Hello my beautiful people! I hope you have all had a lovely week. Today's post is a little more beauty-themed and is, indeed, my January favourites. For those of you who have never come across 'monthly favourites' before, this is a collection of my favourite beauty products, accessories, books, films, scented candles and all that jazz. Btw I am super super sorry for the awful quality and editing of these photos as this is new to me so hopefully I will improve as I do this more often. Before I begin, I would also like to apologise for the vast amount of pink grapefruit-scented products in this favourites- I have recently become a little obsessed with pink grapefruit #sorrynotsorry. So I hope you enjoy this and will maybe give you some ideas of products to try and some of the most beautiful scents. Make sure to leave your opinions on this post in the comments box below :)
The first of my monthly favourites is this beautiful over-sized, pastel pink, chequed scarf from New Look. I am absolutely in love with this scarf as it is so cosy, fluffy and warm and is a beautiful colour. These scaves also seem to be very fashionable this winter and as I am absolutely obsessed with pastel colours, I decided to opt for this shade and I absolutely love it. I also picked up this scarf in New Look then found it was in the sale section and was dropped from about £15 to about £6 so I was very happy with this purchase.
The next item in my favourites is the Botanics Uplifting Face Scrub. This product is absolutely amazing and makes my skin feel so so smooth and also is beautifully scented. I first picked up this product over a year ago in Boots and, from then, have never used a different exfoliator. It is just so so good that I am on about my 4th tube in a row (they also last for months and months). I tend to use this 2-3 times a week in my cleanse, tone, moisturise facial routine after cleansing but I am not one hundred percent sure that this is correct so if I am doing this completely wrong, please tell me in the comments below and we can all help each other!
The third item is this beautiful Cath Kidston beauty set which consists of geranium scented shower gel, hand cream and lip cream. I picked this up in Harrods a while back, meaning this was a little on the pricey side (£10) for what it was but I really wanted to buy something from Harrods and I absolutely love Cath Kidston. When I first used this, I instantly fell in love with it! This smells so amazing and makes my skin/hands/lips feel amazing. I also love the packaging, it is so pretty and floral and pastel and I just found this really cute.
This book was an absolute definite for this favourites since page one. Firstly, it was written by the most lovely Youtuber who I absolutely love. Even if Zoe didn't write this book I would have still fallen in live with it as it is so so amazing and the story is so beautiful. Personally, I find this book very relatable with my panic attacks, anxiety and also the typical teenage girl dramas and it also helped me so so much and gave amazing tips on how to calm down during a panic attack. If this book is ever brought out as a movie, I would defiantly audition for the role of Penny! I did actually have a dream that this happened and I got to meet Zoe during auditions and then I was cast as Penny and the boy who played Noah was super cute and we fell in love and got married in New York :) Maybe it's a sign :p
For this next product (Grace Cole London: Watermelon and Pink Grapefruit Body Sprits), it was love at first sight for me. My friends and I were shopping in Superderug and were in the body mists/sprays/perfume isle and picking up all the bottles and spraying them to see if we liked them or not (which you're not really supposed to do- whoopsies :s) and we all instantly fell in love with this body sprits and all three of of us bought one and also bought one for our other friend because it smelt so so yummy!
I received this cute little gift of Joules Floral Fizzing Bath 'Bulbs' for Christmas and I find it so so cute. The packaging was the cutest thing ever and I just absolutely fell in love with the whole concept of egg-shaped bath bombs on an egg carton. It also smells absolutely amazing and makes my skin feel so smooth and is the so nice for a pamper night. I think you can buy these in Boots but I am not one hundred percent sure.
This product- Neutrogena Visably Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash- is so so amazing (and is yet again pink grapefruit-scented). As my skin is prone to spots, I find this facial wash so affective and gets rid of spots so quickly and it also smells amazing! This is possibly my favourite product of this whole post! You could probably pick this up in any high street drugstore such as Superdrug or Boots or maybe a supermarket.
I bought this pink tote bag from New Look (which is one of my favourite shops) a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. The first day I got it, I constantly carried it around the house. I fell in love with the beautiful colour and design and I feel so posh carrying it around. It is also very spacious so can fit all my school/weekend essentials in it. I just love love love this bag!
The next of my January favourites is this lush scented candle from Next-Homeware. It is apricot and pink grapefruit scented and smells so fruity and yummy. It is also beautifully packaged and comes in a pack of six. It has such a long burning time as well. It is just so yummiful!
These NSpa mango and raspberry body butters smell so amazing and are just great to use all over your body after a bath or shower or on a pamper night for your hands and feet. They literally are some of the nicest smelling things ever and are just so lovely and make my skin feel amazing. I could literally sit there smell these all day!
Before using this shower gel, I had never really tried any Soap & Glory products. I am now absolutely obsessed with this brand- especially this shower gel as it smells so yummy and again, makes my skin feel so smooth. It is the perfect product to use on a pamper night! It is also very long-lasting as it is very big.
As some of you may know, I am an absolute face mask- obsessive and these two are my favourite, simply because they smell so amazing! These are again perfect for a pamper night and are my pamper night favourites.
Oh my gosh, this book is just so so so amazing. It is one of the best books I have ever read! It is so beautiful and sad and I cried so so much at the end. I would defiantly recommend for you to all read it. It is the cutest book ever and is again so relatable. I am absolutely in love with the film as well an it will almost definitely be appearing in my next favourites.
Thank you so so much for reading this blog post. Sorry this post was so long. Make sure to leave your comments below and I am looking forward to seeing you again very very soon.
