It's behind us! The worst month of the year is over, only to come again next year! Our bank balance is suffering, our skin is suffering, and our mealtimes are suffering (due to lack of yummy foods since Christmas), is there anything good about January?
Yes there is! It's the best month to start something new or set some new goals (and of course, try out all the lovely things you received for Christmas). Despite the weather (I live in England, need I say more?) I have been feeling quite motivated this month, I have stared to read more, cut down on sugary things, and try harder with work.
I am surprisingly happy with my January, and I have got a few things to share with you that I have enjoyed during January :)
Clarins daily energizer lotion samples -
The winter weather can be very harsh to our skin and I was on the hunt for a good moisturiser. When buying high-end products that I'm not sure are worth the money, I like to try them first.
The winter weather can be very harsh to our skin and I was on the hunt for a good moisturiser. When buying high-end products that I'm not sure are worth the money, I like to try them first.
I picked up two different moisturiser samples, Benefit total moisture and Clarins daily energizer lotion. I will do a review of them both soon, although I liked them both, I think I preferred the Clarins one. It is a good, light but moisturising lotion that sinks in immediately and is great for in the morning. (I could only find the daily energizer cream £21 and wake-up booster £16.50 but I'm sure they are as good/similar).
No.7 Eyeshadow £7 -
I received this in a No.7 set for christmas that contained four things. I stupidly threw away the packaging so i can't tell you what shade it was but I think it was sheer brown. (you may not be able to tell from the picture) It is a lovely shimmery taupe colour and I think it is quite similar to Mac satin taupe but since I don't own satin taupe I can't be sure. It is a lovely winter colour and is an easy all over the lid colour for everyone.
No.7 Extreme length extend mascara -
This mascara also came with the set I mentioned. In the past I have had No.7 mascaras and not been very impressed by them, but I absolutely love this one. The brush is really good and gets all my lashes, and most importantly it doesn't clump and it makes my lashes look natural.
Estee Lauder Modern muse 30ml £44 -
Scents are extremely difficult to explain as I'm sure you will all agree, so I am not going try to explain it. Just read what the website says it is and if you get a chance, go and sniff it too. I collected this sample when I was getting the moisturiser samples. It is a beautiful, sophisticated scent and reminds me of an old perfume I used to have. I absolutely love it, the bottle is lovely, and the only downside is the price!
KT Tunstall Invisible empire crescent moon album-
I received this CD for christmas from my mum because we are both massive fans of KT Tunstall. This is her latest CD and if I had to pick a favourite song from it, it would have to be Invisible empire. KT Tunstall is my favourite singer/songwriter and please do have a listen to some of her songs as i'm sure you'll like them.
Guylian Chocolates -
Not completely going against what I just said at the beginning of the post, but yes, I have been loving these chocolates during january. The beautiful sea shell shaped chocolates are heavenly, and would make a lovely present, especially as Valentines day is coming up!
That is everything I have enjoyed during January. I hope you enjoyed this post and be sure to leave your january favourites posts in the comments so I can have a read of it!
The one thing that I would like to make better than January is the amount of times I post. I will try hard to post as much as possible, but sadly work can get in the way!
