Monthly Favorites: February 2025

Hi there, BIC! Can you feel the love in the air? 💕 No, it’s not romance… it’s infatuation with all the fab products I’m falling for this February! And even though I’ve somehow managed to keep my spending in check this month (very out of character for me), I’m happy to say that I’ve done a pretty good job of finding new faves in my existing inventory to celebrate lately. Doesn’t it feel good to shop your own stash sometimes?! No judgement if you’ve done the opposite – I’d love to live vicariously through your new hauls. 😉 

Check out some of my noteworthy February favorites:

• Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow 11S Bronze 
• Lux Unfiltered N°32 Hydrating Gradual Self Tanning Lotion in Santal 
• MARA Chia + Moringa® Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil 4 oz / 120 mL 
• ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Mini On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray 1 oz/ 46 mL 
• Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Hair Cream 5 oz/ 150 mL

A favorite and bonus points sounds like a win !  @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @CorgiMommy 🙏🙏 I am right on track with@AlexBT and trying to be mindful of my spending. I think I've done well this month and I'm happy to have new and old items make it to my loves this go around.

Such a darling little TF bottle @CynthieLu ! Good shampoo! 

[CynthieLu]

It is a little cutie 🥰 @Sunnysmom., thank you.  The minis always seem to steal my heart.

I love Oribe Supershine products @AlexBT but have yet to try the hair cream so will have to check it out. Agree that the Armani shadow is a beautiful easy formula. The Mara cleansing oil looks interesting! 

[AlexBT]

@Sunnysmom Yes I wanted to switch things up from my usual Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm, and the Mara cleansing oil is similarly great at removing makeup as long as you're prepared to do a double-cleanse! I like to use the Mara has a first step, and then cleanse again with Youth To The People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser 

[Sunnysmom]

Sounds like a terrific combo @AlexBT , I’ll have to check into! I’ve been using Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil 13.53 fl oz / 400 mL and Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam for awhile and I always need options! 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh this is the sound of another Armani makeup product making it to my must try list. @Sunnysmom. @AlexBT 😄🙈

[Sunnysmom]

@CynthieLu It also makes for a terrific eye shadow base , really holds any shadow very well. I love Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow 68S Tobacco .

@AlexBT @Here are my favorites for the month.  I do have the MAC Luar bag just haven’t taken a pic of it.

OoooOooooOoohh @SportyGirly125 amazing favs. I am very very envious of your mask set 👀👀👀

[SportyGirly125]

@jaaayp thank you. I got the mask set on sale from Amazon. 

[CookieGirl1]

@SportyGirly125 do you think that the Moroccanoil L’Originale Eau de Parfum accurately mimics the scent of the hair products?  I've seen mixed opinions.

[SportyGirly125]

@CookieGirl1 I think it’s really close. I tested it before I bought it though. 

[CorgiMommy]

Great favorites,  it looks like you are been trying a number of new products @SportyGirly125 

[SportyGirly125]

@CorgiMommy Thank you 

[AlexBT]

@SportyGirly125 That's a stellar February haul!!!

[SportyGirly125]

@AlexBT Thank you

Phenomenal faves, fabulous photo @AlexBT! Love how you've positioned all those beauties 😍 and the background and lighting is fantastic! 📷

I'm partial to Armani to begin with and their liquid eyeshadows are really great for that quick and easy, one-and-done look, or for pairing with other shadows. I was so happy to see Mara at Sephora; they have so many wonderful goodies! That ONE/SIZE setting spray really does keep it all in place, doesn't it? I struggled with it a bit at first, but layering a hydrating mist under it has made it more friendly to my dry skin. 

[AlexBT]

@itsfi Yes you nailed it re: the Armani shadows! Today I used it all over the lid and then added a little lashline and outer corner dimension with Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Cream Eyeshadow Burnished Bronze 🤩

[CorgiMommy]

That liquid eyeshadow has my name written all over it @AlexBT
