I can't believe it is
2016... I mean, I know it's only 1 more number than 2015 but it just
feels so futuristic. I was only 7 when we hit the millennium but I
remember it quite clearly. And every time someone refers to something
from the 00's, for example, a film I'm like 'oh that's not that old
then...' but then it hits me that 2000 was 16 years ago!
Anyway... so now as the
month passes from January to February, let's talk about products
which saw my 2016 beauty regime off to a good start!
Miss Selfridge Lipgloss
My friend Rachel got me
this in a fantastic little make-up set from Miss Selfridge as a
Christmas present. I don't usually like lipgloss as I find it very
sticky on my lips and hate the sensation. But this one is amazing. It
isn't sticky and just feels like lip balm. The shade is a beautiful
pinky/plum colour with a hint of glitter. And it smells yummy too.
Definitely will be purchasing more lipgloss from now on! I've wanted
to try the Tanya Burr Lipgloss range for ages now... but like most
things I want it is exactly that, a want rather than a need. We'll
see how much longer I can hold off for... 8 month early present to
self?!
Palmer's night and eye
cream

As you will see from my
previous post, these two items are a must for cocoa butter lovers
like me. And throughout January I have used nothing else on my
face... no more words needed. (although you can read my previous post
for more details :P)
Telephone wire hair
bobbles

Now this is a bit of a
strange one but it deserves to be featured. My friend Abie
recommended these to me when I complained of getting headaches from
having my hair tied up. It always tugs so hard on my hair, literally
ripping my scalp off (ok... that sounded a bit brutal.) But I was
advised these would be more gentle to my hair. And they are so good!
No headaches! No tugging and ripping hair out! The only downfall with
using these is because I have such thick hair, I can't tie these
round enough times to create a high ponytail. So, if I'm wanting a
super high ponytail then I will have to use elasticated hair ties.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle
Colour Deep Treatment
I've used this
treatment before, but through January I bought a few sachets and used
them about once a week. Aussie products smell like summer in a
bottle, and every so often I will treat myself to some of their
products (again, when will I learn the difference between want and
need?!) and this is certainly something I want to continue to indulge
in.
