Favs From February

The end of another month only means one thing... A favourites post of course. I never seem to accumulate enough things over the course of the month to be able to speak about them when a new month starts, but hey, that's a good thing in my eyes (or so my bank account thinks). Here are a mixture of things that I have rediscovered or have come to love throughout the month of February.  

Mac 'Retro' Lipstick and Mac 'Chicory' Lip Liner - These two I have had in my collection for aaaages, but are products that I never find myself reaching for. On a whim, this month I have been trying more shades for my lips than my usual go-to combo, and have fallen back in love with this pair. Together they make a beautiful, muted brick red/brown shade. Nothing too bright or bold, but definitely a step away from the nude side of things. 

Lingerie - Is this TMI? Oh well. Recently I have been well and truly into pretty, lace underwear sets - this one being just one gorgeous set that I have picked up. This number is from Asos (shock) and looks cute under little strappy tops, and even slouchy, baggy jumpers. Asos have so many beautifully detailed pieces on their website at the moment. If you're in the market for some cute bras, take yourself over there now! There is definitely something about wearing delicate, matching underwear that makes me feel like I have everything together haha. 

Flowers - I am never usually one to have flowers in my room, but this month the change was made. Flowers are a great way to add more colour and life into a room, in a temporary way. The smell and sight of them is definitely something I have enjoyed this month. Especially as Spring is slowly but surely creeping upon us all, flowers have made a lovely new addition to the corner of my chest of drawers. 

Clothes - As I have mentioned on my blog before, I am the worst when it comes to finding new pieces for my wardrobe. I am just so fussy, and consider where I will truly wear something before I make a purchase. But as of late, I have found SO many pieces that I just couldn't be without. This Topshop dotty cami has been one of them. The button down detail is gorgeous, and I am a fan of light, floaty tops to wear with jeans and sandals. You'll definitely be seeing a lot of this one in the warmer months to come.

February Favs

I never usually tend to have favourites that stick out to me each month, (being a student I can't justify spending money on new products each month haha!) but I know when I like something if it's something I have been using consistently.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

Being the first high end foundation that I have ever purchased, I was expecting big things. I am currently on the second bottle of the stuff and I cant get enough! The formula isn't exactly sheer, it's definitely a medium buildable coverage, which I like. It blends out seamlessly and gives a dewy, brightening finish. I 100% want to try more Nars products.

Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in Pure Hollywood

This muted nude/pale pink lipstick goes with any eyeshadow look, whether it be bold or natural. It dries down quickly, but isn't drying. It's something I've been wearing if I am running out of time in the mornings as I can apply it super quickly, and don't need to worry about it ending up all over my face haha.

Hugo Boss The Scent fragrance

Peaches is what I call this perfume, because it smells of exactly that! It's so fresh, sweet and yummy!

Mac Whirl lip liner

Mac lip liners are some of the best, and Whirl has been in my collection a while now. It goes well with the Anastasia liquid lipstick, glides on effortlessly and stays put.

Mac single shadow in Charcoal Brown

I don't tend to use single eyeshadows on a daily basis purely because using a palette is less time consuming. I can't be dealing with searching for single shadows but I have been enjoying using this matte shadow. It works well with any eyeshadow look making it seem more smoky and put together.

Green Tea

Personally, green tea has never been my thing. But as of late, I have been really enjoying it! It's really refreshing and so good with a bit of honey.

Riverdale

Riverdale is a American Teen Drama Netflix series about a murder investigation in the town of Riverdale. It's been hard to wait every Friday for a new episode - I just want to binge watch it all, haha!
