October Favourites :)

Hello!
Where has this year flown? Hate to mention it but it's nearly Christmas!! Eeek! Unfortunately my camera and my laptop are not seeing eye to eye so I haven't been able to put a picture in this blog so I have put as many links to products as possible so you can check them all out (if you want to!).

Skincare
Good Things 5 Minute Facial  - this is an amazingly fruity fresh face mask I have mentioned in my blogs before so I won't bore you with it again. If you haven't tried it, then why not????? You can buy this from Superdrug here. It's currently on special offer so its even more cheap than usual!
Olay Face Wipes - I didn't pay full price for my Olay wipes, got them in a cheapie shop for 99p! I can't say I would pay full price for them but I ran out of my Osiris Avise wipes (you get 3 packs of those for 99p and they are similar in quality and effectiveness) and so I needed an alternative. The Olay cloths are really strong and they feel smooth against your skin. I hate wipes that feel scratchy and horrible on your face. Right at the end of the month I found my old favourite wipes in Boyes and so I will be going back to them next month, but the Olay wipes have been a lovely alternative while they lasted!

Hair Care
Superdrug Naturals Tea Tree and Peppermint Shampoo and Conditioner - My hairdresser suggested i should get some tea tree shampoo because I get a dry irritated scalp but greasy hair, which is a total pain - moisturising shampoos make the grease worse, shampoos for greasy hair make my scalp more irritated. So I was willing to give anything a go. You can get the shampoo and conditioner for just £1.75! There are a range of other types available to suit any hair type and they all smell divine! If you click here you will get through to the tea tree and peppermint shampoo I use but scroll down and you will find all the other lovely options available to try.
Wella Lifetex Volume Protein Mask - This mask claims to strengthen fine hair and provide it with more volume. I was a bit suspicious as it was only £1.99 from Home Bargains, but Wella is a recognised hair care brand so I gave it a go. It is lovely, just comb through hair after shampooing and leave for 3 to 5 mins before rinsing. It smells great and leaves my hair feeling smooth and silky (frizz almost eliminated!) and it does have noticably more volume than usual. I went back and bought a couple more of these as you can never guarantee how long something will be in Home Bargains!!

Make Up
E.L.F Studio Flat Top Powder Brush - £3.50 - I have tried a lot of e.l.f products but I was reluctant to try their brushes because I thought something so cheap couldn't possibly be good, how wrong was I???? This brush is amazing. The bristles are soft but strong (no bits falling out all over your face) and the brush is quite dense so you can use it to apply wet or dry products. Despite this being a powder brush I actually use it to apply my foundation as well as blush and bronzer. Its a great all round brush and at the price you can't go wrong. If you like e.l.f (think most people do!) then follow them on Facebook to keep up to date about when there are any special offers like 20% off or free delivery.
E.L.F Studio Eyebrow Kit - £3.50 - This is a useful little kit which is the perfect size to pop in your handbag. I have it in medium, with me having light skin but dark hair this is the perfect colour. I don't use this daily but I do use it to fill my brows in for a night out.
Witch Tinted Moisturiser - I havent been using this daily so I can't vouch for it's blemish fighting properies but it is a good tinted moisturiser. It gives more coverage than you would usually expect from a tinted moisturiser. The only bad thing about it is the lack of shades available - you have to get light or medium so you could probably get a better shade to suit you from a product like the natural collection tinted moisturisers but light does fine for me :)

Body
Mama K's Coconut Body Souffle - This is something a friend's mum, the lovely Carolyn, made. It didn't have a name so I made one up! This moisturiser feels moussey when you first get it out of the tub then as soon as you start to rub it in it 'melts' into the skin. It really is the best moisturiser! I put it on at night and the coconut smell is still going strong in the morning. I love coconut :) Unfortunately this isn't available to buy yet but if/when it is I will definately be letting you know!

Hope you have enjoyed this and maybe spotted some new products to try!
