Current Favourites | January

I've finally come back to doing monthly favourites, well this month anyway. Christmas and January is a time for trying and receiving new products and items so I decided to combine a few of my favourites and what I've been using a lot during the duration of the month.

   
   


My first favourite of the month is Boots Extracts body butter, from Boots obviously. I'm not entirely sure if you can buy these separately without being part of a giftset as I've never looked for them on their own. I've been using the Strawberry and Spiced Apple butter during the Christmas period and they smell so amazing. Spiced Apple smells like a pastry and it also smells like Christmas itself, are they valid descriptions? The Strawberry butter smells like strawberrys and cream, it's really sweet. They're really smooth and moisturizing and I can feel it being really good for my skin, especially after a shower.


My next favourites are makeup favourites. Firstly I've been really loving Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Styling gel in the shade 003 Dark Brown. I've been using this on top of their Brow This Way powder from the sculpting kit of the same name. This sets my brows and combs them into place, I feel like it makes my brows look more defined and natural. It goes over the natural shape of my brows and gives them extra definition and makes them more filled in. It's much more natural looking especially after using a powder which can sometimes make them look block-y.

Next is Maybelline New York ColourDrama in the shade 630 nude perfection. I've been loving the colour on this and it's a perfect dupe of MAC'S Velvet Teddy lipstick, which I am obsessed with. I normally use this to line my lips before wearing Velvet Teddy as the pencil is easy to apply and shape and it blends in with the MAC lipstick. It still looks good on it's own too.


My last beauty product has to be something from Lush, of course. I bought First Snow when they were selling off their Christmas stock because it intrigued me and I love the idea of it. It's a body shimmer or dusting powder, whichever you want to call it. You basically put it anywhere on your body to give yourself a nice glow or shimmer, plus it's scented. It smells like citrus and is so refreshing. The lovely woman in the shop told me she likes to mix it with her moisturizer to give her body a nice sparkle she also said she likes using it in her hair, which I've yet to try. I use it on my cheek bones as a subtle highlighter generally and I love the smell of it so much.

My last favourites are music related. This month I've been loving Dodie Clark or Doddleddle on Youtube. I've been listening to her playlist of original songs for the past few weeks and have been absolutely loving them. They're really chill and she has the softest cutest voice and lyrics ever and the melodies will get stuck in your head all day. My favourite songs of hers are Gold Star for Me, She and Down, which you can check out my cover of here, if you're interested. They're songs that really cheer me up when I'm down or need to get my mind off something.
The second artist I've been obsessed with is Panic! At the Disco and their new album Death of a Bachelor. I love every single song on this album. They've turned much more pop based and all the songs are very upbeat and songs such as Death of a Bachelor are jazz influenced and Brendon Urie sounds so good singing that style of music. My favourite songs off the album are House of Memories and Crazy = Genius. Check that out too if you haven't already.

What has everyone been enjoying during the past month?
