January Beauty Favorites


Another month has come and gone!  I don't know about you, but I'm already struck with Spring Fever.  I watch with anticipation as the thermometer slowly but surely gets above 0 degrees!  Moving on from that, besides a *slight* increase in temperature being a favorite of mine this month, I have found some gorgeous beauty products that I've been loving, too!

Wayne Goss 'The Holiday Brush' ($85)
A bit of a splurge buy on my part, but after owning and completely loving his brush collection, I simply couldn't resist.  I also really love Wayne Goss, as a YouTuber, as well.  He's the only YouTuber that I've actually had the pleasure of meeting in person - so I always get a little inkling of the memory of meeting him whenever I use his brushes.  Moving on from that story, this is a beautiful brush.  It's quite large, which makes it perfect for just about anything relating to the face.  I tend to use it for contouring/blush work; however, it would also be great as a powder brush, too.  Very expensive, very much worth the price!  I believe this is also limited edition, so snatch it up, quick!

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in 'Espresso' ($9.99)
I'm a massive fan of gel liners, I find them easier to use than liquid liners and pencils.  However, there aren't too many wallet-friendly options for gel eyeliners out there, so when I saw this - it was love.  I have gotten a fair few compliments on this eyeliner, and it's so easy to use and long-lasting.  Even better - it comes with a pretty decent brush (two for one!).  The consistency and ease of use is also quite similar to MAC Fluidline, for about $6 cheaper.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Mascara ($9.99)
Another drugstore find - this mascara does its job flawlessly.  No clumps, no brittle lashes, it just voluminizes and lengthens my lashes!  I would highly recommend this mascara - it's a little more expensive than other drugstore alternatives, but it's well worth it!

MAC 'Painterly' Paint Pot ($20)
I bought MAC Painterly (review here) about a year ago and absolutely hated it.  However, once I ran out of my beloved NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (review here), I decided to simply use this paint pot up.  What I didn't anticipate is that this paint pot works almost, as well as the NARS one!  My eyeshadow can sometimes start to crease towards the late evening, but that doesn't even happen too often.  I also love how much product you get with this - it will definitely last me for about a year!  Nonetheless, don't use this as a base for other cream eyeshadows, it will crease like no other; but if you're using powder eyeshadows, this is gorgeous.

Burberry Body EDP Rose Gold Edition (LE)
This beautiful perfume (review here) has been getting me compliments left and right for the past few months.  I'm on a mission to finish all of my perfumes up, and I'm on the last few spritzes of this one.  It's a warm, floral scent that is perfect for the cooler months!  I should also mention that I have the limited edition rose gold packaging; however, it is the exact same perfume as the regular Burberry Body EDP, just with different packaging!  I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a new perfume, and I will definitely be purchasing a new one very soon.

What have you been loving this month?  List them, or post links to your favorites, below, and I will definitely check them out!
