February Favorites
It’s been a while since I did a Product of the Month blog post, but don’t worry it’s all worth the wait ‘cause I got some new exciting products to talk about. Like I said on my previous blog post, I’ve been a little off with my blog schedule lately due to the hectic weeks I’ve had. With that being said, it means I have been lacking on the beauty department as well, I haven’t been trying as much beauty products as I wanted in these past few months and of course to give you guys my honest opinion on these products I will never just put something up that I don’t like, so that’s the reason why this post took me so long. I am very excited about this month’s products, as I have found some amazing products that have astonished me in every single way.
Laura Mercier – Translucent Loose Setting Powder
It took me some months before I could call this product mine. This loose setting powder was sold out everywhere; they even made a waiting list for this product, as it will be sold out rapidly once it has been restocked again. I was so excited when they told me that this product was available again. I immediately went to the store and tried this product out once I got home and the result blew my mind. There aren’t many translucent powders that I like; most of the times they either (1) tends to cake on me or (2) leaves me with a dull looking face. I love how this product doesn’t do any of it at all; in fact it even looks natural. Needless to say, this product is quite expensive but it’s worth every penny.
Zara – Floral Bouquet
For those who are into fresh and floral scents with a little bit of sweetness, you’ll probably be all head over heels over this one by Zara. This fragrance has been my go-to scent for the past few weeks now and I don’t even feel like alternating between the other perfumes I own. This fragrance has a very pleasant scent, you can go all overboard with it and it will never be too overwhelming. After using this fragrance by Zara, I don’t even know what it is about those crazy expensive fragrances from high-end brands that most of the times don’t even last long. This one here only cost € 9,99 for 100ml and the scent lingers for a good few hours if not the whole day. I can say it's the perfect fragrance for the upcoming spring season.
H&M – Nail polish in Rose Umber
Out of all the products that I’ve tried for the past few months, I can say that H&M beauty products have hands down amazed me the most. For the ones who know me, knows that I’m a pretty nail polish (and lipstick) junkie, from the cheaper ones to the expensive ones, you name it, and I’ve probably tried already. But the H&M beauty products are an exception due to the preconception I’ve had before I would never thought that this day would’ve come. The variety of color selection is what caught my attention first and this soft powdery pink color has won my heart over. This nail polish has surprisingly great quality, it dries quickly and it has a high shine finish to it and can last quite long. Enough pros for me to get some more!
H&M – Lipsticks
I have to say H&M has really step up their game with their clean and chic packaging. Everything that has to do with the color theme black, white and gold is when I have to surrender. So I started to play around with their lipsticks and without a doubt the creamy and matte lipsticks have caught my attention once I started to swipe the colors. The lipsticks are very soft and creamy; not drying at all – not even the matte ones. Both line of the lipsticks have great color pigmentation and go on smoothly. Needless to say that the matte lipstick does last longer compare to the creamy lipstick. I guess that’s something you have to take into account with creamy lipsticks, as they will wear out quickly.
LUSH – Angels on Bare Skin
This jar of magic really allows you to taste a bit of heaven. The cleanser/exfoliator contains of all natural ingredients, which have a balancing and tightening effect on the skin. The scent of almonds and lavender really help for relaxation. After using this product I completely understand its name Angels on Bare Skin. Just when I thought I have found the perfect products for my skin then suddenly this bad boy here shows up and beats my exfoliator of the moment completely down. I have never seen a product alike that can make my face this clear and clean and leaving me with a beautiful glow after using it. Believe me, without any exaggeration my skin really felt as soft as a baby butt. I would recommend this product to everyone, ‘cause it’s that great!
Here you have it guys; my top 5 products of the month. The above mentioned products have really surprised me a lot for the past few weeks or months. This blog post may have taken a while but I am glad I have discovered and tried them all. I hope you guys will love these products as much as I do. Once again, thanks for reading and until next time I shall talk to you soon!
