Blogmas Day1 - November Favourites

Hi everyone!
 
The time has come for Blogmas! For those who don't know, Blogmas is basically blogging everyday until Christmas day! And as today is the 1st of December there is no better way to start of Blogmas then telling you all about my November favourites!
 
So November has been a fairly quite month for me so I have not tried out too many new products, but here are just a few that I have been reaching for basically everyday this past month. 
 
 
Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara £10.50
I have literally fallen in love with this mascara! Mascara is not one of those products that I have many of, once I found Maybelline the falsies I thought that I would never use another mascara again, until I picked this one up on a three for two offer in boots earlier in the month, and I have found my one true love. The mascara claims to give you length and volume on your lashes.. FAST. And so it does. This mascara gives my lashes so much volume and makes them look so much better than they are, and it doesn't separate them at all, which is always a plus for me when it comes to mascara.
 
Elf Matte Lip Colour in Rich Red £3.95
This is such an amazing lip product. I am always scared to wear a matte lip in the winter time as I do tend to get dry lips and matte products highlight dry areas, but not this one. This is such a moisturising lip product in such a beautiful classic red colour. The lasting power is amazing, I can wear these to work, talk all day, eat and drink and they are still on my lips at the end of the day. I love this lip product so much I went and brought all the other colours! Whoops!
 
Beauty Blender £24
When make-up sponges became really popular earlier this year I didn't really get them. I didn't like the way they applied makeup and I thought they took to long to apply my foundation. I read that no other makeup sponge worked as well as the actual beauty blender. So after quite a while of contemplating I finally took the plunge and splurged on one. And by gosh I am glad I did. I don't really use this for foundation as I like to get that over and done with quickly, but I use it to blend in my concealer over my face and under my eyes. It is just a bloody fantastic product, it blends even the most stubborn of concealers and makes my face look flawless.
 
Revlon Colourstay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin £12.99
I first brought this foundation about 18 months ago and used it so much that I used the whole bottle I had. Once that bottle was gone I just went from foundation to foundation, trying to find one that would give me a nice finish but also keep my oily skin at bay, and I never really found anything. I was wondering the isles of boots this month and I found this beauty again and remembered how much I loved it when I first had it. And I fell in love again. It gives such a good medium but buildable coverage and keeps my oily skin at bay. I only need to powder once a day, and that is about 6-7 hours after I first applied it. It doesn't slip off my face or make me look cakey. I am so glad I repurchased this foundation, as it is now my holy grail foundation.
 
Elf Tone Correcting Powder - Cool £3.95
I was slightly sceptical when purchasing this product. It does look quite scary because of the colours, but it does come out quite translucent. It is such a light and airy product. I like to put it on over my primer but under my foundation, just to even out my complexion and to mask any redness and dark spots. It basically does what it says on the tin. Its makes my skin look brighter and more awake. I don't think I could leave this out of my everyday makeup routine!
 
So there are all the things that I have been enjoying this month. Please let me know in the comments what your favourite products of November have been!
 
Happy Blogmas!
