Hello
my beauties! February Favourites? Can’t believe it yet, the month just flew
away so fast. But March, you’re welcome. It’s my favourite month of the year
because it’s my birthday month! I’ve been loving a few products that I used
every single day. Can’t get enough of them. I really hope you enjoy this post.
Have a great day! Nikoleta, xoxo.
1. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
I’m a
huge fan of Real Techniques Brushes. The Expert
Face brush isn't as wide as the Buffing one, but as always, the bristles are
super soft and feel amazing against the skin. It's more oval shaped that the
circular Buffing brush, so it would also be good
for applying bronzer in the hollows of the
cheeks.
I much prefer using this one for applying
foundation. It gives a full, even coverage - I use it like a normal flat
foundation brush, like I'm 'painting' on foundation instead of buffing in
circular motions. It gives a more flawless, even finish and doesn't use as much
product!
Overall, I really do like the Expert Face brush.
It's great for applying foundation, but could also be used for other purposes,
like contouring. I love the diversity of the Real Techniques brushes, because
although they're named for a specific task, they are also multitasking brushes,
which you can use for your face.
2. Rimmel
Provocalips in "Play with Fire"
A gorgeous deep red and what's awesome
about it? It's not transferable what so ever. This stuff stays on when you eat,
drink, kiss, and what ever your little heart desires. The only thing that comes
off is the lip balm of course. This stuff does not budge all day. I hate
having to reapply my lipstick every few hours. With this lip colour, you just
have to apply the colour once, and reapply the lip balm everytime you feel a
bit dry. This is the formula that everyone needs to get on. I've never had a
lip stain or liquid lipstick last this long or have so much difficulty
removing. If you do need to remove it though, the best way to do it is with an
oil based make-up remover. I'm telling you guys, this is one beauty trend that
is up and coming, and it's one that my pockets are going to be crying about
because I'm going to be broke.
3. Rimmel
Stay Blushed 001 Pop Of Pink
“Perfect
for any occasion: the blush blends instantly and seamlessly to create a long
lasting, natural-looking flush of colour that lasts up to 24 hours. Ultra
lightweight, won't feel heavy. Lasts all day. “
I have the colour 001 Pop Of Pink which is a really
nice bright pink, however don't be scared off when I say that it's bright
because when it blends into the skin it actually looks really
natural! It's just like the name of the colour says, its just a pop of
pink!
The consistency of this is a
mousse-like texture and I think that that's what makes it looks really natural
on the skin. It also has a bit of an iridescent glow to it, which is
a bonus cause then you don't have to use highlighter! I love this
product so much that I have included it into my everyday make-up routine and
I wear it to school and it definitely lasts throughout the whole day;
which for me is 7-9 hours. Overall, I obviously love this! It's easy to
use so I would recommend this to beginners! This is also really travel
friendly in the way that it is small and compact but it still has a lot of
product in it, and trust me, a little goes a long way!
4. Urban
Decay Eye Shadow In Verve
The newly reformulated eye shadows from
Urban Decay feature soft velvety texture, decadent color, uniform pigment
distribution and blendability, and long-lasting crease-free wear.
Verve — a pale shimmery
off-white shadow with a frost finish. Verve is great for highlighting or adding
that little sparkle in the center of your lids to finish off a flat look.
I love this eyeshadow. I use it nearly every day
and for a casual look I just apply it over my lid, mainly in the inner corners
and use a black eyeliner with mascara, and it brightens up my eyes! i also use
it when I’m going out and either do a darker smokey eye with this in the inner
corner, or use "gun metal" - a shimmery blue from the Naked Palette 1
along with this which is one of my favourite looks.
This shade is versatile
and can go with anything and it lasts a while and goes on really nicely. I have
nothing bad to say about it, except it is a little pricey as an indiviual shade.
5. Mac Studio
Finish Concealer In NW20
I am in love with this
concealer! Where have I been before and didn’t tried this one out. It's super
thick and I can even say heavy. It gets better when you warm it up a little bit
- becomes thinner and creamier when it warms up. Do not rub it, just gently pat
it into the skin. It covers like no other, seriously. It's the only thing that
can cover my zombie dark circles and make me look slightly more normal. I
usually apply it first with the concealer brush and then blend it with my ring
finger. It brightens up the under eye area. The consistency of this concealer
is great, and it stays a long time into the skin. It’s a saver for my life
seriously, you can use this for any blemish that you have, it wil
What were your favorites in February?
