February Favourites!

Hello, again, it's been a while, but I thought that I'd start blogging again after this short break. Lots have been going on, but in that time I could prepare myself properly on blogging again, something I love to do... In the days that have gone by, I tried to write new posts so I can upload every 2 days again. Sping is coming up, even in the rainy area where I live, which means I can do easter themed posts or just spring-time blogposts, because I love spring (when we actually get a proper spring, ofcourse). Also, soon I will take of to Paris and I will do a post on that too, ofcourse! But today: My February Favourites!


February has gone by so fast, but it seemed like I used more products than ever. Maybe because it is the last month I actually consider as "winter" and I want to try out some more moisterizers before I go and get some that actually smell fresher. However, here are my favourites!

Make Up:

Something that has been around for quite a while (in make up years), but I only recently discovered: Lash Accelerator Endless. It love how it gives volume and lenght, but on a natural way. You can layer it if you want bigger looking eyes, but I prefer a natural look, as I'm still a student and only 16 years, my make up doesn't go all the way and is mostly to a minimum whilest on school. However, I absolutly adore make up and trying new stuff. Long story short: I love the flawless look of the lash accelerator endless mascara.



Can you say 'babylips' from Maybelline is make up? I think so, others may say it is more a 'lip care' product other than make up, but it gives a hint of colour when using. I've got the 'pink punch' from a friend for christmas, and it's not that I didn't love the texture and feel of the product, but the pink wasn't really me. I love the gived and I was really thankfull, it's just that the colour was a bit too bright pink with my skin tone that matches better with a orange-red colours. However, I gave it another go and dabbed it a bit more carefull and now I love it! It is really moisterizing and I get all the fuzz about it, so I think I'll start recommending this more *puts some more on*. Can I also add that I find it really funny that it has 'adult use only' on the side?




Then next, I have been loving a pencil winged eyeliner, so I purchased one from Bourjois. I have had a liquid one from the same line that I absolutly loved (which I lost recently), so I hoped that the pencil liner may would be equily as good. And I guessed right! It stays on so long and the pigmentation is fantastic! So I bought them in the shades 'Brun Design' and 'Noir Expert', the black one also has a sharpener, which is easy for your make up back. Anyways: real keepers!



Lastly, I love the foundation that I gave a go in the beginning of January and meanwhile it has almost become an empty: Benefit- Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow! (talking about a mouthfull), which reminds me that I need to do a new one this month (would you like a MAC one?). But about the benefit one: I love the look it gives me, very natural and not too shiny (for my dry skin), it is buildable and stays on quite long! However, if you want a fuller coverage, you may want to search a little further. You want the full review? Click here.


Body:

Only one favourite in this category and it's from Yves Roger. I have quite a dry skin and this shows more and more in winter time, but luckily I rushed into Yves Roger and I found something that I believe I will use a bit longer than only this month: Repair Lotion for extra dry skin! I saw my body loving me for using this and the scent is quite good. It is with shea butter, which has proved itself enough in any other product, but something about this lotion is even better. I use it everytime I've showered and so far so good.


Random:


Can I say I love my glasses? I have a prescription for -1.25 glasses, so this means I don't need to wear them all the time, but I clearly can see a lot better with them on. So I've got this new glasses from Ray Ban (because I needed them, not because I just wanted new ones) and I don't know how they're called exactly, but they are from the legend collection and maybe the picture says enough.



Another thing I'm obsessed with is kind of like a person. Or more like a youtube channel. If any of you know Kayley Melissa, you'll know what I mean! She does amazing hair tutorials and also a make up tutorial once in a while, but most important: she explains what she does in a few easy steps so everyone can follow. The products she uses are also things a lot of people can get their hands on, which is only a bonus. So if you don't know who she is, click here.


Lots Of Love,
Me

Favourite Lip Care Products

As I might have said before, Lip care is for me the most important step in my beauty routine. This for the simple reason that I easily get dry and chapped lips and when I don't use a lipbalm, the worst is yet to come. I'll start licking my lips, which leaves them even drier. When they are drier, I start biting my lips and when that happens, they are totally ruined. Luckily I have the good habit to always have one of my favourite lipbalms with me. Let me share some of my favourites.

Vaseline, lip therapy
If you read this, it will not come as a surprise to you that this is one of my ultimate favourites. I've seen it for the first time in summer 2013 and I haven't forgotten it ever since. This is always somewhere around me. I find this better than a lipbalm in a lipstick form, because when you balm your lips with it, you can pull your lips a bit too hard, which doesn't leave you with better lips and often can lead to bleeding. That's why I love patting this one in.




Maybelline, Babylips

This product hasn't been available in Europe for too long, but it's already my favourite. When I heard it was available in my country, I went to every store, but I couldn't find it. Not that long ago, I found it online and I bought one that I really enjoy right now. I have the colour Pink Punch, but I like Cherry Me as well. All of them are pretty good, and I love how they smell and how they taste... I prefer the coloured ones, but they 3 out of 5 (available here in Europe) are clear. So if you'd like that, you can get these too.





Yves Roger


I find Yves Roger product mostly really good and this one isn't any different. I don't think it really has a name, but they almost always have it in stock and they have different flavours. What I like about them is that they hydrate your lips and have a sweet tast that isn't too strong. It's all about the right amound. I have the coconut one, but I guess the other ones work just as good. Pick your favourite and stay hydrated.






I hope you have very kissable lips with these tips (ow well, it rhymes). Important to keep them hydrated during winter (also summer, but especially winter).

Lots Of Love,
Me
