january 2012 favourites


Most used products in January 2012.


 

1) Urban Decay Naked Palette
       I bought this palette in duty free when I went on holiday last summer.  This is pretty much the only eye shadow colours I have used since I bought it!  The colours are all very wearable for both day & night.  My favourites are Naked, Sidecar, Buck & Half Baked.



2) Bourjois - Foundation & Mascara
       Both these products have been in everyday make-up bag for the past 2 months.  The Healthy Mix Foundation gives you a really good coverage without being to thick and because it has fruit extracts in it, it feels healthy for your skins and smells amazing!  I have yet to find another mascara that I love more than the Volumizer. It has 2 steps, the first being longer lashes, which I use for daytime and the second is fuller lashes, perfect for the evening.  I have had so many good compliments whilst wearing this mascara.







3) HD Brow Kit
         I had never heard of the HD Brow Kit before I received mine from GlossyBox, I had always used a pencil.  The kit came with a small angled brush which really helps to give a more defined line than a pencil.  And because the kit is powder, it can also be used for a smokey eye effect too.  I currently use Dark Brown on my brow, then Carbon on my lid as eye liner, which also help to make your lashes look fuller.




4) Benefit Bella Bamba
       I received this product for Christmas in a set with 3 other Benefit products.  The colour is a lovely bright pink with a little bit of shimmer.  It is the first of the box powders to have the new packaging, with a lift up lid & mirror.  I do like the packaging, however, I never use the mirror included.  I still think my favourite Benefit blusher to date is Sugarbomb, so I look forward to trying Hervana to see if it's any match!



5) Tresemme Dry Shampoo
       After using Batiste dry shampoo for a while, I thought it was time for a change and I had heard that the Tresemme dry shampoo was really good, so I decided to try it.  I like that the product didn't come out white, unlike Batiste dry shampoo.  Also this product really does volumise hair, so I have been using it in between washes and for an extra boost in the evenings.




6) Lush Snow Fairy
        I fell in love with Snow Fairy last Christmas after seeing it at Clothes Show Live.  I don't know how I survived without it! The smell & colour are both gorgeous and it can be used on both hair & body.  I managed to pick up a 100ml bottle whilst in Venice, I was so happy to see a lush there :)  This year Lush bought out the Snow Fairy Wand, which is a bubble bar.  All you need to do is swirl it in the bath until it turn pinks & smells of candy floss :)
