January or haul or what I bought this month. New year, new monthly feature! I'm hoping to do this every month, showing and talking about mainly style and beauty things I bought for myself in a month. I may feature home decor or entertainment bits in here from time to time.
So this month I was a bit spendy in the fashion department. Beige knitted dress and midnight blue jacket (on sale) from Zara.
Zelens Power A was purchased with 20% off from lookfantastic. So far, I'm loving it.
Gianvito Rossi kitten heel slingbacks were 60% off from Browns. I may return the heels since I was on the lookout for nude/ tan shoes. These are too light and too pink and the minimalist in me is afraid that they will not get worn enough to justify keeping them. The shoe lover in me says screw it, they're gorgeous.
What do you think? Do you buy shoes just because they're pretty? What did you buy this month?

Overall, I am very happy with this box. I knew I wanted to get it because I was particularly interested in Zelens Power D oil and Tata Harper Regenerating eye cream and I would have probably bought them at some point this year. Just these two items cost £195. The box also includes Indie Lee toner, Dr Dennis Gross peel pads (both brands I have heard of a lot and haven't tried). And Pixi + CH double cleanse, of course, which is a favourite of mine.
The only product that I had my doubts about was the January Labs lotion, purely because they call it a lotion. I, as an owner of a dry-ish and dehydrated skin, don't typically go for lotions. However, I LOVE the consistency and feel of January Labs Moisture Balancing Lotion. It is light, yet really hydrating and will be perfect for warmer summer days.
Another product I know I will love until the end is Tata Harper Regenerating Eye Cream. It's not only a texture that I like (creamy but not too heavy. sinks in fast and moisturises well) or the smell (reminds me of Dr Hauschka eye cream) but also the effect on my skin. I don't know how to describe it, but it just looks and feels better. Instantly. The pump is a bit annoying because it deposits way too much product, I only need like a third of a pump because a little goes a long way (thank God, because this is one pricey eye cream!).
Zelens Power D is a lightweight oil which sinks in fast and leaves the skin comfortable and nourished. Indie Lee CoQ10 Toner also has some calming and soothing properties. Can't say much about anti-ageing but my skin liked it. And it smells good!
The only thing I haven't tried is the Dr Dennis Gross acid pads because I currently have three different forms of acids on rotation (liquid, serum and mask. and not all at the same time!) and I need to finish some of them up.
I wish the box had included some kind of fancy SPF but that's just me being super picky. All in all, money well spent. I am probably sorted for most things skincare until autumn. Except SPF.
