Beauty Favourites:
I love... strawberries and milkshake
I received this as a birthday gift this month and I've used it every single day since. It came as a 4 piece set with body butter, exfoliating shower smoothie, bubble bath/shower get and a really cute pink loofah. I've been loving this, especially loving the body butter. The scent is pretty mild, not empowering at all. but it does smell sweet, and creamy. I find the scent really stays on you and doesn't travel far, which i really like in case I'm around someone who is allergic to fragrance. The formula of this body butter is just like any other butter. It's really thick and moisturizes so well which I really need this winter. What's up with this weather these days? Anyway..moving on. the bubble bath/shower gel makes some serious bubble but sadly they didn't last long. and that's a bit of a downer for me but even thought he bubbles were gone, the scent stayed which was pretty relaxing. As for the exfoliating shower smoothie....Yum. Super creamy texture, and there is just the right amount of exfoliating beads in every use. It smells great just like the other two products so if you happen to find this product..try it =)
Eco Pure Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
Mmmmmm is my initial thoughts on this product. The smell alone is enough for me to repurchase this over and over again! I got this as a set with a shower gel, it smells amazing as well but i have yet to use it. but the lotion...Yum! it smells like every other cocoa butter product, so its nothing new but you'll love this is you love that scent. the formula is light and smooth and never leaves my hands greasy no mater how much i try to put on. The scent with this one travels but is also very light smelling. like most cocoa butter products, it smells natural and very warm! If you can find this product. smell it, buy it, and thank me later =)
Avon Naturals Blushing Charme Cherry Blossom body spray
I'm not one for Avon products but this is one product that I really love. I find most body sprays, no matter what brand, always smell more like alcohol than the actual scent and because of that the longevity is pretty much non existent, But for some reason Avon has managed to out do everyone else and step up their body spray game. considering the first ingredient in this is in fact alcohol, you can't tell. and the scent lasts all day. I like to spray a little in my hair so when I flip it behind me I smell the spray again, and if you know me, that would make me pretty excited haha.
Adidas Fruity Rhythm Perfume.
So the top notes in this perfume are black current and raspberries. ( My favourite fruit) The middle notes are cyclamen and freesia and the base note is musk which really helps balance all the sweet notes in this perfume. I like to spray it on both sides on my neck and I can smell it all night long and through to the next day. This is probably the cheapest perfume I own but how can you go wrong when it smells so fresh and lasts such a long time? Yup. didn't think you could!
Hard Candy Glow all the way body and face luminizer
This product is so fun to play with. It's part of a 4 product range and each one is infused with 24 karat gold. This particular shade is #319 Dollface. I have played around with this product for years now and honestly use it on the smallest part of my face. My cupids bow. I apply a small amount with my finger tip and blend it up towards my nose. This gives the illusion that I have big lips, and i can see it's effect instantly. then I add a little lip liner and I'm feeling like Kylie Jenner. You can apply this to your brow bone, top of your cheeks, your arms, chest and even as an eye shadow if you really wanted to, it's a multi-use item and it works!
Moving on...to more red and fragrance.. =)
Black Cherry Merlot Foaming Hand Soap Bath And Body Works
This smells like what it is, just like all bath and body works products. you can never g wrong with them. I've been loving this because it's the only soap that isn't leaving my hands dry after. like I mentioned earlier, that's been an issue for me this winter so this has been a nice addition to having more moisturized hands. and the smell is very captivating. it's rich and very true to fresh black cherries and wine, and we all know how much I like wine! Haha. Not only do I recommend this scent but pretty much every other scent from this company is a crowd pleaser so definitely check them out!
Non Beauty Favourites
Scentsy. One of my friends sells this product and pretty much every time I go over I'm smelling her collection and falling in love with a new scent every time. After a few months of carefully selecting my favourites I've narrowed it down to 3. So here they are
Luna
So Scentsy describes this scent as "White florals — jasmine, sweet pea, and freesia — juicy berries, and sandalwood shimmer like moonlight." I couldn't agree more. I mean if moonlight had a smell. it would be Luna. I'm a huge fan of each scent in this bar so it was no surprise that i liked it so much! If you get a chance to smell this, Do it!!
Shaka!
The moment I smelt this for the first time my first and only thought was "I need a man who smells like this!" that thought hasn't changed! haha. Scentsy's description of this scent is "Classically cool: rich sandalwood infused with a splash of bergamot and lime." Now, I have no clue how bergamot smells but it's gotta be good. Sandalwood is an all time favourite of mine and so is lime so this scent is a win- win for me. If you like the smell of light cologne, smell this and thank me later!
Serene Green
This has to me my favourite out of every scent Scentsy has. It's crisp, clean, and SO fresh smelling. Scentsy's description says "Deep green lime leaves, crisp verbena, and tart citrus zest in a bright, happy fragrance." Perfect. The description is spot on. You'd think this would be a really powerful citrus smell because of the lime leaves and citrus zest but the lime leaves actually have a sweet earthy smell and verbena brightens up the entire scent. This is a must for me now and I can't wait to get my brick. rumor has it, this is getting discontinued, so hurry up and get your hands on this little beauty before it's too late!
Music
Taylor Swift - 1989
So the last album I bought before it broke was Taylor Swift 1989 and I was so crushed when i couldn't listen to it anymore. But, now that it's back, so is the music and I've been listening to her album nonstop. My favourite tracks off the album are Welcome to New York, Style, Out of the Woods, Wildest Dreams, I Know Places, Clean, and Wonderland....So pretty much the entire album. I like every song but the ones I listed are ones I've just been personally loving. So give this one a listen! There's a song for everyone!
And last but not least.
Sam Hunt - Montevallo
So not only is Sam Hunt pretty easy to look at but his songs are super catchy! Leave the Night On is constantly playing in my mind and House Party. His voice is so nice and easy to sing with. His album came out in October last year but I never gave it a chance until now and I'm really glad I did. You can check out his songs on YouTube. Let me know what you think! =)
Well that concludes my February Favourites! I hope you all enjoyed this post, make sure to tell me what you've been loving this month and if try any of these products let me know ow you like them! See you all in March!
