January 2019 Favorites

[Tamara76]

Hey, y'all!  We used to have monthly favorites threads on BT where we could highlight our favorite new or tried and true faves from the month.  I haven't seen these recently, so I thought I'd re-start the tradition!

Here are my faves from January 2019:

Spoiler

1.  Jouer Rose Gold Blush Bouquet:  Absolutely stunning!
2.  Becca Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer:  I've tried samples and they were o.k., but I am so glad I took the plunge on the full-size! 
3.  Live Beautifully Moonstone Lip Glitz:  Up Box sent me this because it was missing from my January box and it is gorgeous!  And has a mirror on the tube!
4.  Ofra Rodeo Drive Highlighter:  Almost on par with ABH Amrezy!!!  I got this i my January Ipsy Glambag Plus, but had actually just purchased from Ulta - so I gave one to my daughter and we're both in love!
5.  First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Barriair Cream:  It is a delight to use!  Thank you again to Sephora for sending this to me!
6.  YAPA Nail Polish in Tamra: It's my name, y'all (minus an "A", but still!) - this was gifted to me by the brand and it is beautiful!
7.  Purely Posh Vanilla Almond Body Butter:  This was in my January Up Box
8.  Ahhh Sugar Sugar Warm Flannel Sugar Slushie:  Amazing Body Scrub!!!!!
9.  Voluspa Rose Petal Ice Cream Macaron Candle from my beautiful friend,   
10.  Herbivore Emerald Deep Moisture Glow Oil:  Thank you again, Sephora! ❤️
11. Herbivore Jasmine Body Oil:  Much needed this winter!
12.  Pixi Rose Glow Mist:  Smells heavenly and provides a lovely pick me up!  Gifted by the brand
13.  Murad Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil:  This was in my January Ipsy Glambag Plus and I am loving it soooooo much!!!
14.  R + Co. High Dive:  This is awesome for smoothing my hair and giving it a little moisture boost!
15.  Dermelect Revitalite Professional Eyelid & Dark Circle Corrector: OMG - This feels soooo good under my eyes - it has a metal applicator and it is soooo rich and luxe!  Gifted by the brand
16.  Panacea Aegis Daily Facial Cleanser:  It smells like roses, deep cleanses and also moisturizes - soooo good!  Also gifted by the brand
17.  California Pure Naturals Dual Action Scrub:  This stuff literally smells like blackberries - the first whiff reminded me of my Strawberry Shortcake dolls when I was little.  It is a creamy exfoliator, so it won't give you a deep exfoliation, but will still give you glowy, smoother skin - Also gifted by the brand 

Please share your January faves, too!  Can't wait to see them!!!!

I can't really think of favorites for this month... I'm kinda all over the place. 😄  One product that was newer and a fav from late last year is the FARMACY - Coconut Gel Sheet Mask - Hydrating. Just feels so nice and relaxing!!!

[Tamara76]

Ohhhh I haven't tried that mask yet - sounds amazing, @veronika23 !!! ❤️

[veronika23]

@Tamara76  I really love it! I wasn't a huge fan of sheet masks but starting to go to the dark side with a few good finds. 😄

@veronika23, I miss the old Farmacy sheet masks but these new ones are nice as well. I think Farmacy sheet masks (the new and old versions) are the type of sheet masks that are well liked by those who like sheet masks as well as those who prefer more traditional rinse-off masks. 🙂

[veronika23]

Yeah I think you are 100% right with that statement... you know me... I didn't like sheet masks all that much... now I like them better and this is definitely a winner. Still need to compare the old with the new. @itsfi 

[RebeccaBT]

@veronika23 I have been wanting to try this. Thanks for the feedback. I will be adding this to my next haul 🙂

Best,
Rebecca

[Tamara76]

I love PMG mini trios, too! ❤️  Thanks for sharing, @SportyGirly125 ! 

[suzyo]

@SportyGirly125  I forgot about the PM lipgloss minis! I've been using and loving them but forgot to mention them. My most used so far is Divine Rose 🙂

[Debbiehappy]

Hi Tamara could you please tell me how a I could get a mystery bag please. I am VIB if that helps I don’t know if that matters. I am in Canada Thanks

[SportyGirly125]

@Debbiehappy Sephora does not sell the Lucky Bag Beautylish did and you cannot get it at the moment since it was sold last month and sold out in a day. You can try again later in December to snag one.

KATE SOMERVILLE - Liquid ExfoliKate® Triple Acid Resurfacing TreatmentI am really loving what this product is doing for my skin! Love it! I finally have an acid treatment I can use more than once a week! And it shows!!! ( Thanks Sephora! )

Anastasia Beverly Hills Smudge-Proof Matte Liquid Lipstick Poetin Insomniac. Beautiful, stunning, gorgeous color! can't get enough of it.

Barefoot Venus Hand Repair in Lavender Smoke. A life hand saver! ( Thank you, friend! 😉 )

NARS - NARSissist Wanted Cheek Palette  So perfect for my fair skin. Loving all the shades. All of them!

I want to say FIRST AID BEAUTY - Ultra Repair BarriAIR Creambut I have love-hate relationship with it. Does that count? 😄

[Tamara76]

Thanks for sharing, @lyravega !  Great choices!  I am also loving the Kate Somerville Liquid Exfolikate!  I adore the FAB Ultra Repair Barriair cream, but I think it is fun to use with the cloud-like texture! ❤️

[michelleaho]

Why do you have a love /hate relationship with the cream? What about it bugs you? I got a sample in a box and I've just tried it but thinking I love it..

[lyravega]

@michelleaho  I love how it instantly calms my skin down, evens out my skin tone, and diminishes dehydration lines around my eyes. That alone is amazing! Love it for all that! But it is super light, and not nearly hydrating enough for my ( dry ) skin. Especially not now, during the winter. It makes my skin tight and uncomfy. I have to mix and layer with other products. Which is not all that bad, but even that doesn't quite work. Maybe it'll be better come warmer weather. ( I am looking for way more hydrating moisturizer right now. ) It's also mattifying, which I, as someone with dry skin, don't appreciate. I also hate that it is in a jar, especially with that delicate texture that seems to be disappearing into a thin air when exposed to air.

@lyravega I love the Anastasia Beverly Hills Smudge-Proof Matte Liquid Lipstick Poet That color is amazing! Thanks for sharing your favs! 

Best,
Rebecca
