1.
Becca Backlight Priming Filter
I always moisturise and prime my skin
before applying my foundation and I’ve been using this primer religiously for
the past month as I feel like it makes my skin really glow, it is said to ‘be makeup primer to help blur
imperfections and impart a radiant glow.’ It definitely does do that! It
creates the most gorgeous luminous glow. I have tried this under various liquid
foundations and powder foundations and it has worked well with medium and full
coverage foundations on my normal-to-dry skin. Even with medium-to-full
coverage, the added pearlescent glow of the primer comes through slightly. You
could even just apply to bare skin for an all over dewy finish or just use it under
your base of choice. Price wise it retails at £32 but it is definitely worth
it.
2. Garnier Micellar Water
I was a bit dubious about this product
before I tried it, I don’t know why because its brilliant stuff. I use this every morning on a cotton pad to
get rid of grime and dirt from around my eyes and face. It makes my face feel
refreshed and gives me a clean base ready for applying moisturiser, primer and
make up for the day. I also use this last thing at night after I’ve removed my
make up (with my Eve Lom facial cleanser which I blogged about last month) just
to get those last tough bits of mascara off from under my eyes. It smells so
nice and comes in different combinations, which I can’t wait to try. I wouldn’t
recommend this to take off all your make up as when I tried it took me about 5
cotton pads and it still didn’t fully remove it, but its great for removing
dirt and grime and small amounts of make up! You can pick this up fairly cheap,
I bought this from Superdrug for £3 on offer, bargain! Will definitely be purchasing
this again, think I will try the oil infused micellar water next!
3. Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream
I had been on the hunt for a good
moisturiser for ages, I kept finding some too thick, too greasy and took ages
to soak in, but I had read amazing reviews about this so I bought the 50ml pot
to try and see if I liked it, however I now wish I bought the 125ml pot, I’m
definitely converted to this, my skin has been so much better since using this.
I often get dry skin so this works well for me, the moisturiser is really lightweight and is thin in
consistency, which makes it easy to absorb into the skin. I have even converted
my boyfriend into using this and his skin is so much better too! It makes my
skin feel so soft and plump. It also acts as a great base for under makeup. I paid £24.50 for the 50ml pot but I
recommend buying the 125ml pot as you get more for your money, this is a must
in my skincare routine and I will definitely be purchasing this again.
4. Shu Uemura Art of Hair Silk Bloom Shampoo
& Conditioner
I have been using this shampoo and
conditioner since September last year, but I’ve not yet blogged about it so I
thought I would add it to my February fave's because it is a favourite after
all. But since using this my hair has grown loads and has been in great
condition, it leaves my hair feeling silky smooth and I don’t need to wash my
hair half as much as I did. I bleached my hair years ago and it absolutely
ruined my hair, so now I’m always really cautious about what I use on my hair
and take good care in what I use. This has definitely helped bringing my hair
into a healthy state and I’m now converted, the shampoo lasts me 3 months and
the conditioner lasts me 5-6 months so its well worth the money, I purchased
this from Look Fantastic at £45 for both and will definitely be buying again.
5. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat
This is one of my make up holy grails! This
is a must in my make up bag, I currently have the shade ‘iconic nude’ which
goes with any pink or nude shades of lipstick. The rich velvety pencil glides
on so smoothly, is really pigmented and has a waterproof formula so it doesn’t
smudge and it lasts all day, which I love. It gives my lips great shape for the
perfect pout and I’m yet to come across another lip pencil as good as this! Its
my birthday next month so can’t wait to buy more colours. These pencils are £16
but they are really high quality and last ages so
Have you tried any of these? What do you
think and what are your favourites?
