February favourites

This month I have been using some new products which I think are fab, so here are my favourites!

Starting with makeup, I have been using the Eyeko skinny liner a lot recently. You may have seen this mentioned in my products I tried: February post and I am loving using it. This makes applying eye liner so easy, plus the line it gives it very defined and pigmented.

I have mentioned my Dior Nude bronzer several times and I still love it. It leaves my skin with a gorgeous bronzed glow, whilst being so natural and easy to blend.

Recently I reviewed my new Crown brushes and my favourite is one I didn't expect to be! The foundation/concealer brush is amazing and I never usually go for traditional foundation brushes - I go for buffing brushes. This applies foundation so well and I really enjoy using it. The concealer brush on the other end is so handy and convenient as well. I rarely use a brush for my concealer, however I have found this great for applying my under-eye concealer and then I use my finger to blend it in.

The Garnier Micellar cleansing water is amazing and I reviewed it last month. I pop this on a cotton pad and sweep it over my face to remove makeup. It removes eye makeup perfectly, even waterproof mascara! I sometimes follow this with my Liz Earle cleanse and polish, however sometimes I don't as this alone leaves my skin feeling so cleansed, soft and clean.

Moving onto hair, I have two products that I have been loving this month. The first is a rediscovery and it is the Kerastase nectar thermique. I absolutely love this as it detangles my hair, leaving it smooth, manageable and soft. It also smells lovely and lasts quite a while.

Lastly is the Korres Almond and Linseed hair mask which I reviewed yesterday. I love using hair masks, however they usually come in pots which I find a pain to take in the shower with me! This comes in a tube which is so easy to use! It didn't leave my hair feeling amazing after the first use, however after using this 2/3 times, my hair is definitely benefiting from it. This is lovely to use, the texture is great and it smells nice too!

I would love to know your February favourites.

Products I tried: February

At the start of February, I posted a Products I'm trying: February post. This is a new little series I am starting which a lot of you seem to be excited about! At the beginning of every month, I will let you know some new products I am going to be testing throughout that month and then at the end of the month, do a little round up of how I got on with them all.

I will post individual reviews of any of these products, so let me know which ones you would like.

I have really loved using the Philosophy Purity cleanser. My Liz Earle cleanse and polish has been a favourite of mine for ages now and I do still love that. Sometimes though, it's nice to use a cleanser that's thicker, creamier and leaves my skin feeling very moisturised.

 

I have been using my Clarins Exfoliator Brightening toner once or twice per week during February. I haven't noticed a big change in my skin, however skin products can take time to show results. I still love using this though because it leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and even.

 

My Maybelline Baby Skin primer is probably my new favourite primer! I absolutely love using this and have been using it almost everyday this month. The texture is so silky and smooth, plus it leaves my skin feeling the same way! My makeup lasts longer and applies flawlessly over this primer.

 

The Soap and Glory Glow All Out highlighter is perfect. It gives my skin a subtle and natural glow, without being glittery or shimmery. I love this product and will definitely be writing a full review with swatches!

 

I don't wear lip products everyday, so haven't worn my Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Sultry very much. When I have though, it has been lovely. One thing that has really impressed me, is this does not dry my lips out at all! I get very dry lips and even though this is a matte finish, my lips feel moisturised and don't look dry. The colour is gorgeous as well and complements my skin tone nicely.

 

The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge hasn't had much use from me this month. I tried it a couple of times dry and it was very difficult to blend the foundation in at all. I tried bouncing it and blending it on my skin, however the foundation just wouldn't spread. I have heard it can be better used damp, so I am definitely going to try that and will review it once I have.

 

The Barry M nail paint in Silvery Lilac is so pretty. The colour of this isn't exactly what I expected. From the bottle, it looks like it would have a bit more green in it, however the green only shows slightly in the light. In the photos above, there is only one coat which is fairly opaque.

 

I absolutely love the Eyeko Skinny Liner. I am not brilliant at applying liquid eyeliner, however this makes it so easy! The line it gives is so pigmented, precise and smooth, which makes it a pleasure to use. I would highly recommend this product!

Products I'm trying: February

I thought I would start a little series where at the start of every month, I show you the products that are new to me and I'm going to be trying out. Then at the end of the month, I can tell you how I got on with them all!

 

This month I have a range of products that I am going to be trying, so here they are.

 

 

Starting with skincare, I recently bought the Philosophy Purity cleanser from a blog sale. This is something I have wanted to try for ages now, so I am very excited to start using this in February.

 

My only other new skincare item is the Clarins Exfoliator Brightening toner. I have read some great reviews on this and I will let you know what I think once I have been using it a while.

 

The other day in Boots I bought a couple of makeup items that I haven't tried before. I bought the Maybelline Baby Skin primer, Soap and Glory Glow all Out and Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Sultry, all of which I have read brilliant reviews on.

 

In Superdrug, I picked up the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge. I have never used a sponge to apply makeup before, so I am looking forward to trying this. I would love to know if you have any tips on using sponges!
 

 

My final two products are from blog sales. I bought the Barry M nail paint in Silvery Lilac. This looks gorgeous in the bottle, so I'm hoping it looks just as pretty on my nails! My final purchase is the Eyeko skinny eyeliner. I am starting to wear eyeliner on a daily basis again, so I'm hoping this will be nice and easy to use.

 

At the end of February, once I have been using these products for a month, I will update you on how I have been getting on with them!

 

I hope you like the idea of this little series. Please let me know in the comments below!
