Ahh Lush. The metropolis of all things bright, sparkly and delicious for a bit of pampering or TLC for the body. I love to use Lush soaps in particular as they don't irritate my sensitive skin, usually smell delicious and last a reasonable amount of time. There are a huge range of products in Lush's arsenal and I decided to buy some that I hadn't use before. Let's face it, the same old things get boring after a while. Also who doesn't like trying guilt-free, handmade products? On with the haul..

The pink lidded cult classic that is Bioderma *insert rays of celestial light*. If you've watched a YouTube beauty video in the last twelve months then you are bound to have spotted a bottle of the product that has quickly made its way to holy grail status, that being the Bioderma Crealine H20 Cleansing Solution or Sensibio as it is sometimes known, designed for sensitive skin.

Recently I've been filling in a couple of 'Favourite Beauty Product' type surveys for magazine publishers & it got me thinking, why don't I compile a list of my favourite products from throughout the year. I always love hearing other people's favourite products, as you'll know from my latest giveaway so I hope you enjoy my picks!

Korres are a Greek Beauty+Skincare company who are intent on only using natural ingredients in their products. This is one of the many reasons to love their products. I've been trying one of the lip butters & have loved it so much that I thought you'd like to hear about them too!

It's that time of the month again where I sit & think about what products I have loved using & as much as I'd like to write about all of them, there were a select few which definitely stood out to me this month. I've also been using a few new products that I've bought over the past few months lately & have enjoyed many of them, which you will read about soon!

Anyway, without further ado here are my beauty favourites for November;

Undoubtedly one of the best aspects of owning an iPhone is having the opportunity to protect or display it in a lovely case. Forget plain, block colours, it's all about glitter, prints, photographs, illustrations & patterns. Thankfully Iconemesis tick plenty of these boxes.

Anyone who watches beauty videos on YouTube will have seen the Naked palettes appearing in hauls & favourites vlogs countless times over. For those who don't know, Urban Decay's Naked Palette is a neutral eyeshadow palette containing 12 shades which can all be worn individually or combined to create a range of eye looks.

It's been a while since I've compiled a proper wishlist & the change of season seemed an appropriate time to start dreaming of new things again. There are definitely things on here which I won't ever dream of owning unless I win the lottery (ahem, Mulberry bag) but some I'd quite happily see joining my wardrobe & life in the not too distant future.

It seems like only last week that I was selecting my favourite beauty & skincare products of August. I really mixed up my products this month, particularly during Fashion Week & also because it was the holidays so I had more time to use a lot of different products.

Anyway, without further ado here's the products I've been loving during September.

So I thought about doing a haul post but I think those are more effective on YouTube. Instead I've decided to collate a list of the products I've been loving each month. Some may be completely new, some are ones I've rediscovered. Either way, I hope you like my August picks!

Let me know in the comments section if you use any of these products as I would love to hear your thoughts about them.

If you saw this post last week you'd know already that my America Direct haul had arrived while I was on holiday. My products actually arrived about a month ago but I wanted to wait a bit before reviewing them. The reason for this is there was one product which I was still a bit unsure about but I have now decided how I feel about it.

Without further ado, here is my haul, albeit a rather small one from America Direct.

Many of you will have heard of Mag Nation, the destination in Australia & New Zealand to head to if you want to get the best magazines the world has to offer. Well now they have a sister store, an online stationery heaven called Nation State.

Wocolate is a local online store which stocks wondrous things. Owners Josh & Sarah's aim is to;  fill this store with goods of character that one will cherish and will endure, with prices that are affordable so they are accessible to everyone. There are so many nostalgic and beautiful items in their store which you will fall in love with. 


Here's a selection of some of my favourite things from Wocolate:

When I think of sleepwear, flattery, comfort and style don't usually come to mind. That all changed when these were given to me last year as a birthday gift:

Many bloggers refuse to devote themselves to one brand of cosmetics, and I'm no exception. *Cough*. Okay, the cat's out of the extremely shredded bag. I love MAC Cosmetics.

You may be thinking hang on a minute, MAC's super pricy in the Southern Hemisphere. I've been really lucky to say the least. A lot of what you see in the photo above has been given to me as gifts, bought using redeemed vouchers or in Duty Free/Overseas. If you're willing to pay for MAC's high-quality products then it's worth hunting around for the best prices and saving a bit for it.
