February Favorites

Anastasia Brow Whiz - Ash Blonde  
When I started filling in my brows I was 100% anti pencil. But after using the Anastasia Brow Whiz I’m not sure I could ever go back to using a powder ever again. This pencil is the perfect texture and applies flawlessly over foundation not to mention it’s the perfect blonde shade without having any red in it. 








Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer - Nude   
I purchased this tinted moisturizer at the end of January and haven’t been able to stop using it since. It offers a decent coverage for a tinted moisturizer and adds just the right amount extra moisture to my dry winter time skin. 




Benefit Watt’s Up!   
Just like I said in my review this highlighter perks up dry dull skin perfectly with it’s cream to powder finish and blends seamlessly over other powder cheek products.




It’s A 10 Miracle Hair Mask  
After getting my hair ombre’d at the end of January I was in need of a major pick me up for my hair and this did just the trick. Unlike other deep conditioning masks I could really see a difference in the quality of my hair after a few weeks of using this product. My hair feels a million times softer and more manageable after a few weeks of using this product. 




NYX Blush - Taupe   
For a super pale girl like me, this is the perfect color for adding a little dimension and color to my face without being too orange. I use this everyday to contour my face and add a little dimension to my crease while still keeping my look natural.

Watt's Up! - A Winter Skin Staple


Between bad weather, colds, and temperamental skin there has been a lot to keep me busy but there's nothing like finding a new product to perk up your face on a dreary winter day. 

While I’ve always been one to rely on a good contour to make my cheek bones pop, I finally decided to to dive into the world of highlighters for a little extra something. I recently purchased the Benefit Cosmetics “Watt’s Up!” 

As with all Benefit products the name and packaging are witty and vintage. The highlighter itself comes in a roll up tube with a sponge for blending on the opposite end. I prefer to use my fingers for blending the product the sponge does an adequate job as well. 

This is perfect highlighter for adding something a little extra to your skin on a dull winter day. “Watt’s Up!” is It’s champagne color blends seamlessly over make up with it’s cream to powder finish and catches what little light there is on a winter day to make your skin look glowing and radiant.
