1. Urban Decay UD Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette
- I'm OBSESSED with this palette. From the moment I heard that Gwen and UD were partnering, I knew I had to have everything they would be coming out with. I've used this palette so much already that I messed it up before I could take photos for a review (which is why there isn't one...). The shadow called Baby is my absolute favorite. This palette is great because it isn't a neutrals palette and it isn't a colors palette, but a perfect balance of the two. I really recommend this palette if you're looking for something unique for your makeup collection. Oh, and the packaging is GORGEOUS. This palette has definitely become my favorite, every day palette.
2. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herb, and Rose Water
Because I'm super cheap and refuse to drop more than $10 on a setting spray unless my life depended on it, I never found a setting spray that wowed me. I heard that rosewater has a lot of amazing benefits for your skin and when I found out that this Mario Badescu facial spray was only $7, I had to try it. It has a rose scent that goes away right after you spray it. It was a little off-putting at first, but when it went away it was fine. It feels amazingly hydrating and light as well.
3. Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Blush in Rapture
- I bought this blush back in June 2015 because it shares the same name as my favorite UD lipstick and because it was unlike any blush I have in my makeup collection. This deep mauve blush can scare some people away because it looks dark, but I've found that not only does it look good on my pale complexion, but any complexion. It feels light on the face and has amazing staying power. I love that the packaging doesn't have a mirror, which my seem weird, but it comes as an advantage to not have to wipe the mirror clean from the loose powder that settles there. The packaging is sleek and thin, making it easy for travel. I used to just wear this blush on special occasions, but now I find myself wearing it basically every day.
4. One Direction You & I Fragrance
- Why did I just buy this for myself???? You know I love One Direction with all my heart, but it took me forever to finally bring myself to buying their fragrances, so for Christmas, my mom bought me the You & I gift set. Since Christmas Day, this is the only fragrance I wear. I have so many perfumes that won't be getting any love from me until this huge bottle is empty. Everyone who gets a whiff of it tells me they love it as well. I spray it on everything from gifts, cards, pillows, etc. I honestly don't know how I went so long without this perfume.
5. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
- This is an oldie but a goodie. I've used this cream shadow for almost two years, and I find myself loving more and more each time I use it. The color is perfect for every day and it's super blendable. It's easy to control how little or how much you apply and it's finger and brush friendly. I find that applying it with a brush, gives a lighter, feathery look, whereas applying it with a finger gives it a more pigmented, metallic color. It's nice and versatile so you can use it any way you'd like.
6. NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Natural
- This lip liner has always been my absolute favorite, but I've been using it more recently as a base for Kat Von D's Lolita liquid lip color for my everyday lip look. It glides on super smoothly and is long lasting. It's easy to use if you're going to apply it all over the lips versus just lining the lips. The darker nude color is perfect on it's own or I even use it to vamp up other lighter lip colors. It pairs well with basically every lipstick, but I specially like to pair it with Kat Von D's Lolita, Rimmel Kate in #104, and NYX Cannes. The best part is that it's super affordable!!!!!
7. Loacker Quadrantini Dark Chocolate Wafers
- My grandma used to buy these for me when I was younger, and I recently discovered that the little store at my school sells them so of course I had to buy them. I've eaten almost the entire bag by myself because THEY TASTE AMAZING. They come in many different flavors but I've only ever tried the chocolate varieties. The hazelnut, almond, and tiramisu flavors sound so good too. I'm eating them as I write about how much I love them.
8. Starbucks Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade
- This was also included in my June 2015 Obsessions, but STARBUCKS HAS MADE THIS AN ALL-YEAR-LONG MENU ITEM. It was the greatest thing I ever discovered and of course I can't drink anything else now that it's back forever. I'm not going to rave about it here because I already did in my June Obsessions, but you can read about it here!
9. Michael Buble's "Me and Mrs. Jones"
- This song is almost 10 years old but it is still AMAZING. I honestly can't tell you why I like it so much. This song just has a really chill vibe and an amazing melody. The lyrics are super promiscuous because ya know, Mrs. Jones and Mr. Buble getting it on in a cafe every day at 6:30... If they go to the same place everyday, how are people not catching onto what they're doing??? ANYWAYZ... If you want to listen to "Me and Mrs. Jones" head on over to the left side bar to my Music I Love <3 playlist!
10. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
- Why did I just now discover how amazing this show is??? It's produced by the same company that produced Parks and Recreation, which is another one of my favorite shows. Terry Cruz is amazing in this show and I keep asking myself why I'm oddly attracted to Andy Samberg. If you loved Parks and Recreation, you're absolutely going to LOVE Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Nick Offerman also makes and appearance as a gay gynecologist, so definitely check it out.
That is all my obsessions for the month of January 2016! Apologies for not posting as often as I should be. I'm back at school and life has been so hectic. I promise to try to be more consistent with posting because I do have lots of ideas about what to write about! If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments, send me a message, or tweet me using #thecaitlynlee! I'm open to anything you have to say!
Thanks for reading!!!!
Love, Cat <3
