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.

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare Pineapple Exfoliating Powder I was so skeptical about this product. I mean it is a super fine powder that is suppose to exfoliate my skin. It is a super fine powder, but it still does the trick! While being extremely gentle to the skin the natural starch and silk powder exfoliates your skin removing dead skin build up and surface build up in pores. On top of that it will leave your skin glowing with the 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid from all the fruit extracts in this. It has not only pineapple, but also kiwi and papaya! What's even better (that I have absolutely loved!) is that this is made without microbeads, nuts, or anything that will be too harsh and could potentially scratch the surface of your skin.  While being super gentle it will also leave your skin soothed and calm with the calamine powder and allantoin that is in it too.  Sorry I sound like an infomercial in these blogs. I just want all the info out there for you w...

Black Moon Cosmetics Lip Trio | Makeup

  Mini Moon Liquid to Matte Nude Trio (Deep/Dark) I was happy to make another purchase from the indie brand, Black Moon Cosmetics . I bought the Urban Myth palette last fall and fell in love with it! The brand has since caught my attention over and over with it's clever packaging, overall asethetic, and unique shades. And not just with eyeshadow but with lipsticks as well. Their shade range in lip products are so cool and the packaging is beautiful. I have to say I'm still usually on the fence about trying new liquid lipsticks. To be honest, I feel I have found formulas/brands that work for me and that I know wear amazingly and feel comfortable (not too drying) and I've stuck to those when buying new shades. So it put me off for awhile until I seen them advertise these adorable tin moon holders. At first I seen them and thought of decor, they were so cute! I recently redecorated my filming setup and was in the market for little trinkets that caught my attenion and this one...
