February Favourites

21:43



Ok, so after a month of no posts I have a returned with my February Favourites. 
Most of my favourites this month have been beauty related but there are a few other bits and pieces thrown in there as well. Links to all products are in the descriptions. 


First off: Make-Up

My first favourite of the (last) month is the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I have had the Naked 2 palette for a while now and loved it, so I thought I would try out the original palette. I was uncertain, at first, but I have definitely grown to love it over the past month. The pigments are great and the colours are great for day and night. I dont really know what else to say, as I'm pretty sure everyone already has this palette, but if not, I totally recommend.

My next favourite is a lipstick. When browsing the premium counters at Boots, a few months ago, I came across the most beautifully packaged lipsticks and couldn't help but to purchase one. They were the YSL Rouge Volupté Shine. I don't usually go for lipsticks with a shine, however these are beautiful. I haven't taken a photo of the actual colour, but it's like a beautiful pearly pink (number 44), and I am wearing it on my icon. Anyway I wear it almost everyday and absolutely love it!

Next, is a new foundation. My favourite foundation of all time is the Estee Lauder Double Wear. It's an amazingly high coverage foundation and there are so many shades. But, it is expensive and does feel quite heavy on the skin. I decided (with the help from my friend on the skincare counter) to try the Vichy Dermablend Foundation... and guess what, it's a favourite! The coverage is amazing, it covers blemishes, scars and uneven colouring. I still wear my Double Wear, but this Vichy foundation is great for day-to-day use.

My final make-up favourite is a primer. I have always struggled with finding a primer that fully works on my skin, but this one has come close haha!! I received the Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer Potion for my birthday back in December, and have loved it ever since. It goes on very silky and smooth, there's no oily feeling and, most importantly, it lets my foundation sit on my skin comfortably all day.

Skincare
So I only have one skincare favourite this month, but it's a good'un. Everybody's obsessed with micellar water at the moment, and I have jumped on the bandwagon. I love French skincare, and bioderma is no-exception. The micellar water for oily skin works wonders. It takes off all my make up and is so quick and easy. It has nothing aggravating or bad for the skin in it, and the price is great, especially for the quality.

Fragrance
I love perfume so so much, and I have a lot of perfume favourites (perhaps another blog post?) but I have had 1 perfume that I have worn ALL month, Philosophy's Amazing Grace. It really is Amazing. It smells clean, elegant and really different. It's quite a subtle smell, but people definitely notice it when it's on. I absolutely love it!!!

Other
The final 2 favourites don't particularly fit into a category so I'll just get on to talking about them.

First off is the Boots Botanics Lavender Pillow Spray. 
I am someone who really struggles to fall asleep and relax, and finding this product is a god send. The lavender smell is so relaxing and I fall asleep so much quicker with this spray. It is so affordable in comparison to other similar product's. I seriously recommend this to anyone who struggles to fall asleep at night. 
Retails at £5.00 exclusive to Boots
My final favourite of this month is a book. I'm absolutely obsessed with Chinese birth signs and zodiac signs and this book is all about both of them. The books called The New Astrology and was written by Susanne White, who has wrote many many books about astrology. I read so many reviews of how amazing and accurate the book is and I just had to buy it. I wont get into too much detail but basically it tells you about your Chinese birth sign (ie year of the rat, ox etc) and western zodiac sign (Sagittarius, Aquarius etc). In addition, it also explains your specific sign combination (Sagittarius/Rat, Aquarius/Ox etc). The explanations are scarily accurate and very interesting!!!
Retails from as little as £3.07 on Amazon
