FEBRUARY FAVORITES ! !

Yes, yes I am aware that it is March now and I'm a bit behind but I was really excited to do this post! Over the last month I have tried a lot of new products so I decided to write a post on my favorite ones. It is going to be a mixture of everything from hair care to skin care so I'm going to try divide it up into different catigories and do it that way, just to make it easier! Ok so, here we go!

MAKE-UP FAVORITES:

Bare Minerals Original Foundation.
~ Like you didn't see this one coming. It is my holy grail foundation, guaranteed quality every time, lasts all day. sweat proof, waterproof, smudge proof etc. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade.
~ Love this stuff so much! Anastasia is the brow queen! It's so easy to use, lasts all day, smudge proof and its really not expensive. I paid 11.40 for mine and when they said a little goes a long way they definitely meant it!

Benefit Roller Lash.
~ I was so convinced that I was going to hate this mascara, and it was another 'They're Real!' product, but oh my god I was so wrong! Absolutely love this mascara. Doing a review post on this in a few hours and I will link it here when I have it up.

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Collection.
~ As above mentioned, my holy grail is the BareMinerals, I rarely use liquid foundation but when I do, I use this one! I use the primer on the outer rim of my face, apply my foundation and then I apply the highlighting concealer under my eyes and wherever else I want to highlight & it really is magique!! Full coverage, weightless formula and it really lasts all day. I have oily skin so I end up looking dewy whether I like it or not and the pearly primer really illuminates your skin. Beautiful. I love it!

Mac Studio Sculpt Defining Powder.
~ This is my absolute new favorite powder contour! I use this in the shade dark, and it is technically a face powder-but I use it as a contour powder because the formula is much easier to blend than a normal bronzer!

Mac  15 X Eyeshadow in Warm Neautral.
~ This pallette is beautiful. I am obsessed with it. It can take you from a day look with matte browns to a dramatic nightime look with deep purples and black. It's a pricier more glam version of the Urban Decay Naked Pallette. 

SKIN-CARE FAVORITES:

BareMinerals Purifying Foam Cleanser.
~ This cleanser is the answer to my prayers. I have oily skin that is prone to hyper sensitivity along my cheekbones and jawline and while this cleanser is strong enough to remove makeup, its gentle enough to not aggrivate my skin. It has genuinely helped me clear my skin up the last 2 weeks and I will continue to re-purchase.

BareMinerals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer.
~ As mentioned about the cleanser above, this stuff is beautifully gentle on my hyper sensitive skin while also doing a fantastic job at re-hydrating my dry patches. The formula is weightless and not gloopy and sticky, I am totally sold on their skin care!!

BareMinerals Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream.
~ Like I said, I am so sold on BareMinerals skin care and it is SO affordable! I don't need an intense eye cream with all the anti aging properties in it as I am only 21, so this eye cream is perfect for me. It is weightless, soaks in instantly, really hydrates my eye area and deflates bag/hides dark circles. In love!

Boots Rosewater & Witch Hazel Mixture.
~ I picked myself up a bottle of this for like 3 euro when I bought the BareMinerals Skin Care line because I was annoyed that they don't sell toner. Toning is such an important step in your skin care and so many people don't do it because they think it dries out your skin, this is so wrong. Toner removes any oils and makeup traces left on your skin after cleansing and closes back up your pores. Anyways... This also really helped to clear up my skin and keep it nice and fresh. The rosewater is good for calming and reducing redness while witch hazel acts as an astringent on the skin, (means closes your pores) and is good for spots and black heads.

St. Ives Apricot Blemish Fighting Scrub.
~ I love this. It does such a good job at removing dead skin and dry patches while not being too harsh. It also leaves my skin feeling so fresh and bright, and the smell is so yummy. Big thumbs up from me!

TANNING FAVORITES:

Bbold Tanning Liquid
~ I used to hate developing tans simply because I was far too impatient for it to develop. However, I had heard really good reviews about this tan and decided to give it a try when I got a multi center gift card for christmas. OH MY. obsessed isn't even the word. It smells like freshly baked cookies. It driest almost instantly and the colour is so perfectly golden bronze. I can't even deal.

Cocoa Brown Lovely Legs
~ This requires alot of vigorous blending, but it is beautiful. I just love the colour and the smell and how well it lasts!

Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze
~ This is for when my skin is lacking a bit of moisture yet I still want to be tanned. This is extremely moisturizing, smells divine, is completely buildible and SO AFFORDABLE!

HAIR-CARE FAVORITES:

Dunnes Stores Tea tree & Coconut Oil Shampoo 
~ This stuff, is just too good. I have really oily skin, especially on my scalp and have to wash my hair everyday otherwise I literally look like I've dipped my head in a deep fat fryer. Until my wonderful mother brought this stuff home! It doesn't leave my hair all sticky like most hair products do, smells gorgeous, oh and its 79 CENT. Just sayin'.

Aussie Miracle Recharge Shine Leave In Conditioner
~ This. Stuff. The shine is real. My hair is so soft and so smooth. love it.
