Beauty ¦ January Beauty favourites


So it's that time of the month again. I've bought a lot of stuff in the past month and with all of the lovely beauty bits I received for Christmas it was pretty hard to whittle down everything so this post didn't end up ridiculously long!
 
Starting off with something I am a little bit obsessed with, the Makeup geek powder shadows are incredible. I actually popped up a post about all the shades in my palette //here// but they are all incredibly pigmented and an absolute dream to blend. I definitely need to get round to picking up some more shades.
 
I've never tried the Benefit boxed blushes before however I've been using this palette pretty much non-stop this month. My favourites have been Rockateur which I knew I would love as it's just so pretty and Dandelion which was a shade which I didn't expect to love as much as I do as I expected it to be a little non descript however it is the perfect shade for when I wear a lot of eye makeup.
 
If you are a regular reader you know I absolutely love a good dark lip. Revlon Black cherry is something I've worn a lot in the past month. It's one of those gorgeous dark wine shades. It's a shade that every time I've worn someone has said something about how much they like the shade. I really love the formula, glossy isn't what I usually go for in a dark lip however this one doesn't move about at all unlike 99% of glossy dark lipsticks.
 

I am still on the hunt for the perfect foundation and although I haven't found it yet I am super impressed with the Urban decay Naked skin foundation. It feels incredibly lightweight on the skin and leaves the skin super healthy. The one thing I will say however is that I picked up the shade 0.5 which I expected to be light enough however it is still to dark and a little bit to yellow toned. I can still wear it however as long as I make sure it's blended out well. It's definitely not one for the people who like a really full coverage however if you are looking for a low to medium super lightweight foundation this is definitely a nice one.
 
Benefit Gimme brow is always something that I never got around to trying as I was a little cautious that it wasn't going to live up to the hype that surrounds it. However I am so impressed with it. It helps give my brows a lot more volume whilst adding a little bit of colour too. I've been pairing it with the Maybelline brow satin pencil and it is all I have been wearing on my brows.
 
Finally for this months favourites is the Bourjois colour edition 24h in Petale de glace which is what I've been reaching for when I haven't been wearing the makeup geek shadows. It is a really strange texture and once on the lids it is a powder. The shade is a super pretty pinky taupe shade and I feel like not only do I love it now but I also feel like it will make the most perfect super easy throw on shadow for the summer as once it's on the lids it doesn't move at all.

  4. Fab post lovely, some really great picks :) I really need to try MG eyeshadows as I’ve heard so many good things :) Gimme Brow is so good, and I have to agree it definitely helps give brows that added oomph without the hassle of filling it in :)
