FOTD: Josh Widdicombe Live

So, people of the blog world, it's been a while. I've mainly spent the past (however many) months being either a student and ill. My poor little blog was neglected and I attempted to start again on Wordpress but alas, it just wasn't the same. So now we're back with a new name and a slightly new look and I hope some of you might still be lurking in the shadows.

Yesterday my friends and I took a trip to see the comedian Josh Widdicombe live at Leeds City Varieties Music Hall and I thought I'd share my FOTD...

(For anyone wondering, the dress is from Tu at Sainsbury's... of all places!)

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 'Light'

YSL Touche Eclait (lightest shade)

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 :)
