February Favourites

Firstly i need to start by apologising for posting my Feb Favourites so late, I have been away a lot and I have had them written up on a piece of paper (I know very old skool) and just haven't had the chance to get them up.

Lets get started with the first of my favourites of this month;
The GHD hair heat protect spray has a really nice smell. I don't straighten my hair regularly but I do more occasionally put some sort of soft curls in and I have found this GHD heat protector good to seal the hair in conjunction with my GHD straighteners. I think overall i like this because of its wide angle spray nozzle and the smell.

GHD Heat Protect Spray from Look Fantastic. Price: £9.99

Next up, isn't a beauty product but is a big favourite in my life.
The Jo Malone Sweet Almond and Macaroon Deluxe Candle; I loooove the smell of this candle. It has a sweet, creamy smell about it. It smells a bit like marzipan, almost like that angel cake. And of course it smells like those coconut macaroons........yummmy....yummy....all round yummy.......I want to it eat. It leaves a luxurious sweet, warming smell in the house, which makes me feel super relaxed. Big thumps up. Unfortunately this was a limited edition for the Christmas period, its was £80 and now you cant buy this size or smell again probably until the festive season this year.

Now on to makeup, The Collection 200 Smokey eye palette, I rarely wear eyeshadows, but I have been using this palette a lot this month because I like to use the black and brown as shadow eyeliners. The palette is flat and easy to carry. The shades are pigmented too, so for around £4 its a good buy. I like that all the colours are in one small palette and you can use the 8 colours to create 3 different smokey eye effects.

I have been using almond oil for a while now, but I discovered a cheaper option and it's been my most used product this month.
I need to admit , I use almond oil religiously but I used to buy a small bottle (50ml) from Boots for £1.59 and now I have found and been using this KTC Almond Oil. I got it from Asda for £1.79 and its 300ml! So i stocked up and bought a few. Its awesome stuff for an awesome price. I use almond oil for my hair and skin; I will write a post soon enough on all the fabulous things you can use it for, including using it in homemade lip balms.

I hope you enjoyed my February favourites. Do you use any of these products? What are your thoughts on them?
