February Favorites

So it is nearing the end of the month again and I decided that since I haven't done a monthly favorites for a while that it's about time that I did. There have been quite a few things that I have been loving this month, from beauty to books, so keep reading for a look into what has been tickling my pickle this month.

Beauty

I have been drawn back to my trusty Mac Creme de la Femme this month. Back in summer this used to be my everyday lipstick but was traded out for Rimmel 107 during the autumn months. Since the weather is getting nicer and it's beginning to go into spring then it is the perfect lipstick to add a subtly hint of colour to the lips.



I have been using a new face powder this month and I am pretty sure that there hasn't been a day where I have been wearing makeup that I have not used this powder since I got it. The Seventeen Miracle Matt Pressed Powder is simply brilliant, I have never found a drugstore powder with such a great durability before. I can dust on a bit of this powder in the morning before school or work and my face remains shine free for a good 5 hours at least afterwards. And at £3.99 it is hardly going to break the bank.



Skincare

After a couple of moths of varying products I seem to have a pretty goof skincare routine down now as a result of a few new great products I have picked up. The products that I personally think have been a saving grace for my skin recently are a few from the Body Ship Tea Tree range. The three that I use religiously are the Skin Clearing Toner which is great for oily skin as it completely mattifies the face and leaves it feeling clean and fresh, the Skin Clearing Lotion hydrates the skin and also helps with shine control and I also swear by the Blemish Fade Night Lotion. It initially doesn't appear to have any effect but after applying and leaving to soak in, your skin just feels so much smoother. 



Obviously I have to insert  a few sneaky lush products in here as well. This month I have been obsessed with the limited edition Valentines lip scrub The Kiss. It tastes like cupcakes. That should be enough for you to understand my love of it. Also I tried out the Blackberry bath bomb for the first time as I was intrigued by the fact it contained bergamot oil which is said to be a natural anxiety remedy and lets just say I will certainly be picking up some more soon. 





Haircare

What a surprise, more Body Shop products. When I was down in Glasgow earlier on in the month I obviously stopped off in one of their stores and made the mistake of smelling the banana hair products. I say mistake as I am pretty sure no shampoo will ever measure up now. I absolutely love the smell of artificial banana, you know that banana milkshake smell, so I feel prey to the pretty smell and picked up the shampoo and conditioner. While undoubtedly a more expensive option considering the size of the product and my insanely thick long hair, I cannot get past how good this makes my hair feel.



 Book

Just yesterday I started reading Fractured by Dani Atkins and while I haven't got that far into it yet I am already loving it.



Tv

During my days off ill this month I decided to check out the spin off show of Grey's Anatomy that features one of my favorite characters Dr Addison Montgomery. Safe to say in the space of two days I watched two seasons and am now well into the third and still loving it.



So that is everything that I have been loving this month, feel free to leave some things that you have been loving in the comments.
