Hello everyone, it's day 2 of Blogmas and I thought it was well due for a favourites post. Today I am doing my November favourites which include a mixture of beauty and lifestyle items. November for me was a month of stress and anxiety, mainly because of exams and uni interviews but I know I'm not the only one in this boat so lets just move on.

LIFESTYLE: when it came to choosing items for my favourites it was clear for me, as November has been a month of serious weather change and with the fast approaching Christmas day, of course I have been loving hot chocolates. Winter is the only time I will actually drink hot chocolate (I am more of a smoothie girl) so I have been making my own as I know exactly how milky I love it to be. The perfect hot chocolate for me is milky, marshmallows and whipped cream, however I have run out hence why the image is missing the whipped cream.

Now what goes better with a hot chocolate than movies. I am a massive movie girl, I love Disney films, action films and chick flicks. There has however been one film I have been watching over and over again and that is FROZEN. Yes I am aware of how over rated and hyped frozen has become but honestly what's better than having a hot chocolate, chilling out on the sofa and singing along to 'let it go', the answer simply is nothing, I know you all agree. I can definitely tell my love for movies recently will be coming along with me into the month of December.

BEAUTY: I have included majority of beauty products in this favourites post because simply I have been really getting into makeup recently, probably because of all the fabulous 3 for 2 deals in Superdrug, the urge to spend when my pay check comes through every month. The first item in my favourites is the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'eternal gold', I've spoken a lot about colour tattoos on my blog, but to be fair they are an amazing alternative for a powder eyeshadow and gold is the colour for autumn/winter in my eyes (see what I did there).

The next beauty item is again from Maybelline, its their BB cream which has been my lifesaver. I do have naturally dry skin so for me a foundation is a no go area in the makeup department, but I have been having bad skin recently so I've needed something to cover those damn spots and under eye circles. I had never thought about using a BB cream in the winter but it works just as well as when I use it in the summer. In conjunction with this I have been loving 2 brushes this month, one being the buffing brush by Real Techniques which is perfect for blending that BB cream deep into the skin and the second brush being a flat top brush which has been perfect for apply powder to the eye area ensuring all that concealer stays in place for the day.

The last 2 beauty items are similar in colour. I love red in the winter and have been loving so this November. The lipstick I have chosen today is Rimmel Kate Moss in 110 which is a bright red colour, perfect for that Christmas day makeup, stay tuned I will be doing a makeup look VERY soon. I feel the red goes well with almost everything in my winter wardrobe. The next item is nail varnish which is part of Collection's limited edition and its a red/pink sparkly shade which has a texture to it, it feels like sand paper but in a good way, its perfect for Christmas time. Most of the time I will be wearing this colour around Christmas.

That is my November Favourites, I hope you've enjoyed reading and I will see you tomorrow!
