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 Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ 1.5 oz / 45 mL 
• tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Mixed Berries 

Which beauty favorites did you find “Loves List” worthy this month? Reply below and let us know – and don’t forget to tag those products with the “#” symbol (hair, makeup, fragrance, wellness, skincare, etc.)!

What are some good mascaras, but not too expensive? I have been trying to find one but I can’t.

Maybelline sky high is so good and it’s quite cheap

I have the most pin straight lashes but i started using the l’oréal lash paradise mascara and omg us works soo good and it’s only like $12😁

Hi! I have glasses so I use clear mascara. It works wonders!

[Claribeth]

I was looking at the Allure winner products -eyes section- and they had a Mabelline mascara! I was surprised because it was only $15.00.

@skinacrelover Sephora Lashcraft is actually really good. Pretty inexpensive too.

Shout out to Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz / 50 mL for February! In January, I got burned by the cold winter air on my undereye area which has never happened to me. Lesson to bundle up better in the future! It wasn't frostbite because nothing went numb but it was so painful at times. At first I thought the skin was just dry so I applied oil - fyi never apply oil to a burn area - which just worsened the situation. When I figured out I was dealing with cold burns, I used aloe vera gel, cranked up a humidifier and when the area had stopped constantly peeling, I switched to Dr. Jart. I tend to use lighter creams but I knew I would have to go super protective. After weeks of babying, my skin finally went back to normal. Going without my vitamin C serums and retinol was a real drag so many thanks to ceramidins!!! ❤️

Quick and easy favorites used every day I think! 

MERIT Brow 1980 Volumizing Eyebrow Pomade Gel Black Brown the best I’ve used for my rather sparce brows. 

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter Mesmerize the prettiest softest highlighter I’ve used in a long time.

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Precision Highlighter Brush debated this for so long and it was a great buy, perfect easy, light touch.

ILIA True Skin Serum Concealer with Vitamin C Chicory SC1 love the light to medium coverage that isn’t drying for my delicate eye areas and other little spots that need some attention. Lol

#Hourglass Unlocked™ Satin Crème Lipstick Fauna 340 really enjoy this formula to give the best translucent wine stain look I love. Every color is sooo good! 

(Honorable mentions to Ursa Major Golden cream and SkinCeuticals eye cream. Love the consistency/ effectiveness of these and so wish at Sephora some day! Hint hint! )

Fauna and Mesmerize

I love the formula of the merit brow @Sunnysmom , I just wish they made a lighter shade.

[Sunnysmom]

It’s such a good one I agree @faeriegirl . Oh shoot, I guess you are pretty fair. It’s so tricky! It’s kind of goopy at first but I like it once it calms down. Lol. Just like a good mascara I suppose! 😊

I really like the new Tj's body cream as well @SportyGirly125 !

[lmaster]

@SportyGirly125 great favorites! I bet the daisy version is lovely

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster Thank you. I think the owner based the scent off the MJ Daisy perfume 

[lmaster]

Love that scent @SportyGirly125 

[Mellmars1185]

@SportyGirly125 The Glossier packaging is really neat. I would not have guessed that was a hand cream! The Cherry Blossom and Almond Oil combination sounds like it smells divine. 

[SportyGirly125]

@Mellmars1185 It sucks that’s Sephora isn’t carrying the hand cream. I think it’s the third one I have bought for myself.

I love mine @SportyGirly125 @Mellmars1185
