To kick it off we have a few forgotten favourites. Firstly a dupe of the MAC Mineralize Blush, it's one I brought from Superdrug ages ago and it turns out they don't even do it anymore... according to the internet anyway! In the pan it is a really pretty pink, with flecks of gold and lilac running through the marbel-like finish. Such a pretty product, with just enough shimmer to give you a nice dewy glow.
Another forgotten favourite which I re-discovered this week is a skincare addition from Avene - the Eau Thermale Water Spray. This product is so diverse with so many uses, you can use it to set make up, to ease tightness in the skin, to keep you cool in the summer months or on holiday and as a toner. I loved it in the summer last year and kind of forgot about it when I started using the Liz Earl Botanical Toner, so re-discovering it has been great, I even have a mini version after I attended an event at work which is perfect for on the go.
A product I have raved on and on about is - the Una Brennan Super Facialist Rose Hydrate Intense Mask. This has been so good to my skin, especially since we've seen a drop in the temperature and weather has been all kinds of crazy... Yes snow, I'm talking about you! Pair that with central heating and it does not make for a nice skin situation on my face! My main issues are dryness so anything that says intense moisture then I'm there! It's been a skin care saviour this month so it has a well deserved place in my favourites.
Next up is a new buy this month, the Co Lab Dry Shampoo in the scent New York. I brought the sheer invisible version after hearing amazing reviews and it does not disappoint! This leaves no nasty white residue in the hair but still does the job really well.... dare I say it better than the batiste dry shampoos?! It also has a nice fruity fragrance which isn't anything like other brands I have tried.
A fragrance I was loving last summer came back into my life this January... Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream. This is classic Marc Jacobs, cute bottle, amazing fragrance and long lasting. It's a light, airy scent with both floral and fruity undertones. It has notes of blackberry, jasmine, lychee and blue wisteria. Such a nice addition for someone like me who loves a good fruity-floral fragrance, I also have Chanel Eau Tendre and Jo Malone Peony Blush Suede... Yes I have a type!
I've slowly started becoming more and more obsessed with the Collection Exclusive lip stick range from L'Oreal. I've now purchased Julianne's Nude - Barely Peach. This is such a lovely pinky/peachy lip stick. I love the formulation of these, they're hydrating, nourishing, smell great and have nice pigmentation... some great positives in the winter months when you can get dry, chapped lips... No one likes that!
Finally, something I got at Christmas which has a thorough test this month is the Perversion Mascara by Urban Decay. I got this in the On the Run Palette, so it's a smaller size than normal and I can 100% see myself buying a full size one because I love it so much! It makes my lashes super black, voluminous and lengthened, all things i look for in a mascara.
I'm really looking forward to buying some new things in February, so look out for the next favourites posts and maybe a haul!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend,
