Hello lovely people!
I hope you're all having a great day.
Wow how quick has January gone by?! I'm not complaining though as I'm not really a fan of this month and I'm happy to be moving towards Spring/ Summer.

I've never done a monthly favorites before, but I found that this month I have tried and loved a lot of new things and if this receives a good reception, (is that even a phrase?) then I shall continue talking about the things I have loved of late.
I didn't realize until I put them all together that the majority of my favorites are pink!
♥ Batiste dry shampoo
Oooh I have been loving this so much, I normally buy the 'blush' scent from batiste and find it works very well for those days when you just don't have the time to wash and dry your hair. I decided to have a change and give the cherry version a whirl and I love it! It has such fruity, clean scent. I also love this because it gives me the root lift I long for so much.
♥ Next just pink
Now, this perfume is one I have loved for ages. I used to wear it all the time when I was about 14, I remember thinking it was the perfect light scent for school. Whilst doing some Christmas shopping last year, I popped into next and saw there was a pretty pink stand saying 'Next Just Pink' with a tester underneath, I sprayed it and it honestly took me back to being 14- isn't it strange how scents can do that! Anyway, it is a floral perfume but definitely not 'heady' floral (this is for sure as I detest the scent of roses- bleurgh just the thought turns my stomach) it is very light, clean and fresh. I think this is primarily a Spring/Summer perfume but I use it all seasons. Also, how pretty is the bottle?! - Pink and Rose Gold aaahhhh love it!
♥ Over-sized pink sparkly hair bow
I had seen so many people wearing these and thought they looked so sweet and seemed to jazz up any mundane hairstyle. I got mine from a small independent stall in my local shopping center and it only cost £2. I have worn it so many times this month and love to put it at the back of my head when my hair is up in a messy bun.
♥ Garnier micellar water
This is the first micellar water I've ever tried so can't really compare it to other brands but I have been using it for 2 weeks and so far, I am very pleased with it. There is no scent to this which I like as I use it around my eyes and want something gentle for that. I remove the majority of my makeup with my usual face wash, then smooth this around my face on a cotton pad. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight which was my main concern, it removes the excess makeup like a dream and leaves no greasy residue on my skin. In the mornings since I've been using this, my skin has looked clear and felt clean and all this for just £3.33 bargain!
♥ Wilkinson kiss lip scrub
I mentioned the kiss lip scrub in this post and did a full review on it there if you're interested. I have been using this a lot recently as in winter, my lips become oh-so-dry and this really helps combat that.
♥ Benefit posietint
This is just a small bottle of posietint that I bought in a pack of 3 benefit tints about 6 months ago. I started using it as I had forgotten about it and just wanted to use it up to be honest. I now think I will soon be buying the full size as it gives such a lovey rosy glow to my cheeks, It lasts all day and a little goes a long way.
♥ Hand warmers
These are not a recent buy but I have used them lots this month, well this winter really. I think I purchased them from Avon about a year ago. They have little disks in them that you snap and some science-y chemical reaction occurs which in turn makes the hand warmers heat up. These are great for on the go and you can reuse them, all you have to do is pop the inside into a pan of hot water and they return to normal again.
