This month i've been loving netural nail shades - the two i've been wearing the most are Barry M Matte Polish in Vanilla and OPI in On Taupe on the Space Needle.
I'm dying to try the Bioderma H20 Micellar solution but the price and its unavailability have put me off ordering this online - I also don't like to buy a high end product i can't try or at least see before I buy. I'm happy to buy high end skin products but usully will only buy from a counter.
This what i believe is the Garnier version of the solution and when i saw it on sale in savers I couldn't resist picking it up for just £2.99. I've been using this to take my makeup off for the past couple of weeks and am loving this product - I've noticed since swapping to this from the oily MAC remover (which i do still love after a night's out make up) my skin has felt loads fresher and softer!
You can buy the Bioderma on amazon here and the Garnier here for £4.99 but do check out Savers if you have one locally as it's on promotion at the moment.
I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair and while I dream of beachy waves (think Kate Hudson) without a hectic hair regime i end up looking more like Monica from friends in the Barbados episodes!!
This product really suits my hair and has helped to control the frizz - it's quite a heavy product so I don't think it would suit anyone with fine hair but if you want a beachy look and have a lot of hair I definitely would recommend giving this product a try.
You can buy Matt and Messy here for £3.75, they are also on promtoion with the other studioline products for 2 for £4.50.
I love and live in my heels but my because of this my feet often require a bit of TLC - I have been loving this Nip + Fab Stiletto Fix which i believe came in a beauty box last month. I'm not sure of the science behind this product but this really stops what i like to call stiletto sting (when you've been in heels to long) it also really really nourishes your feet. This sells for £10.00 and you can buy it here.
I've talked about this before in a haul post but this has become my current go to lipstick. It's one of the MAC lustre ones which i believe are £15.00 and is in the colour syrup - as you can see I have used this lipstick loads (only had it 6 weeks and already half way down). You can buy this here.
Last of the beauty favorites is a Christmas present my boyfriend got me and it's the Agent Provocateur perfume - this is such a sexy heavy scent and it really doesn't smell like anything else out there.
I'e had loads of compliments about this every time I'm wearing it!!
Next up are a few non beauty favorites....
I AM a huge Beyonce and cannot get enough of the new album!! In my eyes the woman can do no wrong!
The best movie I saw in January was American Hustle... funny and slick with great performances. Think Amy Adams is likely to get an Oscar for this.
Finally please don't ask me how I came across this but Im obsessed with these Bob the Builder cheesy snacks - they are gorgeous and only 72 calories a bag :)
What have you been loving (or loathing) this January? xxx
Hey, thank you for your recent comments on my blog :)

I am so desperate to try the Garnier Micellar water, as I seriously adore Bioderma so a cheaper alternative would be amazing xx

Oh yeah i've seen a bit about the Garnier water. It's definitely on my list to try, it looks like much better value for money than the L'Oreal water- that stuff runs out like lightning! :-(

I need to watch The American Hustle too :)
ReplyDeleteI had to idea Garnier had a dupe of Bioderma. I love Bioderma but it is so expensive. I might give this Garnier one a try!
ReplyDeleteOmg, stiletto fix sounds fab! I'm 5ft 1, so I'm in heels on a daily basis. this product would be a lifesaver! Bob the builder the snacks, erm, hell yes! Have you tried the Iced Hello Kitty biscuits?! I love them and they're low calorie!
