January Favourites

So finally we've come to the end of the month! January always feels like the longest month of the year to me so I'm glad we're finally here.

I've seen its common on the blogging scene for people to show their favourite products they've enjoyed at the end of the month so I thought I'd give it a go.. here goes!

Hair Products:

Redken protein reconstructing spray -
This is a product recommended to me by my hairdresser. I have had it a while but have made more of an effort to use it this month. It is a treatment which helps to reconstruct the protein in your hair, in turn helping to fix and treat damaged hair. I use it around once a week ater shampooing my hair and I do feel my hair is looking in better condition since using this!

 L'Oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray -
I have naturally straight hair which I don't really like, so for my usual everyday hair, I make it a little wavy by leaving my hair in plaits overnight, and use this product to give it a messy look. I have only recently brought this but is perfect for my hairstyle and I have used it loads.


Cosmetics & Skincare: 

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara -
I won't go into too much detail on this because I've already done a post on this which you can see here. If you have read this post you will know how much I love this mascara. I have only had it about a week, but it had to make it on the list!

No7 Perfect Light Loose Powder - 
I have been using this powder as a staple in my make up bag for a good while  nowand this month is no different. I like loose powder as when I have pressed powders, clumsy old me usually ends up dropping them and they fall apart! Just a great product - I'm also a fan of the new packaging as the reflective lid can come in handy!

Damask Rose Face Mask - 
I recently picked this up in a local pharmacy. My skin wasn't feeling its best so I fancied a face mask and when I saw the price of £1.50 for one sachet or £2.99 for a tube that can do up to 10 masks - I was sold. I picked up the Ultra Deep Cleansing one and it leaves my skin feeling so lovely and refreshed. A great product at an amazing price! 


Nails: 

My favourite nail product of the month has to be Barry M's new 'Gelly Hi-Shine' nail polish range. I have two colours from this range, 'Watermelon' and 'Blueberry'. I've also seen a lovely lilac colour in the range called 'Prickly Pear' which I would love to add to my collection. They are lovely and quite thick so paint well onto the nail, and the best part, they only come in at £3.99!


Fragrance:

My fragrance of the month is Marc Jacobs Lola. This is a perfume I've had a while, but have been using a lot more this month. I love the scent, and how pretty is the bottle?! Of course, not the most practical bottle for carrying around, but this is the perfume I have been using the most before leaving the house this month.


Candle Fragrance:


I love Yankee Candles and have a huge collection - thinking of doing a blog psot on them soon so keep an eye out! I have decided something else I will add to each of my monthly favourites will be my favourite candle fragrance of the month, so here is January's! 

I have gone for 'Winter Wonderland'. It is a lovely winter fragrance, which I got in a set with 'Christmas Wreath' and 'Christmas Eve', but think this one is perfect for January as it is a winter fragrance, but not necessarily too festive like the others in the set. I have been loving this candle - the only shame is that I only have a small jar in this so I've been trying not to burn it too much so it doesn't run out :(


So those are my choices! What are your favourites of the month?

Also, I would just like to say, I only really started blogging late this month and have been made to feel very welcome in the blogging community so I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has ever read, commented on or followed my blog, I appreciate it very much! 

Here's to many more months of blogging!
