Hey guys!
February flew by for me! Midterms and deadlines started this week and I cannot wait until my spring break.
I received some lovely blogger mail in February that I have been using almost daily along with some new favourites that I kept on going back to over the past few weeks.
MyKitCo (Pro) 1.15 Brush
So I know this is a shadow brush but I've been using it as my highlighter brush for a few weeks now and I am obsessed. The brush is dense enough to give a gorgeous glow without being overbearing and I will definitely be using this for my hightlight from now on.
1.15 Pro is available from MyKitCo's website for €17.55.
Sensodyne Repair and Protect Mini
During February I was away for a weekend and I had a few sleepovers with my gals as well so this toothpaste came in so handy! Instead of having to bring a whole tube of toothpaste I threw this handy mini into my overnight bag and didn't think twice!
Mini toothpastes are available in Boots nationwide and some supermarkets.
Artistry Shimmer Powder Eye Duo - Dreamy Pink
I received a gorgeous pigment duo from Artistry's limited edition Modern Icon Collection in a press pack this month and the Dreamy Pink pigment is my go-to highlight for my inner corner and brow bone. The pigmentation in this product is really good and the shimmer catches the light at any angle. I am also in love with the little brush attached to the lid - can all pigments come with one please! It makes life so much easier.
Artistry Signature Color's Shimmer Powder Eye Duo (it came with a blue shimmer as well) is available for €49.50.
Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation - 201 Classic Beige
The sleepovers came hand-in-hand with nights out so I had fake tan on for the majority of the month. I mix whatever foundation I'm currently wearing with Rimmel's Match Perfection in Classic Beige when I'm wearing tan so my face actually matches the rest of my body!
The foundation has buildable coverage which I love and lasts all night until the early am!
Match Perfection is available from Boots for €10.49 and is currently buy one get one half price!
Kara Wispy Eyelashes
Sticking with the nights out trend, I have been making my way through my stash of these wispy lashes this month. I love how natural yet dramatic looking they are when paired with a smokey eye and for only $1, what could go wrong?
I will definitely be stocking up on these lashes soon!
Check out ShopMissA's collection of lashes to find the perfect pair for you.
Mad Beauty Grape Sanitiser and Pug Nail Files
Mad Beauty were kind enough to send me a fabulous blogger pack at the start of February (full review coming soon don't worry!) and these two little gems have not left my handbag since.
The matchbox-style nail files are so easy to just toss into your bag and they're there if you break a nail during the day and trust me. they come in handy. Taking the bus twice, sometimes more, a day, the sanitiser, which smells like grapes and is fab, is so easy to fit into a bag. I use it after getting off the bus and at random times throughout the day.
Both of these products are available from the Mad Beauty site and won't break the bank at all!
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer
Multiple nights out this month also lend a hand to some very dark circles under my eyes. Benefit's Boi-ing concealer is a heavy-duty concealer that does wonders in masking tired looking eyes.
I bought a sample size one in Boots a few months ago and I love it. I bought the it in the shade 02 because I knew my eyes would look absolutely terrible after nights out so I'd need a darker shade to match my tan.
Benefit minis are still available in Boots where you get four for €20!
Milani Baked Blush - Luminoso
Another product I have been loving with the added glow I have this month is Milani's baked blush in the shade Luminoso. I just love how it complements my tan and the slight shimmer adds that gorgeous sparkle to my cheeks as well!
I got this blush as a present when someone was visiting the States but if I find a retailer in Ireland I will let you guys know!
Pure PawPaw - Watermelon
Pure PawPaw Ointment were another brand who very kindly sent me some products recently and if you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen me raving about these guys!
My favourite one so far is the watermelon scented one because it just smells so good. I've been using the ointment to help soothe my dry winter lips and any dry patches on skin I've come across and it has really helped.
I'll have a full review of the product soon but check out their website if you want to know more!
