Holy moly, you guys. I'm so incredibly late to the party with this one, but man am I glad that I'm finally here. I got my hands on this palette for my birthday in October when it finally became available again and my contour life hasn't been the same since. I'm sure you've all ready a zillion reviews on this baby by now, so I won't go in to too much detail, but this is absolutely amazing. Natural-looking and non-muddy bronzers that blend out beautifully, shimmery and flat highlighters that do not appear chalky at all, a chocolate smell.. you can't go wrong. I even prefer this over my beloved Hoola Bronzer.
Two: The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream
Four: The Body Shop Oils Of Life Sleeping CreamTwo: The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream
I picked this little beauty up in my Body Shop birthday haul. Vitamin E has soooo many amazing benefits that are good for the skin, Google it if you're not informed (do it!), so I'm a huge fan. It's especially wonderful for drier skin types. I mix this in with my various face lotions and potions both day and night, and I've noticed a huuugggeee improvement in the condition of my dry skin patches. It's just so damn moisturising, just want I need in my life.
Three: Marc Jacobs Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer
Oh, how I love this packaging - it looks so dang luxurious. This primer has a thin consistency and spreads easily. I do feel as though it's better for drier skin types than majority of other primers. It absorbs quite quickly and leaves no tacky, greasy or siliconey feeling on the skin, it just feels soft, smooth, supple and hydrated, leaving my skin with not dewy yet not exactly matte finish, which to me is the perfect natural-looking in between. It helps to smooth out the skin and helps my foundation glide on, as well as prolonging it's wear, of course. Finally, the part I know you're all curious about: Does it smell like coconut? Well, yes. Subtly. The scent is light and pleasant and lingers on the skin for a short while. So.. there's that.

Yet another win from last month's Body Shop haul. I decided to pick myself up a pot of goodness after reading glowing reviews from a few of my favourite beauty bloggers. It does have a very (and I mean very) strong scent, but it also does a whollllleeee lot of good to your skin while you sleep. Although it's a cream, it has an almost gel-like texture which soaks into skin, which far outweighs an overpowering scent in my book. If you don't like the feeling of heavy creams or sticking to your pillow, then this is definitely one for you. It's light enough to layer over my heavier nighttime moisturisers (yes, plural) and rosehip oil combination for an overnight boost without feeling sticky, heavy or congested and I wake up with such soft, supple skin.
Five: Pureology Colour Fanatic Multi-Tasking Hair Beautifier
I mentioned L'Oréal's 10-in-1 Perfecting Spray in September's beauty favourites, and I basically feel the same way (in love, obvs) about this product, the only difference being that I'll use this on wet hair in the evening, as opposed to dry hair in the morning, which is where I'll use L'Oreal. This multi-tasking treatment provides 21 amazing benefits to the hair. I won't list them all here but basically, it all works together to prime, protect, and perfect your locks in a multitude of different ways. Like the L'Oréal offering, this is for colour-treated hair (which I do not have), but my natural light blonde locks really love this stuff. My hair is noticeably smooth and soft and the appearance of split ends has reduced drastically. It has a pleasant smell, is non-greasy, waxy, or heavy, and really works to fix my frizzy, dry hair.
