1. Too Faced Chocolate Bar - This has been the best purchase I have made in a long time. When going on weekends away I always bring my Urban Decay Naked palette so made the tough decision to leave it at home and bring this to Dublin with me last weekend. I didn't miss the naked palette at all and used this so much. It has so many colours on it that you can wear day or night which is also what I love about the Naked palette. I couldn't pick a favourite shade in it as they are all amazing but there are four shades I have a definite soft spot for. They are Marzipan, Hazelnut, Creme Brulee and Haute Chocolate. They are all metallic colours and can be blended over the top of other matte shades on the palette to give them more depth. This retails at £45 which quite steep but it definitely worth the buy. I will be posting up a full review of this during the week.
2. Bed Head Totally Baked - This is from Bed Head's Candy Fixations range. I love this product it smells of lemon meringue and it works wonders on my hair. It adds volume without leaving a greasy residue on my hair which is what I need with my hair being quite greasy anyway. You put it on your hair when it is wet and then blow dry your hair as normal. With me having short hair it really helps pad it out and makes styling it much easier. It lasts forever, as a little really does go along way. This is my second bottle of it and the first one lasted me well over a year and that's me using it every time I wash my hair. This retails at around £8 and you can get it from Sally's or on line from different websites.
3. Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - Yet another month where a Soap & Glory product makes it into my favourites. This scrub is amazing. It gets rid of all your flaky skin so you don't look like a flaky old lizard which is definitely not a look you want to be rocking! It contains smashed brown sugar, sweet lime, almond oil and macadamia grains. Any time I use it the bathroom smells of lime for ages after, its so yummy. I use it once a week to get rid of all the leftover tan from the previous week and it moisturises as well as scrubs which is great as some scrubs out there are quite drying on the skin. This body scrub retails at £8 from Boots and is currently on offer at 3 for 2. I also recommend trying the rest of the Sugar Crush range from soap and glory as it smells equally as yummy.
4. Burt's Bees Hand Cream - Anyone who knows me knows that I have a soft spot for banana flavoured/smelling things so when I when I seen this in Holland & Barrett I had to get it! The smell of banana hits you as soon as you open it and lingers on your hands when you use it. Burt's Bees is a great company and I love their lip balms as well. The only problem with it is that it's in a glass jar and if you're as clumsy as me you have to be very careful. Mine dropped out of my handbag on to the floor shortly after I bought it and the jar smashed, which meant I reluctantly had to throw it in the bin and buy a new one. Although it's a hand cream you can use it on your elbows, knees, feet or any other horrid little dry patches you want to banish! Its £10.35 and a little goes a long way so it will last a lifetime.
5. Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick, 111, Kiss Of Life - If you haven't guessed already I have a slight obsession with lipsticks! I have been looking for the perfect red lipstick for a long time and after buying a lot of pinky reds and berry reds I finally found this little beauty! A few people had told me to try out Ruby Woo by MAC but I've seen a few reviews saying it's hard to apply and it dries out your lips which is never a good look. It's an orange red and teamed with my MAC Cherry lip pencil it is long lasting and doesn't feather or dry out my lips which is perfect. It's true to it's colour and one quick swipe is great coverage. The packaging is great as it's bright red so it's easy to find in the bottom corner of my handbag. It retails at £5.49 and is a great bargain for anyone wanting to try it out.
That's my favourite products for another month and I look forward to hearing any products you have been loving this month so I can try them out and they might end up in my favourite post next month! Has anyone else noticed that I mention all my favourites this month except my lipstick smell good, I'm such a magpie when it comes to nice smelling products!
