January Favourites

Gosh chicks, I haven't blogged in almost a week! I don't think I posted a December favs, so this is a bit of a combination of the past two months :)


I found this christmas cookie Yankee Candle in the midst of the house of frazer sale. I wanted the medium sized one but they were all sold out, still, I think I only payed about £4 for this. It's a lovely, buttery, vanilla scent... I'd have it burning 24/7 but I don't want it to run out!

Revlon black cherry is such a gorgeous wintery, vampy shade I've been wearing it consistently. Swatches and review here.

With the arctic temperature's we've been having recently, my hands have been really dry and chapped. I received this in a gift set at Christmas and it's been a complete saviour! It's really, really moisturising, you only need a tiny amount, it disappears so fast (leaving your hands baby soft!) and is not greasy at all. I also feel like it does noticeably strengthen my nails too.

My mum used Olay beauty fluid while I was growing up so I find the smell really comforting. Emotional attachment aside, it's an amazing product and I can see why it's been around for so long. It's really light and absorbs really quickly meaning it's a great base for makeup. Regardless of its lightweight nature it's still insanely moisturing but again, not too greasy, just right!

My apologies for yet another Vaseline favourite! But seriously, crème brûlée + Vaseline = pure genius.

What have you being loving this month?
