February 2011 favourites!

These favourite posts are a work in progress for me.  So they may appear differently from month to month until I find a format that I like.  Anyway, here are the things I've been using more than others this month! 
FACE


Foundation: Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse with MAC MSF natural to set - still loving this combination, especially as my skin is a bit more dry with all this freezing cold weather

Concealer: Lancome Effacernes Concealer-got this with my Lancome gift with purchase, review pending

Eye primer: MAC's Painterly paint pot-love, this is a must have product


Highlight: Tarte Smooth Operator illuminating serum-been putting this on before my foundation, beautiful results


EYES, LIPS, CHEEKS


Eyes: Nars Ashes to Ashes; Benefit's Creaseless Shadow in Skinny Jeans - recent purchases I've been testing, reviews pending on both

Cheeks: Maybelline NY Expert Wear blush in Plushed Plum - not sure if this was being discontinued because I got this on a clearance sale last fall, gorgeous deep plum color that I use as both a blush and contour; Hoola by Benefit - I forgot how much I love this bronzer, I've been scraping the last bits of it from the bottom of the pan, I haven't been using this on my cheeks as much but a few sweeps across my forehead to just to warm up my face a bit

Lips: Revlon Soft Nude; Balmshell mini gloss in Shopaholic; Aquaphor - not a lot of color I know but Soft Nude looks great with a bit of Shopaholic over top and Aquaphor is just great at keeping my lips nice & soft


HAIR


Just a quick hair product suggestion.  I use whatever I can to keep my hair feeling moisturized in this dry, cold weather.  This is a great little leave in conditioner that smells amazing to boot.  Even better, you can usually find it for under $4 at the drugstore.

So what about you, what are your favourites this month?

    THese look great .. I've been wanting to try a nude lipstick for awhile now, as I actually don't own a single one! Maybe I"ll try that Revlon one.

    MAC's painterly paint pot is indispensable, and I'm also loving Hoola and Revlon's soft nude lippie!

    I'll have to try the sleek and shine leave in conditioner...my hair is beyond dry lately (it's SO COLD here!)

    Great post! I want to try Benefit's Hoola, it's such a pretty color and I've heard rave reviews. I forgot to tell you I finally tried Maybelline's Dream Mousse concealer and I'M IN LOVE!

    I love the garnier fructis leave-in-conditioner as well! The smell is sooo lovely and it really keeps my hair moisturized and frizz-free.
