A Few January Favourites

 


I’ve been favouring sheer, hydrating lipsticks this month and Chanel’s Antigone and Chatecaille’s Bourbon Rose have both been colours I’ve reached for often. Antigone is a pretty raspberry red/berry shade and Bourbon Rose is a natural, cool rose pink. 

Laura Mercier’s Sweetheart Lip Glace has also found a home in my make up bag. I’m normally not much of a gloss fan, but I’m actually really liking the non-sticky formula and pretty hint of pink glossiness this adds to my lips.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird and Laura Mercier’s Caviar stick in Twilight have both been firm favourites in the shadow department this month. Delicate Hummingbird is a beautiful purple taupe and Twilight is a fantastic dark metallic grey, which works well as a base for other shadow shades and as a liner.

Becca’s Romanticism Eye Tint is a product I’ve used frequently since purchasing last year. It adds a hint of sheer, bronze-y, mauve colour to my lids, and like the other tints from range, creates a perfect base for other shadow shades. 

The mascara I’ve been favouring this month is, Laura Mercier’s Lash Building Mascara. It separates, adds a little bit of volume and darkens lashes well, but still looks fairly natural.

Blush has been a pretty boring affair throughout January. I’ve stuck to one colour almost everyday, Chanel’s Orchid Rose. The shade adds a touch of peachy colour to my cheeks and leaves a pretty, subtle glow. On the days I haven’t worn this, I’ve used NARS Douceur

  2. I've also been enjoying hydrating lipsticks, I just wish they lasted longer! I find myself reapplying Rouge Coco Shines almost every hour or so.

    1. I know, it's my only complaint with hydrating/glossy formulas. Rouge Coco Shines don't last long on my lips either. The pretty stain that the more pigmented shades leave behind is nice though.

  3. Me han hablado genial de Laura Mercier, es una lástima que no haya probado nunca ninguno de sus productos, el labial de Chanel también es impresionante, y ese color de colorete también me gusta muchísimo. Vamos, todo en general. ¡Qué suerte tienes de haberlos podido usar este mes! Son productos muy acertados.

    Te sigo guapa, tienes nueva seguidora!
    Tienes un blog muy chulo. Un besito!

    1. The Laura Mercier products I've tried have all been lovely, I'm particularly fond of the Caviar Sticks at the moment. They're so easy to apply and don't budge once they're on!

  4. This is a lovely, muted palette of colors! I've been thinking about trying a LM gloss - they sound great and come in some nice, non-shimmery shades. Glad to hear you like them!

    1. I am really liking the Laura Mercier gloss at the moment, Larie. The non-sticky formula feels really comfortable, and the shade is pretty.
