January 2019 Beauty Favourites!

Hey beaut's!

It's the first monthly favourites of the year and my god it's felt like it's taken forever to get here, January just seems to go on and on doesn't it! This month I don't have a huge selection of favourites mainly because I've been obsessed with a select few products starting with my true love....my Huda Beauty New Nude Palette! My boyfriend bought me this palette for Christmas and I can honestly say I've not put any other eyeshadow on my eyeballs since! Not only are the shades absolutely stunning and totally drool worthy but the quality of this palette has me shook...I've never known matte shades to be so intensely pigmented, their not at all chalky but buttery soft, theres minimal fall out in the pan and none of my face at all and they blend so beautifully without any patchiness, not to mention those stunning reflective shades, arhh I just cant cope! 

I've really been enjoying using my Magnitone Blend Up Makeup Brush for the last couple of months, I was always a beauty blender kinda gal but those day's have gone since I starting using this brush! I use the Blend Up to apply ALL of my base makeup everyday and I cant tell you how much time it saves me, it's so quick and easy to use and my skin is left looking airbrushed, I honestly cant recommend it enough! For nails I've literally only been using one nail polish - Barry M's Hi Shine Nail Paint in Rhubarb, I must have re-painted my nails like ten times with this shade over the past month or so, it's gorg!

For lips this month I've used nothing but the Benefit They're Real! Double The Lip in the shade Lusty Rose, this is a lipstick and a lip liner in one so it's so quick and easy to use and the shade is so perfect for everyday, I definitely want to get a few more shades of these as their so convenient! My final favourite this month is my Maybelline Total Temptation Brow Definer Pencil which I actually finished a couple of day's ago and I need to go and repurchase it asap! It's probably the best brow pencil I've found so far on the high street and ticks all the boxes for me in terms of what I look for in a brow pencil, I love it!

What's in your favourites this month beaut's? I'd love to know!

Huda Beauty New Nude Palette Review

 Hey beaut's!

When the Huda Beauty New Nude Palette was released last year I instantly fell in love and just knew that the palette had to be mine, I jotted it down on my Christmas list and lucky for me my boyfriend Mike treated me to it and I'm so thankful because just look how stunning it is! I literally had no idea what to expect from Huda Beauty as I'd never tried anything from the brand before, but spoiler alert.....the quality of these eye shadows is frickin' AMAZING!

The Huda Beauty New Nude Eyeshadow Palette isn't your typical 'nude' palette filled with the usual warm tones, instead this new take on a nude palette contains a mix of  blush, mauve, taupe and beige neutrals, mingled with show-stopping copper, gold and pink glitter jewels, it's honestly a stunning combination of shades which I'm totally living for! Theres 18 shades in total within the palette, theres ten matte shades formulated with aloe vera and coconut oil for a butter-like application, four reflective duo-chromes, two glitter formula's which are infused with innovative silicone's for advanced adherence, one pressed pearl combined with acacia, jojoba and sunflower wax for a high-shimmer finish that layers effortlessly on top of mattes and finally a cream formula concealing shade to create a flawless base that will also boost any shadow applied on top of it. 

Not only are the shades within this palette jaw-dropping but the formula is literally incredible, when I saw that this palette was a hefty £56.00 I was quite shocked because that's quite a lot of dosh, but after trying these shades I can honestly say you really do get what you pay for in terms of the quality! I have honestly never used matte shades that are so good in my life and I'll admit it I am an eyeshadow snob and only really use high end palettes but the mattes within the New Nude Palette trump my Urban Decay and Too Faced palettes by a mile. The mattes are so intensely pigmented, their not at all chalky but buttery soft, theres minimal fall out in the pan and none of my face at all, they blend so beautifully without any patchiness and they last on my oily eyelids like no other eyeshadow I've tried before.

The absolute show stoppers for me within this palette are those four reflective shades and the one pressed pearl, these are best applied with a damp brush or your finger and look incredible on the eyelids, they sparkle and twinkle so much I've honestly never worn anything so beautiful on my eyes before! I'd say the two pressed glitter shades are the hardest shades for me to use only because they are pure glitter when swatched or picked up on a brush so they take a little patience to apply but again when their on the shine and sparkly in insane! The concealing shade is a very thick cream formula which does work well as a base for the glitters and the reflective shades, however I can see it getting quite grubby as my palette gets more use as the powders will get stuck within it but other than that I actually really like the addition of the concealer shade!

If your wanting to try Huda Beauty for the first time then I recommend this palette 100%, it literally ticks all the boxes for me and then some, and it's quickly become my all time favourite makeup product as well,  I know that's a bold statement but I'm actually in frickin' love!
