1. Mac Lipgelee in Bubble Lounge.

This Mac Lipgelee is a fairly recent purchase that I made in January when I was shopping in Portsmouth. I felt the need to buy it when I saw my sister swatch it in the store. I just couldn't believe how pretty it was and had to get it! I started using it at the beginning of this month and it has just lived in my handbag since then, so I can use it when I'm out. I have been loving it! It seems to be lasting really well which is a nice feeling considering Mac products are  on the expensive side.

         
2. Benefit Eye Bright Pencil Liner.

The Benefit Eye Bright Pencil Liner has been a favourite and a must have of mine for a long time now. I think I got my first one of these as a Christmas present a few years ago and ever since then I've  loved it. It seems to be a product that I reach  for a lot. This month I'm pretty sure I have used it everyday.



3. Make Up Forever Smoky Lash Mascara.

I love mascara's and trying out different ones .I have a lot of favourite ones but the one that stood out most to me  this month was the Make Up Forever Smoky Lash, it has to be my most used one without a doubt. I picked this up when I was in Spain. I know this is a big favourite in the blogging community and now that I have tried it for myself I understand why.
I'm pretty upset I didn't pick up a couple more when I was out there, but guess I will have to find a way of getting my hands on another one when I can.



4. Make Up Forever HD Foundation.

As I did with the Mascara I also picked this up when I was in Spain. At first I was only using this foundation for special occasions but soon found myself using it all the time. I am completely in LOVE with this foundation! Its super easy to apply and feels great when its on, it also has great staying power and makes my skin look amazing in photo's and in person.            

   

5.Urban Decay Naked Palette.


This is a product I have loved for a long long long time now! Honestly not sure how I would get ready without it sometimes. The palette is just full of such amazing and beautiful colours. I don't own the naked 2 palette yet but its something I plan to buy soon, so I cant wait to see how it compares. I am almost finished with this palette now but luckily I do have a back up one.

6. Gosh Eyebrow kit.

This is yet another product I used for a while and it honestly feels like its lasted me forever. You can tell its a well used product when you see the setting gel in the picture (looks so gross, sorry about that) I haven't tried many eyebrow kits but this is one that has just lasted and done a great job so I would recommend this product.

7.Decleor Paris Nourishing Lip Balm.
I first tried this product around the time of  October 2012 when a friend recommended that I should try some of hers as I was on Accutane tablets at the time and my lips were unbelievably dry and painful. I really liked the lip balm and by the point I was at in my medication nothing felt like it was helping but this seemed to work more than anything else I had tried. I am off Accutane now and have been since mid December but I still re purchased this product and use it mainly in the evening to moisturise my lips before I go to sleep.



8. James Brown Effortless Hold Hairspray.
I actually bought a James Brown gift set in the January sales after Christmas as I like the shampoo and conditioner. The gift set was really cheap when I saw it in Boots so I had to buy it. It came with the hairspray that I had never tried before but I started using it at the beginning of this month. I have been really impressed with it. It looks nice on my hair and really keeps it in place for a long time, great to use on nights out.


9. The Body Shop Vanilla Body Mist.

This product has been a favourite of mine for over a year now. I just love the smell of it so much and it is nice for days when I don't want to wear perfume, I can just throw this body spray on and still smell great. I think I've gone through about 4 or 5 bottles of this I cant help but re buy it every time I'm in the store. I should probably give another scent a try, any suggestions?


10. The Body Shop Coconut Hand Cleanse Gel.

 I picked it up when I was in the outlet store and its just nice to use a cleansing gel that smells nice,  its also a great handbag size. I think I'm going to pick up some of the other scents when I'm next in a body shop store to try them out.
