February Favourites! ♥

Now I know that I am a little late on this post seeing as it is now March, but hey! This way I made sure that these were all my favourites in every single day of February.

So let's start off with hair care, something I have not yet mentioned on my blog before! This is the Suave anti-frizz gel cream, I don't know exactly how to describe it other than wow. It says for fine hair to apply when it is dry, and for thick curly hair like mine, to apply either when wet or when dry and I do both because my hair can get so frizzy. I got this in my stocking for christmas and was not expecting much because nobody ever really talks about this brand but oh man.. This is my new holy grail of hair taming products. It has tamed every single one of my fly aways without looking crunchy or greasy! Score. I don't know what to say other than if you suffer from frizz like I do, you absolute have to give this a go. buy it here!





Next, we have skin care/foundation...win-win! It is of course, my Garnier BB cream. I won't give you the whole down-low on this product as you can read about it in my earlier blog post here! But basically, the colour is radiant and I have been getting compliments on how glowy and healthy my skin looks (it has an awesome dewy finish), and just overall, my skin has been loving it too. It's good for you and looks amazing too!

Now we are onto powders. I am a bit of a powder nut...not that I really use that much.. But I really think it is such an integral part of your makeup look whether you are going for a matte finish or a dewy finish! Now I have so many favourite powders, but just for the month of February specifically, I have been loving my Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder. Check it out in my blog post here!
 I make sure to use it with my dewier foundations so that it compliments them perfectly to look totally naturally flawless (not too matte, not too dewy/greasy). I would definitely not suggest using this with a matte-ifying foundation unless you have super oily skin. Nonetheless, the wear time on this stuff is awesome and it just looks so beautiful on the skin.


Here is my holy grail of under eye concealers...Now I am completely aware that this is nothing new to you guys..everybody and their mother raves about this. But anyways, I use this every single day, eve when I don't wear any other makeup (because my under eye circles are severe), and it is honestly a dream. I will never switch away from this concealer I will continue to repurchase and repurchase. The formula is full coverage, smooth and decently crease-friendly (I haven't tried any that don't crease at all for me because I have these cracks under my eyes) and long wearing. The applicator is a big sponge-y thing and it's so soft and just wow. Make sure to always get your under eye concealer one shade lighter than your actual skin tone. Check it out here!

Onto bronzers, my best find for this month was my N.Y.C. Smooth Skin bronzing powder. Now this isn't exactly news to you guys because I dedicated an entire blog post to it because I love it that much. It is honestly amazing for contouring (because it has no shimmer) and for warming up your entire face. You can even use it in the place of blush. It is an all around MUST HAVE. Read my review on it here!!





Finally onto blush. You all know, I am a blush FANATIC. Now I know it's a tad on the pricey side, but hey I appreciate all the drugstore and high end blushes all the same. This has just been my favourite for this month! It's the Nars blush in the shade torrid. Now once again, I have an entire blog post dedicated to this blush, it is in my opinion the most beautiful shade of blush that Nars has, and it still looks like its a colour that my cheeks could have flushed all by their own. Even better, it stays on all day, through out school and work and into the evening! So beautiful.


That's the way I see it!
