Hello again,
I’m feeling pretty smug right now because I’ve managed to upload two monthly favourites in a row. In case you’re new here, this sort of consistently is new to my blog.
Aussie Heat Protectant Spray
Since I’ve been back at uni I’ve been using a lot more heat on my hair, especially from drying it. I want to minimise the amount of damage the heat could do to my hair as much as possible so I decided to invest in a heat protectant spray. I always love Aussie’s products so I thought that this one would be a worthwhile investment. It smells really sweet, but not in a sickly way, and is really easy to spread through my hair. I use it every time I’m about to use heat on my hair and I’ve actually noticed that it makes my hair a lot less frizzy and more soft. I feel like without this my hair would be in a much worse state.
Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash
This is an old favourite of mine but I recently repurchased it after all of my other face washes started to run out. It was on offer in Boots for just £5.33 which is really reasonable for a product this size. I know it’ll last me ages because you only need a tiny amount for every time you use it. It’s really gently and doesn’t irritate my eyes or my skin at all.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Night Serum
I try to remember to use this every night once I’ve taken all of my makeup off and cleansed my face. Sadly, I’m not always this prepared but when I am, I really notice the difference in my skin. When I wake up after using this, my skin feels really hydrated but not in an oily way that you might expect from a serum. I suppose the fact that I have incredibly dry skin prevents this from making my face oily. All in all, this product is amazing, especially for winter. It also smells delicious.
Prison Break
So I started re-watching Prison Break again. Aside from Pretty Little Liars, it’s my favourite series of all time. I don’t want to give anything away but I will tell you that it involves a prison and you should just watch it.
The Body Shop nail polish in British Rose
This is an old favourite. In the bottle it looks awfully girly but when you actually use it, it’s very pale and natural. When I have it on I actually forget that it’s nail polish because it blends so well with my skin tone. I apply two coats and end up with a pretty pale pinky nude shade – I’m sorry, that’s the only way I can describe it. It’s a nice every day colour and lasts a long time.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded Mascara
This is a really new purchase for me but over the past few weeks I’ve been loving it. I saw a lot of bloggers talking about it as Rimmel have recently sent them out in PR packages. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to try it. My expectations were high because I always love Rimmel’s mascaras and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s really lengthening and volumising without getting clumpy.
Primark Facial Cleanse and Massage Brush
I’ve really upped my skincare game recently in a desperate attempt to get rid of my acne. My acne has now fully disappeared and I just have a very tiny patch of scarring to get rid of. This brush played a big part in cleaning my pores and thoroughly cleansing my face every morning and night. I noticed a substantial change in my skin after I started using it. My face feels and looks a lot smoother and even.
As always, thank you for reading.

I will have to try the Body Shop Vitamin E Night Serum.
You definitely should! I’d say it’s the most affordable good night serum available
i have never used soap and glory skincare and i am so curious about their products ! i think i will try the Facial Wash !!

They’re probably my favourite skincare brand – definitely give them a go!
The facial massage brushes are really super effective! I love using mine, too!
I love them! I’m going to get one of the electric ones eventually but I’m happy with the results from my little Primark one
Definitely interested in the massage brushes for the face and the mascara. I love trying new and different mascara. It’s a thing for me.
You should definitely get both of them – they’re very inexpensive 🙂
I think I’d like to try Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash and the night serum. I’m loving your nail polish too. I’m obsessed with my massage brush. 🙂
The face wash is definitely worth the money! Even though it’s a bit more expensive than my ordinary face washes it really keeps my skin clear and healthy
always wanted to try a facial brush. thanks for your review and definitely plan to try some of the other products too, especially this winter with such dry skin
You definitely should! £2.50 is such a reasonable price too
It is totally important to be careful what you put on your skin. I pay a little more and buy nice stuff so I don’t break out.
Oooh you haven’t have a good knack for beauty products. I have to try some of these, but I’ve heard great things about all of them especially the Soap & Glory facial wash! xx Adaleta Avdic
I’ve been using Aussie since I was a teenager. My mother use to buy it for me and it stuck because I love it so much.
I started using it because of my mum too, it’s an amazing brand x
I love the facial brush massage and it really works for me, I love using it.
Loved these favorites! Loved the night serum, I think I will give it a try myself. Some of my faves have been NYX Lingerie matte lipstick in color number 10 and a new pair of shoes from Sfera I got in November . Keep it up!

I love the NYX matte lipsticks! I’ve got a lovely nude shade x
I love Rimmel cosmetics. Especially their mascara it is the best and also fair priced! I have a few of them from the scandalous eyes collection. -Breyona Sharpnack
I love their mascaras! And their foundations actually. Definitely one of my favourite brands x
My daughters are starting to get a bit of teen acne so I think I may have to get them a facial brush, this looks like a great one to start them out.
You definitely should! It’s such an inexpensive but effective option
I like the look of that massage and cleanse facial brush. I need one of them and the serum from Body Shop looks good too!
I’d definitely recommend getting a cheaper face brush like this one before investing in one of the more upmarket ones – they’re so effective 🙂
My best friend suggested that I get into Prison Break – she said it was a good show. Nice to see another winner from the Aussie product line. I recently discovered their volumizing shampoo and conditioner.
I love Aussie’s Shampoo and Conditioner!
I know exactly who to recommend the heat protectant to. It’s a common problem for people who dry their hair all the time.
Exactly! People seem to think that it’s only straightening and curling is bad for hair. Blow drying is so so damaging
Ooooo so many fabulous products!!!! I need to heck out that aussie protection spray!! I bet it would work great for my hair!
I love the Aussie spray! It’s literally perfect for any hair type
Ooh I love Soap and Glory products!! They smell so amazing!! I have yet to try this facial wash, however – will have to check it out!
Their smell in one of my favourite things about them! And they’re so softening on the skin
These all sound like amazing products, especially the ones made to help you take better care of your skin. I enjoyed watching Prison Break before and I heard rumors of a brand new season! I’d love to re-watch this series as well!
I’m re-watching it because it’s coming back next year! Didn’t want to start watching the new series and forget what happened in the old episodes haha
Im so interested in Vitamin C Facial Wash! I love the Soap & Glory brand so I need to find this and try it!
I can’t recommend it enough! I’m so annoyed I only discovered it a month ago
I love that nail color, so pretty! I totally need to go to the body shop and try that serum!
I really love the massage brush! I have been wanting to try one for a while.
You should definitely pick one up 🙂
