The reason being that I spent the biggest part of this month in my room finishing school assignments and studying for exams. So I have to warn you about January's favourites: not very exciting in the beauty department!
Beauty favourites: dry shampoo, minimal makeup, skincare, and a rediscovered perfume
Exams = dry shampoo, or is that just me? The brand I'm currently using is not that special, it just does the job.
Studying for exams also means minimal makeup. I think I didn't wear makeup for at least half of January and if I did, it wasn't that much. My basic makeup look consists of: Rimmel BB cream, Catrice concealer, MAC eyebrow pencil, Marc Jacobs mascara, (tinted) lipbalm and maybe some Sleek contour and blush.
My skin wasn't at its best at the beginning of January, so I upped my skincare game. I focussed on keeping my skin clear and hydrated throughout the month. My go to products are: Kiehls Ultra Facial Cleanser, Bioderma, Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Riche, Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment, Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight mask and Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot spot treatment.
My last favourite is a rediscovery. Instead of buying a new perfume, I thought it would make more sense to use what I already have. The first one I grabbed was Givenchy's Ange ou Démon and I didn't use anything else! It is floral and feminine, a little heavier but not too much.
Health favourites: New Year's detox and smoothies
Like my skin, my body wasn't at its best after the holidays. I felt and looked bloated more than anything else! So I decided that is was time for a little New Year's detox: nothing too crazy, just more fruit, veggies and less processed foods.
My favourite way to incoporate all of this easily into my diet, is by making smoothies. I just throw some fruit into a blender, add liquid and maybe some green veggies and superfoods.
Technology favourites: Spotify and Netflix
I know I am so late with this, but I finaly discovered Spotify this past month! I downloaded the app on my phone and have been using it ever since. I especially love the playlists for different moods and occasions! However, I'm not sure about upgrading to the paid premium version yet.
Something else I have been loving, is Netflix! I have been subscribed since it was launched in Belgium a few months ago. I just hope they keep expanding their service!
What were your favourites this month?
