February Favourites

Ok, so I really do apologise with how infrequent I’ve been this past week. I’ve just been so busy with work starting again now that it’s getting into wedding season – yay - (I work at a hotel!) and I’ve got a heap of homework and revision on my plate at the mo, so I really do apologise. Hopefully I’ll be back to my normal blogging next week!

This is slightly delayed, but better late than never right? Here are my February Favourites, just a few things that I’ve got quite a bit of use out of or I purchased last month, that I’d like to share with you!

1.      I picked up these jeans quite recently at Vero Moda (and yes, I am becoming slightly addicted to that shop.) They’re called ‘super stretch skinny jeans’ and they’re so so comfy! I got this pair in the darkest-wash colour and I absolutely love them. They are really similar to Topshop’s Leigh jeans which are also ‘supersoft’ but I’d say these are better quality. They even come in long length (yay for tall people) and they were easy to find by size and length in store (unlike topshop!)

2.      Next up, is this Nivea express hydration primer, which I absolutely love. I bought the blue one a few months ago, which is for ‘normal/combination’ skin and it’s been lovely. It is a really good quality primer, not too thick or too watery and it does a really good job of smoothing out all the corrections on your face, before you apply foundation. I highly recommend you try it out, I loved it so much I went and bought another, only this time I got the ‘dry skin’ pink pot to try.

3.      Nombre trois. The other day I was having a bit of a rumble around in my wardrobe looking for something, and I re-found this top! It’s a simple navy tee that I bought shortly after Christmas in the Zara sale. It reads : ‘L’amour ne dure pas toujours mais rien de mieux que de rêver. Alors rêvons’ which means ‘Love doesn’t always last forever, but there’s nothing better than to dream. So dream’. I thought it was really cute, I’m so glad I found it too, as I’m going to Paris at the end of the month. It only cost about £5, which is pretty good going don’t you think?

4.      If you haven’t tried Benefit’s ‘They’re real’ you are really missing out - it’s gorgeous! I picked this up in House of Fraser for £14.50, £5 off woo, and I honestly haven’t put it down since – it makes my lashes so long! I find the best way to apply it, is very slowly as it can clump if you try to rush it, but once you’ve got the knack, you’ll be fine. If you’re thinking of purchasing this, keep an eye out in Debenhams and House of Fraser, as they often have flash sales on Benefit products!

5.     Lastly, is a beautiful skirt that I got on ebay! It was brand new with tags and everything. Originally from Urban Outfitters’ ‘Pins and Needles’ label a cute a-line skirt in this ditsy yellow daisy print – perfect for spring. And I was so happy to find that it fitted perfectly! And it did help that it was almost 70% off the original price. Gotta love a bargain eh?

Et Voila! That’s all my February favourites, hopefully I’ll be doing this kind of post every other month, so let me know what you think via Twitter or right here.

Lots of love,

Roseanne
