honest about my experience. I hope you find something you might like to try
from my favourites. <3

¬ Vichy Normaderm Triple Action 3 in 1
Cleanser
I am loving this cleanser, so much so I have repurchased
it.
By 3 way cleanser it means:
¬ facial
wash to cleanse skin
¬ facial
scrub to clean pores
¬ mask to
control shine
I like a wash cleanse and this is perfect. In the shower it is
the perfect wash or scrub and a perfect face mask to give an extra special pore
cleanse while in the bath. It does not dry your skin; leave it over sensitive
or with too much shine.
Since using it my skin has defiantly improved I have fewer
breakouts. I will continue to use this cleanser.
Cost = €14.00 or £11.00 for 4.2
FL OZ 125 mL
2.
¬ MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner with SPF
15
I was gifted this from my sister
and oh how well does she know me. I am a self confessed MAC addict and a self
confessed lip balm addict and this product fulfils both of my addictions. This
lip conditioner has a lovely consistency and is not sticky at all. It stays on
your lips and genuinely conditions the lips. The rose tint is delicate and
subtle yet gives a lovely glow. The added bonus is the SPF which is need in all
weather. I have worn this lip conditioner every day and it has pride of place
in my purse. Highly recommend this product.
Cost = €8.70 or £7.33 for 15ml 0.5

¬ Soap and Glory
Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath - €6.50 or £5.50
Clean On Me Creamy Shower Gel - €6.50 or £5.50
Well clearly I am only one of many girls who love these
products. They smell fabulous, they are so creamy and they leave your skin
feeling so soft. They are a really nice alternative to many high end brands and
personally for me they are better. Once again I intend to repurchase these
products.

¬ Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia Cologne
Once again I was gifted this by my perfume addict of a sister.
I am currently on my third bottle. Jo Malone is very well known for many
fabulous colognes and perfumes. This is by far my favourite. It is strong but
it is not over powering. It has a flower undertone but also a fiery hue to it.
Honestly it is a difficult scent to describe so I highly recommend you go treat
yourself to a sample. I like the small bottle as I carry it in by bag
everywhere.
Cost - €45.00 or £38 30 ml 1 fl oz
5.
¬ Mac BB Cream in Light
This product comes in the
Prep and Prime range. Traditionally I have not been a great fan of BB Creams.
Having tried a few of them I was not overly impresses. I am glad to find the
opposite this product. It is light and creamy and does give nice coverage. It
is lightly tinted with sheer beige so it gave me a really nice glow that looks
extremely natural. On days I wanted a little darker or fuller coverage I simply
blended My BB cream with another MAC favourite of mine face and body
foundation. A little bronzer or highlighter and its fabulous. I will continue
to use this product and I am actually hoping to purchase a darker shade for the
spring or for days I have tan on.
€22 or £18.50 for 40 ml 1.3 fl oz
January Dislikes!
I received this product as part of the December 2012 Glossy
Box. I had high hopes for this face wash as I am always on the lookout for a
good cleanser and tea tree screams clean. Well how wrong was I! The first time
I used this product my face went red. I don’t mean a flushed blush look I mean
a roaring fire red. I put this down to
maybe hormones or the fact that I had been out doors lots etc. So the next
night I washed my face the red got worse and it was accompanied with heat. Once
my face calmed down the dryness hit in. Anyway as you can imagine this face
wash did not suit me and is topped using it. I gave it to my boyfriend and he
now using it as a hand wash so suppose waste not want not! My skin is
classified as normal to combination and very rarely has a reaction to anything.
This face wash brought out a reaction. Definitely will be running a mile if I
see this wash again.
Non Cosmetic Favourite

This month I bought this jumper in Penny’s/Primark and I love
it. Priced at €14 it was a real bargain. Grey sliver lose knit jumper is very versatile,
comfortable and cosy and very on trend. It is styled to be a worn a little over
sized which makes it a perfect worn over a vest and a perfect partner for skinny
jeans, jeggings or leggings and boots. I have teamed this jumper with the scarf
below (a black and grey design scarf priced at €6 Penny’s/Primark) or the
chunky silver jewellery which added a little element of glamour to the look €5 Penny’s/Primark.
I love this jumper so much I went and bought the same jumper today in the black
version and plan to team it with gold or deep pink! Definitely a great little
find.
So there you have it my favourites for January. This January
has been a month for great little finds.
Have you had a favourite anything this month? I would love to
hear so please leave a comment below I love to hear them.
