January Favourites

I'm sorry this is about a week late, and I'm sure your not interested in my excuses so I'll just get on with it.


So starting with lip products I have has these two in my handbag literally all month, they have not left my side and if I wasn't wearing one I was wearing the other. If you follow my twitter you will know I re fell in love with my Rimmel Kate 05, which I initially bought for my prom back in May, and have neglected since. However after giving it another go I don't know how I could have forgotten about this little gem. Its a gorgeous pink that is bold yet not to out there for an everyday lip, it really compliments my skin tone and is lovely and creamy to apply; I mentioned this one in my Winter Lip Favourites as well. 

Other than this for me it has been all about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey Douce 001, I know this was raved about ages ago by just about everyone and their mothers but I was very late to jump on the bandwagon and have only just bought it. It is such a lovely colour that is easy to apply even without a mirror, adding just the perfect amount of colour to finish off a look. I have however found that with this product, as you top it up throughout the day that the colour gets bolder so at the end of the day the result is quite different to the one you applied in the morning. I'm not sure if that's just me or not?

Next up the Natural Collection blusher in Pink Cloud, I bought this while in London in December and have been absolutely loving it to give me a little flush of bright pink, brilliant for winter. This is quite unique in my blush collection as I never really thought I would suit bright pink blushes as I'm quite fair and get redness around a lot of my face, however the blogging community convinced me to give it a go and boy am I glad I did! The only downside to this product is that it doesn't last all day so it does need a bit of a top up throughout the day. Paired with this I like to use e.l.f's Bronzing brush, it is angled and quite fluffy making it perfect for applying powder blush, however this brush isn't very soft and can be quite scratchy on the cheeks. I was disappointed with this as all my other e.l.f brushes have been lovely, yet I can't moan at their cheap price tag.

For skincare I have been loving using Superdrug's Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser, it came with a muslin and was a great price. It takes my make up off really easily and doesn't leave my face dry either. Savlon has been a saviour this month! It has really helped my redness and dry patches this month as my skin has been really affected by the weather, being much dryer than usual and becoming sore. I have put this on each night quite liberally and it has cleared my skin up amazingly well.

Lastly, other general beauty bits and bobs, I have been loving my Estee Lauder Double Wear mascara again recently, I switch up my mascaras quite a lot as I have so many and i forget about how much I love this one, I get some many compliments with it and it really does make my eyelashes look amazing. Just love it a lot. And finally my new concealer recently, the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 15, I have really fair skin so I find it difficult to get a concealer that is the right shade, this range is brilliant for that and the concealer is actually really good, and is brightening as well so is great for under the eyes. It is light and easy to blend, quite a light coverage but can be built up without looking cakey. Next to try the matching foundation, anyone know if it's any good?

Better late than never right? I really do like to keep up with these so I do try to post them monthly, even if they are a tad late.
Well done for getting this far, my monthly post seem to be quite long! I hope you enjoyed seeing what I loved last month and don't forget to check out my links :)
