Hey guys,
January is almost over and February’s on the way which means it’s time for my first ever favorites post. There’s been so much going on in January and I’ve fell in love (and fallen back into love) with so many products.
Beauty
Bioderma Cleansing Water
I have heard so much rave about this product all over the internet and when i found it in a local drugstore I just had to get it. It is very gentle on the skin and leaves a tingling sensation after application. I use it as a cleanser before creams but you can also use it as as a make-up remover. By the amount of dirt it gets of my face, I bet that it’ll do an amazing job as a make-up remover as well.
Essie’s Nail Polish in School of Hard Rocks
This has been one of my all time favorite nail colors and I’ve fallen back in love with it. I got it last winter and had used it religiously throughout and dug it back out again for January. It’s a grayish navy blue color which looks absolutely gorgeous on your nails. Trust me go out and get a bottle you won’t regret it.
Soap & Glory’s Body Butter
I am a huge Soap & Glory fan and this product, just like their others, has not let me down. The cold weather just dries my skin out, especially my legs, and leaves it feeling itchy and scaly. The body butter works like a charm to help soothe the skin with multiple applications. I’ve tried brands like Johnson & Johnson and The Body Shop, but i feel like this just works so much better. Plus it smells of vanilla musk and trust me it’s amazing.
Fashion
Beanies
I have gone a little beanie crazy this month. Beanies are just a great way to cover up a bad hair day. I normally wear them with my hair down or with a side fishtail braid. I got this beanie from Zara and it’s in this gorgeous oxblood/wine red (my fav!). It has a really good grip on it as slouchy beanies tend to slip of my head as i like to wear them real low. I just hate it when they don’t stay on your head throughout the day and you got to constantly put them back on.
Knits + Shirts
I really love layering knits over button down shirts. The extra length from the shirt makes it wearable with tights and it also adds depth to the outfit. I paired a shimmery silver/grey knit from H&M with a denim frayed button down i got at a little boutique. Sometimes you buy one of those loose knit sweaters and realize that it just does not look good with a cami or tank under it, well the shirt is great replacement to it.
Random
Music
I have really weird taste in music which ranges from bubblegum pop to raw indie music. But this January Swedish House Mafia’s save the world has been on replay on my iPod.
Food
Food for Friend’s Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli is to die for. Just top it with your favorite pasta sauce and you’ll be all set for dinner.
