 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, we are going to be doing a February favorites where I pick out my favorite makeup products for the month of February and I share them with you guys and hopefully convince you to pick them up because they're fantastic. So if you want to see the products that I've been loving then just keep watching. So there were a lot of great makeup products that released this month. I don't know if you guys could tell but I wasn't super busy and occupied with work this month. It was a pretty chill month work-wise so I was able to film a lot of reviews, try out a lot of different makeup and as a result I had a lot of different makeup that I had to choose from for this month. There was a lot more than this that I loved but I really had to narrow it down to what I love, love, love. Not every month am I going to be able to try and use so much makeup so I definitely took full advantage and filmed as much as I could and tried out as much as I could. We're gonna start off with the complexion products. I'm sure you guys can probably guess because I love this. I tried it out and that was it. I knew it was gonna be a favorite. This is the Pat McGrath new concealer that just came out. It's so funny because her foundation was so controversial. People were expecting it to be so much better than it actually was. I personally really liked her foundation but I can see some people finding it to be underwhelming. This concealer, as far as I can tell, everybody is loving it. It is a pretty full coverage concealer which is really interesting because the foundation that it pairs with is quite natural but it kind of balances I guess. I just wasn't expecting it to have so much coverage but this is a beautiful beautiful product. I have mine in LM9. It spreads out so easily. It really covers the under eyes very well and it looks extremely natural. It doesn't kick up and longevity is awesome with this. I would recommend also picking up the Sublime Perfection Blurring Under Eye Powder that comes with it. It comes in three shades. I just bought the light. These two are a power duo. I think that this really complements the concealer and makes it work and look so much better. I'm not one to always set my under eyes but I do find that when I use this on top of this concealer they work so well together. This really blurs the under eyes and it also makes the concealer last longer. A lot of times you'll find with complexion products that come out when it comes out with a matching powder. You don't really need the matching powder. I find that these really complement each other and I would recommend buying both so I've been loving these two products. They really make my under eyes look super bright and awake and very smooth and it lasts a long time so she killed it with this formula. Absolutely amazing and I know a lot of other people who agree with me as well. Alright, let's move on to cheek products or face products. So the first product that I want to talk about is from Alomar Cosmetics and this is the Brighton and Bronze Complexion Trio. They came out with three different shades. I just bought the Fairlight. They also have like a medium one and then a deep one. Obviously I am quite fair so I thought this would be a really great color and truly I love this mostly for the first two colors to contour my nose. The bronzer is very nice. It is what I use to bronze my face and I really do like this bronzer. It does spread beautifully and it's a very nice color but what really makes this palette stand out is this shade right here, Pale Wear. If you have a light complexion like myself and you're horrible at nose contouring like me, this makes it pretty foolproof. This is like the perfect color to put right down the sides of your nose and then you use your finger with a little bit of rising grind right in the center and it really contours your nose. So this is my answer to nose contouring if you are not good at nose contouring. These are the perfect colors if you have a light complexion and then you can add a little bit more intensity with this. This light shade is also really good for a very natural bronze to the outside of the skin or if you are extremely fair but the way I like to use it is this as a bronzer, this to contour my nose and this to kind of get in the center of my nose. I don't really like this powder to put on my under eyes because it does have this sheen to it that I find kind of reflects and emphasizes the texture underneath my eyes so I don't really like how this looks on my under eyes but I'll use it to brighten like certain areas of my face like the center or underneath the bronze. So I've been loving this trio. I think she did a fabulous job and the formulas are awesome and the colors she chose specifically so good. So been loving this somebody asked me man I'll talk about the brush that I use to apply the bronzer that you saw. This this month has been my go-to bronzer brush. This is from Ruffer. It looks like a Tom Ford brush and this is the number 22 brush. You can purchase this on their website right now or I believe if you buy this set you get this brush for free because it is kind of pricey individually but this is the perfect bronzer brush. I just it's so soft and it really hits all the right areas. Tom Ford no longer sells a natural hair brush with this shape because the Tom Ford brush I believe is what this is probably modeled after. This is natural hair. If you are unable to get your hands on the natural hair Tom Ford bronzer brush purchase this it's amazing and I've been using this every day for my bronzer. I don't want to cover this too much because I've talked about this product a lot on my channel but this is the Natasha Denona Love Glow Cheek palette. Now in my last video where I talked about new products at Sephora I pretty much said everything that I need to say about this palette but just in case you missed it not every product in here do I absolutely love. What I love the most is the glow cream base. This makes the most beautiful cream blush. It's not too deeply pigmented. It just has that right amount of color just to give you a little bit of a youthful glow and plump to your cheek right on the apples. It's so beautiful and I'm also very much in love with the glow impact powder. It's just a really good solid highlighter formula that doesn't emphasize texture and really gives you a nice glow and blends into the skin. What I'm not as crazy about but I do still enjoy is this super glow right here. So I'll put this right on top of the glow cream base just to add a little bit of color or if I want a really shiny cheek. If you don't like a shiny cheek you may not like this. I have to use this color very sparingly. This is really pretty and I do like it. I just don't use it every time. What I don't use is the diamond powder. This is like pure glitter honestly. It doesn't look good on the face for myself personally. I just don't like that look but I do think it is very pretty all over the eyelid but I definitely would have replaced this with something else. So I love these two products in particular so I find myself grabbing for this product a lot because of those two but I do use this one a lot. This one wasted space but overall collectively I've been grabbing for this palette a lot. It's been getting a lot of use this month so I wanted to feature it in this video because I have been using it a lot and loving it. I have a couple of blush items to talk about. So the first one I'm going to talk about is from the drugstore. This is the Almay Healthy Hue Blush in the shade Nearly Nude. I picked this up on a whim from Walmart and mind you the packaging is like horrible. It's just this very cheap cardboard but the formula of this blush this has the most healthy sheen to it so if you like a matte blush just be aware that this has a sheen. This is such a universal color. I think so many of you are going to love the formula on this. I can tell a good blush formula by when I use a powder foundation this still applies on the cheek just because a lot of times you'll find with blushes they need something to grab onto like that foundation but if you use a powder foundation there's nothing for the blush to really grab onto so I can really detect a good blush formula if it shows up on my powder foundation that I wear every day for work and this does it. It's such a beautiful everyday color. I've been wearing it pretty much every day to work and it's Almay. Almay is a brand doesn't really stand out to me sometimes but this blush is really good. This formula is really good. They really hit this formulation right when it comes to the finish because it is such a healthy glowy kind of blush where there is that sheen and I think that sheen also helps it blend out onto the cheeks super easy. I don't know like they call it healthy hue for a reason it literally makes you look healthy so if you want to try a new blush formula from the drugstore that's really good definitely give this one a go. Almay could probably use some love so next up is the blush that I'm wearing. I did wear it in my previous video as well but I can't get enough of it. This is the Dior Backstage Blush in rosy glow. I love a good pink blush. This is more of a matte finish and I mean you know what you could probably say this is pretty nondescript. It's not a really unique original blush but it is such a good blush. I love how tiny it is. I love grabbing for it because it's so cute. It's so pink. I love a good pink blush. It has a buildable formula so you can get it pretty sheer on the cheek but you can also build it up. It's more of a matte finish but I think it really just gives this really healthy look to the face and just a little bit of a pop. I just am really enjoying it and also another reason why I wanted to put in here was because I had to show you its best friend and that is the Dior Luminizer in rosy vibes so this is from their new spring collection. Look how stunning this highlighter is. Now this is a very sheer pink highlighter but it's not too too pink. You know how sometimes there's those pink highlighters that just aren't that wearable? Like you think they will be and then you put them on you're like that's kind of pink. Like this is a pink highlighter that is legitimately wearable especially when you pair it with this pink blush. These two are a match made in heaven. I have both of these on right now and something about these two just blend so seamlessly into each other. Like I said I was scared because this is kind of a pink highlighter but I find that this is actually quite wearable for every day and I love that little pink tint that kind of mixes in with your blush so even though it you can't be intimidated because it is pink it actually is quite wearable. The formula is stunning but I would definitely recommend if you're going to pick this up also pick up the blush because the two of them together fantastic. I've been wearing these two together and only these two together for a very long time now. Not really but for like three weeks and yes so good. Alright I have two eyeshadow palettes to share with you. A lot of great eyeshadows came out this month but I really had to narrow it down to the ones that I've truly been loving and both of these you've heard quite a lot about recently but I mean I'd be lying if I didn't put them in my favorites so the first is the Vizier Paris edit. I feel like I've been talking about this for such a long time but it it literally came out this month. I don't want to talk about it too much because I already have but it's just really tiny. Such a pretty color story from Vizier and these are my kinds of tones. I love cool tone mobby rosy types of shades so this has been one of my go-tos and I find the formula in here to be particularly good as well and it's just so cute. I don't have a ton of palettes that are like this type of tones and I love it. I used it for today. I did a very soft look using these colors and I like that you can really build this formula up to get quite a smoky not so natural look but you can also get a really pretty everyday look with this and the look that I'm wearing right now like it's still not super super cool tone so don't be afraid if you think cool tones don't look good on you because as you can see yeah it does run a little bit more cool but you don't literally get purple mobby looks with this palette. You can kind of go a little bit outside of that range so I've been loving this just such everyday friendly colors for me. It's such an easy palette to grab so highly recommend this and the last eyeshadow palette that I have I'm preparing for the hate but I feel so inspired by the Jeffree Star Cosmetics bloodless palette. I normally like his palettes but I feel like I've really been raving about this more so than I have all of his other palettes and yeah it does have to do with the fact that it's purple and purple is my favorite eyeshadow color. Now this isn't a palette that I've used a ton and I've worn out in public a ton. Actually I don't think I've ever wore a look out in public with this palette but I just feel so inspired by this palette. There's so many different looks that I want to create. Purples bring me alive so for me personally like I see so much potential that I can create with this palette because I love purple and I love purple looks. Now this palette does not come without flaws. I really hate the shape of this palette. It does not fit in my makeup drawer well at all. It's just so clunky and there's a couple shadows in here that burn my eyelids. Now the burning does go away and yes I have confirmed it is the eyeshadows that burn my eyes which sounds very not good and intimidating but honestly like the burning goes away and my eyes aren't that sensitive so whatever I can still see but just the overall fact that this inspires me so much and for the most part I do like the quality is what has led me to put that in this month's favorite and the last product is a lip product that I've been loving and using so often and this is from Dior. A lot of Dior products in here Dior did a nice job this year. This is the lip glow oil in the shade Rosewood and this is what I have on my lips right now, nothing else. I just raved about the Vizier Art lip oils. Now those are a much more slick formula. This one is much more thick and sticky. There's a time and a place for both but I think if you actually like want to wear the lip oil for an extended period of time this one definitely has a lot longer of a wear time. It's a lot more like a gloss but it still does moisturize the lips so much. What I like about this particular color is that when it does wear off there still is a bit of a stain to my lips where they still stand out on my face. There's just something about it that makes my lips look plump and juicy without adding too much colors so if you're not big on like lipsticks or anything this might be a product that you will really enjoy just to throw on for an everyday quick look to run out the door. This, a little bit of foundation powder and some mascara is pretty much my go-to look for work everyday so I've been loving lip oils and the Dior lip oil formula. I see why people are talking about it because it is a beautiful formula. I love this color and I just can't get over how shiny and plump and healthy my lips look. So that is all I have for this month's favorites. There's so many other products that I tried that I truly did love but I had to narrow them down and these are just what I've been grabbing for on a regular basis. Let me know down below what one of your favorite products were for this month. Thank you guys so much for watching this video. I hope you guys found it helpful.
