I don’t do monthly favourite posts but I enjoyed writing up my last “Five things I’m Loving” in January and thought it was about time I do another! Again
there is a mixture of products, some of which are new to me and some that are
repurchases!
I bought this in a set of three a while back but was busy using up
other cleansers before opening one of these! I am so glad to have it back in my
routine and it’s definitely my favourite balm cleanser and totally worth the
price tag in my opinion as I mentioned here! I generally use it at night as a second
cleanse and it’s so gentle yet feels so luxurious to massage into my skin. It doesn’t
sting my eyes and along with the included cloth it removes makeup effortlessly
leaving my skin feeling super soft, hydrated and cleansed. It has a zesty orange
smell and the pot lasts ages too!
This is another repurchase of mine though one I don’t think I've blogged
about before! I love love love rosehip oil and this is my second bottle of
Trilogy’s offering though I've also had the Pai version before and loved it
too! Rosehip oil has done wonders for my skin, helping mainly with my acne
scarring and hydration although it’s also designed to help with wrinkles. I use
other oils too such as Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery which does nothing for me but
with Rosehip oil I see visible results the morning after! Couldn’t be without this
now! I really want to try more from Trilogy too so if you have any recommendations
let me know in the comments!
Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book Volume 1
I had wanted to try the infamous sculpting powder for the longest time
so when I saw this kit my eyes lit up…until I saw the price. I definitely didn’t
want to pay £47 for it but when I saw it on sale at Space NK after Christmas
for £24 I snapped it up (sorry it's out of stock now!) It contains the
celestial powder in Starlight, three eyeshadows to accentuate and highlight,
shade and define (and some can also be used to fill in brows), the celestial
powder in Candlelight and the sculpting powder in medium. When the palette came I was shocked at how
small it was, the eyeshadows are big but the round powders are so small! The
sculpting powder is very pigmented and a lovely contour colour though so you don’t
need much on your brush to get some payoff. I've been getting a lot of use out
of the eyeshades too, using the pinky shade on my inner corner, dark brown on
my eyelid and the warmer toned brown on my outer corner. The only shade I haven’t
been getting much use out of is the brightening Starlight shade as it’s just a
bit too stark for me! Overall a lovely palette but one I would definitely hold
off getting until it’s in the sale again!
Finally onto my last two products and these are both Urban Decay
lipsticks (and my only UD lipsticks). I won a giveaway on the lovely Pam’s blog
at the start of February and I think I’ve had the Sheer Revolution lipstick in Liar on me every day since then! It’s
so easy to wear, hydrating and gives the perfect pinky nude colour to my lips! The
limited edition UDxGwen lipstick
collection was released around the same time and I told myself I didn’t need it
until I started seeing swatches and convinced myself I did! Unfortunately for
me the shade I wanted “Ex-Girlfriend” was out of stock so I signed up to Feel Unique’s
mailing list and hit buy as soon as the back in stock email came through! Again
it’s an easy to wear, hydrating pinky nude and again I won’t win any awards for
being daring in my lipstick choices but to me you can’t go wrong with these
shades and I know I will use both up completely! In fact I toyed with the idea
of buying a backup of Ex-Girlfriend!

So that’s what I’ve been loving lately! Let me know if you’ve tried any
of the products I’ve mentioned or if you have any recommendations for me!
