January Beauty Favourites 2016

Monthly favourites are here once more ... it feels like forever since I've talked about what I've been loving.... in fact it feels like forever since I actually sat down, relaxed and wrote a proper blog post!
I've split my favourites this month into two post - beauty and non-beauty. First and foremost of course, it's the beauty bits.

Liz Earle's Skin Tonic has shot straight back into my skincare routine this month. Hands down my favourite toner/general face refresher this always clears my skin up and keeps it feeling super clean post cleansing.
I use it twice daily, once before I pop my make-up on in the morning and once in the evening before bed, it is THE best!

Earlier this month I decided to have a huge beauty clearout - there's only so many products one person needs and my over-flowing storage had become enough. So it was goodbye to bags full of unneeded bits and bobs and hello to those few things I had totally forgotten about!
This Lancome Juicy Tube was one of them.
Caramel Gospel is the most gorgeous shimmery brown nude - I've been pairing it with a No7 lip liner to create a gorgeous opaque nude daily - such an easy look and it smells SO good, just like toffee!

Bee Good's Hydrate, Smooth & Prime serum*  is something I started using back at the end of last year. Since then it's slotted itself in nicely with my other daily essentials giving me a lovely fresh base to start with every morning. It's said to target to signs of ageing.... which I definitely need... fingers crossed it's working!

Now onto a product that I completely used up this month - which in my life is a BIG deal! I Had to repurchase my Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer this week as quite frankly, I couldn't live without it.  This creamy light concealer is perfect for hiding my horrible bags. I love using this under and around my eyes and round my nose, it definitely helps on the 'radiance' side too! (I use the shade Ivory.)

Last but not least.... yes only 5 products this month .... we have my favourite perfume. 
I wrote about Thierry Mugler Angel a couple of weeks ago and it's still tip top of my most favourite things to use every day! I only have the 15ml but can tell it's going to last for month I'm so, so impressed with it!

Product Of The Week #6

Finally another make-up product has made it into my product of the week!

Now, as you may know, I've been trying to put myself on a spending ban so I have been delving into my current make-up collection and using alot more of the stuff I already own (that would be sensible wouldn't it!)

As I've run out of my favourite everyday mascara (Maxfactor Masterpiece Max) and forking out £10 for a new one is a no-no at the moment, I have been going through that mascara draw I normally ignore and using up all those I have lying around!

The mascara that I have been using non-stop this past week is the Lancome Hypnose Star which is actually a miniature I bought in a gift set back at Christmas time. (you may remember the review!)

I'm so bad for buying things and forgetting to use them and I am totally guilty for forgetting about these miniature mascaras!

I spotted this one and thought I'd give it a go and add it into my daily routine!
Now... I am so happy I did! This mascara is awesome! It has a funky brush which is actually flat not round and it gets thinner towards the end which helps gets all those little lashes in the corners!

I have really short, stumpy rubbish lashes (waaaa for me :( ) so anything that helps lengthen my lashes is a good good friend - this does the trick perfectly!
Another full sized product I want to invest in - I'd better try and make this little one last for now!

Xmas Gift Guide : Lancome Hypnose Volumising Black Mascara Wardrobe Set

It's another Christmas Guide Gift post! It's just over a couple of weeks until the big day and if you're anything like me you're still rushing round trying to finish of your shopping!
Another one for the ladies today and it is this gorgeous mascara gift set from Lancome.

This is the Lancome Hypnose Volumising Black Mascara Wardrobe Set. A fabulous mascara set exclusively to Boots and boots.com.
This particular gift stood out to me mainly because of the price.
The set consists of  4 products. 1 full sized mascara and 3 mini mascaras - all for just £22 (worth £44) and seeing as the usual price for the Hypnose mascara on it's own is £22 , it is a total steal!

The products you receive in this set are : 

Hypnose - Custom-Wear Volume Mascara 6.5ml

Hypnose Star - Show-Stopping Eyes Ultra Glam Mascara 2ml

Hypnose Doll Eyes - Doll Lash Effect Wide-Eye Look Mascara 2ml

Hypnose Drama - Instant Full Body Volume Mascara 2ml

Not only do you get a high quality full-sized mascara to add to your day-to-day make-up routine you also get 3 great minis to try and test - a fantastic way to find a new favourite!

Try out all 4 mascaras without a silly price tag - that way you can then re-purchase your favourite in full-size knowing that you will love love love it!

I cannot wait to start using this set and mixing up my mascaras each day - all the brushes look so different, I'm looking forward to seeing all the different effects and looks I can create aswell as hopefully finding a new holy grail mascara!

Have any of your tried any of these mascaras before? I always get excited about trying out new high-end make-up.
