January Catch Up

Can you believe that the first month of the new year is over already? It's gone SO fast, and at this rate, it'll be Christmas before we know it!


January has been a good month for my blog; I uploaded the most amount of posts in month that I've ever done, and though it was scheduled to have more than I did, the 18 I posted is the highest amount I've done.




The first post of the year wishes you all a very Happy New Year.

I then shared my 2013 in Instagram on the 2nd.
On the 4th I showed some sneaky Post-Christmas Purchasing.
The 5th celebrated my One Year (ish) of Blogging.
For the post-christmas poorness, I brought you Budget Beauty Edit #2: Top Picks Under £5 on the 6th.
Another purchase after Christmas was shown on the 7th, the Topshop Smokey Eye Gift Set.
The next day brought a second beauty combo, Beauty Combo #2: Bronzed & Contoured.
The 9th showed another post-Christmas purchase, this time giving my opinion on a YSL lipstick, with Tried and Tested: YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick.
On the 10th, I showcased an array of Everyday Eyeshadows.
Despite all the things I bought after Christmas, I uploaded my Wish List #1 on the 13th after a short break from 10 constant blogging days.
More purchases; the 15th brought a Mac Haul. Oooeee.
And more MAC -- on the 17th I showed my rather excessive MAC Lipstick Collection (well, its not too excessive...).
Buying stuff again... New Makeup Brush Purchases came to you on the 18th.
After a week away from uploading on the blogosphere, I brought you the comparison of the Naked 1 and 3 palettes, Naked Love, on the 25th.
Polished: The Mint Glitter Accent was brought to you on the 28th.
The penultimate post of the month has me comparing two makeup removers on the 30th, in Makeup Removal: Purity vs Micellar Solution.
And the final post of the month, The Red Lip Edit.


Also this month, I applied for Daily Mix's Beauty Bootcamp, which if you don't know what that is, it's basically a competition to find the next star of Daily Mix, AND they put my entry video on their channel along with a few more! I have all fingers crossed that I'll get to take part because it's a fantastic channel and last years BB looked so fun.


And for this month in Instagram...

Lip Combo #1


Following my last two"beauty combo" posts HERE and HERE, I thought I'd do another post with another combo that I wear together, this time being a lip combo.

So I wear the lipstick in Magnetism from Illamasqua, which is a raspberry pink in a matte finish (these literally do not budge at all), with Benefit's Bella Bamba Lipgloss, which is a very similar colour. These go perfectly together, because the lipstick is so matte that a gloss just goes on top of it perfectly because once the lipstick is on, it doesn't go anywhere.

January Favourites

I've decided to (try to) get back into monthly favourites posts, and considering I've been loving so many products this month, I thought I'd dive back into monthly favourites!


My first favourite is the Babyllis Big Hair Spinning Brush. I got this for Christmas after reading about it on Lily Pebbles' blog; it basically is like having your hair blow-dried at the hair dressers, because it's such an absolute pain, if not impossible, to dry your hair with a hairdryer and round brush (well, it is for me anyway). This is the perfect for me because it means that I don't need to use my straighteners as much, because my hair is SO ridiculously damaged by heat (and a lot of bleach, oops) and this doesn't seem to put that much heat on the hair, which is probably why my hair is feeling soooooo much better than it used to be.

I got the Urban Decay Naked Basics for Christmas and I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. It has 6 shadows in it, 5 matte and 1 satin finish. It's a fantastic everyday palette, but also is great to pair with a coloured eyeshadow or a palette that doesn't include essential mattes. I've mainly been wearing the shade "Walk Of Shame" all over my lid, "Naked 2" through the crease and "Venus" as an inner corner and brow highlight.
Omg. I LOVE the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation so much. I think it's definitely my favourite foundation, which is a huge thing to say from me (I'm quite picky when it comes to foundations, hehe). I did another post about this which you can read HERE.
Going with the foundation above is the Rimmel Match Perfection Silky Loose Powder. This works best with the matching foundation, however it's generally just amazing. It keeps everything covered but because it's loose means that it feels really lightweight on the skin.

And finally, something that I've had for so long but only just really started liking it is the Benefit Hervana blush. My friend Nicole and I both got this just over two years ago when her mum went to New York, and I've had rather a love-hate relationship with it, however for the past few weeks it's been my go-to blush for definite!
