Can you believe it's nearly the end of the year! And the last monthly favourites of the year! This month i have really found some incredible products that i am in love with and some old favourites that you forget how good they really are.

Cover fx mattifying setting spray

I first tried this a few months ago in a mini size and used it up within a week, it was too good to put down, and its taken me to the end of november to be able to pick up a full size one as it has been sold out everywhere! This is such a fine mist and sets the makeup beautifully and keeping you matte all day long.
Giorgio Armani power fabric foundation

I have used this for a good half of the year and i haven't used it for a couple of months and omg i forgot how good this is!! This is a satin matte finish so it's not a drying cakey matte look, it makes the skin look instantly flawless and the longevity of the foundation is amazing.
The ordinary high spreadability fluid primer

I already have their silicone primer and i was a bit apprehensive to try this one but a friend said it was amazing, so i kindly recieved this for my birthday and oh gosh i'm never looking back now! I much prefer this one, i have already used a quater of the bottle! It is so smoothing and velvety on the skin and the makeup really sticks to the base and keeps me matte as well which is always a bonus as it doesn't mention that it's a mattifying primer.
Ofra glazed doughnut highlighter

I already have ofras beverly hills highlighter which is a mixture of colours, so i already know the pigmentation and intensity of these highlights are amazing, i tried for so long to get glazed doughnut and finally it was mine. I am one pale arsed girl so this is the perfect shade for me and im stunned it is so blinding, and the formula is so soft and buttery that it blends like a dream.
Glossier boy brow in clear

I have the blonde version which i use for natural fluffy brow days, but i wanted the clear to test it againest my other clear brow gels and yes i fricking love it. I love that it actually has the slight white tint to it as i feel it lightens the brow colour slightly if i have gone overboard. It doesn't make your brows hard or crispy just leaves them perfectly set in place.
Jouer ice highlighter

This is again a bit like ofra glazed doughnut that same kind of white highlight though i would say this is only a tiny bit more toned down and sort of has a lavender undertone to it which is very flattering on my skintone. I do my highlight the same way no matter what product by applying the highlight then setting my face with setting spray and add more highlight on top when the skin is nearly dry so it makes it pop and blinding.
Too faced sweetie pie bronzer

I have heard very mixed reviews about this product, for the one the description of the product "a radient matte bronzer" surely its one or the other. Plus the peachy pink colours within the bronzing colours. But to say the least i was so excited when i unwrapped this on my birthday and i cannot put it bloody down!! It somehow is radient and matte and the peachy colours in the powder make it the perfect natural bronzer for a pale skin beauty, i have already made a dent!!
Glossier moon mask

As i have oily skin i normally use detoxifying masks to get rid of any of the crap stuck in my face, but i ordered both the glossier masks so i used the detoxifying one first then the moon mask to then put moisture back into my skin and oh my gosh!! This is amazing!! You can use it as a sleeping mask or just a 20 minute mask, i leave mine on for as long as possible and when you wash it off your skin feels like silk and not to mention how hydrated your skin feels afterwards.
Bath and body works salted caramel apricot fine fragrance mist

We all know i have many of these but this scent just speaks to me, it's very sweet but also has a tang of brandy to the scent which is in the notes but i love it. It lasts on my skin all day to just give my skin a slight scent.
