February Favourites: Beauty

Happy Valentine's Day y'all. I hope you are having a lovely day with you loved ones whether they're  family, friends or partners ♡

Okay so I was up this morning thinking about the jobs I need to get done and then I thought about doing a 'Favourites' post. I don't think I've ever done one of these so enjoy!

So these products have been used pretty much everyday for the past month. They are listed below:

1.MAC blush in Peaches - ( I LOVE this!Why did I not know about it before?!) It's a sheer tone blush which means it comes up light but you can build up the colour. The colour payoff is beautiful- really natural looking.

2.Sue Moxley Baked Highlighter in Miami  - I purchased this about 2 years ago and it is still going strong. The highlight is subtle and provides a really nice glow when accentuating the cheekbones, nose and cupids bow. It's  a shame this is not available anymore but it just means I'll be getting more use out of my 'the Balm Mary Lou - Manizer  highlighter' :)

3.Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit - I adore this palette. It has a range of shades to suit lots of skin tones. It really provides some good shades to contour the face well. I use it everyday!

4.Anastasia Beverley Hills DipBrow Pomade in Chocolate - Okay so yes I heard the hype about this product and was pretty amazed when seeing the results and staying power on makeup artists on YouTube. At that time I was using the Sleek Brow Kit which was fine but not so great for longivity so I bought it and tried out. It does require playing around and experimenting. I can safely say after a month I can apply it well and my eyebrows still look natural.

5.Laura Mercier Eyelash Curler - I LOVE this eyelash curler. It has to have been the best used so far and it curls my lashes SO well. I used to use Models Own and then tried Sephora but I found them too stiff but the LM one is small, compact and gently curls the lashes well.

6.Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder in #1 - I had read from  a lot of blogs that setting your undereyes is key. So I initially tried the Ben NYE Luxury Powder in Banana which is okay but I much prefer the LM one. It is lighter, silkier and brightens the eyes subtly.

7.MAC Satin Lipstick in Sushi Kiss - Another purchase I am glad I made. I am really loving corally/orangey/pinky lips at the moment. I guess I am already feeling Springtime :) This is a beautiful colour paired with my Peaches Blush gives me a nice glow. I do layer it with a gloss which I will mention below.

8. Barry M Lip gloss in Coral - I have always been eyeing this colour but never bought it until a month ago and I have literally been wearing it ever since. I remember reading a blog by blogger Tanya Burr and thinking it looked really pretty. It is really pretty when paired with coral/pink lipstick. It lasts for about 1-3 hours at the most on me before I have to reapply. It is such a gorgeous shade and a gloss I will definitely repurchase.

So I really hope you liked reading about my favourites as much as I have selecting and writing about them.

On a side note, school has been crazily busy and it's sad to say I am not as ecstatic as I was about it when I started in August but I will save the reasons why for another blogpost.  On a more exciting note, I am off to Oman Insh'allah next week when February Break starts which I am SO looking forward to.

Love & blessings,
Sara xx
