October Favorites | Sarah's

Hello, wow so its really been a month since Alanah and I started this blog, its flown by and I love doing it! I'm going to show you my favorite products and things for this month, there's not to many but I thought I'd show you these little bits.


First is this Jack Wills Body Butter in the scent English Velvet I got this quite a while ago and I used to obsessed with Jack Wills and I loved this body butter, and I honestly don't know why I ever stopped using it! The smell of this body butter is unimaginable it's my favorite scent of the moment. It just smells of Autumn to me. Its quite a musky smell and slightly floraly, and I don't normally like floral scents but this is just amazing.


 The texture of this body butter is super thick and creamy. This makes it really moisturizing on your body and its very easy to spread evenly. Allowing you to only use the amount you actually need. Which in my opinion is great as you can save as much as possible.

 This product dry's on your body quickly but keeps it feeling smooth and moisturized. It then doesn't leave a sticky residue which is great as it means you don't have to stand there for ages waiting for your body to dry. 


Because I love this scent so much I bought the perfume of the same scent. So I'm all sorted, if you were to buy this now they've changed the packaging to a very boring transparent bottle with some writing on *cry*. But in the bottle is the same product. 

The packaging this came in is absolutely beautiful. It comes in a box as any perfume normally would. But the bottle itself sits in this silk lined pillow. It makes the product look like its very important and expensive. I loved the packaging so much that it sits in the packaging still on my bedside table for everyone to see.

I would highly recommend purchasing this for autumn or just go into a Jack Wills store and ask to smell this scent you wont regret it, I promise you.



I also love the mirror on the bottles lid! Can you spot me!


This next favorite is having winged eyeliner. This eyeliner is amazing its from Bourjois and has sadly been discontinued, I don't know how I will cope when this runs out! But I think use what works best for you.

I've been doing my eyeliner flicked out non-stop all Autumn. I love the look it gives and I actually love applying it in the morning (which some people would probably hate doing, aha). 


This certain one has a tiny brush so it therefore gives you excellent precision. It also dries really quickly so you don't have to worry about waiting for ages until you can curl your lashes.

If anyone knows where I can still purchase this product or one that sounds similar to it please let me know!


 I've briefly spoken about this product before but not in much depth. I heard about this product from Fleur from fleurdeforce on YouTube. She was saying how its very similar to Bioderma. I've been wanting to try Bioderma for ages but I cant find it, I dont think you can get it in the UK yet, but I have a feeling they're coming here soon.

Anyways I gave this a go and I actually really like it, it removes your makeup so easily and you don't have to rub it off your face vigorously, as this can damage your skin. Simply just pour some of the product onto a cotton pad and when removing eye makeup, hold this on your eyes for around 10-20 seconds and wipe away and your makeup should be almost gone, may have to repeat to be on the safe side as, this isn't as good as Bioderma looks but its still a great product.


The one negative about this product is the bottle. as it's square with a small hole to receive the product, I end up pouring out to much product and it tends to spill or I end up with a very wet face. So if you purchase this be sure to tip out as little product as possible as it goes a long way and remember you can always add on.


This next product has been a life savior for me these past few days. I get  really dry hands as the weather starts to get colder and sometimes they can be so bad they start to bleed. So I always need a hand cream on me in cold weather. This has been the best one I've tried and its the Soap & Glory hand food. This stuff is amazing!

Its a very creamy texture and lasts for ages. It doesn't feel greasy when you apply it, just very smooth. Also this smells incredible, It reminds me of playdoh (which I do like the smell of). For me if a product was amazing but didn't smell nice I wouldn't use it. The scent of a product is a very high factor that I take into account. Its quite a sweet scent and not very Wintery. But I need this in the Winter so I'm not going to complain. It says on the bottle; "Non-greasy hydrating hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow". So go smell this next time your in Boots, I promise you wont regret it.


 Finally my top favorite of this month, has to be blogging every day. Although I've only been blogging for a month I love it, and enjoy doing it so much. Now although I've loved posting everyday me and Alanah both go to college and are studying for our A-Levels so we cant post every day every month. However we will still be posting frequently so dont worry! 


 I want to thank each one of our followers we love all 20 of you! I took a picture of me with you, hope you like it! Please keep commenting as me and Alanah will always reply.

Whats In My Bag | autumn edition


I got this bag for Christmas last year and I still love it so much! Its not an overly large bag but I don't like to carry more than I need to. The bag is from Jasper Conran which they have in many department stores such as Debenhams and they also have their own website.


Firstly I have my purse which I also got last year as a gift for Christmas, its from River Island and is pretty big, I prefer to have larger purses than little ones because they have more individual pockets and I find it easier to find certain cards, notes, and receipts etc.


I then have some polo mints in the original flavor, I don't like the peppermint flavor ones so i only buy these, I like to keep these in my bag just for when I might be out for lunch or just want a fresher breath. I like to buy these in a pack of 5 from supermarkets because I always have them in my bag, I do end up saving money.


Next here I have my keys, which are an essential, not much to say about them they're lovely keys.
But I do have a key ring with the letter 'S' (for Sarah) that I bought a few years ago from London, i felt like a real tourist.


Now this was a great little gadget I ordered off ebay, what you do is charge this into your phone charger, and then when your out and your phone has low battery it charges your phone. Its really come in handy.


Next is a random little thing, just a hairband. But I do think every girl should carry round a hairband because I always seem to loose them or forget to have one on my wrist so I keep one in my bag just for emergencies.


This is a holder for my nail file, which is the best nail file I've ever used, I love painting and taking care of my nails (even though their not looking great here) but I was given this one for my birthday and I would definitely recommend it. Unfortunately when I was taking photos for this post I noticed that it had snapped. But I thought I'd include it because I am going to repurchase it, and I thought I'd let you know what I thought of it.


Now here I have my makeup bag, I like to take this around with me because I am very spontaneous and normally when I'm out I end up going out after or staying somewhere after. So then theirs always a chance i'll need to top up on my makeup or need it for the next day, I normally don't need everything in my makeup bag its normally just my powder and lipstick to re-apply throughout the day. 
Let me know if you'd like to see a whats in my makeup bag post


Next I always like to carry some form of hair brush or comb, again because I end up doing something after I've been out. Also because I have naturally wavy hair I do find that throughout the day, so I normally take something with me to make it look more presentable. I currently had a comb in my bag so that's what I thought I'd show you but I sometimes carry an actual brush.


Now this is something that I find I really need throughout autumn and winter, a lip balm. I noticed a lot of beauty guru's on YouTube raving about these so I thought I'd try one, and I love it. This flavor is 'caramel cream', and it smells unbelievable I just literally want to eat this (but please don't if you buy this, haha!). The texture of these lip balms are so creamy and last for a really long time on your lips. I would really recommend these. 


This again is a real essential for me throughout the colder months, a hand moisturizer and this is my favorite one I've ever tried, this one is the soap and glory hand food. This leaves your skin just feeling lovely and moisturized, but what I really love about this product is that it doesn't leave a greasy residue and it dries really quickly but leaves your hands still feeling soft. Also the smell of this product is just like all of the soap and glory products, it smells amazing. I really think everyone who gets dry hands should buy this its so worth the money.


Next product is my body splash from Victoria Secret and these last for ages, I use this daily and have only used around a third of it. My sister bought this for me when she went shopping because I didn't go shopping as I went to France to see my Nan and Grandad. (Bless her) and i love the scent (she knows me so well). Even though this is quite a summery scent I haven't yet found a autumn scent that I like more than this, to stop using this one.

Finally I like to take my glasses with me as I need them for reading things from long distance or if i get headaches I wear these as they help.
