February Favourites || Beauty

 

I was debating whether or not to bother doing a favourites post this month because I actually don't have very many new things to show you and I don't want to keep showing you the same things. However I do love a favourites post and its become a little bit of a tradition on my blog to do one each month so apologies for the small favourites but small is better than none right??

Anyhow my biggest favourite this month is a complete surprise favourite because I did not think I would like these but its the Make-Up Revolution I heart my lips collection lipsticks. Now Make-Up Revolution are fast becoming my favourite drug store brand, I made an order with them and got these sent free with my order because I'd spent over £20. Usually free gifts from brands are products they're trying to get rid of or ones that don't sell really well so I didn't have high hopes but these really surprised me. I've loved wearing them especially the purple and the nude shades so I will definitely be doing a full post on these with swatches!

My Naked 3 palette has reminded me why I love it so much last month. Those gorgeous pinky tones 

and rose golds are just perfect for the month of love, I'm always drawn to this palette at the start of the year especially in February, must be cause the palette screams Valentines Day. I love, love, love Trick it is one of my most favourite eyeshadow shades ever with its glittery rose gold ness and I also love the pink glitter Buzz a lot! As you can see from the picture though I get a lot of use out of Nooner, Liar and Dusk too.

My nail favourite of this month is without a doubt Essies 'The Lace Is On' which I actually got in my Coloristiq box which is a subscription box for nail polishes which is right up my street. I'm going to do a full post on what I got in my box once I've tried out all the polishes but sneak peek this one is a winner. It's a bright purple with such a pretty metallic shine to it.

Another surprise favourite I have is the By Terry kohl terribly in the shade 3 bronze generation. I knew it would be good being By Terry but the shade is an olive green/black with gold through it so I didn't expect to get much use out of this but I have got lots of wear from it. I'll do a full post with swatches but it lasts well and it doesn't look as bold as you would imagine it too.

My last few favourites are moisturisers because with the weather being so cold my skin has been really dry, tight and itchy so I've been slathering this stuff on. For my face I've been loving Garner Moisture Nourish and although it is a small tube, a little goes a long way and it only cost £2! For my body especially my legs and arms I've been using Johnsons baby bedtime lotion which is one of my favourite body lotions. Although it is targeted for babies, it has such a relaxing smell that makes me chilled out and helps me get to sleep. It's also pretty cheap and really good for anyone with sensitive skin because obviously it's targeted for babies so is pretty natural!

What have your favourites been last month?

My February Favourites

Hellooo my lovelies,

 February is now over, can you believe it?? It really doesn't feel that long ago since I was opening my presents on Christmas morning! However, with the end of Feb brings the promise of Spring and some long awaited sunshine that everyone in the UK (especially bloggers) are longing for...longer daylight means longer time for taking blog photos hurrah! So today I thought I would share with you the products I have been loving throughout February.

 No great surprise to anyone that my Naked 3 Palette is featuring...aaaagain! It really is that good guys! I've especially been loving Liar and Factory together on my lid this month! Another reoccurring favourite is Coralista and I'm pretty sure this is going to be my favourite blush for the Spring/Summer months! It's just the perfect coral shimmer and another thing I love about this is it seems pretty impossible to over apply this which I'm quite bad for doing with blushers. I have a review of my Naked 3 palette which you can read here.

 I've also been turning back to my old friend Nars Laguna bronzer which is just the perfect brown for bronzing up my face without making me look orange. I really love the look of Laguna with Coralista and I'll definitely be repurchasing this when it finally runs out.

 A huge favourite of mine this February has been Tanya Burr's lipglosses. I never used to be a massive lipgloss lover but with it being bang on trend right now, I seem to be favouring it more! My three favourite shades are Aurora, Exotic Island and Picnic in the Park and I always have at least two of them in my handbag at the moment. I have reviewed both Tanya's lipglosses and nail polishes both here and here.

 The nail polish shade I''ve been loving at the moment is from Tanya Burr's collection and it's a bright pink called Be Bright, Be Happy, Be You. This is super bright and it just makes me really excited for Spring and Summer. This shade is definitely my favourite of her polishes from the one's I've tried so far! Although the lids of quite a few of the polishes are really stiff which is annoying but it's a pretty colour and seems to last well on the nails!

 Of course, of course this little gem would find a way to sneak into my favourites once more. I love it pure and simple and I have done a review of it here if you would like to read more about why this is such a love of mine!

 A massive love of mine last month was fake tan! I don't really touch my tan asmuch in the Winter apart from special occasions just because I think it's a lot more fake looking then because obviously it's too cold to have a natural tan! Not to mention the fact that every shop near me seems to withdraw it from the shelves come October! However, from Valentines Day onwards I've felt it's been acceptable to crack out the tan again and give my skin a healthy glow. The tan I use is St Moriz mousse in dark , it's super cheap and you can get it from Tesco's and I think from a few places online! It gives a really nice colour, it does go on quite patchy which makes you panic but if you can avoid freaking out and washing it off right away (which I've done many a time) when you wash it off in the shower it leaves a nice colour. So I'll definitely be continuing to use this over the next few months!

 My favourite scent over the month of February has been another one of my Victoria's Secret body sprays. This time I've been loving Coconut Passion as it smells of sun cream and Malibu and it just makes me think of holidays which gets me excited for Summer!

 The hair product I've been loving in Feb has been my Mane n Tail shampoo and conditioner. A few weeks ago I finally bit the bullet and went to get my hair cut because it had gone all transparent and split at the ends and it was long overdue for a cut! As my hair hadn't been cut in nearly a year a good 4/5 inches needed to come off to make it look healthy again. I decided that I'd rather have shorter healthy hair than really long dead hair so I did it! By no means is my hair short and quite a few people have commented saying how long my hair looks recently...I think when it's healthier it must look longer! However, I still notice that it's shorter now so I instantly restocked up on humongous bottles of my favourite growth treatments. Now Amazon won't stop recommending me horse toys and other horsey related items but it's worth it! It cost me £20 for the two bottles and delivery from Amazon. I have a mini review of these in my hair care routine which you can read here.

 Lastly is a bit of a random one but if you've read my posts from the start then you'll know that I'm a big bath lover. I could happily spend hours in the tub with a good book and will happily reside there until my body is prune-like and the water is freezing. For Christmas, I got this bath pillow in my stocking and OH MY..if you like your baths then get yourself one of these. It has little suckers which attach to the side of the bath, it's waterproof aswell so it doesn't matter if it's half submerged in water but it is the comfiest thing and makes lying down in the bath so much more pleasant!

What products did you love during February? Have you tried any of these one's?
