February is my birthday month, the month of LOVE and the shortest month.
Beginning of March Update: I am still holding onto my birthday (I still have my cards up and have only just threw away my helium birthday balloons), my husband & I don't really do Valentines day, and I can't believe it is already March! Argh life just flashes by... I know I sound "old" saying that but the more time goes by the more I realise it.
February was a bit different for me as far as favourites are concerned. For the majority of the month I didn't wear foundation at all which is quite rare for me but I did start a daily face routine to try and help me get "nicer" skin. I also have started trying to eat healthier and not spend as much money and both those goals are going well.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Sassy & Daring Wild
After hearing review after review on this dry shampoo I finally bit the bullet and bought it. Let me tell you I LOVE THIS!! I have tried other dry shampoo's and none had ever done what they said they should. But Bastiste is AMAZING! Seriously you know I mean it when I use capitals ;)
Natio Botanical Conditioner
My mum bought my husband this shampoo ages ago but we forgot about it. When clearing out the bathroom cabinet I found it so decided to use it and I really like it. It makes my hair really soft and gives it a nice texture.
Johnson's Face Care Moisturising Day Cream
Recently I have been watching my face with a cleanser or scrub and then applying a thick layer of this before bed. I know that this is a "day" cream and I should probably be using a "night" cream at night. But that's not how I roll :) It seems to be working and I like the lightness of the cream.
Maybelline Dream Fresh 8-in-1 BB Cream in Light
I started using this at the end of February but using it reignited my love for this BB Cream. I wouldn't say it's a "traditional" BB Cream but I really like it. The colour matches my skin really well and I love that it doesn't dry my skin out.
L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick 378 Velvet Rose
Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black
Another product that I have always loved but have recently fallen back in love with. This mascara does amazing things with my lashes; lengthening them and thickening them to the extreme! It's not expensive and is absolutely awesome!
Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof in Bronze
I absolutely love this colour. I have been wearing brown eye liner instead of black recently as it's a lot more natural and blends in well with my eyeshadows as I tend to pick natural colours. It has flecks of gold-y bronze which means it spices up every eye look.
Revlon Luxurious Colour Smokey Crayon in Bronze Smoke
This one is more of a brown then the bronze it claims to be but it still does have a few flecks in it. This one I like to blend out into my eyeshadows and I think you probably could use it as an eyeshadow if you were after a smokey eye look.

| L'Oreal 378, Covergirl 205, and both |
I know, I know this was in my mid month favourites but I still LOVE it!! I love the classy packaging and I love the creamy texture. It is a gorgeous bright pink colour... sort of a cross between hot pink and dusty pink if that makes sense :) I love it!
Covergirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Glass Balm in Ballet Twist (205)
I bought this in my birthday makeup haul and I really like it. I wasn't expecting too much from it but I really like it. It's a quite a sheer & pale pink and very moisturising. I like using it on top of my L'Oreal lipstick to tone the colour down.

Nescafe Caramel Latte
I don't think it needs to be said again but I will anyway... I love Caramel Latte!! I used to think that Nescafe wasn't as flavorsome as Moccona but now I have completely swapped my view. Now I love Nescafe and don't really like Moccona sachets as much (though their instant coffees is a lot better).
So those were my February 2014 favourites. A bit random I know but they are what they are :) What have you been loving this month? Anything I should be trying? Let me know!
