September Favourites..

Doing favourites seems like an easy way to get into the swing of this blogging lark, so here are the products I reached for most in September! 




  • Natural Collection Vanilla Body Spray- a lovely, cheap body spray that lasts for hours.  I wear this every day!
  • Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Alabaster- the only foundation I have ever found that is pale enough for me. Quite full coverage, really nice finish.   
  • Ben Nye Lip Brush- really good for applying lipstick, especially if you haven't got a lipliner in the right colour.
  • Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser- gorgeous for cleansing the skin and removing makeup. Has a really nice texture that turns oil like on the skin, and smells like lavender.
  • 17 Lastin Fix Lipstick in New black - dark red/purple colour, which isn't matte or drying on the lips
  • The Pink Cow shower gel in Mint Candy- already spoken about this, i'm totally obsessed!
  • Clarins Wonderlength mascara in black- great mascara with a really thin wand. Lengthens  amazingly, and adds thickness if wiggled at the base of lashes.
  • Cosmic Radiance perfume- Britney's tenth scent, I own them all! This one smells a bit like Lenor or some other fabric softener, not too overpowering or strong.
  • Cocoa Butter vaseline- smells delish! 
If anyone else has any favourites, feel free to write them or link them below, I love reading them! x

Gorgeous shower gels!

If, like me, you are always on the hunt for the perfect shower/bath gels, then you are in luck! Recently, whilst browsing in Boots, I spotted a range of bath products which looked heavenly. The range is from a company called The Pink Cow, (although some of the bottles now say The Little Bubble Co on the front, confusingly...) and I am so glad i found them! They come in an amazing variety of flavours (or should I say smells?!) including Vanilla Biscuit, Ginger Bread, Strawberry Sundae, Coconut Creme, and, (my favourite!) mint candy. They also do a few body scrubs in the range, but these are a bit harder to find. All the shower/bath gels are 500ml and retail at £2.99, although they can often be found on offer at £2 in Boots. These lather beautifully on the skin, smell good enough to eat, and create mountains of bubbles if you use them as a bubble bath. I have tried, so far, the Mint Candy, Vanilla Biscuit, and Ginger Bread. Mint candy is my personal fave, I am not a fan of zingy mint scents, such as the 0riginal Source one, but this one smells like a mint humbug! Very sweet, and very minty. If they made a perfume that smelled like this, I would snap it up! I now use these every day, and have bought lots, some as spares for myself, and some as christmas presents! At such good value, what's not to love?!
