February Favorites



Happy March 1st babes! It is so unbelievable how time flies so fast. It seems like I just celebrated new year last week, and it is already the third month of the year! OMG!

Anyway, February is over and it means it is time for me to tell you what beauty/non-beauty things I've been loving during February (click here to see my January Favorites). I am so excited and lets get started!

First and foremost is honey and extra virgin olive oil (you all must be like "whatttttt!??"). Well, let me tell you these two products are SO beneficial for your hair and skin. I have been doing hair mask and face mask with these two. Honey is anti-bacterial, so if you have acne, honey can kill those bacteria that causing your acne. Honey is anti-inflammatory as well, so it reduces the redness on your skin. Olive oil has so many benefits for your skin and hair. I can keep going on how good they are, so if you want me to do another post for this, let me know! But anyway, my skin feels so smooth and my hair feels so soft after using it! :)
You don't need to use raw honey or organic extra virgin olive oil. You can use regular honey and extra virgin olive oil (regular olive oil does work too!)

If you've been following my blog, you might predict the tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15 will be in my monthly fav, haha. I did a review for this (click here to read), and I love it! It gives me a good amount of coverage and it won't make your face look cakey. It has SPF 15 too! 

I also did a review on Make Up For Ever HD Primer (click here to read), and seriously it does make a difference on your makeup. My makeup looks smoother and long wearing. I put this on and let the skin soak it for a couple of minutes. Then I will go ahead and apply foundation. I just use my hands to apply it :) 

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal mask was my favorite last year, but then I forgot about it! I have no idea why I stopped using it. But starting February, I found it and decided to try it out again. OMG I feel this is the best mask in the world. Your face will feel so tight when you have this on, but don't worry, it means that this mask goes into your pores and clears whatever dirts and toxins inside that causing the pores clogged! My skin feels so clean and soft after using it, and I really can see the difference on my skin. LOVE IT!!! Let me know if you want me to do a more in-depth review on this. :)

Next is MAC Eyeshadow in Motif. I have had this eyeshadow for a long time and never been a favorite. At that time, I was in a hurry and just picked a random MAC eyeshadow and it happened to be this one. I was like, "why did I always ditch this baby?" haha. Anyway, from then on I can't stop using this eyeshadow. I put it on my lid, under brow bone, inner tear duct, lower lash line, basically everywhere! haha. I love it because the color is so unique! It looks golden yellow in the picture, but if you look closely, you'll see a pink iridescent on it. When the light reflects to it, OMG I can't believe how pretty is that. 



Next favorite is two things that I always use it together. During the month of February, I love to use a liquid eyeliner on my upper lash line (you'll see it in my whole February tutorial). My all time favorite is L'Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eye Liner in Carbon Black. Seriously, I have tried so many different kinds of liquid eyeliner, and they can't win this baby over. This really makes applying liquid eyeliner so easy. Next one is Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion (click here to read my review about it), and I like to apply this on my waterline. This is the blackest black eyeliner and it is really long wearing. That's why I love it :)

Last but not least is my all time favorite mascara!! I have been loving COVERGIRL Lash Blast Volume for the longest time in my life. I keep changing my mascara, but I always go back to this baby! It really volumizes my lashes, make it bigger and longer! I can't describe how I love this mascara, I have gone through probably ten tubes of it. It is affordable too! 
So, that's all beauty things I love during the month of February. Anyway, let me tell you some non-beauty things as well. My current favorite TV shows are the Bachelor and the Biggest Loser, haha. It is sad how the Bachelor season almost ends! I like Biggest Loser not because I wanna lose weight or something, but I like to see the drama going on there. I get so emotional every time I watch it, haha. What else? Favorite food? I like Jello Pudding Snacks in Milk Chocolate. OMG! LOVE this stuff. I do not know why I just figured this out. And I also have been eating the King's Hawaiian Sweet Roll bread. This bread has been my favorite for forever, but there was a time I was kind of sick about it because I ate it everyday. But now I start eating it again, and OMG.. I am not gonna ditch it anymore, haha.

I am so sorry this post is so long! I can keep going on, you know. Alright, I am gonna stop now and thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope you have a great day!
