I haven't done a favourites post in quite a while. I was stuck using the same products for a bit and just didn't see the fun in doing this post. I do have six favourite products to share with you for the month of February and definitely upcoming reviews for them all.
*Pantene KeraGloss Oil Mist: This, to me, feels comparable to a higher end product and I was really impressed to see minimal ingredients with a blend of 5 oils. I do condition my hair in the shower but since bleaching it I've had to take extra care with it. I use this to help tame any frizzies on my ends and it is so light that it doesn't weigh my hair down. My boyfriend did complain that I made his floor slippery though.. oops.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hr Foundation with Comfort Serum: I didn't think I'd have a colour match in this foundation but 103 True Ivory is a perfect match for my skintone. I hate the way this foundation applies with a brush but it covers well and lasts all day (I do however, need to use a setting powder). I found that this did break me out a bit, probably clogged my pores but I did love the coverage and lasting power.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer: This bronzer is always talked about by beauty gurus and I had it sitting in my drawer for quite a while because I felt like it was too pigmented and I was too pale for it.
I recently reviewed this and explain how to use it without depositing so much colour onto the face at once, here. I tend to just dab my brush onto a tissue before applying it to the face to reduce the pigmentation, now I can't stop using it and love how easy it is to work with. (Review here).
(Avail. at Sephora)
NYX Hd Concealer: I got this at Target a little after their announcement of leaving Canada. They had minimal shades left so I grabbed Porcelain and have been using it ever since to brighten under my eyes. It is a little too light and pink-undertoned for me but it works fine for days that I haven't self-tanned and I just dust some bronzer over to even it out with the rest of my skin. It is a somewhat thick and very pigmented concealer and I'm wearing it in a few of my recent reviews (here).
(Avail. at Ulta US)
Mac Small Contour 109 Brush: This brush is highly recommended by the beauty community for contouring. It is so foolproof and can contour and define my cheeks so easily with the right bronzer and this brush. I stopped using it for a while because I felt like it wasn't soft enough but have recently begun to love it again.
(Avail. at Nordstrom, MAC, Hudsons Bay)
Mac Lip Liner in Spice: I picked up this lip liner because of the whole Kylie Jenner overdrawn lip craze. I already have large enough lips but I wanted to emphasize my upper lip a little more. It glides on so smoothly and I don't find myself sharpening it often. It is the perfect outline for a neutral lip. I am also wearing it in my recent posts (here).
