My December Favourites!


So, I suppose I have got the dreaded first post over with, and now I can just start bloging like normal, right? If you do have any queries as such or questions, or even any recommendations or reviews you want me to do, comment on this post, email me at TheStudentBeautyBag@gmail.com or contact me through any of the social media sites on the right of this page, I promise I will listen!

Anyway I have chosen my first proper post to be..... (if you haven't already guessed it by the title yet!) My December Favourites. I realised for you guys to get to know me more, I should tell you a few of my favourite Beauty, Hair, Fragrance & Lifestyle things of the past month. I hope you enjoy reading my favourites!

Beauty
This past month hasn't been the best month for new (and exciting) beauty products, I haven't been the best at experimenting with new products, and have kind of stuck with the same old boring products :(. But saying that there have been a couple of essential products that I have used this month, and have been really loving, Que. the maybe short of maybe long list:


Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer-£5.49
I LOVE this concealer, and have gone through three bottles of this stuff since I got it in the Summer. But I really have been loving it recently because I have braved the fresh faced look (oh my god), and this has really helped, I started to get really fed up with foundation every morning, so I just used this. It is a full coverage concealer, that really wakes you up (hence the name), and is perfect for brightening the dreaded under eye circles, and those pesky red blemishes.

Real techniques miracle complexion sponge- £5.99
This sponge has really earnt it's place in my December Favourites, ever since I brought it in mid November, I have used it everyday to blend in my foundation and concealer. Before I tried this sponge I had never tried a make-up sponge before, so I had little exceptions, but boy this little thing has changed my life so much, I haven't touched my other concealer and foundation brushes since! I may even do another blog post on this because I have so much love for it, would you like that?

Hair
As you know (or actually you don't because this is only my second post) I have the worlds most frizzy, curly, dreadful hair, I just hate it. I have never really like the fact that my hair was just weird, normal curly hair doesn't have half of much frizz than mine, it's intolerable. Because of this though it always seems that I'm trying new products for my hair, that I hope will change my life forever, unfortunately this month I haven't really experimented much, apart from the next product.


Wella System Professional Clear Scalp- £10.95
As well as having crazy curly and frizzy hair, I also sometimes have psoriasis and eczema on my scalp, and shampoos and conditioners really irritate it. I know this is supposed to be a student friendly blog, with the drugstore and cheaper versions of the high end versions, and this product really isn't 'drugstore' but I had to include it. This shampoo has really helped since I got it in mid November, every time I have washed my hair I just rub it in, and it doesn't make the skin sting and itch, it has been a real life saver.

Fragrance
Ohhhh how much do I love fragrance, perfume and body sprays are one of my favourite things in the world, and I have my fare few of them. I love the delicate little bottles of perfumes and the practicality of body sprays and that you can take them anywhere, and they even smell nice. For many of your fragrance lovers this perfume will not be a surprise, and let's all LOVE it together (yay).


Honey Eau De Parfum By Marc Jacobs (50ml) Gift Set- £39.50
This perfume is just perfect, nothing else is needed to say anything about it. The sweet, floral feel when you spray it is just filled with happiness, it has a happy scent that would be perfect for anyone, and just makes you smile. The fruity orange, peach and apricot scent mixed in with the base notes of vanilla and honey, really add to the perfume, and make it very summery. But lets not forget the bottle, oh my god, it is just amazing, and really represent the scent inside, and is perfect for adding a sprinkling of summer to your dressing table. Can you tell its my favourite scent?

Lifestyle
My lifestyle choice this month isn't really in the lifestyle category, it is a fashion favourite. Anyone who knows me will know that i have a massive passion towards shoes, I love them. Flats, boots, Heels, anything, I will stare at them for hours in a shop window and dream about them till I cant handle it and break the bank by buying them. When i first saw these nest pair of boots, I fell in love and had to get them.


Black Cut Out Buckle Ankle Boots- £24.99
These boots are just amazing, they are just what i was looking for, with a perfect price tag. The cut out bits panels add interesting detail to the boot, and the buckles really add to the all together look of the boot. The heel is roughly 3.5 inches (9cm), which for me is quite high to walk around in everyday, but they are really nice if you are only running a few errands, or going to lunch. They look really nice with jeans and leggings, and even tights with a skater skirt, they add detail to the outfit and can dress up an outfit too. These boots are a perfect all round boot and I really recommend them, and can you really resist that price tag?
