November Favourites

Wow how is it nearly the end of the year already! It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since I was blogging about London trips and booking holidays and now its nearly Christmas? Woahh!
November has been a pretty funny month for me owning to the fact I have spent the last 2 weeks of it recovering from surgery and haven't really left the house. Even so I want to share with you a favourites post today - I am determined to make these a regular monthly thing - because I am nosey and I like to read them so I am going to assume you all do too! When I just looked back the last one I did was August which I couldnt believe! So make note, these will now be coming your way every month!!!

Soap and Glory Bright Here - Bright Now - £12
 I picked this product up around January in the sale in boots in a gift set and although it doesnt often get a lot of love from me, I have been using it the past couple of weeks. As I have said, I have spent the last couple of weeks cooped up recovering from my op but when I have left the house briefly I have done so wearing little if any make up (which I would NEVER normally do but it is one of the perks of being ill) - I have been putting this little beauty which is an instant radiance balm on which is designed to give your skin and instant lift and pick me up. Perfect for when your not wearing any make up but you want that 'i feel like crap but dont want to look like it' glow!
FYI they have changed the packaging of this now - it now comings in a while tube.

Origins Super Spot Remover - £14
 I had this in my hand around this time last year in John Lewis in London and put it back. I picked it up when I went to Manchester with mum at the start of October after I continued to read such good things about it on the blogesphere. I seriously regret not picking this up sooner! Although I am quite blessed that I dont get many spots or blemishes - occasionally I get a little blighter that pops up from nowhere! A dab of this before I go to bed and 9 times out of 10 it is either gone or unnoticable the next morning!

Lush Mask of Magmaminty - £5.25 for 125g or £9.25 for 315g
 This face mask from lush has become a favourite of mine as a pick me up for my skin when it has been feeling crappy! There is nothing like sitting round the house feeling poopy to do that to you is there? Although this mask is labelled as a mask which helps with spots I find that the peppermint flavouring in this is perfect for making your skin feel fresh as a daisy!

Mac Palette (£10 each for shadows, £6.50 for palette) 
If you read my review on this little beauty here I am sure it will come as no surprise to you that this is in my favourites. This has been getting some serious wear and I am SO in love with it I cant even tell you! 

Lush 9-5 Cleanser - £4.95 for 95g or £9.50 for 240g
 If you have been with me a while you will know that I am on the constant hunt for a good cleanser/make up remover! I picked this up in lush and decided to give it a try to see if it compared to my beloved Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and I have to say - so far so good!!!

Clinique Liquid Soap - £15.50
 Not really much to say about this product - got the recommendation from a friend to try and and am enjoying using it and how it makes my skin feel!

Babylis Curl Secret - £119.99
 I instantly fell in love with this beauty as soon as I used it for the first time! It has had some serious loving during the first 2 weeks in November and I am sure as Christmas rolls around will continue to get some!

Benefit Rockateur - £23.50
I held off and held off on this rose gold beauty and resisted it after reading so much about it online but when I passed the Benefit counter one day and swatched it for myself I couldnt hold off any longer!

And that rounds up my favourites for November! I am sure there will be a lot of discoveries and new favourites in December what with functions and Christmas events it gives me chance to crack out the glitter and different make up that I normally use so I am sure you will see some of that come the end of December! Also any products on here that I havent yet done a proper review on, I will be doing them over the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes out for those! :)
