Monthly Favourites | October



Another month has passed (two if you count September without a favourites) which means it's time for a monthly favourites :)  I have been trying a lot of new products in October, so let's get started!

Normally this product is priced around €9,-, but I picked it up at Action for €0,90
Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Scrub. I am a big fan of Clearasil to clean my face and (hopefully) clear it from pimples. I had run out of my usual (Wash & Mask for Spots and Scars) and came across this scrub. I personally love scrubs for my body, but am more cautious when it comes to my face because my face is more sensitive. I have been using this one for a few months now, and I absolutely LOVE it. I use this in combination with my other Clearasil Wash, and it makes my skin feel really soft and it reduces pimples very effectively. 
The only thing I am still not used to, is the smell. It doesn't stink, but it has a different scent than I expected. It smells like avocado, so if you like that it's a catch! 

Nivea Body Lotion Douche. This is one of the new products from Nivea, it's a body lotion to be used in the shower. It saves time, because you can get dressed right after showering. 
I really liked using this as it got colder outside, and my skin needed to be taken care of. I apply is after my shower gel, and leave it on my skin for one of two minutes (the time it takes to put conditioner in my hair). Wash off and my skin feels softer already! The soft feeling stays for two days, and I can feel a difference in my skin after using it for a while. My skin feels like it's better hydrated and sheds a lot less.

I got this as a gift from when I passed school (in June.....) but haven't tried it out because there was bad press going around. The news and internet claimed that people fell over in the bathroom after using this product and that the packaging didn't alert people. I got around to trying it (and found the alert on the packaging) and made sure my bathroom floor was dry and clear before stepping out. I haven't had problems with that at all!!

Garnier BB Cream. I have been wanting to try a BB cream ever since it became a 'thing'. School and work always having my time, I never really found time to try it, sadly :( So I was very excited that SALE season came along, and no school to take all my time, I ran to the store and bought it. I first went online and read over 20 reviews about BB cream and which one would be best.
I found this one and I am very happy with it :) My pimples are less red, almost gone, my under eye circles seem lighter and the overall coverage is great. When you apply it, you can see that you applied it, but 10 minutes later your skin and the cream have blended and it looks very natural.


Fleece socks. I am very cold, very easily. Whilst strolling through Primark a few weeks ago, I came across these socks. They have fleece on the inside (and happy design on the outside) and keep me extremely warm :)

Notebook. I am a person to make lists of everything. Everything? Everything! I write down what I want to do, what I think about some things, what I want to buy and so on.
I am currently working on a project with my cousin, and all that I have to do is in my notebook. Who I have to call, who I have to email.... And as I am in the middle of planning my year to Australia, my packing list and my list of gadgets are to be found in my notebook. What I still need to purchase, what I already did. My brainstorming for my blog, not to forget, is in the back of my notebook. Apart from everything else, so I am able to write down some ideas faster.
I love this one because it has an elastic band to keep it closed when it's in your bag. (Yes, I take my notebook with me. You never know when you can get inspired!! Or need to write something down)

What are your favourite things this month? 

Love, Danielle
