January Beauty Favorites

I had actually planned this to be a video but wouldn't you have it that my glasses had the absolute worst glare on them and then when I tried to film again the lighting was so bad. Enough about my videography skills and on to the things I loved in January.

Skincare:
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration- This is my go-to moisturizer right now. It's lightweight and doesn't give my skin a nasty tacky feel after I've applied it. For my really dry skin, this works great before I apply my makeup.

Origins Drink Up™ Intensive Overnight Mask- This is something I've been using lately to help cure my winter skin. I don't apply it all over my face, just the center of the forehead and my cheeks before I go to bed and I wake up with  hydrated skin that doesn't seem greasy.

Makeup:
L'Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion- Everybody and their mother has been raving about this foundation. This foundation gives a luminous-dewy glow that really looks natural. The way I apply this foundation is with my damp beautyblender's butt end. I tap it into the cushion two-three times and then dab the product on my face. I love the results it gives.

Wet 'N Wild Photo Focus Setting Spray- I picked this up because I ran out of my Urban Decay setting spray and I wanted to try a drugstore one. This one really does help prolong the wear of my makeup and the spray is great.

NARS Steven Klien One Shocking Moment Palette - This puppy is perfect for every look you could imagine. Each blush looks phenom on my Snow White skin and even better the highlight shade works great to set my undereye concealer.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette - I know that I'm really late to this bandwagon but holy crap is this palette amazing. It's so much better than any Naked palette I've ever tried because there's a more balanced proportion of mattes and shimmers. The shimmers aren't overly glittery (and only two are gritty) and the matte shades are like butter.

Hope you enjoyed my monthly favorites! What did you love during Janurary?
