A few of my favourite things...

A few of my favourite things….I can't help but have the Sound of Music tune run through my head… "raindrops on roses…and whiskers on kittens..".
 Anyway..

Here are a few of my very favourite products for the last couple of months.

My hair was having a hard time this winter..getting dry and frizzy looking and this Nourishing Oil Care shampoo and Treatment Conditioner from Dove has made my hair so soft and silky. So if you're looking for a great shampoo/conditioner combo on a budget don't hesitate to get this one. I think it works easily as well as many high end shampoos and conditioners so save your money and go with this one instead. 



Next is an old product that I somehow didn't know about before but is freaking awesome. I use this after curling my hair….just a little dot, rub my hands together and then run my fingers gently through my hair. It really is a secret weapon…I get beautiful curls/waves with no frizz at all, and it lasts. I will always have this product in my arsenal from now on.




And when I'm done styling I use this Garnier Fructis Hold and Flex hairspray. I don't like crunchy hairspray whatsoever so this is perfect for me. It holds the style but doesn't feel like you really have anything in your hair…no crunch, no build up….and it smells GREAT!



 And this might be a little random but I love this new Coconut Water Hydrating Body Wash from Dial. It smells great and doesn't dry my skin out at all, also lathers really well. Big thumbs up!



 The next couple of things are on the pricier side, but I think they are worth the splurge. This GlamGlow Exfoliating Treatment is awesome, truly…I use it once a week and my skin is smooooooth. They call it YouthMud and it really does make a difference, unclogs and tightens pores and makes your skin youthfully smooth. Try it, you'll love it.



The face cream I have been using is very pricy, more than I would normally spend but wow what a difference. As you can see it is a sample size, and if I hadn't had it given to me as a sample I probably would never have tried it but this Renergie Lift Multi Action creme from Lancome makes my skin soft like a babies, I kid you not. Haha…see what I did there? Baby..kid…yeah. It does tighten and tone too and having had a birthday this month I'm all about the tightening, toning, and anti aging.
A little does go a long way but I'm coming to the end of this sample so once I figure out which kidney I'm going to sell then I'll head out to pick up a full size one.
I only use this at night as I like a very light moisturizer during the day, and I love my Philosophy Hope in a Jar for that.



While my go to shadow palette will probably always be the Naked Palette from Urban Decay I do occasionally (ok, more than occasionally) like to try out some new stuff and I have really been enjoying this Designer Chocolates quad from Maybelline. The colours are pretty, as well as complimentary to almost anyone as they are nice set of neutrals.



And I had to add in this watch my sister got me for my birthday, isn't it cute??



So what have you been loving lately, anything I should be trying??

  1. Urban Decay just launched a new Naked palette! "Naked #3", rose hued neutrals $52.
    Also, I adore your watch! It reminds of the little double strap Hermes number that i've been lusting over for year.. The Englishman just can't take a hint.. It may have to be a "To Kathleen, From Kathleen P.S You deserve it!" present.. ;) lol! I will definitely try that coconut water body wash! I've been using all sorts of Crabtree & Evelyn triple milled bar soap (which I normally love) but what with this cold weather we've been having (!!!) my skin has been rather dry.. even with buckets of Weleda Sea Buckthorn body oil applied right after! : ( Great reviews as always! Keep up the good work! Happy belated Birthday! I'm a crap friend.. : (

    1. I've looked at that palette but not sure I need that much rose coloured shadow…lol.
      The Honest Company's body oil is excellent and non greasy and I've heard great things about Josie Maran's whipped body oil…will be trying it out.
      And you're a great friend! :D
