January Favorites

It's that time again, January Favorites time!! :]
I've been kinda MIA for the past week, but I've just been going crazy with school and all the homework i've been getting. I just recently started college again, so am trying to get my schedule situated so that I can have time for work, school, and of course my lovely blog & youtube channel.

Any who, off to something that's not an excuse... Last month I did a bit of shopping, so for the future months i'll be having new things to review, and rave about. 
These are a few of the products i've recently been obsessed with!!


1. Guylian Chocolates, 2. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, 3. LAVANILA - pure vanilla perfume, 4. Jane Eyre soundtrack, 5. Biore deep cleansing pore strips, 6. BedHead Masterpiece hairspray, 7. Bobbi Brown Concealor, 8. MAC lipstick - Scarlet Ibis
The Scent of this past month has been my, LAVANILA - pure vanilla perfume. This perfume is probably be the equivalent of you rubbing a vanilla bean all over your body. It smells amazing!

For hair, I just recently started using BedHead Masterpiece! If you want a strong hold hair spray, this is the one of you!! It gives me insane amounts of volume, and it doesn't hurt that it smells good too!! 

Now for skin care, I just rekindled my love for these Biore deep cleansing pore strips! I've been having a little but of trouble with pimples on my cheeks, so I used these and they took out all my black heads and clogged pores, aka preventing any future pimples from popping up :]
This is a great product and inexpensive too!
In my favorites I love to include books, and music i've been loving and the book of the month is, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. 
It's funny because I have just started this book, but it's def a page turner! I'm already hooked on the book and I only started reading a couple days ago...
Also the movie based on this book is coming out in a few months, and I want to officially critic the movie by reading the book, LOL! (I know I'm such a dork)
HAVE YOU GUYS READ THE HUNGER GAMES?
LOVED IT?! or HATED IT?! 
For music, I've been loving the, Jane Eyre soundtrack. I'm big on soundtracks, I think movies are a great way to find out about new artist, and plus the music for time period films are always so amazing. The scores for these movies are hair raising!
This one is no exception, if you like classical, symphony music you will like this soundtrack. The songs themselves are a bit ominous but still beautiful, LOVE IT!
For makeup products this month I've found a couple of amazing products. #1 would have to be my MAC lipstick in Scarlet Ibis. This is a limited edition lipstick from the Iris Apfel collection that came out at the begining of last month, but MAC is coming out with a new collection this week called Cook Cook & Shop Shop and they are coming out with similar colors to this.
I love this color because it's an orange color that works well with my skin tone because it has red notes in it. 
I'VE FINALLY FOUND A CONCEALOR THAT WORKS!!!
and it's the Bobbi Brown creamy concealor in Natural Tan. I have dry skin, and usually concealors look patchy on me, but this one is perfect in my opinion!! 
I usually apply my moisturizer, and right after put this concealor, and this makes the application go really smooth and natural looking. It's amazing, and def MUST BUY in my opinion!!
Just started College again, so had to include my new book bag. My Mom was nice enough to buy me this during black friday, but just used it for the first time last month. It's by Kate Spade and I got it at the outlet mall during black friday on sale thankfully!! 
Love it <3 has they quirky feel with the vintage looking telephone dial :]
I'm a self proclaimed choco-holic!! and these chocolates are daaa BOMB!! <3
I'm drooling just looking at this picture!!!

HAVE YOU TRIED ANY OF THE PRODUCTS I MENTION?!
tell me your thoughts!!
What's on you favorites list for the past month?!?!
Hope you liked this post!
Keep it classy.
