Monthly Favourites : February

As February draws to a close, its time to look back over this short but sweet month and round up my favourites. This month has mainly been one of happy discoveries, with new skincare products entering my holy grail list and a few too many guilty makeup purchases. I am excited to share with you all the gems I have stumbled across as well as my TV, music and blogger favourite of the month.

1.  Makeup 

After constantly reading about the coveted Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz and suffering from one too many brow mishaps, I finally invested in my very own eyebrow saving pencil. I can happily report that this is one product that is definitely worth the hype. It is a retractable pencil in a perfect matte brown shade and is thin enough to mimic the appearance of fine hairs. Whilst I’m not quite rocking the power brows of Cara D just yet, I am definitely now on the right track with this little Wiz.

In my recent Cult Beauty Haul, I became the very proud (if slightly broke) owner of the Stila In The Light Palette. I am a true eyeshadow addict, and I can never resist the temptation of yet another palette of mesmerising shades to add to my collection. I have loved playing around with the array of looks this one allows you to create. It is ideal for anyone looking to invest in one palette that they can rely on for any occasion. This will seamlessly transition your look from day to night with neutral browns and light shimmers as well as a few cooler dark shades.

My final makeup favourite this month has been the Tropic Contour Palettes, which have become a permeant fixture of my daily makeup routine. I have both the Bronze and Blush shades and you can read a whole review on them here. Each palette has a contour shade, one for adding colour and a highlighter. They are of an amazing quality, blend seamlessly into your skin and are made from 100% natural plant extracts.

2.  Skincare

Moving swiftly onto skincare, this month I discovered the Tropic Brand and have fallen head over heals for their entire line. I wrote a post dedicated to their basic ABC cleansing routine, but two specific products that my skin has been loving is the Tamanu Healing Balm and Face Smooth. The Balm is intensely moisturising and is perfect for hydrating your skin and healing any active breakouts or acne scarring. I have been applying a thick layer every evening before bed and wake up with a glowing complexion.

I also adore the Face Smooth, which is the best exfoliating product that I have ever tried. It perfectly polishes your complexion whilst also providing a layer of moisture. Once I wash this off, my skin is left glowing, nourished and baby soft.

3.  T.V.  and  Music

I know I am massively late on the bandwagon with this one, but I finally clicked on the Pretty Little Liars icon on my Netflix home screen. This has become a serious addiction of mine and I embarrassed to admit that I have managed to make it onto the third season in little over two weeks. 

The two albums that I have been addicted to this month are Taylor Swift 1989 and George Ezra Wanted on Voyage, both of which I have had playing on repeat throughout February.

4.  Blogger

My blogger/YouTuber favourite this month has without a doubt been FleurDeForce. Fleur was my first glimpse into this amazing world of online beauty gurus; three years later and I am still entirely hooked. Whilst I love her beauty videos, it is her FebVlog series that I have been addicted to this month. For me, Fleur has the perfect vlogging techniques, she is so natural on camera that it feels like I am sitting chatting and catching up with a best friend. I only wish she daily vlogged every month!

That’s officially it for this months favourites, I hope you enjoyed this post and I would love to hear what you think in the comments below. What has been your beauty and non-beauty February Favourites?
