>> Hi y'all and welcome back, or if it's your first time on my channel
Hi, welcome, I'm Giuliana and I upload new videos every monday and friday
so if you haven't yet subscribe in order not to miss any of them.
Today's video is about my January favourites products
and I realized that this is the longest running serie on my channel
in fact my very first video was a monthly favourites if I'm not wrong
I hope you are not bored of this format
as I do love this kind of videos and I watch a lot of them too, because
I often get to know new products and I get inspired for my own purchases
I hope it's the same for you
That said let's get to my January favourites as once again I selected a few products
that I loved and I'm ready to share them with you, they are all here
next to me so let's get started!
I just realized that I bought both my January skincare favourites
last summer during my U.K. trip
but as I'm a hoarder I kind of forgot about them
until recently and I loved them both.
one is an product I already used in the past, the other is a new entry, let's start with the first item
which is a body scrub by Soap & Glory
the sugar crush, which I do believe is one of their best sellers
I love Soap & Glory in general, it has a good quality/price ratio
it's a bit hard to find in Italy though, but I'm quite sure...
let's say hi to the usual motorcycle, I don't know if you can hear that
anyway I'm quite sure that you can get it on Amazon or Ebay
but as usual I remind you that on my blog you'll find the link to all the featured products
so if you are interested in any of them just check my blog, click on the links and you'll have more infos
and buy them if you wish.
but let's talk about this scrub, it's made of brown sugar, sweet lime, almond oil and macadamia grains
which I do believe is some kind of nut
it has a fresh smell, very citrusy...
which is a scent I particularly enjoy, it's very exfoliating
which is perfect for this time of the year as I feel my skin needs some extra exfoliation
as it's a bit more dull than usual.
I recommend it as I really like it and in general I love Soap & Glory products
I would use them more if I could find them on sale more easily
The second product is definitely more expensive
as it's by an high end brand
the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa foaming cleansing wash
a lovely face cleanser.
The peculiarity of this product is that it feels like a liquid in the package
but when you push the pump it turns into a soft foam
which is lovely to apply and deeply cleanses the skin...
it's a bit aggressive though, well not aggressive
but I had a similiar product from Fresh and it was more gentle on the skin
this one makes the skin feel squeaky clean
and even if it doesn't feel tight or dry you can definitely feel something when you use it
and I thought I had to mention that
it's quite expensive too, but as usual I an't remember the price
so as usual I'll try to link it on my blog
even if I think it's not possible to get it in Italy
maybe you can buy it on the english web site SpaceNk
That said I think we can move to make up because I have a few products to share.
Here we are in the make up section , in spite of the fact that in january I didn't buy any new product
I have two basic items I'd like to share,
the first one is an eyeshadow, which is part of Sephora colorful line
I think I already spoke about these eyeshadows because I really like them
This one is called Tiramisu
and it was a Christmas present as I found it in the Sephora advent calendar
well actually it was a birthday present
and it's quite a dark shade that I wouldn't have choosen myself
but I loved it , I'm wearing it now too, as it's perfect to add some definition to the crease whilst offering a natural finish
It also has a warm undertone that perfectly matches with my golden shades
because, as you know, my everyday make up is always on the golden, bronzy, coppery, brownish side
The second product is quite unusual for me and it's an Urban Decay Naked lip balm/gloss
I had this for a long time as it was inside an Urban Decay palette
I think it was the...Naked basics on the go one
that was gifted to me...a while ago
but I didn't use it before while recently I was looking for a more nude lip color
I tested it *coughs, sorry about that
I was trying to suffocate a cough by suffocating myself...great!
Anyway I really liked it because it's rich on the lips
it hydrates them, it's not drying, which is a pleasant plus if compared with the last lip products I used
that were all matte and they made my lips feel...meh
do you know what i mean?
While this one is lovely to apply, it has a natural shade, it's glossy, but not too much
it's not unpleasant to wear, it's not sticky, so
I thought I'd feature it in this video as I used it quite often
for my everyday looks as you can never go wrong with a nude lip
and those were my 2 make up favourites, now let's move to clothes because
I have a few pieces to share with you.
I got the majority of my Janaury favourite clothes from Asos
in fact at the beginning of the month I took advantage of the sales I bought a few pieces
I have to admitt that I often order something on Asos, try it on when I receive it and immediately send it back
because it doesn't fit right or look good on me
so usually at least one of the pieces in my order is a return
but this time I loved everything I ordered, so it was a great success
Let's start with...
some pieces that are a bit unusual for me
The first one is this overall basic dress, which was super affordable as it's in elasticated cotton
but it's an over all dress, with the straps crossing on the back
it's a skater dress
and I've been looking for something like this for a while as I don't own anything in this style
and I loved this one because the price was low and it's an easy to match piece
so this is my first favourite
The second piece is completely different
velvet leggings! Tadaaa!
Lately I've been wearing leggins a lot, especially with oversize sweaters
or tunic dresses
and I wanted something less boring than my classic black leggings
so when I spotted these ones I fell in love with them, even if I wasn't sure they would look right on me
but as soon as I tried them on I had no more doubts
They are high waisted, the brand is Miss Selfridge
but I bought them on Asos
They fit like a glove, they are comfy and quite warm
but I always wear tights underneath anyway, but I'm always cold
and they are a lovely change in my wardrobe that in Winter is mainly made of black
and some grey and brown.
So Yay, I've got burgundy velvet leggins and by the way I'm quite obsessed with velvet in general
The third piece is different again and it's a sweater
in this delicate dusty pink, and I fell in love with this ruffled raised collar
and with the see through puffy sleeves
while the cuffs are long and tight and it's in the same fabric of the sweater
I love to wear it with my flared skirts because it's tight on the waist
but the puffy sleeves make it more romantic and vintage looking
The brand is Oasis, but always via Asos
The last piece is the one I'm wearing and it's a 3/4 velvet top, with round neckline
simple, but as I said before I'm obsessed with velvet
I already own a skirt that I bought from Modcloth and I think I featured it in my December favourites
with whom I plan to pair it
and I love it because it's simple, but the velvet makes it special
*coughs... sorry but today I've got something going on with my throat
I got the last thing I'd like to show you in Primark
I don't know if you watched it but I uploaded a random vlog
of a shopping day I had during the Christmas holidays at Il Centro in Arese with my friend Monica
and of course we went to Primark, I didn't film a haul video because I bought some random stuff
and one of the things I got was
this pair of leggins, that look ugly in camera
but I've been wearing them non stop since I got them
because the weather has been really cold and the peculiarity of these leggins
is that the inside is furry
they are soft and cozy
and those were my January favourite clothes
now let's move to the accessories
because I have a few more things to share, some of them are peculiar
some are from Primark and I didn't know in with cathegory I should feature them
so accessories!
As I said the accessories section is a bit all over the place
as there are many different items I 'd like to show you, so I'll start with
some tights that I got from Primark and they are super cozy
as the inside is thicker and warmer
I love thick tights and these are the coziest and warmest ones I ever worn
so they are perfect for this time of the year and it has been freezing cold
so I could wear dresses and skirts without freezing my feet and legs, which is amazing
good job Primark, thanks for taking care of us cold feet people
I have another pair of tights to show you, I haven't worn them yet, nontheless they are my favourites.
I haven't worn them just because they are a bit lighter than the other ones
but they have foxes on, how could you resist a pair of foxes tights?
You can't, that's why I bought them!
The next item has nothing to do with tights as it's a bangle bracelet
it's a gold looking hammered bangle
and it was a Christmas present I got from my friend Alessia
It's very rare I like bracelets
No, that's a lie, I do love bracelets, but as I spend most of my day at the pc
I can't wear anything on my wrists as I'm not comfortable using the mouse or the keyboard
so I never wear bracelets, but I fell in love with this one
I've been wearing it a lot in January when I wasn't at work
so I had to feature it in this video, because I love it
I don't know where she got it, probably at a flea market
but I found some similar ones on Asos and I'll link them on my blog
My last favourite accessory from january, let me grab it...
is another Christmas present
A bag by *coughs* sorry about that
a bag by La Tilde, an italian brand, actually the girls who make these bags live not far from me
and they made a whole line of bags by recycling old phones
I love all of their products
if you don't know the brand go check their web site out, I'll link it on my blog
because they have some unique pieces and every time I wear this bag
I receive some compliments and children love it, maybe because they never saw these phones
I already owned one, I've been wearing it non stop for 2 and a half years, until it fell into pieces
and my husband got me a new one for Christmas and
I love that he knows me so well
My old bag was more a tote bag, squared with a long strap
while this has a flap that it's secured by a magnet
it's very spacious, it has some inside pockets
and you can wear it on your arm by using the handle
or cross body, as I usually do, has it has a long strap
So thank you Daniele, I loved the bag and I've been wearing it every day since I got back from Sicily
I love it and as I said I suggest you to check the La Tilde web site,
because it's worth a visit.
What else have I got? Just one more thing
that falls under the book cathegory, incredible, I finally have a new book to recommend
so don't miss the book section!
Taking advantage of the Christmas holidays I finally managed to read a book
I love reading, but in the past months I didn't have enough time to read anything
but in the Christmas holidays I found the time to read a book and I loved it
I'm talking about Enrica Tesio "la verità, vi spiego, sull'amore"
she is a writer and blogger from Piedmont
and she had an ironic and fun way of writing
her characters are really relatable, it's easy to feel some common ground with them,
I think the book is some how autobiographic, as it's the story of a young woman
mother of two kids, that has to deal with a divorce
and so we get to know her life, how she manages to handle the kids, the work and even new love stories
but as I said the irony is at the base of this book.
If you don't know her I suggest you to follow her on Facebook too as she always writes funny and smart things
Good job Enrica Tesio, I recommend this book and as usual I'll link it on my blog
We made it to the end of the video, as usual I hope you found my suggestions useful
that you maybe got inspired
if so don't forget to give this video a thumbs up, so that I'll know it
and if you haven't yet subscribe to my channel in order not to miss any new video and once again I remind you that
if you should be interested in any of the featured products
on my blog you'll find all the purchasing links and the address is in the downbar below.
That said I think we can end the video here, I send you a big kiss
and I'll see you in my next one, ciao!
