This month it was a breeze picking the stars of my cosmetic
rotation, and these are not only things that I loved the most but also those
that got the most use from me over the weeks. This edit turned out to be easy
picks for quick on the go looks, so suffice to say I wasn’t too creative in the
realm of makeup during February. Cheeks were kept on the neutral, natural side
of the fence as I alternated the amazing Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in
Exposed with the peachy L’Oreal Super Blendable Blush in 326 The Muse’s
Blush. To brighten up my face I reached for one of my favourite
highlighters, TheBalm’s Mary Lou Manizer. Rather than using my Real
Technique’s for Samantha Chapman Contour brush to apply as I normally do I’ve
been using my fingers, and loving the sheer effect that it gives. This makes it
brilliant for everyday wear, and is nice and quick for rushed mornings. Scent of choice has also been a failsafe with Guerlain's Champs Elysees covering me every day. If I had to wear only one scent for the rest of my days, this would be it.
The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil* was on my wish list
for so long, and I am elated to say that not only has it met my expectations,
it has actually exceeded them. A tip off from Estee has made me use this as a
shaving oil, but it works beautifully as a regular body wash when paired with a
sponge as well. It definitely warrants a full review (read:rave) so I’ll get to
work on that soon. I have also been loving the Covergirl Clump Crusher
mascara, which has garnered me more lash envy comments than I had received in
a long time! For me, that is the main measure of success for a mascara, as well
as the stellar and easy to wear formulation. Lips have been lazy, and the Revlon
Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey has been a staple not only for its
non-melty texture (Melbourne heat hates lipsticks!) but the colour goes with
absolutely everything. MAC Patisserie was thrown into the mix on the odd
colder day we enjoyed, and man that is a winner of a shade!
So there is my lazy-day, easy to use February Edit. Have you
tried any of these products, or do you want to?
*Product provided for consideration, but an honest
favourite.
