 Hi, YouTube family. Welcome into February favorites. The month is over and this is what we do at the end of the month. We go through the things that I've been enjoying. I will tell you guys that February has been very challenging for me with my health. So I haven't worn a lot of makeup, but on the days that I have, I've picked out some really great things. So we're going to get into that. But first, before we do, if you're new to my channel, please subscribe by clicking the red button below and don't forget to hit the little bell icon next to it so that you can be notified of any future videos that I might be having. And if at the end you do like this video, please give it a thumbs up or if you just feel like giving a thumbs up, do that right now if you wouldn't mind. So let's get into what I was loving from those haul videos that I showed you guys this month. The first thing, this is the EcoTool Sponge and I have had different sponges from them in the past. This one is just a nice sponge, long cutout right here and cutout on the other side a little bit shorter. And then on the top, it has kind of a flat edge right there that's really good for getting right up underneath your eyes. It's very soft, very spongy. I really do like it. I did use it today on my foundation, so I apologize that it's dirty. But I really have been enjoying that one very economical compared to a Beauty Blender if you're interested in that. I also mentioned this month the Rimmel State Matte Powder and I have it in, let's see, 11 Creamy Natural. You guys, this looks really light, but it has worked really well for me. When you first stick your fingers in here, you don't feel like it's super creamy. But when I go to put this on my face, the blurring properties that it has are just so good. And then even working it into my fingers like this as I'm doing, it just feels creamy after that. So this is one that I'm really enjoying. I don't use a lot of powder. I do a very, very light dusting over my foundation just to set it. But this powder is really nice. I actually have been using this underneath my eyes the past couple of days. So I have even liked it just to set there very lightly as well. When I did my empties video this month, several of you asked me since I wasn't using the Timeless Vitamin C anymore what I was using. The Timeless Vitamin C I think is such a good product. And I would highly recommend that to you guys if you guys are interested in a Vitamin C. But what I needed was something that was going to be very, very low on the irritation scale because Vitamin C can be. And my neck and my decollete have really been giving me fits lately as far as how sensitive they are. And especially if I try to use Vitamin C on there. But I wanted to continue to use Vitamin C because it's so good to use in conjunction with your retin A. And so I have been using a different one. I know that I will probably botch the name of this, but it is a 20% Vitamin C solution in Vitamin F. And it says it's a high strength oil solubilized. Vitamin C and it's in a vitamin C derivative in Vitamin F. So it's a Scorbal Tetra So Palmitate. I hope I said that right. I probably didn't. But this is a little bit oily. And so if you're going to use it, you probably wouldn't use it in the AM. I always use it in the PM. I just I really like the Vitamin F that it's in because what happens is it goes on your face. There's absolutely no stinging whatsoever that I sometimes got when I was using Vitamin C, just the regular one. So this is really good. It's very high strength of Vitamin C, but very low irritation level. So this one is one that I've been I've been really digging that one. Talked about Lash Paradise not being a decent formula and that it didn't work really good on makeup that I really didn't like. But I've been trying their primer and I really actually do like the primer. It feels like it's got I don't know. It's just a very different texture. I can't really even explain it to you guys. The brush is very much the brush is exactly the same as the Lash Paradise. I do have it on as my primer today. It just it's very pretty when you put it underneath stuff. If you want to build the volume, it's really great for that. But what have I been wearing for mascara this month is the CoverGirl Exhibitionist Mascara. This also has an exact brush as the Lash Paradise and the better than sex one. However, the difference is this never flakes. I do have this in the waterproof formula, so that could be why. But I was watching Mary, my friend, Mary from Glitzy Fritzy. Hi, sweetie. I was watching her and I think she probably had it in the regular formula. And she said it was not flaking. The other two flake very bad on me, but this one is just so good. The other thing that I do like about it is before it completely dries down, you know, you go from your one eye to the other eyes, you're doing it. If I go back and forth, I can build and build and build and it's so nice. So this one is one that I would recommend. And you know what, this is one that one of you guys recommended to me. So I'm very grateful to whoever did that. Thank you. It's really good. And by the way, on that referral, I'm still working on that video where I do the makeup that you guys liked and that you chose for me. I have been recently just going through some major health issues with a medication that the doctor put me on. So I have another week of that medication. My hands are really bad right now. You guys know, I have a palsy in my hands and this particular medication has made me like times that by 20 because it's just been so hard on my nervous system. So I do get to go off that medication, but I have to taper down. Long story short, I will have a video up for you guys where I'm doing the full face of makeup for what you guys chose for me. I haven't forgot about that. I still really want to do that for you guys. But I just wanted to explain to you what's going on and why I haven't done it yet, even though I put it on the community tab. Morphe has this brush. It is the M406. I got this when I was at Ulta and it's got the duo fiber on here. And I think I already talked about this. It's just so nice and airy and it's perfect for laying down blush without laying down too much blush. And that's what I love about it. I have an it brush that became my absolute favorite with the duo fibers and very light and airy like that. It was just really inexpensive one and I wanted to find you guys one that was just more cost effective and this is it. And it's such a good brush. I'm so glad that I found it just really light, really airy. You can put down a little blush at a time instead of too much. And you can build it up too. So loving that one. I do want to recommend this one because this is the Neutrogena Ultrashare Liquid Broad Spectrum SPF with Helioplex technology. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but this is such a light and airy and lovely sunscreen. You guys can hear that ball rolling around. So you give it a good shake. But let me show you how very light it is. Look at it. It's just very light and it's just very, very thin. And what's so great about that is it doesn't add another layer to your makeup moisturizer, you know, all of primer, all of those layers that you're putting on your skin, super light, I mean, super light. It just becomes one with your skin immediately. The other thing that I can do is I can put a little bit in my hand, you know, mix it around and during the day, if I'm out somewhere in the sun, I can put that on top of my makeup and it not disturb my makeup because it is so, so light. If it were greasy or anything like that, I don't think that I would could be able to do that, but I can do just a little bit of dabbing on there to keep the sun at bay a little bit throughout the day. OK, I did pick up this BH Cosmetics Blushing in Bali, a color blush and highlighter palette. This is so much fun, you guys. This is really pigmented on the blushes. The colors on them, you have like a pale pink, like a rosy peachy pink and then kind of a plummy pink and the colors on them are just so pretty. And they are definitely very pigmented. That's one of the things that I like about it. And then the highlighters, they're very pretty too. Soft formula, it's really a soft formula. This highlighter right here is a copper. I'm too fair skin to wear that on my skin. But if you're any deeper color, I bet it would just look absolutely fantastic on you. The colors are just pretty and vibrant. And as I've worked with it throughout the month, I just have thought it was so pretty. I'm actually wearing it on my cheeks today so you guys could get a sneak peek of that. I just think it's so very beautiful. The Tarte Face Tape Foundation, I just did a review for you guys and I'm pretty sure it would have gone up before this video. So just so you know, this is probably my new favorite foundation. I just really love that. I'll make sure that I link that video so that you guys can watch it. It is very mature skin friendly as far as my skin goes. Now I do have the issue of having extremely dry skin and I have large pores. I just felt like it did really well, lasted well throughout the day, kept me not like dewy, but definitely hydrated, which I did like about it. I just felt like it was a really good new choice for me and I'm excited about it. A while back, I did a review on the new things that are from Milani this time of the year. This is the Silky Matte Bronzer and I feel like, yes, it is very silky. It is so pretty. And this is Zero Two Sun Kissed. What I love about this particular one is that it doesn't pull very orange on me, which is so important for me. That's a highlighter. If something pulls too orange for me, then my makeup is going to look very off. But this one doesn't. It does say on the website that it is a cool brown color or cool. I can't remember what it said as far as the actual color, but I did say it was a cool tone, more cool toned. And I feel like that. It's just so pretty. I feel like you could also use it as a contour and, you know, then, you know, all over bronze and you'd be out the door. So this has been really pretty. Also in my lure box this month, I got from the Brow Gal this Brow Gel Eyebrow Gel and it just really is a fun, nice product. And the reason is, is because I absolutely love this little brush. It's teeny tiny. And if you guys have ever seen the IT Cosmetics Tightline Mascara, that's what that's like. I think Maybelline has one of them. That's that little tiny brush. But what's really nice for me about that brush is that I can do tiny, tiny strokes with it and it doesn't disturb what I've already done with my pencil and it sets it down, but it gives it a little bit more volume. So been really enjoying this and it's been a really good color for me to. Okay, from ColourPop. I don't remember if I put this in last months or not. But this is a gorgeous little palette. It's called It's My Pleasure. This little palette, you guys, is so stinking pretty. I am, I'm just super impressed. I feel like ColourPop keeps getting better and better all the time. When it comes to their pressed shadows, I feel like as far as the drug store goes, you cannot beat them. So that little palette, to me, they really have stepped up their game. It is nine pans, you get a mirror and the packaging has changed to being a plastic packaging, which I think is a little bit nicer than their actual cardboard packaging. This palette in particular, the colors on here, you guys know how much I love purple, but it has some interesting colors that just really speak to me to more, you know, that go more into the lines of being fuchsias and mobs and, you know, just having different textures. And this is one that I really like. I have been loving and I'm actually going to the store and picking up more of these. The Wet and Wild New Liquid Gloss Lipsticks. These are so opaque, you guys, this one in particular. This one, I don't know what the name is, but I'll show you right now. But it's a high gloss, but it's an opaque gloss and it's so pretty, you guys. This one is Chick Got Real, which they have the funniest names. It's not super heavy. It's not super sticky, but I'm a gloss person, so I love gloss. So any of those formulas don't bother me, but I really have liked this one. And I'm thinking about going and getting more. This is definitely my color. It's a perfect color for me. I also want to mention to you guys the Infallible Eight Hour Pro Glosses. I love these, you guys. I have had this one that is 115 and it's called Blush Forever. And this time I picked up the 805 Suede. I just really love both of these, you guys. They aren't, these aren't opaque. They do have some that are opaque. These are more like toppers, but what is so great about them is the lasting power. Now, if you're going to eat something, no, you're not going to have that lasting power that might last through lunch or anything because it is a gloss. But look how shiny and pretty they are. Actually, all three of them, aren't they just gorgeous? Just so shiny. If you're looking for a gloss topper, these last you such a long time as far as how long they wear. If you were not to eat anything and you're going about your day, you know, if you're drinking out of a straw, maybe, you know, they might come off a little bit more, but so pretty on that formula and I'm just really in love with it. And I know that this has been out for a long time, but I wanted to mention it to you guys. So I think that's everything in my monthly favorites. You guys, thank you so much for being here with me. Don't forget to give it a thumbs up if you did like it. At the end screen, I am going to put up my playlist for my past monthly favorites so that you guys can see if you want to what I've been loving. I do hope that you're having a great day and I'll catch you guys all in my very next video. Love you guys. Bye bye.
