February Favorites

1. Colourpop Lippie Stix: I'm not going to spend too much time one these because I have an extensive colourpop review coming soon, but these are worth all the hype they have been getting.  At such an affordable price point (only $5!) they are such a steal.  Long lasting and hydrating on my lips, all I can say is these are amazing.  My personal favorites are Aquarius, Lumiere, and Frenchie.

2. Hey Honey Take it Off Face Mask: I love face masks.  They are one of my favorite beauty products to use.  I received this product in my most recent Birchbox and I am obsessed.  It is a gentle exfoliating peel off mask.  It is super easy to use and leaves my face feeling super soft.

3. The Balm Desert Bronzer: This has quickly become my everyday bronzer.  It has a light shimmer (that on the skin is barely noticeable) and the color is perfect for warming up my face and defining my cheek bones.  All in all one of my favorite bronzers

4. Sephora Eye Mask (Green Tea, Ginseng and Honey are my favorites): Again I've been loving masks recently.  These Sephora fiber eye masks are so fun to use.  They are super easy to use (you just place them in the under eye area), leave them on for 10 or so minutes then pull off and rub excess liquid into your skin.  They smell nice, and make my under eye area feel hydrated, look brighter and overall nicer.  There are a variety of types and I love trying out new ones.

5. Wildfox Jumper/Sweatshirt: Another product that lives up to the hype.  These sweatshirts are SO FREAKING COMFY!  I could wear these every day they are that soft and comfortable.  I grabbed mine on Hautelook, but if you see one you really like go for it. (here, here and here are some of my current favorites and I love this one on sale!)

6. Real Techniques Makeup Brushes: Another super affordable beauty product, that work so well.  I've been loving my Real Techniques Makeup Brushes that I picked up from Ulta.  For the price the quality is fantastic.  They apply makeup just as well as my higher end brushes.  I highly recommend trying these out!

7. Fuller House: Yes this came out the end of February but I may have binged watched all 13 episodes in two days... whoops!  But if you were like me and grew up with Full House and loved that show you will very likely appreciate all the nostalgia that comes with this show.  And if you have never seen Full House but like feel good, slightly corny comedies you will love this show.  All 13 episodes are up on Netflix now.

Pretty in Pink

Pink has always been one of my favorite colors.  I love how fun and girly pink looks on.  I love this silk top I got during the Lilly Pulitzer sale this past January.  While it is sold out now I have linked a dress in the same pattern and a similar style top below.  I styled it with my favorite new jeans from Topshop. They are seriously the most comfortable pair of jeans I own.   This outfit is perfect for a casual Valentine's day dinner (or any dinner really)!

January Favorites

1. Topshop Jeans

I finally got on the bandwagon of Topshop jeans (the ones with the holes in the knee) and oh boy am I glad!  Not only are these jeans so incredibly comfortable (like they make me reconsider wearing leggings everyday) but they also are super flattering.  Since their sizes are UK I sized up when I purchased and they fit perfectly!

2. Urban Decay Naked SkinConcealer

Wasn't this product mentioned recently in another post?  Well I have had this concealer for the past two weeks and have been using it nonstop!  It is perfect for covering up everything, and it lasts all day without creasing (note I do set my concealer with this powder).  

3. Bareminerals Flawless Definition Mascara

This has been my go-to everyday mascara.  It provides the perfect amount of definition for daytime wear, while still making my lashes long and curled.  Perfect for wearing to work, dinner, or out at night.  

4.Eyeko Fat Eyeliner

I received this in my January Birchbox and I have since fallen in love.  This eyeliner is so easy to use, and it is so easy to make simple wings with!  I was a little thrown off at first because the tip is pretty fat, but seriously I don't think I have ever owned a liquid eyeliner this easy to work with.

5. Dr. Brandt Pores No More Primer

This primer hands down beats benefit POREfessional any day.  This one actually minimizes my pores and acne scars so I give it a huge thumbs up.

5. Lush Shower Cream

These are freaking amazing.  The scents alone.  Seriously go out to a lush and smell Prince Charming (their seasonal scent for Valentines Day).  I actually want to go back and purchase like 10 of them, it smells that good.  Lord of Misrule is a nice scent also, but I think that was a holiday seasonal scent so I am not sure if they still have it (my lush after Christmas was selling them as a BOGO deal).  

6. Baublebar Acrylic Monogram Necklace 

This product is super basic but I received this over the holidays and. Have been loving it.  Mine is one of the smaller sizes (I think .75in) but I have been loving wearing this everyday as a simple addition to any outfit.
