February Favourites

Hello there! 

It's been a while hasn't it! I'm so sorry guys, going back to school has been a huge drain on my energy, but it's finally a long weekend and I've got some time. I'm sorry that it's a bit late to be writing about my February faves, but I'm sure you won't mind.

1. Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Nude in Light Porcelain

I've recently been trying out a few different drugstore foundations that aren't from my beloved Revlon. I think the Rimmel ones are really nice, although I do need to mix in some of my Jackie Oates colour supplement into them to get the right colour for me, a they do tend to be on the quite pink or yellow side. This new Lasting Finish Nude one has to be my favourite so far, it isn't too greasy, it goes on easily, it's not super thick and it has SPF 20 which is always a bonus. It's a nice everyday foundation in my opinion, as it does last quite well compared to other drugstore products.

2. MAC Satin Powder Blush in Fleur Power

I bought this blush a while back, and I've only recently been getting into it and as the weather gets colder, I like to lean towards blush rather than bronzer. I bought this colour because Rhiannon from fashionrocksmysocks used to talk about it a lot, and we have a similar skin tone. I like that it doesn't have shimmer, and that it's a gorgeous soft coral pink. 

3. Maybelline Colour Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded

This shade is a lovely metallic nude, with silver toned shimmer. I used to wear this on it's own, and it always creased really badly on me, so I stopped using it for a long time, but I realised that it's much better as an eyeshadow base, and I can't wear eyeshadow without it. It goes on really smoothly, and it goes well with any of the eyeshadows I wear, as I only really go for neutral colours.

4. Revlon Lash Finder Mascara in Waterproof Black Brown

I am one for huge, thick black lashes, but some days I really like a light coat. I was looking for a nice, cheap mascara to test out and I love this one. On days where I wear my L'Oreal mascara, I wear this on my bottom lashes and it separates them so well and doesn't smudge. If you're searching for a more natural lash look, this mascara is for you. The brush is slightly curved on one side and flat on the other.

5. Blistex Intensive Repair Lip Balm

I have been talking medication for my acne, and I've found that my lips are never forever dry and peeling and generally awful. This stuff has been helping quite a bit, it's not a miracle worker, but if your lips are chapped and a bit sore, it's handy, compact and inexpensive, plus it's got SPF 15.

So there you go guys, another monthly favourites! I hope you guys have been having a great couple of weeks, I'm sorry I lost the plot a bit with blogging and that things haven't been as interesting as usual. I'm hopefully going to get a bit more organised in the next couple of weeks and you will be hearing more from me!

Au Revoir!
