january favourites

It's that time of the month again where January Favourites are on the agenda. This month was a good makeup month for me, what with all of the January sales and Christmas presents. I've been trialing out my fair share of new makeup products, skincare genius' and even candle scents. In the beauty world, it's been a good month.

First of all I have not one, not two, but three MAC products in the line up this month. I have included my Harmony blush as my perfect contour colour. I got this about three months ago and have been using it practically everyday for either a contoured, sculpted face or just an all-over bronzed glow. I mentioned in my New Years Resolutions post that I'm attempting to master the art of contouring and this little beauty is definitely helping me get there, slowly but surely!

The second and third products are both eyeshadows that if I saw them on the counter, I'd think "heck no, what are those colours about?!" but I gave them a whirl and look where they've ended up. Everyone recommended Sumptuous Olive and although it looks like a moudly green, it actually is a lovely golden shade that I've been loving to wear all over my lid. We also have Wedge, which I initially thought was a neither-here-nor-there shade but because I'm so pale, it looks amazing worked into my crease! This little trick has been my go-to makeup look throughout January. If you'd like to see what it looks like, give me a shout!

Next is my current go-to foundation. NARS Sheer Glow was a product that I reviewed here but in a nutshell, it's a gorgeous medium to full coverage that I've been enjoying wearing this month. Although the name is slightly misleading (it's not sheer and it has a tiny hint of glowiness!), I've also been getting compliments on how good my skin looks. It's brilliant! Finally is Beyonce's new album. My favourites on the album have to be Drunk in Love, Partition and Jealous. On second thought, they're all amazing.
