February Favorite's 2013 ♥

February was a pretty short month. I didn't have many favorites for last month but I still wanted to share what I've been using and loving the most in Feb. Some of the products I have been loving were also in my January Favorites 2013. I just can't seem to shake them off! ^^

Skin Care:

Simple Smoothing Eye Balm 

This eye balm has been really helpful for my tired eyes. I like that it de-puffs my eyes and keeps my delicate eye area smooth throughout the day. I like to use this eye balm in the mornings and at night.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

I've been using this cream for about a year now and love it! My skin has been extremely dry this winter and I find that this ultra repair cream helps. I like to apply this cream on my face area.

Carmex Lip Balm

You guys all know about carmex! It's great stuff for your lips. Just like my face, my lips have also been dry and chapped. I like that this lip balm is very soothing. I like to use my DIY lip scrub (I will do a post on that soon!) and then apply a layer of this baby. Works great!

Makeup:

theBalm Put a Lid on It Eye Primer (travel size)

I received this in my January Birchox 2013. I actually prefer this to my Urban Decay Primer Potion. I find a lot of the primers I have are not so good for my oily eye lids. So this one seems to work really well for me. Keeps my lids oil-free and shadow in place. This travel size tube has been holding up pretty well too.

Bare Minerals Well Rested

This mineral powder works so well along with my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer. I like how it brightens up my dark circles and makes me look wide awake. 

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara

I like to use this clear mascara to set my brows in place after I fill them in. It seems to do a really good job at keeping my brows tamed. I also like how the wand is small, so it's a prefect size for my brows.

Lorac Pro Palette

Do I even need to explain why this is a favorite?! I love that this palette has both matte and shimmer colors. Great combinations of beautiful neutral colors. I never used to love matte colors until I got the Naked palette. So I was happy when this one came out with more then two matte shades. I also like to use some of the matte brown colors to fill in my brows. 

Nails:

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

You guys know how I love this stuff! This stuff saves my life, well my nails. I'm always messing up my nail polish, cause I'm always in a rush. So this stuff drys my nails super fast! Love it!

Drugstore Haul | Beauty

It's been a while since I actually went out and bought some makeup. So I thought "why not treat myself?" So I did. But see the thing with me is I like stopping for makeup and beauty items that are on sale. When it comes to new cosmetics, I usually get on the bandwagon better late. So I'm pretty happy to get my hands on some new and old cosmetics, while not really old, but you know what I mean!

Sultry Makeup and Voluminous Curls

Hey guys! How was everyone's Valentine's Day? The man and I pretty much did nothing. We just wanted to laze around the house. As long as were together then I'm a happy gal! I'm not much of a chocolate lover but he did get me some chocolates. I just got back from Rite Aid and all the Valentine's Day chocolates and stuff are 50 - 75% off. If you didn't receive any chocolates then this is your chance! ^_^

Okay so for Valentine's I wanted to change it up a bit. I actually asked my boyfriend what type of makeup style he wanted to see on me, and he said something with dark lips and smokey eyes. So I came up with this look! I'm pretty much in love with this look. I think the deep burgundy lipstick is the icing on the cake. I love it so much that I will be doing a blog post on that soon.
