I'm no beauty guru, but this year has definitely been a year where I've discovered a whole load of brilliant beauty products. Today I thought I'd share with you my favourites of 2017!

Magnitone London Limited Edition Barefaced Brush

I 've had my eye on these facial cleansing bruhses ever since they came about a few years ago now, and recently I've been saying how I've been lacking on that secondary stage of cleaning. I'm great and cleansing my face to remove all my make-up and grub of the day, but sometimes I feel like I need a second cleanse, just to ensure my skin is super squeaky clean. Of course, when Magnitone London offered to send me one of their Limited Edition Barefaced Cleansing and Toning Brush*, I thought Christmas had come early.

Pink Parcel

Last week I took part in an instagram collaboration with Pink Parcel. Pink Parcel are a subscription box (I know what you're thinking, not another one) with a bit of a twist. They're not your typical beauty box, although they can have a few beauty related goodies in, they're actually a subscription service for when you're on your period. Absolutely genius.

My new favourite moisturiser

I'm not one to spend a lot on skincare. In fact, I try to avoid the high end brands. Currently the only slightly pricier items I have in my skincare collection is the Pixi Cleansing Balm (£18), and the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (£15) which I asked for as a gift. Looking at these now, they're not the most expensive out there, but for a student on a budget, they're not your typical Garnier Cleansing Water that will cost you a fiver and last you a lifetime.

An Autumnal lipstick I wont be using

Every now and again I come across a product I'm not too fond of. Unfortunately, the Loreal Matte Lip Paint is one of them. Autumn has rolled around and out has come the dark reds and berrys in my make-up collection. I'm not big with bold lips, but a dark red tone is surprisingly something I'm relatively happy to wear. I have two in my lippy collection already - a lovely matte one from NYX, and another from Rimmel which has a little more sheen. When I travelled back to Ipswich the other week to visit a local pumpkin patch with Jamie for the perfect Halloweeny blog photoshoot, you can imagine my despair when I realised I'd not bought either of my darker lipsticks home with me. Of course, my blog and my instagram could not possibly have all these pumpkin patch photos without a dark lip, so off I popped to Tesco for a last minute hunt for one. The Matte Lip Paint is what I picked up.
