January Favourites - 2016

So as I have been slacking lately on this blog (which I'm SO sorry about) I decided to start something which I think would be quite interesting for you guys! I'm going to start writing about some favourite products/clothes of mine for each month! So here are a few of my favourites for January 2016!

As we headed into a cold, windy year, I noticed my skin playing up a lot! the cold air had dried my skin out a lot which is odd for me as I have naturally oily skin! To combat this my first favourite is the Soap and Glory Clean on Me and Righteous Butter, using the soap to wash my face and butter to moisturise, my skin has been feeling incredibly soft! I love the smell and softness of these products, and I find the Clean on Me soap to be very smooth and I really like using this to wash away any makeup that didn't come off or to freshen up my face!

Next, I wanted to try using more face scrubs to get rid of blemishes and oils in my skin as I do suffer from them a lot! So I started using the St. Ives Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub to really exfoliate my face, I find this to be quite a rough scrub so theirs not need to use a mitt or anything, just your hands will do! Using warm water to open up your pores and a flannel to wipe away the scrub when you're finished, I also use the Soap and Glory Righteous Butter after drying my face to keep my skin extremely soft!

On to some lovely makeup products I decided to start wearing more matte nude lipsticks as I do love dark lipsticks but I always need a switch up! So first off I bought the MUA Luxe Velvet matte lipstick in 'Tranquility' this is a gorgeous coral, nude, almost peachy colour, it dries fast and stays on ALL DAY, even when eating or drinking a latte, this has very good staying power! Next I have the L.A Splash Cosmetics Lip Couture in OG Ghoulish, I LOVE the colour of this, it's more of a lilac/grey colour, but I feel it fits in perfectly with my nude collection! The lasting power isn't AS strong as the MUA one but re-applying throughout the day is no bother for me! I love the colour and texture, and the application brush is a lot easier and softer to use! Last nude of this collection is my NYX Matte Lip Butter in London, this is my favourite by far, its texture is so smooth and soft, the colour is a more brown/peach colour, it goes amazingly with a lovely brown smokey eye also! This as well lasts all day, I only re-apply after drinking or eating to make sure it looks perfect ( it does that on its own anyway! )

Going onto some face/skin products, I started using the NYX HD Studio finishing powder, this is a perfect powder as it's pure white silica powder meaning you can 'bake' your concealer with it for that flawless, highlighted look. It does get a tad messy sometimes, but once you get to grips with using it, you'll always want to use it!










Another amazing product I am loving are my gorgeous false lashes sent to me by Black Magic Lashes, they are so full and soft, seeing as they are 100% mink, they are so comfortable, light but full at the same time! Wearing these with some bright yet dark smokey eye makeup, they look incredible! Must buy! I'd recommend these lashes to anyone looking to make their eyes appear larger, more defined eye shape, or to top off any gorgeous look!

Lastly, I have a hair 'product'? to share with you! My Foxy Locks 22 inch, brown/black, 165g hair extensions. They are to die for, they feel so soft and don't shed at all. As I have rather thick hair, these are perfect for me, the length looks so natural and they're a perfect match! I'd recommend these to anyone looking to add volume or length to their hair, with a variety of colours, all Remy human hair, they are amazing!!
