I haven't posted a set of monthly favourites since November as nothing had really inspired me so December and January would likely have been a rehash of the same old stuff. Okay Bourjois Healthy Mix is still in there, but I don't think I'll ever stop loving this foundation!
Last month I was loving:
Last month I was loving:
Bourjous Healthy Mix Foundation - Vanille 51 - I've almost finished this and have the back up ready and waiting!
MAC Wonder Woman Lipstick in Marquise D' - see a more detailed post on it here
No7 High Lights Illuminating Powder in Dandy Pink - I've really got into using this as a finishing powder like I do with Benefit Dandelion, but sadly it's been discontinued so I must start saving it!
e.l.f Blush in Gotta Glow - definitely NOT a blush, but a fabulous pale golden highlight powder akin to NARS Albratross at a fraction of the cost.
MaxFactor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation in Creamy Ivory 40 - have had this for ages but only unleashed it's full potential with my GOSH foundation brush. It's like a different product! Full review coming soon.
Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Dolly Pink - I can't get enough of cream blushes at the moment, and while this is my favourite for the time being, the search continues as I'm not completely enamored with the small glitter particles in the formulation. Click here for swatches.
EOS lipbalm in Lemon Drop - I use this every morning to soften my lips while I do my make up and they're in perfect condition by the time I apply my lippy. The taste is really growing on me too.
Benefit Eye Bright - I already loved this pale pink pencil for my browbone and nose-to-mouth lines, but now I use it to line my lower waterline and it's so much more natural than white. Love it.
Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit - I love all my pots of this but this colour is beautifully neutral and looks great on it's own with some mascara and eyeliner or used as a eyelid primer. Click here for swatches of all my CCSs.

Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap has been topping my iTunes Most Played list for the past month. This song give me tingles. I couldn't embed the video in this post but you can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxKjOOR9sPU
The healthy mix foundation is definitely a favourite of mine too, love it!

I love that song, it's one of my fav's too. I wish I could try out that lip balm but sadly they don't sell it here :(
ReplyDeleteI love Marquise D', it's my favourite lipstick at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to try The Healthy Mix foundation.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of the Elf Gotta GLow, might get it! Good tip abour eye bright on the waterline, I'll try it!
ReplyDeletegreat favorites! i have the lipstick and adore it too! x
ReplyDeleteWow, great favourites. I can't believe how similar the e.l.f. highlighter is to NARS's Albatross. I have the NARS one but if/when I run out, I will definitely be purchasing the e.l.f one instead. I really like Benefit's creaseless cream shadows, although I have yet to try 'Birthday Suit'.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many amazing things about the Bourjois foundation. It is definitely on my wishlist.

awesome favs :D
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer the healthy glow bronzing powder in luminance over gotta glow, I find it less glittery and more wearable, and pairs much smoother with matte blushes :D
I am in love with the Benefit shadows, i wish they weren't so damn expensive here!
ReplyDeleteThe Eos lipbalm looks fantastic! Unfortunately it isn't available in Poland:(
ReplyDeleteEOS lemon drop & Benefit cream shadow in birthday suit are on my list of February faves too!
ReplyDelete@Dyna - ooh thanks for he tip, I'll add it to my next order as it's only £1.50!
ReplyDeleteAfter finishing the max factor foundation you should try Gosh pot foundation..its lovely and buildable but feels like nothing on the skin!
