Hey lovelies!
I don't do favourite posts too often, I'm a creature of habit and stick to a lot of the same stuff most of the time. But I've been loving a lot of newer products i either haven't reviewed, or spoken about too much, so i thought I'd share these little gems with you!
Okay, well i may have spoken about this one before... quite a lot. But thats
only because it deserves all my raving about it. I ran out of this over
Christmas and i could REALLY notice a difference in my hair... and not the good
kind. So thankfully, i have a new one! I picked this up for around £6 online,
its not full size but as its an oil i only need to use the tiniest amount. If
you have dry or damaged hair, give this little beaut a try!
MAC - Studio Fix Fluid NW10/15
MAC - Studio Fix Fluid NW10/15
This sat unloved in my collection
for quite some time, until i came back off holiday and had a bit more colour in
me at the beginning of October (NW15 is too dark for me without any sort of
tan). I have been using it non-stop since and I'm happy to have discovered MAC
have released NW10 (which is strangely too light for me) and 13, yay for us
pale ladies! Its a full coverage foundation with a demi matte finish in my
opinion and i just love it! It doesn't emphasise my dry areas and stays put ALL
DAY. I've been mixing it with lighter foundations to finish this bottle up,
then NW13 will be mine!
MAC - Fix +
Another rediscovery of the last
few months. I wasn't overly impressed to start with as i picked this up as a
setting spray and i love my UD All Nighter a little too much. But as I'm
running low and on a no-buy i started using this up and i was pleasantly suprised!
I use it after I've set my foundation with powder, it just helps to make the
skin look more natural and less powdery, and its a hell of a lot cheaper than
the UD alternative.
Origins - Drink Up Overnight Mask
Origins - Drink Up Overnight Mask
This has been a saviour in the
winter months on my dry skin, i use it most nights as a night cream and will be
replacing this tube. For a full review, click here.
Maybelline - Dream Matte Powder
As
you can see, its well loved. Its cheap, its cheerful and it sets my foundation
without looking over powdery or heavy. This works so well, i probably wouldn't
even bother looking for a new setting powder any time soon, and thats
saying something for a spending addict like me!
YSL - Rouge Pur Couture The Mats
Probably my favourite matte lipsticks available in the UK. I absolutely adore my Wet 'n' Wild Mega Last lippies, but being from America they are a pain in the bum to buy. YSL released this as part of their winter collection i believe and there are only six shades in the range. I own two and absolutely love them, check out my FOTDs to see them in action. The only downside is the price, at a whopping £23 these YSL bad boys don't come cheap.
MAC - Soft and Gentle

I'm
a highlighter whore, and this is my fancy of the moment. I've done a full
review on it here.
Laura Mercier - Secret Brightening Powder
Ever
look in the mirror hours after doing your makeup and notice you have concealer creased under your
eyes? Yes? Then you need this... I'm not too sure what ingredients are in it that
make it insanely better than normal loose translucent powders for setting
concealer, but its wonderful. It is expensive at around £18 in the UK, but i've
been using this EVERY time i apply makeup since October and I'm probably only a
third of the way through it, if that. I actually wish i could set my entire
face with it.... I'll be reviewing this in full soon as its been requested a
few times!
So thats it!
So thats it!
Do you have any Winter favourites?

I absolutely LOVE that Origins mask. I use it all the time. And that MAC highlighter looks beautiful. I can see how it would be perfect for winter.
