Can it really be a whole year since I did a round up of annual favourites - time flies when you're having 'blogging' fun! I've used quite a few worthwhile products last year but these are the ones that stand out for me ...
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray - a magazine freebie which has become a firm (not literally!) favourite for volume. I tend to save for special occasions and as soon as I finish my existing plethora of hair products I will repurchase. Review here.
Gatineau Radiance Gommage - this has become my favourite exfoliating product, brightening, smoothing yet gentle - review here.
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil - I first used a travel size on holiday and liked it so much I decided to get the full size. Great cleanser, very effective - review here.
Vichy Aqualia Serum (review here), Vichy Idealia BB Cream (review here) and Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light (review here) - I know this must seem like a 'Vichy' tribute but these products really suit my skin, combination/sensitive/dehydrated with eczema prone areas, I'm on my 3rd serum and 2nd pot of cream and will repurchase the BB when it finishes.
Soap & Glory Super-Colour FabuLipstick in Naked Beige - my perfect nude, it's so easy to wear. Review here.
Mally Evercolour Waterproof Eyeliners in Midnight and Black Violet - although I only reviewed this duo at the start of December I've been using them for months and love them to bits, remember the line 'Only the 'crumbliest, flakiest chocolate - tastes like chocolate never tasted before ...' - well substitute the words silkiest, creamiest, eyeliner and application in the appropriate places and you should get the picture! Review here.
Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate - a product I've been using for the past few months - a proper plumper! My skin loves it a few times a week under moisturiser. Review will follow.
Nice lemons! Yes, the humble yet mighty lemon - I drink a cup of hot boiled water with a few squeezes of lemon juice, first thing, most mornings and I think it really helps to keep skin clear as well as a multitude of other benefits. You get used to the early morning 'zing' (I'm not being rude here!) and I actually miss it when I don't have time to have my lemon water!

The S&G lipstick seems so moisturising and rich, I definitely have to try it! Xx
ReplyDeleteMakeup by Candlelight
It's one of my favourites Charlotte! xx
DeleteI'm using that cleansing oil now actually. Not sure I am as keen on it as you Jen, gonna read your review again, perhaps I'm not using enough. Nothing is helped by having a bloody great dressing on the side of your forehead! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame Sharron - my skin really does like it! Hopefully the dressing will be off soon xx
DeleteI've just started with the lemon in hot water and it's actually very nice!
ReplyDeleteYes you do get used to it x
DeleteI'm a green tea girl & drink plenty everyday but I will give the lemon water a go as another friend also swears by it! I love your product reviews & would love to try a few of these out! Ax
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! I can't seem to get into green tea but may try again! xx
DeleteI've decided my next moisturiser will be Vichy Idealia! And I will give lemon water a try!
ReplyDeleteI want to try the Vichy Idealia Serum next Gaelle! x
DeleteReally want to try the DHC Cleansing Oil even more now! Great post :) x

I'm loving it Evelyn - so glad I got the large size! x
DeleteI have been thinking about trying the lemon in hot water, You have convinced me I should try it. Will be hard to give up that first cup of tea though ;) x
ReplyDeleteYou do get addicted to the lemon first thing Sam! Then I have my tea later! x
DeleteI love love LOVE the DHC cleansing oil but hated the Bumble and Bumble thickening spray. You are welcome to my B+B spray freebie if you want it Jenny x
