January Favourites!



So, we've jumped out of one month and straight into another. Hello February! Since Christmas, the January sales and my birthday I've tried out many different products 

L'Oreal Paris Studio Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray:
With this product being sold out for nearly the whole of January, the second I saw it on the shelf in Boots I grabbed a can and stuck it in my basket. I first heard about this product when Zoella, mentioned it in her November Favourites video last year. This products claims to give back-combed volume & instant matte texture and that's exactly what it does, and all with out the harshness on your hair of back-combing with a brush. Not only that, but it also smells amazing too! And for only £3.79 who can complain, an amazing product for an amazing price, a must have for all you back-comb lovers out there!

EOS Lip Balm - Summer Fruit:
Unfortunately, in the UK we can't buy EOS (Evolution of Smooth) products. But, my lovely pen-pal Caitlin sent me one over (what a babe) in a Christmas Package. I love this lip balm to pieces, it has literally become my savior product during the cold chilly month of January. It's smells and tastes so yummy and it doesn't feel sticky on your lips like some lip balms can, if you do live in the UK can want to try this out, Amazon sometimes sells some for a fairly reasonable price and sometimes sells them where you can get all of the flavours for around £7-£9 which is pretty cheap for all 6-7.

Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter - 080 Strawberry Shortcake:
I don't know where I've been for the past few months, but I must've been under a rock, how have I never discover these little beauty's before?! Whilst in Boots the other week there was a 3 for 2 offer across pretty much the whole of the make-up section, and this was one of the colours that I chose. It's a very barbieish sort of pink but when you apply it looks a lot paler, so you won't need to worry about looking like a Barbie doll! It has been my go to lipstick this month and fits in perfectly with my everyday makeup look and it's even perfect enough to wear to Sixth Form to add a pop of colour to my lips. A definite must have for lipstick lovers out there.

Juicy Couture Perfume - Noir:
Since opening this Christmas morning, it has been my go to perfume. I wore it throughout the last days of December and throughout the WHOLE of January, I absolutely love it! I would definitely say it's become my staple scent. The packaging is gorgeous consisting of a pink bottle with a black bow to finish it off. I think, in general, my favourite brand of perfume is Juicy Couture, all the perfumes are just really sweet and girly and definitely up my street, I shall be saving up to buy a full size bottle!

Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream:
This has to be one of the best eye creams that I've ever tried, I got the sample size in a set for Christmas. I use it every night and I still have around half the pot left, all I do is take my ring finger (the softest) scoop up a little bit of the product and pat it under my eye until it's all soaked in. It works wonders and really help to right the bags that you get under eyes due to lack of sleep or stress, it also helps to brighten your eyes up and makes you look more awake. I love this eye cream because not only is it a miracle product but it also smell like Bailey's, I shall definitely save up to buy the full size pot. 

L'Oreal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara:
Whilst helping my mom do the food shopping in Tesco's a few weeks back, this product caught my eye. Modeled by the beautiful Barbara Palvin, this new mascara has a very Kawaii, Japanese theme to it. With an introductory offer of £5.99 (usually £8.99) who could resit? So, with this gorgeous looking mascara set in my sights, I picked one up whilst in Boots the following weekend. Before I picked up this mascara I used the Benefit They're Real mascara, and I have to say this is a very close dupe for a fraction of the price! This is definitely on my re-purchase list. 

Maybelline Baby Skin:
I did a full review of this product last week here but it's one of the best primers that I've tried. Although, it's a silicone primer it may not be some peoples cup of tea but, I really find it helps to keep my make-up on for longer and stops it melting off my face during the day. At £7.99 it's a good drugstore primer and will absolutely be on my re-purchase list!

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo:
I first heard about this product through YouTube ad's where Ruth (amodelreccomends) and Tanya Burr spoke about how much they loved this product. I received a sample size in the post and good golly miss molly I love it, I purchased the full size product in the Winter sales when it had about 1/3 off it, I also got a voucher for £2 off when I received the sample size so I used that to which meant I bought this for around £7 instead of about £13. I love this product as it helps to keep your skin clear and it helps to remove any under skin spots that you might have, leaving your skin feels smooth and fresh. It's a holy grail product for sure!

Soap & Glory Body Buttercream - Sugar Crush:
Summer in a tub, I love love love this product to pieces. Not only does it smell amazing but it feels amazing on the skin too, in my opinion it smells like Suncream, Mojito's and the beach, the perfect holiday combination! It soaks into the skin really quickly so you're not sat around for ages wrapped in a towel waiting for it to soak in, it leaves your skin feeling soft and smelling lush. This products fits in well when I use the Sugar Crush body wash and the scrub before as it preps the skin ready for moisturiser leaving the skin feeling extra smooth.

So that's all for my January Favourites, what have been your go to products this month?

Until next time, goooood byeeeeee!
