Even though February is literally the shortest month of the year, it feels like it went on for about 3 years. Anyway, last month I made quite a few new purchases, some high end, some super duper cheap, so there is literally something for everyone in last months round up. This was going to be a super packed favourites, but I tried to cut it down a little bit as there was going to be about 20 products in there, so I might do an updated one later or keep them for March – who knows! Anyway here are my February beauty must haves!
I talk a lot about E.L.F and my love for them I mean I wrote an entire post on them (if you’re looking to try them, check out my full blog post here) but I always need a good setting spray. This one is perfect, mainly because I am kind of loving the demi matte look, where I look glowy but not overly glowy because when I wear a foundation that is too hydrating by about 10am I look like you could cook lunch on my face. This over the top of my matte foundation is perfect because it leaves your skin looking amazing and your make up lasts a lot longer too!
Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume
I’ve actually talked about this perfume before but I had the roll on version in exactly the same scent and I genuinely couldn’t love it more. I find vanilla to be such a comforting scent, it’s so calming and I noticed that as the day went on the spray lasted so long! I put some on at 7am and I could still smell it at 5:45pm in the evening! It is a little pricy, but I love Pacifica beauty products so much, and they’re genuinely such great value for money!
Superdrug Layering Lab – Sorbet
Another thing I’ve talked about a lot is the Layering Lab at Superdrug, I have pretty much all of them because I find their body mists so cheap yet all vegan friendly and cruelty free and they smell amazing! I love this one as it has all my favourite things in it, including peach, plum and raspberry scents and if you’re the kind of person that loves a fruity scent then you will love this one! They have such an amazing range of scents that I am 100% sure if this one isn’t your kind of thing, you’ll find another one that is!
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation
I finally made my first Charlotte Tilbury purchase and I’m genuinely super happy! I have it in the shade 2 which I thought might originally be too dark for me, but it’s actually a perfect match! It leaves my skin feeling super soft and because I have pores like craters on my face it actually leaves my face looking amazing too! My pores look minimised and if I have any kind of break out issues, this foundation covers it! I’m also very impressed with how it blends out as I thought when it originally came out the bottle it was going to be difficult to blend but actually it was really easy and didn’t leave my skin feeling like a cake.
Pixi by Petra Flawless and Poreless Primer
Now just like with the foundation I need all the help I can get with my pores (I’ve actually been trying this with a different foundation so I know if it is the primer that was working or the CT foundation) and I noticed a massive difference with this primer. I was originally quite worried when it came out of the bottle because it had a colour to it but once I blended it into the skin it was 100% translucent. The only reason I’m mentioning the colour is it was darker than my skin tone so I was quite worried but it blended out, no colour and super soft. It doesn’t feel thick on the skin, it literally feels like a second skin when you put it on your face and my pores were undetectable with this primer. Again a little pricy but would 100% recommend it.
So those are my favourites for February, if you’ve tried any of these please let me know your thoughts!

I actually haven’t tried any of those products but I would certainly love to try the Superdrug Layering Lab Sorbet, it sounds just my kind of scent! I also love the sound of the Vanilla Pacifica Perfume. I’ve known about Pacifica for a number of years and still have yet to try any of their products! 🙂

I actually felt like February flew by. Not much happened in February for me though. Some really amazing products here <3

I remember when I worked in Superdrug I would spend a lot of my time spraying and testing the layering lab stuff, soooooo good! Not the biggest fan of the Charlotte Tilbury foundation though, their foundations just don’t sit nicely on my skin which makes me sad because I always see good things about them and you made it sound so wonderful!! Great post, lovely!
I felt like February was over so quickly! I love the sound of the Charlotte Tilbury Foundation, I’ve been on the lookout recently for some new foundation so this might be one for me to try!

I have to admit thatbI haven’t tried any of these products. They all look and sound fab, I would especially like to try Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation because I amm always looking for the new foundation since I still haven’t find the perfect one.
Oooh, I love the layering lab sprays! I got a ton at Christmas and was gutted when I ran out…I spray a lot haha. I’ve been on the lookout for good primers because I have bad pores myself, so I may look at that product! Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
I really want to try the Pacifica vanilla perfume. Vanilla is my favourite scent and I havent tried a vegan or CF fragrance yet because Im trying to use up ones I already own. X
I love the sound of the elf dewy setting mist. I have dry skin and a lot of setting sprays make me look so much worse when they dry down. This one sounds great. I would have loved to see the post with allll of the products in too x

I like the sound of that setting spray! Glowy but not too glowy, sounds brilliant. The magic foundation seems to be incredible too!
Thanks for sharing your faves x

I haven’t used that foundation in so long but I love it and now you’ve reminded me to dig it out again x
Oooohh the Elf mist sounds glorious!
That perfume sounds gorgeous, I love vanilla 😍

Sounds like you’ve had a great month in terms of the beauty products and I’m glad that so many of these worked out well for you – I’m a huge fan of ELF myself (unintentional rhyme haha!) but I’ve yet to try this setting mist. I tend to get oily later on in the day so this mist sounds like such a great idea to stop that from happening. Thanks for sharing!
Pores are quite literally the bane of my life at the moment! Both this foundation and primer sound really good though, definitely ones I will have to keep my eyes open for. Great post as usual – I always feel really inspired reading your beauty posts!
I love that Charlotte tilbury foundation! Loved reading about your February favourites x
I love Charlotte Tilbury products ! I honestly feel that once you start using her products it’s all downhill from there (take my money!) but I can’t say I have tried the magic foundation, though I have heard all good things about it.
Lovely review with a few products I’ve never tried before so really great to make some new discoveries 🙂 xx

I LOVE the sound of the primer and the foundation! I only have one thing from Charlotte Tilbury and it’s a lipstick but I really want to invest in some base products!
Alice Xx
Anything by Pacifia is so nice!
I definitely going to look for that Pacific perfume because it sounds heavenly!
vanilla has got to be my scent of the season!
Rosie
I love those sprays from Superdrug! Have you tried EXOTIC? It smells exactly like black opium and is great for layering with it!

ooh that elf mix sounds good!
Oo I haven’t tried any of these products before but they all look really great! Especially the pixi primer, that sounds like something that would be perfect for my skin! X
I love how E.L.F has grown so much over the years! I didn’t know they have a setting mist – I’ve tried other brands and they’re a life saver! Oooh, I love it when perfumes actually last the whole day. Thanks for sharing your February faves!!

Haha let’s just say I’m not a beauty blogger, I hardly own any cosmetics so I am in awe of you ever growing collection. I’ve always wanted to try the Pixi brand out but I may be waiting some time.
Lovely post as always! x
I haven’t used any of these products but I love the sound of the body mist – I can’t wear perfume as it’s always too strong for me but I love a good cosy mist so I’ll defo be looking into this!
