My January Favourites

Hey Guys!

So January ended a few days ago and the stream of January favourites appears on my YouTube subscription feed so I thought, why don't I do my favourites as well? Rather than either uploading or finding images of each product I thought I would link to where you can buy them instead. Hope you enjoy!

Make-up:

This month I did a bit of travelling to and from job interviews in both Shrewsbury and Norwich so I had to sort of, perfect what worked best for me out of what I have already with minimal use of space. 

I have particularly been loving Max factors 3 in 1 foundation, as it has high coverage and is the foundation that stays put best on my super oily skin. I like to apply it using a cosmetics sponge to stipple it into my skin as I feel this gives the most flawless finish possible. 

This is the month where I rediscovered my MAC studio finish concealer. This is definitely one of my all times favourites because it just melts into my skin with minimal effort and blending. It also has high coverage and can be used for both under eye circles and also blemishes.

Sleek products are difficult to find where I live so whenever I found a stand I stocked up on cult favourites of beauty bloggers everywhere. One of my favourite purchases has been the Sleek contour kit. I have a very round face so I'm always keen to try ways to make my face look a little more sculpted. This kit is very pigmented so you don't need to use a lot if like me, you're super pale. 

This month I picked up a full sized Benefit Watt's Up after loving the sample size I have so much. It is a cream product that you need the tiniest amount and will give you an amazing glow. It is definitely one of those products that you will never run out of!

My favourite lipsticks this month have probably been the Rimmel Apocalips in Nova and MAC's RiRi Woo (Limited edition but I think that its the same as MAC's Ruby Woo). I just love these colours as they have amazing staying power and are easy to apply.


Also a special mention for L'oreal's Skin Perfection BB cream which I will be doing a full review of very soon.

Random Favourites:

This month I have been obsessed with one food item: sweet and salty popcorn. I really cannot get enough of this stuff. I like to kid myself that it's kind of healthy but it's really not haha.

My clothing favourite for this month has definitely been my Zara leggings, I only have one pair and so I find myself wearing them, washing them immediately so I can continue to wear them. I did make the mistake of tumble drying them and so they have got a bit shorter than they were, but I still love to wear them. the wide elastic waistband makes them super flattering and comfy. A bit like how I imagine maternity trousers to be.

Hope you have enjoyed this post, let me know some of your favourites this month!

Lipstick collection

Hey guys!

 I just got home for the summer and I tipped out the contents of my makeup bag and started swatching the lip products I have brought home and thought I'd do a blog post on what I have! 

These are the very few nude lipsticks I own, from left to right are: 
ELF Studio Matte Lip Colour in Natural 
ELF Studio Lip Liner and Blending Brush in Nude Pink (I just use it all over the lips) Rimmel Moisture Renew in Nude Delight 
I'm very pale and my lips are quite pigmented already so I think nudes really wash me out so I don't wear them very often. 



These are the lighter pink shades I own and again, from left to right are: ELF Lipstick in Classy Maybelline Colour Sensational in Stellar Pink Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint in 03 Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Frenzy 

These are the colours I'll wear at home and when I'm seeing my Mum haha.

These are darker pink shades that I'll wear everyday at uni and on nights out. Left to right: Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie (sparklier than I thought it was) 
Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart 
Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop 
Maybelline Super Stay 10H Tint Gloss in Forever Fuchia 
ELF Lipstick in Gypsy 
I've really fallen for the Revlon lip butters because I always have really dry lips and usually like to keep my lips matte which is very drying but I love how these feel on my lips. 

The next are more coraly or orangy, I wasn't sure where to put them so I made a new category ha. Left to right this time: 
MAC Satin in Sail La Vie from the Hey Sailor! Collection 
Maybelline Super Stay 10H Tint Gloss in Forever Coral 
MAC Amplified in Watch Me Simmer from the Shop MAC collection 
These are the only two MAC lipsticks I own and I absolutely love them. Especially Watch Me Simmer, it's just a gorgeous colour! 
Finally are my Reds, I don't have many, but I want to get more, probably Russian Red from MAC. So from left to right are: 
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 01 Maybelline Super Stay 10H Tint Gloss in Endless Ruby 
Revlon Just Bitten in Gothic 
When the Maybelline tint glosses came into Boots I got excited and bought most of them because it was buy one get one half price and now I keep going back and can't find Lasting Pink :( 

 But those are my lipsticks that I have with me at the moment, I've become a little lipstick crazy lately, I didn't have any of these a year or two ago :S haha 
 Now I've got a lovely stained arm so I shall post again soon

P.S. Not sure what happened with the spacing, still pretty new at this :S
