November Favourites 2016

There weren't enough November favourites to warrant a video which is why I thought I'd make a quick little blog post on them instead. I did a lot of Christmas shopping last month which is probably why you're seeing a lack of new products as I didn't really buy anything for myself. The one item I did purchase was Orofluido Original Elixir which I mentioned in my hair routine post. I normally use Moroccan oil in my hair but had to try this one after my hairdresser introduced me to it as the smell is absolutely amazing! I would say it works the same as Moroccan oil (I can't see any difference as far as product performance goes) however the smell and the packaging are what make this win for me! 

Another hair product I've been loving more recently, has been the Sirens Ibiza Effortlessly Chic Big Volume Beach Hair. I was sent this a really long time ago as part of a beauty box (I can't even remember which one!) as a sample size. I hadn't got around to using it yet until now and I love it. If you like beachy, voluminous bed-head hair then this is perfect for you. I've just been spritzing it into my hair after styling it for a messy, textured beachy look. 

In keeping with the hair theme, I know I mentioned the Tangle Angel Brush already in my hair routine post but I've really been liking it a lot last month. It was sent to my PO box along with little ones for the kids and paw ones for the dogs. I love the design, I think the packaging is pretty and it works like a Tangle Teezer in that it doesn't pull on your hair harshly like a normal brush. However the major plus is that you get a handle which I have to admit, I was missing. 

My next favourite was the Mama Mio Tummy Rub Butter. I always find the scent of this to be very nostalgic as this was the tummy butter I used almost throughout my whole first pregnancy with Emilia. It has quite a citrus-y smell and everytime I use it I'm reminded of that time and it brings back fond memories! I alternate between lots of different lotions and potions that promise to work against stretch marks during pregnancy but I always seem to come back to this one! 

As you all know I'm quite fussy with my lipsticks and won't include one in my favourites unless I genuinely love the shade (and usually it's a nude!). But I found this Bobbi Brown lipstick in Pale Beige which isn't a new purchase but had been gathering dust in my makeup collection when I rooted it out. I recently just started using it as an alternative to MAC's Blankety. It's a beautiful true nude which isn't too cool, nor too warm. Sometimes lipsticks with the word "beige" in the name can come up too orangey on me but this one is perfect!

The other thing I've been loving this past month which isn't beauty related has been chai tea. I just discovered this as I never used to drink it but got sent a pack of Clipper's Love Me Truly which is a chai tea with cloves, cinnamon, ginger root, fennel seeds and cardamom. I drink it with warm almond milk and it makes the perfect relaxing bed-time drink! 

So those were my short & sweet favourites for the previous month! Hope you enjoyed and let me know your most loved products in November!
