January Favorites 2014!

It's finally January 31st and oh my gosh, it's actually February tomorrow!!!

(Man, time flies so fast.)

Well, to me, January has been one stressful month and wow, the first chapter of 2014 is now complete!

This saddens me too though, because my high school days are nearing its end.

I'm very thankful to overcome tons of obstacles this month and I want to share my happiness with y'all!

(...by blogging about it. Umm...)

Okay, back to my topic.

JANUARY FAVORITES!!

Let's start off with my favorite January tracks that have officially been stuck in my head the whole month!

Hahaha.

1. Beyonce- XO

I just love listening to this song when I'm outside and just roaming about, it's got a light feel to the tone and it just soothes me for no reason! 

2. Lorde- Team

I've been loving Lorde's songs but this has been, by far the best song I've heard from her. From lyrics to its tone, I just love it!

3. A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera

Oh my gosh. This song just..speaks to me in every way. (whattt)

I've been loving this song so bad that I actually had the habit of always wanting to listen to it atleast once a day. (that's weird, i know) 

This song makes me sad but the lyrics,tone, everything. I love it loads! Haha.

Well, that's all for the favorite music section, haha.

Next off, we've got the favorite series of the month.

Hmm, to be honest, I've been watching loads of series but my most favorite would be:

1. American Horror Story

I am a big fan of creepy/scary series and oh my gosh, AHS has finally creeped me out the most in their recent season which is American Horror Story: Coven. Apparently, their season 3 just ended (which is the coven) and the last episode was just...mindblowing. Tons of plot twists and the storyline all throughout was amazing!

2. How I Met Your Mother 

ROBIN AND BARNEY..Well..I SHIP THEM SO HARD YOU HAVE NO IDEA, HAHAHA (Fangirl moment, sorry.) It hurts me so bad that this is the final season..but I really do hope they change their mind, hahaha. This serie has never failed at giving me mindblowing moments and man, this show is just..legen (wait for it..) dary! Haha!

3. The Carrie Diaries

 CARRIE DIARIES!!! AHHHH. (Wow, I've got a lot of fangirling moments here in this blogpost, hahaa.) This serie has got me falling for Sebastian Kydd and their 70's-90's outfits.

Well..as you noticed, there's no beauty section here in the January favorites is because..I've been using the sames ones that I showed in my blog post, "What I use when I do my makeup".

What I use when I do my makeup!

This blog post is all dedicated to my makeup products that eventually either make me look like a person or a coloring book. (Depends on how I put them, hahaha!)

To start off, I recently bought makeup brushes, let's just say, my previous brushes started wearing out, therefore the result is me buying new ones. Anyways, I haven't used them for certain events yet but I did try them before putting them here in this blog post and they actually turned out to be really good. 

(Reason why I'm stating this is because most brushes turn out applying makeup to one's face really bad, resulting in bad application) 

I've been recently using this Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse as my foundation and it has always been helping my skin and so as the turn out in the end. And as for the little bottle magingy next to it, is also a foundation but also a concealer. (I don't know if this is making sense but that's what's written in the little bottle magingy!)

I'm a sucker for bronzers and blushes but my favorite has always been Red Earth with the shade of Sun Flash. The blush powder, on the other hand, has no name for its shade but let's settle to the basic. It's pink, hahahaha.

I've always been a fan for compact powders, concealers and mascaras and the one's I've been using are Max Factor's Creme Puff which I absolutely adore because it doesn't really show that you have powder on and it looks natural. The shade of the powder is Candle Glow and I highly recommend it for the people with fair skin! For my eyes, since I have a problem with black circles under my eyes(It's a gene thing, got it from my Dad, I suppose.) I always have to wear an under eye concealer just so I won't look like a dead person walking around. And I've been using Max Factor's concealer with the shade of Fair and it really helps my dark circles to somehow disappear. Now, for the mascara that I've been using, it has been Rimmel London's Scandal Eyes. My aunt bought this for me all the way from Italy, so thanks, aunt! Haha! Anyways, if you love compact powders and all the other products in this picture, I recommend you try using them!

Wow, this is actually the longest post I've ever done without it being pictures only. Haha! Anyways, I love lipsticks. Actually, whatever's in this blog post right now, I absolutely adore them all and yeah, I think that's obvious! Hahaha. Okay then, the lipsticks/lipbalms that I've been using either lately or since before are these ones. Starting from left to right, I have the Long Last Lipstick with the shade of High Voltage Pink and this is a kind of lipstick that would look hot when you wear those bad girl outfits. (Umm, what? Haha!) Next, I have a lipstick that I got from Philippines and its by Ever Bilena Cosmetics with the shade of Strawberry cone. The shade of this lipstick is so cute and it also smells so good! (Literally smells like strawberry.) Anyways, next to the strawberry cone lipstick, I have the Constance Carroll with the shade of True Pink. A super girly color, lets just say! Next to that, I have, I believe a drugstore lipstick. It has no brand but its safe and cool too. The shade is dark red but as applied, it gives out a light red thing so if you actually want a dark red, you should try applying more until you get the color you're satisfied with! And lastly, the BabyLips by Maybelline with the shade of Cherry Me. I've been using this because it gives out the color I just need when applying makeup. They're not too red but they aren't that light either. So, if you want a natural red thing going on in your lips, you should try that! :)

This has actually been my longest...post..EVER. Hahaha! This was also supposed to be posted yesterday but I was actually busy yesterday that I didn't have time to do it, haha! 

But better late than never! 

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this beauty related post and I can't wait to write more for you all reading this and actually getting entertained. Haha!

Much love,
