January Favourites 2015

The month of January is over (I hope your month was better than mine), and we're met with the equally unexciting month of February. However, last month I discovered some new and exciting favourite things, and here I am to share them with you!

Gossip Girl 

I'm a bit late to the game on this one, but recently I started watching Gossip Girl. I'm already on season 4, and I'm hooked. *Disclaimer - do not start watching if you have plans to be productive, it is ridiculously addictive.*

Mac lipstick - Living Legend

My next favourite item is this matte lipstick by Mac. It was a Christmas present, and is in the shade Living Legend, which is a purple-dark red colour. It is really dark shade, so obviously not for everyone, but it's just so pretty! Obviously, Mac products are usually quite pricey (this one was £15.50), but this is a good quality product.

Barry M nail varnish

I looooove painting my nails, and going out with bare nails makes me feel naked haha. Barry M is my favourite nails brand, and I couldn't just pick one shade to feature in this blog post because they are all to die for! (Left to right - Matte Top Coat, Matte Vanilla, Aquarium Collection Pacific, Aquarium Collection Arabian, Raspberry, Diamond Glitter, Nightshade, Gelly Sugar Apple and Gelly Chai)

Wreck This Journal

This was also a Christmas gift (thanks Shanice) and I'm enjoying filling it out. It's a good distraction when you're feeling stressed, and is just generally a lot of fun!

Polabora

I bought some of my iPhone photos printed as polaroids using a website called Polabora, and I really recommend this company. Service was quick, and it was easy to upload the photos I wanted printed. When my polaroids came through my door, they were in cute hand made packaging which made receiving the photos even more enjoyable. These prints were a cute addition to my room, and are also perfect for scrapbooking. I highly recommend this service, as polaroid cameras can cost a lot, and I got twenty of these prints for about £8.

Rimmel Stay Matte foundation 

Another make up favourite! I have oily skin, and I'm really pale, so finding a foundation that is both matte coverage and is the right colour is so difficult for me. I kind of bought this foundation on a whim last week, and was pleasantly surprised when I used it. It stays matte for a good few hours, provides a good  and smooth coverage, and is a good shade that suits my skin. The only problem I have with this product is that it is very thick, which makes it slightly more difficult to apply, but I find that it is easier to apply with a brush.

PVRIS - White Noise

I mentioned this in my Music Faves blog, but I think it deserves a mention in this post too. PVRIS are one of my most recent music discoveries, and I couldn't recommend this album enough. It's so good!

I hope this post gave some inspiration into new things you could try out. If people like this sort of post, I'll most likely do it at the start of each month. Thank you for taking the time to read, lots of hugs and have a good week!
