Beauty Favorites // January 2018

Beauty Favorites // January 2018




I wanted to get back in the swing of my "beauty favorites", but I must say this month doesn't have much. Two weeks of this past month I was sick and wore little to no makeup. For the other two weeks I've been trying out new things, but haven't worn items enough to put in my favorites. The products below are some of my loved items that I have been wearing again or that I've tried for a little while now and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy! What are your January favorites? 

Face:


I can't get enough of this palette. I've been using this for months, but as soon as I started wearing makeup again I had to have this in my life! The contour shade is perfect for me and the highlights are stunning! The side that is showing is my go-to side. The other side is a cream contour (I've honestly haven't tried yet) and two more gorgeous highlights that are just to dark for my skin tone. 


I'm getting into those glowy spring looks so this has been my go-to foundation. I have reached for the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation a couple of times, but I've been loving this one again! I will have a foundation review (because I realized I never posted one for this foundation) coming real soon! 


I've used this a lot as a "primer" spray (then added actual primer on top of that) before, but for the past couple of weeks I've been using it as a setting spray and I'm really liking it! My makeup wears great and I've actually been reaching for this more than my Mac Fix +. 


I received this highlighting brush in my December Ipsy Glam Bag and at first I didn't know if I would enjoy it because I like a highlighting brush that is a little bigger and denser. I really like this brush though! Its soft, fluffy, and still applies my highlight amazingly! 



Brows & Eyes:



I've been using this for about a month now and it works great! I really would compare this to the ABH Brow Definer, which is my favorite! The pencil end is about the same shape as the brow definer and applies just about the same. 


I got this palette in my FabFitFun Winter box and I've been playing with this palette ever since. I've been going for darker or brighter lips depending on my mood, but these neutral shadows work with any lip! Without saying too much (palette review is coming soon), I've been enjoying this palette! 


I just posted a review on this last Friday (Review) so I won't repeat myself too much, but this has been my go-to mascara and is so worth every penny! I will be purchasing the full-size once this one is used up. 



 Lips:


Kiss Me Lippies (Madrid & Venice)

These are from the December Kiss Me Subscription and these are the lighter liquid lipsticks that I have been reaching for. I love the formula (you probably already know that) and how well they wear on my lips. These shades are so pretty! 


Okay so I've only worn this a couple of times, but I HAD to mention it. I want more shades and will definitely try this out some more before I can give a full honest review, but so far I'm loving it! 


I also just reviewed this gorgeous lipstick duo (Review). These shades are so pretty, yet so bright, while still being wearable. They're so creamy, pigmented, and long-lasting for such a creamy lipstick.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
