My Top 10 Products Of 2011 ♥

Hello lovelies, I hope you're all well!

As it's nearly the end of 2011 I decided to post about my favourite products from the past 12 months. I've discovered some of these products in the past year & some are long standing favourites.

Here goes! =]

Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle

I've been using this product for many years & I can't imagine not having a bottle or 2 in my bathroom! This is my favourite deep conditioner, nothing else leaves my hair feeling as soft & nourished and it's a bit of a bargain, winner!

St Ives - Apricot Scrub

This is another product I have used for many years. The packaging may be new but the formula is the same great exfoliant I have used and loved since I was about 14! I use this 1-2 times a week to keep my skin looking & feeling fresh.

Soap & Glory - Hand Food

This is one of my favourite discoveries of 2011, this hand cream is amazing! It leaves my hands feeling uber soft and it smells amazing.

Mac - MSF Natural

Please excuse my grubby MSF! I use my Mac MSF Natural to set my foundation everyday, it makes my make up last all day and gives me the extra coverage I need in winter.

Liz Earle - Cleanse & Polish

I started using this in late 2010 and I haven't stopped since! This has to be my 5th or 6th bottle and I can see myself buying this for years to come. I love using this to remove my make up at night, my skin feels so fresh and clean after I've used it & I love the 'natural' scent.

MUA - Heaven & Earth Palette

I'm sure this product will be on many peoples lists so I'm sorry if you have seen this a billion times! This is a great everyday palette that can be used for both day and night looks. This is actually my second palette as I bought one for back up incase they ever stop selling it! 

Collection 2000 - Lasting Perfection Concealer

Once again you'll have to excuse the rubbish picture, like so many the writing on my Lasting Perfection concealer has started to rub off. This is without a doubt one of the best concealers I have ever tried. So many bloggers have wrote about this & I'm so glad I finally gave in to trying it. If you haven't already picked one up then I cannot recommend it enough!

Barry M - Nail Paint

I know this is cheating slightly but I couldn't just pick one Barry M nail polish! This is my favourite brand of nail polish hands down. It's cheap, the selection of colours available are amazing and the finish is brilliant. These are just a few of my favourites, my collection is getting out of hand!

Soap & Glory - The Righteous Butter

I know I've blogged about this many times before & I'm really sorry I keep banging on about it but it's amazing! I love applying a thick layer of this after a bath, when I wake up my skin is baby soft & it smells gorgeous! If you have already tried this then I cannot recommend it enough.

VO5 - Miracle Concentrate

I only discovered this product in the latter part of this year & It's already become a firm favourite. My hair is without a doubt in alot better condition now I have started using this & it helps to combat the awful frizzy hair I always seem to get at this time of year.

So there we have it! My favourite products of 2011.

I can't believe it's going to be 2012 in a couple of weeks, the years are going far too fast now I'm all grown up =[

These are a few of my favourite things - August!

Hello Ladies!

I can't believe it's time for my August favourites already, where has this year gone?! It's Christmas soon, yay!!

Here are the things I've been loving this month:

MUA Heaven & Earth Palette:

This needs no introduction. It's been featured on various blogs and there's a reason for that, It's amazing! The pigmentation is great, there is a fab selection of neutral shades to choose from and it costs £4!!!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation:

This has been a firm favourite of mine for a good few months now. It has great staying power, It gives great coverage and it's very affordable. This has to be one of my favourite drugstore foundations ever.

Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzer:

I can't believe I'm going to admit this but I had never tried this before I bought it a couple of weeks ago! It's a HG product for many bloggers and I now know why. I use this bronzer to contour and to give me some colour, It doesn't make me look orange and It's not too shimmery. Winner!

Mac MSF Natural:

This is my favourite setting powder of all time. I have fairly oily skin so I have to set most foundations. This leaves my skin looking flawless and makes my foundation last so much longer. I'm sure I don't need to convince you because many of my lovely followers rave about this.

J.Lo La Glow:

I picked this up on offer in the Perfume shop for £12! It's a lovely fresh fruity scent with good staying power. I'm now only wearing my Chanel perfume for special occasions because I'm scared of it running out so this makes a great cheap everyday perfume =]

Hair Doughnut:

I'm not very talented when it comes to hair, I either have my hair straight or in a simple ponytail. This is my new favourite accessory! It keeps the hair off my face but makes me look like I've spent alot longer on my hair than I actually did! This was £1 in Primark. I have since picked up a brown version which matches my hair alot better!

Last but not least this is my random favourite of the month.... my new iPhone 4! I had the 3GS in black and this isn't much different in terms of features but I love the white colour, is that sad?!

I can't believe this is my last favourite post before my driving test! Hopefully a full driving license will feature in next months favourites!
