Despite having my blog since September I've only ever done one favourites post so today I wanted to expand on that and share with you my February favourites.
Ted Baker Body Spray: this came in a little gift set I got from one of my friends for Christmas. I'm terrible at describing scents but it has rose, sandalwood and raspberry in it but is definitely more floral than it is fruity. I think it's perfect for the springtime.
Topshop Lip Balm: I've really just been obsessed with lip balms this month and I definitely have more than I need. This one from Topshop has such nice packaging and smells identical to YSL lipsticks.
Benefit Cream Shadow "r.s.v.p.": I really love cream eyeshadows and this shimmery champagne coloured one from Benefit has been one of my most used recently. It's really pigmented and lasts all day, it can be used as a base for powder eyeshadow but I think it looks just as pretty on its own!
Maybelline Baby Lips "Cherry Me": continuing with my lip balm obsession, I have worn this shade of Baby Lips almost everyday this past week. I'm sure you've all heard so much about these but they definitely deserve the hype.
Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion: I got this mini size in a set which I got for Christmas but this has been the standout product to me. It's really lightweight and smells really nice but not overpowering. It also contains coconut oils which are amazing for your skin. I'm definitely considering buying the full size when this runs out.
Clean & Clear Morning Energy Skin Brightening Daily Facial Moisturiser: this has been my favourite moisturiser for months now but I'd never mentioned it on my blog before so I thought I'd include it now. It has lemon and papaya extracts and after using it for a long time now I can definitely say it has improved my dry skin.
