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.

Beauty Tuesday

For my first " Beauty Tuesday", I thought I would start it off with my May Ipsy bag. If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample size beauty products. This June marks two years that I've received a bag. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my May 2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below). I'm more into Ipsy for the actual products and not the bags, but I'll admit the ba

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug

August Ipsy Glam Bag

If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample sized beauty products. I've been getting one for two and an half  years  now. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my August  2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below).   First of all, I normally do my Ipsy reviews a week earlier than this one is being put up. I don't know what took so long this month whether it was Ipsy or just USP
