January Favourites!

So January has been and gone and we're now firmly into the month of February (cue Josh Groban's 'February Song' playing over the top of this post), but even though it's a little late I thought I'd put up some of my January favourites.

Philosophy 'Luscious Lime' shower gel

I bought this in the sale just after Christmas in Debenhams and I've been loving it when I'm feeling tired and need refreshing on an evening. It also smells exactly like lime jelly, which is a major win for my inner child.

Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine

I've posted about the Korres Lip Butters before and I have to say I've recently fallen for the brand big time. I think this is probably the perfect lip butter for my lips and it's really been helping with my dry, chapped winter time lip problems. It also smells divine, which is always a bonus.

L'Occitane Cocoa Flower and Desert Rose Hand Creams

These are unlinked (btw, the Philosophy shower gel is linked, the colour won't shop up as blue though) as they were limited edition and no longer on the L'Occitane website. I bought them in the sale just after Christmas and I adore them both. L'Occitane hand creams are my favourites anyway, so this could have included a few more scents. 

NYX Powder Blush in Pinched

I never used to be a blush kind of a girl, I actually used to hate it and only wore it on very rare occasions. I bought this recently and have fallen in love with it. It's not too pink, and it has coral/orange undertones that I love. I've also heard it's a dupe for that Nars blush.

I had many more January favourites, but these are just a few of them. Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what you think in the comments below :)

First Impressions: Korres Lip Butters

I finally decided to try out the 'blogger's favourite' Korres lip butters. So far, I've only used the Jasmine one, but I have high hopes for them. 

Firstly, can we just take a second to appreciate the fact that the packaging also has Greek on it? As a language geek, this absolutely thrills me... I decided to purchase two of the lip butters, Jasmine for days when I'm just in the house and Wild Rose for days when my lips are really screaming for some attention but I still want some colour on them. I did also try really hard to take photos before they had any finger marks in them, but I obviously failed...

These lip butters aren't too heavily scented, in fact my mum couldn't smell the rose in the Wild Rose one at all. I also don't really know what jasmine is supposed to smell like, but this lip butter smells exactly like candy floss jelly beans to me. While I've only used the Jasmine one so far, I do think I'm going to like these products. They look and feel quite nice to me, and the packaging also states that they're good for chapped lips, so with a hideous winter rapidly creeping up on us here in the UK it probably couldn't be a better time to test this claim out. I'll report back in a few weeks...
