Happy Tuesday everyone! How was your weekend? It’s been super windy over here but other than that, everything is good. It’s time again for my monthly favorites so let’s get started!
Renee Rouleau AHA Smoothing Serum 17%
I have a very textured forehead and even though I exfoliate on a regular basis, it doesn’t help much. I’ve found that exfoliating serums though make a major difference in the appearance of my skin and this glycolic acid based one works great. After cleansing and toning my skin, I pat on a thin layer before applying my moisturizer on top. It tingles a little but isn’t uncomfortable. I use it for three nights straight and then discontinue it for three nights straight and I’m mindful of not spending too much time in the sun when using this.
Too Faced Soleil Matte Bronzer in Chocolate
I have a sample of this bronzer and I’ve been reaching for this pretty much everyday. As the name implies, there is no shimmer here which is great and it blends in effortlessly while looking natural. There is a slight chocolate scent but it quickly dissipates once you apply it.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Athens
I’ve reviewed this lip cream here so I won’t say much other than the scent to this one is addicting and the color is natural and gorgeous.
NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Peanut Brittle
I’ve been stalking the NYX store to purchase the shade Tres Leches and since they are always out of stock, I picked up the shade Peanut Brittle. Peanut Brittle is part of the NYX Spring 2016 collection and believe me when I saw this lipgloss is highly pigmented. The swatch below was just one swipe. I wear this alone and I get a glossy nude lip that’s divine.

Chloe Love Story
Jen from In the Beauty Box (give her a follow!) sent me a bag filled with gifts and this one was one of them. With notes of Neroli (Orange Blossom Oil), Stephanotis Jasmine, Physalis and Cedarwood, I’m really liking this scent. It’s not overly overpowering and somehow I get a whiff of rose which is nice. It doesn’t last long though which is about the only downside I see.
What were your January favorites?

I love that perfume! It’s one of my favorites to hoard samples of 🙂
I was surprised by how much I liked it. 🙂
They usually have Tres Leches at Ulta. I’ve almost bought it quite a few times. Lol! I usually end up putting it back to get something else though. I keep saying “next time”!
Haha, you know how much I love the nearest Ulta to me. Good to know though. I may have to stop by and pick it up and get out of there quickly, lol. 🙂
I’m in love with the look of the NYX lip creams and the bronzer sounds lovely 🙂
They are nice and you should try the bronzer sometime. I think it will look great on you. 🙂
Wow that serum has 17% AHA? Sounds hardcore! I’ve never heard of the brand so thanks for introducing it to me. 🙂
Yes, it’s a nice product that can also be used on sensitive skin, depending how your skin tolerates. Renee Rouleau has some amazing products and I’ve tried a good amount of them. The Purifying Face Wash, Triple Smoothing Berry Peel, Mint Buffing Beads, AHA serum, and the Total Eye Repair are some of my favorites that I recommend and they last me a good while. 🙂
The list of NYX Soft Matte Creams is ever growing now!They are honestly the best and I sweat I need them all! I love Chloe perfumes so will need to give this a little test next time I’m in store! xx

They are great but I feel I am most addicted to the scent, lol. I think you’ll like the Chloe perfume. 🙂
I’m so glad you love the perfume! I have a sample at home for myself as well. It’s a nice scent.
It does smell good. 🙂
