january favourites!

I really enjoyed these products this month, some of them were recently acquired around Christmas time and others were just a result of appreciating the things I already had.

Have been trying to take better care of my skin lately, and have enjoyed using this L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Night Cream* to really hydrate my mug. Have a full review coming up, but suffice to say I'm happy with it.

Now that Melbourne is heating up for summer, I've been reaching for my 'tropical holiday' fragrances. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess was last years release and I bought it for a steal at the Estee Lauder staff store. It's coconutty and fruity and makes me wish I was on a deserted island. This is Chris' favourite on me at the moment, he loves it. My Thierry Mugler Angel ETD* (review here) is breathtaking, always.

I've been absolutely obsessed with my Bioderma Crealine H20* lately, as the heat has wreaked havoc on my 'can't decide if it's oily or dry' face. It's nice and gentle, and makes me feel a little more French every time I swipe my makeup off.

I adore the L'Oreal Infallible shadows, and this shade was one Chris bought me for Christmas. Sahara Treasure is a shimmery neutral shade that is stunning and very wearable. I wore this over my MAC Painterly paint pot with lashings of mascara more than half of this month. For night, I slicked on some liquid liner with it.

I have been loving cream blushes lately, and this YSL Creme de Blush in 2 Powdery Rose is my very favourite. I apply it using a Royal and Langnickel stippling brush, and it sets to a powder finish and smells like watermelon in the pot. I really regret not picking up more of these, but was elated to find them on Strawberrynet for a mere $36 compared to the RRP of more than $60 that I paid. Link is here, hop to it!

I am a massive advocate for MAC paint pots, I use one every day (usually Painterly) and this month I've been daring by adding a few darker looks into my usual faces. I've used MAC Dangerous Cuvee from the Cham Pale collection (haul here) as a base for most of them, it's stunning.

It took me a while to warm up to the new Revlon lip butters,  but now that I know I just need a good lip scrub before I use them (lips are acting out atm) I'm loving them all. Creme Brulee is one of the few nudes I like, it's really easy to wear and suits both the dark and super bright eye looks I've been wearing lately.

Ah, the Naked palette. Seen a million times, and I go through stages where I'm bored of it. I've been using it every day this month, and have highlighted the standout shades. Virgin as a highlight, Sidecar or Toasted as a wash over the lid, and Darkhorse in my crease. The beginning of a lemming for Naked2 may have begun...
