December was always my favourite time of year the month just gone did not disappoint. It was an amazing month filled with time with my husband, a lot of food & some down time. I am pretty sure over Christmas I lived my best roast potato life, I’m currently 45% potatoes, 35% cheese and 20% chocolate. Yes those calculations work out too, if you take into account my love for potatoes, cheese and chocolate. However I’ve got some favourites for the month, things I’ve worn a lot, things I’m loving and things you should definitely try!
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel*
I’ve been using this for a while, and raved about it on a regular basis because it is one of those cleansers that is good for however your skin is feeling. I struggle with combination skin, so when my skin is extremely oily it leaves it feeling clean and when my skin is super dry it feels like it gives my skin the TLC it really needs at the time. It’s an amazing cleanser – you should definitely check them out!
Maui Moisture Blow Out Mist
I actually bought this because it was on offer and my normal go to Umberto Giannini one was out of stock in my local Boots, since trying this one though I’ve been in love! It smells absolutely amazing and not only that it helps to leave my hair feeling smooth and soft! It is also a super fine mist so I don’t have to worry about it clumping my hair together!
Bare Minerals Lashtopia Mascara
I bought this a while ago (I actually bought the 2 pack from Debenhams in the sale to stock up too) and I have loved it so much. It really does lift my lashes so much, gives them volume without clumping and it is a mascara that leaves your lashes feeling conditioned. I normally go for my Too Faced mascara, but lately I’ve been reading for this one a bit more! It’s an amazing mascara!
Tropic Pure Lagoon Serum*
I’ve been using this serum for a while and it’s such a gorgeous serum. I love the way it smells, I love the way it works on my skin and not only that with my spot prone skin it works wonders! If you struggle with spot prone skin, you’re looking to up your skincare routine then this serum works absolute wonders!
Unearthd Cast Your Eyes On Me*
I’ve been trialling this since about September, and I’ve noticed a difference in my brows, I have really bushy brows but I do get sparse parts sometimes, and using this has helped keep my brows in tip top condition. I’ve been using it on my lashes too, I notice a difference in the way my mascara applies, and the length but the main difference I’ve noticed is the amazing condition my lashes are in. It is also perfect for sensitive skin!
Too Faced Sweet Peach Blur
We all know I adore Too Faced, and this blur finishing powder is absolutely amazing! It really does work wonders on my large pores, leaves my skin looking incredible and flawless! It gives the perfect not matte but not glowing finish, it’s currently my go to finishing powder. If you’re looking for something that isn’t too heavy on the skin, it’s perfect!

I absolutely love the blow out mist, it leaves my hair feeling amazing!xxxx
I’ve never tried anything you’ve mentioned, but I’ve heard of all the brands before. The Bare Minerals mascara sounds amazing. I got lots for Christmas so I’m fully stocked up for now, but I’ll had to add that one to my list to try when I run out.
The mascara is absolutely lovely and I love the way it leaves my lashes!xxxx
such fab products! the top faced peach foundation that goes along side of the powder you mentioned was one of my favs from 2017. as someone who doesn’t love matte foundations it’s the perfect matte foundation. i will have to pick this powder up and give it a go! i am also filled with cheese, potatoes and chocolate lol! xx

I love the sound of the Dermalogica Cleansing Gel! I suffer with combination skin too and I’m looking to up my skincare this year.

The cleansing gel is gorgeous on my skin!xxxx
Ooh what a great collection of products. I also struggle with combination skin and large pores, so definitely going to have to check some of these out. Think Too Faced is going to have to be a brand I look into! Lovely post.
You should definitely check them out! Too Faced are amazing!xxxx
Love this photo! I’m in LOVE with dermalogica skincare at the moment, have you tried the special cleansing gel alongside the precleanse? Leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean and glowy. 10/10 combination

The mascara is incredible and it really does wonders for my lashes!xxxx
Lovely photos! I love the sound of the cleansing gel and the pressed powder. I already own a few too faced products but the balance between the matte and glowy finish sounds perfect. I’ve heard of a lot of the brands on your list but not these exact products, great post and reviews; so honest.

The pressed powder is absolutely gorgeous! Let me know if you try any!xxxx
I’ve often thought about trying Maui brand, might have to give it a go now! Plus that finishing powder sounds amazing! Is it good for keeping oily skin at bay without drying it out?
I’ve loved Soap & Glory’s puffy eye attack. It has really helped my bags through the busy December 😴
Love seeing what others have been using. Lovely post 😊
