 Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video I am going to be doing my January favorites for 2019 is my goal this year that I start doing these monthly Favorites every month something I want to incorporate into my channel My goal is to get them up either the last day of the month or the first day of the new month So I've already failed for the month of January, but I've been gone for like a week. Listen this last week I was sick I had the strangest sickness where it was like a different symptom every day, but it sucked, you know on top of that I've been working. I started taking this class and my boyfriend came to visit me this weekend and it's just been Last week was hard, but I'm back. I'm feeling so much better. Yeah, anyway, so let's just get straight into my favorites by the way, my hair is like nuts. I'm about to go to work and I'm saying feel I do in my hair So I didn't think I would have that many favorites this month because I spent literally the entire first half of the month out Of town away from my house. So I literally for like 16 days I believe I was using the same makeup, which is very hard for me. But yeah, surprisingly I actually, you know, I have a lot of stuff. So first, let's talk about skin care this month My skin became so viciously dry. It was painful Literally my face hurt from being so dry It was so cold outside in Maryland Meaning the heat was on in my house, blowing in my face and it dried the heck out of my face And I managed to save my skin with a combination of sheet masks, of humidifier, and the Charlotte Toeberry Magic Night Cream This is just a small sample size, but this does magic for your skin Literally so this and the humidifier and exfoliation I give complete credit to saving my skin this month because you guys literally go like that and flakes would fall off my skin And it hurt at night. This is very thick I don't necessarily like how it feels on my skin But if you warm it up with your fingers and really spread it out when you wake up your skin feels so much better and so much More soft. This literally cured my skin. It is pretty expensive It's a Charlotte Toeberry skin care product But oh my gosh, if you are suffering from really really dry skin because of the weather humidifiers Exfoliation sheet mask and the Charlotte Toeberry Magic Night Cream My skin is in a really good place now. So thank you to this product So I'm gonna move on to the makeup So the first thing I have is the really good primer that I've been loving this month. This is the NYX Hydra Touch Hydration base. I never really liked any base products from the drugstore as far as primers go Then I discovered this guy that I picked up on I believe it was Cyber Monday and I really like this It's very hydrating on the skin. So when I want something really hydrating I will go for this I like my Smashbox primerizer more but this is still really good and it leaves the skin feeling very tacky So if you have dry skin, this is a really good hydrating primer from the drugstore being on the road for the first two weeks of the month I only used two foundations I was bouncing between the two but this one really stood out to me because of how long wearing it is But it's also not heavy at the same time. This is the Estee Lauder Double Wear I mean, this is such a cult favorite foundation. Everybody loves it. Everybody's heard of it But it is so good. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It provides a medium to full coverage You can build it up and it just looks great all day on your skin no matter the temperature So I mean, this is just such a trusty foundation. It's something that I can always trust I know it's gonna work and I know it's going to look good in all occasions So yes, the Estee Lauder Double Wear was definitely a favorite of mine this month. So this next product I'm very surprised that I'm talking about but I've been loving it for some reason So I've been changing a lot how I've been doing my skin makeup So I've been trying to use a lot less product a lot less powder things like that And I have actually fallen in love with the KKW concealer in the shade number four I would prefer a bit of a deeper shade, but this still works So I don't love this when I put too much of it on one because I hate the color into because that is when Concealers crease a way to get your under eyes to look very natural But awakened is make sure you don't get any foundation on your under eyes Less is more layer as little as possible And I literally just lightly do one stripe under each eye and blend it out And I will put the tiniest tiniest bit of powder Under my eyes to set and I have no creasing with this concealer It looks very natural but provides very nice medium concealer coverage. I don't know what it is I've just been really liking this. I think it looks really great under the eye I didn't love it before because I was applying too much But if you just use the littlest amount I've been really liking this as an everyday concealer and I'm so happy that I brought this back I actually have a brush that I want to talk about with you guys really fast. This is the Sigma f77 it is named as the chisel and trim contour. So as you can see this is a strange shape It's just really straight. This is the best nose contour brush I've ever used my nose is like oddly rounded and so whenever I would try to go in with like a small blender brush or Something to contour. I just could never get it straight on my nose Just because of the way the curves on it were this you literally just stamp it on and you can't go wrong with it So I bought this at Riley Rose, which you guys will see a haul coming up very soon This is the best nose contour brush if you're looking for one This is totally worth the money 100% recommend. So I have two highlighters here to show you guys So this one was my favorite for the two weeks that I was traveling This is the only highlighter that I brought and I hadn't used it for a while and my love for it Was just brought back to life. This is the Milani rose glow highlighter palette Now if you are looking for a beaming highlighter palette from the drugstore This is it This is one of the best highlighters that I've used from the drugstore aside from my favorite wet and wild highlighter I really really love this. It really Creates such a beautiful glow on your skin. I tend to mix these two, but this one isn't too dark for me either I just tend to go for these more goldy champagne colors The sheen that this gives your face is so amazing You want to be mindful of the base that you have underneath because this may not last that long if you put it on top of powder I would recommend not setting your foundation and putting this on top That's when you're going to get the longest wear with that and I mean that's the price you pay for getting drugstore But I mean this is genuinely it's such a good beaming highlighter from the drugstore You get three different shades in one. So if you are searching the drugstore for a good highlighter I've fell in love with this all over again. Also, this is from the Becca Chloe and Malika collaboration This is the Chloe face palette. I have been obsessed with the highlighter in this palette It is just so smooth on your skin. It really blends in with your skin It doesn't look like you're putting it on top of your skin still in this palette Just a quick update while I'm at it. I still don't really like the blushes. The bronzer is very good It's just a kind of a typical bronzer, but I am obsessed with this highlighter I mean, I don't think you need to buy the entire palette just for the highlighter But if you do have this palette or you think you're going to like the other colors in it The highlighter in here is the best part. I just can't get over how smooth it looks on your skin It just blends in and looks like your skin is glowing I'm actually very surprised that I'm mentioning this, but oh my goodness. I love it so much for the eyes I've been using the milk makeup long wear gel eyeliner in the shade BCC I bought this on a recommendation of Mel Thompson. She loves this. It's just a nude eyeliner pencil For the longest time I've just been using this Sephora random one that I love and I still love But I did want to give this a try and it really is long wearing and I just really enjoy it I wish it was a little bit more soft and pigmented because I do have to kind of layer to get the Pigmentation on my waterline, but I mean I think that's what also makes it last longer on your waterline as well so I've really been enjoying this and Definitely going to stay in my collection for a long long time moving on to lips I have two different lip combinations for you guys that I've been loving the first one I want to talk about is the one that I'm wearing right now I discovered this actually like this weekend, but it is that good that I am putting it in this video So I start off with the Kylie lip liner and expose now This isn't my favorite formula of lip liner just because the actual product flies out of its casing all the time But it is so soft So these lip liners are really good to put all over your lips So I basically use this as a lip color and I put this everywhere It is such a gorgeous orangey peachy nude and then I use the Pat McGrath labs there to bear Lip gloss right on top. This is a match made in heaven It creates just this beautiful peachy nude lip color that oof I wish I would have taken a picture of the look I wore it with it Kind of doesn't really go with my look now because I've been throwing on random things Just playing with makeup today the look I wore with this I was so obsessed with this combination. Also, this combination has been a winner for me This is the Marc Jacobs lip frost and sugar sugar just a really light Pink nude shade. This is a sheer color and it looks really good without a lip liner But I've also been loving putting the bite beauty flat white lip gloss on top So these are a match made in heaven when you have a really dramatic eye makeup look because it almost blanks out your Lips but makes them glossy and juicy and nude and this is such a good lip combo Let me I'll at least swatch them for you guys. So right here is the Marc Jacobs Then here is the by Beauty lip gloss which those two together are gorgeous and they're gorgeous on their own as well I love the flat white to lighten up any lip look when I want it to be glossy And this is great in the center of the lips with like a brown lip liner Just been obsessed with those that is what my favorites are for the month as far as makeup I do have one hair product favorite I'll very rarely have a hair product favorite because I stick to what I always use but I've been loving the not-your-mothers curl tuck curl Activating mousse the not-your-mothers hairline is one of my favorites and it's affordable because I go through hair product like crazy I just can't keep up with spending a lot of money on hair products I'm not wearing it today. That's why my hair is crazy I will say this does make your hair look a little crunchy if you apply too much I'm at a loss because my hair is so frizzy that the only way to control the frizz is to use those products that make my hair Look and feel crunchy. So I almost like that about this if you do apply a little bit It's not going to get crunchy I just like to apply a lot because otherwise my hair is gonna end up frizzy anyways This really defines my curls and it takes away all of the frizz, but there is a price to pay with it I still haven't found the perfect hair curling mousse or gel if you know of a hair gel or a curling Something or rather that gets rid of frizz and defines curls and waves Please let me know like I said I like the not-your-mothers line a lot and what it does to my hair But I haven't found the perfect product. So anyways, that was my favorites for the month of January 2019 I want to know what yours are and I want to know if you guys enjoyed this video So I hope to see you guys in the next video remember to like this video subscribe to my channel and Yeah, I will see you guys in the next video. Bye guys. Have a great day
