I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years! John and I went home to Ohio to spend the holidays with our families and it was perfect. I have really missed Ohio winter weather so it was nice to experience the cold (I know I am probably the only person on the planet to say that). However, I am now back in California and back in the routine so I decided it's time to post my December favorites! I hope you enjoy!
1. Kenra 25 Hairspray I love this hairspray! Again, this is a product I learned about from The Small Things Blog. It is a great hairspray that doesn't make your hair feel stiff with still giving you great hold. I started with getting just the travel size and had to get the bigger size.
2. Michelle Phan The Life Palette Day Life I got this as a Christmas gift and I love it. I have used it almost everyday since I got it. I love that there are different looks and they are grouped together. Sometimes it gets overwhelming looking at a ton of colors and trying to decide which would look good with which. I love the way this makeup wears, too. I use an eye primer with it and it really lasts! I have yet to try it without a primer so I don't know how it would wear without a primer making it stay. However, the color is great and so pretty and versatile. I love it.
3. Bare Minerals Get Started Complexion Kit I was never a Bare Minerals girl, but my sister wanted to try this foundation and I was also in need of a new one so I thought why not try it. I had heard great things so I might as well give it a try too. I am so glad I did. I love it! The kit I got comes with foundation, touch up veil, bronzer, luminizer, and concealer. I didn't really think I would use the concealer or the luminizer all that much, but I do! I love them all. I like to use the luminizer right on my upper cheek almost by my eyes for a little extra shimmer. I still use my Physicians Formula BB Cream furst, like a moisturizer and primer, and then the foundation on top of that. Then I use the touch up veil, then the concealer under my eyes, then bronzer and finish with the luminizer. I would definitely recommend these products to anyone!
4. Cailyn Just Mineral Eye Polish (in Orchid) This is a product that came in my December Glam bag from Ipsy and I love it! I think this was my favorite product I got in my December bag (and it was a good bag). It is a really pretty color and it goes on so nicely. It has a nice sponge applicator that makes it easy to apply it to the lid. I was worried it wouldn't stay on and would fall but it doesn't, it stays on really nicely. I also use an eye primer with this so that may contribute to the long wear. I will definitely be buying this in more colors!
5. Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer I have mentioned this product before but I thought it was worth mentioning again. I have used this almost everyday! And surprisingly my travel size has lasted! I love the way it really makes my shadow last all day. It goes on smooth and matches your lid color. If you need a new eye primer, I would definitely recommend this one.
6. L'oreal Visible Lift Color Lift Blush (rose gold) This is another product that I have mentioned before, but again this is such a great product I wanted to mention it again. I use this everyday and love the way it goes on and looks. It gives the perfect amount of color and shimmer without looking like you globbed on paint and glitter to your cheeks. That is not a good look. This is my go to blush!
These were some of my December favorites, I hope you enjoyed reading and maybe even saw something you want to try! Thanks for reading!
