February Favourites



As you can see I don't have many favourites this month but I still wanted to share these few with you that I have been really enjoying

Revlon Colourstay foundation - I finally got around to trying this, I was previously using Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua foundation (review here) but wanted to try something with a little more coverage as that's my only fault with the Vitalumiere Aqua and so decided to try Colourstay. So far I really like it and have been using it with the Real Techniques stippling brush.. I just wish it had a pump!

MOR Lychee Flower hand cream - I had never heard of this brand before and as you can see this is just a sample I have of their hand cream but I've managed to get around 11 uses out of one of the two samples I have and I absolutely love it. It smells (to me) like cocoa butter and after doing a little research I found that this costs $20 a tube which is pretty steep but I like it so much I'd be tempted!

L'Oreal shine stay - I love everything about this! Mine is in 'On and on rose' which is a pretty subtle pink shade but gives just a hint of colour which I love. I really want to pick up one (or two.. or three..) more of these.

Physicians Formula conceal RX - I've yet to find a concealer I love and although I don't use this under my eyes I like using it to cover up blemishes. You need the teeniest amount so one tube of this stuff will last forever! I got mine here.

What were you loving in February?

£5 Revlon lip products


I thought since Revlon are still doing their £5 offer in Superdrug and Boots I would take advantage and buy a couple of their lip products that I have been wanting to try. I've used their colourburst lip glosses before and really like them, so I grabbed a couple more of those (016/Bordeaux and 008/Peony) along with one of their Just Bitten balm stains (020/lovesick) along with one of their Just Bitten lip stain and balms (Beloved/Adoration). I've been wanting to try both of these products but so far hadn't gotten around to it and thought now would be the perfect time!

Have you taken advantage of this offer too?

What's in my travel make up bag?


I recently spent a lovely week in Devon and thought I would write a post about the make up I took with me. On a day to day basis I wear very simple make up, so this isn't going to be the most exciting 'What's in my travel make up bag' you will ever read but I still decided to share it with you. 


 Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation
 Soap and Glory's Thick & Fast mascara, I love this but mine is finally needing to be replaced.
 MUA (now not so clear) mascara which I use to set my eyebrows after I have filled them in.
 Balance Me Rose Otto lip balm
 Revlon lip butter in Cupcake
 L'oreal Caresse lip stick in Tempting Lilac
 Collection lasting perfection concealer which has definitely seen better days now that I have lost the lid!
 Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder
Rimmel eyes hadow quad in 'Smoky Brun', I use the darkest colour from this quad on my eyebrows and the lightest colour as a highlight in the corner or my eyes

Oh, on a side note, I took these pictures on the window sill in the living room of the cottage we rented for the week. I really wish I had a window sill like this! The lighting and space were good for taking pictures which is something I don't have in my own house.
