January Favourties!
How has February come
round so quickly, where did January even go, i don't understand?! Honestly, i'm
glad that it's over January is a month where everyone is getting over their
post-christmas blues and starting (failing) all the new year's
resolutions. So, i thought what a way to start February with my January
favourties!
I've picked a few different
items, a mix of hair and make-up etc of what i've been loving for the past
month!
My
first favourite is the Giorgio Armani perfume, Si. I got this for christmas and i've
used it everyday since! I got the small 30ml one that came in the set with the
shower gel. I'm really bad at describing scents, but i'll try my best! OK, so
it's quite a musky scent yet it has a hint of a sweet smell (see, told you i'm
bad..) with is being quite a strong smell, you don't need a lot to make an
impact! I feel like this is my winter perfume, as it's not sweet or fruity
enough to be a spring/summer perfume, (also gives me an excuse to buy another
perfume for spring!).
Next is my born lippy body shop lip butter! My lips are always extremely dry and chapped and it's even worse in the winter, so i'm constantly trying to find a lip product that will help with it that also wont irritate my lips, it's not a fun time. BUT this product is my holy grail for the winter months and for all the other months. It has quite a thick consistency so this means that you only need a small layer, this means it'll hopefully last throughout all winter, especially for someone like me who uses lip products every 5 minutes! They do all different flavours and scents i have the mango and strawberry, but i'm only using the strawberry currently. THEY BOTH SMELL AMAZING. The strawberry also has a bit of a red colour tint to it too, so it also adds a little something to your make-up while also hydrating yo' lips! Overall, i'm in love with these lip butters and i will of course buy so many more! (More than i actually need..) 
For hair products i haven't really changed them up for a while, but there are a couple of products that i've loved this month! One of them is the VO5 plump it up, back combing spray. My hair is quite flat and it's difficult to keep the volume in my hair after washing and first doing my hair so it was extremely irritating having flat and lifeless hair after 2 hours of being out! I'd heard good reviews of this spray and it did not disappoint! Just a couple of sprays in the roots of your hair can give it a good lift and re- "omphs" it during the day! It suits well when you curl your hair and also looks great when you straighten it too, probably better when you straighten your hair since your hair is more likely to be "flat" after doing that. I highly recommend this product if you're one for wanting full and hair with body.
Another hair product that has been essential for styling my hair! Due to the fact that i dye my hair quite often and use far too much heat it causes my hair to get super bad frizz after washing my hair, even after straightening it it still remains pretty frizzy! The frizz-ease finishing creme is the best product for frizz i have ever used! Basically, after styling your hair whether it be curling, straightening, crimping etc. applying a pea sized amount of the creme afterwards gets rid of pretty much all the frizz or fly aways! I also feel that it "completes" styling my hair and gives a bit of extra body as well, so this product is no.1 for me! 
There have been a lot of make-up products this month that i've thought were my favourites, but i've narrowed it down to 3! Firstly, is the maybelline fit me power in the colour 125 nude biege. I bought this because my previous power the maybelline stay matte had run out, i'd heard some good reviews on this product so i thought i'd give it a try? I was not disappointed! This powder is my favourite from what i've used from maybelline, it has a nice finish so it doesn't make you look like you've "caked" your make-up on, because that's never a good look... The colour suits well with my face, as i'm so pale it's difficult to find a product that doesn't either make me look yellow or orange, but this one fits well! (har har FITS, get it? FIT me? oh, ok.)
Next, make-up item i've been liking is the sleek blush in the colour pixie pink! I've heard about sleek from youtubers/bloggers like zoella and tanya burr so i thought i'd give it a go as well. For some reason though, they don't sell sleek make-up in my nearest drug store, so it took me until i traveled out of my way and happened to stumble across it, so i couldn't not buy it! I'd never tried a BRIGHT blusher before so this one made me a little nervous, but this looked so nice when applied! The blush wasn't too bright and looked nice on my skin colour which made me happy since i had no idea what blush would suit my skin. Overall, love this blush!
A body product that i've loved this month (and for the past few months) is the body shop body butter, in strawberry which as you can tell is my favourite scent... I'm really bad when it comes to moisturizing my skin, i always forget and i hate waiting for the lotion to dry, but this body butter is so much nicer than any i've tried! Firstly, it smells amazing which is just a huge thing for me when it comes to buying lotions, and it also dries quickly so i'm not stood around for ages awkwardly waiting. I also like them because they come in such large "bowls" (at least that's what they look like) they last such a long time as you don't need a lot!
That's my favourites for this month! I'll try to do them every month, but i'm not making any promises because i know that i'll forget, but i will try! Hope you've enjoyed!
