My January Favourites :)

Before anyone says anything to me about these photos looking bright and weirdly coloured, I've edited the complete frick out of them! Reason being I have a shocking camera and partially because iI found this fun editing app and I couldn't help myself!
This post if you couldn't already tell is going to be about a few things I'm loving this month. Hope you enjoy :)

Lush Stuff

As many of ye may know I work in Lush Cosmetics. It's a wonderful all natural cosmetics shop with really great products. All products I mention on my blog are ones I've used and liked, I would never recommend something I didn't like, which I'm not gone on some products as they don't suit me. This month i'm loving lip scrubs. More precisely, Santa's Lip Scrub. 
A lip scrub is an exfoliater and moisturiser for the lips. It gets rid chapped dead skin to give you smooth kissable lips. Made with organic caster sugar, it gives the right amount of scrub. Also in there you have coconut oil to give moisture to the lips. It's flavor is amazing, it's cola! It's the aniseed, cherries and dates in this product that gives it it's lovely cola taste. It's a simple product to use, simply like your lips, take a pinch of the lip scrub, rub it along your lips and lick away the excess as it's totally edible. Unfortunately this product has been discontinued but go into a Lush shop and check out their similar lip scrubs such as Bubblegum, Popcorn and Mint Julips.

Another product I am loving from Lush is their Grease Lightning spot treatment. This thing has become my saviour over the last while. My skin of late resembles that of a child's connect the dot book. I blame christmas (it's January it's totally acceptable to everything on christmas). 
This product helps dry up any troublesome spots and pesky blemishes. Its ingredients include witch hazel and tea tree to help dry up the spot and also prevent further breakout. It dries up the spot without drying out the skin. It has aloe vera so it's suitable for even the sensitive souls!. You pump out a piece of the product onto a clean finger, dab it onto the spot and leave it be. I found that when i used Grease Lightning by spots and blemishes were gone or had faded considerably the next day!. It's Jesus in a bottle. 

Aftershaves.

Paco Rabanne 1 Million.... enough said! 
Seriously though it has been and probably will be my favourite aftershave for a very long time. Yes it is expensive but you're paying for quality. I am bad with smells but it smells how a hot business man should smell like. The scent stays on all day and doesn't wear away. Also that gold bottle screams luxury.

Hair

I am loving L'oreal Elnett hairspray so so much this month.

 It is perfect for me as i tend to have OCD when it comes to my hair so i can easily brush the hairspray out and start again if i hate how my hair looks. Most other brands leave your hair sticky and hard which means washing the product out. It smells gorgeous like a perfumed talc, unlike like others. I got the big 700ml bottle because i know it will be used!

Candles

\Yup, I said it... Candles! I'm out of the candle loving closet. There's nothing more relaxing then lighting a candle and writing a blog. A candle in particular I love is by Yankee Candles. It's one from their christmas range called Christmas Eve.
At first when i smelled this candle in the shop i have no particular feelings towards it but my housemate got it and after a few times of smelling it whilst it was lit I really like the smell. Its not a typical christmas scent as you would imagine it would be. It's more sweet without that spicy christmas smell. It's perfect for those who want to keep christmas going that little bit longer. I wouldn't normally buy Yankee candles as I couldn't possibly afford an addiction like that, but i got this half price as most stores have sales on the leftover christmas range. So buy it while you still can!

Games

Like most of the entire world I am a Candy Crush addict. I have a love/hate relationship with this games but I'm constantly playing it. I JUST CAN'T STOP!!!!
It's a good game to kill time if you're waiting for a bus or you're in a crappy lecture. This game consumes you, play with caution. P.S. please send me lives...

That is it for my January favourites. Hope you enjoyed!
Any questions on anything mentioned just ask and if you want to be so kind as to share this post please do :)
