November Favourites

Hey guys! I hope you've all had an amazing week :) I can't believe it's December already! Christmas is right around the corner and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet...

This post is gonna be long. I've bought so much makeup (and received - it was my 18th birthday this month!) and I've been loving so much makeup that by the time I finish writing this post it'll be time to write up my December favourites. But without any further ado, let's jump right into it!

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE MATTE FOUNDATION

If you read my review on this foundation you will know that I loved this, and if you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen that I've been wearing this non-stop. I love how lightweight yet flawless yet natural it looks on my face and it's the perfect everyday foundation. And it's so affordable too! This is definitely a new holy grail of mine and I will be racing to Superdrug to buy this again the day I run out of it.

PRIMARK CONTOUR & GLOW PALETTE

Watch every single makeup snob turn their nose up at me for even suggesting that a Primark beauty item might be good enough to make it onto a favourites post! I personally am the last person to be snobby about makeup; I love a cheap product. This palette is so surprisingly good quality, in fact, the formula of the bronzer kinda reminds me of the Benefit Hoola bronzer, which is one of my favourites. The highlighter is one of those soft, everyday, "glowing from within" type highlighters and I love it. Primark isn't messing around, guys!

NYX HD CONCEALER

NYX lip products are some of my favourites ever so I decided to branch out and try their face products and all I can say is: WOW! This concealer is so good; it just melts into the skin when you blend it out and it lasts forever once set. It has fantastic coverage too! I got it in the shade "Porcelain" which is a little too yellow for me but once blended out and set it looks the same colour as my foundation anyway. I'm obsessed with this concealer and it's definitely one of my ride or die products now!

THE BODY SHOP DROPS OF YOUTH CONCENTRATE

If you read my blog post about what I got for my birthday you'll know that I got a mini version of this product in a Glossybox and I love it. I use it before I go to bed after I tone and moisturise and when I wake up my skin is still looking so beautiful and radiant. My skin is so dry around this time of year but this adds so much extra moisture and makes my skin feel beautifully soft. I am absolutely obsessed!

BENEFIT GIMME BROW

I'm late to the whole Gimme Brow hype but I totally get why it's so popular! I love how full and thick it makes my brows look in seconds, and I even changed my brow routine because of this product. I just swipe a bit of this on and tidy it up with my Freedom Brow Pomade. I got the shade "3" in a Benefit gift set I got for my birthday and I'm obsessed. I was never that into brow mascaras before but I love the way this coats my brow hairs and makes them look darker than they are, as I have very fair brow hairs. This doesn't set your brows in place but it definitely gives them an extra edge and I'm in love!

GARNIER MICELLAR WATER

I saw that the Garnier Micellar Water was on offer in Asda a few weeks ago so I thought I'd pick it up as I know it's a lot of people's favourite way to remove makeup. I have to say, it's mine too! I start off by taking off my lipstick and eye makeup with a makeup wipe and then I take everything else off with some of this on a cotton pad. I love the way my makeup just glides off my skin when I use this and it's so easy to use. I'm almost out so I'll definitely be picking up another bottle soon!

CIATE TRIPLE SHOT MASCARA

I got this mascara for my birthday and I am obsessed! It has a really tiny wand which makes it great for the lower lashes but it's really good for the top ones too and gives loads of volume. It is quite a pricey mascara, I won't lie, but it is really good and if you're into your high-end mascaras then I'd definitely recommend giving it a bash! Will I repurchase this? Probably not, as I love my Essence mascaras and they're only £3 each but I've been using this to death this month as I really like it!

And that concludes my November favourites! I hope everybody has a great December and I'll see you all again in my next blog post :)

Lots of love,
