I believe if I did a monthly favourites it would almost be the same things over and over again, so here's what I'm loving right now..
MAC Studio Finish Concealer- My all time favourite concealer, it's thick and creamy and works well to cover my beasty dark circles. I have tried a few other concealers by MAC but they don't cover as well as this one. I have also tried Bobbi Browns creamy concealer which did an awesome job at covering but unfortunately creased like crazy! I am yet to find something as good as or better than this, it even has SPF 35 which is a bonus.
Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation- I wear this almost everyday or at least the days I want to wear make-up. I only use liquid foundation now and again as this foundation is good enough for me. Light and natural looking but also has up to medium coverage.
Elf Powder Brush- My go to brush to put on my powder foundation, dirt cheap, soft and a good quality brush in my eyes.
Avon Supershock eyeliner- A great jet black eyeliner that glides on very easily and a decent price of £6 when I got it.
Wet n Wild Lipstick 904B- Andrea sent me this and I just love the colour it's a gorgeous rosy pink and very pigmented. Not as easy to get in the UK (that I know of) but it's a pretty cheap brand and I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you have access to it!
Bioderma Crealine H2O - This cleanser is my go to for removing make-up, it's very gentle and refreshing rather than oily feeling and although in my opinion it's not the best for getting rid of eye make up such as mascara it's still a great cleanser.
Caudalie Grape Water- This little baby I adore, my friend from Paris sent me it and it's 100% organic grape water in an aerosol can. It's supposed to be moisturising, refreshing and soothing and I'd agree to this to an extent, I still have to use moisturiser. I just love this product as I find it very refreshing to spray over my face especially on hot days and mornings. It's also great to spray over make-up to set!
Maybelline Lash Stiletto- My all time favourite mascara which I have mentioned before here. I think it's good as Benefits 'They're real' and much cheaper too. Great for lengthening and defining your lashes.
Benefit 'They're real' mascara- Again a great mascara for lengthening and defining lashes. I've been using this alot since my Lash Stiletto ran out and I really like it although it's on the pricey side. I originally gave in to the hype and bought it to see what the fuss is about but don't think I'd repurchase as Lash Stiletto is just as good but cheaper.
What are your favourites?

La' French Skincare Haul
A lovely friend of mine in Paris sent me a a little box full of French skincare products I wanted to try. French skincare is known to be fantastic and they have a huge range of products to choose from. Some of them we can finally get in drugstores like Boots...mainly Caudalie and Nuxe but some are a little harder to get your hands on in England.
This is what I got...

She also sent me a little travel size set of Caudalie products, mainly so I could try one of the Vinosource products which are aimed at dehydrated skin. This set also contains Cleansing water, body lotion, shower gel and shampoo.
I have heard a lot about Embryolisse products and their intensive moisturising elements. I wasn't sure what to get so I went for this mask which I thought would be hand for when my skin is feeling really dry.
I also thought I'd try the Taaj make-up remover which again I heave heard people talk about especially Essie! I am intrested to see how this works out in comparison to Bioderma's Crealine solution.
Then she sent me a ton of samples from Taaj, Bioderma, Caudalie and Waleda....sample heaven!!
Last but not least...edible goodies!
Yum. This was a perfect little package to open and I'm looking forward to trying everything out.

First Up I got Caudalie Grape Water, I did some research and this sounded interesting. It's supposed to be moisturising which I like the sound of. I already have the Caudalie Beauty Elixir which I'm on the fence about at the moment so again I'd like to see how this is in comparison.
A Nuxe Lipbalm... I have never tried Luxe in general and nor am I a fan of lip balms which I have to dip my fingers in but this was an exception after the rave reviews I read about this product.

She also sent me a little travel size set of Caudalie products, mainly so I could try one of the Vinosource products which are aimed at dehydrated skin. This set also contains Cleansing water, body lotion, shower gel and shampoo.
