NARS One Night Stand | LORAC Unzipped Palette | L’Oreal True Match Foundation in w4.5 | YSL Touche Eclat in 5 | NARS Creamy Concealer in Custard | L’Oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black | Anastasia Matte Highlighter [old] | Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie
NARS One Night Stand: Not reaching for Goulou, but Mistinguette (cool-toned baby pink) this time. This month, I’ve been really feeling the whole doll-faced look (probably because all the Spring collections are coming out) on the cheeks for the daytime. It might look a little scary in the pan, but it applies evenly and instantly livens up my complexion for a perfect pop of pink.
LORAC Unzipped Palette: No shock here and you’ve seen this palette pretty often on the blog. A great palette for those who love natural makeup. The shimmery mid-toned brown eyeshadows give enough depth to my eyes without looking overdone.
L’Oreal True Match Foundation in w4.5: Oh my, L’Oreal really amazed me with this foundation. I can never find a foundation at the drugstore that matches my skin, but this one is on point. Not only does it have medium coverage (which I LOVE), but has the right amount of yellow pigment that are usually found in higher end foundations. Oilier skinned girls, you might need to powder or touch up at the end of the day.
YSL Touche Eclat in 5: The peachy undertones help counteract my dark circles, but since this is not a concealer, I use it mainly as a subtle highlighter to disguise those circles.
NARS Creamy Concealer in Custard: A new discovery this month (will go more into detail in another post) and this concealer has blown me away. Too light for me to cover blemishes (although, if it matched my skin perfectly it would be great at concealing spots), so I use this as a highlighter down my nose and under my eyes. Melts into the skin and lasts all day.
L’Oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black: I forgot how much I love this liner. I used this for YEARS and decided to pick one up last week. Applies super black, doesn’t smudge, and the long felt tip applicator makes winged liner a cinch.
Anastasia Matte Highlighter [old]: Work has been so busy lately that sometimes I don’t have the time to tweeze every night. I apply this under my brow bone to disguise those pesky little hairs and it does the trick when I’m trying to mask my laziness.
Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie: You’ve seen this before here. It’s been in my handbag all month and it’s a no brainer when I need some color on my lips.
What products are your January faves?

I absolutely love the L’Oreal True Match foundation, I use it everyday! And wow, I now have my eye on that Nars One Night Stand palette, those colors are so pretty and girly. Can totally see this being used for that doll-faced look, which I also love for spring too! Would love to see you do a make up doll-faced spring look 🙂

I want that Unzipped palette so much but I absolutely cannot validate another palette purchase. It also helps that I would have to travel ages to get my hands on it.

I also love L’Oreal True Match Foundation because it comes in *so* many shades. Hey, we have almost the same name! 🙂 I just stopped by to say hello and introduce you to Dorco. We’re a manufacturer of high quality shaving systems, cartridges and disposable razors for men and women. Chances are you’re paying way too much for razors. Ours cost up to 70% less than leading brands. You don’t have to sacrifice quality to save so much, though. Our razors are crafted with the highest quality blades and lubricating strips containing moisturizing ingredients like aloe and vitamin E to soothe and hydrate even the most sensitive skin. Read what others think about our products and our prices at DorcoUSA.com. Thanks for hearing us out, and for sharing your lovely January favorites with us!

I love L’Oreal foundation! It’s amazing – feels like your wearing hardly anything on your face if that makes sense?! As some drugstore foundations can be really thick! I have had my eyes on YSL Touche Éclat for far too long now – pay have to give in & buy it! Loved this post & loving your blog! Xxxx

Totally know what you mean, it gives a really beautiful finish! If you ever do get the Touche Eclat, let me know how you like it!
Phebe Huang says
I’ve always wondered about the touche eclat – glad to know it’s more highlighter than concealer! 🙂
Alyson Alconis says
Yesss, shade 5 is a perfect one for skin tone! 🙂
Sharlynn says
Omg, that lorac palette! I’m waiting for it to come back into stock here on a local singapore site! It’s sooo beautiful and that revlon lip butter is such a shade I’d pick up too! I’m a fan of berry smoothie! Great picks!
