Hey babes! long time no post I know! To all of you that care I apologize for the delay I'm just now getting settled into my new job/schedule and with the holidays coming up around that same time you can say I was a bit overwhelmed but extremely blessed to say the least I hope you guys had an awesome holiday season and an even better new year!!! (better late than never right?) but moving on I'M BACK (for good I swear this time) and I'm sooooo excited to see what 2k17 will bring here on my blog with you guys 😊. Speaking of the holidays I was fortunate enough to have gotten lots of goodies this holiday season (I was on the nice list this year I guess) and have been enjoying them all month long so I thought what's more appropriate than kicking off the new year with a January Favorites post!? Nothing that's what lol so lets just jump into it shall we?
AOA Scrubby Facial Cleansing Pad

Now this little baby has honestly CHANGED THE GAME when it comes to my skin care routine! I already use an exfoliate about 3-4 times a week but when I use a cleanser It's a little harder to make sure my pores are cleaned out and all the dead skin and gunk is removed from my skin but this has truly saved my skin. Literally in only a months time I saw such a difference and I think its a great alternative to all those electric face exfoliating brushes that are on the market right now (not to mention cheap it's only one dollar like c'mon!! you go SHOPMISSA) .
This is definitely not a new product but this is my third bottle so I thought it was only right to make it one of my favorites. The formula comes out white but rubs in translucent and babes let me tell you this REALLY works!! its mattefying but super moisturizing at the same time and it doesn't turn me into an oil slick half way throughout the day like most primers do because of their silicon base And for the price honestly why not!! I would definitely recommend giving this a try.
Beauty Treats

So I had to put this whole brand in general on my favorites because I always end up picking up one of their lip products 😅!! I did pick these up specifically from ShopMissA but because of how amazing these products are they are always selling out so be sure to check their personal website out as well. As you babes already know i'm all about exfoliation and that includes your lips!! lip exfoliation is so important especially if your a matte lipstick junkie like me and a good lip scrub never lets me down.

these scrubs are the truth!! the left picture is the almond cream lip scrub and its so moisturizing. I'ts thick and rich and more of a mild scrub but it still has that grittiness from the little beads inside the formula the right picture is a peach sugar scrub and is a little more coarse for the dead skin and build up on your lips. You can choose multiple flavors for both products and the combination of the two is heaven sent!
After a good scrub you always need a good lip treatment mine is obviously from beauty treats (pictured above) I didn't swatch it because it kept running down my hand (and I DO NOT like wasting product girl okaaay 😆) but that just shows you how rich with oils the formula is. I got Almond Oil (click for link) and it feels sooooo good on my lips if I had to compare its basically the same consistency as carmex but it doesn't have any menthol so you won't get that cooling sensation which I personally prefer and once again all of these were only $1 yep you read that right babes.
LA Girl Pro Concealer "fawn"

I've been using this concealer for two years and I don't plan on stoping anytime soon its rich and creamy and it never creases on me I just L O V E it not to mention a little goes a long way so it last FOREVER. I'm sure everyone has already at least heard of this but if you haven't or have and just haven't used it yet stop what youre doing and grab one please you will not regret this!

Pretty self explanatory but this "wonder" blender is sooooo soft and the flat end is perfect for applying my foundation I use to only use a blenders for under my eyes but using it on my whole face cuts my application time literally in half and it comes out so seamless don't underestimate the magic of a damp wonder blender it will change ya life!

Last but def not least my ALL TIME FAVE highlighter as you can see I hit pan because I'm that obsessed with it and I truly feel like this would look good on ANY skin tone but they also have other shades that you could choose from ( I WILL be getting my hands on those very soon). I'ts not too chalky or glittery and its as smooth as butter absolutely no fall out and 5 shades in one strip so the combos are endless!!
And that ends my favs babes hopefully i introduced you guys too some new goodies to try!! what have you babes been obsessing over for the month of january? let me know in the comments or hashtag #astoldbygen on twitter/instagram so I could see!! Till next time babes ❤
