Recent Favourites

As its currently a Sunday, I thought i'd catch up on some blogging! I have completely neglected my blog recently but I am slowly but surely getting back into it, I have already written one review which is waiting to go up, so hopefully I can catch up today and perhaps schedule some posts. Anyway i'll stop blabbing and get on with what today's post is going to be about, my recent favourites as you can tell from the title! I decided not to do a monthly favourites as I have been using some of these products longer than a month!
I wrote this blog post a few weeks ago, I haven't had time to take photos as when I do have time the lighting isn't great, so apologies for these photos not being my own, credit to Google images.

I am going to try and be quick at explaining why these products are my favourites but that doesn't tend to happen a lot as I have so much to say about things! First of all is the Garnier Pure Foam Wash, this is a product I was excited to try as I had read nothing but good things about it and Garnier definitely didn't disappoint! I love this wash for every day use, it smells fresh, makes my skin feel at its cleanest and definitely helps with my oily T-zone. I say this as usually facial washes tend to make my skin 'too clean' and provokes it to produce more oils, but this wash definitely keeps the oils under control! I'm not going to say much about this as there already is or will be very soon a full review on this product!

My next favourite is the Rimmel London Stay Matte liquid mousse foundation. First of all I must say, I was confused as to what a 'liquid mousse' foundation looked and felt like and the only way I can describe it is a very light mousse. Awful description I know, it comes out like a blob of mousse then when I apply it using the Real Techniques Buffing brush it covers just like a liquid would. Now don't be fooled by this foundation being 'light', it gives absolutely amazing coverage! I love how light it feels on my skin and how it looks, covering all my imperfections and helping to control the oils- it definitely stays matte!

Another favourite of mine is quite unusual for me! It's the MUA Matte Lipstick in Wild Berry. I absolutely love dark vampy lipsticks, especially purples! I just never ever had the confidence to wear one, but as I follow MUA on instagram and saw how incredible it looks on the lip, for a £1 I just couldn't leave it! I wasn't fooled when I saw the colour in the bullet being so dark almost black, as I had seen how it looks on, but if you do see this lipstick in Superdrug definitely swatch it! It comes out very pigmented but sheer, but it is definitely buildable, usually 2 coats is enough for me! I love how the lipstick looks and for a pound you cant go wrong- I've definitely got my wear out of it this Autumn/Winter, I will continue to wear it until it becomes too Spring, haha!

I've also been loving the Skintruth Lavender and Chamomile soothing cleanser, this is from a 3 step kit but I only particularly like the cleanser. Now I hate Lavender but this cleanser really isn't that bad, I can't really smell the lavender when applying. This is just a slightly more expensive alternative to treat my skin a little usually once or twice a week, I only do not use this so often as this is a Salon brand so it's not quite as easy to get hold of- my sister is a qualified beauty therapist though, so that's the only reason I have it! This is as it states, very soothing and cleansing as it leaves my skin feeling lovely and makes me feel better about my self all round- that's quite cheesy but, I guess it really is soothing! If you happen to see this in a salon near you or would like to try it, I definitely wouldn't hesitate! I love it!

Last but not least beauty related product, its the Beyonce Heat perfume. I never thought I would be saying this as Beyonce is not a person who particularly interests me- but this perfume is amazing! I was looking for a cheaper alternative to my Giorgio Armani Si perfume, for every day use- as Si isn't quite as affordable! I'm not saying this perfume is a similar scent to Si but I saw a lot of people had it, so I thought it must be good! I finally went into town and gave this a whiff in Boots and I loved it instantly! I cannot explain the scent but its slightly sweet and spicy at the same time, perfect and affordable for every day wear! It's so affordable, I purchased the 100ml size for under £15!

My final favourite isn't beauty related, it's something I got for my Birthday. If you don't already know, I kind of have a thing for Olly Murs, like a big thing. I've seen him live 4 times and met him twice, once a competition I won to go to his book signing and the second time- me and my friend waited outside in the cold from 10 til around 4pm. Then after went to see him live! My most recent to date 'thing' is that I won a competition with Heart FM to ask him a question and got to say anything I wanted to him- I asked him to follow me on twitter ofc! He did on Boxing Day and it was the most amazing thing, I listened to him answer my other question and just cried. Probably very sad I know! So to highlight my thing for Olly, my parents got me this signed picture of him framed which is going to sit on my wall very happily!

I hope that wasn't too long and that you're still here! If you are then thank you so much! That's all for today's favourites post- what would you like to see?
