There have been some new discoveries and the re-occurrence of some long time favourites during the month of January. Want to know what I was loving last month?
1.
MOR Marshmallow Perfume - Unavailable for what seemed like the longest time whilst it went through a bottle re-design I had to make do with my purse size rollerball until I managed to finally get my hands on the full size bottle in the
La Dolce Vita gift set on sale at Myer in the post Christmas Sales. I've been using this religiously since then.
2.
Real Techniques Brushes - I purchased these through
iHerb late last year and have been a devotee ever since. I love the quality of these brushes along with the result they give. I'll definitely be adding more of these to my collection in the near future. If you want to get your hands on some for yourself I do suggest buying these off iHerb as they are a lot cheaper than they are at Priceline.
3.
Revlon Colorstay Foundation - After hearing great reviews about this foundation I decided to give it a go for myself when Chemist Warehouse was having 50% off Revlon recently. This would have to be one of the best if not THE best foundation I have ever tried. It literally lasts all day on my skin which for someone who doesn't touch up throughout the day it is a miracle! I purchased the shade Buff which is a perfect match for my skintone.
1.
Crown Brush 10 Colour Blush Palette - Purchased last year at IMATS I have been loving experimenting with different blush colours throughout January. I've been switching it up between my using HG Blush, NARS Orgasm and this palette. As they say "Change is as good as a holiday"
2.
Revlon Lip Butters - late to jump onto the lip butter bandwagon I am now fully converted. I was put off by the cost of these here in Australia so never wanted to part with my cash but once I saw Priceline had 'Buy 1 Get One Free' last year I decided it was time to get my lip butter on! So far I have 3 and want to expand my collection asap as I have my eyes on some of the pink shades...hello Lollipop!
3.
Maybelline Color Tattoo - Tattoo would be the correct word for these little babies! Perfect for all day wear they stay on even in the warmest of conditions and for this reason I love them! I either wear them alone when I'm too lazy or use them as a base for my other eyeshadows - either way they are a winner.

Top - Ice Printed Beach Pants
Bottom - Kmart Harem Pants |
Printed Pants - I'm a lover of printed pants but as most of the styles I saw were of the skin-tight jean variety I just resorted to the fact that I would never be able to
squeeze my fat thighs pull them off (literally). However I can now jump on the trend since I snapped up these babies from Kmart (the black and white pair above) and Tropical Printed Beach Pants from
Ice (above and below). The best thing about these is that they can be dressed up or down and can be teamed with blazers when the weather is less than desirable.
Rachel and Byron Talbott - This month saw my YouTube obsession continue with the discovery of the channels of husband and wife duo , Rachel and Byron Talbott.
Rachel's channel is beauty and fashion related and Byron, who is a chef, has his own
food chanel. If you think all this is hard work they also have a channel which sees them post
daily vlogs of their adventures.
In addition to all this Rachel also has a great blog,
Check in the Mirror, which I am also obsessed with! Go on "Check" it out - see what I did there!
Tell me...what were your January favourites?
Talk about addictive! I love this game although it does annoy me at times because I flat out refuse to pay for points/virtual money/credits etc. when it comes to games on Facebook games and sadly this is one of these. Regardless it is still fun and I'm sure to grow sick of it eventually.
Lisa Vanderpump is one of my favourite housewives from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills so I knew I had to check out her spin-off Vanderpump Rules.
