January 2012 Favourites!

Hey guys! Today I will be doing my January favourites of 2012! Sorry this post is a little late I've been a little busy! Anyway lets begin...

The first product is this MUA (Makeup Academy) lipstick in shade 16. You can get this lipstick either from Superdrug stores or on MUA's website!

This lipstick retails for a mere £1! Amazing! Your getting 3.8g of decent product, which is amazing for £1. But as it is only a pound, the quality/pigmentation won't be to the standards of something like MAC. But, for a pound you can't really complain.

This colour is a very nice coral with some red undertones in it. It is quite sheer once applied onto the lip but it is very moisturising and you don't need to place lipbalm before applying this! Overall a great product. 

Next is this eyeshadow by No7. I got this in a gift set around Christmas time so I'm unsure how much this cost or if you can still get it sorry. 

This eyeshadow is in the shade '69 Starry Lights'. 

This eyeshadow is very pigmented! One swipe with your brush/finger into the shadow gives you a nice full colour. This eyeshadow can be used as a highlighter, base or just a simple all over the lid look. Its a creamy/shimmery colour with some sparkles in but nothing too noticeable. 

Now moving onto foundation. My favourite foundation this month is Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse. Mine is in the shade '010 Ivory'. This retails for £7.69 from Boots. 

I really like this foundation, It doesn't give full coverage but a good medium amount. It blends really easily by just using your finger too. If you pile to much of it on it can feel really cakey on your skin. A bad thing about this foundation it picks up dry skin very easily. So if you have try skin try and stay clear of this as it just makes it more noticeable! 

The penultimate product for my January favourites is Natural Collection's Lash curl mascara. Mine is in the shade 'Black'. This product retails for £1.99 from Boots!

This mascara gives a good job of giving nice defined lashes, also it doesn't create a lot of clumps which is good! You do need to apply quite a lot though to get a really dramatic effect. But as this is only £1.99 you can't expect too much. 

 Well thanks for reading!
