January Favourites

How crazy is it to think that we've already finished the first month of 2014! We can't believe how fast it went, it feels like yesterday that we were standing on the beach watching the fireworks for the new year! But despite the fact it went so fast, with the end of the month comes our list of things that we just couldn't get enough of this month.

In terms of beauty products, this month hasn't been too big, we haven't really got around to trying a lot of new products but of course we do have a few. With it being summer we try to keep what we are putting on our skin as light as possible and we really try to keep it healthy so we have been loving using BB creams instead of foundations, we've been using the maybeline BB cream for oily skin as we both have slightly oilier skin and it has been great for us, it doesn't give a lot of coverage but it does what we need it too! Keeping with skincare two things we relied on heavily this month was our cetaphil daily moisturizer and natio mud mask, these really helped to keep our skin feel healthy after being out in the sun all day. Another thing that could be classed as skincare (we think!) is the cocoa butter hand sanitizer that we picked up from a local drugstore and it is amazing, when you are out on the beach all day or around town you're going to want a snack and we don't know about you but we hate the thought of all the things we might have touched throughout the day, so a handbag sized sanitizer is perfect and the cocoa butter scent is definitely a bonus! In our summer essentials post we mentioned our love for pastel nail polishes and one in particular has been a must have for us this month, that is a Revlon nail polish in the colour 85 Minted, it is a beautiful mint green that is everything we want in a summer polish. We like to keep things bright when it comes to lips in summer and this month we have found our favourite shade yet, the Topshop lipstick in Ohh La La is the perfect mix of amazing colour and creamy texture that is all we could ask for in a lipstick! Our last beauty favourite of this month is our perfumes that we were both extremely lucky to get for Christmas and they are Dot and Daisy by Marc Jacobs, after wanting them for so long we cannot stop using them although we are trying to because we want to make them last!

Now onto our non-beauty favourites and we'll start with our favourite movie of this month which is Frozen! We're sure most of you will have heard about this movie, it has been talked about a lot since it came out and quite rightly, we absolutely loved it! It is a classic Disney movie with characters you fall in love with, the cheesy happily ever-after story and the songs that get stuck in your head for days, it's everything you could want from Disney and it really is good! But moving on to something slightly more grown up we have been really loving taking photos of anything and everything we see and after Megan bought a Samsung front facing smart camera in the boxing day sales this love has grown so much and we now have way too many photos clogging up our hard drives but oh well, we'll look back on them all one day and be glad we took them! It's not every month that there will be a handbag in our favourites because sadly our collection isn't quite big enough for that yet but this month we do have one, Gabby recently got a Kardashian Kollection bag in a bright blue that we both are loving and can't get enough of, it's big enough to fit everything she needs and adds a perfect pop of colour to her usually monochromatic outfits! Finally we have to mention our favourite foods of this month and a big one recently has been watermelon, after being out in the sun watermelon is the best way to get refreshed as well as being super healthy so that's a bonus! But our second food (well actually drink) favourite is definitely on the more unhealthy side but it's too good to turn down, the Starbucks coffee frappacino with a pump of hazelnut is our go too summer drink whenever there's a Starbucks near by, which unfortunately for our bank accounts, is way too often! We seriously recommend this drink to any of you coffee lovers especially if, like us, you love everything hazelnut!

That's it for this month! We hope you enjoyed reading this post and hopefully got some ideas of things to try out, talk soon lovelies!
