January Favourites

A few of my favourite products from January. Some of these items were new to me during the month but others have been in my collection for a while.

Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF15
This has become a daily essential for me now. Check out my previous post on it, here.

Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist
This is another product that I have recently mentioned on my blog, but I love it so much that I take it everywhere with me.

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in 'Pots and Pans'
I have had this product for about a year now and very rarely used it. I have been using it as a base for a grey/silver smokey eye and with UDPP as a primer this has lasted well.

MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer in NW 15
I used to use Studio Sculpt at the beginning of 2009 and when it ran out I did not purchase it again as I wanted to try other concealers. After trying MAC Studio Finish, Benefit Boi-ing, Benefit Erase Paste to name a few, I decided that I did actually love the Studio Sculpt one and I repurchased it a few weeks ago. It is such a soft and creamy concealer that is easy to work with and gives good coverage.

MAC Eye Shadow in 'Woodwinked' (Veluxe Pearl)
Woodwinked is a antiqued gold shadow. I have either been using it as a crease colour with 'All That Glitters' as a lid colour or 'Wookwinked' as a lid colour with 'Bronze' on the outer v to define.

MAC Pigment in 'Grape'
I love wearing purple as it brings out the green in my eyes. I have been using this pigment with another MAC shadow 'Shale' and I have enjoyed wearing this combination as the colours go well together.


Bach Rescue Remedy Balm
I received this to review and although I have not got around to doing the write up yet, I have been using the product a lot. With 6 flower essences, this product has a scent that is similar to the Bach Rescue Remedy spray that we all know. I have been using it as a lip treatment as well as rubbing it on my temples when I am getting a little snowed under at work.

Clinique Blushing Blush Powder in 'Cupid'
This is an item that I seem to have forgotten about but once I rediscovered it, I have been wearing it a lot. Cupid is a 'shy dusty pink' that gives my cheeks a pretty glow when wearing it. It's not chalky and has good pigmentation and staying power.

Sigma SS168 Angled Contour Brush
Normally favouring a standard blush brush, I have turned to my angled contour brush to apply blush. The size and shape of this brush allows me to sweep some colour onto my cheeks effortlessly and it applies it just were I need it.

I have been making an effort to try and 'shop my stash' recently, so there are only one or two new products this month. But I have enjoyed rediscovering what I have.
