February Favorites!
I'm so excited to finally get back on my blog and share some of my favorite products from the month of February! Please comment down below on what products you've been loving.Unfortunately, for the time being, my posts/videos won't be very frequent due to my super busy school schedule. However, I hope to be post more blog posts in the near future! I'm thinking a bronzer/contour routine for my next post.
Let's get on to these awesome products:
1. Nars All Day Luminous Foundation - Link
First off, I love that this foundation has a pump! Yes, finally NARS got with the program and added a pump on their new foundation. A++ for that. If you watched my video accompanying this blog post, you saw that I talked about the different skin types that can or cannot wear this foundation. Although everyone could wear this foundation, it's going to be harder for dry-skinned gals to wear this. The foundation definitely can cling to any dry patches, so thorough exfoliation is key for anyone with drier skin. However, if you're an oily beast (like me) then you will appreciate the coverage and weightlessness of this foundation. It looks so watery in the bottle, but it has such great coverage and makes me look luminous and keeps my oil at bay. Love, love, love it.
2. Bobbi Brown Skin Weightless Powder Foundation - Link
If you can't tell, I've been on a foundation kick lately, and I've gone from loving some affordable, drugstore, foundations, to picking up some high end foundations. However, the drugstore really doesn't carry a powder foundation that has any good reviews. Since I'm oily and the weather is hopefully going to get warmer someday (Come on, Kansas) I wanted to try a powder foundation. I also thought this would be a quick, easy thing to throw on for busy mornings. I am BLOWN away by how awesome this foundation is. Bobbi Brown, you hit this one out of the park. I'd say this is my favorite product out of all my favorites. I haven't put this stuff down. It gives me a full coverage look if I want it, and it also can be applied lightly over my other liquid foundations to give me better coverage. I've been using this over my NARS foundation, and it's such a beautiful combination. I could go on and on about this powder, it's THAT good. For real.
3. Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Cream Bronzer in Warm Tan - Link
This stuff is like buttah, yes, buttah. So easy to blend and work with, this is a beginner's dream. I was hesitant about using a cream, but this stuff is such a drugstore gem. Blend so easily and gives a great sun-kissed look. Anxious to use this in the summer! Plus, it's so affordable! Check this stuff out at your local Target, you won't be disappointed.
4. Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum - Link
This stuff is so cute, and it smells like bubblegum heaven. It's such a quick step that can make your lips look so smooth and soft, getting rid of that winter dry skin that everyone loves, (not!). I think one pot of this stuff will last me forever and ever, since I only have to use the tiniest bit to exfoliate my lips. They also have different scents of this lip scrub, so if you're not a fan of bubblegum, check out the other scents (mint). This product quickly has become a staple in my makeup routine!
5. Belitae Vitamin C Serum - Link
I'm anxious to put this on my face every time after washing my face. It has already started making my face seem brighter, and has helped with my acne scars. Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid are great things for your face and they help with so many issues (wrinkles, dark spots, etc.) I highly suggest you try out this serum or another vitamin C serum, just make sure to apply sunscreen after using this product if you plan on going outside.
6. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul - Link
To me, this color is the most natural, flattering color in the entire line of these lip products. It's such a pretty pink color and it lasts on my lips for a long time. I exfoliate my lips with my lush lip scrub and apply a small amount of chapstick, and then apply this lip cream on top. For some reason, I think this color makes my lips look bigger, which is a great bonus. Must be the color. :) Anyways, these lip creams are so fun to put on because they feel like mousse on your lips. They're also super affordable!
