This post will contain my must haves for this month, specifically tailored to the trends and requirements for January 2013...
My first must have product is the 'oh honey' set of Lashes from the Katy Perry lash collection, created by Eylure priced at £5.95
This is due to Spring/Summer trend 'Fluttery Lashes' as seen on the runway at Moschino, Giorgio Armani & Gucci
It is clear that huge lashes are used on a very natural colour palette, enhancing eyes and making the look more feminine. These Katy Perry lashes are perfect for giving your eyes an extra flutter. Stock up because this is going to be a huge trend!
My second Beauty product is the Liz Earle Brightening Treatment mask. £14.25
During the winter the cold, harsh weather can leave your skin dull and dreary. This treatment mask with revitalise your skin and give you a 'natural looking radiance' It does this through natural products such as camphor oil and toning witch hazel.This can be used morning, night or whenever you see fit. A definite must have for restoring your skin to it's full potential.
My third must-have beauty poduct is the Undressed palette from MUA £4
This bargain product is perfect for recreating the sixties make up trend as seen at Marc Jacbs & Louis Vuitton...
A neutral smokey eye with an abundance of eyeliner will perfect this sixties trend. Use lighter colours on your inner eye lid, then a slightly darker shade towards the outer corner with a very dark colour along the crease. Sweep the same dark colour out extending past your eye for a dramatic night time look. Don't forget to fully fill in your eyebrows too for a very sixties style look.
My fourth must-have beauty product are these twon nail polishes from OPI £11 each (prices vary depending on stockists)
This is due to the Spring/Summer trend approaching fast - two tone nails, as seen on runways at Phillip Lim, Roland Mouret and Tracy Reese...
The great thing about these colours I've chosen (Altar ego - Pale pink & Midnight in Moscow - Burgundy) is that these two polishes can be used in two other Spring Summer trends - Pale nails & Dark nails. By investing in two nail polishes you're set for 3 upcoming trends! Sounds like a good investment to me.
My fitfh must-have beauty product is the Barry M Lip Paint in Shocking Pink £4.49
This is in honour of the colour pop lip trend popping it's way on to the catwalk at Giles & Dries Van Noten
A bright pop of colour on your lips is a fabulous statement this season, wear with bright prints for an all over colour blast or with a simple monochrome look for a serious colour pop. This Barry M colour is perfect for recreating a catwalk trend for less. A very wise investment!
My Sixth must-have beauty product is the Juicy Couture perfume 'Couture La La' £34.50
This Juicy couture fragrance is the newest edition to the fragrance line and isn't it gorgeous! However, a fragrance shouldn't be bought by judgement on the bottle (but it is beautiful isn't it!) it's about the scent - This one's wonderful. It is a floral fruity scent and has a very feminine feel to it, that's just what you need after a Christmas of gingerbread scents.
My seventh must-have beauty product is Frontcover's Black Kohl Pencil With Smudger £8.00
This season it's all about grungy eyeliner, as seen at Lanvin & Roberto Cavalli
The best way to achieve this runway look is to take inspiration from these pictures. Sweep a thick line of Kohl pencil along your lower lash line and then smudge with the other end of the pencil - a perfect grunge look achieved in seconds!
My eighth must-have beauty product is Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle Re-constructor £4
This deep conditioner is perfect for resolving problems with dry hair. During the winter months hair can be left feel dry, dull and in need of help! This Aussie conditioner will help revitalize your gorgeous tresses and leave them looking wonderful again! At £4 for 250ml I'd say it's at least worth a try!
My ninth beauty must-have is MUA's professional Primer - £4
I have repurchased this product countless times, it's a miracle product! A current trend for Spring/Summer is a completely flawless complexion and using this primer, you're on your way! Take a look at these runway looks from Jil Sander
As you can see each of these models has a clear, flawless complexion. This is easily achieved with a primer and why blow all your cash on a high end one when MUA offers high end results at a fraction of the cost? It makes perfect sense to invest in this gorgeous primer.
My final must-have beauty product is Collection 2000's Lock N Hold Lipgloss in shade 'Rock Steady'
I chose this because I picked one up on Sunday and I adore it! I wear it over MUA's lipstick shade 14 - Bare and it looks gorgeous! For a simple neutral gloss, this is perfect. When you don't have a lot of time, slip this on your lips and your pout is perfected!
I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope it inspires you to pick up some of these gorgeous products!
