Well Hello, & a happy new year to you.
I must apologise about my lack of posts for December, But the festive season was just full on. Not leaving much time, or pennies to try out new beauty bit's & bob's. But fear not, I'm back on the blogging bandwagon for 2014!
We're a week into the New Year already, how are the new year's resolution's coming? I've decided to be a trend setter & to not make any this year, it really does take some of the pressure off, (I'm already reeling from my poor bank balance). Why force myself to give up chocolate? It's too dark & too cold for any of that business.
But fear not, I am back, with a whole host of new goodies to try out! I was very lucky to be on the receiving end of so many lovely products for christmas. That being said, I have been inspired to steal Talk Becky Talk's hashtag for this months blog post's, which is #GLAMUARY. Before you start, I don't care, I know it's cheesy, but it's my blog post, & I love it so there!
I don't want to miss out any products so I have decided to try & categorise my beauty post's for this month.
This week's post are my January face favourites & 1 nail polish! I felt, I must include at least one.
Starting with the base, courtesy of Soap & Glory, 'Show Good Face Foundation' & Primer, in the shade the fairest of them all. Even though, this foundation has a primer, I always make sure to use one before applying. I have nothing but good things to say, about this product, it feels light when it comes to application but is pretty long lasting & you really don't need to use a lot of it either, all good things in my book.
Second on my list was a little christmas gift from MAC. 'The studio finish concealer' in the shade NC20. I mainly use this concealer for my under eyes but with a lot of things MAC produce, it's worth the money a applies nicely, as it is a cream base, you don't need to use a ton of it to get the required result.
Number 3, is the 'Glow all Out highlighting powder', this is also by Soap & Glory. This stuff is a beaut! I just apply a little to my cheek bones & around my jawline. The packaging & the pressed powder itself, is really pretty, it just gives you the little glow you need.
Now onto the eyelashes it isn't a new product, in fact it's an old product, but it's a goody. It's the MUA (Makeup Academy) 'Extreme Volume mascara', I alway end up coming back to this mascara. I just like the general application of this mascara its doesn't leave my eyelashes stuck together or clumpy, it has lasted me ages, and it costs all of £2.00!
Last on the face list, is a trusty Rimmel product. It is the 'Colour Rush lip balm', in the shade 'Rumour Has It'. I love lip Balms I find them super hydrating & not leaving my lips feeling dry after use. To be honest, I choose this because I just love this particular shade, (of what I would call Cherry Red) & it lasts basically all day. I don't know why but I just prefer lip balms & glosses to lipsticks.
The final product on my list for this blog post, is a nail polish I've been loving so far in 2014, it is the 'Nail Paint' by Barry M, in the shade Cappucino, it is a really nice taupe colour and it has a nice shine after application, I feel that this shade goes well with basically anything. Even though if you asked me that two years ago, I hated natural "boring" colours, oh how times change!
