Oh my goodness, class, I almost forgot to do my monthly favorites again! But, I didn’t, so let’s get the January favorites rolling! As you know, if you follow me on Instagram,  I did a “no buy” in January as well as a one lipstick per day challenge. Therefore, you are not going to see any really new products this month, or any lipstick at all!

Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Natural Perfection Foundation is quite possibly my new “HG” foundation. It applied beautifully with sponge and brush, and leaves the most natural satin finish. It is also the longest wearing foundation I’ve ever tried, and it doesn’t even settle into the one deep line I have by my mouth. It’s magical! I use the lightest shade, and I do find that it oxidizes a tiny bit.

MAC Prep + Prime 24 Hour Extend Eye Base was my go-to eye primer this month.  It really prevents shadows from creasing throughout the day.

Kat Von D Alchemist Holographic Palette is amazing for transforming your look from everyday to magical mermaid unicorn. I especially love layering it over simple black liner for an out-of-this-world holographic effect. It’s currently out-of-stock at Sephora, but check you local store and take a peek at my swatches here!

Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in “Kitten Karma” is the most amazing creation of sparkly goodness. It is a lightweight liquid formula that’s easy to blend out for subtlety or pack on for glitter that you can see from space. I also use an angled brush to turn it into a liner. Glitter for everyone!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara  has probably been on my favorites list before, but I’m too lazy to check. Every time I go back to it I wonder why I’ve ever used anything else. It truly keeps my stubby lashes curled all day, without them feeling stiff.

Well, those were my January favorites! What were some of yours? Please tell us!

[may contain affiliate links] Hello, class! Today I want to talk about Stila’s Stay All Day, Sparkle All Night set that is part of their holiday 2016 collection. This set contains five Stay All Day liquid lipsticks and one “Glitterati” top coat.

The Stila Stay All Day, Sparkle All Night set has a mix of new and old shades. They include:

• Baci (nude pink)
• Rubino (beet red)
• Fresco (mid tone dusty rose)
• Patina (dusty rose)
• Bacca (raspberry)
• Glitterati Lip Top Coat in Transcend (multi-color sparkle)

All of the lipsticks contain .05 oz of product. They have Stila’s traditional doe-foot applicator and the formulas have the somewhat thick consistency I have come to expect from this brand. My only big issue is the Glitterati top coat, which leaked through the cap when I didn’t shake it up enough before application (I think the liquid traveled from the applicator stick).

The glitter top coat is beautiful and does completely dry down. It does not change the color of the lipstick over which you apply it, but it does pack on the glitter. This product may not be your cup of tea if you are averse to plain ol’ glitter on the lips (as opposed to a metallic finish).

top to bottom: Transcend, Fresco, Bacca, Patina, Rubino, Baci

This set retails at Ulta for $35 USD, while Stila says it has a value of $71. So, the Stay All Day, Sparkle All Night is a great option if you want to try Stila’s liquid lipstick formula. This set will also make a great gift this holiday season!

Update: now available at Sephora, too!!!
