Hello lovelies,
This is my first actual blog post apart from my introduction so I hope you like it :')
It's February already, how crazy is that? The year is going so quickly already. I thought that it was about time that I did my January favourites before it was too late into February. I've been trying out quite a few new products this last month with getting a few new beauty products for Christmas. Unfortunately, some of them have been disappointing however, these are the ones that I have loved!
These are the six beauty products that I have chosen to feature in my January favourites! They are (from left to right): Benefit They're Real mascara, Ralph Lauren Big Pony 2 for women, L'Oreal Elnett Satin heat styling spray, Nars Sheer Matte foundation in Gobi, Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in hazel and Lee Stafford Treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length.
My first favourite beauty product is the Benefit They're Real mascara! I got this for Christmas along with a miniture version which is a perfect handbag size. When I first heard about this mascara I was very excited because of all of the amazing reviews however, I expected it to only give length to my lashes from the style of brush. Amazingly, this mascara gives both length and volume for the perfect lashes. It means that you don't have to layer lots of mascaras on top of each other to achieve the look that you want. So basically, I'm in love with this mascara! Thanks Santa x

My second favourite beauty product is also something that I received as a gift for Christmas. It is the Ralph Lauren Big Pony 2 for women! I first smelt this perfume when on a ferry coming over from Germany to the UK and automatically fell in love with it. I don't normally use perfumes that much however, I've already used so much of this *sigh*. The smell of this perfume is gorgeous yet not too over powering, perfect for daytime and evening wear. It is a very sweet, floral smell with a hint of vanilla (i think anyway haha). But yeah, along with Marc Jacobs Daisy (the pink one), this is definitely my favourite perfume at the moment. x

My third favourite beauty product is the L'Oreal Elnett Satin heat styling spray! I actually bought this a while back due to the horrid condition of my hair from how much is curl/straighten it. I love the Elnett hairspray and constantly re-purchase it so I thought I'd give the heat protection a go without reading any reviews. Anyway, I have been using this ever since I bought it and I love it! Before my hair was very dry and my split ends were atrocious, now my hair looks and feels so much more healthier and has a natural sheen to it. Obviously my split ends are still there but they don't seem to be as visible now as they did when my hair was very dry and burnt (maybe that's just me going blind) x

My fourth favourite beauty product is the Nars Seer Matte foundation in Gobi! This is actually a re-purchase as I originally purchased this foundation whist on holiday in America but oh my goodness I am in love with it! Obviously being Nars this is quite expensive but let me assure you, it is 100% worth it. When I first purchased it, it was April and I didn't have to re-purchase it until late December which shows just how long it lasts compared to cheaper drugstore foundations. The coverage of this foundation is amazing, it's very light on the skin yet hides all (most depending on the redness) blemishes and any facial marks that you may wish to cover. Even though it is a very light foundation, it also layers very well for a slightly darker/heavier look yet it still manages to look quite natural at the same time. I also find that this foundation lasts for quite a long time whereas some drugstore foundations come off a lot easier. But yeah basically I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!x

My fifth favourite beauty product is the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in hazel (002). I've been looking for a decent eyebrow pencil for quite a while however, the ones that I've had either haven't been good quality or they aren't as dark as they look (my fault for not testing them in the shop) however, this eyebrow pencil is brilliant! I wasn't too sure if this shade would be too dark as I am quite pale and don't have very dark eyebrows however, it was just right. The thin pencil makes it easy for you not only fill in your brows but shape them too if you're running late and don't have time pluck them. The lid also has a brush attached to the side to blend/shape your brows once you're finished which i find very handy when i don't have my eyebrow brushes with me. Overall, I really like this eyebrow pencil but let me know if you have any favourites for me to try x

Last but not least, my sixth favourite beauty product is the Lee Stafford Treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length! My hair is awful, it just will NOT grow at all. Well obviously it is growing but not quick enough for my liking :( My mum kindly got me this for Christmas and I love it! I didn't wake up with 50" more hair or anything, that would be silly, but it did seriously improve the condition of my hair: it's now a lot healthier and doesn't snap off when it gets to a certain length (which was the main reason for it not seeming to grow). I use this product every Saturday in between shampooing and conditioning, leave it on for 5 minutes as a mask all over my hair and it leaves my hair feeling and smelling like heaven. My hair has definitely benefited from using this! x
So yeah, they're my January favourites! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and feel free to leave any advice or tips that you have for me - I'd appreciate any constructive criticism :)
Love from,
