February favourites

It's this time of the month again, time to talk about my favourites of the month. I haven't bought any makeup or nail polishes this month, I just bought Bourjois healthy mix foundation yesterday because it was -50% and I needed it, mmm-kay? :)

Enough talking, let's start with the favourites :)

Most products are the ones I got in a swap. First one I have to mention Rimmel Glam'eyes professional liquid eyeliner. Brush is so thin and I can easily do perfect winged eyeliner. And it's also super pigmented.

Next thing has to be Revlon Just bitten kissable balm stain in Éprise. Was my go to lippie of the month and the best thing is that it lasts all day long. I just reapplied it to give back some moisture to my lips.

For my cheeks I've been using a lot BYS blusher in Fierce fuchsia, which is super pigmented, have to be careful to not look like a clown :) and Essence Cherry blossom girl blush in Asain sensation, really pretty peachy shade.

Next product I wanted to mention in my last favourites post, but I forgot, so I'll do it now. I've been loving L'Occitane Stick deodorant for men (yes, for men!). You can't really smell it once applied, but it does its work. I got it for Christmas from my mum.

And non-beauty related ... I really enjoyed watching The Avengers, you know I love super heroic movies :). Favourite song of the month I couldn't decide ... Been listening to Marina and the Diamonds A LOT. Whole day on repeat.
Haven't read any books this month though. Will do better in March! :)

What are your monthly favourites?

My first swap ever: Valentine swap

I joined  Sweetaholic beauty's Valentine swap. This was my first swap ever and it was so fun! Looking forward for doing more in the future ;) Jasmine paired me with Amy, who blogs over at Bottled Beauty. Check her out! She is so lovely.

Anyways, I received the package extremely fast, in one week that is, and she is from Australia! She still haven't received mine, although I send it one day before she did.

Here are the goodies she got me:

She wrote me a Valentine's card, which I believe is first one in my life which is not from my mother :D (don't laugh!)

I really wanted to try Revlon Just Bitten Kissable stains, because they are not sold here in Narnia. She got me colours Sweetheart/Valentine and Smitten/Éprise. Anyone knows why do they have 2 names? 

Anyways, I got so excited when I opened Sweetheart that I damaged a tip of a stain with a cap, need to be more gentle with my babies :). So far I like them!

 

I'm not a Rimmel virgin anymore! :D

 Look at this gorgeous shade! It's red, dark red but on a berry side. It smells amazing and I think it goes really well with my skin tone! Although I never match anything to my skintone. I rock everything :P 

Oh, this lippie is Lasting finish by Kate in  09 Rossetto.

 

Another Rimmel product is their Glam eyes Professional Liquid eyeliner. I love that brush is tiny so you can do a really fine line and it's also really pigmented. I've read that it's a good product, now it's my turn to be the judge :)

We have Essence in Slovenia, but she got me Lipstick pencil in 01 Cherry cherry girl from their Cherry Blossom collection. I believe that this collection is not sold here anymore, but I also haven't bought anything from it, but I really liked those pencils. And now I have one :)

 

Quick swatches. From left to right: Rimmel Rossetto, Essence Cherry Cherry girl, Revlon JBK Sweetheart and Smitten. Underneath is swatched Rimmel eyeliner.

Another Rimmel product she got me is their Lasting finish nail polish in 500 Disco ball. I mean, who doesn't love disco balls? I want to have one at home when I have my own place :D. But disco ball nails will have to do for now :D

Then she added some Australian brands, I always love to try new products :).

This glitter baby is by Australis Nail glitter top coat in Fairy bread. It looks alike to Essence Confetti one, but colours are slightly different and glitter is in different shapes.

 Another Australis product is Lash TLC conditioning mascara. I was pleasantly surprised that wand is curved, I actually used to curve straight wands on my own. I had no expectations, whatsoever, but I was surprised how amazing this mascara is. It lenghtens my lashes, but it also gives me volume. And Lord knows I need help with that :D

 I feel like this post is taking forever :D

She also got me 2 blushes, first one is BYS blusher in Fierce fuschia. It's such a pretty mixture of pink and coral shade with shimmer, never seen before a beauty like this one!

Second one is Essence Cherry blossom girl blush in 01 Asain sensation. It has two shades: blush and highlight. Really handy ;).

 Quick swatches: from left to right: Essence lighter shade, darker shade and BYS.

 Last but not least, is Eye shadow palette Summer days from Sports girl. She said this brand is like Australian Topshop and she got it for weekly makeup tags ;). How thoughtful!

Unfortunately, one of the shadows broke as you can see, but other colours are still in one piece and ready to use :)

Aaaand that's it. I hope she receives her package soon, I got her Catrice products and I hope she likes it all :).
You'll see all the products mentioned here in my future posts. 

Thank you for reading and have an amazing day!!
