With Christmas coming up (100 days to go as I write this!) I have been online shopping a lot recently so that I can get some ideas for beauty products I want as a present -yes Cal this is your hint... So I thought that I'd make a list of all the products I have my eye on as I also love reading these posts.
Iconic London Illuminator Drops - Link
I have had my eyes on this highlighter ever since Steph from Cocochic first tested it in a video and made me fall in love. I like liquid highlighters which are natural but also pack a punch, with the original shade a light hand can look really natural and glowing from within.
Elf aqua Beauty Molten Liquid Eye Shadow - Link
These Liquid eye shadows look amazing! You all should know by now that if I can be lazy I will so liquid eye shadows are my favourite invention ever because they are so easy to use. The shade range of this product is perfect for Christmas with all the golden glitter shades.
Beauty Pie Foundation - Link
I have had my eye on this brand ever since it first appeared on the scene but I've seen a mixture of reviews on the products and a lot of people debating whether it is worth the subscriber fee but I still want to try it. I love the packaging of all the products and the foundation really is the product I want to try the most.
Loreal Nude Cushion Foundation - Link
Even though this is a reasonably cheap foundation on the drug store I am still to try it and I can't wait. I love light foundations which make my skin look dewy and healthy and a cushion foundation sounds right up my street. Every time I go into Boots or Superdrug I always forget to pick one of these foundations up so that is my mission in the next month.. If I remember.
Bare Mineral Complexion Rescue - Link
Everyone seems to have this bb gel in their makeup collection and this sounds like a great product for dry skin which I am really suffering with at this moment. Again I like to wear light formulas which show my skin through them so this sounds perfect for me.

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette - Link
Who doesn't want this palette? I think by Christmas everyone will have this palette in their collection if they don't have it already. I live for brown plum tones with a bit of shimmer especially during the end of the year when all I am wearing in mustard, brown and black clothing.

Stila Magnificent Metal Glitter Glow Liquid Eyeshadow - Link
These liquid eye shadows are absolutely beautiful! I love liquid eye shadows for nights out because I am lazy and don't know how to blend properly so these are a god send when I want to look good on a night out. I want all the gold glitter shades which basically 6 out of the 9 shades.

My monthly favorites started out as a huge list of products when I first started blogging and now I find it hard to think of 5 things that I am in love with during the month. So that is why I now have a series called 'Three things that I have been loving in...'
I am currently eating a packet of chocolate chip cookies on the sofa in a big baggy t-shirt watching The Mindy Project... Loving life right now!
I have quite a few favourites this month to talk about and most of them are beauty related which I have either bought or been sent in a Birchbox.
I'll start with the two bath items that I have been loving this month. The first is the Soap and Glory Clean Girls body wash. It makes my skin feel so soft, it is really creamy and lathers up really well so you don't need to use a lot of product, meaning the bottle lasts a long time. Plus the fact the bottle is huge!
The second bath product was a present from my good friend Ashleigh for Christmas I think... it may have been my birthday I cant remember haha. It is a body wash by The Sugar Pop Company in raspberry ripple, who I have researched but I cant find a website, Facebook page or shop for. One of the things I love about the product is that it smells like pink lemonade, I never knew how amazing pink lemonade smelt until I used this product. Other than the smell, the body wash is really refreshing and leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth.
The rest of my monthly favourites are all makeup products. Two products I have re-discovered recently and haven't stopped using since then. These are the Rimmel Stay Matte Mouse foundation and my Concealer palette. I ordered my concealer palette last year after reading loads of reviews on these types of palettes and I found it so useful and handy in covering spots. You can purchase one really cheap here and you can read my blog post review on the Rimmel Stay Matte Mouse here.
My last three favourite products I have recently purchased or received in my last few birchboxes. The first is the Sleek Contour Palette in Medium 374. I love this palette so much! There has not been one day since I bought it that I haven't used it. I find all the colours useful and think they all work really well together. The shades are just right for my skin tone, I did think after purchasing it that I should have looked at the light shades but it does work for me. Everytime I wear it I do get compliments about my makeup (even from my boyfriend who doesn't understand how it works) so I have faith in the product.
My next product is the Supergoop CC cream in light to medium. I got this in a previous birch box and I have tried CC and BB creams before and not been too impressed. Even so I tried this one not expecting much and to my surprise I loved how it worked on my skin, it gave me a tan and meant I didn't need to put anything else on my face, not even my trusty Sleek contour palette. Although the tube is the smallest thing I have ever seen it has lasted me a good few wears and it isn't empty yet, I do have another small tube of it but I don't know if I would pay £20 (32$) for it on the website. I might have to try and find a drugstore CC cream that works as good for me.
The last item I have to talk about is mascara I got in this months Birchbox. It is the Model CO Power lash black mascara. I haven't got a mascara from Birchbox yet and I love my first one! It makes my lashes look so big and full and lasts all day. I have a big box of mascaras but this one is fast becoming one of my favourites.
And that is all my favourites for this month, if you have tried any or know of any products similar (and cheaper) to anything mentioned, let me know! :) xx
P.s. check me out posting a monthly favourites post before the month is out and not a week (or two) into it, Go Me!
