Snow Day! Now by this point I'm sure you guys have seen how crazy Atlanta has been the past couple of days (I mean come on guys we were on CNN). I had a lot of time to think about my favorites for this month, because I was in the car last night for 11 hours to go 14 miles! Now can we just think about that for a minute, ahhhh! Now that it is over I am very thankful, some had it much worse than me. At least I had gas and heat and a lot of people were not as fortunate. Now moving on, January is over, and I only have one thing to say about that, THANK GOD! This month was crappy for our weather here in Georgia and I'm ready for Spring. So let's jump into my beauty favorites!
Starting from the bottom (now we're here) my new holy grail primer. Maybelline Baby Skin. I have a full blog post on this product so I won't say too much, but it is great. And for the price, it's a win win.
My two newest products for my collection are my Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + and Duo Mat Powder. Both of these were Christmas purchases with my very much appreciated Sephora gift cards. I also did a full post on this foundation, but the powder is also wonderful. Both are pricey, but for the quality they are a great splurge.
For a concealer, I've been using my Benefit Boi-ing, but not as a concealer. I have been using this as my "eyebrow cleaner upper". I never liked this product for my face concealer, but it has been wonderful for my brows. It really covers, which is perfect for any mistakes. I'm very happy I tried it for this purpose, because I will never be able to live without.
My MAC Painterly paint pot was a long time favorite. I finished mine a couple of months ago, which I didn't know was even humanly possible, and I was sure I could find a substitute. I was wrong! I quickly realized nothing I owned compared and I was really missing it. I finally splurged and now I have it back in my grasp and couldn't be happier.
It seems like I've been in a hurry pretty much every day this month, which is why this product has come in handy. My Naked Basics palette has always been an item which is very quick and easy. I don't like the look without any eyeshadow, but this makes my eyes pop without making me late for work. I love the natural look you get with these colors which really can work for anyone.
Another product I tried to live without is my Maybelline The Rocket mascara. I recently tried to stray away by trying other options and I was only disappointed. Nothing was comparing to my newest mascara love and I had to revert back.
As for cheeks, I haven't touched any other blushes since I bought this palette. Once again, I have a full post on this product, but I couldn't not mention it. The Bronzer has really been my favorite, which is Park Avenue Princess, and is available permanently from Tarte. A very nice and flattering color, in my opinion.
Lastly for makeup is my Mary Lou Manizer by theBalm. This stuff has quickly made its way into my every day list. I finally found the right brush to apply this, and it has changed the game. Very flattering on the skin, and the glow is perfect.
That's all folks! Nothing too crazy, but my picks for this month! What have you been loving?
