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 Summer Skin Hydrating Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream in Santal 
• MARA Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover with Chia + Moringa 4 oz / 120 mL 
• ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Mini On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray 
• Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Hair Cream 5 oz/ 150 mL

The Haus Labs concealer was one of my most oft-reached for concealers last year @Sunnysmom; it's in the tops for me as far as concealers go. The Isamaya is great for my undereyes; it's more of a color-corrector that also helps to conceal and brighten. I can go with just using it for my undereyes most days as the shade match works well for me, but I may need to pair it with a concealer when allergies hit or I didn't get enough sleep the night before, and I have more darkness/dark circles to address. I'd say it functions similar to color correctors from OleHenriksen or Bobbi Brown though the consistency is thinner and not tacky-to-the-touch (or maybe less so). The coverage on this one isn't enough to cover dark/sun/acne spots or redness - Haus Labs is better for that.

Thank you @itsfi , very helpful. I love BB corrector so I’ll have to check this one out soon. I always need to use another concealer with it so this sounds like a good alternative. Love the idea of brightening effect you mention.

@catalana87 Yay! Thanks for sharing your faves! I just got Saie Warmglow as well but still trying to decide the best way for me to use it - I think mixing with my foundation will be the key for me!

[itsfi]

You have some fabulous beauties in your routine @catalana87. 😍 Seeing the Lawless powder on your list is reminding me to re-incorporate it into my makeup routine. I tried it for the first time last year and was really impressed by it! 

[catalana87]

Thank you! I love how it gives a little coverage while blurring imperfections 😉

[CynthieLu]

You've put together a whole arsenal of excellence. @catalana87 👌I really enjoy MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Color Pencil Long-Lasting Lip Liner 606 Wherever Walnut, it's such a classic shade. 

[catalana87]

Totally! I always go back to it 🙌

[Sunnysmom]

Great faves @catalana87 , how do you find the weight of the new Kosas powder- is it light? I am interested in trying the new Ilia shadow sticks too after trying a few samples included with a purchase. 

[catalana87]

Thank you! I find the kosas powder very lightweight. I am new in the loose powder category but I find it very light and it sets the makeup very nicely - it is not flat matte but still perfects the texture and pores. Highly recommend 😉

[CorgiMommy]

Nice to have a routine you can go to @catalana87 

[catalana87]

Yes, it's a game changer to get my makeup done quickly in the morning 🤪

Some kind of new, one old, but well-loved items.

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup- CN-Ivory- a freebie from Ulta. It matches me perfectly and has a nice little glow.

Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation in Ivory- this one is very, very close to matching but adds a bit of color.

Lisa Eldridge Vega eye palette- a great set that’s subtle.

DE Mellow Maria Cream Cleanser- gentle and doesn’t dry my skin. It has that yummy vanilla scent that their Silk Amino shampoo has.

Lawless Overnight Lip Mask- Birthday Cake- it works and has a very sweet vanilla scent.

DE Therabu Reparative Hand Cream- absorbs well and smells of vanilla.

@Ispend2much6 Great faves - thanks for sharing! I am a big Lawless lip mask fan as well ❤️

[jaaayp]

Awesome favs @Ispend2much6 ! Freebie foundation from ulta?! 

[Ispend2much6]

@jaaayp  It was one of their gift choices! Thanks!

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 Love the Chantecaille future skin gel foundation. 

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125  I had it for awhile before I started using it. It had been opened to try it when I bought it. Do you find that it oxidizes?

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 @Mine doesn’t oxidize on me.
