Hi, guys!
February is over and this can ony mean one thing, it's time for the monthly favorites! I discovered some new loves last month as I tried a lot of new products but also I just got back to some old favorites. Let's just get on with them!
Skincare:
Freeman Facial Polishing Mask Charcoal and Black Sugar Dual-action purifying mask and smoothing exfoliant is one my new favorite skincare product, it's gentle but still ferm enough to clean all dead cells and blackheads. It did wonders for my dry patches and I love how glowing my skin looks after I put this on for about 5 minutes and then I massage it gently and rinse it off.
Elmiplant Skin Moisture 24 H Cream was a constant in my skincare routine of every day in February, it's so light and moisturising, it leaves a fresh sensation behind... It does wonder for dry patches and even undereye area which is pretty sensible.
Bodycare:
I love all Dove body washes so in February I religiously used the Dove Creme Mousse Body Wash. I can't even describe how velvety this feels and hoe rich the texture is. I don't even need to moisturise afterwards.
Balea Beruhigende HauteCreme mit Aloe Vera und Provitamin B5 is an old favorite, it does wonders for your skin after hair removing, it's so soothing and refreshing. No red spots, ingrown hairs or irritations.
Makeup:
Smashbox Click You're It Eye Shadow Holiday Palette was my holy grail in February as far as makeup looks go. Since I've received it in the first days of February, I've used it almost every day, wanting to try out all shades and also the creams. I love the great range of colors and textures, it contains mattes and shimmers, I love the light colors great for a natural quick look. I actually can pull up a lot of looks uding only this palette. I would have loved a transition matte shade, but it's no biggie. I've mostly used shades 1, 2, 4, 6, 11 and 12.
The creams are great as bases, they won't crease over primer, but also as gel liners. I feel the black is good, maybe not the best one I have but it's pretty decent. I've mosty used 16, 17 and 18.
It's a great palette and I definitely want to try out more of Smashbox' products. I' ll probably use it as often in the months to come!
Ever since I've bought Flormar Matte Terracotta Eyeshadow in M102, this gorgeous light peach-pink, I've been inlove with it, I use as a blush almost every day. It gives such a healthy glow and it goes with pretty much everything. Good job, Flormar!
I'm crazy for coppery, deep rosy colors for my eye looks, so I enjoyed so much combining Rimmel's Glam Eyes Eyeshadow in Topaz with other shades. Dry or wet, it looks great on hazel eyes.
For my eyebrows, I used daily the W7 Style Eyes Brow & Lash Shaping Gel to set them in place and it works great. No need for more expensive products, it does the job and my pretty long eyebrow hairs won't fly around.
You know my addiction to gel eyeliner so how could I not love the L'Oreal Gel Intenza Liner in Violet Black? Just take a look at the amazing color, black with purple specks that glow subtle but that they are still intense. The formula is a dream, not too dry or too creamy, it's intense and it glides on smoothly. I wear it for a whole day with no worries.
Another combo for my eyecontouring I've been sporting last month was the combination of these two liners: Sephora Contour Eye Pencil Waterproof in 33 Love Affair (deep matte plum shade) and Avon Glimmerstick Diamonds Liner in Sugar Plum (shimmery purple-plum shade). On their own, they look great but nothing too intense. But Sugar Plum on top of Love Affair looks amazing. And it holds on for more than 12 hours without smudging.
33 Love Affair, Sugar Plum
In terms of lippies, I prefered mostly nudes, light pinks and coraly shades last month. On my list was Avon Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick in Creamy Melon, Maybelline Colorsensational Shine Gloss in Cashmere Rose and Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Cream in 53M. Different textures, almost the same shade.
Creamy Melon, Cashmere Rose, 53M
For face products, along with my old favorites, I've rediscovered Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector Combination to Oily Skin in Medium, great covering and glow, just a tad too dark for me (should have bought it in Light), but it works great nonetheless.
Rimmel Wake Me Up Antifatigue Effect + Radiant Glow Concelear in Classic Beige is a new favorite, I love the luminosity it gives my face when wearing it for my undereye area.
What were your last month's favorites?
