REESE RAVES – January

Here we are the end of the month of January 2014. Say WHAAAT?!
These the products I’ve been reaching for the most this month…

REESE RAVES – January
Naked Cosmetics, Ivory $59.00 (6 shades)
I bought this at IMATS back in 2012 and I rarely used it since. But now I’m adding a bit of color in my everyday makeup look, so spice it up a little bit.
These add that hint of color that make your look really stand out. I add them to the center of my lids and then in the inner corner of my eyes and maybe just a touch on my lower lash line.

Sportsgirl Nail it! Matte nailpolish in ‘Matte Lilac, $7.95 (11mL)
Ever since I discovered the matte nailpolishes from Sportgirl, I’ve been obsessed! This was the nailpolish that started it all and I haven’t looked back, adding more matte nailpolishes as they release new ones.
As for staying power, they’re great, although not the best. I added a clear matte top coat to make sure it lasts even longer.

NYX Wonder Pencil in ‘Dark’, $8.95
This was an impulse purchase and I haven’t looked back. This pencil is amazing at outlining the outside of your lips to it them more definition.
It’s also suitable for the waterline as well, and words great as a spot concealer for tiny blemishes.

Sportsgirl Get Cheeky Cheek & Eye Shimmer in ‘Sherbet’, $9.95
I’ve slowly become a blush fanatic and constantly in search of the perfect blush. Since I hit pan of my Benefit’s Rockateur I’ve been obsessing about finding something similar. Something that’s subtle, that will make my face glow without looking too bright. This is a blush I found has come close to Rockateur at the fraction of the cost.

Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadow in ‘Hysteric’, $12.00 (5g net)
This loose eyeshadow will probably be the first Sugarpill color I run out of first (I’m already halfway through it) because I’m just loving it to death this month. Since the Pantone 2014 color was announced, I’ve been on a mission on finding the perfect ‘Radiant Orchid’, from eyeshadows clothing and nailpolish.
‘Hysteric’ is just the most perfect purple, with flecks of green and pink thrown in to give it a duo chrome metallic finish. It’s one of those colours that you can pack it on to suit you; so you can have it as sheer or as opaque as you want.

Urban Decay NAKED3 palette, $80.00*
OK, I’m fairly certain you’ve all read about how amazing this palette is, and I’m with the majority when I say – it really is worth the hype. There are a few colours that are a little flaky, but they’re something you can work with at least.
