[Monthly Favourites] November 2011

Late! I know, I took this picture a week ago, but I was too lazy to post it up, because I was starting the new Food Escapades series.

These were my favourite things from November.

First, is the Charmed Life body lotion from Bath and Body Works. I only got a sample size, but I absolutely adore it. It smells so nice and yummy. I wish it wasn't limited edition, because I love this scent!

Second item, is Clinique's Take the Day off Makeup Remover. I love this makeup remover, because it can take off the waterproof mascara, without making my lids feel oily. That annoys me to no end, when the makeup remover leaves an oily residue on my lids. So this is something that I will for sure be repurchasing when I run out. 

Next is the Peter Thomas Roth Mega Rich Body Lotion. I got this sample size when I was staying at the Hilton Resort on the Strip in Vegas, next to Circus Circus. They had Peter Thomas Roth toiletries, and I checked Sephora, after I returned, and found that man, these toiletries must have been expensive. Anyways, I love the scent of this lotion, and I use it for my hands. It's really moisturizing, and I wish I could have gotten more of these sample sizes? I also have the conditioner, because I always seem to be running out. Anyways, I still have yet to try it out, but I will soon!

The Sweet as Candy palette is my go to eyeshadow palette. I use the white as a highlight, and I use the bronze in my crease. This is what I use as part of my daily look. It's by Wet n Wild and it's so pigmented! I love these shadows, and I'm going to try to look for a more neutral palette, because it needs to be more daily for me? I still love it though. 

Next is the Colossal Volum Express in Black and Waterproof. I like waterproof mascaras, because it makes my lashes last all day long! This mascara works for me, in making my lashes stand out more. I don't really notice if my lashes are any longer or thicker, because I do, have long and thick lashes for an Asian. I will probably be trying out more mascaras, before I settle down with this one as my go to mascara. I love it though!

PS I love you is another discontinued Bath and Body Works scent. I have the body spray and I got it on sale, when they were doing a clearance sale. I love this. I spritz this in my hair after I wash my hair and my hair smells so good, afterwards. I love floral scents, maybe that's just me. I tend to own a lot of discontinued things for some reason .Oh well. 

Nail Envy is by OPI, and this is a mini size. This is what i use as my base layer before I paint my nails. I will eventually have to buy a proper base nail polish when this runs out. Nail Envy is supposed to be a nail strengthener, and it does strengthen my nails to an extent. Otherwise, it's just a substitute base polish. I love it though, because it's what I use all the time, and it works. 

Last item is my rose ring. I got this at Aeropostale, and I love this ring, mostly because I love roses, but I love the fact that it's a silver colour and there's black on it to make it look tarnished and old. I dunno, I fell in love with this when I first saw it in Buffalo at the Aeropostale outlet, but I wasn't able to get it. Finally, I ended up purchasing it when Aero had a jewelry sale. I also ended up getting a bottle of perfume, because they were discontinuing it. I hope they don't discontinue the Bayla scent. I still need to buy that one. It's my favourite of all. It's so fruity! 

Stay tuned for next month's favourites!
