january favourites

hi everyone, hope you are all well i am going to be sharing a few of the things i have been loving during january.

beauty

e45 lotion
this is a moisturiser which is actually meant for eczema i think but it is great for winter when my skin gets very dry. i usually just use this at night as it is very heavy moisturiser which is leaves your skin looking very oily! but it doesn't matter if you put it on in the house. i have literally used this every single day in january and my skin has been feeling so silky soft.


jack wills lip crayon
i have been wearing this jack wills lip crayon like crazy this month. it just gives a lovely soft pink colour to your lips which is also very moisturising. i got this in a christmas gift set, so i'm not too sure if you can get this anymore but i'm sure you will be able to find something similar.


vasaline
i have used vasaline for ages now but this month i have been using it constantly for different uses. the first thing i have used this for is to lengthen my eyelashes and also condition them. i also use it to moisture my cuticles and of course on my lips! i have it in the original, the aloe vera one and the pink one which gives a gorgeous rosy tint to your lips.


soap and glory - the righteous butter
this month i have started using body lotions/body butters and this soap and glory one has been my favourite. i got this also in a gift set so it was a little travel size, but i am tempted to buy the bigger size! this is quite a thick but is very moisturising which is perfect for the colder months.


the body shop - strawberry shower gel
i also got this in a gift set and have just started using it towards the end of january and i absolutely love it. it smells so so nice and it foams great and is just a great shower gel.


gemspa calming amber hand cream 
as it's getting really cold and my hands are getting dry i have been using a hand cream every night and it has definitely helped. this has such a relaxing smell and it honestly just is so calming, the name is true! anyway it isn't too thick and greasy but still very moisturising.


social media

youtube
i have loved jill, remi and tara's cruise vlogs, they were just hilarious and i wished i was there with them ahaha. their vlog channels are - remilife, taramichellevlogs and extrajill. another youtube favourite are swap box videos, i honestly think i have watched every swap box video on youtube now! i don't know what it is about them that i just love!

instagram
i have loved instagram as always and have found a few new accounts and also have been loving some new themes.
  • @megsays_ - i have been following meg for a while now and she recently went to budapest and her new theme is just so good and her photography is so beautiful!
  • @anastasiabeverlyhills - i was looking for a new beauty account and i noticed this account which not only feautures their own products they repost tutorials and looks very regularly which is great!
  • @hudabeauty - this is another beauty account which i have just discovered and this is run by popular makeup artist who not only posts pictures of her makeup looks she reposts things aswell
  • @lilyellaburt ella is a smallish youtuber who posts mainly makeup, pictures of herself and a few photography shots. although she has 20k, ella isn't really talked about that much so i thought i would mention her :))
music 
i haven't really been listening to loads of music this month but i have been loving a few songs/people.

  • history by one direction - this song is sooo good i have been listening to this on repeat and i just love it so much!!
  • locked away by r city and adam lavine - this always seems to be playing on the radio on my way to school for some reason, but i'm not complaining! love this song
  • stiches by shawn mendes - i have listened to a few of shawn's songs before but this one has topped them all it's so good!
  • lush life by zara larsson - i have heard this song in so many youtube videos and now i finally know it's name. it's just an amazing catchy song!
  • justin bieber - i have been loving justin bieber so much this month, his album is just live and i listen to it all the time!
  • little mix - i have always kind of liked little mix but haven't been a massive fan but now i am i have listened to all their albums now and i just love them!

random

i have a few bits and bobs which don't really fit in a category coming up for you such as fashion items, a book and a little essential for me.

handbag
my handbag of the month has been this gorgeous cream handbag from new look. i purchased this in december with my christmas money and have been using it since. the size is just perfect for me and it goes with every outfit.
if you are looking to buy this the details are - cream weave panel mini tote bag £17.99


jumper
i have been wearing this fluffy jumper from matalan like crazy this month it is so soft and cosy. it is always really easy to wear and perfect for out and about or just a lazy day at home. unfortunately i can't find this online but you might spot it in store.
*exuse my hair!*

book
this month i have started reading again which is a massive achievement, the book i have been reading is the glam guide by fleur de force. this offers beauty and fashion advice as well as general life advice. it is very interesting and i love how you can just pick it up and have a little flick through.

hand sanitizer
my hands are very sensitive, so washing my hands all the time was just making my pain worse so i picked up a few hand sanitizers from primark for £1 each. they come in loads of different scents and are now an essential for me. this one is in daisy chain which smells beautiful just like flowers and has the prettiest packaging.


that's all the things i have been loving throughout the month of january, i would love to know some of your favourites so make sure you comment below! have a lovely day - em <3
