Usually, I switch up my makeup on a daily basis, choosing different products to cater to my change in mood, the weather or how my skin is feeling. Falling into bad habits recently, the cooler climate has made me want to stay in bed past my regular, 7am wake-up call, so I haven't had as much time to rifle through my collection every morning. Instead, I've filled my makeup bag with a variety of staple products and, for once, I've been happy to stick with them for longer than a week.

Who wants to waste any precious minutes of a chilled Sunday, by spending hours in front of the mirror, piling on a tonne of makeup? Not me. Unless I'm having a make-up free day, wearing my comfiest pjs and embarking on a Netflix marathon, then I want fuss-free, five minute routine, full of products that do all the hard work for me. But, I have a few rules. No liquid foundation. No contouring. No bold lipsticks. All I want is a fresh complexion, bright, defined eyes and a flush of colour on the cheeks and lips.

Apologies that my November favourites are up a bit later than usual, but you know how busy the run up to Christmas can be! It's been all about the makeup for me, recently. Nothing has really changed with my skincare or body product stash, but there is a haircare product thrown into the mix, for good measure.

I've been pulled into Boots and Superdrug like a moth to a flame recently and have found some new gems and rediscovered some old favourites that I was crazy about back in the day. Yes, I love luxury products, but it feels so good finding cheaper dupes that don't wipe out the contents of my purse completely.
