November Favourites 2016

This month I have been using Along Came Betty Hands That Do Wishes Dry Hands Lotion in peach and apricot, which is such a lovely scent. Along Came Betty is a brand by Tesco.

I finally got round to using my Bomb Cosmetics Free Spirit soap which is really pretty and I love it.

Carex's chocolate orange scented hand wash had become really difficult to find, but I managed to get hold of a bottle at the beginning of this month. I'd forgotten how good it smells. I really want to try the Carex strawberry laces hand sanitiser, which I have seen online, but not in the shops.

Marc Jacobs Decadence has been my most popular fragrance this month. I absolutely love it. It smells great, has good projection and lasts all day.

I have been wearing my 1 carat diamond ring a lot this month. It has two bands of channel set diamonds between three bands of round cut diamonds and it is 9ct gold. I have had it for a few years. It really glistens in the light.

I got my Disney Winnie The Pooh 'Fly Me To The Moon' pyjamas the Christmas before last and have worn the bottoms a lot but I don't usually wear the top as it is a t-shirt and I always prefer not to wear sleeves, but I have been wearing the full set more lately and the top is actually really comfortable. I love Disney pyjamas! I've bought (and been bought) some lovely sets as gifts over the years.

I have been using Alberto Balsam's mandarin and papaya shampoo this month. The scent is amazing. I was obsessed with this shampoo a few years ago and haven't bought this one for a while. I suspect I'll be buying more again soon. I also love their blueberry scented shampoo.

I absolutely love this Sanctuary Brightening Facial Radiance Exfoliator. It makes my skin feel brand new. It really feels like a deep clean. I think I have loved every product I have ever tried by this brand, but this exfoliator especially.

A Few Goodies From My Birthday!

It was my birthday recently so I'm going to share with you a few of the goodies that I received from my family and friends.


I got this amazing Beauticology gift set, which is really cute. It has a strawberry macaron scented body wash and a raspberry cream macaron scented body lotion both of which smell gorgeous.

I got an Along Came Betty gift set with peach and apricot scented hand wash and hand lotion in it. I have already had plenty of use out of the hand lotion. The scent is amazing.

I also got an Impulse gift set with 5 different body sprays in it. I love Impulse. The one in the middle is my favourite, Sweet Smile. It is pear and jasmine scented.

I also got some perfumes.
I got two new fragrances from Avon. Cherish and Mesmerize Black. Cherish is a beautiful, floral scent and Mesmerize Black is a creamy, woody fragrance, which is quite heavy.
I also got the matching purse sprays which are really handy to throw in your handbag or to travel with.
I also got a new bottle of Vera Wang Princess, which I was really pleased with as my current bottle is running low. I really love this fragrance. It is very unique.

I was also spoilt when it comes to jewellery and I got a really pretty Sekonda watch, a ruby ring, a lovely gold necklace and some earrings.

 I got some other bits and pieces too including Jelly Belly earphones, a shoe design notepad and a lovely light pink nail polish.
I was also given a book of postcards with covers from the New Yorker magazine on them. There are hundreds of postcards to look through and the designs are really interesting. I visited New York last year and I absolutely love the place. I definitely want to go back some day!

I also got a very relevant tin to keep receipts in.

I can always feel a shop coming on! Haha! It is the perfect gift for a shopaholic like myself!

I did get a few other gift sets not shown because I have already broken into them and started using them and I also got some cash so I was very lucky and spoilt by my family and friends.
