I can't believe it's December already! Not only has the past month flown by but this year is nearly over in the blink of an eye! With the end of the month brings a monthly favourites post.
I couldn't wait to finish my Soap & Glory moisturiser to get using this. The first day I used it I fell in love with it, my body feels moisturised all day and I smell like a walking mojito! You need to rub a bit of it in your hands first before applying it to your body as this makes it go on more evenly. After applying it mum has asked me what I had put on as I smelt nice which is always a good compliment to hear. This body butter costs £14 for 200ml but keep an eye out as The Body Shop always has offers on.
I got this in a Latest In Beauty beauty box and I would definitely repurchase it separately. It contains Shea butter, seaweed extracts and macadamia nut oil to moisturise and soften your hands and it also contains myrrh to help condition nails and cuticles which is an added bonus. With the winter months and colder weather approaching my hands are so dry at the minute so when I seen this was in the beauty box I was delighted. As soon as I put it on my hands feel instantly nourished and it doesn't leave an oily residue which I hate with hand moisturisers. It is quite dear at £15 for 100g but it definitely an amazing hand cream.
No words can describe how excited I was when I seen this was coming out! I got it when I was in Belfast and it has been my go to palette since! With a mixture of matte, metallic and shimmer colours there is something for everyone! Dirty Sweet and Smolder are my two favourite colours in the palette, Dirty Sweet is medium bronze and Smolder is a deep plum - taupe. This palette is £38 and is definitely worth investing in.
After my favourite foundation got discontinued I tried a few different foundations and was never fully happy with them until I found this little wonder! Dream Satin Liquid from Maybelline is not too greasy or too drying on the skin which is great for my combination skin. I got it in the shade fawn which is a lovely colour but I think I could have got away with a lighter shade. It is £7.99 in boots and usually is on offer at 3 for 2.
I have saved the best to last. The Clarisonic Aria is a miracle worker! I will be writing up a full review of it at the end of this week as I have been using it for a month now and I can give an honest review of it. I honestly wouldn't be without this and would repurchase it if it broke tomorrow. It is quite expensive at £150 but I shopped around and found one on eBay for £75 which was a great bargain and it's definitely worth the hefty price tag.
This month I am absolutely loving this show. Is is about lawyer Patty Hewes who in each series takes on a major case. She hires recent law school graduate Ellen Parsons and it's so interesting to see the relationship between the pair of them as it's so complex. It finished in 2012 and with 5 series it will keep me occupied for a while. I would definitely recommend watching it, there's so many twists and turns in it you never knownwhat is going to happen next.
I'm totally loving that Adele is back, and her new stuff is so good. Anyone who hasn't listened to her new album yet get on the ball and do it. Graham Norton did a special TV programme with her a few weeks back and it was so good. She really is just a down to earth girl who just happens to have an amazing voice.
