It’s the end of the month again which means it’s already time for another favourites article. February has gone by even quicker than January (obviously since it has less days) and I’m okay with that. This month wasn’t too spectacular. I have tried a couple of new products and I have discovered and rediscovered some products, but not a ton. If you’re curious to find out which products I did end up loving in February, make sure you continue reading!
So let’s start off with a very unexpected favourite: the Essence Forbidden Volume Mascara. I reviewed it Monday, so if you want to know all the details you might want to check that out, but it’s amazing you guys. I never expected to love an Essence mascara as I do now. It gives me lots of volume, it lengthens my lashes and it separates them really nicely and to top that all off: it stays put throughout the entire day, no smudging! Isn’t that amazing?!
Another great budget discovery this month has been the The Ordinary Adherence Silicone Primer. I bought it because Wayne Goss was raving about it in one of his videos and I thought: if he is such a big fan of this, it has to be amazing. Turns out it’s actually amazing. And that for less than 5 Euro’s! It’s one of the best primers in the world and it makes my makeup go on and stay on so much better. I love it!
Another product I have fallen in love with throughout the month of February is the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream. This stuff is out of this world amazing. The shade is literally perfect for me, the texture is incredible and the coverage is perfect. It makes my skin look flawless and it keeps it that way throughout the entire day.
Another IT Cosmetics product I have fallen in love with is the Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush. This is the best foundation I have ever tried and I’m very picky when it comes to foundation brushes. It blends out every foundation perfectly and creates an even and flawless look. It’s amazing.
Onto the next item. I know it’s very soon to say it since I’ve only been using it for about two weeks now, but I am head over heals in love with the amazing Becca Backlight Priming Filter. I haven’t even written a review about it yet, but it’s just the best thing in this entire world. I used to think: why is everyone going so nuts about a primer. But girls (and guys), it is totally worth the hype. It’s incredible.
Another Becca product I’ve fallen in love with is one I have had in my collection for quite a while, but I never really gave it a fair shot. It’s the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid in the shade Opal. My lord this stuff is stunning. It creates the world most gorgeous glow but it isn’t as extremely intense as the pressed version so it’s perfect for everyday wear!
Strangely enough, this month I fell in love with pressed powder. It has been like 2 or 3 years since I last used a pressed powder but it is great. It’s so much easier and quicker to work with. It’s not such a mess and it works just as amazing for me as a loose powder does. My current favourites are the Rimmel Stay Matte powder and the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed powder. Both of them are absolutely incredible!
Aside from that I haven’t really fallen in love with a lot of other things. I have discovered the The Ordinary skincare products which I am obsessed with, but makeup wise this month was, like I mentioned before, not too exciting. I still hope you enjoyed reading today’s post and be sure to let me know which products are your favourites!
XOXO, Nicole.
