November Favourites

Well December is finally here, which means that christmas is here at last too, but more importantly November Favourites are here! 

But remember, December favourites will be over on my new site Beauty By a Geek!


1. Yankee Candles in Red Apple Wreath and Snowflake Cookie- I brought these at the beginning of November and I have been loving them! They make my bedroom smell so christmassy and delicious.
2.Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder- I love this new bronzer, its perfect for just adding a little colour to my face in the winter.
3. Lasting Perfection Concealer- One of my favourite youtubers, Zoella swears by this concealer so I thought I'd give it a try after the last couple I've tried weren't that great and I'm really loving it, it offers good but also long lasting coverage.
4. Maybelline Falsies Mascara- I am really loving this mascara, definitely one of the best Ive tried along with the loreal telescopic one.
5.James Blunt Bonfire Heart- This song is absolutely beautiful and I cant stop listening to it on repeat.
6.Chocolate Hobnobs-My nan brought me a packet last week and these are absolutely delicious, I could have eaten the whole packet in one sitting.
7. Katy Perry Legendary Lovers- This song is also brilliant, I love her whole album though!
8. Fox's Sleepy Hollow- Me and my sister have been loving this programme of late, though I cant watch it at night time ;)
9. Rimmel London Apocalips in Stellar-I brought this on 3 for 2 at boots and I love it! It glides on like a gloss but even after the gloss is gone your lips are still stained. It was really hard to pick a colour because I also really wanted big bang, phenomenon and apocalyptic, hopefully I'll be able to get a few more though!

So what have your November favourites been?

My (growing) Lipstick Collection


I seem to be having a bit of any issue at the moment. That issue is makeup. And money. I can't stop buying makeup at the moment. I brought a new eyeliner, two lipsticks and an eyeshadow palette in the last week...
The newest members of the collection are the MUA lipsticks, but I'll be doing a separate review of them after I have used them a bit, as with the palette and eyeliner.

From Left to right-MUA shade 1 and 4, Natural Collection Crimson, Baby Lips pink punch, Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker lip gloss in Fuchsia-Ristic, Rimmel London Kate Moss lasting finish lipstick shade 16, Miss Sporty Hard Candy, I Love and Bubble Gum.

So far I love the MUA and Kate Moss lipsticks. The Soap and glory one is more of a lip gloss so its a tad sticky which annoys me because my hair sometimes gets stuck to it, which is the main reason I don't really wear lip gloss, but i do love. The baby lips is a great lip balm but the colour doesn't show up much. The miss Sporty ones aren't very good at all. I only bought them because I wanted a bright pink one for a party and they were on 3 for 2 so I just brought 3.Which I know is not a very good way to shop. Finally, the Natural Collection one is quite good, very moisturizing but not very long lasting.

Compared to most people I know my collection Isn't very big, but I do still love it .

Considering MUA is the cheapest of all of them at just £1, they definitely have my favourite packaging, though I do like the Kate Moss packaging too. I also think that the two mentioned are my favourites formula-wise as well.

Let me know if you have tried any of these lipsticks or shades...
