Favourites: January 2011.

So I'm getting better at this whole blogging idea. Before you had more chances of winning the lottery than seeing me update my blog. Ahhh, yes January favourites time. I haven't really been wearing much makeup this month at all. I've been a bit lazy to be completely honest with you.

The foundation I used the most was the MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I prefer airbrushing my makeup on but it is just quicker in the morning to use liquid foundation. I use only a tiny amount because it is a heavy coverage foundation.

I really loved using the Bloom mineral blush in Peach. It is matte colour but it just makes my face look more radiant and awake. Bizarre product but if you can get your hands on it you should give it a go. I also loved using the ELF blush and bronzer duo (the one that is comparable to the Nars Laguna/Orgasm duo - even though they are nothing alike). The bronzer doesn't look muddy on the face nor does it look to shimmery so it is perfect for an everyday contour for me. The blush also make quite a few appearances of my cheeks this month. It gives a very lovely radiance to my skin and wakens me up a bit.

The Naked Palette, oh how I love you. I haven't really been wearing much eye makeup but when I wanted something extra my hand automatically reached for this. It is a life saver because there is no faffing around when it comes to the Naked palette. The colours I've been using the most this month are Naked, Buck and Darkhorse. Sometimes even a little bit of Sin or Sidecar (Virgin as my highlight goes without saying).

Revlon Double Twist Mascara has always been one of my favourites and I really loved using it again this month. Separates my lashes while thickening and giving them volume. It's not the most lengthening mascara but that isn't a problem for me as I have reasonably long lashes anyway. I also like using the Cargo Lash Activator. It is very thickening and I may just have to purchase the full size version.

I've been wearing bolder lips this month as the rest of the face has been neutral. I'm not one of those believers that dramatic eyes = nude lips, however I didn't want to look dead so I wore a No7 lip liner in red with my MAC Violetta lipstick. The lip liner is like in your face red which isn't my favourite but with the purple lipstick (no joke) it looks more magenta-y.

I've been loving my Paco Robanne Lady Million perfume that I got for Christmas. I wanted it for the longest time and now I can't stop wearing it.

Music! The one artist who stands out the most is Zachary Sterling. He is AMAZING. He was the only artist I listened to throughout my whole 10 hour art exam. He has an amazing soft but masculine voice. It's crazy. But anyway his YouTube username is zacharyxbinks. Go listen to him because he is awesome!

That's everything... I think.
