February Besties.

Hello lovelies. 
Today I have my February Besties to share with you. 

-L'OREAL Revitalift Miracle Blur-
I have been loving this as my primer. It really does "blur" some pores & fine lines. Plus, it has 30 SPF. It also makes my skin super soft. 

 -Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof-
This stuff makes my lashes look like BAM. It has a rubber bristle wand which I'm usually not a fan of but I just love this mascara. It might even be my new holy grail but it's too soon to start that type of talk. 

-Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer in Fair-
This is actually my 3rd tube of this stuff. Now, if you have some serious dark circles then this won't help much but if they aren't too intense then this stuff with do the job. It blends like a dream & has SPF 15. 

 -LypSyl Lipbalm-
This stuff is AMAZING. This makes my lips so soft & smooth. It has a nice minty scent but it doesn't tingle on the lips like most other lip balms that have a minty scent, in my experience at least. The best part is I feel like it actual moisturizes my lips & doesn't just sit on top of my lips like a lot of other balms. Bottom line, do yourself a favor & buy this. You can thank me later. 

-Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Nude Lust-
I'm normally not into nude lipsticks because I just feel like none of them have ever looked right on me until now. I can't remember the last time that I fell in love with a lipstick so quickly. This has been pretty much the only one that I have been wearing since I bought it. You can check out when I hauled it here.

 -Wet N Wild Beauty Benefits Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette in Sand Castle-
You can check out my original review of this palette here. I really liked this when I first got this but I wouldn't have called it a favorite but that changed. I really love it now. The shadows are smooth & pigmented. It's a perfect everyday quad. My favorite shade from this is probably the highlight shade. It just looks so pretty in the inner corners of the eye. You can see where I used this in a FOTD here.

-Sally Girl Eyeshadow in Cupid (limited edition)-
When I have been wanting a pop of color on my lids this is the shadow that I have been reaching for & I really like. It was limited edition unfortunately. It was part of the four that they put out for Valentine's Day. I did a review of them here. Once you get through the over spray this is basically matte. It is a bit powdery but I like the color itself enough that I'm willing to work through that.

-Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal liner in Nude-
I love a nude liner on my lower waterline & this has been the one that I have been using lately. I also really love to use this on my upper lash line & then top it off with a colorful eyeshadow. This isn't waterproof like it claims but it does last a good little while on my somewhat watery waterline.

-ELF Kabuki Face Brush-
I usually use a traditional powder brush but lately I've been using this kabuki brush & I really like. It's super soft, well made, & it was inexpensive. You can buy it at Target or on the ELF website here

-Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path Body Lotion-
This scent has a cult following along with Bath & Body Works fans. This is the first time I have ever tried it though. I have to say, I see why so many people like it. It has a nice, soft, relaxing scent. I like to put it on before bed. Once I finish this little bottle I plan on buying one of the big ones.

Well guys, that's all my besties for this month. What were some of yours this month?

Until next time...
Stay True & Stay You
