Hey everyone! Wow! I seriously cannot believe we are at the end of February already. I feel like I JUST showed you all my go to products in January. But, here we are.. another month of my all time favorites! Beauty items, food items, random items.. anything goes! Let’s jump right in!
China Glaze – Re-fresh Mint
I love mint greens for spring.. and this one is a complete stand out. If you don’t have it, I highly recommend it! Re-fresh mint is from the Up & Away collection that was released in 2009 I believe. You can still pick this up at your local Sally’s or Ulta for roughly $4.99
Sally Hansen – Barracuda
Barracuda has been on my lemming list for months. I have never seen so much blogger buzz regarding a nail polish.. but now I can understand why. When I got a message from a fan stating she randomly found one in her grocery store and was going to send it to me, I was THRILLED. And then of course it popped up on ebay so you know I had to snag a backup. So thank you Christy! 😉 Right now the only place to purchase this color would probably be ebay… it is unfortunately discontinued. 🙁
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter – Lollipop
If you haven’t picked up any of these new lip butters by Revlon yet.. here is one you should definitely run & grab. Lollipop is a gorgeous vibrant pink with a hint of shimmer. This product keeps your lips moisturized and has great pigmentation! Lip butters can be found at your local drugstore and retail for around $9.00
Milani Baked Blush – Luminoso
One word. Gorgeous. This blush is said to be a dupe for Nars Orgasm. So if you’re looking for an inexpensive blush for spring, Luminoso is perfect! This blush can be found at your local drugstore and retails for around $7.50
Rimmel London Natural Bronzer -Sun Dance
Sun Dance has always been one of my go to bronzers. It’s affordable & a dream to apply. This bronzer does have a slight shimmer to it. Gives a gorgeous glow to your face! Sun Dance & other Rimmel London products can be found in your local drugstore for $4-$5. How awesome is that price!?
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation – 5.25
If you have the chance to splurge on a foundation, please splurge on this one. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this product is. I have been applying it with my beauty blender and it goes on so well. My face does not feel heavy nor does this get caky. I use this sparingly because I know how expensive it it.. but trust me…a little bit goes a LONG way! I love the fact that it has a pump as well.. makes it easier to control how much product you’re using. Giorgio Armani Silk Foundation can be purchased at nordstrom.com for $59
Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes
I just talked about this mascara on facebook this past weekend. I LOVE it! After I’m done applying, my lashes hit my brow bone.. say goodbye to falsies! The wand is phenomenal as well.. Makes it easy to apply to the bottom lashes which is something I don’t do very often. Needless to say, this is my 2nd tube and I plan on using this for quite some time. Loreal Voluminous Lashes can be found at your local drugstore & retails for $8.00
Lorac Eyeshadow – Serenity
Serenity is a beautiful bronze / gold shade from Lorac Cosmetics. This is something I have just been able to throw on every day and not have to worry about it creasing or flaking off. Definitely wearable for every day & for everyone! Lorac Serenity can be purchased at sephora.com, ulta.com or beauty.com for $19
Mac Perfume – Turquatic
Turquatic is a perfume I have been using for over a year now. MAC sometimes goes & discontinues it for awhile and then realizes it’s a dumb mistake because of how popular it is and brings it back. I am not lying when I’m telling you guys this is probably my 6th bottle.. and as you can kind of tell.. it’s almost gone. It’s described as a classic sea inspired fragrance, but I would describe it as perfection. Seriously.. amazing. Next time you’re at the MAC counter – pick this up! Mac Turquatic is available at your MAC counter or maccosmetics.com for $28 (They raised the price by $3 as well.. ugh)
Glisten & Glow Body Wash – Sangria White Peach
If you don’t know by now, I LOVE my Glisten & Glow products. I cannot stop talking about them. This particular one is by far my favorite. Sangria White Peach is one of G&G’s best selling fragrance and there is absolutely no question as to why that is. It smells DIVINE. If you have not checked out Glisten & Glow, please do and purchase a few of her items. They can be personalized and YOU get to pick from over 90 scents! You can find Glisten & Glow products at facebook.com/glistenandglow
Van Houtte Coffee – White Chocolate Mint
I saw this at Bed, Bath & Beyond and nearly had a heart attack. It is absolutely DELICIOUS! Goes perfect with a splash of french vanilla creamer!
Bethenny After After… Season 3
Bethenny is definitely hands down my favorite housewife.. well.. ex housewife. She’s real, she’s raw, she’s hilarious. If you’ve never seen her show, tune into Bravo on Monday night’s at 9pm EST. Love her & her gorgeous family!

Favorite Blogger of the Month ~ The Nail Files
So that’s it! What were some of your favorites for the month of February? Will you be checking any of MY faves out? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
xo
I love these posts and yeah Nail Files for being blogger of the month
What no food this month?
Couldn’t decide on just one 🙁
Lovely! I need one of these minty polishes!
Awesome, The Nail Files for blog of month! 😀
Okay, I am now going to run…well, drive, to my nearest BB&B and see if they have that Van Houtte White Chocolate Mint. It’s very close to my favorite Starbucks addiction, Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha. I think this could be the closest thing I can buy to it to have anytime I want. This is on my to-do list for tomorrow. WOOHOOOOO!
