Kelly's January Favourites 2011:

January is over, so it’s time for favourites. This is a list of products I’ve discovered in January or products I’ve used a lot in January, I also added some non-beauty favourites.

Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Naked Palette

Well what’s there to say about this palette. It’s amazing! You’ve got all the colours you need for a neutral daytime look or a smokey night-time look.

Lipstick: MAC Plumful
Love this colour, a purple-plum with a lustre finish so it’s school and work appropriate.

Lipgloss: MAC Sin-tillation (Cham Pale collection)
The perfect gloss with a lot of shimmer, can be worn on its own or over a lipstick or lipliner to make your look more fabulous. Looks really great in combination with MAC Plumfull lipstick.

Blush: MAC Instant Chic

A perfect coral blush for everyday use.

Eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
I can’t apply liquid eyeliner, but gel liner is a piece of cake for me. Funny thing is most people have it the other way around. I love MAC Blacktrack Fluidline, because it’s ultra black and stays on all day.

Nail Polish: OPI Diva of Geneva

This month was a purple month I guess, my favourite lipstick is purple and so is my favourite nail polish. OPI’s Diva of Geneva is perfect with this still cold weather because it’s not too bright and summer-ish but it still is a fun colour.

Perfume: Vera Wang Glam Princess

Just the packaging already looks so glamorous, it’s smell great but you have to like strong scents.

Youtuber: http://www.youtube.com/user/lette76
Check out this amazing Retro Make-up Tutorial by Colette, after watching this I immediately looked on her channel for more amazing looks and subscribed to her channel.


TV-show: Hellcats
I already watch too many tv-shows but I came across this promo on Youtube and got curious. I started watching and got addicted. Anyone else agrees with me that brown hair looks amazing on Ashley Tisdale?


Song: Fefe Dobson – Stuttering
I heard this song on Hellcats episode 109: Finish What We Started, I just had to know who it was and I’ve been listening to it ever since almost every day. It has such powerful lyrics and a nice beat. The clip is unfortunately not what I expected, in my opinion it doesn’t really match the lyrics. Do you agree?


Well these are my favourites for January, what are your favourites? Got any questions or requests for reviews? Please let me know in the comments below!

NOTD: OPI Diva of Geneva (Swiss Collection)

Colour/Formula:
OPI describes it as: A Vibrant pink-red that’s anything but neutral.
I describe it as: A purple with pink undertones with a golden sheen to it.

Well you can call it whatever you want, it’s a gorgeous colour. Too bad you can’t really see the gold sheen in the picture. I always have this feeling that pictures don’t do nail polish justice. They look so much better in real life. Just a fun fact about how amazing this colour is: even my sister has worn it and that something because she usually only wears clear or pink nail polish. On the picture I’m wearing a base coat and 2 coats of OPI’s Diva of Geneva.


Staying power:

Like expected from OPI it stays on for more than a week before it stars to chip. Of course you get a white line at the tip of your nails because they grow.

Packaging:
Like usual the same OPI packaging, glass bottle, black cap. I do have to say I find OPI bottles huge! I wonder if I will ever finish a bottle.
Price/Quality:
OPI is quite expensive. This bottle costs €13,95, but you get 15ml of product, which is a lot! Like I’ve said above I’m afraid I’ll never finish a bottle.OPI nail polishes are good quality. I like have pretty nails but I don’t have the time to redo my nails every 2 days, that’s what I like about OPI, I don’t have to worry about my nails for a whole week.

Overall:

+ Amazing quality, will stay on for more than a week!

+ Beautiful, original colour

+ Wide range of colours in permanent line

+ Huge bottle

- Quite expensive

- Limited Edition colour

- Huge bottle
