February 2013 Favourites Rimmel Urban Decay Barry M Makeup Academy Lipstick Queen Review Belle-amie
February has been a really nice month for me in terms of beauty products. I've tried quite a few new products, but also rekindled my love for some older ones that have been hidden away in my makeup drawers! Now that it's (sort of) making its way to Spring time, I have been using some of the brighter and more colourful products in my collection. This post will show you want products I have been loving and using this month!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory LINK
This is the foundation I have been reaching for the most this month. In the Winter, I feel that my skin looks dull and pale so I use the Wake Me Up foundation to add a glow to my skin. This foundation has tiny bits of shimmer in to give you a dewy effect to your skin, so is perfect for perking up my dull complexion at this time of year. I also love the medium coverage it gives and how easy it is to blend with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush (these two products were made for each other!).

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm* LINK
You may have read the review I recently did of this product and seen how much I enjoy this beauty balm! I've used this nearly everyday for the best part of February as a primer underneath my Wake Me Up foundation. I love these two products together as the Urban Decay balm allows my foundation to apply really well and last all day. You can read my full review of this product HERE.

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Blueberry LINK
When I first tried this nail polish, I was quite disappointed with the formula and how thin it was. However, now that I have learnt to apply it thicker and build up the colour, I absolutely love it and has been the nail polish I've reached for the most this month! Like I've said in many posts, I'm loving blue nails at the moment and this is one of the prettiest shades I own. The main look I've done with this polish is painting all my nails with Blueberry and then using Barry M's Amethyst Glitter on my ring finger. Definitely try that out if you have the polishes!

Makeup Academy Lipstick in Shade 8 LINK
I've been loving wearing lipstick this month! I've featured this lipstick in a favourites post before and I must say, this is one of my favourite lipsticks I own. I love the deep red shade and that it has lots of gold glitter in! This was my staple Christmas time lipstick, but I still enjoy wearing it now. It has great pigmentation and is very comfortable on the lips. I highly recommend MUA lipsticks and you can read my review of them HERE.

Lipstick Queen Butterfly Ball Lipstick in Fly* LINK
Yet another lipstick, but this time, it's pink! I received this lipstick last year but didn't seem to use it that much. However, for February, this has become my every day lipstick! The colour is a sheer bright pink and looks beautiful on the lips. It's such an easy shade to wear with an amazing formula and think it will suit most skin tones. You can read my review and lip look with this lipstick HERE.

What are your February Favourite's?

Nails Of The Day | Edinburgh Feathers


Today, I want to show you a nail polish from Nails Inc's new limited edition collection "Feathers". There are 4 different polishes to choose from: Edinburgh, York, Chester and Cornwall, which contain tiny feather like particles that come in a range of pastel colours, perfect for Spring! The shade I have is Edinburgh, which contains pale blue and peach strands. I'm loving textured nails at the moment, anything from glitter to unusual effects like this polish, so I've been really excited to try this polish out!

In the photo above, I have layered 2 coats of Edinburgh over a nude nail polish. I found that this polish was very easy to layer up and create an opaque finish. You can also wear the feather polishes alone with 2-3 coats and it will build up to a similar effect. I really love the finish of this polish and if you can get most of the particles to lay in the same direction, it does remind me of a bird's feathers! I find it so interesting to look at and I like how it's incorporating 2 different Spring shades into 1 polish. I also like how the effect isn't so "in your face", so is absolutely perfect to wear on all of yours nails like I've done! In terms of how long it lasts, the strength is like a glitter polish so it won't chip easily and takes a bit more effort to remove with nail polish remover.

The packaging of the "Feathers" polishes is lovely. On each of the bottle's lid there is a bird which has the corresponding feathers as to what colours are in the bottle. I think that's so cute and looks really nice amognst my collection!

Overall, I do like this nail polish! It's very different to anything I've tried before and it's a nice way to have simple yet colourful nails. I would also like to try the shade Cornwall as I'm loving blue nail polish at the moment and I can imagine this to be very pretty!

You can buy Nails Inc Feathers Polishes for £11 from lookfantastic.com with free delivery!
