Favorites: November

So, I know that monthly favorites are usually done at the end of a month, but I just had so many favorite things already this month that I decided I would go for it. Most of these items are beauty products because for some reason these past few weeks I have decided to try out some new products. I have learnt to love many new things and have added them to my normal routines.

Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Reactivating Mist
This is my all time favorite new hair care product. If you are a curly girly and have not yet tried this stuff, then you are missing out. It is absolutely unbelievable! I use it after every shower when my hair is damp, but I found it's best use is when you spray it in before bed. If you have curly hair then you know that second day curls are just never as good as the first. But when I wake up after having sprayed the mist in my hair, the curls are sometimes even better then the first day. I can now wear my hair down two days in a row instead of hiding my hair in a bun when the curls are less then satisfactory.


DevaCurl 'DevaFuser' Diffuser
Another great product for curly hair. Diffusers are meant particularly for curly hair, but I have never found one that I liked. My hair always gets really frizzy and the curls don't last. But then I discovered this super special one. The shape is specifically made so the airflow is 360 degrees around the hair. This way you can stick the diffuser inside the hair as if using your hands (hence the shape), and just dry away.

My Nail Polish Collection
For a very long time, I have been a nail biter. It has gotten to the point where I just don't think my nails are as healthy as they could be. So, I decided would start painting my nails more often in order to refrain from destroying them. I store my polish in a tin box I got in London (best box ever), and it only holds a small amount but I have a very specific taste in polish color.


I basically only wear shades of blue and black. Here are my favorites right now.



Fujifilm instax mini
As an aspiring photographer, I just love when a photograph looks really old. Old family photos from the 80s and 90s are so beautiful. The colors are brighter and everything looks really retro. That has a lot to do with polaroids. Unfortunately, the Polaroid company went out of business. Luckily, fujifilm has created their own instant cameras that work just as well, and they are mini! Love love love this camera. It took me a bit of time to really understand how it works and get the best images, but it is totally worth it. If you are looking to buy one, try amazon because they are much cheaper Urban Outfitters.


Smith's Rosebud Salve Balm
Its getting colder and my lips are getting dryer. I put this balm on every morning as part of my routine, and it stays on forever even through eating. It keeps my lips moisturized and looks really pretty on. 


Benefit Rockateur Blush
I bought this product a while ago, but only started using it pretty recently. It adds the perfect amount of color to my face in the morning and is super build-able. That way, if you want a more subtle glow it works as both a natural color and a highlighter. Super subtle natural color that works with every skin tone.
