The month of January was a month of great hair and minimal makeup. I tried to use as little face makeup as possible, paired with bare eyes (save for some mascara) and a bright pink lip. I played around with my new haircut, trying out some blowouts!
Makeup
- GloMinerals Loose Base (in Natural Light) is what I've been using as my foundation and concealer this past month. It gives a nice, natural coverage and never looks cakey. On my face I use it with a large powder brush, and for concealer I use it with a small eyeshadow brush.
- Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara (in black) was given to me as a sample at Bobbi's Beauty Rules book signing! (I will post about the book & signing soon!) It's a really nice, natural mascara, but it can easily be built up to high lengths and volume.
- Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm & Stain (in Passion) is a pretty, fuchsia lip stain. I love the pop of color it gives to my look and the balm on the other side is really convenient and moisturizing. I've even used it in a tutorial!
- Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss (in Pink Pop) looks beautiful over the lip stain for a higher-intensity pink. Or, it works just as well on its own!
I've been wearing my hair straight, shiny, and swingy all month! I like to blow it out in the mornings with some Chi Silk Infusion and my Revlon Blow dryer. I start by getting my hair mostly dry, then I get a round brush, section off my hair, and start more intricate blow dryer work. Would you be interested in a post on this...?
All for now! Thanks SO much for following and commenting. I appreciate it so much.
Love, Val
Revlon lip gloss is my favorite! I absolutey love how smooth it is.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a post on how you do your hair! Straight, shiny, and swingy seems like a great combination haha. What does the Chi Silk Infusion do?
ReplyDeleteGreat faves, I need to try several of those things :)
ReplyDeleteI so want to try Revlon's Just Bitten Lip Balm & Stain (in Passion). I have never before used a stain, but it sounds fantastic!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like my Pink Pop lipgloss and Revlon's Just Bitten Lip Stains. I have never tried a powder foundation before but really want to give one a try. Ive heard it gives better coverage than liquid.
