December Favorites!

Hi everyone. I hope that you are all well. Happy Monday! back at school now and things are a bit hectic but I'm going to try and schedule as many posts as I can for you all. I know I did the best of 2012 favorites, but I didn't want to skip the monthly favorites of December.. so here it is!


Balea Young Handcream in Sweet Wonderland - I got this in a swap with my friend Vanessa and I've been absolutely loving it this past month. The scent is amazing, really chocolatey and it isn't greasy on the hands at all! :D 

Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre - I picked this up at IMATS and this is by far my favorite moisturizer yet. It's so lovely, it's thick and moisturizing on the skin but really sinks in quickly and doesn't linger on long, so I can apply makeup almost immediately afterwards. My skin really loves this and it's great for the winter months as I've been experiencing more dry skin than usual. And also.. the boyfriend loves it too, so it's boy approved ;) 

Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo - I picked this up with the $20 off Sephora coupon I had a while back and I love it. I use it once a week as a clarifying shampoo and it does wonders. My hair feels insanely clean after using this! :D 

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - I got this before my trip to mexico and then I went to mexico and came home extremely tanned, so this finally works for my skintone again. I just love this foundation to bits. You only need a teensy bit and it offers medium to full coverage for you. It blends nicely and just leaves a beautiful finish on the skin. The staying power is great too! Lovely, lovely foundation and I've been reaching for it loads in the past month! 

Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer - I love this concealer for blemishes, it's seriously full coverage! It lasts all day on the skin too which is nice! 

Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix - I ran out of my Urban Decay All nighter spray for a bit there and was using this in the mean time. I got this at imats and it's lovely! I apply it after every step of my makeup routine as recommended by makeup artist David Arbid and it really makes my makeup last longer and look wonderfully! I love it!

MAC Lipstick in 'Syrup' - I picked this up because so many people rave about it and honestly, it's amazing. It's a beautiful neutral color with purple hues. I've been wearing it almost every day, it's so lovely and natural looking! :D

well those were my favorites for the month of December. What were your monthly favorites? Link them below or list them! I'd love to know!

  1. Nice favs :D How do you apply the LM foundation? I got a sample of it and it always looks really cakey and dry on my skin :( I even make sure to moisturize very well before using it and still it doesn't seem to sit well on my skin....
