Monthly Favorites {February}

We are one month closer to spring!  I am so excited.  My makeup game was pretty minimal this month.  I stuck to a few items and used them almost everyday. 

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - I finally repurchased this after too many month without it. I love how creamy it is and how easily it blends out and covers. 

Hourglass Modernist Palette in Exposure - These shadows are just absolutely gorgeous!  They blend like a dream and are amazingly pigmented. 

Tom Ford Cream Shadow in Platinum - On days when I am not sure what i exactly want to do with my eyes I turn to this.  I put this all over my eyes and I am good to go.  This shade just compliments my blue eyes so well. 

Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara - My absolute holy grail in mascaras.  I love how this makes my lashes look so voluminous and at the same time lengthens them a bit. 

Becca Blush in Flowerchild - This blush is perfect for a natural flush look.  It does have shimmer in it but, it does not translate onto your cheeks. 

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick in Rosy Silk - I have been going for a lighter lip lately and this is perfect for that.  I love the way these lipsticks feel on my lips. 

Albeit Lip Balm - Every morning I get up and apply this balm to my lips.  It is very nourishing and moisturizing.  

What are your favorites at the moment ??

Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream

I was recently walking the streets of Soho and stumbled upon an Aesop boutique.  I immediately entered with one thing in mind, the Rosehip Seed Lip Cream ($15).  I have seen a lot of the people I follow on Instagram use it.  So, it had to be mine.  This lip cream is light weight and formulated for delicate and sensitive lips.  It has vitamin e which helps replenish moisture and soften lips.  It is very different then anything I have in my collection.  This actually soaks into my lips and doesn't just sit on the surface.  I have used this for several days now and I can feel the difference in my lips.  They aren't as dry as usual.  With this crazy winter going on this is a god send.   

Have you tried anything from Aesop ?? What did you think ??

Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colour {Coral Reef}

Laura Mercier recently released these new Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colours ($28).  I picked one up in Coral Reef.  These liquid lipsticks leave a nice satin finish and are very creamy.  These are very light on the lips and last for three to four hours.  These don't wear well though.  You need to take it off completely and the re-apply.  And make sure you exfoliate your lips before wearing.  

   

Overall I am not impressed but, I am not unhappy.  I wouldn't buy another shade but, I will wear the one I have.  

What do you think of these Laura Mercier liquid lipsticks ??

Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Color {Rosy Silk}

                                      

Guerlain recently came out with two new shades of their KissKiss lipsticks ($37), Rosy Silk and Peach Satin.  I opted to just pick up Rosy Silk.  Peach Satin seemed to pull a little too orange for my liking.  These KissKiss lipstick are creamy and leave a satin finish.  They have mango butter in them which helps my lips stay hydrated while I am wearing them.  As we all know I am not the biggest lipstick person, even though I can't stop buying them, but I love the way these feel on my lips. Rosy Silk is a beautiful light pink, coral shade.  Shocker!  I totally went for my comfort zone.
