January Favourites

Hi everyone,
I can't believe that it's time for another monthly favourites, this year is going so fast already! This month (or last month I suppose) I've been really focusing on just trying to use up things that I already have, so as a result I don't actually have that many makeup favourites to tell you about, which is unusual for me. I do however have a few other things that I've liked which I'll show you now.

MUA Red Lipstick

I've gone on about this lipstick so much on this blog already, I don't want to bore you with more, so all I'll say is this; I've never finished a lipstick before, but I think this is going to be the one. It's just a really nice, wearable red colour, and I've worn it so much, particularly this month.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Mascara

This is the only new makeup thing I've tried this month. I'm going to do a full review of this at some stage, so I don't want to say to much about it, except that it's a really good lengthening mascara, and I really like it so far (obviously, because I'm putting it in a favourites post.)


Essence Pro White Hardener

I  have extremely brittle nails and like to wear nail varnish a lot, which is not a good combination at all. There's been times in the past when, after wearing nail varnish it's taken my nails about a month to recover. However, in the last while I've started using a nail cream and this as my base coat, and I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my nails. I'd really recommend this.

 

 

NYC Nail Varnish in 'Prince Street'





Sticking with the nail varnish theme, I got this for Christmas, and really like colour. The photo doesn't really do it justice, but there's little bits of glitter in it, and it has a kind of metallic sheen to it. It lasted quite well too, I think it lasted about four or five days before chipping. It's not the best nail varnish to ever exist, but it was nice and I liked it.

Taylor by Taylor Swift Perfume

I was on the market for a new perfume when I found this in the Christmas sales. I'm not even going to attempt to try and explain the scent to you because I'll just end up talking crap, but it's just a really nice, sweet everyday perfume. And the bottle is so pretty!

Argan Oil

I'm a very late-comer to the whole Argan oil/Moroccan oil trend. I got this as a Christmas present, and started putting it in my hair after every couple of washes, and I have to admit it does work really well; it makes my hair really soft. Also it smells like Terry's Chocolate Orange, which is always a plus. I think you can get this particular one from Penneys.

Penneys Statement Necklace

I really like statement necklaces, and had had my eye on this one from Penneys for awhile. I wear a lot of plain jumpers and tops and I think just adds something to an outfit. I also really like the purple/maroon colour for autumn and winter.

Penneys Wishbone Necklace and Earrings

 

My other jewellery favourite for the month is this set from Penneys. In complete contrast to the other necklace it's absolutely tiny, and it's just a really nice subtle, simple addition to an outfit. Also I've been trying to wear earrings more this month, and having a pair I really liked helped. These sets are still in some shops as far as I know, and there are a couple of different ones, in gold and silver (a star, the infinity sign, a horseshoe and a couple of other ones that I can't remember). Also, they only cost €3.
