Mac Lipstick in 'Brave' - Throughout January I have been religiously reaching for this lipstick due to its natural, 'your lips but better' finish. This month I have enjoyed keeping my make-up looking healthy and radiant and this lipstick really ties in well with this particular look as it gives my lips a lovely pop of colour, whilst still looking very natural. This Mac lipstick is in the formula 'satin', which is a matte texture, yet still nourishing on the lips. This lipstick retails for £15.00.
Garnier BB Miracle skin perfecter cream in 'Light' - Recently I have been really disliking wearing a foundation on my skin, as I often feel suffocated and heavy wearing such a thick product on my skin on a daily basis. So in January I was set out to invest in the likes of a BB cream or tinted moisturiser, which is what I did. This particular BB cream was advertised and came with a packet sample in one of my favourite magazines 'Glamour'- I tried and tested this BB cream sample and instantly fell in love, so obviously the next day I just had to go and buy the full product myself. The cream feels smooth and light on the skin, and doesn't feel tacky or wet like some foundations do (my pet hate). It glides on super well like a day cream/moisturiser and I use my hands to blend it in all the way down onto my neck- as although the shade I purchased was a 'light' it was still a tad darker than my bare skin, however this did not bother me as I love looking tad tanned. This cream retails for £7.49.
L'Oreal Kids sweet pear tangle tamer- Firstly this stuff just smells like heaven! It has a strong but refreshing fruity scent to it leaving your hair smell like summer! This tangle tamer does the job brilliantly, I spray this all over my hair when it's damp after the shower and simply brush through my hair after with a standard hairbrush and it makes my hair so easy and pain free to brush, which is exactly what I was looking for. Retails for £2.19.
Rimmel scandaleyes eyeliner in 'Nude'- This was a random and recent purchase of mine yet I have fallen in love with it already. It's a nude based eyeliner which you apply in your lower waterline to widen and waken your eyes. As soon as applied your eyes look instantly 10X bigger and more awake. The formula of this eyeliner is creamy and smooth which means it is very easy and quick to apply. Which is perfect for me as I don't particularly have very much time to get ready in the mornings! This eyeliner retails for £2.99
The Body shop Tea tree pore minimiser - Although this has been in my collection for nearly a year now, I have only this month started reusing it again. After months of not bothering with any form of primer, I decided to try this out and see how it works with my skin during this season. I was pleasantly surprised at how great this product is, and why I seemed to of forgotten it in my collection. I wear it beneath my BB cream and it makes my pore's disappear in an instant and keeps any recurring blemishes at bay with its 'tea tree' extracts. Despite 'tea tree' being mostly aimed at combination to oily skin types, I found this worked really well on my dry skin type and left me feeling hydrated. It has a mild but calming minty scent to it which is very pleasant to wear on the
skin. Retails for £8.00
Mac's skin finish in Soft & Gentle- This is my all time holy grail product, which will be forever loved and lives in my make-up bag every day. I use this product as a highlighter on my brow bone, nose, cheeks and inner eye corner daily. It gives the most gorgeous glowy but subtle sheen on the area's applied and really makes a big difference to your make-up. Making you appear healthier, more dewy, tanned and highlights the areas you want to emphasise the most. Suitable for ALL skin types and ALL skin colours. Since having this highlighter I simply could not wear make-up without it. It's a winner! Retails for £22.00
To summarise these are all my beloved favourites of the month January 2014, all of which I have tried and worn often and given my full honest review :)
