February Favorites!

Februrary Favorites

Hey there! This month is going so fast – good thing we get an extra day this year! Today I wanted to share with you all of my favorite beauty products this month. So, we’ll go through my day and I’ll tell you all about the products I’m currently using and the one’s I’m loving enough to continue in my beauty routine long-term.

I am not a morning person, so I like to look for anything and everything that makes my morning as simple and painless as possible. These products below are doing the trick!

Crest Pro Health

Teeth/Mouth: I’m not one of those people who chooses a toothpaste and then sticks to it for the rest of my life. Nope, I switch it up all the time unless I find one I’m really loving and then I’ll stick with it for a couple tubes. Right now (and for the last couple of months) I’ve been using Crest Pro-Health Advanced Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste. I love this toothpaste because I feel like it truly works. The Pro-Health line from Crest has been a go-to of mine for quite a while because these products provide so many benefits and cover so much ground in mouth-cleaning that it’s hard for me to not keep buying them. I’ve also been using the mouthwash that I guess goes with it – the Crest Pro-Health Tartar Protection with Fluoride Anticavity Rinse (the name is a mouthful!). These mouthwashes are great because they don’t burn after 3 seconds like other brands I’ve used do (like Listerine), yet I still feel like it’s working and killing all of the disgusting mouth germs!

Garnier Fructis Micellar Water

Face: I have a love/hate relationship with most face products – I find one I like and then over time it seems like it’s not as effective, or my face randomly decides it doesn’t like it anymore. My cleanser I’m currently using and loving is the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser and Makeup Remover & Cleanser. This is a new product from Garnier Fructis. It’s so amazingly simple to use (which as I mentioned, I’m all about!). All you have to do is shake it up, and pour it a little  bit on a cotton pad and swipe it all over your face – you’d be amazed at the amount of makeup your makeup remover pads leave behind! I use the one that removes even waterproof mascara.

Hair Products

Hair: As I do with my toothpaste, I also switch my shampoo/conditioners up quite often! I also don’t use the same shampoo every day. I have thin curly hair and it’s so easy for it to get damaged, so I try to do everything I can to keep it healthy! I am currently loving Just Natural Hair Care Shampoo for Hair Loss – it’s a bit pricey, but you don’t use it every day and it makes your hair super healthy and shiny. The best part is it’s all natural and it also contains essential oils, which makes it even more incredible. I am also loving OGX Thick & Full Biotin & Collagen shampoo. This is another great organic shampoo that adds lots of volume and great vitamins to your hair. For conditioner I’m using another OGX product, Moisture Plus Vitamin B5 conditioner. This conditioner smells amazing and I just love how soft it makes my hair.

I also straighten my hair on an almost daily basis, so I do my best to not damage my hair with all the heat. I’ve been loving Garnier Fructis’ Sleek and Shine Sleek Primer Style Prep. I dry my hair with my hair dryer and then spray this product in before I use my flat iron to straighten it. I feel like not only does it add a layer of protection from the heat, but it also definitely helps with keeping my curls straight and sleek all day long.

Makeup: For foundation, I’ve been loving my Mary Kay Endless Performance Creme-to-Powder Foundation Foundation. This is a medium to full-coverage foundation and it’s totally buildable. Of course, if you’ve read any of my recent posts, you already know that I’m totally obsessing over ColourPop products at the moment, so my current eye products consist of their SuperShock Eye Shadows – Nillionaire is my current favorite. The eye liner I’ve been loving is Rimmel London’s Auto Waterproof Eye Definer in Noir. I love this eye liner because it’s waterproof, so it doesn’t wear off your waterline like other liners do, and it goes on super smooth. For Mascara, again, if you read my Top 5 Mascara post (link to post here) you already know that I am in love with Maybelline Lash Sensational. I wouldn’t necessarily call this a February favorite as much as an all-time favorite, but still I just love it so much I added it in here anyhow. For my bronzer I am loving Pur Minerals Mineral Glow. This is a pressed powder bronzer and it is super pigmented and has just the right amount of shimmer. My highlighter, I just received in my last ColourPop haul (link to post here) it’s a SuperShock face in Smoke N Whistles. It’s a dreamy creamy little pot of shimmer and highlight that sets like magic and lasts all day.

CO Bigelow night balm

Lips: Aside from my love of all things ColourPop lippie product at the moment, my nightly lip regimen this past month has consisted of C.O. Bigelow Lip Treatment in My Favorite Night Balm. This product is great. I put it on at night and go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning, my lips feel renewed and refreshed.

True Blue Spa Cashmere and silk

Hands: Each night I use True Blue Spa’s Shea Cashmere & Silk Hand Cream. It smells like baby powder and lightly like vanilla – I guess like Cashmere? But the way it makes your hands feel is incredible! I don’t know about you, but in the winter my hands get super dry and no one wants old lady hands, so get some cream on those bad boys! I recommend using this one :).

So, that’s it! Those are my top picks for this month.
