January Favorites

What is up Internet community?!

I'm taking a break from studying for midterms and writing a blog about a few of my beauty favorites and some non-beauty favorites of the month! Keep on reading if you want to see what I've been absolutely LOVING this month!

First up, my favorite foundation of the month is definitely Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua! Such an amazing product! It's such a light-weight foundation that feel like you're literally wearing no foundation at all! And I'm one of those people who absolutely hate the feeling of when you actually feel your makeup sitting on top of your skin. Such a nasty feeling! YUCK! But this foundation, my goodness! Amazing!

The next product is a lip product that I've recently featured in my latest haul: NYX Xtreme Lip Cream. It's been my go to lip product. The color payoff of this product is so there!! Absolutely opaque!! I usually put only a little amount on my lips and sheer it out so it gives the perfect little hint of color. It has a really thick and "rich" texture, if that makes sense. That's actually the word that comes to my mind when I think of this product: rich. I DON'T KNOW WHY! xD I have it in the color Buttery Nude. Perfect everyday color. Enough said.

My next favorite beauty product is another NYX product. Their Eyebrow Cake Powder in Blonde, in particular. (NYX products are just so freaking awesome!). I have to note that my hair is no where near blonde. It's a really dark brown, practically black. I didn't want to get one of their darker sets because I don't want eyebrows that jump out and say "HEY! LOOK AT ME!". Instead, I got this and use the lightest color to fill in my brows everyday. With this color, I can achieve nice full eyebrows that look really natural! If I ever want more defined and full brows, then I can mix a bit of the darker color in, but I think the lighter shade alone is fine.

My last beauty product of the month is Stila's Sensational in Sydney palette. I got this as a Christmas present from one of my friends this past year. The color selection in it is perfect for a light daytime look, a sexy nighttime look, and all of the possible looks in between. I've been using this lately as my everyday eyeshadow palette (even setting aside my Naked2 palette for it :O). I just love how it's so compact! I will definitely bring this with me when I fly back home for Spring Break.

I only have one non-beauty product that I think deserves some serious recognition. It is Vita Fusion's Multi Vites. They are like gummy vitamins for adults! These are essential for college students who focus a lot of their time on school and sometimes neglect maintaining a proper nutrition. Just two gummies give the Vitamin A equivalence of 1 cup of broccoli, the Vitamin C equivalence of 10 tangerines, and the Vitamin D equivalence of 3 oz. of salmon. This is awesome for a person like me who hates broccoli and doesn't eat fish (because I'm a vegetarian). Only two a day, but it's so good that it'll make you want to eat more than 2!!

What has been your beauty favorites and non-beauty favorites of the month?

Till next time!
