January 2016 / Recent Favourites

Hello! So, I am super late on the whole January favourites. I mean where did half of February go? It has been a pretty busy month and a half for sure. Starting 2016 off with a bang. I've been trying out some new products as well and falling back in love with some old faves. And here they are...

• BH Cosmetics x Carli Bybel Palette - OMG! So gorgeous and the highlighters are on point!
• Milani Baked Blush in Rose d'Oro
• Nivea Men After Shave Balm (for Primer)- NikkieTutorials made me do it and I love love love it... even the slight man sent which eventually goes away ;)
• UD Naked Skin Foundation
• Loreal Voluminous Mascara - Oldie but a goodie!
• YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis in #7
• Revlon Matte HD Lipcolor in Devotion
• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - for brightening up the face
• ABH Brow Wiz - took this on vacation and love it!

And that concludes my extremely late January favourites. What have you guys been loving recently and is anyone else a bit overwhelmed with all the new products coming out? LOL

Influenster VoxBox #HairExpertise

I received this VoxBox from Influenster in the mail last week with a couple of Loreal products to try out. This was my first Influenster VoxBox as I had just joined back in early January. So far my experience has been quite positive. 

I have actually never tried any Loreal shampoo or conditioner products so I was quite excited about these. My hair is coloured and pretty damaged from the colouring, so I have been looking for a product to really help with bring back some vibrancy. I've used these products a few times now and so far so good. My hair does seem softer and a little shine has come back. I will continue to use these and see if it continues to help my colour damaged hair.

Let me know if you would like to see an update on my experience.

Disclaimer: these products were sent to me for review but the opinions on this blog are entirely my own.

Sephora Wishlist

I've been browsing through the Sephora site and putting things in my "Loves" list. Here are a few items that I have my eye on but haven't made the jump to purchase. I'm on a Sephora No Buy at the moment lol.

• Cover FX Custom Cover Drops - for mixing in with my moisturizer
• Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette - how cute is the packaging?
• Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow & Arrow - this has been sold out for the longest time and I can never find it in stores. Gorgeous colour!
• Sephora Collection Radiant Luminizing Drops - I want to wear this under a powder highlighter or mixed in with my foundation.

What items have been in your wishlist lately and have you purchased any of the above? If so, let me know what you think about them! (Above Images from Sephora.com)

• ABH Self Made Palette (Love this!)
• Bite Beauty Lip Duo
• MUFE 15 Artist Shadow Palette
• Becca Mini Opal Set
• Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal

• First Aid Beauty All Star Hydration set
• Sephora Mask
• MUFE Ultra HD Foundation Stick
• UD Matte Revolution Lipstick in Bad Blood
• Tarte Blush Palette from their Holidaze Collection (bought this one before the sale started)
  

And that is my collective haul from Sephora from the past month and a bit. Would love to hear what you have purchased recently and for any recommendations! Let me know through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram! @LuvabellCouture or comment below!
