January 2013 Favourites


This month I have spent quite a lot of time organising and clearing out my collection of beauty products this month and have been amazed at some of the things I have found. It's so easy to get stuck into a routine with beauty products and reorganising your collection is a great way to rediscover some treats you might have forgotten about. So with that said, this month's favourite are a collection of both old and new goodies!

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Deep Moisture Body Milk

The world is split into two types of people- those who love sickly sweet scents and those who do not. I myself, am the former. Although this product claims to smell like milk, it reminds me more of cake batter, sweet and vanilla-y. The lotion works really well and keeps my skin hydrated all day. I put this on before bed each night and I wake up each morning with soft, smooth skin. At £10.00 for 500ml, one bottle really does go a long way and is easy to apply with a pump top. The best thing about it is how well it sinks into the skin. I love that I don't have to sit their for hours rubbing the product in!

Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean

As you might be able to tell, I have rediscovered my love for Soap & Glory products this month. Aside from their pretty packaging, I have found them to have some really good quality products for a price that doesn't break the bank and are easily accessible as they are available at Boots. I've been on a bit of a skincare detox this month and found this cleanser to be really light and refreshing leaving my skin feeling really smooth and clean after use. Also, as it isn't a foaming cleanser I found it quite moisturising and not at all messy- just apply a couple of pumps to dry skin, rise off with a wet flannel and you're ready to go!

Marc Jacobs Lola

I am a perfume hoarder. There, I've said it. One of my new year's resolutions this time round was to not buy any more. So in keeping with my promise to myself I went digging through my collection to find a fragrance that would keep me going through the last of the winter months and into Spring. Lola by Marc Jacobs has always been a favourite of mine and is perfect for this time of year. It's not easy to describe scents in writing but the best way I can explain it is as a darker floral; not quite bright and summery but fresh enough to see you into Spring.

Ayuuri Natural Moisturising Indian Rose Face Cream

I received this product in a Glossybox a couple of months back and when I saw it, I didn't have high hopes for it. However, from this I learned not to judge a book by its cover! I'm not usually a fan of rose scents, but the Indian Rose frangrance of this face cream is really subtle and not overpowering at all. This has worked really well alongside the Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean to keep my skin really smooth and hydrated. I recommend this for anyone with sensitive or dry skin as it works wonders!

Biosilk Silk Therapy

I have Glossybox to thank for this product too. Towards the end of last year I received a sample of this product and fell in love with everything about it. Don't be fooled by the perhaps uninspiring packaging, this little beauty has done wonders for my hair over the last couple of months and smells absolutely AMAZING (sort of like an expensive hair salon). I rub a little of this serum through the ends of my hair 3 or 4 times a week and it really does make a difference. I'd really recommend this product if you have dry or damaged ends or you are trying to grow your hair.

What have your favourite products been this month? Let me know in the comments or send me a link to your blog post if you have one- I'd love to read it!
