January in Makeup + Favorites

Good afternoon guys! Today I have a round-up of my MOTD’s and Beauty Obsessions for the month of January.  Kind of a long post so let’s grab a coffee and jump right on in.  

Question. Would MOTD’s be better in a weekly post and just include all my favorites in my Month in Pics posts? I feel like this is too much for one post and it makes more sense to have all the favorites together. I’m going to give that a try for February. I think I will just do weekly updates with both types of post together.

Okay, let’s get on with all the MOTD’s for January.

I also posted A Winter Makeup Tutorial in January, you can check it out here: Ghost Song – Winter Makeup Tutorial feat. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance + Kat Von D Metal Matte

Time for some makeup products I have been obsessing over this past month.

Obviously, if you couldn’t tell from my MOTD’s I was in love with the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette. I can’t stop reaching for this one. 

On the lips, I have been loving these Matte Lipsticks from a Columbian Makeup Brand called Glips. I couldn’t find their website so I’ll link you their Instagram here: @glipscosmetics
I have really really really been like this Faux Whites Eyeliner from NYX on the inner water line. It’s super brightening,  eye opening, natural and long wearing.

Next is the NYX Faux Blacks in Oxblood. I need more reasons to use this guy! I love it. Such great quality.

This! The NYX Pro Foundation Mixer is White is such a lifesaver, it allows me to customize the tone of my foundations so I get the perfect match on my pale ass face. It’s light weight, adds no additional coverage or cake to your foundation.

and lastly, for skincare, I have been enjoying the Lumapro-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum from Hydropeptide. I think it’s been helping my skin out and fading my hyperpigmentation.
