February Outfit Inspiration

*More Accurate title would be Outfit/Makeup inspiration, plus a cute candle... but really this title is too long amirite?*

Guys, February 1st is this coming Monday (what?!)  Where did January go?  When I think of February I think of Pink and Red (though I personally like the color pink better), so when thinking of outfit inspiration I immediately am drawn to bright pinks, reds, and hearts.  I've put together one daytime and one night outfit, plus plenty of accessories (seriously love the Kendra Scott earrings and I have both Naked 3 and Too Faced Bon Bons and you can go wrong with either!). You can find all the items (or something very similar) linked down below.  

Makeup to try in 2016

Disclaimer: I am in no way a beauty expert.  I just enjoy trying out new products (especially ones I have heard rave reviews from my favorite YouTubers.

Of course after I draft this post I fall down the YouTube rabbit hole and find so many more products to try in 2016, but here are the main 10 products that I have been dying to try.  I seriously spend way to much time on YouTube watching reviews, demos, and haul videos of makeup products, so narrowing down this list in the first place was quite difficult.  But I do only have one face, and therefore really shouldn't need half the makeup I already have.  Nonetheless I am hoping to pick up some of these products over the course of the year.  

(Order Top L - R, then Bottom L-R)

1. Buxom Shadow Palette

I love Buxom lip products and have been really interested in trying out their shadows (especially after hearing a great review from Tati of Glamlifeguru on YT).  My only qualm is the price (40$ for 6 shadows!), but the nice thing is he packaging is reusable with all other Buxom shadows.  Will probably try to grab this during a Sephora VIB sale.

2.Kat Von D Shade and Light Contour Palette

So many YouTubers have been raving about this palette.  I have KVDs Monarch eye palette and absolutely love it and the color payoff so I can only imagine that her face contour palette would be amazing.   Another product I am hoping to snag during a VIB sale!

3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit

The swatches I've seen of these look beautiful!  I've been really into highlighting lately so of course I have been lusting after these.  

4. Kat Von D Tatoo Liner

Once I've run out of my current stash of eyeliner I'm planning on trying out this one!  Another item I've heard raves about so I'm curious to see how I like it.  

5. Urban Decay Moonshimmer Shadow

UD is without a doubt one of my favorite brands, and I've walked by and swatched a few of these in Sephora many times, just haven't quite pulled the trigger and purchased one.  My hesitation has been that I have so many eye shadows!  And in my daily life I never wear shimmers, but maybe this year I'll snag one (then fall in love and want to purchase them all). 

6. Marc Jacobs Lipstick

Marc Jacobs products have been everywhere the past year.  I've always loved their eyeliner, and recently fallen in love with their blush, plus a girl can never have too many lipsticks, right...

7. Makeup Forever Step 1 Primer

Another product that I've heard so much about.  Primers for me rarely blow me away, I've tried POREfessional (meh), Dr. Brandt Pores No More (good), Bareminerals Blemish Therapy Mattifying (good), Laura Mercier (meh).  After hearing so much though I am curious to see how MUFEs will stack up.  They have different types to target different skin concerns, I'm hoping to try the smoothing one!

8. L'Oreal Lumi Cushion Foundation

Another product that is all over YT.  It gets mixed reviews, but seeing as it is a drugstore product the price tag is fairer than the other Cushion style foundations that are widely available stateside (Amore Pacific and Lancôme).  Plus I really like the Lumi Highlighter Stick from L'Oreal, so I'm hoping this product will work out! 

9. Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer

I'm almost out of my current favorite Concealer (Tarte Maracuja Creasless Concealer), so I'm thinking (and by thinking I may have already placed an order from Sephora 🙈) of trying this one next. 

10. Marc Jacobs (Re)Marcable Foundation

A very high end foundation (aka something to pick up during a Sephora sale, especially since my skin is so finicky with foundations) that so many people have been raving about.  Supposedly it makes your skin look amazing, though not sure how much nicer it will be than my Too Faced Born this way.

What are makeup products you are interested in trying out this year?  I'm always looking for suggestions!
