Blogmas Day 5 - MAC Creme Cup Lipstick Review

As mentioned in my November Favourites post, MAC's Creme Cup has been my favourite lip colour recently. I bought this during the Summer and used it a few times then, but I've been using it a lot more now. It's not the most Autumn/Wintery lip colour, but I love it. I also love that it's the exact same shade as the nail colour I'm wearing in this photograph, which is Fun in the Gondola by Essie.

It's a lovely nude/pink colour which is only just a bit lighter than my natural colour, so it's nice and subtle to wear on a daily basis.

Blogmas Day 4 - November Favourites

That time again, my favourites of the month. I feel like I've used quite a few different things than what I'm used to this month because of the weather changing.

I got a new eyeliner this month since I started doing the Avon. I got one of their eyeliners as I had always used one of their glimmersticks back when I was in high school. It's called SuperShock and it's very, very black, exactly what I want in my eyeliner. For lip colour, again, it's my MAC Creme Cup which I've mentioned before. I've wore this pretty much everyday in November and it's looking to be the same in December. Another lip product I've been loving is my Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. My lips are always super dry and they've got even worse in the cold weather so I've tried to use this at night before I go to bed. For nail colour, a nice festive colour, it's Jag-u-are by Essie, again. I've literally been wearing this colour for about 2 weeks solid now, and I just keep repainting it every time it chips.

Another favourite from Avon, and it's their Senses Sparkling 'Celebrate Me' shower gel. It's said to smell like Cassis, Rose and Amber. I don't know what that smells like, but I do know that it smells really good. I've been using this a good few times in the shower during the month of November, as well as my Lush products. For scents, my favourite has been one a fragrance mist from Victoria's Secret, called With A Kiss. I tried to repurchase this during my trip in New York but they don't seem to sell it anymore and I loved it. I'm so glad I kept around half the bottle from last year as it now reminds me of the holiday season. It smells like sparkling berries and magnolia flower if that helps anyone who hasn't smelt it before.

My food favourite for the month has been these Belgian Chocolate Flaked Truffles from Asda. Another one that I was obsessed with last year and I'm so glad they came back in this year, so good!

What were your favourites from the month of November? Any recommendations of anything new I should try?

Essie Fun In The Gondola & Barry M Pink Silver Glitter Polish

I'm off work for a few days which means, I can finally paint my nails!

I decided to use Essie 'Fun in the Gondola' and Barry M 'Pink Silver Glitter' nail polishes together and do a little alternative french manicure. This Essie nail polish is my new absolute favourite nail polish. It's a really gorgeous rosey pink colour, and as mentioned in my August Favourites post which you can read here, I think it's very very similar to MAC's Creme Cup.

Firstly I applied some of my Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails as a sort of base coat, and also because my nails are in terrible condition and I'm trying to help them! Once this was dry, I applied my Essie nail polish and left it to dry.

For the tip I applied my Barry M nail polish which is such a gorgeous colour, and reminds me of the OPI nail polish, Sugar Daddy, which I've used in a few other nail posts. I just kept my hand steady and applied it freely, but if you don't have a steady hand, I'm sure you could use some nail tips as a guide.

It's not very season appropriate since it's coming into Fall/Autumn, but I love these colours and really wanted to get some use out of them.
