November Favourites!
Hey guys! I know it's already quite far through December and i'm a little bit behind on this post, but better late than never!
Enjoy!
Firstly, probably my favourite of all of the favourites, the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette!
I've been wanting an Urban Decay palette for a long long time now and the one i thought i would get the most use out of was the Naked 3, and i am most certainly getting use out of it! I use it pretty much everyday, i mix using the Naked 3 and the Naked basics palette that i reviewed in another post (http://aprilnicoleclark.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/brown-smoky-neutral-eye-look-with-urban.html).
The colours are mostly baby pinks, few neutral browns and also a mix between shimmers and matte shades. They're super pigmented and apply beautifully on the lid, the come with four tester primers that will last a long time as you barely need any to make a big difference! You get a brush with it as well which is double ended, one of the lid and one which i've been using for the crease and blending it out, and that's also really good too!
I know these aren't the cheapest of palettes at £37, BUT if you're willing to splurge on yourself or possibly a christmas present, i'd definitely suggest purchasing it!
Next, is something that has been essential for me in the winter months and that is my woolly hat! We've been hit with a horrid cold spell recently in the UK being only one or two degrees celsius, i've been wearing it nearly everyday!
I bought this from Tesco and it was only £8 and it was exactly the same as the Topshop one for £14 (i love Topshop, but i do enjoy saving money too!)
It's super cosy and keeps my head super warm, and with it being grey it goes with all my darker winter clothing.
My next favourite is another make-up product and it's the Rimmel Lasting Nude foundation.
I'd read some pretty good reviews on this and i'm always on the look out for a new drug store foundations to try out as well. I wasn't disappointed with this one!
It's not too drying and gives a fresh face and does last you all day! They do a specific nude set for people with pasty white skin, like me(!), so that's a bonus as the colour suits me perfectly. It's a medium coverage foundation and it is rather thick, so if you're only wanting a light coverage this might not be the best for you.
This foundation applies really well with the particular brush i'm using which is the Real Techniques expert face brush.
At £7.99 it's around about the same price as most drug store foundations these days and it's not too expensive and it will last you a long time as you don't need a huge amount each time!

My next favourite is a Lush hair product that i've been trying out for the past month, their Roots hair mask! Sadly, i have quite damaged hair due to a lot of heat usage and i dye my hair as well so i'm always trying to find things to revive my hair, i then came across this on my last visit to Edinburgh.
As it's called Roots you can probably guess what it does, but it thickens, revives fine and damaged hair and it makes your hair feel (excuse the pun) LUSH.
I use it every time i wash my hair. which is every other day, as you need to wash it out afterwards. You section your hair and rub the mask into the roots and leave in for 15-20 minutes and then wash it out with shampoo and conditioner if you use it.
It makes you hair feel softer, less damaged and thicker too, even just after one use!
It's £10.95 but you get a large pot and you don't need a huge amount so you'll get your monies worth!
I'm always looking for other eyebrow products and recently i found one by Rimmel, the Brow this way brow kit. The kit comes with a powder and a wax, along with a small brush to comb out the brows and a brush to shape them.
I little of this stuff goes a long way, you don't need a huge amount to shape and define your brows, so this will last a long time.
At only £3.99 it doesn't break the bank at all and is something i'd most certainly recommend if you're on a bit of a budget!
My final favourite of this month is something that i can't really recommend per say... MY FIRST CAR!
Two weeks ago i finally saved up enough money to buy myself my first car, after passing my test just over a month ago. I got myself Nissan Micra and i love it! I managed to find one with sat nav, usb port, voice control and a few other gadgets, but i love driving it too!
Was slightly rainy when i took this photo but still, isn't she pretty?
Anyway, i hope you've all had a fabulous November and are excited for December!
It's so nearly Christmas and i'm so excited, are you guys done shopping? Are you as excited as i am for Christmas as me?!
Let me know!
