Bonjour!
So that's January over with for another year - I'm so looking forward to the lighter mornings and evenings - how about you? A mixed bag of favourites and empties over the past month or so then ...
Kerastase Ciment Thermique - been using this since the middle of December and it's a firm favourite! Full review to follow.
L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Shampoo and Conditioner - this duo is coming to an end now. I was pleasantly surprised with it's performance and have re-purchased. Full review here.
Mandara Spa Tropical Blooms Moisturising Shower Gel - just finished, gorgeous smelling product this one with a heady floral scent - reminds me of high summer!
Bare Minerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara - all finished. It gives a good effect once on but is a bit of a smudger. Couldn't make my mind up about it - as you can see from my review here.
Benefit They're Real Mascara - I'm giving up on this one. A magazine freebie and something I've been trying on and off for a few months - but it's not to be. It just doesn't 'do it' for me and I poke myself in the eye every time I try!
Elf Baked Blush in Rich Rose - been loving this for a touch of colour and radiance (both of which have so been needed!) - review here.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment - this finished about a week after my review here and I was gutted and am missing it already! I'm trying another eye cream out but will be re-purchasing as soon as I can snap up a good deal!
Maybelline Dream Touch Lumi Concealer in Nude - used mainly for the under-eye area. You do have to be light handed otherwise it has a tendency to cake up but I would re-purchase as it's quite a good concealer for me.
The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector - one of my all time favourites - especially in Winter - it's hard to beat that's for sure. I've repurchased a few times and will continue to do so!
And last but not least ... why oh why does this have to be empty...
Toblerone has to be one of my all time favourite items of confectionery - the chunks are just the right size for a treat after dinner and because you can't (or shouldn't) really fit it all in your mouth at the same time then one is enough on a school night. I've been allowing myself two chunks at the weekends though - get me! Yes I will be re-purchasing on a fairly regular basis!
What have your favourites been last month? Are you able to fit a whole chunk of Toblerone in your mouth cos I can't!?

Ha at the Toblerone... whilst I am not a fan, I can see your pain ha x

Yes - it's proper pain Rachel! xx
DeleteOMG I LOVE toblerone!!!! I've discovered Dr Hauschka's hand cream and Neem Nail oil - fabulous for cold dry wintry hands...
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanna - that'll be me trying the handcream! xx
DeleteAgree with that Benefit mascara, it really is rubbish and doesn't live up to the hype at all! I like the Mandara Spa range although haven't tried anything with this fragrance. Can't beat a Toblerone!
ReplyDeleteIf you like your flowers (which I know you do Sharron!) you should like the Tropical Blooms fragrance! x
DeleteToblerone is up there in my top 5 - yum. I'm after a new concealer but don't want a cakey one. Any recommendations?? x
ReplyDeleteConcealer is quite a personal choice isn't it Donna? I do like the Maybelline above but No 7 Instant Radiance is good too, also Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection. I also like Mally eye brightener and I hear the MAC + Bobbi Brown concealers are good. So much choice! x
DeleteNearly finished our Toblerone... so yummy, definitely have to get another ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteI'm buying one at the weekend Sasha! xx
DeleteGlad I'm not the only one who didn't like they're real. Bought the triple resist after your review. I'll look forward to using it
ReplyDeleteHope you like it Gaelle! x
DeleteLol @ the Toblerone empty!! I purchased the Elvive shampoo & need to get the conditioner! So far I likey too! My hair is in right state atm & needs a cut badly! I need to book in asap! Ax
ReplyDeleteI know Andrea - gutted about the Toblerone! x
DeleteI love Toblerone Jenny:) Thanks for your kind comments on my blog! Have a good weekend:)
