Yes. There is not one, but two products from Flutter!! I just wanted to quickly share this lip balm because of its size- it's perfect for taking everywhere and that is just what I have been doing this month not only because of this but because it smells great, too! You may have noticed smell is a big factor for me to like a product, too! Hah!


For a while now, I've been shipping an old, clunky mirror between my bedroom and the hallway for quite a while to do my makeup in front of the window for natural lighting. For Christmas, I was given this mirror and I love it so much and I am so so so so grateful! It has proved so useful to just be able to keep it in one place rather than having to carry it back and forth and it looks so nice within my actual bedroom!


Beauty Blending Sponges


In this photo, for whatever reason, a huge shadow appeared and made the sponge look really manky but in actual fact, this one hasn't been used yet! It came in a pack of four from Tescos and it has changed my makeup game, meaning my foundation looks SUPER natural and not cakey which is perfect! I don't think I will be using a makeup brush again for a while...


That is my December issue- my last Must Haves in 2018! I'm pretty sure 2018 ran out from under my feet before I had even realised how late in the year it was!

January Must Haves 2019

How has your new year been so far? I'm pretty sure I slept through January as I honestly have no idea where it went. This month the weather started gloomy, but then right at the end the sun began to shine a bit longer and light snow not only filled the sky but also covered the paths roads and grass to create many photography opportunities. February is going to be a very exciting month for me and I can't wait to share bits of it with you!  One of my new year's resolutions was to learn more about skincare and improve my routine and my skin itself so as you could tell from my December Must Haves , I had begun a collection of products but January really boosted this and now I have a few more items to share with you. Clearasil and Simple play a big part in this post only because I love both brands so much and they work wonders for my skin! P.s. the best product is the last one so keep reading to find out what it is! Simple Protecting Light Moisturiser In winter I do

September Must Haves

Image
Hey! Yes, I did have a little break- please excuse me! I was very busy working on some very exciting posts to keep you up-to-date with my autumnal antics! 😂 As you might already know, autumn just happens to be my favourite season because of the colours and just the general atmosphere so I was extremely excited to get to work on these posts!  Can we just speak about how it is the end of September already!? It feels like the start was only last week! What did you guys manage to jam-pack into September? This month has been great for collecting stuff to go in my Must-Haves because it has been my birthday! Enjoy! 1. Morphe 350 Nature Glow Palette This has some beautiful earthy colours for autumn; my favourites are the darker browns and slightly orangey tones. All colours are extremely blendable and have great pigmentation- it caught me off guard because I'm used to my palette without much, so I put quite a lot on and it looked as if I'd been punched in the face 😂. I

Hi everybody!!! I am so excited for you guys to see this post because I'm so proud of it! Now, I think it's about the right time to share with you what's in my main makeup bag at the moment. All the items that are shown here, I think, have been featured in previous posts but that was always going to happen anyway because all the items in my makeup bag are ones which I love so I would've recommended them before to you guys! If you do enjoy this, please remember to share with friends!!!
