It's that time of the year, time to round up the best beauty discoveries and and bits that have seen me through the year. I'm gonna split this in two, here is all the body and hair beauty bits, as well as all the accessories, and then tomorrow, I'll have the makeup bits! So here goes, it'll be a long one! I'm gonna link any reviews I've already done on the product name, so click there if you want to know more! I'd thoroughly recommend all of these products!
Hair
L'Oreal Ever Riche Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner - a super moisturising duo that don't leave your hair feeling weighed down with product. An honourable mention to the BedHead Resurrection duo too, that I've been using once a week to repair my hair.
Catwalk's Sleek Mystique Haute Iron spray - a heat defence spray that softens and protects the hair.
Tresemme Dry Shampoo - I did love the Batiste dry shampoo until I tried this, now I can't stand it. This actually makes your hair feel clean, not just covered up.
VO5 Give Me Texture - comparable to the Bumble and Bumble Dryspun Thickening Spray, or the Oribe Dry Texturising spray, but under a fiver. Lovely.
Lee Stafford Breaking Hair Split Ends Serum - a serum that detangles your hair and protects against split ends.
Lee Stafford For Hair That Won't Grow Past A Certain Length Mask - you guys know I've been desperately trying to grow my locks all year and this helps nourish hair into the optimum condition for growing.
Urban Fudge Iced Raspberry and Vanilla Hairspray - smells incredible and doesn't leave your hair crispy, I love this.
Body
Original Source Raspberry and Vanilla shower gel - this is the best smelling shower gel I have ever used ever. Go smell it.
Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub - smells good and super gritty. Gets the job done easily.
Nivea In Shower Skin Conditioner - the lazy gal's dream moisturiser. I can't be without this now.
Vera Wang Lovestruck - a floral, feminine fragrance that just works for every occasion. I don't normally like floral fragrances, but this is sweet enough to not be overpowering.
Lush Phoenix Rising bath bomb - my all time favourite bath bomb. Cinnamon but not overpoweringly so. Super comforting, and turns my bath purple and cold.
Rimmel Nail Nurse Top Coat - like Seche Vite but doesn't go solid halfway through the bottle. Glossy and gel like in finish, and dries quickly.
Kiko Smooth Base Nail Base Coat - smooths out the surface of your nails a treat.
Essie Nail Polishes - definitely my favourite nail polish brand of the year. They have amazing brushes, great formulas and an incredible colour range. Some of my favourites are Essie Watermelon, Orange It's Obvious and After School Boy Blazer.
Soap and Glory Endless Glove - whilst I'm a fan of the classic Hand Food, my hands need a little more hydration and this one gives just that.
Skincare
Bioderma Crealine H2O - the only product I use to remove makeup. Feels like water but removes makeup like billy-o.
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - a creamy cleanser that cleans your skin deep leaving it fresh and smooth. I ran out of this a few weeks back and my skin started breaking out withing days.
Lush Tea Tree Water - tones and keeps skin clear.
Origins Ginzing Face Cream - my favourite morning moisturiser. Wakes your skin up, and gives hydration without making you oily.
Origins Ginzing Eye Cream - same as the face cream really, but this comes with reflective particles to trick people into believing there's no bags under your eyes.
Trilogy Rosehip Oil - speeds up spot healing and removes scars, whilst giving hydration. Love this.
Lush Let The Good Times Roll Cleanser - you knew this was gonna be here now didn't ya. Does this really need explaining?
Caudalie Beauty Elixir - keeps spots at bay, refreshes and tones skin, and calms the senses.
Nuxe Reve De Miel - the best lip balm ever. It's thick and you don't want to use it in the day, but for night it's perfect.
Maybelline Baby Lips Intense Care - my daytime lip pick, smells like frangipan and is super hydrating.
Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask - you know the drill with this by now. Super spot zapper extraordinaire.
Lush Santa Lip Scrub - yum, yum, yum, the perfect lip scrubber upper.
Makeup Tools
Shu Umera Lash Curlers - pretty and gold, the only lash curlers to hold a curl.
Real Techniques Buffing Brush - my favourite for applying foundation, it buffs product into the skin for a flawless finish.
Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - awesome for extra coverage with foundation, but at the moment I particularly love this for cream products, namely blusher, bronzer and highlighter.
Real Techniques Powder Brush - perfect for covering the face in powder, or blending out blush and bronzer.
Eco Tools Blush Brush - I like the shape of this for adding product to the cheeks, and it picks up product better because it has natural fibres.
MAC 215 - my favourite for packing shadow on the lids, the dense bristles work a treat.
Topshop Domed Shadow Brush - great for adding colour to the crease, the shape of it fits in the eye socket perfectly.
& Other Stories Fluffy Crease Brush - the MAC 217, but less than half the price. The best for blending.
