November Favourites!

Favourites time again, guys. This month's favourites are again, pretty predictable but hey, ho. Crazy to think that next month will be the last favourites of 2012!

Favourite Hair Product - Granier Fructis Repair and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. You all know how much I have raved about this, how could I not? Still going strong, I am loving this hair care system. I have a full review a few posts down if you're interested. It leaves me hair feeling super soft and totally manageable. Soft and healthy is definitely a good hair look.

Favourite Nail Product - Water Transfers. Probably my best purchase this month was my water transfers off eBay. My first was obviously my Obama transfers but I have bought quite a few more since. They are super easy to use and add a little something to a nail look. You can get pretty much any design, even do them yourself. They're cheap and easy, fun and quirky. How can you go wrong?

Favourite Make Up Product - MAC Eyeshadow in Fig. 1. What can I say about this shadow? I spoke about it in the haul and the Coloured Brows post. I'm using it everyday and carrying a second in my bag for eyebrow touch ups. I am loving having purple brows and I seriously owe that lovely MAC MUA a pint.

















Favourite Tool - Angled Eyeliner Brush. This item sort of relates to the one above. You can't do your brows without a brush and that is what I use this for. I like jsing an angled brush on my brows as I find it's easy to get a defined line and also quick to fill in. You get a lot of control with an angled brush. This specific brush was from IMATS in 2010 and is 1/8 of an inch.

Favourite Accessory - Hammered Gold Ring. I have wore this ring quite a lot this month. And I really wanted to add something different that wasn't my bargain 80p earrings. I like how simple yet effective this ring is. It's really nothing special but really adds to an outfit. I'm totally loving gold right now too so it's great just to add that extra something.

Favourite Fashion Item - A Beanie. Ah, the humble beanie. I'm all for a hat no matter what the season and I have been loving wearing a fedora or a beanie this season. This one is a personal favourite as I just love the colours - it goes with most of my wardrobe this season. Whether you go chic, totally over the top or bobble, you really can't go wrong with a hat, just dress it right and style your hair around your hat! My number one tip.

Favourite Miscellaneous - Kindle Fire HD. Could it be anything else? I use it numerous times a day from blogging, tweeting, Skyping, making notes, shopping lists and of course, reading! I find it easier to use (due to size) than the iPad and over £200 cheaper. What else can I say?

Updated Hair Care inc Garnier Repair and Shine!

I know I said in that haul post yesterday that I just haven't found a good hair care set up yet, well I think I have. The Garnier Fructis Repair and Shine is amazing. It left my hair feeling really soft and smooth and it had a super shine to it.

I washed my hair as usual, leaving the conditioner on for about five minutes. After finding it felt hydrated and really soft. I blow dried my fringe but let my hair dry naturally. When it had dried it felt healthy; smooth and soft. It looked amazing too. Even when it wasn't straightened (my hair is a little wavy but quite frizzy naturally) it still looked really nice.

I always wash my hair at night and then straighten it the next day. When I straightened it, I found it really easy to work with. It wasn't tangley at all and it straightened really well. It stayed straight too! After I wash it I sometimes find my hair doesn't article very well and stays a little frizzy. It looked really nice when it was all done. I still can't believe how soft it feels! I think this is it. I may actually repurchase some shampoo and conditioner! I need to go and see if they have a deep conditioner or anything else in the range as my hair is obviously taking really well to it.

A Toiletry Haul!

I know plenty of people do haul posts on their make up buys but there is still a lack of general beauty buy posts. I had to pick up a few things today so thought I‘d share them with you. I usually go to Boots or Superdrug depending on what area of town I'm in. Today it was Superdrug.

Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Face Wipes. I would never dream of using any other cleansing wipes to take my make up off. I've found that these don't irritate my skin at all and do the job quickly and easily. They're also great for a quick brush spot clean or a make up touch up.

Colgate Max White One Active. I love this toothpaste. I always use a whitening one due to the amount of coffee I drink but I hate those baking powder ones that taste salty. This one is really minty and really does whiten. Not too sure about the ‘new look ‘ though, I liked the old box better!

Palmolive Soft and Gentle Extra Fresh Deodorant in Lotus and Watermelon. I usually change my deodorant up every time I buy a new one. I chose this one because its scent is lotus and watermelon and my God, its beautiful. Its a nice fresh scent though, not too overpowering.

L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray in Diamond Shine. I love Elnett hairspray. I won't ever use another. It has fabulous hold with little weight to it and obviously, it brushes out too. I bought the diamond shine one this time which I have never used before but I am loving sleek hair at the moment, I thought the added shine would be great. I always get a handbag sized one to carry around with me.

Garnier Fructis Repair and Shine Restoring Shampoo and Conditioner. Again, I've never used this before. I've not found an amazing hair care that I swear by, so I tend to buy a different one every time. I bought this again for the shine factor. My hair isn't in bad condition at the moment but you can't over do it. It smells amazing, very fruity. It contains olive, avocado and shea oil so if this doesn't do it, nothing will!
