February 2012 Favourites ♥

Well, it looks like February has come and passed quite quickly! This means one thing, the beginning of March! Ok, so maybe that's not what I was going for... It's time for my February Favourites!

My absolute most favourite of my favourites is the Maybelline "Baby Lips" lip balm collection. When they first came out I was on a wild chase to hunt them down, I HAD to try them. Once I tried one, I bought the entire collection. Yes, I may have a problem, HOWEVER, I absolutely LOVE these lip balms. The one I use the most frequently is Peppermint. In fact, I've bought 2 of them now & I'm almost finished the second. My lips seemed to have gotten really dry this winter, these were my go-to lip balms. They really hydrated my lips. The fun thing about them also, is how some of them are tinted. So depending on the scenario, the different colours added a little pop to my face! I'd also like to add how fabulous they all smell! Its available in Quenched, Peppermint, Cherry Me, Grape Vine, Pink Punch & Peach Kiss! I cannot say enough good things about these lip balms!

My next favourite is my new favourite mascara. One by one Volum'Express Mascara by Maybelline. I honestly never thought I'd get over my old favourite mascara (Cover Girl Volume Exact) BUT I HAVE! Probably a good thing, I'm not entirely sure they make that one anymore.. It's getting harder to find anyway. I really love the applicator and formula of this mascara. It's also buildable, something I always look for in mascara. I have a mascara obsession. I always try new mascara, but seem to continuously resort back to old favourites. This is my new love... for now.

My last favourite for this month is the Essie Luxe Effects in "Shine of the Times." I ordered this online after seeing some videos talking about it. I was very eager to test it out! Holy smokes! I am in love. I've worn this a few different times this month over a black, royal blue & currently teal. I love how gorgeous this is, & it looks different depending on what colour you wear it over top of. I really love the teal right now. It's been my favourite combination. :) I also really love how it holds up, when I apply it, it usually lasts for a week before I need to re-do it or when I get bored. LOVE LOVE LOVE. The combinations are endless! I really do like the flaky top coat idea. I know that China Glaze also has some of these, but I was unable to locate them. (I'm now on a mission!)

Anyhow, I'm going to stick to a top 3 favourites kind of thing each month. So, that's about it for me. What are YOU loving this month?
