January Favourites

I bought this Bourjois shadow set on Beautyemporium.ie for very little. I think its perfect for beginners with its set by set instructions to help guide you.

I am loving virgin by Urban Decay in the Naked palette. I have been applying it on my brow bone to highlight it.

A great black chunky pencil by Fearne. I have blogged about these pencils Here before. I am really love using this on my lash line because its so chunky it takes seconds to apply and doesnt leave my eyes watering like other eyeliners.

Really fun lashes, great shape and quality.

I have used this on my skin EVER SINGLE day this month. I love it. It doesnt give full coverage but because ive been taking care of my skin this month it leave a nice finish and Im confident its enough coverage for me.

Another product I have been using every single day this month is the NYC blushable creme stick in big apple blush. I received this for christmas and I am so glad I did. Once I find it in the shops i'm going to stock up.

Great for getting every single lash and leaves them looking long and luscious.

A fun product to use, I have blogged about this Here

After trying the LUSH lip scrub in mint I had to get my hands on another one. This one is delicious (though your not suppose to eat it!) Leaves my lips feeling lovely and soft.

In this photo I am wearing the Bourjois eye shadow set, virgin shadow on brow bone, Fearne chunky eye pencil, eyelashes by just lashes, NYC blush and the Barry M lipstick.

There you go ladies, my January favourites. Have you tried any of these products? If not you really should. The are all inexpensive and worth the try I think.

Barry M - Touch of Magic - Lip Paint

I received this Barry M lipstick in a swap I did with Liv91 on Youtube. I have to say I was a little lost. I had heard of it before but never seen it in person. I knew it wasn't green when applied so the only way to find out what it would look like was to try it out.

It reminds me of those fake lipsticks I use to have in plastic make-up sets as a little girl.

I had swatched it on my hands when I got it but didn't try it on my lips until the following week. I noticed the swatch took a good day to fully wash off. I also had a bit of advice from Nina Reviews to be careful when applying because of its staining power. I didn't want to have wonky lips so I applied it REALLY carefully!

Before & After

I like the colour it achieved it and it lasted all day. The Barry M website claims "A waterproof formula with added Aloe Vera stays on for up to 8 hours. Depending on the alkali level of your lips, determines just how pale or rich the colour will go." It was a lovely bright shade I must say. I hadn't planned going out the day I tried it and after I applied it I had to go visit my boyfriends family. I looked a bit funny because I had also tried out the green Fearne eye pencil which I reviewed Here so together I looked a tad odd! I think his family know I'm a bit special anyway so its all good!
