my January favorites

I guess the first Tuesday of each month will be my "favorites" post. In these posts I will recall my favorite makeup items I had been loving for the previous month. This month I only have four products which doesn't seem like that many but this will still be a long post because there are pictures for everything. Woo, we all love pictures. Let's get started.

1. First I have my sample of Roses de Chloé. It smells so nice. I wrote about it in a previous post so you can go back and read that if you want more information. I'm sad it's so little and will be gone soon.

more like good smells de Caroline when I wear this

2. Next I loved the Covergirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm (phew that is a mouthful) in the shade Rose Twist. I wore it to my Casino Senior Countdown night and thought it paired so nicely with my smokey eyes. It is a little pinker than a "my lips but better" shade but it is definitely not obnoxiously pinker. The only thing I don't really like is the old lady smell of the product. That is kind of gross. I still want to try more of these!

this picture is a little edited so the color is a little off...oops

3. My next favorite is the Wake Me Up concealer by Rimmel. I watch a lot of British YouTubers and they all love the Wake Me Up foundation. I am super bummed Rimmel hasn't released the foundation over here but I was tickled to see the concealer in Wegman's. It has a creamy consistency and covers the dark inner portion of my eyes nicely. It also has a slight shimmer in it so it is quite brightening as well. I don't think it would be too nice to cover up blemishes. 

So wake me up when the foundation gets to America

4. Last, but not least, my favorite makeup product of January (and probably of all time) was Benefit's They're Real! mascara. Wow!!!! How have I not tried this before? I think I can confidently say that this is the best mascara ever created. It must have unicorn magic or crack in it or something. This stuff does not clump and lengthens like nobody's business. It is a little on the wet side but doesn't smudge or flake or anything. Also, the wand is genius. I love the spiky end. Perfect for those end lashes. A+++++++ Benefit! 

I can't stop fluttering my lashes when I've got this on...people'll start to think I'm trying to flirt with them

There ya have it, folks! My favorite makeup items of the month of January. This is kind of fun. I am excited to see what I like in February. Stay tuned!

Until next time,

Caroline
