February Favourites 2019

February Favourites 2019

Please ignore the Kiko mascara, it’s not mentioned in this post and I have no idea why I included it in this post. What a professional blogger.

It is favourites time again! I actually had this post written up at the end of February, but I didn’t want to post it as it was pretty much straight after my January favourites. I love favourites, but I wanted to space it out a little bit. At least now there’s been some space in between.

Let’s get into my February Favourites 2019!

Tarte | Tarteist Pro Glow – Strobe

February Favourites 2019 | Tarte Strobe

Considering I’ve had this palette for a while now, I have no idea why I’ve not mentioned it before! This highlighter is such a beautiful colour, and I have been loving the formula too. Strobe is a gorgeous white gold with a soft texture, it applies beautifully and is blinding with two layers.

Tarte | Tarteist Pro Glow – Sculpt

I have been loving this as a contour shade for so long now. It has come across a little darker due to the edit in the photo rather than what it is. I use this on my cheekbones, but I tend to go over it with a bronzer just to add more definition. Sculpt is not that pigmented, but I don’t find that a problem, as I’ve never applied too much. It builds really nicely and is easy to work with too.

Nars | Sheer Glow Foundation

This is an old favourite, but I love the finish. Considering it’s called Sheer Glow, it’s not very sheer. It’s more medium coverage, but can be built up. It doesn’t look cakey and blends so easily. It lasts on the skin and doesn’t make my skin look dry.

Barry M | Speedy Quick Dry – Kiss Me Quick 

This is kind of cheating, as I’ve only used it towards the end of the month. After my declutter, I have rediscovered shades in my collection and I have fallen in love with this one. It is the cutest baby pink, and is opaque with two coats. Plus with it being from the speedy quick dry range it dries really quickly too.

Urban Decay | Beached Bronzer

I know I mentioned this in my November favourites, but I love using this to warm my face up. I’m mainly looking forward to using this in Summer, but it’s helping to combat the pale for now. What I like about this, is that it’s sheer, but easy to build up. I don’t want to go into too much detail, as I went over it in the November favourites.

Galaxy Chocolate Crème Wafer Curls

February Favourites 2019 | Galaxy Wafer

As you can see the diet is going very well. I spotted these and they went straight into my basket. These combine two of my favourite things; Galaxy chocolate and wafer. The filling isn’t very creamy, but it’s still delicious. It basically tastes like galaxy chocolate and wafer, and I love it.

Booking a Holiday!

In February my boyfriend and I booked a holiday, and I couldn’t be more excited! We initially struggled to pick a destination, but after being in the travel agents for three hours, we booked Tenerife. I wish I was joking about being in the Travel Agents for so long, but I really wanted to make sure we booked the right place. It’s paid off, as it looks so beautiful, and I can’t wait!

There we have it! That was February Favourites 2019!

What were you loving in February?

Thank you for reading!

    I repurchased the Nars foundation a couple of weeks ago, I forgot how much I used to love it. However, the lid really stresses me out haha! The Tarte contour and highlight shades look so good!

      I’m glad you still love it too! The lid is so annoying, I’ve been meaning to buy the pump for ages, but it’s so frustrating having to pay for is separately. I love them a lot xx

    Your favorites always sound amazing! I love the look of the Tarte highlighter and bronzer. I’ve been on the hunt for a bronzer that isn’t too dark and is subtle, and that one looks like it could be perfect. And your upcoming holiday sounds like it’s going to be beautiful! I hope you have a great time on your trip x

    The tarte palette looks lovely! I quite like sheer glow in summer. I find it a little drying in winter. I remember when I used to see people talking about those Barry M polishes everywhere, such an old favourite. Great selection of products here x

    I remember saying how much I wanted to try that Urban Decay bronzer when it came out but I’ve just never gotten around to actually purchasing it… oops. I struggle with bronzers and contour shades as because I have such light hair and yellow toned skin, a lot of things look orange on me. I find ashy shades a lot easier to work with! I’ve heard so many people rave about Nars Sheer Glow but it’s also something I am yet to try. Other than that foundation, I don’t actually tend to hear a lot about Nars so I think that’s why it always tends to slip my mind!! Those Galaxy wafer curls look and sound SO dreamy, I need to find them somewhere!!

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠

(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
