It's that time again! For my monthly top 5 favourite products this month I've found myself reaching for these again and again;
By Terry Baume De Rose SPF15 7ml - £32.50 Spacenk.com
This is available in both a pot and a tube, I opted for the tube as I'd prefer not to stick my fingers into pots where possible. I'm not the greatest fan of rose scented beauty products, but luckily this isn't too over powering and the moisture it provides my lips is well worth putting up with the scent. I've struggled with lip allergies for a few years now and this has definitely helped maintain smooth crack and flake free lips; clearly a handbag staple of mine. Have already repurchased in preparation for a cold and wet UK winter!
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado 14g - £20 Kiehls.co.uk
I hated this when I first bough it as it seemed to leave a weird film and not sink in very well. However, I've now learnt the trick to make this work! I take a small dab on my ring finger, and then using my other ring finger, I warm the product up by making small circular motions with my fingers together; once warmed I tap it under my eyes and around orbital bone. I've used this both night and day and haven't seen an issues with my makeup application. A wonderfully rich eye cream; helping to combat those pesky under eye wrinkles
Gucci Rush Eau De Toilette 30ml - £45 Boots.com
An old favourite, I used to wear this fragrance back in my sixth form college days (at the age of 17/18) and this scent brings back a lot of fun memories; so I couldn't help but buy this on a recent shopping trip. Admittedly I'm not a fan of the packaging, this red plasticy square leaves a lot to be desired, but I love the fragrance inside! I'm terrible at describing scents, but will give it a go! To me this is delicately sweet floral fragrance which packs a punch of seductive warmth and a burst of sexy... not sure that does it justice, but this has amazing staying power on me and doesn't disappear after only an hour like most others do. Boots describe it as "Gucci Rush is an ecstatic trip, sinfully cool and enticingly seductive. With an addictive combination of florals and spices, it reflects an extreme feeling of pleasure" Ooh er missus!
Still Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick in Patina 3ml - £16 Marksandspencer.com
Pictured above is a mini version of this lipstick which I got in a seasonal holiday set of 3, however Patina was my favourite shade in the collection and therefore I have already purchased the 3ml version for home whilst this mini 1.5ml stays in my handbag. Patina is one of those colours I can only describe as "my lips but better". A rosy nude which perfectly complements my fair skin and give me that more polish appearance whilst having a lot of staying power. At present I'm not sure I'd agree this stays all day... it does stay for a while, but drinking a lot of hot tea in a working day this does require a few touch ups
MAC Eye Brows in Spiked - £14 Maccosmetics.co.uk
Listed by MAC as a mechanical self-propelling, self-sharpening eye brow pencil this is a simple pencil with a lot to offer. Definitely not as waxy as other pencils, this pencil provides shape, definition and colour to your brows in a flash. Don't press too hard or you'll be left with very drawn on brows, using a soft flicking motion this fills my brows beautifully and sets to stay all day. Fun fact, I actually used this pencil for my wedding makeup (that's how much I trust it to do a good job!)
Of course there were many other products I've been using and loving recently, but they didn't make the cut this month. Be sure to leave comments below on any products you think I should be testing out. Thanks! x
