Product's I'm Loving and Hating

I have been using lots of different products this month and just thought I would share some of the things I have been loving and hating. This is almost a glimpse to whats in store for my "November Favorites" which will be posted some point next week. So here we go...

Love Love Loveeeee

On top of my love list is a few items from The Body Shop. I've always loved The Body Shop and particularity enjoy using there Shower Gel and Body Lotions. Recently I have discovered my favorites from there range..The Vanilla and Cranberry scents!

Smells delicious

I'm really really in love with these two shower gels. The Vanilla Bliss scent is such a sweet smell, almost like cupcakes. The Cranberry Joy is my favorite as it smells so fruity and nice but it's a deep fragrance, if that makes any sense! Both shower gels are smooth and only require the tiniest amount to make a lot of bubbles. I've had these bottles for a few months now and I still have plenty left. I am looking forward to stocking up on some more of these on pay day! Both shower gels have a soft formula and leave your skin feeling extra soft and smelling lush for hours. I also think that shower gels like this would make perfect Christmas presents for loved ones and The Body Shop often have special offers or half price deals in store which are definitely worth a look at. I brought both of these in a sale and saved at least £7. They currently have these in the Christmas packaging which is really pretty!

Leaves you soft and edible

Another personal favorite of mine would include the Cranberry Joy Body Butter. It's not very often I buy body lotions. Some lotions leave you feeling wet and all your clothes stick to you no matter how much you try and rub it in, but this body lotion is different. This isn't body lotion, it's a body butter meaning that it's easier to rub it and tell how much your using. It's a thicker texture so it's not runny on your body and takes forever to rub in, especially when your in a rush. The Cranberry Joy smells delicious on your skin, and the scent is so strong that it's almost like a perfume. I find that it leaves my skin so fragrant that I don't have to worry about wearing body spray. I would highly reccomend this! I think this would make a lovely present for your mom's or nans! It allows them a little me time and leaves you feeling like brand new. 

Hmmm not so keen

One thing I'm not rating at the moment is the No7 Stay Perfect Long Lasting Volume Mascara. I love it's colour as it's a deep black and I find that it does give alot of volume. My problem with this mascara is that it drys very hard to your eyelashes and makes them look clumpy. I think it's good to wear on a night out or when you want to make a statement with your eyes but I feel like it's so addictive to pick off. It's heavy on your eyelashes meaning that you want to pick it off as it's not very smooth or natural looking.

The thing I hate the most is how when I brought this mascara from Boots the sales assistant forgot to mention you have to wash this off with warm water. I never thought to read the back of the packaging as I thought the sales assistant had told me enough about the mascara but I was wrong. For ages I had been trying to remove this mascara with face wipes or make up remover lotions and realized it was taking me ages to get it off, then when it does come off it peels off..doesn't make sense does it? I noticed on a few occasions that my eyelashes were falling out. My eyelashes are short anyway so to think I was loosing them as well really upset me. I then looked it to this mascara and worked out the problem...you have to wash it off with warm water and a cotton make up remover.

I think it was wrong that the sales assistant failed to share this information with me and cost me in eyelashes. My eyelashes tend to fall out with stress anyway and using this mascara really didn't help the situation. I don't like how this mascara pulls off like goo either, it's not normal. I wont be rating this as very much which is a shame as I LOVE No7 products!

I hope this helps when buying your next beauty treats or as a guide to good Christmas presents.
