December Favorites!

Yay for my first post of the new year!!

Hello, Everyone!

I was determined to not miss doing my December favorites! I have some things I really wanted to talk to you about! Here's an overview of what I was loving:

This lipstick was also a huge favorite, but it was in my purse when I took this picture. ;)

In my Collective Favorites post, I mentioned I had been loving the Makeup Forever HD foundation in the liquid form, but wanted to try the stick formulation. Wellllll....I picked it up...and I LOVE IT. I'll do a detailed post on it in the future!

My mom gifted me the Laura Geller Baked Blush in Catalina, and I've worn it a ton lately. It is an absolutely beautiful plummy color! It's a smooth formula, and has a nice sheen to it. There's no glitter or sparkle, just a healthy glow. To apply it, my favorite brush has been the Target Up&Up Blush Brush. I love this brush so much, I want to get a couple more! It's great quality, and inexpensive at only $5.99.

When Sephora sent out their Loyalty Rewards, I used my $25 off to pick up the Laura Mercier Blush & Glow Radiant Face Trio because MakeupByTiffanyD always raves about it, and I've been curious about the Matte Radiance Baked Highlighter in 01 for a long time. This palette has the highlighter, Bronze 03, and the Baked Blush Bronze in Ritual. I love everything in this palette. The highlight is stunning, the bronzer warms the face up naturally, and there's enough pink in the blush to help it actually work like a blush. Dani from CoffeeBreakWithDani was so incredibly sweet, and sent me a few things in December; one of which was the Anastasia Beverly Hills #23 brush. I've adored this brush with the Laura Mercier highlighter. Together, they create a beautiful glow!

If you remember from my Collective's post, I mentioned a powder that was giving my Nars Light Reflecting Powder a run for its money. That powder has been the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. This powder does amazing things for my under eyes. I only have the travel size, but I would certainly purchase the full size when it runs out! It never makes my (already dry) skin look or feel dry, or my under eyes look cakey. I absolutely love it.

I back to Mac'd some things last month, and decided on the lipstick in Modesty. It's a Cremesheen formula, which is my favorite. There's no glitter or sparkle, just a moisturizing formula with a hint of shine.

Last for the month, was my Lorac Pro Palette 2. I usually favor warm toned eyeshadows, but lately I've really loved cooler tones! Lorac has one of my absolute favorite eyeshadow formulas; they're smooth and creamy and easy to blend.

I'd love to hear what your favorites have been! Let me know below!

Thanks for stopping by and reading!
