February Favorites

I usually post fashion on Fridays but since I really wanted to do my first ever monthly favourites and February ended yesterday I decided to post about that today instead. If I have enough time I will post fashion as well. Anyways, let's get to the favourites. First of all, definitely Nivea's lip butter in Caramel Cream is top of the list, I posted about it a while ago and you can find the link here: Nivea Lip Butters. I also loved (and still love) Nearly Naked foundation by Revlon - link here: Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Pressed Powder - however, there was something about the powder that put me off after using it a little more, I think I need to try a lighter shade maybe. So I got Maybelline's Fit Me! powder and it works amazing, I have a feeling it's going to be my favourite for a long time. I've also been loving Maybelline's Color Tattoos in Pink Gold and On and On Bronze, they look brilliant as everyday makeup and don't need a primer (I posted about Color Tattoos before too: Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows). Last but not least, I got L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti topcoat on my favourites list and honestly, it's the best topcoat I've ever used (I blogged about it a couple of weeks ago when I combined it with Barry M's pastel nail polishes: L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti Topcoat). Oh, and I almost forgot, there's also Rimmel's primer which I already managed to re-purchase, unfortunately it doesn't last very long but it works wonders so I don't mind re-purchasing every 6-8 weeks (link here: Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer).

L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti Top Coat

While I've been looking through blogs a couple of days ago I spotted L'Oreal's confetti top coat a couple of times and fell in love with it. So I went looking for it yesterday and as it usually happens, ended up getting more than just that. Since spring is now just around the corner I decided to use Boots' offer 3 for 2 once again, this time on Barry M nail polishes and got 3 pretty pastel shades. My excuse was 'it would look great with that top coat'. And so it does.  But then again, L'Oreal's confetti looks great with pretty much anything since it's black and white, but never mind. I was so happy with the results, it looks even better once on nails than it does in the pictures. I know already I will be using it quite a lot. Plus it doesn't take ages to take off as glitters usually do. It comes off just like the usual nail polish. I can tell this little bottle of black and white glitter will be a hit and we can expect more amazing top coats to come real soon.
L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti Top Coat: £4.99
Barry M nail polish: £2.99 (each)

Eyeliner: L'Oreal Super Liner

^ From top: Super Liner in Black Crystals, Super Liner Ultra Precision in Noir/Black, Super Liner Perfect Slim in Intense Black.

I have been through more eyeliners than I can count really, but never found one that would stay on without smudging or fading for longer than a couple of hours. I tried pencil, gel and liquid eyeliners but none of them would satisfy my needs in terms of looking good all day or night, I would have to re-apply over and over again. With some it would take a long while to get the line opaque. Then I've seen how much hype L'Oreal Super Liners were getting so I got one in Black Crystals to give it a go. I was so impressed when every time I checked my makeup in the mirror I would find the eyeliner perfectly black and in place, I went to get the other two. Ultra Precision liner is just as good, but I was a little disappointed with the Perfect Slim. It is the easiest one to apply but it does not stay on for as long and smudges after a while. In comparison, the other two eyeliners would survive the night, I feel asleep wearing Super Liner in Black Crystals a couple of times and the next morning it still looked like as if I just applied it. 

The sponge tip feels really nice and soft, which I would choose any day over a brush. It also dries within seconds so I don't have to worry about accidentally closing my eyes too quick. What is more, even though it stays on for ages and ages, it comes off really easily when taking make up off. I was expecting to pay around £10, but it was £6.49 in Superdrug (not sure about Boots, but probably more less the same).

I am absolutely loving this product and would recommend to anyone looking for a good eyeliner.
