I would like to apologise for the quality of these photos. I’m not exactly known for my brilliant photography skills as it is but this time of year has been disastrous for pictures. No matter what time of day I try to take the photos at they always come out dark and weird. Bring back Summer!
1. Benefit Dandelion Blusher
Thanks to my incredibly pale skin I am limited on what kind of blusher I can actually use. Most are far too dark for me and no amount of blending can eliminate the clown look I’m left with. Benefit Dandelion is one of the few blushers I can wear that adds a nice, subtle colour without being over the top. It’s easy to work with and looks good for most of the day. I’m actually a little gutted about the fact I’ve hit pan on it.
2. Lush Whip Stick
My 2 favourite lip balms have gone walkabouts so I picked up Whip Stick from Lush just in time. It’s a rather delightful chocolate orange flavoured lip balm that does not look even remotely appealing in the tin or on the website. I’ve been using it non-stop and could not be happier with it. It’s not an overly creamy lip balm so it doesn’t completely drench your lips but it does do a good job at hydrating them. It also leaves behind a rather lovely subtle taste so it’s a major win!
3. MAC Chatterbox
Chatterbox has featured in my monthly favourites before but I just had to include it again. It’s a beautiful, natural pink lipstick that works for both day and night. Chatterbox is an Amplified formula so it’s creamy, easy to apply and lasts for a good few hours. Out of all of my lipsticks it doesn’t typically stand out but when I do pull it out of my make up drawer I always fall right back in love with it.
4. Lush King of Skin
I think it’s safe to say based on the group picture King of Skin (the individual shot was obviously taken on a different day) has been used quite a lot. Like I mentioned in my Lush haul post I believed I would be chasing this around the shower but I’m pleased to say it’s not even remotely slippery. I was convinced it wasn’t actually working but my skin has been softer and less dry since using it. Another awesome find in Lush!
5. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
How late to the scene am I with this one? I picked it up on a whim as my Bioderma was about to run out and I’m so glad I did. The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water does an incredible job at removing even my darkest of eye make-up and brightest of lipstick. Very little of the product is required and it’s a great (and cheaper) alternative to Bioderma. I’m really not saying anything about this that hasn’t been said before am I?
So there’s my November Favourites. Now if you don’t mind I have a lot of chocolate to consume while I watch the Chargers take on the Ravens. I’m going to be gutted when football season is over. I really can’t stay on topic can I?
