MORE: Holiday Essentials

Since my last holiday post I have picked up/gathered together a few more bits and pieces for my holiday and I thought I'd show you what they are. I haven't gone into too much detail about each product as some of them haven't been tried before or I've previously reviewed them (and provided a past link).
I've started washing my hair every 2 days to try and correct it and stop it from being greasy so recently, I've been relying on dry shampoo to revive my hair in between washes. I haven't tried this version before but hopefully it'll smell nice.
I didn't want an expensive toothpaste and ideally, I wanted a travel sized one but I couldn't find one anywhere. So I just went with this cheap Boots one that I can throw away if I don't want to bring it back with me.
Hopefully the weather will be nice and I'll be able to get my legs out so I definitely needed some shaving gel. I've not tried this one before but it smells absolutely gorgeous and the travel sized bottle is so cute!
This is my favourite hand moisturiser so I had to take it away with me. It's the perfect size for travelling with aswell. You can read my full review of this product here.
Boots still have their 3 for 2 offer on and I was in need of a third item so I picked this body spray up. It smells beautiful and I need to find a full sized version. I'm trying very hard not to use it before my holiday but sometimes I can't resist. It smells very clean and fresh and it does add moisture to the skin.
Listerine is my favourite mouthwash as they taste isn't very strong so when I saw the travel sized version I couldn't say no as the bottle is just so cute!
I had to bring this product with me and the fact that it's a small sized bottle made me want to take it even more. I won't go into too much detail about this as I've done a full review here.
I decided that I needed another body wash in case the one that I had wasn't enough so I went into Boots and picked up a Clean On Me as it's my all time favourite body wash.
GLAMGLOW* - £49.99
This is the best face scrub/mask that I've ever tried and because I have a small sample size I decided to take it on holiday with me. You can read my full review here but I'll also just say that it completely transforms your skin in an instant, perfect.
Boots Extracts Bergamot Body Butter - From a Christmas gift set (a similar one can be found here.
This smells beautiful. When I first bought the gift set I stayed away from this body butter as I had no idea (and I still don't) what bergamot is. But whatever it is smells bloody lovely! It's a fresh scent that isn't overpowering and the body butter itself leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
Boots Travel Toothbrush - around £0.50p
I managed to find a travel toothbrush! It was really cheap but I can't seem to find it online anywhere.
I've been using these so much lately and I have one unused one that I thought I'd take on holiday with me. They're pretty big so remove cleanser instantly and they also exfoliate your skin at the same time.
I can be quite messy so I decided to take some wet wipes with me. These ones sooth and refresh the skin whilst cleansing them.

January Favourites

My first monthly favourites post of this year! I didn't really stick to my monthly favourites last year and sometimes they just randomly appeared but I'm going to try my hardest to do these monthly this year. So keep an eye out for them!
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
I really adore this palette. It's very versatile and perfect for creating a nude smokey eye that is suitable for both day time and night time. You can view my full review and swatches here.
Ardell False Eye Lashes
I've been loving wearing false eye lashes at the moment. They really emphasise the eyes and makes them stand out a lot more. These eye lashes are the easiest to use in my opinion and just look so beautiful on. You can see what they look like on here.
He-Shi Express Liquid Tan *
Fake tan has recently become my best friend and I really can't get enough of this He-Shi one. It's easy to apply, doesn't streak and gives a natural looking tan. You can see my (very old) full review of this here.
No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser
I've fallen in love with this cleanser since buying it. A full review will be coming soon but for now I'll just say that it's very refreshing, helps oil, doesn't dry the skin out and also removes all my make up.
Pantene Heat Defence
I wanted to try out a new heat defence and this Pantene one is great because it protects the hair and adds shine at the same time. It also smells beautiful and doesn't weigh the hair down.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush
Dry shampoo is a must have at university as sometimes you're rushed for time. But I also use this one as a sort of hairspray to get volume into my roots. And at the moment, it's half price at Superdrug.
Charlie Body Spray in Essence
I've been loving wearing body spray in the day time and this Charlie one smells so beautiful. It's an 'enchanting creation of zesty fruits, velvety florals and musk.'
Listerine Total Care Zero Mouth Wash
The nicest mouth wash ever! It tastes just like the dentist and oh my, I just can't get enough of it! My favourite mouth wash ever to be honest.
Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy Perfume
My favourite perfume at the moment. It's sweet smelling but also sophisticated. I also love how my friends now recognise this as 'my scent.' You can view my Britney perfume post here.
Avon Colour and Contour in Rose Gold
You can see a swatch of this blusher here. It's so pretty and really brightens up the complexion. The highlight side is also really pretty!
Revlon's Double Twist Mascara
I bought this at the beginning of January as it was on offer for just £5 and I really, really love it. It's very easy to use, grips every eye lash and really extends and volumises. But it doesn't clump up.
Candles
Candles are banned in university hauls but that doesn't stop me! I can't stop using them as they just smell so beautiful. What are your favourite candles?
