December Beauty Favourites



1/ B.PURE MICELLAR WATER
This micellar water is amazing, gently removing eye makeup with ease which is great for delicate skin. The price tag is nice too.
Superdrug £4.99

2/ NV COLOUR COSMETICS LIPSTICK
This is a flattering everyday red with a long-lasting moisturising formula and nifty magnetic lid so you don't lose it, natch.
Nv Colour Cosmetics £6 

3/ BOBBI BROWN GEL LINER
I've worn this for 10 years and although I've flirted with other eyeliners none come close to the long-lasting jet black goodness of this. A cult classic.
John Lewis £16

4/ SEPHORA SOFTENING FACIAL MIST
The air con in my office managed to dry out even my super-oily skin so a moisturising facial mist is a must for hydrating halfway through the day.
Sephora £12

5/ CHARLOTTE TILSBURY FULL FAT LASHES
This mascara by Kate Moss's makeup artist is the most natural one I've tried - it still lengthens and thickens but you could just get away with pretending those were the lashes you were born with.
Selfridges £22

6/ ILLAMASQUA SKIN BASE
A lovely light base which I mix with moisturiser for a bit of a winter tan - I wear shade 13.
ASOS £27

7/ RIMMEL EYEBROW PENCIL
My desert island item - I could not live without this brow pencil (shade brown/black), it's cheap as chips and the prefect formula and application.
Superdrug £2.99

8/  BOURJOIS ROSE DOR BLUSH
This smells fab and gives your cheeks a rosy glow with a subtle shimmer - it looks beautiful on mixed-race or asian skin.
ASOS £7.99

GLITTER LIPS Lip Glitter in Cherry Pie

This is one product you definitely need on your Christmas list


This is a lip product that I randomly saw on Twitter and I just HAD to try it - it looked amazing. I've long been a fan of a glittery lip, however, they are notoriously hard to achieve. Also glitter is the most annoying substance known to man - it just gets everywhere... or so I thought.

Glitter Lips promises to give you long-lasting, non-messy and super glittery lips. Which is a huge claim but I can contest that it's true. To apply you simply paint on a kind of glossy glue, then press on an ultra fine glitter - I was very dubious at first but as if by magic the glitter didn't stick to my face at all. Just the glue on my lips. The whole application took about 1 minute and the photos here are of my very first attempt - which I think is pretty good.

I also, in the name of research, had a cup of tea and a vigourus rub of my lips and the glitter stayed put. I can't believe it.

The photos don't really do the Glitter Lips justice  they are sooooooooooooooooo sparkly and pretty and I will 100% be rocking these to my Christmas party.

Grab yours HERE - I am literally in love with this product (and I haven't been paid to say this, I really do love it, although the Glitter Lips were kindly gifted to me.)


Price: £12.50

Packaging: Doesn't do the product justice

Coverage: Excellent

Overall review: 9/10 The product is so unique and really works but the packaging could be improved
