MONTHLY FAVORITES: SEPTEMBER 2014

Happy Monday! How are you guys doing today? It's almost October, which means that it's time for a brand new monthly favorites post. September has been a good month. When it comes to beauty products I have been sticking to a lot of the same products as I showed you in my previous favorites post, but I do have a couple of new items that I have been reaching for a lot during the month of September.

Like always, I have included a couple of personal favorites too such as a fashion favorite and a TV show that both Simon and I have been loving! :-) 

 ♥ My September Favorites. 

 ♥ Stila Cosmetics One Step Correct Primer, HERE. 

One Step Correct by Stila Cosmetics is a color-corrector, brightener and anti-aging skincare serum primer. It contains 3 color-correcting brighteners. Green tone which instantly neutralizes redness and conceals blemishes, a lavender tone which counteracts sallow undertones for a vibrant, energized look and a peach tone which brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots.

It looks very pretty and flawless on the skin. It covers skin imperfections very well and it also gives you the glow from within look. It makes the foundation go on a lot smoother, because of the even texture that it creates on the skin. It feels very hydrating and moisturizing on the skin, so it's definitely a great primer for people with dry skin.

 ♥ Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, HERE. 

I'm head over heels in love with the Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. It holds my makeup in place while making it look nice and fresh thoughout the day. This is the travel size bottle, which is part of the Sephora Favorites Summerstash set that I ordered from Sephora a while ago. The set is still available online at Sephora's website if you are interested in checking it out. You can find it HERE! :-) 

This is the best makeup setting spray that I have tried so far, definitely worth checking out if you are looking for one to try out. I don't have a lot left in the bottle, so I need to order myself a new one ASAP! :-)

 ♥ Makeup Revolution Lip Geek Lipstick in Totally NOT Boring! HERE 

Makeup Revolution's Lip Geek Lipstick in Totally NOT Boring is a pretty deep pinky purple with a cream finish. It's got a nice and creamy texture, which glides on the lips perfectly. Since it's got a very creamy and buttery texture, it only last about 2-3 hours on my lips before I need to re-apply it. I normally don't wear lipstick for more than a couple of hours at a time, so that doesn't really bother me.

The Lip Geek Lipsticks from Makeup Revolution are only £2.99 each, so they are definitely worth checking out if you want good quality but still affordable at the same time. I reviewed the entire Lip Geek Lipstick range from Makeup Revolution a while ago. If you missed that post, you can check it out HERE! :-)

 ♥ Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in Black, HERE. 

The Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in Black has been a big favorite of mine for a while now. I have been using it for the entire month of September and I just can't get enough of it. The brush is quite small, which gives you a lot of control over the application. It's not messy to apply nor does it make my lashes feel stiff or look clumpy. It's also easy to remove with a waterproof makeup remover! :-)

♥ Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 12L, HERE. 

The Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 12L is a creamy, long lasting eye liner. 12L is a beautiful, blue with green highlights which makes the eyes really pop and stand out. It last a while on the waterline before it fades away and needs to be re-applied. Before I apply any eye liner, I like to take a cotton swab and run it along my waterline to remove any dirt and oils. I feel like that prevents the eye liner from fading away too soon.

For the past couple of months I have been obsessed with wearing this eye liner on my waterline. I love how it looks paired with a bronzed eye, it just compliments it so well. There are some serious stunning shades in the Aqua Eyes range, I definitely want to try out some more shades now! :-) 

 ♥ Fashion Favorite: Handbag from Zara. 

Ever since I was a little girl I have been obsessed with handbags, especially large handbags. This beauty from Zara has been my go-to bag ever since I ordered it from their website a while ago. I love handbags that are big in size, because I usually like to carry my entire life with me in my bag, ha ha. I'm sure most of you girls can relate to this! :-)

This bag may look a little small to you, but it can actually fit a lot of things in it which makes it the perfect every day bag for me. Unfortunately this bag isn't available at Zara anymore, but they do have a bunch of other bags that are just as gorgeous and awesome as this one. You can check out their entire collection of bags HERE! :-) 

♥ Favorite TV Show: Breaking Bad - Photo Source HERE. 

Breaking Bad is one of my all time favorite TV shows. Simon surprised me the complete box set a couple of weeks ago, which made me want to watch it all over again. He haven't seen the show before, so we decided to watch it together. We just started watching season 3, which is one of the best seasons in my opinion.

If you're not familiar with the show, it's about a high school chemistry teacher who turns to a life of crime in order to provide for his family's future. The show is so well done and all the actors are fantastic! I highly recommend that you check it out on Netflix if you haven't watched it yet. It's very additive though, so don't blame me if you can't stop watching it! :-)

MY JULY FAVORITES: MAC COSMETICS, MALLY BEAUTY, NYX COSMETICS & REAL TECHNIQUES

July is almost over, which means that it's time for a brand new monthly favorites post! I can't believe that July is coming to an end, where has the time gone? I feel like the month just started, does anyone feel the same way? 

I'm excited that August is right around the corner, because it's one off my favorite months off the year. I love that it's finally starting to get a little colder and darker outside in the evening. One off my favorite things to do during August is to light lots off candles and snuggle up in a warm blanket with a cup off hot chocolate and a good movie/book. 

 

Anyway, enough with the rambling. Let's move on to the items that I have been enjoying this month! :-) 

 

 ♥ Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, HERE. 

 

 The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge has been a huge favorite off mine for the entire month off July. I love using it with my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, they work so well together. The Miracle Complexion Sponge does a great job evening out the foundation and blending it out.

I use the flat side off the sponge to distribute the foundation all over my face, then I use the same side to blend it into my skin and neck area. It makes the foundation look so smooth and flawless. The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is definitely a must try. I will be doing a review on it soon, so stay tuned for that! :-)

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Paint Pot in Painterly, HERE. 

Painterly is one off my favorite Paint Pots by MAC Cosmetics. It's a pretty nude beige that goes on very creamy, but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. It's easy to work with. You can apply it with a brush or with your fingers, I like to use it both ways.

My eyelids are a little blue, so I like using Painterly before I apply any eyeshadows. It neutralizes the color on my eyelids and preps them for the eyeshadows. It makes the eyeshadows last a bit longer on my eyes as well and they also look more vibrant too. Sometimes, I like to wear it by itself for a quick and easy look! :-)

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Paint Pot in Painterly, HERE. 

 ♥ NYX Cosmetics Powder Blush in Peach, HERE. 

The NYX Cosmetics Powder Blush in Peach has once again made it into my monthly favorites. Peach is a pretty peachy pink blush with a satin finish. It blends beautifully into the skin, while giving the skin a very natural look. If you have a fair/light skin tone like myself, you need this blush in your life. It's such a gorgeous, everyday kind off color.

I have been using Peach almost every single day in July, I even took it with me on my holiday trip to London. I'm so obsessed with this blush, can't get enough off it! :-) 

♥ Mally Beauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender, HERE.

The Mally Beauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender diffuses the look of pores, minimizes fine lines, and helps protect your makeup so it lasts longer throughout the day. It feels silky smooth on the skin and it gives a beautiful, flawless matte finish without the look of powder. It also comes with a unique buffed-edge Japanese sponge.

If you have oily skin, you must try out the Mally Beauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender. It instantly mattefies the skin and takes away any shine. I always keep it in my handbag, just in case that I want to touch up my face during the day! :-)

♥ MAC Cosmetics Fix +, HERE.

The MAC Cosmetics Fix + is an aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals. It's infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. It adds radiance, while setting your makeup in place.

It feels very refreshing on the skin. It makes my makeup last throughout the day, and it also helps prevent it from melting off my face. I love keeping a bottle off Fix + in my handbag, just in case I need a little bit off a pick me up during the hot Summer weather. I have been using it almost every single day in July. It's another product that I can't get enough off, highly recommend it! :-)

 ♥ Cardigan from H&M. 

My fashion favorite for the month off July has been this gray cardigan from H&M. It's so soft and comfortable, and it looks cute with a lot off different things. I have mostly been wearing it with jeans, tops/singlets and converse sneakers for a very relaxed look. But you can also dress it up by pairing it with a cute skirt or even a dress! :-) 

♥ TV Show: Orange Is The New Black. Photo Source: IMDB

My favorite TV Show for the month off July has been Orange Is The New Black. I'm almost finished with the first season, so I'm a little behind on the show. If you are not familiar with the show, it's about the story of Piper Chapman, a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to fifteen months in prison after being convicted of a decade-old crime of transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend.

It's a good show with lots off funny and interesting characters. I tried watching it when it first came out on Netflix about a year ago, but I didn't quite get into it. I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad that I did. So far I'm really enjoying it and I'm excited to catch up with the new season soon! :-)

What have you been loving for the month off July? Any TV Shows that I should check out? Are you looking forward to August? :-) Love, Christine♥

MY MONTHLY FAVORITES: JUNE 2014

Hello everyone, how are you doing on this lovely Monday? I hope that you are having an awesome day so far. It's finally July, which means that it's time for a brand new monthly favorites post. I haven't been playing around with a lot off new beauty products lately, have mostly just been sticking to my same old beauty favorites.

But I do have a few items that I have been enjoying, so I thought I would share those products with you guys today. So without further ado, here are my favorite products for the month off June! :-) 

 ♥ My Monthly Favorites: June 2014. 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara & Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude. 

I have only been using the L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara for a couple off weeks now, but I have been reaching for it almost every day since I got it. I thought I would still include it in my monthly favorites post, because I have really been enjoying it a lot. It gives my lashes nice length and volume, it haven't flaked or smudged under my eyes so far and it's quite build able as well. It can make the lashes look a bit spidery after the first coat, so if your not a fan off that look, I don't think that you will like this mascara. I also love the shape off the brush, it's wonderful. It's so easy to get in between all the lashes with it! :-)

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude is the perfect flesh colored eyeliner for the waterline. I have been using it for a while now and I absolutely adore it. It brightens up the eyes and make them look more awake instantly. It's nicely pigmented and very creamy too. The staying power is okay, nothing too crazy. I do have to re-apply it after a few hours, but that really doesn't bother me.

Before I heard about the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude, I always used to use a white eyeliner by Smashbox in my waterline. White can look a bit harsh, so I'm glad that I switched over to a flesh colored one instead. I have heard good things about the Stila Kajal Eye Liner in Topaz too, but that one is more pricey than the one from Rimmel London. If you want a good quality eyeliner that works great on the waterline, this is a great one! :-)

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul. 

I picked up this Mineralize Blush by MAC Cosmetics back in April when I was visiting my sister in Trondheim. It's called Warm Soul and it's a beautiful bronzed peach with golden shimmer. It gives the skin the most beautiful, healthy looking glow without being too shimmery. I think Warm Soul would look go well with so many different skin tones, definitely check it out if you are in the market for a new Summer blush! :-) 

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul. 

♥ Piz Buin Ultra Light Dry Touch Face Fluid SPF 15 & NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss in Tiramisu. 

 

 I'm happy to say that I have finally found a sunscreen for my face that I can't live without. It's the Ultra Light Dry Touch Face Fluid by Piz Buin. It absorbs so quickly into the skin and it doesn't feel greasy, sticky or oily at all. It feels like there is nothing on my skin, which is amazing. Just like the other sun products from Piz Buin, this one smells delightful as well.

It's so important to stay protected from the sun all year round, especially during the hot Summer months. I couldn't find this one in a highter SPF than 15 at the store, so I might have to pick up a bottle off the SPF 30 online.

The NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss in Tiramisu has been a big favorite off mine during the month off June. Tiramisu is a pretty brown with a hint off pink thrown into it. It feels incredible soft and smooth on the lips, it's hardly sticky and it's got great pigmentation. Tiramisu looks great on it's own, but it also looks stunning paired with different lipsticks. It has a yummy, sweet sugary scent and taste. It's a perfect everyday kind off gloss! :-)

 ♥ Nike Dunk Sky Hi Sneakers. 

I thought I would start including a fashion favorite in my monthly favorites posts from now on, what do you guys think about that? My June fashion favorite has been these amazing Nike Dunk Sky Hi sneakers. I absolutely love them. I think that they are so cool and fun, and they go with a lot off different looks too. They have a concealed wedge heel, which is quite comfortable to walk in and they make your feet look smaller than what actually they are,  which is kind off cool.

I'm going to London on holiday this upcoming weekend and I'm planning on taking these with me. I'm thinking about wearing them when we are going to see The Lion King Musical. We'll see if I end up taking these with me or not! :-) 

♥ TV Series: 24. Photo credit, HERE.

Simon and I have been watching 24, which is a show that I used to watch a lot when it first aired on television here in Norway. Simon has never watched it before, so we thought it would be fun to watch it together. We are only on the first season though, so we have quite a few episodes left until we have completed the series. I'm really looking forward to watching the new season called Live Another Day, it looks great.

If your not familiar with the show, it's about Jack Bauer, Director of Field Ops for the Counter-Terrorist Unit of Los Angeles, who races against the clock to subvert terrorist plots and save his nation from ultimate disaster. It's a very entertaining and action-packed TV show, highly recommend it if you are into those kind off TV shows! :-)

What have you been loving for the month off June? Any products I should add to my London wishlist? What TV shows are you currently watching? :-) Love, Christine♥

MONTHLY FAVORITES: MAY 2014

June is here, which means that it's time for me to share some off my favorite products off the last month with you. I know this post is up a little later than usual, but better late then never right? Let's get started! :-)

♥ Monthly Favorites: May 2014. 

 ♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. 

The Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette has been the only eyeshadow palette that I have been reaching for over and over again during the month off May. Naked Basics consists off six eyeshadows, one shimmery shade and five matte shades. I have mostly been using W.O.S, Naked 2 and Faint, which are my favorite shades from this palette! :-) 

 ♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. 

 ♥ Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. 

Another favorite for the month off May has been the Fit Me Foundation by Maybelline. I have been using this foundation for a couple off years now and I really like it. It's very easy to apply, has nice coverage and it blends flawlessly into the skin. The consistensy is not too thick or too thin, just the way I like it. I love using the Beauty Blender to blend out the foundation, it gives the skin the most natural and flawless looking finish. I'm also a big fan off the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, both the foundation and concealer work amazingly together! :-) 

 ♥ NARS Cosmetics Blush in Orgasm. 

In the beginning off May, I decided to go through my makeup collection and pick out different products that I felt needed some love and attention again. That's when I re-discovered my love for the NARS Cosmetics Blush in Orgasm. Orgasm is a pretty peachy coral with golden shimmer. It's one off my favorite blushes in my makeup collection, so happy that I re-discovered my love for it. Highly recommend that you check out this blush if you haven't done that already. It's gorgeous and lovely for the Summer! :-) 

 ♥ NARS Cosmetics Blush in Orgasm. 

 ♥ Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel in Caramel. 

I picked up the Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel in Caramel in the beginning off May and I have been using it since. It's really easy to apply, it looks very natural, and it keeps the brows in place throughout the day. I used to use the Studio Eyebrow Treat & Tame from e.l.f. Cosmetics. I liked that brow gel a lot, but it did fade away during the day which is the reason why I wanted to try another brow gel. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel stays put throughout the day and the color doesn't fade away, which means that I don't have to keep re-applying it thoughout the day. Love, love, LOVE this product so far! Have you tried it? :-) 

 ♥ Beauty Blender. 

I have been using the Beauty Blender for a couple off years now and I'm totally obsessed with it. It's so easy to use! It blends out foundations and other liquid/creamy products like a boss. It gives a very natural and flawless finish too, which looks beautiful. Need to get my hands on a new one soon, mine is looking a bit sad at the moment, LOL! :-) 

♥ Grey's Anatomy, photo credit HERE.

I like to include TV shows in my monthly favorites as well! The TV show that I have been keeping up with in May is Grey's Anatomy. If your not familiar with the show, it's a drama centered around the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors. I'm almost finished with season ten, only have a few episodes left. I have been a fan off the show since the beginning. I'm enjoying the new season a lot, can't wait for season eleven to start! Do you still watch Grey's Anatomy? What TV Shows are your favorite? Any recommendations? Thank you :-)  

What products have you been loving during the month off May? Do you like it when I include personal favorites like TV shows, fashion favorites, etc in my monthly favorites posts? :-)
Love, Christine♥

MY MONTHLY FAVORITES: MARCH 2014

♥ Monthly Favorites: March 2014. 

How are you guys doing on this lovely Thursday? Hope that you are having an awesome day so far. It's time for a brand new monthly favorites post. I feel like I just posted my February favorites, time flies when you are having fun, huh? So without any further ado, let's jump right into the products that I have been loving for the month off March! :-)

 ♥ MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. 

The MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle is an oldie but a goodie. It's my favorite and most used highlighter in my entire makeup collection, and it's been featured in many off my monthly favorites posts.

I have had Soft and Gentle for a couple off years now, and you can barely see that it's been used. It's definitely not the most affordable highlighter on the beauty market. It's going to last a very long time, so to me it's so worth the money. I highly recommend that you check it out, I think you are going to love it as much as I do! :-) 

 ♥ Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette in Vanity. 

I have re-discovered my love for the Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette in Vanity. The eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, soft and very smooth to the touch. They are not too powdery, so they don't have a lot off fallout to them. I'm a neutral eyeshadow kind off girl, so this palette is right up my alley. It's such a great, travel friendly, affordable little palette which have a nice selection off neutral shades.

I believe that this palette has been discontinued by the brand, but you can still find it on eBay, HERE! :-) 

 ♥ Physicians Formula PH Matchmaker PH Powered Lip Gloss in Light Pink. 

You might have seen this lip gloss featured in my most recent beauty swap post. The lovely Nancy-Lee from fashionCHICsta sent it to me, and I'm so happy that she included it in my package. It's one off those lip glosses that senses the pH level of your skin and adjusts to create the perfect lip color for you. It has a little mirror on the side, which can be very handy if you are on the go. It also lights up, which I think is totally awesome! :-)

I have already fallen in love with it. I hardly ever wear lip gloss, but this one is definitely a keeper. It gives my lips the prettiest shade off pink. I can see why it's one off Nancy-Lee's favorites, it's gorgeous. You can check out my beauty swap post HERE! :-) 

 ♥ Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush in Pearlescent Pink. 

The Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush in Pearlescent Pink has been another big favorite off mine during the month off March. It's nicely pigmented and it looks very pretty and natural on the skin. It gives the cheeks a healthy glow, which makes it a great blush for Spring and Summer! :-) 

 ♥ LUSH Cosmetics Handy Gurugu Hand Cream.

♥ LUSH Cosmetics Handy Gurugu Hand Cream.

The Handy Gurugu Hand Cream by LUSH Cosmetics have been a total lifesaver for me during the past few months. My hands have been so dry and sore due to the cold weather. I used to have a couple off dry patches on my hands, but thanks to this hand cream they are now completely gone. It keeps my hands nicely hydrated thoughout the day. I love using it at night before I go to bed, my hands feel incredible soft and smooth the next day. It has a very delightful, clean and fresh scent which I'm totally obsessed with. I just can't get enough off it! :-) 

♥ Family Guy. Photo source, HERE. 

A non-beauty favorite for the month off March has been Family Guy. If you are not familiar with the show, it's about a dysfunctional family who strive to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another. I know some people won't like it and the humor that comes with it, but I personally love it. I think it's such a fun show, it never fails to make me laugh. Do you watch Family Guy? Who is your favorite character on the show? I like Peter, Glenn Quagmire, Herbert and Stewie! :-)

What have you been loving for the month off March? See anything here that you would like to try out for yourself? Do you like it when I include non-beauty favorites in my monthly favorites posts? :-) Love, Christine♥

MONTHLY FAVORITES: FEBRUARY 2014

♥ Monthly Favorites: February 2014.

Yet another month have passed by, can you believe it? This year is already going by so quickly, don't you agree? February have been a good month! I have been sticking to a lot off the same products as in January, but I have been reaching for a couple off oldies but goodies which I wanted to share with you guys. So let's get started, shall we? :-)

 ♥ Maybelline Fit Me Foundation.

I have re-discovered my love for the Maybelline Fit Me foundation. This is one off the best foundations that I've tried. It looks very natural on the skin, it's easy to blend, it doesn't cling to any dry patches on my skin and it has nice coverage too. I like to use the Maybelline Fit Me concealer whenever I'm using the foundation, they both work so well together.

 ♥ NYX Powder Blush in Peach.

Peach has been my go-to blush for the entire month off February. It's such a pretty peachy pink blush, which looks gorgeous and very fresh on the cheeks. It's easy to blend and it's got nice pigmentation as well. If you want a blush that's going to give you that natural flushed look, Peach is right up your alley :-) 

 ♥ NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny.

I have been wearing the NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny almost every single day in February. It's very easy to blend, it doesn't make me look orange or muddy and it's super affordable too. The pigmentation is good. It's not crazy pigmented like some other bronzers that I've tried, but I think that's a good thing. I have quite a light complexion, so I don't want to go totally overboard with my bronzer. This is just perfect, love it! :-) 

 ♥ Make Up Store Volume Mascara.

I have been enjoying the Volume Mascara from Make Up Store a lot. It's from their Fusion collection, which came out for Valentine's Day. It gives my lashes good length and volume and it's easy to remove as well, which I'm thrilled about. I can't stand mascaras that are difficult to remove, never end up re-purchasing them regardless how good they are! :-) 

♥ Versace Bright Crystal Absolu.

Simon got me the Versace Bright Crystal Absolu for Valentine's Day. I have been wearing it a lot since I got it, the scent is truly amazing. It's got a floral sweet scent, which isn't too strong and overpowering. If you love the original Versace Bright Crystal, I think you will like this as well. You should definitely give it a good sniff next time you are at the perfume store! :-) 

♥ TV Show: The Big Bang Theory.

 A non beauty favorite has been a show called The Big Bang Theory. If you're not familiar with the show, it's about two physicists, whose geeky and introverted lives are changed when a woman moves into the apartment across from theirs. It's such a funny and very entertaining show, with a bunch off really awesome characters. My favorites are Sheldon, Amy, Howard and Barry Kripke. Do you have a favorite character? :-)

What products have you been loving for the month off February? Are you watching any TV Shows at the moment? Any recommendations? :-) Love, Christine♥

MY MONTHLY FAVORITES: JANUARY 2014

♥ Monthly Favorites: January 2014. 

Happy Monday lovelies, how are you all doing today? Did you have a nice weekend? Simon and I saw the movie The Wolf of Wall Street on Saturday, which was freaking fantastic. Have you guys seen it yet? I highly recommend that you go and check it out if you haven't seen it. I love Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor and this was one off his best performances, if not the best! Totally worth checking out :-)

Anyway, another month has passed, can you believe it? I haven't done a monthly favorites post in a while now, so I'm excited to share my favorites with you. I don't have too many beauty products to share with you, but there are still some really great items here. So without further ado, here are the items that I have been loving for the month off January! :-) 

 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Base Pure Light Primer. 

I have been using the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Base Pure Light Primer every single day during the month off January. I like to mix it with my BB cream or foundation, it gives my skin such a pretty and natural looking glow. It can also be applied like a regular primer before foundation, but I find mixing them together is a lot easier and less messy as well. If you love glowy looking skin, you might want to check out this product! :-)

 

 ♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette & Clinique Color Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Like Mink. 

 ♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette & Clinique Color Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Like Mink. 

My go-to eyeshadows for the month off January has been the Naked Basics Palette by Urban Decay, and the Color Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Like Mink by Clinique. The Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette is such a nice and handly little palette, perfect for creating quick and easy neutral eye looks. The Clinique Color Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Like Mink is a pretty little duo, which I have been taking with me on vacation trips a lot. It's quick, easy and it doesn't take up much room in your makeup bag! :-) 

 

♥ Milani Cosmetics Baked Blush in Luminoso. 

The baked blushes by Milani Cosmetics are some off my favorite blushes on the beauty market. They are so pretty and I love how pigmented they all are (a little goes a long way with these). They don't have the biggest shade selection, but the shades that they do have are gorgeous. Luminoso is a pretty peach with shimmer. It's really easy to blend and it gives the skin such a pretty glow. If you haven't tried out Milani's baked blushes yet, I highly recommend that you give them a go. Berry Amore, Dolce Pink and Luminoso are my favorites! :-) 

♥ Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 08 Rossetto. 

The Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 08 Rossetto has been my favorite lipstick for the month off January. It's easy to apply and it feels very creamy and moisturizing on the lips. My lips have been awfully dry lately due to the cold weather, so I'm trying to keep my lips as hydrated as I can. I'm very pleased with this lipstick, and I'm very curious about trying out a few off the other shades in the range! :-) 

 ♥ TV Show: Sons Of Anarchy. Photo Source, HERE. 

A non beauty favorite this month has been the TV show Sons of Anarchy. I'm on season 5 at the moment, and it just keeps getting better and better. It's about a guy who struggles to find a balance in his life between being a new dad and being involved in a motorcycle club.

The show is really addicting, so you won't be able to stop watching it, LOL! Let me know if you decide to check it out, would love to hear what you think about it. If you are keeping up with the show, who is your favorite character? I love Jax, Tig and Tara! :-) 

Which products have you been loving for the month off January? What TV shows are you currently watching? Any favorites? :-) Love, Christine♥
