Here are some products that I loved using in February -
I have to start with Smashbox's Camera Ready BB Cream. I've actually had this product for over a year but recently got into using it again this month. It has a lovely, creamy texture that leaves a slightly dewey finish and has really good coverage. This is the first product that made me feel like it matches my skin tone to a T. It is the perfect mix between foundation and moisturizer in its texture and in fact I prefer using this over foundation at the moment. It will be great for the summer time when I don't want anything heavy on my skin but still want some coverage. Love this product!
I know I'm really late on the Naked palette bandwagon but better late than never right?! I actually first heard about this palette from my friend last summer and loved the textures of the colors. Since it was a luxury item for me because I already have several other eyeshadow palettes, I waited a few months to get it but I'm so glad I did. The colors are absolutely beautiful and perfect for day-to-day or night out make up. I've seen the Naked 2 and the Naked Basics palettes as well but I prefer the colors in this one. I haven't had any problem with fallouts and they stay on crease-free all day with the Urban Decay Primer Potion. :-)
I've always wanted to make a cute little bun but could never get the volume or shape that I wanted. So when I saw this hair doughnut kit at Target, I was excited to try it out. The doughnut has a stiff sponge like composition and acts as a great base for you to wrap your hair around. It even comes with 4 pins to help you secure your hair in place (although I had to get some more because 4 wasn't enough for me). Great product that stays all day!
My next favorite is an item that I just recently bought and have loved all month. Maybelline's Baby Lips has a beautiful creamy but non greasy consistency that is great for dry lips. I can't wait to try out the other flavors.
I am a huge Pixiwoo fan and and I kept hearing about these Real Techniques makeup brushes that make up gurus on You Tube were using. So I was thrilled to find out that Real Techniques were actually developed by Sam from Pixiwoo. I found some at Ulta and bought two sets - the Travel Essentials and the Starter Kit. Both came with an assortment of brushes for the face, eyes and lips and I have loved using them. The bristles are so incredibly soft that I find some of my other brushes really difficult to use because of how coarse they feel in comparison. They are also beautifully made and would make a great gift I think. I will definitely be purchasing some more from the collection. They are not that expensive either. I think both sets were about $17.99 each but Ulta had a buy one get one half off deal so I got both for $27.
I've been wanting to get into candles more and use them while relaxing or doing some work. Bath and Body Works had a 3 for $10 deal on their mini-candles so I picked some up to try out. I love the Beach Cabana scent, it smells really fresh and like cotton.
My last favorite product this month is actually a little odd considering the place I got it from. Its the Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle shampoo. I had tried out a sulfate-free shampoo a few months ago but wasn't too happy with it. And I have been wanting to get more tea tree products in my life so when I saw this shampoo at TJ's I couldn't resist it (it was only $4!). Love this shampoo! Its semi-clear and smells lovely and feels great. My hair stays oil free and fresh for 3 days with this shampoo. I also colored my hair recently and this has been great with moisturizing it. Love love love and can't wait to try out the conditioner.
XO!!
