Well hello hello my beautiful friends, time for my first favourites in 2015. Let's go
New Makeup New Look
It's been a pretty good month and I've got a good mixture of makeup and skincare favs to share with you. Some are new to me and some are oldies but goodies so I hope you like it.
Let's start with makeup brushes. It's a brush kinda month I should say because I have 3 here to show you. The first one is an old Sephora Bronzer brush that I've had for ages but never really worked for me no matter how I try it and how many times I try it, it's just not happening. But I dug it out and for some reason I have really enjoyed using it in conjunction with my Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel. It's very dense but buffs in this cream bronzer really well, just looks seamless and flawless on my skin. Love it!
Second brush is a new discovery thanks to Amelia Liana who is the biggest inspiration for me and I completely trust her opinion when it comes to beauty products. I actually saw one of her latest videos and she was on about using a fan brush to dust setting powders on the face instead of a traditional powder brush and that just completely utterly changed how my powder looks on my skin. It looks flawless and most importantly non cakey which is just awesome! I have a Sephora one here and it works really well because of the soft fluffy bristles, it picks up the tiniest amount of product and you can never over-do your powders with this baby. A little suggestion: if you have tried any face powders before and think they looks cakey or thick, well give them another chance by using a fan brush this time and I'm sure you'll see the difference.
Last brush fav is this Pencil Brush by Zoeva. I have been really enjoying using just eyeliners along my upper and lower lash lines then smudge with this pencil brush, it is the easiest and prettiest eye makeup look ever, great for one of those late mornings cuz it literally takes a minute. Thumbs up for that!
Now let's talk about skincare. If you follow my blog or instagram you know that I'm obsessed with this Rosehip mask by Pai Skincare. I'm really sad that this is limited edition but the good news is Pai brings out every Christmas so I will definitely be stocking that up that's for sure. It just makes my skin feel and look well hydrated and even plus it is 100% natural. Click the link above for full deets because it is brilliant!
Now this little odd looking bottle is a collagen serum which I got in one of my Memeboxes and it is fabulous. It's very water-like in terms of colour and texture, it has no scent, well almost, I honestly can't describe how it smells like but it's not bad. This stuff makes me glow, seriously, 4 to 5 drops of this before my moisturiser, morning and night, I'll tell ya, Koreans are genius. This might not look like something interesting but it works. Very hydrating and my skin glows like nobody's business. Highly recommend if you can get your hands on.
I go through phases when it comes to lip colours. Sometimes I like really bold lipsticks and others I just enjoy a subtle sheer wash of colour, like now. These 2 products have been on my lips for the past month and I really enjoy them together, look so natural and pretty. Again the Rimmel lip liner is on the recommendation of Amelia Liana, and it's in the shade EastEnd Snob and the lipstick is by Tarte Cosmetics in the colour Merry Berry which is one of those your-lips-but-better colours and looks good on pretty much all skin tones in my opinion.
Last but certainly not least is my beloved Terracotta Sheer Bronzing Powder by Guerlain. I have the shade in 04 Sun Blondes. Guerlain does the best when it comes to bronzers and this stuff smells in-cre-di-ble. I can't even begin to tell you how gorgeous the scent is. The cool thing about this product is that it is a bronzer and blusher in one. I enjoy this baby the most in the summer as a bronzer but for this time of the year I just wanna look healthy and glowy so a little on the cheeks as a blusher will do the trick...
There you have it guys. Those are my January Favs and I hope you have enjoyed it. Make sure to tag me either on twitter or instagram @eflicciardello to show me your January favourites cuz I'm curious like that! Thank you and have a lovely day guys! Muahh!!
