October Favourites

It's been a long time since I've done a 'favourites' post. I do take pictures and plan the post but whenever I get round to writing it, it's already time for the next month so never actually end up posting it. However, this month I'm early!

VO5 High Volume Hair Spray - This hairspray is definitely one of my favourites. I spray it all over my hair before I go outside and my hairstyle doesn't frizz or curl throughout the day.

Tangle Teezer - This brush comes everywhere with me and I think it's time I invested in the travel version before this one gets ruined. It brushes threw hair with ease no matter how messy it is. And it's bright pink. What's not to love?

Lush's Snow Fairy Shower Gel - The best product from Lush. Smells gorgeous (like jelly beans I think), it's pink and it has irridescent glitter in it. I definitely need to stock up. 

Vichy Normaderm - I don't want to spoil this as a full review will be coming soon but this moisturiser is the best I've ever tried.

ELF Studio Powder Brush - I use this to apply foundation with and it gives flawless coverage with no streaks. I love it.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - My perfect foundation that I've gone back to this month. It doesn't budge and gives full coverage.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - A silky powder that keeps my make up in place throughout the day and also keeps my skin shine free for a long amount of time.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer + Maybelline Superstay 24hr Concealer - This is the concealer duo that I use as they both last for a long amount of time and provide great coverage.

Urban Decay Naked Palette - The best eyeshadow palette out there in my opinion. It provides lots of different, wearable looks.

ELF Mineral Lipstick in Rosy Raisin - A beautiful 'vintage' pink colour that is the perfect my lips but better shade.

Urban Decay Primer Potion - The perfect primer for the eyes; eyeshadow doesn't budge all day when this has been used.

ELF Plumping Lip Glaze in Baby Doll - A gorgeous light, dolly pink colour. It's great for wearing to college or when I have a dominant eye combination.

Nars Blush in Deep Throat - I'm so happy that I've got this! It's the most wonderfully soft blush I've tried and it's a peachy pink colour that matches my complexion gorgeously.

L-R ELF Rosy Raisin Lipstick, ELF Baby Doll Lip Glaze, Nars Deep Throat Blush.

Fade Out Extra Care Fade Cream - Night REVIEW

I was sent this product by Beauty Judge (thanks!) for reviewing purposes but of course, this doesn't effect my review. Also, this review is taken straight off of Beauty Judge.

First of all, I'll tell you a little bit about my skin. It's combination, spot prone and due to having a lot of spots in my teenage years (I'm still a teenager but you get this jist), I have bad acne scarring which of course, kills my confidence. When Beauty Judge asked me to try out this moisturises, I immediately said yes. I have been on the lookout for a product to reduce my scars for what seems like forever so of course, I had to give this a try.

The moisturiser comes in a white plastic tub that doesn't have the most attractive packaging in the world but it is very convenient. If you unscrew the lid, there's one of those plastic top things that keep the product inside and reduces spillages - great! I'm a big lover of nice smells and I must mention that this doesn't smell nice at all, it's very chemically. Some of you may like this however, I'm not keen at all. At one point, I considered stopping using it and if it wasn't for this review, I would've done. But now I've grown used to it and it doesn't bother me.

The cream itself is pretty thick and because my skin is combination, it does make it a little greasy for a while but after about 5 minutes, it skins in. Because the consistency of the cream is thick, you only need a tiny pea sized amount to cover the whole face, so it's great value for money - and it's cheap in the first place too! I believe it's around the £5 mark for a 50ml tub. This cream is to be applied at night (hence the name, fade cream night) and it's recommended that you use the day cream along with it. I don't think I would use the day cream because it's probably as heavy as this one and would make my skin pretty shiny.

As for the results of this cream? I can definitely see them! My scars have faded and they're not so prominant on my skin now. I don't have to use as much foundation/concealer to cover them up either. I honestly was a bit sceptical about this product at first because it is on the cheap side, yet I was wrong. This is wonderful. I have been using this for around 4 weeks now and I have seen an improvement of around 30-40% which is fantastic. I will definitely continue to use this and hopefully, my scarring should be virtually invisible within a few months. Also, this tub will last me an incredibly long amount of time - I've only used around 4% of it in 4 weeks. 

I also must add, this did break me out a little bit. But as it was a new product, I was expecting this. Also, on open spots, it does sting.

Beware, these before/after pictures aren't very attractive!

Lush Think Pink Hat Box

If you don't know by now, then you have been living under a rock haha, but my sister is currently at University and luckily, she's close enough to come back whenever she wants :). As a late present for passing my driving test and getting good AS level results and also, just cos she loves me ;), she brought me back a gift from Lush that I have wanted for ages! It's the Lush Think Pink Hatbox that retails at £40!

The box was a lot nicer when I received it but I quickly unwrapped it haha.

This is discontinued now but it is Lush's Yummy Yummy Yummy shower cream wash. I brought one the other month and I am so glad that I received another in my giftset! It smells just like stawberries and I love love love it!

Ring of Roses Butter Cream is like a body butter, except it's actually a soap! This is my new favourite Lush product as it smells absolutely beautiful and it's so moisturising on the skin.

Next up is the Sugar Babe scrub which is a body scrub - of course. This smells gorgeous and also has some kind of moisturiser in the middle. I haven't tried it yet but I will definitely report back!

A Melting Marshmallow Moment which if you read my blog, you'll know I love!

The Creamy Candy Bubblebar which I have wanted for such a long time - I can't wait to use this, it smells gorgeous.

Rockstar Soap. I did love this at first, but I just don't find myself using it. However, this is smaller, so it's probably going to be easier to use. And it smells wondeful.

Sex Bomb Bath Ballistic. Yet another Lush product that smells gorgeous - for a change ;) I can't wait to use it!

The Comforter bubble bar. This is huge! 200g. I used this tonight and cut it up into 4 pieces and there were so many bubbles! And the bath turned a gorgeous deep pink colour. And once again, smelt gorgeous! Love this.

Fair Trade Foot Lotion. This is just beautiful! So moisturising and smells minty and feels minty on the feet.

Think Pink Bath Ballistic. Another one that I can't wait to try out :)

Helping Hands hand lotion - which is pink in this giftset!

Overall, I love all of these products. They smell beautiful, look gorgeous and of course, my sister brought them me so they're even more special.
