Monthly Favourites #8 - November

It's time for another monthly faves! I'm still going with my method of keeping away from beauty things and do the little categories I've chosen below!!

Song

I bought this the second it came out and pre-ordered their new album not much longer after! I love this song and the simplicity of the video - plus black and white is uber classy. Got to love these guys and their music as much as I tried not to all those years ago...

Picture

My favourite picture from this month has to be this one I took while on a little walk back at the start of the month. The colours of Autumn have been everywhere recently and I've been obsessing over them on my Instagram. I just thought this was a nice picture, regardless of how cliché it is!!

TV Show

I have loved this show since 2005 when it first started, and I've been watching it ever since the 3rd episode aired! Now onto season 11, we're following the boys post-'Deanmon' and with the Darkness having fallen. I just love this so much!! Adding to that, Crowley and Castiel are making me laugh so much this season!

Movie

Having finally gone to the cinema for the first time in like 2 months, we chose to see the new Bond movie, Spectre. As a rating, I said 7/10 as I really loved Skyfall, and found this was a bit lackluster compared to it. It could have been 30 minutes shorter and less of the blonde woman in my opinion, but it's still worth a watch as I loved the action scenes!

Random Section

So for the random section, I've gone with this image of my General I use in my 'Warhammer' games with Cameron. He's recently introduced me to this game which is quite strategic and war themed, and I love it. So far I am undefeated with my Stormcast Eternals team and I love playing this so much. Definitely something for those who are quite geeky!

Hope you enjoyed these faves for November! What have you loved this month from each category? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe!

Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Nose Strips | Review

Who else thinks of pore strips and immediately thinks of Princess Diaries? Probably just me! I saw these while I was shopping the other day in Boots and I've always wanted to try them. Not sure why. I'm trying to think of new skin care ideas, and this just wanted to be in my basket! I picked some up and they come it at £4.99 in Boots and the pain of taking them off is almost worth it. You get six in a box, all individually wrapped with instructions on the back.

I put one one while having a mega blogging marathon the other night and this is what happened!

I followed the instructions of the back of the packets. I cleaned my face off from all makeup and 'dirt' before wetting my nose. I took it from the packet and placed it smooth side down onto the skin and pressed it down firmly. I had to leave it to dry for 15 minutes, so I carried on typing away while I waited. You can't really smell the tea tree oils at all, which I guess is a bonus if you don't like that scent! Once it began to feel stiff, or the time was up, it was time to take off.

I was still smiling here, 5 minutes in!

Not wanting to do a Princess Mia and tear it off my face, I went for the 'gentle' approach as indicated on the wrapper. This proved to be some entertainment for my Dad who so kindly offered to 'yank it off my nose' for me. I managed to peel it off okay, albeit it feeling like it stuck down with cement! I then carefully washed the area with water and pat-dried it with a towel.

My nose felt quite soft and clean afterwards - almost like when you take of a face mask. There was no irritation or pain, which I'm thankful for! I'll definitely use the other five strips from the packet and see if regular use proves any other results!

have you tried this brand of pore strips or any other kind? What happened? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Zoella All That Glimmers Powder Puff | Review

You may have seen that Zoella has released a new set of products for her beauty product range, adding to the previous products from last Autumn. You can see all the available products at Superdrug! If you remember when the other range came out, I tried three products and was really underwhelmed and disappointed in the products and the scent. You can read that review here.

I've got some of the new things from the Tutti Fruity range already, but now there are some Christmas products out! The Christmas products are from both the Classic Range and the Tutti Fruity one. This powder puff retails at £8 in Superdrug. I don't think that's too bad for the size of this as it's quite large and not something you'd usually see from the range.

The packaging is really cute like the rest of Zoe's products, and this colour scheme denotes it's from the Classic range. The packaging is a simple circular 'tub' with the products name and details on it - it's about the size of my palm. I had no idea what this was when I bought it off the website, as I'd not seen Zoe's video's about it by then!

Inside is a pale pink powder puff with the product already on it. It comes in a small plastic wrapper, so it's not wasted before you use it. It had a nice lace strap on it, so you can slip it over your hand to use it. You use it by gently wiping the puff up and down your arms/legs/neck and the product will settle onto the skin, giving off a nice shimmer. It smells really nice and leaves your skin feeling soft which is something I really like.

Have you tried any of the Zoella range, past or current? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
