January Favourites 2016!

As we've just reached the end of January, I thought I'd write about 8 things I've been loving this month. I've decided I'm going to do one every month from now on, and you guys can check out and try some of my favourites, and see if they become your favourites too!

      1-     Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks – I have two of theses, one in the shade ‘Nude-ist’ and the other in the shade ‘Grand Cru’ and they're like a liquid lipstick. I've really been loving these this month, especially the nude one, as I wore a lot of red lips in December and wanted to take a step back this month. I can see why they have the word ‘velvet’ in the name, as they feel so luxurious when applying them, and even though they dry matte, they don’t feel drying or go flaky at all! They are slightly more expensive than a normal drug store lipstick would be, but they're definitely worth the money, and I'm definitely going to collect the rest of them!
                                              

      2-     Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette -  I know I've gone on about this in previous posts, and you're probably getting a bit sick of hearing about it, but I just love it so much! I love every single shade, they apply really well, they have hardly any fall out (even the very glittery ones!) and are extremely easy to blend. I don’t own any of the other naked palettes, but I really want to invest in them now that I have this one. They are part of the high end industry, but definitely worth the money if your into doing different eye looks!

                                           

      3-     Blistex Lip Balm – I've had this for a while, but didn't really use it that much. This month I thought I'd give it more of a go, and I can confirm that I absolutely love it! It takes a little getting used to as it has menthol in it and makes your lips feel a little strange, but it really helps dry lips, especially in this cold weather when your lips dry out more. Even if my lips are super dry, I can put this on religiously for a couple of days, and they're back to a looking really healthy, really quickly! What makes this even better you say? Its only £2.30! For a product that works up to this standard, you'd except it to cost at least £5, but it doesn’t even reach that!
                                              

        

      4-     Remington Styles Pearl Wand Curling Iron – I've had this for a number of years now, but never really had the time or effort to curl my hair. But this month I fancied a change. I started getting ready a little earlier than I usually would so I have time to curl my hair, and this was what I used. It heats up really quickly, has different heat preferences, and comes with a little bag and glove to protect both you and the wand. From reviews I've read and my own personal experience, this brand is just as good as GHD, but for a much cheaper price as these cost around £30.

                                         

      5-     Rumours - Fleetwood Mac – This is my favourite Fleetwood Mac album as I love every song on it. I also love some of their other songs, but not the whole albums. This month I listened to the whole album at least 3 times a week, and still do. When I'm doing work, getting ready, just sitting around. Whenever I get the chance, I'll listen to it. If  had to pick a favourite song off the album it would be ‘Dreams’. I don’t really know why, but I just really love it! I use Spotify to listen to it, as well as all my other music. I’d of put Spotify as a proper monthly favourites, but I love it all year round, so it would be in every single one!

                                                    

      6-     Best Fiends Game – This is my favourite game on my phone as the moment. I've had it for ages but kind of stopped playing it for a while. When I watched Velvetgh0st’s video that it was included in a couple of weeks ago, it made me really want to play it again, and now I'm addicted again, and my best friend is too, so we both just sit there seeing who can complete the level first (so sad..haha).
                                               

      7-     Homemade Potato Wedgies – A few weeks ago, I made these for the first time because I was really craving them, and now I constantly want them! I don’t know if its strange to love chunks of potato with a few herbs on, but I cant help it. I don’t really know what else to say except from I recommend you try making some, because they're delicious! By the way, leave the skin on, its way better!

                                           

      8-     This Blog! – Of course, my biggest favourite this month has been doing this blog, even though it takes a while to write the posts and take the images for it, and many people would think that doing it takes a lot of boring work. I agree that it’s a lot of hard work, but I really enjoy it! I feel like it’s a way for me to take a break from my school work, even if its still a little bit like work. I find writing a blog just helps me to relax, and take a break from the stress of the world!
