BEAUTY
The MAC
Global Glow MSF is one of my all-time favourite highlighters and January
was the month I put Cheeky Bronze away. Global Glow is a little bit warmer than
it’s counterpart, Soft & Gentle, although now as warm as Cheeky Bronze. It
is so pigmented and complimentary for so many different skin tones. I love
applying this to the key points of my face – cheekbones, brow bone and tip of
my nose for an all-round glow. No matter what highlighters I have in my
collection, I always seem to go back to Global Glow!
I’ve had the Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer in my stash for a little bit now, and
I’ve only heard great things about it, but up until recently, I have only
really liked using this product. I think the key to using it, is to use a small
amount, as it is silicone based and if you use too much, you’ll just have a
slippery base for your makeup. I really like how lightweight this primer is as
there’s nothing worse than feeling like you have layers and layers of makeup
and this little travel size mini is perfect for your makeup bag.
The Nars
Sheer Glow Foundation (review) has been my go-to throughout this month. I
love how easily it applies onto the skin and doesn’t feel heavy, however it is
still pigmented and has a nice amount of coverage to it. I love dewy
foundations and this fits the bill down to a tee. The shade ‘New Guinea’ is
perfect for not only my skin tone, but also my undertone and I haven’t found it
to oxidize at all. My only qualm is that it doesn’t have a pump, but I can
bypass that due to how much I love this foundation. Definitely a new staple!
Along with MAC Global Glow, the Illamasqua Precision Brow Gel (review)
is another rediscovery for me. When my eyebrows a due for a threading session,
I find it quite difficult to make them look semi decent with just an eyebrow
pencil. The Illamasqua Precision Brow Gel makes this pesky task a lot easier to
fill my brows in, whilst getting a nice look without looking like I’ve just
filled my brows in with a Sharpie pen. I have the shade ‘Strike’ which is such
a versatile shade and perfect for if you have ashy blonde, dark hair or
anything in between.
STYLE
The one and only style favourite for
January is my Carvela Mel Lock Tote bag.
I have been gravitating towards this bag at any given opportunity! It’s so
dainty, that it can be used for many different occasions and events, whether
it’s popping to the shops or going to dinner. The size is a good happy medium
as it’s large enough that you can fit all your necessities, but small enough to
prevent you from filling it up with crap!
