November Favourites

It's that time of the month again, and by that I mean it's time for my monthly favourites, not "that" time of the month if you know what I mean... Thaaaat was not funny... Dang! I can't make a good "entrance" like never... Anywayssss sorry for being MIA, I was feeling pretty sick for the past week, and finally... ufff... I'm feeling like myself again, so to "celebrate" that, here are my favourites for the month of November. 


There we go, there don't seem to be a lot of products in here and that's because my skincare and makeup routines are pretty much the same, and frankly I don't wanna keep repeating myself cuz that will just be boring... But I do have a good mixture of hair, skin and makeup favs to show you so let's just crack on... 


You all know that I'm obsessed with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushers and for the past month I have been mixing the two I have together which are Dim Infusion (a pale apricot) and Mood Exposure (a pinky mauve). They are very pretty individually of course but together are just a dream blusher colour - peachy pinky toned goodness which looks very flattering on my fair to medium skintone. I would say together the colour is like a muted version of the NARS Orgasm but without the gold shimmers. Need say more?!

Since it's winter, I'm all about "hydration". I use a lot of oils on my face, body, hair, you name it cuz creams just ain't cut it. It's not overly dry here in Sicily but still my skin tends to dry out a little, and for that I have been really enjoying this Sweet Almond Oil by Erboristeria. I have gone through 2 bottles of the 500ml ones and I'm now on my third bottle but this is a 250ml one because the shop had run out of the bigger bottles. 


I have never talked about this baby and that is only because it is exclusively sold in Italy and that would be unfair for the rest of you, but I just have to share it because it has been my favourite for years. It only has 2 ingredients which are sweet almond and Vitamin E, very natural and good for the skin. What's really interesting about this oil is that you need to bring your own bottle and they will pour in front of you and charge accordingly. Isn't that neat? I guess what I'm trying to say is that any sweet almond oil would work if you can't access to this particular one. Sweet almond oil is very nourishing, good for the skin, and great for stretch marks apparently. It is a fabulous all-purpose oil for the cold months. 

(Excuse me for the dirty brush. I just used it.)

I rediscovered my Real Techiniques Duo Fiber Eye Brush when I was trying to tidy up my makeup drawer the other day. I've honestly forgotten I even had this brush, but I'm so glad this is in the my life again because it is the perfect crease brush for my "almond" eyes. I don't have a distinct crease as we orientals do, so like MAC 217 or other crease brushes are just way too big for my eyes but this one is simply the right size. It blends beautifully and really just gets in there and makes my eyes look more contoured. Love it!


Speaking of eyes, I am really liking my Deborah Waterproof eyeliner in this gorgeous deep blue colour. I'm not the kind that goes for coloured eyeliners but this one is just so subtle and really blendable. It leaves a nice sutble pop of colour on my lash lines which is exactly what I need for those miserable winter days. It doesn't budge and I really like the little smudger on the other end. It is unfortunately an Italian exclusive but if you live here and looking for a cheap but good eyeliner then this is the one to go for. 


Last but certainly not least is my beloved leopard print Tangle Teezer. I'm not gonna ramble too much as we all know what Tangle Teezer is but let's just say this is one of the things that will always be in my life.

That's it beauties, these are my favourite beauty things for the month of November and honestly couldn't believe it is now December. Craaaazy!!! But I'm happy because Christmas is coming very soon, then New Year. Who doesn't love holiday season right?!

Have a lovely week guys and see you on Friday! Ohh by the way I have changed my blogposts schedule into every Tuesdays and Fridays instead of every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays due to my work. It has been hectic! Arhh... I don't even wanna go there. Anyways hope you understand that and see you all in my next blogpost! Stay Gold! xoxo
