January Favorites 2016





As mentioned in my previous blog post, this is one of the new releases that Catrice are bringing out this year. While at first I was not sure, if the shade will suit my skin tone, I quickly realised I was reaching for it every single day. I love the convenience of a blush and highlighter in the same palette and the way they give my face a lovely natural flush. There is an in-depth review already on the blog where you can read more about it.



When Petra from Adjusting Beauty posted a photo of these brushes on her Instagram, I was so excited to buy these. I immediately ordered the whole set here. They are so lovely, but the one I was reaching for the most is the loose powder brush. It is a big brush, but not very densely packed, which makes it perfect for bronzing the face. It picks up just enough of product and makes it easy to give the face a lovely sun-kissed look.



Another brush from the same set is the slightly tapered blush brush. Much smaller but more densely packed, it is perfect for applying blush on the cheeks. It makes it easy to apply and blend the blush to make it look very pretty and natural.

Jessup Tapered Highlighter Brush


The moment I set my eyes on this brush, I knew it would be absolutely perfect for highlight. It is just big enough, but soft and very densely packed, so that it picks up enough product and dispensed it perfectly on the top of the cheeks. If only this one also came with the pretty metallic, handle like the previous two.

L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Base


Even though I got this one quite a long time ago, it was only now, when my skin was acting up because of the winter, that I started using it every single day. It is a very unusual consistency and it took me quite a while to get used to, but it keeps my face matte and helps my foundation to last much longer.

Rimmel Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer & Highlighter


This one is a piece of makeup that I keep re-purchasing (and keep forgetting to mention it on my blog). It's a perfect under the eye concealer, it hides dark circles and gives the face such a gorgeous highlight. The brush applicator makes applying very easy and with this one, a little product goes a long way.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Lipstick in 45


While I was re-ordering some of my Rimmel staples from Salma.si, this one kind of crept into my basket and soon found it's way into my everyday makeup bag. It's such an easy, on-the-go nude lipstick, perfect to throw in your pocket or a handbag and can easily be applied without the mirror. The shade is a very neutral nude, barely noticeable but it gives the lips that something extra that you want for everyday makeup. It's really moisturising and feels soft on the lips, and even though it's not the most long-lasting, I don't mind as it is so easy to re-apply.

Eucerin AQUAporin Active


This cream was sent to me at the end of last year, and I admit, at first I was sure I wouldn’t be able to use it. However, after my skin started getting really dry due to the cold winter air, this came in to the rescue. It feels quite rich, but applies smoothly and sinks easily into the skin. I use it every night and wake up in the morning with a fresh, and moisturized happy skin.

Avon Care Cocoa Butter Rich Cream



Quite a while ago, I was also sent a big package of Avon Care Cocoa Butter range. Besides the fact that the scent is absolutely delicious, the product are really lovely and feel amazing on the skin. However, of all the products, I tend to reach the most fort his cream. It's feels rich, but the texture reminds me of a pudding and it makes applying it such a dream. My skin seems to drink this up, and has never been so soft. This completely changed my attitude towards moisturizing my body, as I am now looking forward to doing it every single night.

White ceramic bunnies


When I found these in Tedi, there was no question; I simply had to bring them home. They are so cute and will help me transition my room decor from winter to spring. I keep wanting to go back to get some more…

So here they are, the first favourites of this year. I think there might be some staples in here that will stay with me through the whole year.

What were your favourites this year?

  3. Jaz tudi uporabljam powder brush za bronzer. Ravno super velikosti je. Jessup mi izgleda zanimivo, zelo podobna oblika mojemu Zoeva Highlight čopiču. Je mehek? Mislim, če primerjaš z temi metalik iz Ebaya? Joj ti zajčki so res luškani. Jaz sem jih že tudi gledala :).
