February Favourite's

February-Favourites-Soap-Glory-Garnier-Body-Shop-OPI-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog 

Once again we've entered a new month in 2015 - seriously, where is this month going? It's flying by already! Even though February is a short month, I've seemed to have found some new beauty favourites that I have really been loving. This month I have found some new hair and body care staples that I've really been enjoying. If you want to hear about why I love this little collection of products, then do keep on reading!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment | LINK
 A few months ago I was torn between buying 2 different shampoo and conditioner sets; the L'Oreal Elvive Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz and the Garnier Ultimate Blends The Nourishing Repairer. I opted for the L'Oreal one as I was really suffering with frizzy hair at this point, however I was unimpressed with it as it left my hair feeling dry and dull. So I went back last month and picked up the Ultimate Blends range and I couldn't be more happier with them! These products leave my naturally dry hair feeling really soft, sleek and totally nourished. Plus the scent of this range is amazing and smells good enough to eat. I'm planning on doing an updated hair care routine soon so I'll go into more depth about each product in that post.

Soap & Glory Whipped Clean Shower Butter | LINK
 I have to be honest and say I'm really bad at applying body lotion after my shower. I'd much rather have that extra 10 minutes in bed than standing around waiting for my body butter to sink in. So instead I've started to use Soap & Glory's Whipped Clean which is an in-shower body butter that you apply to your skin and then you rinse it off after. It literally takes about 2 minutes and you don't have to worry about waiting for it to sink in and having that tacky feel to your skin. Whipped Clean just leaves my skin feeling super soft and smelling gorgeous - with macadamia oil, cocoa and shea butter it's absolutely divine!

The Body Shop Deep Sleep Mist | LINK
 I've always been a light sleeper but up until a month ago I'd been getting some really bad night's sleep. I would literally toss and turn not being able to get comfy which results in me getting extremely frustrated and having a really rubbish night's sleep. After reading some reviews of The Body Shop Deep Sleep Dreamy Body Mist, I thought it was worth a shot trying it to help me get relaxed before bed. The scent is quite strong but once diffused into the air it creates a really nice calming atmosphere to the room. I usually spray this about 20 minutes before I go to bed to let the scent settle and I can honestly say this has dramatically improved my quality of sleep! It helps me drift off easier by calming and relaxing me before bed. This is now a staple on my bed side table and I will definitely keep repurchasing it in the future.

O.P.I Mini Nail Envy | LINK
In the Winter months I find it really hard to grow my nails as they get really dry and brittle. However I've started to reach for my little bottle of OPI Nail Envy a lot more often and have been using it a couple times a week. So far I've noticed that my nails are a lot stronger and aren't as easy to break. What I also like about Nail Envy is how quick it dries. If I'm about to head out the door but want to add a bit of shine to my nails this is what I'll reach for as it literally dries in seconds! I know this is a blogger staple, but I do really recommend trying this nail treatment!

So these are the products that I really have been enjoying this month! If you're on the hunt for any new products to try then I'd definitely recommend give these a try.

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.
