February Favourites
I probably say this every month, but how is it already March! This year is already going so quickly and what's even scarier is in two months I won't be a teen, I am not okay with this.
anyways... I have never done one of these posts but I've been loving so many products this month so I thought I would share them with you!
Beauty faves
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (Shade 55 / Dark Beige )
This is new to my collection and, well I love it. I had been using the Bobbi Brown skin foundation, and really wasn't getting on with it, so I tried out the Bobbi Brown longer lasting and MAC pro-longwear foundations (just in little sample pots), when I came across this one in Superdrug. I have tried Bourjois foundations before, but there is just something about this one that is a great mix between healthy, and heavy coverage, my ideal foundation!
Bobbi Brown Corrector (Light Peach)
Under eye concealing has always been one of those things for me where I think if I just add more product it'll conceal.. realistically this is not the answer. When I was looking at foundations I popped to the Bobbi Brown counter and the really helpful assistant offered to match my skin. She explained to me that my under eyes were really dehydrated and thats why product seemed to disappear and why my under eyes were dark. She recommended the 'correct and conceal' products they offer and because I already have a concealer which I love, I decided to just go for the corrector. Correcting isn't something I ever gave much thought to, but it makes such a difference, and now it's a step I make sure not to miss.
Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream
The Bobbi Brown corrector I don't think would've worked as well as it does if it wasn't for this little miracle cream. When the lady at the counter matched my skin she also gave me some (much appreciated) skincare advice. My skincare routine has got so much better, and I have seen an improvement in my skin (an updated skincare routine is coming soon, so I won't go into this too much) but an area of my face I never paid much attention to was under my eye. She explained to me that if your under eye is dehydrated, normal moisturiser won't rescue it, which is why my make up was creasing under my eyes. This little cream however, wow, I apply the smallest amount every morning and evening, and I love it!
Nivea Mens Post Shave Balm
I've been wanting to try this product for a while after hearing good things about it working well as a primer, and then I saw it in Tesco at a ridiculously good price, so obviously... I had to pick it up. I don't use it everyday, but on days I know I want my make up to last I apply this to my skin after moisturising and it does make so much difference.
Primark Rose Gold Eyelash Curlers
These little bargain finds are my new holy grail. I never really use eyelash curlers just because in my head I didn't think they made all that much of a difference, and whether they actually work or not I have found my applying mascara after curling them makes them look that little bit longer.
fashion faves
Topshop Boots
I haven't had many fashion favourites this month, and that's mainly because I've just felt really uninspired by retailers. Unfortunately I do not live close enough to a Zara (probably a good thing really) and so I haven't really seen anything I like that much. Although, I do love these boots! I picked them up in the Topshop sale at the end of January, and usually I am a trainer person through and through, but these boots just do something for me, AND they were only £10!
lifestyle faves
Netflix Originals
Onto the more lifestyle-y bits. I have been more addicted to Netflix this month than I have ever been. Realistically it's because I have way too much spare time but... The series I have been loving are the Netflix originals, in particular, Orphan Black (so I think this started as an American BBC but Netflix picked it up I don't understand it really) and Riverdale.
I'll start with Orphan Black it's one of those programmes that has honestly never been done before and is just so filled with constant plot twists and surprises and turns, I don't want to give too much away, but essentially there are clones, and they're trying to find each other.
Riverdale is a bit more a 'stereotypical' american, murder, high school, mystery, drama... saying that though I'm obsessed, and my favourite thing about it is, episodes come out every Friday which is great because I can't binge watch all four seasons in a week (I definitely did not (did) do that for Orphan Black).
