January Beauty Favorites

I am a self confessed beauty junkie. My interest in beauty products really sparked during my first pregnancy with Madelyn a few years ago. I couldn’t shop for clothes due to a growing belly, so I shopped for makeup!

Since then, I’ve slowly amassed a collection of beauty products that I carefully test and edit every month. This year, I decided it was time to share more of my love for all things beauty on the blog. I’ve broken it down into lips, eyes, cheeks and tools.

LIPS:

Tom Ford Lip Color Shine in Frolic

I splurged on a Tom Ford lipstick this month and I am so glad that I did! It is the most luxurious formula and “Frolic” is the nicest, subtle pink. Don’t laugh, but I took a photo to show you! I’m very seriously in love with this lip color.

EYES:

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

I finally gave up my quest for a perfect concealer and went back to the first concealer I ever used! I have found nothing (yet) like this Bobbi Brown concealer that can tame my under eye circles.

CHEEKS:

Stila Convertible Color

I have an entire palette of MAC blushes, but I have been a bit underwhelmed with them. I tested a sample of Stila Convertible Color and loved it! It’s very easy to blend out for a more natural look. And, it doesn’t look shiny or greasy like some cream blushes. I’ve since bought Petunia and Gerbera and they have become my go-to blushes.

TOOLS:

MAC 217 Blending Brush

I have a lot of makeup brushes and this is by far my favorite! This brush is soft and fine and the perfect size for blending eye shadows. I use this mostly as a crease brush and it works brilliantly.

Have you tried any of these products? I would love to know your current beauty favorites!

P.S. The beauty organizer shown above is this one. I keep my everyday essentials here and then store the rest in a train case similar to this one or in a sliding drawer. I am still searching for the perfect makeup storage solution. Any tips appreciated!

I just ordered the Stila Convertible Color at Nordstrom website. They let me get three samples of beauty products too for FREE.. How nice. Thanks for this email

Hi, Jeannine! I hope you like it! For best results, I like to blend it onto my cheeks with a large round brush for foundation or blush. The nice thing about the Stila Convertible Color is that they double for lipstick, too! Enjoy!

That lip colour really is beautiful and subtle! It looks great on you. And I'm currently on the lookout for a new blush to add to my collection - I might have to check out the Stila one! xx Kathryn Through the Thicket

Hi Kimberly! In my opinion, I would check out cosmocube.com for awesome makeup storage options. They're on the pricey side but they would make a great birthday gift if from the hubby! Best, Jackie

I love beauty products, too! I have wanted to try the Bobbi Brown concealer for a long time.. That Stila blush is pretty and looks like there's several other pretty shades to chose from. Thanks for sharing your faves!
