January Favorites

 
One of my current go to products is the Julep Luxe Repair serum.  I received it in a monthly makeup box and have used it almost every night for my under-eyes.  I don't have any dark circles and it has helped with the fine lines.  A+ 
 


 
 
Marlene (aka Makeup Geek) had the greatest tip on her YouTube a few weeks ago, and I decided that I'd try it.  Jacklyn has me hooked on gel eyeliners, so these two tips combined have given me THE MOST AMAZING winged and cat-eye looks.  I've been using an ELF liner brush (shown) with the gel liner.  (**Tip with the tape is you place it on your under eye area where you want the wing or cat eyes to be and follow the straight line**)




 These $8 nails have been saving my nail-beds and my pocketbook at the same time.  I can usually get two sets our of each package.  There are so many different designs, that it's hard to choose which one to go with.  I usually end up getting three, then decide later which one to put on.  The glue adheres the nails well, and I haven't had too many accidents of popping off or lifting.  (the pocket glue is great for touch-ups)  I've found they last me about a week.

 
 
My go to eye shadow palette for January was Too Faced The Return of Sexy.  I've had this palette for some time, but the shimmery colors go so well together in creating a purply eye with gold tones, or a smokey gray eye with purple highlights.  I just love this versatile palette.
 
 
I do have some honorable mentions: 
 
Victoria Secret Dream Angel KISS body spray - love it!!
Este Lauder Lash Primer Plus - a must have for those of us with scant eyelashes!!
Makeup Geek Lipstick in Shy - my favorite nude lipstick right now!!
 
With "Use It Up February" I'm digging out some oldies but goodies, and can't wait to share them next month!!!
 
Have a beautiful day!!
Becky
