The first thing on my list the Andrew Barton Anti-Frizz serum, I bought a gift set in the Boxing Day sales and it came with a mini of the serum and minis of the shampoo and conditioner in the same range. The products were really great for my normally uncontrollable frizzy hair and I got the whole lot for £2.50. Although the pump on my beloved serum was utter rubbish and I ended up sawing it off which ended in tragedy when it was accidentally packed up with where I store my eye products and leaked everywhere The general range itself is exclusive to Asda so it comes as no surprise that it's really very resonable (with the full-size serum costing £2.50). And I've also tried the SOS hair mask and it did wonders and smelt amazing, so I think I might splurge a bit not to far in the distance future and try some more things in the range as they seem reliable.
Another beauty product I've loved this month was my gel eyeliner. This was a bit of a leap of faith because I've only ever been able to use the pens but I found it would always go grey and gunk up if I used it over my eyeshadow. So I picked one up with an offer in Superdrug and have been loving it ever since. It takes longer than my usual choice of Soap and Glory's Supercat liner but it sets like a rock and so far it's never looked grey. Although I think I need to pick up a new Mac 266 brush because I use it for my eyebrows as well and having to keep spot cleaning it is massively time consuming.
I've also been loving Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme du Nude. I put it on under my eyeshadow (when I can remember) as a base/ primer and I have to say it's been working a treat. I've also heard it's complete dupe for Mac's Soft Ocre but it's only £5 so if you've wanted to try it or are running low on Mac maybe try this and see how you like it.
My last beauty favourites are my Mac lipsticks. I got them for Christmas and I adore them. I don't think there's thing like the smell and feel of a Mac lipstick. I have the shades Brave and Snob. Snob is a muted bubblegum/ Barbie pink with a satin finish and Brave is best described as a mauve-y pink-y nude and is a satin finish but I find goes on a little more matte than Snob.
Next, and first on my random favourites list are my rose gold GHDs. Limited edition from last year my mum tracked them down and bought them for me for Christmas. And I love them, I use them everyday and still love just looking at them because they're so blooming gorgeous. And straighter wise I don't think you can go wrong with GHDs they straighten my hair like a dream.
I have also been loving Sali Hughes' Pretty Honest. Not only does it look gorgeous in the background of my blog photos and on my bedside table but it's actually a really great read. I don't necessarily agree with everything Sali has to say but I do looooove her 'feminist' approach to beauty. I think with a lot of these 'beauty guides' you can take what people have to say with a pinch of salt but it's such an easy read that you can dip in and out of.

One thing that has changed my haircare routine is my Tangle Teezer. It just glides through my normally uncontrollable hair and it helps I can use it on wet and dry hair-as I often do. I just can't believe it took me so long to jump on to the bandwagon.
Music favourites this month are a rather cheesy affair. By that I mean I've basically been listening to nothing but musicals. Particularly the Heather's the musical soundtrack. So much so I've been listening to it every morning as I get ready and it really peps me up for the day ahead. This dark humour approach inspired heavily by the film is just an absolute dream for me. Definitely have a listen if your a musical geek and even if you're not. It's just a work of genius in my opinion and I can't believe I've only just come across it.
And my final favourite is also very musical based it is of course Grease Live! They just did such a good job from the casting to the costumes; it was just so well done. And Vanessa Hudgens' portrayal of Rizzo captured the character so well. As was Jordan Fisher's interpretation of Doody; his rendition of one of my favourite songs (Those Magic Changes) definitely did it justice the same way Vanessa Hudgens smashed Worse Things I Could Do (my absolute favourite).
