Ahhhh, how is it almost March? February basically flew by, and it was honestly a great time. With fashion week, settling back into NYC, and getting back into the swing of classes and city nights, it's been a blast. This month I have a lot of pink favorites, ironically, but let's get started>>>>
Makeup
01. Mac's Pigment in Tan- Been using this nearly every day on my lid, foiled with my Mac 239. It's a nice bright shimmer that's great with a deep crease and a black wing, which is usually the look I'm sporting. I like pairing this with Mac's Soft Brown, Cork, or Mulch.
02. Mac's Green Smoke- Totally rediscovered this shadow this month! It's amazing for deepening up a day to night eye- just pop a little in your outer corner and you're good to go. It takes a few strokes of the brush and some blending to fully get the color, but it's totally worth it and compliments any eye color.
03. NARS Oasis- A rosy-gold blush I've been reaching for all month! This is a bit of a muted version of Mac's Plum Foolery, and I really like the more neutral but still radiant flair it gives. I'd recommend this blush to anyone in search for something to brighten up dry winter skin.
04. Benefit's Moonbeam- On my nights out, I've been loving Moon Beam for my cheek highlight! I love the goldy-rose shimmer it gives, and I like to apply it by dotting three dots of this product on each of my cheekbones. I then blend it in with my fourth finger. The shine gives a beautiful frame to any skin tone.
05. Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine- Another product in my collection that I rediscovered this month, and can I just say.... it's HEAVEN! Perhaps the creamiest, most moisturizing lip balm I've ever used. It'll totally rescue the dryest and chapped of lips.
06. Mac's Rags to Riches- In lieu of Pantone's Color of 2014, Radiant Orchid, I've been loving a purpley-pink lip. Rags to Riches is a gorgeous glitter-filled dazzle glass that I've been reaching for, and it's like the perfect radiant orchid shade without being too overwhelming!
07. Mac's Snob- Another inspired lip from "Radiant Orchid!" It's a great purpley pink that's a lot bolder than the Rags to Riches look. Snob is a great color if you're looking to switch up your makeup and have a little fun.
Beauty
08. Mac's Brush Cleanser- I've been totally spot cleaning my brushes a ton more than I ever have before (partly because I find that eyeliner brushes and other eye brushes apply shadow or liner a lot easier if spot cleaned). So, I've been using my Mac Cleanser EVERYDAY! I like to clean my angled eyeliner brush with this before I do my winged liner. I find that the line comes out a lot cleaner and smoother with a clean brush every morning.
09. Soap & Glory's Flake Away Exfoliator- This is my third or fourth time repurchasing this exfoliator (the last time being over the summer) and I am so happy I stumbled upon it once again! This is perfect for any time of year.. especially winter months.. and it smells simply glorious. It leaves your skin completely soft and silky.
Fashion/ Accessories
10. Dr. Martens- Ahhh, am I so happy I got my hands on a pair of these. I've been wearing my white-patent leather Dr. Martens a ton this month, and I now want a second pair. (Perhaps Black Matte....!)
11. H&M Bib Necklace- This was a great purchase for me, affordable & super cute. I'd definitely run over to your nearest H&M to check out the bib necklaces they have going on, they're going to be huge for Spring.
Instas
01. NYFW WRAP PARTY @ The Highline Hotel
02. Poloroids taken with my Fujifilm Insta Mini
03. Happy Birthday Killer Queen!
04. New York Fashion Week
I hope everyone had as much as a blast as I did this month!
