 We are at that point of the month again you guys the time that I love to film videos for you the most And it's because I get to show you everything that was really good And I tried for the month and I was reaching for over and over again And I'm so excited because I have a lot of new favorites I have some really tried and true things and then just a couple of things that are kind of random are coming in a Part two that will be more long lines of lifestyle Maybe some haircare that kind of thing and there's also some really cool Amazon finds in part two. So hello YouTube family Thank you so much for joining me today If you like these kinds of videos where I do monthly favorites and I show you the very best of the month Please give this video a thumbs up if you're new to my channel, please consider subscribing I would love to have you here as a part of our YouTube family. Let's get into the monthly favorites for January 2020 Alright, so I'm going to first talk about skin care because I felt like I was delving a little bit more into skin care watching skin care videos getting recommendations and just being really satisfied with a lot of the things I was learning now I will tell you that I did purchase the whole entire line of good molecules I purchased everything they have and So far I am in love with two of their products This one is the niacinamide brightening toner and I want to read to you right on the front what some of the Ingredients are this is such a good toner does not dry me out But it says that it's formulated with niacinamide of vitamin C Arbutin and licorice root extract to brighten and improve the appearance of enlarged pores niacinamide is fantastic for refining pores But licorice root which is in here is really good for brightening and our beauty is too So those all coupled together if you have patchiness on your skin dark spots Melasma that kind of thing this might be really good for you very very cost effective and I have been so enjoying it I just put some in my hand and I just pat it all over my face And I just absolutely have been loving it now the other thing that I've been loving so far from the line but this is their cleansing balm and This is so much like Other cleansing balms that and I love it. I think that it is very comparable It takes off your Waterproof eye makeup if you have you know a lot of makeup on or if you just really need a really good cleanse It takes it all off and I don't feel like it leaves a really thick residue or anything like that I do have a tendency to go in with a double cleanse after this with something that might take a little bit of Residual oils off if there is any left from this But this is fantastic for taking that first layer of makeup off and I am in love with it And speaking of taking off makeup and everything else This is the value size of the Cera V hydrating facial cleanser And I just really have been loving that it has the hydrating factor in it But it doesn't strip your skin completely so you don't feel like your skin's really tight afterwards I don't feel like it leaves a film and I love using this in the morning So I really have been enjoying both of these as cleansers But this one was a great find for me this month and I really am enjoying it a lot And then this one is the Benton fermentation eye cream So I decided to research into the ingredients and it's chock full of ceramides and different things that are so good for your eyes So what I've been doing is I've been using this as almost a treatment serum underneath my suko yaka suhara Urea moisture eye cream. I love that stuff for giving super deeper hydration But I feel like this is a treatment a little bit more and it's not super expensive And I've had this tube for probably six weeks now And I've just really enjoyed how it's playing well with that cream. I use it morning and night I feel like I have had just a tiny bit of reduction so far in my under eye wrinkles And so I'm really enjoying this one a lot and then I also learned about the secret key Starting treatment essence and this has a big word in it. So I have to get my glasses out So I'm see if I can pronounce this or not for you guys Galactomyces Galactomyces. Yeah, galactomyces. I hope that's how you say it So Penny was comparing this to the skin to I guess that's what it is. It's SK dash I I and So it might be to it might be I I anyway So what I wanted to read you was the details of it This is for normal dry combination and oily skin it helps with dullness uneven texture dark spots and pores and it says the bio ingredient derived from yeast fermentation that Resembles your skin natural moisturizing Moisturizing factors and contains over 50 micronutrients like vitamins minerals amino acids organic And conditioned skins natural funk But so Penny was saying that this is a very close dupe to it The active ingredient is exactly the same and she was saying by this not that as a dupe So I really have been enjoying it. I'm glad I found it I wanted to make sure I told you guys about it immediately so that you could get the benefits from it as well So that is it for skincare now I just really did a video on my favorite powders for dry mature skin And so many of you were asking what would I recommend in that video for powder application? Okay, I have two brushes that I absolutely love that are not that expensive And I think that they're just fantastic brushes and this one. I think I put in my last month's favorites This is from elf and yes, it's dirty because I wash my brushes once a week and today was not wash day This is their large powder brush. You can get this at Walmart and I think you can get it at all to two I believe I got mine at Walmart. So I just really enjoy how soft and how fluffy this is I enjoy that putting my powder in there doesn't mean that I'm gonna have a ton of powder on my face I always do tap my brushes like that so that the any excess powder does get off of them And then I just go ahead and I buff it in my face now I use this one specifically for my finishing powders and I use the Sonia Kashuk And I will again, this is a large powder brush Make sure I link everything below and I'll make sure that I throw up in a little ticker right here How much these are but this brush? I Absolutely love for setting powder and the reason is because it's a little bit more dance and If I need a little bit more powder, you know, it puts it on instead of just being really a light dusting They both do a great job Just one puts a little bit less powder on than the other if that makes sense to you guys really really soft Really beautiful brushes and I haven't had any problems with washing them or anything Haven't lost any hairs out of them and I've had them both for about About six months now, so I'm really enjoying both of those and those are what I would recommend to put powder on with Now in my other video where I was doing my palette declutter I had the Rach loves palette from Pixie Beauty and it hadn't even come out of the box yet And so many of you are like, oh, you're gonna love it Well, look at mine. It is a little bit broken right here and this one came kind of shattered But you guys I've been so loving this and I'm so glad that so many of you said oh Melissa Don't declutter that make sure you use it because wow these are so soft And they are so nice and buttery and they make the most beautiful wash of just glass across your skin They don't show texture. They just so shine and it is so pretty and I have been loving them now I prefer the icy color, but a lot of people prefer the little more golden I think that they are both absolutely gorgeous and I've been using both of them in the inner corners of my eyes But all three of these colors down here as well This one is more like a champagne and then a lavender and then this one is like a bronzy color And all three have those beautiful Qualities of just being just so brightening and so pretty if you have solanness in that inner corner You can take that lavender one and put it in there really lightly as a dusting and it brightens that up So nice and so pretty so this is a palette that I'm so glad I didn't declutter and thank you guys all for helping me out with that color pop came out with their Super shock highlighters. So basically it's the super shock formula, but it's in this big huge pan Now this is the size of the mark Jacobs Omega bronzers you guys remember that that's how big this pan is It's huge, but the formula in here. I love love love color pop You guys know that I love the super shock formula when I talk about highlighters most of the time I'm talking about the this formula right here I know that they have several different formulas or not formulas different colors out. This one is your eye catch and Holy Moses people. This is just Incredibly beautiful now you want to talk just glass no sparkle the rates loves didn't either But this has like a property of almost being a creamy product, which I absolutely love It comes with a you guys can see how dirty that is that's because the super shock formula is like a cream product So you make sure you put that over top of there each time Don't lose that it really is going to help that not dry out too quickly And I will just show you just a tiny bit extra on this because I love this I think it's so pretty and I think it's one that they're going to have a big hit with I just think this is so Beautiful you guys. I think it's just one of those ones that that can be worn by so many different skin tones And I just I think it's gorgeous. So when I first saw these coming out I was like, I don't know another highlighter, you know But then I heard that it was the super shock formula and I had to try it But I'm so glad I did like I need another highlighter, right? But this is really really pretty and I think you guys will really enjoy it Then I have these products that I've fallen in love with from color pop, okay I'm gonna start with the concealer. This is their pretty fresh concealer and I Think this is a really good one. The other one was a little bit too drying for me. This one isn't so much drying I will tell you that I'm kind of stuck on a little bit of a different Concealer train right now, but this one when I did try it I did find that it was really nice and it's super good for spot concealing too I loved the colors on it because you can choose between all different cool warm all kinds of stuff And it just had a really good color for me as far as my coloring goes and it lasted throughout the day It's stuck around. It did a really good job. So I really have been enjoying this I would say that this is just a step above as far as coverage and lasting power The Maybelline Adriwine. So if you love that, but you've been looking for a little bit more Coverage wise then I think you might really like this one and I thought it was a great one coconut beach This is one of their pressed Bronzers and I love this you guys. It's such a good color for me lighter It's a lot lighter now I do have the other one and I don't mind it at all and I think I'm gonna love it in the winter But this one it just gives me just a great glow. I am wearing and by the way most of these products I can't obviously wear all the highlighters, but most of these products that I'm showing you today I am wearing on my face just so you guys know so I do have this bronzer on today And I think it's absolutely gorgeous and I love the texture. I love how easily it blends out But I love that about color pops formula anyway I love how blendable and nicely they last on your face through the day And then I got two blushes and I think I showed you this one This one is from Kathleen lights and color pop and this is I need space and this is the most gorgeous It almost looks like a bronzer doesn't it? This is just the most gorgeous nude blush And this is just gives you a wash of Pinky peach that just makes you just look like you have flush cheeks It doesn't make you look like you have blush on doesn't make you look like you have You know more of a pink blush or more of a warm orange blush on peach blush on you just have this Beautiful beautiful color on your on your face that just really lights up any eye looks So if I'm in doubt I can reach for this one and I have been loving it And the other blush that I picked up this month is called to the tan and this one I love to because it has that same Property of not being too warm too cool It's just in a neutral sweet spot and it is I should say it's a little bit more pink So I think that one is probably more along the lines of a rosy tone Whereas this one right here from the Kathleen lights one is just a very neutral color very Nude color that you can wear with anything this one I like because this is more along the lines of my leaning towards cool undertone But I think this one would go really great on anybody Anybody skin tone and can you see how both of these could be built up to be good for anybody? So love that and this one. I like you a lot. You guys have probably seen this all over everywhere I know I have but I really have been enjoying the purples in here and how soft these colors are You can go in here and get one and done look and today I actually have on this color all across my lid and I just paired it with the soft and sultry palette from Milani and I just really like it. So here the colors right here for you guys And I just think that if no matter what skin tone you are you really could incorporate this into gorgeous looks And especially if you're medium to light skin tone This is gonna work so good for you Because you can get in here and you can do a look without having to reach for another palette if you wanted to So you had the the whole entire thing as purple, but the colors in here. I mean look at this color right here It's actually this color right here and it almost Shifts in a dual chrome fashion and I have never really even seen a mat do that before and it does And I just like it a lot You can completely shear that out so that it's just you know a really light wash of color and you can do that with any Of these but I love every single time I come to this palette and I open it And I either do a look with it or I use one of the colors as just a pop of color on my lid And then maybe you know a little bit down below I've been really enjoying it now. I do love their other one the purple one that it's my pleasure But this one Kind of stealing my heart right now, and I'm really enjoying using it. All right, so sharing with you a Foundation that I'm really enjoying this is physicians formula organic where silk foundation elixir with jojoba oil I would say that this is a medium buildable coverage I do not like their delivery system on here because it seems to just be a mess all the time And that's I'm not crazy about but I do like the product inside and I like how long this lasts on my skin I like that it is a lighter sheer formula that just makes me look like I have skin instead of making me look like I have makeup on and I really have been enjoying it now I will just use like everyday use I'll just put one coat on and then if I have you know dark spots on my age spots or whatever I'll use just a dotted concealer and then put that on and it just it's gorgeous And then when I did my top 10 favorite drugstore foundations you guys so many of you recommended the number seven lift and illuminate Triple action serum foundation. You're right. Why should I ever doubt you guys? You're always right I love this foundation. It is so pretty on the skin. It just perfects my skin like no other I love this stuff. I love that I found a perfect color This is one that leans very cool and of course I will list that for you guys. It does lean very cool on my skin I do have it on today. It just made Such a gorgeous canvas on my skin and it lasts and lasts but I do love the formula of this I love how pretty it is and how it does make your skin look like skin But it's really perfected and thank you so much for telling me about this because I'm really loving it Okay, so I went a little bit ham this month on the lipstick train for Maybelline What I did was I got on Amazon and Sabrina she had talked about some of her loves of lipsticks And I couldn't find them anywhere except for on Amazon and so I got some of them and you guys they're so pretty There's new colors that have come out in the pinks. I actually think there's new colors across the board for Maybelline But there was a couple of colors that were discontinued that I was like I need to try that So the first color that I really wanted to try is Magnificent mauve and you guys know if it says mauve in the thing in the description I am gonna absolutely be just jumping all over that now most of these are cream So you guys know I like a cream lipstick because I like a little bit more of a moisturizing look to my lips So I'll put a coat on blot and then put another coat on and it's a little bit more long lasting It's got a little bit more of that mauve tone to it, and I love it. This one is called nude lust This is one that pairs so well with just about any Lip liner that you put on and it's just got a really gorgeous Just easy way to go either cool or warm or neutral And then you know pair it with a lip liner and it just looks really stunning with it That one is a little bit even creamier than the last one. This one is one of their new ones This is called born with it. This is what I have on today And I am loving this one because this is like my lips, but better color and I just think it's just a gorgeous color It's not one that is so Pink that it makes me look like I've got super pink lips But at the same time it gives a really beautiful flush on the on the lips instead of just having you know Too much nude and then this one right here is called romantic rose Really love this one too a lot along the lines of this one only more vibrant So this is born with it and then this one is romantic rose and the romantic rose I like wearing paired with just a little bit of a berry Lip liner and it looks so pretty and then the last one I have is called rosy pink and this one and the last two I believe both of those were new rosy pink is is Classified as a matte, but you know what you guys I never find that too many of these are mattes like a super matte formula or anything This just has a lot of pigment in it and this one is very Neutral so this is like a nude pink color and I just you know medium nude pink color I should say and I just think it's really pretty I loved picking up these because I love Maybelline's formula and I love having so many options And they were just some absolutely gorgeous ones So I'm so glad that I got all of those this month and they don't cost that much So you know you buy five of these and you're spending less than you do on a luxury lipstick So I don't feel so bad about that.
