November Favourites





Hello Beauties

Sorry about this post being slightly late but at last here it is, now for the month of November I didn’t really try many new products. As I have been wanting to use up the products that I already have, before going out to buy different products. But here is everything that I have been reaching for in the past month, and might I say how fast this year is going.

Yes To Carrots Body Butter
I use this body butter for only one part of my body and that is my feet, this may be a little TMI but my feet especially the heels get so dry all year round. So what I have been doing is coating my feet in the body butter then applying socks just so the thick cream can soak into my feet, leaving them nice and soft for the time being.

Dr. Jart Water Fused BB Cream
Here in Australia it is the start of summer in which case I hadn’t been wanting to wear a heavy full coverage foundation for the most part, so though last month I have worn this BB Cream in the lightest shade. It blends and sits beautifully on the skin giving off the look of no makeup, I do use a concealer over the top but the light coverage is still plenty on those days when you want your skin to still breath but look wonderful.

Moroccan Oil
This sounds heavenly and leaves the scent in my hair all day long, I apply a tiny amount just into the ends of my hair when damp. I find my hair dries faster with the hair drier and feels hundreds times more soft, this oil adds shine making the hair look more healthy which is always a good thing in my book.

Nars Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight
I brought this lip gloss a good while ago but I don’t wear it all that much, last month I decided to just keep the tube in my bag considering I ever only wear nudes on my lips I was fine. This gloss is a beautiful light pink which looks great on its own, but it can also jazz up any other lip product.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Night Cream
This night cream is the only new product that I had purchased in November as I needed a night cream to add more moisture to my skin, I had been using the Aveeno Positively Radiant Day Cream at night. This night cream does have a scent which fades once applied to the skin, it’s not a thick cream but does hydrate my skin which is what I was after.

Models Prefer Brow Highlight
This brow highlight was cheap but works amazingly at giving a natural looking highlight under the brows, it’s easy to blend out and is creamy to apply. This is a product that will last long but I will be repurchasing this pencil when I do finish the one I have.

ELF Blush in Tickled Pink
Tickled Pink is a matte peachy pink shade and I do have to admit that if you have darker skin than this may be a pain to apply, the blush isn’t the most pigmented but I find on my pale skin it warms up my cheeks and gives me a healthy glow. Although I do have to apply about 2 layers which is enough for me and the look I prefer to have on myself.

So those are the few products that I had been loving all though the month of November, what products are you loving? I’d love to know so please leave me so comments.

Love from Leann

Dream Cream by Lush




Hello Beauties

Dream Cream from Lush is by far the most wonderful body cream that I have ever used and it is one product that I always have to have with me, other it’s in a small pot in my handbag or in a bottle for when I travel. It’s a product that I never forget to take with me wherever I may be going, I found this product the very first time I visited a Lush store which was a few years back now and I have been in love ever since.

The scent is herby which I don’t love that kind of scent but I live with it because of how amazing the cream actually is, it is a thick cream but easily blends and melts into the skin though I have to admit it can leave the skin with a slight greasy feeling but again I can put up with it.

As I work in a beauty salon and wash my hands before and after each client, my skin was becoming dry and eczema was beginning to form on my wrist and a few fingers. This was the only cream that soothed the red itchy dry patches on my hands, those patches would calm down and heal within a few days.

I know that I am going to be a loyal customer to Dream Cream and am even going to try and get my brother to use this cream, as he has always suffered from eczema and nothing seems to help him. I have also heard this cream works amazingly on sun burnt skin, leaving the tub in the fridge for a few minutes which would instantly take away the heat from any burn.

In Australia the price is $29.95 for 240g which may seem expensive, but I don’t apply this all over my body which you can but I do have to use up other lotions that I have collected. So this black tub does last me a while so I do get my money’s worth, but if you have never tried this cream before and are interested than just visit a Lush store and ask for a sample.

A few ingredients are: Cocoa Butter, Oat Milk, Rose Water, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Lavender Oil and Chamomile Blue Oil. All of them are very moisturising and calming for the skin, however if you are sensitive to scents than you may struggle with this one. At first the scent is quite strong though it does fade, just a little something to think about beforehand.

Have you tried Dream Cream from Lush? If so, what are your thoughts on this cream? I’d love to hear from everyone.
