November Favourites including Mini Reviews + GIVEAWAY :)

Hi guys :)


I just wanted to share with you some products that I was loving during the month of November! I tried to only include new favourites rather than products that I use all the time just because it would take me days to write a post that long! I will be doing a post all about what face products I've been using all the time plus another one on eye products so they should be up in the next week :) I hope you're all well and enjoy!


Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation (Soft Ivory) :

I have become obsessed with this foundation ever since I bought it! I've only had it about three weeks but it's quickly replaced my MAC Studio Fix Fluid. It has a VERY thick consistency.. Almost like a body butter. The coverage is amazing.. I would say that it's a very high coverage foundation but that's what I like so that's a plus! It is so easy to blend and it leaves the skin flawless. This foundation has quite a satin finish which I find very unique.. Almost all of my other foundations are either dewy or matte but this one is the perfect balance between the two. My only issue with this product is the price. I feel like the amount of product that you get for your money is quite mean! I would definitely repurchase this product again.. However, I will be sure to squeeze every last drop out of that tube before I part with my money :)


Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipstick (240 Hey Nude) :

I've had a few of these lipsticks over the past year or so and I love them! The formula is comparable to the MAC Cremesheen formula.. Very creamy and moisturising yet very true to colour and pigmented. This is by far my favourite colour of the range. It is a gorgeous everyday pinky nude.. It goes with everything and it's like my perfect lip colour! I'm giving away this lipstick plus a few other little things on my Instagram so you can check that out if you want a chance to win!

NYX Wonder Pencil (Light) :

I hadn't heard much about this product but I saw it on the 'NEW' section on the website and for just €5 I couldn't resist! I fell in love with this product right away.. I first used it on the waterline and then as I started playing around with it more I find that it works well for so many other things. I use it mostly for correcting any mistakes around the eyebrows, for lining the lips to give lipstick more vibrancy and help it last and you can even use it for concealer! I would highly recommend this product to anyone as it comes in three different shades.. 11 out of 10 :)


Sleek Blush By 3 Palette (Sugar) :

I'm so sorry about the shadow :O

I bought this palette off Cloud10 Beauty around September time and I've been using it so much ever since! I was looking for some blushers that were more red and plum colours for Autumn and Winter and this caught my eye.. I think this is another great value product (it works out as only €4 per blusher) and I have definitely gotten my moneys worth! I love all the colours in this palette but my favourites are the two on the outside because I prefer matte shades! I love all Sleek blushers. They are so pigmented and easy to work with and they also have a great range of shades so there's at least one to suit every skintone!


Thank you so much for reading! Don't forget to check out my Instagram giveaway. Have a great day :)
