November Favourites

I have rediscovered quite a few products this month so thought I would do my first monthly favourites post. I will try my best to post them every month however if I don’t please don’t hold a grudge against me :)
 
 
The first product or products I have been loving this month are two nail polishes; the Nails Inc Nail Polish in Tate, and the Barry M Nail Paint in 351 Yellow Topaz Glitter. Both of these nail polishes are autumnal/Christmassy colours which is one of the reasons I have been wearing them; they also look lovely separate as well as worn together. Overall I would give these 4/5
The next product I have loved this month is the Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara in ‘very black’. I picked this mascara up in the summer when I went to America and have been using it ever since; it creates long full lashes which I usually go for. I would give this mascara 5/5 and cannot wait to pick a couple more up when I go to San Francisco in February.
 
I have just started using the Soap and Glory hand food again this month as it’s starting to get colder meaning my hands have been getting dryer. This hand cream is the best I have ever tried; it keeps my hands moisturised for hours after I have applied it! I recommend this hand cream and give it 5/5
The last two products I have been loving are from Lush; I used to have quite a big obsession with Lush however recently haven’t been using their products until this month! First, the Breath of Fresh Air Skin Toner; this toner is great for taking off face makeup and gives a refreshing feel to my skin. It smells ‘Lush’ with a clean but fragranced scent. The next product is the Vanilla Dee-Lite Body Lotion; again this product is great for the dry skin that comes with winter! It smells amazing and the scent lingers on my skin for the rest of the day! I give both of these products 4/5
If anyone would like separate, more in detail reviews on any of the products, just comment down below and I will try my best to do them for you :)

Lush's Twilight Bath Ballistic

A couple of years ago you could have called me obsessed! However not having been to a Lush store in just under a year meant that my love for Lush had sort of been forgotten! But.... A few weeks ago I got the chance to pay my favourite store a visit!
 
 
I picked up a bath ballistic which I had not tried before; it smelt divine and I was lucky enough to see it in action before I bought it. I was intrigued by the colours and the glitter that appeared in the demonstration so I just knew I had to purchase it! As you can tell by the title and the pictures, I bought the well-known Twilight Bath Ballistic! It was retailed at £3.20 which I thought was quite expensive for a bath bomb I was likely to use once, however I had wanted to try it for a while so I just went for it! It has a strong scent of vanilla which is one of my favourite scents, as well as slight undertones of lavender andcitrus. 
 
After running the water, I tossed the bath ballistic into the bath; like other Lush bath ballistics it instantly fizzed to reveal a vibrant pink colour followed by a sky blue colour. The photo above I grabbed from the Lush website; although the bath ballistic did not create as many bubbles and foam as shown in the picture, the bright colours were created just as in the photo. I noticed a lot of glitter floating around in the water which some people may find annoying however it washed away perfectly fine and there wasn’t any left in the bath although a couple of days later I did find some specs on my skin.
Nethertheless I really enjoyed using this bath ballistic; definitely one to try.
