Monthly Favorites: February 2023 Edition!

Monthly Favorites - February 2023

Where did you go, February? This short month has surely whizzed right by, but I still had plenty of time to rack up my share of beauty faves! This month was all about second chances – giving a new shot to products in my stash that I hadn’t taken the time to really figure out, style properly, or layer correctly when I first scooped them up. It’s not always love at first sight when it comes to my beauty purchases, so I’m sure glad I stuck with them!

Here are the products I’ve been reaching for during the month of February:

• COLOR WOW Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray 5 oz/ 150 mL 
• Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid 
• SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultra Glow Serum: Glow + Strengthen Vitamin C Serum 
• Supergoop! Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40 Mineral Sunscreen 1.5 oz / 45 mL 
• tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Mixed Berries

@heartsmyface that is so interesting. I stopped using Cetaphil ‘gentle’ remover after wondering if that was a possible cause. I use Bag Balm on my pups’ paws so maybe I could use that! Lol. I will be looking into horse oil too tho I’m not sure what I think! 😆 Glad you’ve found relief!

I am so intrigued by the Frandy Li Scalp Palette @heartsmyface . It looks like an amazing product! And that fan brush...... ❤️❤️❤️

[heartsmyface]

@Saradestin  It’s really good!  you need to wash your brush with straight alcohol which is the only down side but I’m fine with that given how beautiful it looks on.  I ordered a bunch of cheaper synthetic brow brushes to save my good ones.

I'm distracted by the pretty brushes 🌈 ....again 😆

Kk the draw your own Hair Line/Brow is fascinating @heartsmyface I can see some great benefits to having that magic in your kit.

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  It’s so fun!  This is my first alcohol activated anything and I love it!  
Ha, benefits -I can draw me a mustache and go out in disguise!  🤣

[Saradestin]

You are hilarious @heartsmyface 😂🤣😂🤣

[heartsmyface]

@Saradestin  Ha, yeah, I don’t get to have any fun I until mid March but it’s something to look forward to;) 

[CynthieLu]

Lol, oh the mental images 😁 @heartsmyface It's endless fun, creatively shaped sideburns ⚡️ the sky is the limit here 😆

@heartsmyface All of these items are really interesting. They are all new to me, and I like learning what all of them do! I can understand how that brush holder can be really handy.

[heartsmyface]

@Mellmars1185  The brush holder blew my mind! It’s so simple and genius at the same time!

This month, I am loving my spf by Vivier. It goes really well under makeup. I found a new lipstick, the #Too Faced Cocoa Bold Cream Lipstick Ganache that smells like chocolate. I really like the shade. I am using a sample of Guerlain Allegoria Manderine Basilic (which i am unable to tag here. I will tag below). 

I also have been reaching for nars Radiant Creamy Color Corrector in light. I use this before foundation and add some setting powder. I find it brightens my face a little. 

I did a clean up and organized all of my brushes. I used the Sephora Solid Brush Cleanser. I love this and have been buying it for years.

Nice favorites @Mellmars1185 and good reminder to clean my brushes. 😭 A lippie that tastes like chocolate?! I’m in ! Yummy! 😋

[Mellmars1185]

@Sunnysmom Thank you! 

[Kim888]

That is one of my favorite color correctors as well @Mellmars1185 ! It’s so easy to work with. 

Ole Henrickson just dropped an eye one and Tarte and Givenchy look like they are coming with ones soon so I’ll be curious about those 

[Mellmars1185]

@Kim888 Ooo, that is exciting. Do you use an eye cream or a primer underneath? I never used to, but I am thinking it may help to prevent creasing? I use a setting powder, but I need more help as my skin is super oily.

[Kim888]

@Mellmars1185 @I usually do moisturize and sometimes I also pat a little blurring primer (like the tatcha) in to help with smoothing before applying which I think helps stop some settling 

[Saradestin]

Gorgeous favorites @Mellmars1185! I also love Guerlain Allegoria Manderine Basilic ❤️

[Mellmars1185]

@Saradestin Thank you! A little goes a long way. I just put a spritz on one wrist and dab it on other wrist and neck. I have always wanted to try the coconut one 

[CynthieLu]

Too Faced makes things smell so yummy 😍 @Mellmars1185 , You had a good month of finding new faves.

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you! 🩷💞🩷

[heartsmyface]

@Mellmars1185  The urge to buy that Nars colour corrector is strong!  Is it as budge proof as the original concealer?
