VERY Belated Favourites time!
Sleek Blush in Rose Gold
I did feature this quite recently in my latest YouTube video (which you can watch here.) I bought it a while back as it's a dupe for a certain NARS blush. The NARS one is £23, whilst the Sleek version is £4.49 and they're really pretty similar!
It's lovely, with a little bit of gold shimmer in it to make you look a little more radiant. It looks quite dark in my photos, but it doesn't look remarkably red once applied. It's actually quite a pink colour when on your cheeks. It's highly pigmented, so you don't even have to apply loads to get a good coverage.
You can buy this online for £4.49 from Superdrug by clicking here.
MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Crosswires
I've been using this lipstick quite a lot lately! It's been described by MAC as "clean pinky orange". Because it's Cremesheen, it's quite moisturising, which is great for this time of year when it's still pretty cold outside!
You can buy this from any MAC store or online for £15.50 by clicking here.
Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
This is an exciting new mascara from Benefit, which I'm sure everybody's already heard of! It came free in a recent edition of Elle Magazine and I'm really happy with it! I prefer it to They're Real and Bad Gal to be honest!
As usual with Benefit mascaras, it's going to cost £19.50 and if you fancy trying it, you can get it directly from Benefit's website by clicking here.
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
Yes, I know I keep banging on about this, but it's been a bit of a skincare saviour of late. I've been suffering from horrible spots and has been my go-to moisturiser to deal with the zits. I wrote a full review of this last summer, which you can read here, so I won't go into too much detail here.
You can buy this from Boots for £15.50 by clicking here.
Vo5 Smoothly Does It Serum
I'm not normally a big fan of using serums on my hair, but I love this! I picked it up a few months ago when it was on offer in Boots, but only started using it recently. I'm really pleased with how smooth and sleek my hair looks with this.
Seriously, taming my hair is usually a big job... It's normally an arduous battle with the frizz, but it's nowhere near as bad with this. And it's relatively cheap too!
You can pick this up from Boots for £4.19 by clicking here.

Is it really that time again? Here are my faves from July!
Sleek Contouring Kit
 |
| Teddies need to contour too, you know. |
I bought this in light, because I'm so pale... (It's genuinely becoming a catchphrase now...)
It's a fantastic product. Admittedly, I've not really used the bronzer section of this kit, just using the highlighter instead at the moment. I really like it, but I only use it on days where I need a little more sparkle.
The highlighter is sparkly, obviously... The bronzer is a matte one. I'm opting for a shimmery Natural Collection £1.99 bronzer instead at the moment. (Which has lasted absolutely ages and it does seem like it might well outlive me at this point...)
At £6.49 it's a really great value version of contouring kits made by other (much more expensive) brands.
Inecto Coconut Glossing Spray
I LOVE this! I'm not sure if it's readily available. I've been buying it every now and again from Bodycare. It smells amazing. Really coconut-ty. (Obviously.)
I also love this because it makes my hair really shiny. If I'm having a bad hair day, a spritz of this before blow-drying seems to help me to look a little bit less disheveled than usual.
I'd definitely recommend this to people who suffer from the dreaded frizz!
Bourjois Little Round Pot - Shade 54
 |
| This is after months of use and there's still loads left! |
It's shimmery, but not too much. It's perfect for day and night wear.
The pot has a little mirror and also a little applicator that bends over the mound of product. It closes with a magnet as well, so it ensures that it won't open by accident in your make-up bag, break into a powder and then go everywhere...
Bourjois offer loads of different shades and this product retails at £6.99.
Palmer's Coco Butter Lip Balm
 |
| No, I couldn't be bothered to take it out of the packaging. |
At £1.89 it's not pricey and they're easily picked up in Boots or other 'drugstores'.
Boots DermaCare Daily Moisturising Lotion
 |
| Teddies need moisturising too. |
This one's really only for those who suffer from the dreaded dry skin or eczema, like me. It's wonderful. A bottle will easily last me a fortnight or so.
There are different types of this that you can buy which are priced slightly differently. They're coloured-coded though, which helps! Yellow is cheaper than green... About a pound cheaper. It is more watery, but it's much cheaper, so bear that in mind.
The one pictured (green one) currently retails at £3.89, which is why I prefer the yellow one at £2.59.
It's a really well-hidden product. Boots seem to hide their own brand products (which are often really good) on bottom shelves.
Thanks for reading!
