@AlexBT The Hourglass Ambient Lighting blush line is one of my faves, I just haven’t tried their blush sticks yet. I’m sure I’d love those too!

@AlexBT I finally tried Aquaphor and I must say I'm obsessed.  I really enjoy the texture.  Great for dabbing on my lips and upper lip area in the evening.  And it cleared up a crack I had on the corner of my mouth.  I've also been using it around my nostrils to keep dryness away.  I already bought a second tube.  Many thanks to @WinglessOne for mentioning it.

@greeneyedgirl107  Yay, I'm glad Aquaphor works for you! I know I frequently say this but, that stuff's my skin savior. 💙

@WinglessOne You were right on the money - as usual!  I'm kicking myself for now trying it sooner!  💕

My February favorites are these: 

OUAI Detox Clarifying Shampoo with Apple Cider Vinegar  which I ordered immediately after I tried a foil sample I got in a recent Sephora order.

Gucci Lunar New Year Rouge à Lèvres Voile Sheer Lipstick 203 Mildred Rosewood  which is just so pretty, and I love that Gucci lipsticks tend to last a while and aren't drying.

fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm which is perfect for dry, winter lips.

Hmmmm @txcatx you have certainly influenced my lip choices in the past with Shiseido VisionAiry Gel Lipstick Bullet Train for one. Looks like I may need to take a look at the Gucci, too!

[txcatx]

@eshoe That Shiseido lipstick might still be my favorite lipstick formula, but I do really love the Gucci sheer lipstick formula (and the gorgeous packaging)!

[eshoe]

Yes, @txcatx - I think Gucci’s packaging is gorgeous, and it feels weighty, too. I like that in a fancy lipstick.

[missjeanie]

@txcatx Love this Gucci Lip!  Thank you so much for influencing mine!

[txcatx]

Glad you love the lipstick, too, @missjeanie! 

[AlexBT]

@txcatx I've heard so many good things about the Gucci lipsticks! If I didn't already have sooOooOo many lipsticks that I don't wear often enough... 😂

[Mellmars1185]

@AlexBT There is always the 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge . This has been helping me reach for shades I dont pick up often enough!

[alexasteph]

@txcatx Love the Fresh Sugar lip balm line! If I wasn’t such a massive lip balm addict it’d be the only thing I buy but… I have about 6 tubes of random balms in different locations and it’s a bit pricy to do that with Fresh hahaha. 

[txcatx]

@alexasteph Same! My sister-in-law gave me a mini set of the Fresh lip balms as part of a Christmas gift, and I have them scattered in different locations. I haven't used the Fresh lip balms in a few years and forgot how much I love them!

@AlexBT Here are my current favorites for the month

La Mer The Hydrating Illuminator 1.4 oz/ 41 mL 

Bio Oil

Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream 

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner Black 

Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask 

Not pictured but also loving from @eshoe Necessaire body wash in Bergamot

Kopari lip glossy in Champagne 

[eshoe]

I love the Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner Black too, @SportyGirly125. Happy to hear you are enjoying the Nécessaire. I just restocked my Sandalwood in the larger refill size. That Sulwhasoo is great, too…and the La Mer. Looks like I will need to try the Bio Oil!

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe Bio Oil has helped me during my pregnancies with my stretch marks looking fainter and also with my c section scar.  

[eshoe]

It sounds like a great one to try then, @SportyGirly125. Next Target run!

[AlexBT]

@SportyGirly125 Yessss I'm still loving my La Mer Illuminator, which you inspired me to try! I love mixing it with my foundation. And the same tube has lasted me a long time!

[SportyGirly125]

@AlexBT Yay!!! So glad to hear.  Yes I agree it does last a long time.

@AlexBT  I see a little bit of a trend with this months favs!!! That wander mascara sounds good. Maybe I need to try it!!
