I thought I'd start the new year with showing you guys what I've been loving in December. I didn't really buy many new products last month and the ones I did buy were only small basic purchases.
But anyway, here are my December beauty favorites...
Rio SoniCleanse - This was actually an anniversary present from Sean. I'd wanted a facial cleansing brush for so long as I'd seen amazing reviews for them. I love giving my face a proper clean and this little product makes that so easy. After using this just once my face my so soft and my pores were reduced. This is the best beauty product I think I've ever owned, I don't think I will ever go back to just using face wash. I've been meaning to review this for a while now, so let me know if that's something you'd like to see!
Helen E Cosmetics White Eyeliner - You might have seen this product in my Clothes Show Live haul video and it was a freebie. I love a good freebie and when I saw I could get a free eyeliner I couldn't say no. I've been after a decent white eyeliner for a while and just never remembered to buy one. This one is great as its quite a vivid colour and comes with a smudger. I just apply a bit to the insides of my eyes and it opens them right up. For any girls with small eyes, I fully recommend investing in one of these.
Laura Paige Foundation Brush - This was another product featured in my Clothes Show Live haul video. It was a bargain at only £1 and has really made a difference to how I do my makeup. Believe it or not I actually didn't have a foundation brush until I bought this one and I used to just apply foundation with my hands. I never really got a nice result and I'm so glad I bought this brush as it makes my foundation look so much smoother.
Primark Nail Polish - I reviewed this product a couple of months ago. It was just a £1 from the Primark beauty section and I really wanted to give it a go. It's a gorgeous colour and it stays on for a decent amount of time. For the price I really can't fault it at all and I'm thinking of trying out a few more bits from the Primark beauty range.
So those were my December beauty favorites. I'm sure my January faves will be much more interesting as I received so many beauty bits for Christmas!

I was really disappointed by last months box. If you read my last post about you will know how close I was to unsubscribing, but I wanted to wait for this box. I was expecting it to be really festive and full of Christmas inspired products. The box has a pretty winter theme but the products don't and I was kind of sad about that.
So let's run through what I received in my December Glossybox...
TRESemme Renewal Nourish and Renew Tonic - I love TRESemme products. I swear by their heat protection and their conditioners always leave my hair feeling healthy. I've never seen this product before but I have no doubt it will work miracles. My only concern is that its a leave it treatment that you don't rinse off. As I don't love the 'I haven't washed my hair for 12 days' look, I'll probably use this before bed and rinse it off in the morning. I'm excited to try this out and I'm sure I will review it for you guys.
Essence Colour & Go Nail Polish - I've featured a few Essence products on my blog and I've always had good things to say. I haven't actually tried their nail varnish yet, despite owning quite a few. Essence products are dead cheap and I've always found them really good. I'm excited to try this nail varnish out over Christmas as its a gorgeous deep red shade that's perfect for the festive season.
Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek & Lip Stain - I've never tried a lip stain before. I love my lipsticks so any other lip products don't usually get a look in. That being said I am looking forward to trying something new. I've always seen good reviews about lip and cheek stains so I have high hopes for this product. I think it will come in handy when the weather gets really cold and my lips start to crack.
SkinPep Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum - The name of this treatment sounds terrifying to me. I don't know about anyone else but the thought of putting acid on my face doesn't sound hugely appealing. This hypoallergenic, alcohol free serum is meant to leave your skin hydrated and glowing. I can never say so to a decent face cream, even if the name is a little bit scary. I'll let you know if it burns my face off.
Anatomicals Zap Zap Zap Spot Stick - I'm quite lucky in that I rarely get spots. I think it might be a genetic thing as my sister has clear skin too. The week I received this Glossybox the biggest, ugliest monster of a spot appeared slap bang in the middle of my forehead. So I used this day and night like it says to get rid of this thing and I can't say I noticed too much happening. I don't think the spot went away any quicker than it would usually although it did stop it drying up and leaving a scab like they normally do.
So that was everything in the December Glossybox!
Don't forgot to check back for the reviews!

A new month means another round up of my favourite beauty products! So here are the products I've been loving throughout the month of November...
Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche - I seriously can't get enough of this little beauty. It came in a Glossy Box a few months back and I've been in love with it ever since. It's probably the best product I've ever received in a Glossy Box. This product is an amazing moisturizer and its smells better than any beauty product I've ever used before. Unfortunately for a 50ml tube of this stuff you will have for fork out around £20, but I still think its worth it!
Real Techniques Shading Brush - I bought this eye shadow brush after hearing nothing but good reviews about the Real Techniques range. It was a little bit more than I would usually pay for a makeup brush (around £7) but it was well worth it. I use this brush to blend in darker eye shadows on the crease of my eye lid as its the perfect size. I'm considering investing in a few more Real Techniques brushes because the quality really is good.
B. Quick #157 Cosmical - This is another Glossy Box product. I received it months ago and never really warmed to it until recently. Is such a gorgeous pale gold colour that I've never seen before and looks amazing on. It applies really nicely and lasts quite a long time on your nails, although you have to apply a few coats to get a vivid colour. I can't remember how much this product retails at but I will definitely be buying another when this runs out!
Directions Hair Dye in Carnation Pink - For the last few weeks I've been dip dying my hair pink. I've been using Directions to make my hair crazy colours since I was a teenager and I'm still pretty impressed with it now. It's quite cheap and it stays in your hair for a nice amount of time. It's also a really nice consistency so it doesn't drip out of your hair. I've just bought the lilac version of this and I'm hoping to dye all of my hair with it.
So those were my top 4 beauty products in November.
Have you guys tried any of these products before? What did you think of them?

So last Saturday Sean treated me to tickets to the Clothes Show Live at the Birmingham NEC! I've wanted to go for so many years but for some reason I never got around to it. Well this year I was lucky enough to go and it was more amazing than I could have imagined.
We didn't plan the day very well at all. We arrived late and missed our slot at the main show, but luckily a really helpful member of staff sorted us out with new tickets for a later show and amazing seats.
After stressing ourselves out over the tickets, we decided it was time to do some shopping. We started with the cheap and cheerful section, eventually working our way down to the more expensive stalls. As I'd never been to the Clothes Show before I had no idea what to expect and I really underestimated just how huge the event was. It took us hours to walk around all the little shops and I'm still not convinced we got to see everything.
While we were shopping we noticed a small show starting over at the Image Catwalk. It was showcasing some pieces from various Fashion Colleges all over the UK. Throughout the day we saw a couple of these shows and although the clothes weren't really my style I really enjoyed them.
After that we grabbed some lunch and made our way to one of the conference rooms to sit in on the Conde Nast seminar. In the seminar they spoke about working in fashion and how to give yourself the best chance of getting a job in this industry. It was such an interesting talk and I'm so glad I went as I've always wanted to work in fashion.
The talk went on for just under an hour which was perfect as it left loads more time to see the stalls we'd missed out and laugh at the people queuing for Peter Andre.
There was just so much to see that I didn't really buy all that much while I was there. The biggest purchase I made all day was a gorgeous pair of boots for £25. I mostly picked up beauty products and a few pieces of jewellery which I'll show you in a haul in a few days.
At 3 it was time to go to the main show which we were beyond excited to see. As we missed our original slot we weren't able to get seats down the side of the runway but we weren't bothered by this as our new seats were directly in front of the stage and gave us a much better view. We couldn't believe how lucky we were with our new seats and I got some amazing photos. The main show was fantastic, I just wished I'd have managed to get more footage of it.
After the show we did a bit more shopping, watched a few more catwalk shows and had a few photos taken before heading into town for a well deserved burger.
I can't even begin to explain how amazing the day was and I can't wait to get tickets for next year! Don't forget to look out for my Clothes Show haul which will be up in a few days!
Did any of you guys get to go to the Clothes Show Live last weekend?
