February Favourites!

The speed that this year is going by is totally mind boggling! How is it already March?! Anyway this month I have been trying lots of new things and some of them I totally LOVE!! So here goes...


Dior Skin NUDE in shade 010- £32.00
This is such an incredible foundation. It has amazing lasting power, a good selection of colours, and provides light to medium (buildable) coverage. This foundation looks beautiful on the skin, providing a slightly natural glow, making me look like I have had a really good night sleep!! I have worn this pretty much every day since I purchased it (which is a major rarity for me). 

Vitage Age Defence Power Skin repair- £53 
For those of you who have followed me for a while, you will know I am a massive fan of PRIORI and Vitage skin care. These two companies make incredible products that work beautifully together. I have been using their products on and off for the last 2 years and its fair to say I will never stray from them again. This is my 5th tub of this moisturiser and I adore it. This doesn't break me out, doesn't contain any nasties, is a super- antioxidant and is anti ageing! Its a total miracle worker and I adore it! Although it has a big price tag, it is totally worth it. I get mine from Louise Thomas Minns (if your in the Norwich area) who owns the amazing skin lounge U and your skin www.uandyourskin.co.uk. Although she doesn't sell it online, you should pay her website and youtube channel a visit, she is my skin guru!!! 

PRIORI Daily Defence protector spf 30- £17
This is my daily, everyday sunscreen. It is non- greasy and has a gorgeous soft feel to it. It is a broad spectrum sunscreen so it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, which is turn stops sun damage and ageing. I really like this product and it has lasted me ages. It sits beautifully under makeup and has no nasties in it!! YAY.


Dior Rosy Glow- £30.50
Im not going to say too much about this as I did a blog post on it recently!! All I'm going to say is I LOVE it!!! It is such a clever product.

Rimmel Scandaleyes shadow paint in 'Rich Russet'- £4.99
This is my go to eye shadow for my manic work days. It is so easy to blend, lasts all day and looks beautiful. This product really surprised me as usually drugstore eye shadows don't last particularly well on me. However this super offering from Rimmel is giving my beloved Maybelline colour tattoo and run for its money. It must be good!

Chanel Illusion D Ombre in 82 Emerveille- £24
I first came across this eyeshadow when I did the Pixiwoo course last summer. As soon as I tried it I went out an purchased it and love it so much I have now hit pan (or glass as its a glass pot, but you get the idea). This is my go to no makeup, makeup eyeshadow. It is slightly shimmery but not in an overpowering sense. I usually tend to put it all over my eye and blend some bronzer through the crease to create a simple but effective eye look. This lasts really, really well and looks beautiful over the course of the day. I have been on the hunt for a drugstore dupe but as of yet I have had no luck! 

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer- £5.99
I did a blog post all about this beauty! It is an incredible drugstore primer, which I use every single day!! I love it so much I have just re-purchased it (the sign of true love)!!


Sleek Brow Stylist in Light- £5.99
This is a new offering from Sleek, which I picked up on a recent visit to Superdrug. This product is quite waxy, but is really easy to use. It has a slanted tip, which is brilliant for shaping the wider and thinner parts of your brows with the thicker and thinner sides. This also has a spooly on the other end to help create that natural look. 

Illamasqua Freak Eau De Parfum 75ml- £59
I first tried this perfume as a sample when it first came out. I have been desperate to get the full size ever since. So when it went into their sale over Christmas, I jumped at the chance to get it. I ended up paying £25 for this 75ml bottle, which is now back up to £59 (what a bargain). This has quite a dark, floral, night time scent, which lasts really well on my skin. I have had so many compliments on this when I have been wearing it. 

What have you been loving this month?! I would truly love to know! Please don't forget to follow!

  1. I like the sound of that Priori sunscreen, where can I purchase that? I have problematic skin so I think this would be perfect for me :)

    1. The Priori and Vitage ranges generally are amazing! I won't use any other brand now. The cheapest I have found their products online is on tomeloveme.com. Its free delivery too!! x
