JANUARY FAVORITES

Hello Everyone, welcome back to my blog!
So sorry I have been m.i.a lately, I have been planning a lot of exciting things!
I recently got ENGAGED! & my fiance and I are heading off to Thailand to backpack as of Feb 22nd!
I started a new blog where I will be posting all of my travel adventures so be sure to check it out! Its called the Travel Manuel! Here's the link! www.travelmanuel.blogspot.com  
Anyways, back to the beauty gossip! I wanted to share my January Favorites with all of you because I found some new products I've been LOVING!





First product I have been absolutely loving that I have had for a while but thought I would share in case any of you haven't tried it yet is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I use the lightest shade & use it to conceal and highlight!
It has a fantastic consistency! Its creamy but doesn't crease under your under eye. Its the best concealer I have used in a long time! When I am running late or having a day I don't want to wear a lot of makeup, I simple just use this under my eyes and on my problem areas and put a little pressed powder over top and I'm good to go! This product is a 10 out of 10 for me!

Another product I have been loving is again by Mayballine & it's their Studio Face Master Prime Primer. I'm currently using the one redness control & to blur any imperfections. I love this primer because it really does help with my redness! Its a green colour which helps mask the red colour in your skin. The consistency of the formula is great, its not sticky or tacky and dries quickly. I find this primer helps keep my foundation on all day! I work in a  restaurant so my skin gets oily and dirty quickly and recently since I started wearing this primer I have noticed my skin is a lot less oily after my shift! This product is an 9 out of 10 for me!

Again with the Maybelline products! No, I am not sponsored to talk about them, they are just by far my favorite drugstore product! This product could be my all time favorite (for this month anyways) & its their Master Contour, Blush and Highlight Pallet! I ADORE this product! Its creamy and pigmented and stays on all day! The highlight for me is to die for! Its so flattering on my pale skin and the contour is the perfect colour for my skin! I have been loving the contour colour for in my crease & the highlight for the inner corners of my eyes and eye brow bone! I am bringing this pallet on my trip for sure! Its perfect for the face & eyes!! 10 out of 10 for sure!

Since above I mentioned my eyes, a product I have been loving lately and have hit pan on each shadow is the Sonia Kashuk eye shadow pallets! I own every one and love all of them! My favorite is the brown natural with the silver/gold ish sparkle shades! Its has a great crease colour & the shimmer shade is great for a pop of colour in the center of your eye! I have been using this small pallet for almost a year & still have a ton of product left, a little goes a long way and the pigmentation is fantastic! This is also a 10 out of 10 for me!

& lastly this product is new for me and I have only been using it for about a week now but have been pretty impressed with it! Its the Rimmel 24 hour Super Curl. On the packaging is says no need to use an eye lash curler, the brush does it all for you & that's totally true! This mascara is great! It spreads your lashes while giving you the length and curl you desire. Its very buildable as well which is great! I use this mascara along side my number 1 which is the Maybelline Stiletto. I have always been a double mascara girl, I'm not too sure why but I find I always need to use two to get the length and curl I love! This mascara is perfect for traveling and will definitely be coming with me so that I don't need to bring a lash curler! This one isn't quit a 10 out of 10 for me but its pretty close with an 8 out of 10!

I hope you enjoyed my January Favorites and I hope this inspires you to try a few new products! These are all from the drugstore and very affordable! Again, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while but I made it my New Year's resolution to post more often! Now that I am not working I will be able to post more frequently! Be sure to check out my Travel Blog to see what I'm up to!! Thanks for reading!
