January Favourites!


Can you believe that tomorrow is going to be the beginning of February? It seems like yesterday we were celebrating Christmas! I am excited for February though, as I am going to be celebrating my 21st Birthday! Ahh exciting times! This post is going to be a little roundup of all of my favourite things I have used in January. Enjoy!


Who doesn't love to sit down and watch a Disney movie? There is something so relaxing and comforting about drinking a cup of tea with a film on, forgetting about all the other hundred things that I am supposed to be doing. I own pretty much all of the Disney classics now as I have been collecting them over the past couple years. Surprisingly I didn't have these! I love Snow White. It was the first Disney movie that I ever watched so I really enjoyed reminiscing on my childhood this month.


This is a bit of a weird favourite to have but is something that has honestly helped me over the past year. Bach Rescue Remedy spray. If you are struggling with anxiety or have general worries then you really should try this spray. I have had anxiety since being very little, but think that in the past year I have began to understand that what I was feeling wasn't normal and that I can do things about that to make myself feel better. I was recommended to use this spray from a lady who I was talking to about my anxiety. It has been a life saver. It doesn't make you forget about things, but it just makes you feel a lot calmer. I don't know, it works for me! I am currently trying out the night spray to see if that makes a difference to my sleeping habits, as I have recently struggled to settle down for the night. We will see if it works!


My brothers girlfriend bought me this set of 4 mini perfumes from Victoria Secret for Christmas. I absolutely love how cute they all look! There isn't one that I don't like either, which is often not the case when you buy a gift set! They are the perfect size to pop into a clutch bag too and fit nicely in my uni bag for touchups on the go!


Since Christmas I have been reaching for a more muted lipstick. Over the festive holidays I really wore out my dark lip so I love that I can put this on without worrying about smudging and staining! This is Pink Plaid by MAC and is a matte finish. It is my perfect nude and I have worn it pretty much every day. 


The two little jewellery favourites that I have been loving recently come in the form of these super cute Minnie Mouse earrings that I was gifted for Christmas, and this simple bar rose gold necklace that I purchased the other day. I just love the earrings though, they were bought for me in my most favourite place ever...Disneyland Paris! The necklace was from Primark and was £1.50 complete bargain!


My final favourite and complete highlight of this month has to be The Lion King. The Lion King has always been one of the theatre shows that I have wanted to see, but always been either too expensive or just not the right time to go. I was over the moon when my dad told me that we were going! We try to go to see something up in London once a year as a family. I can't recommend seeing this show enough! Everything from the costumes, to the staging is spot on. The singing is amazing and the dances are incredibly talented! I can't wait to go back and see it again!

I hope you liked this post! If you didn't already know I have recently been uploading daily OOTD's over on this blog. I am doing it in a form of a style diary so in the future I can have some personal outfit inspirations, but I thought I would share it as well! I have put a lot of time and effort into it so would really appreciate the feedback!

Hope you have a lovely week! 
Lots of love, 


January Favourites!


Can you believe that it is already the end of January and beginning of February. I know I can't. The start to 2014 has already been incredible and I haven't even started back at university yet! (crazy I know!)

This month I have tried out some really great products and have even rediscovered some of my old favourites!

First of all this month was the month that I bought my first ever real techniques brush. If you had seen my twitter post (@bellamomentox) you would have seen my tweet of help of which brush should be my first and some people recommended this one to me which was what I got. The Expert face brush makes applying liquid foundation so much easier and I have found myself wearing liquid foundation more because of this. I always hated that some foundations were 'obvious' on my face and have been trying to find ways to solve this problem and this brush has done exactly that for me. I also love the nude magique eau de tent by l'oreal paris. This little duo is definitely going to be part of my daily make up routine now.

I was lucky enough to be given the Snow Fairy magic wand by lush for christmas and I have nearly used it all up already. It is one of my ultimate favourites from lush and I am ready for my backup to be used soon! It smells like candy and sugar and basically all of my favourite things compacted into one cute size star. When I was in the shop they said that all you have to do is swirl it around the bath a couple of times and then you will get some bubbles. This is definitely not the case. I have to hold it under the tap for about a minute or two to get maximum bubbles but the idea of it in a whole is great!

Something else new this month and featured in my previous superdrug haul post is this gorgeous dark pink/brown colour. This is part of the Little Mix collection with collection makeup and is Jades colour. I love how well this applies to the lips without having to moisturise and it stays on the lips without smudging or bleeding which is always a bonus.

Another lip product I have been loving is pretty boring. Vaseline. I have always had a love hate relationship with Vaseline as I never liked the taste it used to leave if you accidentally got it in your mouth. Also the pot is rather annoying as you have to make sure you wash your hands before use. I have been applying this after my bath and before I have gone to bed and love the results I have got. This is the Aloe Vera lip balm and it works a treat.

My favourite scent of the month has to be my Marc Jacobs Honey perfume. It is such a sweet and fruity scent which is what I really love in a perfume. I have been wanting this perfume for a while and was lucky enough to get it for christmas. The packaging of the perfume is just so gorgeous and it looks so decorative on the side of my dresser.

A random favourite this month is a movie. I have been loving Despicable me 1&2. I bought my brother the DVD for christmas and think I have watched it even more than he has. It is such a childish film but the jokes are relatable and funny for all ages I feel. I watched this with my little cousins and they are in love with the minions which is always a bonus!

Let me know what you have been loving in the month of January down below!
Have a great week!
