A Few Things I Loved During Winter

I thought I'd do something a little different on my blog (If I do decide to keep up with it) and do my favourites for every season.

Cos' if I'm honest, I'm not buying as much as I used to anymore - and I still love the things I mentioned in previous favourites posts lol.

Soooo, this post is full of post Christmas treats and classic obsessions...

001: possession - a.s. byatt:
I mentioned I picked up this book in my last book blog post (read here for more plot line details) and I said that having read that this was waaaaay better than The Children's Book and I have to say I agree. This novel consumed me in a plot of two scholars studying two poets and come together when one of them discovers letters that link them in a romantic way.

Set in the 80's, with the two scholars going on a journey of seeing the truth through the mystery, the novel also includes tastes of the poetry and letters the characters who lived in the Victorian times. In all, I read this so quick and is an instant fave.

002: impress press on nails:
I bought a set in the summer, loved them, and then picked up these pretty iridescent ones for Christmas Day. And the great news? I had enough nails to wear another set for when I was on holiday in January! Wooo.

I can't be bothered with glue on nails, and these were super easy to press on and they last for ages. (A week each time to be precise!) So do believe all the influencers who have paid partnerships with this brand.

003: revolution pro mischief mattes eyeshadow palette:
You've seen me rave about this palette before. It's perfect for creating summer looks - or general bright looks to bring some colour to the dark cold winter days! I've experimented so much with this beautifully pigmented palette. I have to say the colours do blend to a dull colour, so they're best applied with fingers and then lightly blended. A perfect Morphe dupe.

004: lush mint julips lip scrub:
A true classic in my opinion for making the lips hydrated and smooth ready for any lipstick or lip balm! Tasting like after eights with caster sugar, jojoba oil and peppermint. I can't go a day without using this every morning...

005: skinnydip london purse:
A rare impulse purchase and how could I resist this holographic purse?? The only ones I've owned in recent years has been Cath Kidston ones. So it was a nice change to get this in the Black Friday sale last year. It's perfect for all my points cards and cash and I feel so cool whenever I pull it out haha.

006: zoella beauty cosmic range:
The spa collection gift set from Zoe was reduced to £15 after Christmas so how could I not snag a box up?? EVERYTHING in the set is gorgeous and so lovely! I particuarly love the foaming scrub as it's not too harsh on the skin and perfect for using before the body whip cream. Plus the scent of vanilla and peppermint is to die for...
