January favourites!

Hiya!

I'm gonna do a post that is very typical of bloggers these days. But so what? This is gonna be a combined favourites of December and January. I was planning to do this last month as well but it got super busy towards the end of the month and I had so many trips and other things I wanted to blog about like NYE and my trip to Brighton that this got pushed to the side. So expect a super long post!

My first favourite is the VO5 plump it up spray. This is an amplifying lotion that you spray in your hair and you get volume and thickness with natural bounce. I LOVE  this product! I have been using this product for a while and I can really see a difference after I've dried my hair now. Before my hair was just flat with no life or bounce but now my hair looks fun and healthy. As well as that it also has added heat defence, which is the reason I bought it since I had run out of my previous heat defence. Knowing that my hair is being protected as well is making the product even better! I have never stuck to once spray before but now I will never go back to any other!

I am also loving the expert face brush by real techniques. I love all of real techniques and have a few other brushes. I thought I would add this brush to my collection and since I have brought it I have barely stopped using it! The cover it gives is amazing! The brushes are all synthetic and are really soft. They are also all colour coded so you know which area you use each brush for. I really hope to extend my collection even more soon!

Another real techniques brush I am loving is the buffing brush. I bought this a while ago and have used it while my expert face brush was drying after I gave it a deep clean. It is again so soft and gives a lighter coverage than the expert face brush. All of these brushes are also free standing which helps prevent messy tables! With the starter eye kit and the core collection you also get a travel case for the brushes that can also turn into a stand. I think this is amazing as it can be easily put away in a suitcase for a holiday or can be placed somewhere when doing makeup. The case is definitely good and neat and a thing I love! I think it is safe to say that I love real techniques!

 

Another thing I love is the Rimmel London clear brow gel. I bought this last month in he hope it would keep my hairs in place. (my brows are a mess that I really need to sort out!) This is really good and I love it! Definitely something I'll buy again! You can also get it in colours so if you want a bit of colour in your brows you can do it with this. I might even buy the brown colour!

I have also been loving my new polaroid. To be exact it is a Fujifilm mini instax 8. I got this for my birthday back in December and it is really cool! The white border is really cute and you get a lot in considering how small it is. For Christmas I got an acessorie kit with it which included a cover for it with a strap. You really need a case with it to keep it protected. The strap makes it easy to carry round on holiday or on a day out wit you. This is definitely a good present for somebodies birthday or Christmas!

 

Over the last couple of weeks I have been loving the herbal essence beautiful ends shampoo. It contains pomegranates which gives its amazing smell. The colour is also nice. It leaves my hair smelling all fruity and heavenly. I have already bought 2 spare bottles!
 

 

Another thing I have loved for a while now is the Maybelline New York Rocket mascara. I have been using the waterproof one and this is the best mascara I have used for a long time! It gives really good volume and you can really layer it up! Only problem is that it is difficult to take off. However Rimmel do a waterproof makeup remover for a good price!

 

 

My final love for this month has to be the cranberry shower gel from body shop. This smells lush and is so nice to wash yourself with. It also comes in a handy size for travelling!
