Beauty Favorites 2017 ~ January

Ok I know its like the middle of February already, but here are my January Favorites :) Last year I kinda skipped these type of posts. I might posted once or twice .. shame on me right. I personally like reading monthly favorites. This year one of my blogging goals is to post them every month. 

So with that said let me show you my January Favorites. 

Wet N wild Photofocus foundation ~ new addition to wet n wild family. I was not really looking for this foundation I kinda stumbled on it while looking for Kandee Polishes LOL. There was not many colors left. I picked two. Shell Ivory is better match then Beige one.  I came to really like it. It have a cool applicator. I like to blend with damp sponge. I tried with brushes but it leaves my skin looking dry and cakey. I know people complain about the smell but personally it don't bother me. It gives a nice coverage. And its really cheap too! Next I want to grab concealers and faced powders :) 

Milani Cosmetics Make It Last Makeup Spray ~ this makeup spray is amazing! It have a great spray nozzle that spays fine mist directly on the face and not anywhere else. It did eliminated the powder look on my face! big plus for that! Although it didn't last 16h as it claims it did last around 9h for me , which is not bad :) Right now this is my go to setting and priming spray :) 

Now let me tell you about my two favorites that I can not live without. 

Art Deco Eye Shadow Base  and Clarins Supra-Volume Mascara. Holy Crap! both products are just simply amazing. ArtDeco eye-shadow base keep my eye-shadow on my lid the whole day. I mean it no creasing, no fading. The way I applied them in morning stays put through out the day. It comes in small (5ml) jar and it smells like  a men cologne. Why does it smell like a cologne? I don;t know but I love it! I love the smell! This is great primer if you have an oily lids :) Definitely try it out :) It is not only my favorite, my fellow polish blogger Monika (Candymona) loves it just as much. She told me she is on her 3rd jar! :) 

Now Clarins Supra-Volume Mascara I cant get enough of it. It makes my lashes so beautiful, think and black. It makes them long and makes them look like a fake lashes! I don't wear fake lashes and now I don't need to coz I have Clarins Mascara :) I usually put on 2 to 3 coats :) Its intensely black. The wand is amazing it catches all the lashes and just adds life to them :) The formula is more on a wetter side. Over all this mascara will be purchased as soonest its gone. I think I found my holy grail you guys ! you want super sexy lashes ? Use Supra-Volume you wont regret. 

Now let me show you some eye shadows that i been loving past month :)

ArtDeco  Most Wanted palette NUDE ~  to be honest I thought I will not like this palette. And boy I was wrong. I do like it and I like it a lot. It prefect mix of mattes and shimmers in brown, grey and rose hues. The color complements each other and blends really nice. The shimmer rose shade is my favorite! 

The other shadows I been loving are by MBA Cosmetics. I love their eye shadows.  They are pigmented, soft and they blend like a dream. Silk FX Shadows are my favorite. The ones I been loving last month are :

* Peach Frost ~ shimmery frosty peach

* True Love ~ matte, light nude pink 

* Blue Carrauco ~ shimmery vivid tropical blue 

* Sangria ~ rich and sultry burgundy 

* Turquoise ~ shimmery blue green 

* Honey ~ shimmery golden tan 

The way I like to use them was: blend True love in my crease. Peach frost all over my lid. Smoked out with a bit of Sangria. Honey in my inner corner and either Blue Carrauco or Turquoise on my lower lash line :) 

now for lips I really liked :

* Fairy Girl Rose Goddess Liquid Lipstick ~ when Fairy Girl told me the brands is coming out with liquid lipsticks I was so happy! Their lipsticks are amazing but the liquid ones way better! Out of all my most used one is Rose Goddess, which is a gorgeous mauve rose shade. The formula is amazing, the time wear about 8h. 

* Colourpop Calypso Satin Liquid Lipstick ~ that's it I love satin liquid lipsticks by Colourpop. Pretty  rosy nude shade.. I really like the formula on this one as well.  Mousse type consistency  that  applies opaque in one swipe. It dries to satin finish on the lips and lasted about 8h on me. 

* Jordana Sweet Creme Matte Liquid Lipstick Tiramisu ~ I was not expect them to be so good. Dang Jordana! Tiramisu is one of two Jordana's Sweet Creme Matte lip[sticks I picked up early this year. Unfortunately my display had all reds left and I am nude type of girl :) any who I love this formula and this shade! Tiramisu is beautiful rosy brown with a 90's vibe to it. I love how it look on me. Surprisingly wore so good! It have a mousse texture and opaque in one swipe :) Defiantly need more! even the reds! 

(top Jordana, middle colourpop, bottom Fairy Girl)

And last let me show you my favorite duo that I was wearing on my nails since Christmas. 

London Town nail color in Brill-and and China Glaze in Define Good..

Both look stunning on  the nails and both wear nicely over base and top coat by London Town. 

London Town Brill-ant bold metallic rose shade! OMG this is one of my all time favorite colors! Its simply stunning and well it look amazing paired with China Glaze Define Good which is rich cranberry shimmer shade :) 

So that would be it . My January Favorites :) Do you know any of the products? What did you love in January ?

My Brow Products including Freedom Makeup, IT Cosmetics, Pixi Beauty, Jordana, Catrice and Mirabella

I know I know Brows are so on trend right now and everyone have them on a fleek.  Brows are important, they frame face and they give face expression. I didn't care much for eyebrows years ago. I got into makeup lets say maybe 3-4 years ago and I start paying more attention to my browns 2 years ago. Why so late you ask. Well I didn't like myself with a bold, filled in brows LOL I kinda looked weird. But once I start filling them in everyday I notice that people were telling me that I look great and asked what new did I do? Well brows DUH! 

I have few brow products and I want to show you it and tell you more about it too. Are your ready? 

also let me put it up at front some  products were sent to me and some I purchased myself :)

Let me start with a product that I am simply obsessed and I am grateful I have such a good friend who got this for me. I am talking about Freedom Makeup EverBrow pomade. I have to day huge thank you to Dorota my UK bestie who got this baby for me. I have to admit I was neglecting this product for so long. To be honest I was scared that this would be to bold for me and I would look weird LOL. But I ended up loving it. A lot f people say this is a great dupe for ABH dip brow pomade. I don't own ABH but If they are dupes then well spend your money on Freedom's Everbrow pomade. My browns never looked better. I am not a pro but this pomade is so easy to use and it will make your brows stand up. So far this is my holy grail product. Gel like formula, color payoff is amazing and t will last the whole day without the budge. This little gem is a must have for sure. I have my in shade Blonde which is cooler ashy blonde and matches me and my brows perfectly. To apply I use Sonia Kashuk angled brush and then spoolie.

Second amazing product is IT Cosmetics Brow Power in Universal shade. Retractable pencil, packaged in a twist up tube. One one side we have our pencil shade and on other we have a spoolie. I think that a brow pencils are the best options for beginners. They are so easy to use. The Universal shade is prefect for every one. Apply lighter, softer strokes for light color payoff (blondes), press harder for darker color payoff (medium brown black hair). The oval tip makes it really easy to fill in your brows. One two three and you out the door.

Another pencil that I have in my brow collection is by Pixi Beauty. Their Endless Brow Gel Pen is really nice as well. I did mention this pencil before in a post so I just send you over there, click here.

Now lets move in to powders. I have three in total but I will talk about two because I can't find my Milani one anywhere.
Let's start with Jordana Brow Powder Duo. This one my very first brow product I purchased. I Have my in shade light and it was using the heck out of it for past two years. and guess what I didn't hit pan yet! Small little grey plastic box comes with two shades (one lighter one darker) and a dual ended mini brush. I lost my brush but to be honest it was not that good. Like I said I like my Sonia Kashuk Angled brush for my gel and powder products. This Jordana brow powder was mu go to for a really long time. I only used the darker shade tho. The lighter was too warm and well it didn't match me at all. What I like the most about it is that it is inexpensive and works really good giving a natural looking brows.

My second brow Kit is one from Catrice. I got it recently and I been living it. Probably more then Jordana one. This one comes with two powders as well. I do find them better then Jordana though. I like to mix both together to get the desire color. The kit also comes with a mini tweezers and dual ended mini brush. They are so adorable bit I never found myself using it. Also the packaging on Catrice kt is much more sturdy then on Jordana's. I like both but If I had to choose I would got with Catrice. Both are super affordable.

My last product is also fairly new to me It is by Mirabella Beauty and their Quick Brow. And it is indeed quick. I have my in shade Light/Medium. I kinda eh on the shade i dunno I don;t see myself with it LOL. Or maybe that's just me. Quick Brow is a powder product that comes in a tube. The brush is rounded and wide, with only one swipe voila! your brows are filled. You really don't need anything else/ That's what I love about it. Easy and fast! Just wish for bigger shade range. Overall I love to apply/mix with other brow products :)

How about you ladies? How many brow products do you own and which are your faves?
