My November Beauty Favourites #blogmas2014

Didn't November just fly by? Suddenly it's December and Santa is coming and people are rushing to get their Christmas shopping done. I did a little bit of shopping myself, where I treated myself to a few beautiful beauty products, as well as rediscovering some old favourites in my beauty drawers. I also did all my Christmas shopping, which is wrapped up and tucked under my tree until Christmas. If I have not mentioned before (haha) I love Christmas shopping!!

These are a few products I have been loving this month, including make-up, hair care and one amazing experience:

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper

The lip colour I had been reaching for the most in Novemeber was the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick in the bright red shade, Hot Pepper. I love everything about these lipsticks; the liquid to matte formula, the lasting power and the shade choices. Hot Pepper is the perfect true red and I have been loving using the a red lip to add a little colour to my monochromatic wardrobe. 

My Little Beauty Mascara Soin Et Volume

This amazing mascara came out the November edition of the 'My Little Box' subscription box. I wasn't holding out much hope because I am very picky and fickle when it comes to finding the right mascara but after trying the My Little Beauty Mascara, I was hooked and I only hope that I can find it again once I have finished this tube. It has quite a wet formula and is super black and it leaves the lashes separated and volumised. 

Urban Decay Naked Palette 

I picked this beauty up on one of my payday shopping sprees. After months of desire and temptation, I finally went for it and picked the original Naked palette. I have been loving experimenting with different eye looks using this palette and I particularly love the shades Sidecar, Buck and Toasted. The packaging feels so luxurious and the double ended brush is perfect for packing on the colour. 

Tigi Bed Head Small Talk

I have been loving running this thickening cream through wet hair and then using my hair dryer to quickly dry my hair. It adds the perfect amount of natural looking volume to my flat and boring hair. You only need to apply the smallest amount of product, so my 125ml bottle will last my ages. Small Talk also smells fruity and delicious and I can not imagine another bad hair day when I have this product in my stash.

The Lush Synesthesia Treatment 

My final favourite is a Spa treatment that I received at the Lush Spa in Edinburgh. I don't want to give too much away about the beautiful Synesthesia treatment, as I do believe that it is an experience that one must experience for themselves. It is a wonderful treatment that focuses on both the body and mind and really helped me to relax. The treatment includes a full body and facial massage using a special Lush Massage Bar and hot stones that are tailored to you. After the treatment is complete you get a special cup of leaf tea and receive a new massage bar and bubble stone to use yourself at home. I would certainly recommend the Synesthesia to anyone looking for a treatment that helps you discover your subconscious need and wants a beautiful massage. 

I can not wait to try more of the unique treatments that Lush offer at their Spas and will definitely be booking myself in for a treatment after christmas! 

What have you lovely lot been loving in November? 

Big Beautiful Hair!

I recently had my hair all chopped off and had a full fringe cut in and I am loving my new 'do! With my new shorter hair, has come a whole new hair care routine and a few new hair products. I am used to just blow drying my hair and giving it a brush and job done, but I am enjoying putting a little extra effort.

Lush Roots Hair Treatment

This is my favourite hair treatment from Lush and it is aimed at those with fine, thin and flat hair. This treatment uses mint in three different ways to stimulate the scalp and the hair follicles, The honey and olive oil in this mask moisturises and conditions the hair. I love the way this mask feels in my hair, due to all the mint, it gives my scalp a tingly feeling that actually feels like it is doing something. You take a generous dollop and massage the product into your scalp, and leave it for twenty minutes. After that time, you just wash it off with your regular shampoo and conditioner. 

Lush Big Sea Salt Shampoo

I have talked about my love for this shampoo on here before but it really is amazing stuff. It is the secret to my big bouncy hair and I notice a big difference when I use other shampoo's. Corse sea salt helps to add a lot of volume to flat lifeless hair and coconut oil and seaweed help to keep the hair soft. 

Tigi Bed Head Small Talk

This is a thickening cream that was used on my hair when I was at the hair salon and it helped make my hair look full and thick. I naturally had to buy this to try and replicate the voluminous look at home. You pump a small squidge into your hand, rub together and then run it through wet hair. This has to be one of my favourite hair care discoveries this year as it makes my hair, look, feel and smell pretty good. 

Charles Worthington Salon at Home Texturising Spray

Texturising sprays are amazing at adding volume without leaving the hair crispy or wet looking. This adds the perfect amount of tousled volume and that effortless messy look that used to take ages to achieve. I simply spray this all over my hair and scrunch it up to make my hair look like 'I woke up like this' and I love it. 

Fudge Crisp Pear and Sweet Vanilla Dry Shampoo 

When I'm heading out and my hair needs a little refresh, I have been grabbing this beautifully scented dry shampoo from Fudge and just spraying it into my roots and my fringe. As well as giving me lovely, refreshed hair, it adds that extra volume at the roots that I love and desire. 

Flat, thin hair is a thing of the past for me, when I am armed with these volumising hair saviours. Is there any other products that give you a major lift that you could not live without?
