November Favourites

To be completely honest with you guys November has been quite a hectic month. I don’t know if I mean that in a good or a bad way, but it was hectic. Because of that I didn’t get to spend much time applying makeup and testing new things, but because I did shop quite a bit at the end of October and the beginning of November I still got to try quite a few great products. Today I’m going to show you which ones ended up being my favourites. If you’re interested in finding out, make sure you continue reading!

Let’s start off with my top 2 favourites of this month. I’ve been using these products literally non-stop since I bought them and I’m still so in love with them. The first product is the Dior Star foundation. I bought this on my birthday and at first I was scared it was going to be a product I’d regret buying because it has quite a dewy finish and the shade is quite yellow, but my lord. This stuff looks absolutely stunning on the skin. It makes my skin look flawless, natural, dewy and healthy all at once and it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It applies beautifully and it stays gorgeous all day. This is literally the best product I have ever tried.

Another Dior favourite is this Dior Splendor 2016 blush. I bought this quite randomly but I haven’t regretted that decision at all. It really changed my blush game and all I want now are more and more Dior blushes. They just have something to them. They have this satiny feeling, they apply beautifully and it stays put al day. It’s literally the best!

Another thing that has made my beauty heart feel warm this month is the YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in the shade Beige Blouse. I never knew I was one day going to find a lipstick that was going to be even prettier and even better than my beloved MAC Peach Blossom, but guys: this is it! This lipstick is just gorgeous. It’s the perfect colour for everyday, the texture is just indescribably amazing and overall it’s just a dream to put this on your lips in the morning.

Another lip favourite is this MAC Patentpolish Lip Liner I got from my boyfriend for my birthday. It’s in the shade Spontaneous and it’s absolutely stunning. It’s a very nice product to work with because it’s shaped like a big crayon, the texture of it is really comfortable and the colour is just really pretty for everyday wear. I love it!

With that being said let’s move onto a Tarte favourite. I think you guys know really well how much I adore the brand Tarte. A while ago I bought another one of their palettes and as I expected I fell in love with it. It’s the Eyes & Cheeks Palette and it comes with 6 gorgeous neutral eyeshadows and a stunning blush. It’s the perfect palette for everyday wear as well as for on the go and I’ve been using it a ton!

Another Tarte product I’ve fallen in love with is the Tarte Coconut Lipstick. I haven’t worn it as much as I would’ve liked, but the times I did wear it I loved it a lot! It’s a gorgeous berry shade which is perfect for this time of year and the texture of it is just incredible. It’s super smooth and buttery and I love that about it!

My last makeup related favourite of the month is this new brush I got. It’s the Zoeva Luxe Face Focus brush. I’ve been eyeing it for quite a while so when I saw there was a 20% off sale going on I decided to just go for it and buy it. This brush is perfect for applying highlighter and that exactly what I’ve been using it for.

It’s super soft, it allows you to work precisely and overall it’s just a very easy brush to work with and it does its job like I want it to. I highly recommend giving it a try!

My very last favourite for the month is the Aloe Vera skincare range by The Body Shop. I’ve been using it all through the month of November, every single day, and it really made a difference for my skin. It’s a very hydrating and calming collection so I do like using it at the end of the day, just so it won’t get too overwhelming for my skin.

Overall I think this collection is great for pretty much everyone but especially for those of you who struggle with very sensitive and irritated skin. It does take about a week or two, but after that amount of time your skin will be completely okay again!

And that concludes today’s post. Those were all the products I wanted to share with you and I hoped you enjoyed seeing them. Thank you so much for reading and be sure to let me know which products you’ve been loving throughout the month of November!

XOXO, Nicole.
