JANUARY 2016 Favorites

Hey loves! I just can’t believe 2016 is over and I’m already here talking about my January favorites!! I probably say this in every favorites post, but time flies by way too fast, especially the older I get. But now that the first month of 2017 is almost over, it’s time to share all of the beauty products I have been loving throughout the month of January. I also included a few of my faves from December since I didn’t have time to share my most-used products then. Here’s a list of everything I have been loving lately, so keep on reading!

❤ Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet
I just got this moisturizer about two weeks ago and I already know it’s a favorite of mine. This moisturizer hydrates my skin without it being too heavy for my combination skin. It sinks into my skin right away and hydrates it perfectly throughout the day! The consistency is very lightweight and it does feel like a sorbet in a way.

❤ Balea Sweet Mandarin Lip Balm
Since it has been getting colder here in Belgium (way too cold!!), my lips have been extremely dry and damaged by the weather. They’re chapped and flakey, but whenever I apply this lip balm by Balea it nourishes my lips and makes them feel all soft again. Oh and it smells heavenly! 

❤ Too Faced HangoverX Replenishing Face Primer
I picked up this primer at the end of December and have been using it ever since. This primer is extremely moisturizing and my foundation sits beautifully on top of it. It also makes my foundation stay on longer without it clinging to dry patches.

❤ I Heart Makeup Bronze & Glow Face Palette
This is such an affordable and amazing face kit! It comes with a contour shade and a GORGEOUS highlight and the powders are extremely soft and blendeable.

❤ Max & More Ultimate Face Powder Palette
This is one of my most recent discoveries and I can’t get enough! For less than €2 you get a palette that has everything you could possibly need to contour your face. It comes with two blushes, bronzers, highlighters,… I’m also doing a giveaway on this palette, so don’t forget to enter! 

❤ Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette (review)
Definitely my favorite palette for the month of January! This palette by Too Faced smells like peaches, comes with gorgeous shades and the packaging is super adorable. I dedicated an entire review and video to this palette, so definitely check that out as well! 

❤ Violet Voss Holy Grail Pro Eyeshadow Palette (review)
This was most definitely my favorite and most used eyeshadow palette throughout the month of December. It comes with every single warm neutral shadow you could possibly need and the quality is outstanding.

❤ Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in ‘Koosh’ (review)
Koosh by Colourpop is hands down the most stunning silver eyeshadow I’ve ever tried! I used this baby in my New Year’s Eve makeup tutorial and it’s gorgeous.

❤ Colourpop Flat Shader Brush
To apply my Colourpop Super Shock Shadows I have been loving the Colourpop flat shader brush they recently launched. This brush does work best with their darker shades, but overall it’s an excellent brush to pack on any shimmery color to the lids.

❤ Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in ‘Times Square’ (review)
Again, I dedicated an entire review to this baby, but it has been one of my most-used lip products throughout the months of December & January. It’s such a pretty darker nude! 

❤ Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in ‘Baracuda’ (review)
Same goes for this one, I adore the USL formula and this shade is absolutely beautiful! 

❤ The Life-Changing Magic Of Not Giving a Fuck – Sarah Knight
This book is actually life changing! If you’re someone like me who cares way too much about what other people think, I would highly recommend you picking up this book.
