January Favorites

"Favorites" posts/videos are discussing the products (and other misc things) you loved for that month. These are posted at the end of the current month or the beginning of the following month. The products can either be purchased that month or (old) "rediscovered" items.

This month I had to repurchase quite a few items that I love and ran out of: Origins Vitazing Moisturizer and MAC Turquatic Perfume, to name a few. I also picked up items that I already owned in other shades.  Instead of me giving a mini review on products you can already find on my blog, I'll just focus on the new products I've been loving for the month of January:

John Frieda Sheer Solution: Lightweight Frizz Control Serum
The reason I''m so obsessed with this is just for the smell.  It smells better than any salon product that has every touched my hair.  (I purchased a few other items from the line, hoping they'd smell similar, only to be disappointed.) It does tame down frizz on damp hair.  But to tame morning bed head, I'm still on the hunt for a miracle product.


Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara
It's a fabulous lengthening mascara, the fibers add quite a few centimeters to the end of my lashes. However, it doesn't do much thickening.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Pink Truffle
A full review can be found here in a previous post.  I picked up quite a few of these butters but two in this shade.  I wear it everyday and apply multiple times, it's replaced my favorite (drying) MAC lipstick.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Top Coat in Crystal Clear
The bottle claims it lasts up to 10 days. (I'm not sure if that's possible - I'm tired of the same color after a week.)  It has made usual manicure of 1-3 days last at least 5-6 days and still look good (no pealing, minimal chipping.)  It's similar to Seche Vite, but better, and a one third of the cost.  I just hope it doesn't thicken and ruin like Seche Vite does when you use half the bottle...
