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?

The Price Of My Face.


I've saw a few people do this tag such as Jessica at The Mod Mermaid and have been so excited to do it for ages. I would have done it a few weeks ago but I had some new items planned for purchase and wanted to wait until I'd tried and used them to see if they were going to be some new additions!



Firstly I'll start with my face make up. A recent addition was this Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream which I use in the lightest shade. It's more of a tinted moisturiser than anything and I find it really good for a foundation base.

The foundation I'm currently using is the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in 00 - Alabaster (again, the lightest shade).

The concealer I recently purchased (and adore) is the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC 15.


Next is my eye make up. I use my Naked palette by Urban Decay every single day and I think it might be one of the best purchases I've made, make up wise.

For my eyeliner I use Ink for Eyes, also by Urban Decay in Zero.

My mascara is FAIRYDROPS. The one in the photo above is the mini one, but I have the full sized one which I've started to use since taking this photo so I'll be using the price for the full sized product.

My eyebrow pencil is the Artists Eye Pencil by Estee Lauder in 02 Soft Smudge Brown.


I'm putting two for this even though I don't use them together. I reapply lip balm approx. every hour so it most definitely had to be included. I'm currently using the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in Cherry Me.

My everyday lip colour is a Revlon Lip Butter which I use mostly in 050 - Berry Smoothie.

I'll be putting the prices in dollars since I have a lot of readers who use this currency, and also because the FAIRYDROPS mascara is US only. Then I'll show the current exchange rate! Now for the scary part...

  • Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream - $7.44
  • Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick - $42.00
  • MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - $18.00
  • Naked Palette by Urban Decay - $50.00
  • Ink For Eyes by Urban Decay - $23.50
  • FAIRYDROPS - $24.00
  • Artists Eye Pencil by Estee Lauder - $25.00
  • Maybelline Baby Lips - $2.99
  • Revlon Lip Butter - $6.49
Total - $199.42

Total (In pounds sterling going by today's exchange rate) - £131.58

Um, what? Excuse me! Looking at the photograph that I showed at the start you would most definitely not think that these few things cost this much money! It's hard to believe how much money I carry around on my face everyday.

I tag everyone to do this post as I'm very curious now as to how much other people wear on their face everyday!
