Without further ado, welcome to my February Favorites post and here are the products I've been loving this month:
People says that skin care starts now when you are young so here I wanna start with eye cream. One rule: don't let moisturizer take care of the skin area around your eyes, use eye cream! It moisturizes, it will help to reduce dark circles, it will do good on preventing fine lines appearance. I love this one: The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream. This is actually my second tube, I'm running out of my first one so I need to recharge.
I love this eye cream, though, to be honest, it doesn't really help with dark circles and fine lines. Yes, my eyes are less puffy and this product really does its job in moisturizing. However, my dark circles and fine line are still there even though they are not getting worse. I use it twice a day, in the morning after bath and before I go to bed at night.
Still, it's a good product with a good price. For something that lasts almost half-a-year for me, IDR 139,000 is fair enough. I've been thinking to buy a better eye cream for night-time, though, anyone can recommend an awesome one?

I have featured this product before and I love it! One of my biggest skin problem is dehydration, and The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream just saves my life! I don't really remember, but I think this is my fourth purchase and IDR 129,000 is absolutely a good bargain for this awesome beauty.
Anyway, this product is super moisturizing and works well with any skin type, especially the ones like mine. It's not too rich and not greasy at all, yet it's creamy and so soft your skin will drink this buddy gleefully. When my boyfriend went to Hong Kong last month, I forced him to use this product because his facial skin was so dry and chapped. Creepy, right? Now that he's back to normal, he can thank me and this moisturizer.

Yes, I actually use two moisturizer from The Body Shop combined as my facial skin is very dry but the T-zone is not. What's the different between the Vitamin E above and this Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream? They cost the same, this one is also moisturizing and doesn't make you look like a grease ball. The seaweed has a refreshing effect, as well.
I love this product because, as it's stated on the name, it mattifies! The texture is more like a jelly rather than cream and the first time I use it, I was amazed because my skin absorbs this moisturizer so well and fast! And I love seaweed. Yes, I do, who doesn't?

Moving on to my favorite beauty item: foundation. I've been wanting to buy this Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2 in 1 Foundation + Serum since I saw it in an old magazine last month. Again, this one is a good bargain as it only cost me IDR 100,000 and it's awesome!
What I like about this product is it's texture: it's not too liquidy but so easy to blend, almost fluffy if I must say. Though it does not really moisturizing nor hydrating, but it creates flawless layer on your face, makes it smoother. A mixture of cosmetic and skin care always impressed me and it has SPF 15, too.

I think I have to confess that my skin condition is getting better each and everyday, mostly because the annoying and crazy acne scars on my forehead has fade (yes, they're almost gone!). Hence, on daily basis, I love to wear something friendly to make my skin happier.
I've been loving this Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream. It does remind me of jelly, the packaging and also the texture of this product. People actually raves and I have to join them for sure as this BB cream is amazing! It's super duper hydrating and has SPF 20 PA++, it brightens up your skin, it has matte finish and also build-able!
Should I write a special review for this beauty?

My mom recommends me Max Factor as this brand was big back in her days, especially their mascaras, so I have to give a try, right? The Masterpiece Waterproof High Definition Mascara is my first ever mascara from the Max Factor and I must say this is the only mascara I have that can hold up the curl for 24 hours! Once I went to sleep with makeup on (oops, sorry!) because I was too tired and when I woke up the next day, my lashes still look the same like the day before!
But you don't have to try this and go to bed without washing your face, guys, really :D Just trust me, this mascara is good.

I do not know how to describe how I love this lipstick. Look how cute the packaging is! Yes, you guys might already know that I have soft spot on cool packaging and true, I bought this Tony Moly Prestige Crystal Lipstick because the packaging totally captivate me! It reminds me to Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lipstick, somehow... They look so similar!
I was in the lookout for a rosy pink lipstick before I found this baby and the color that I bought (no. 07, Muse Rose) match beautifully with my skin tone. I will absolutely write a review for this product, it's amazing. However it's quite pricey :( but I still love it anyway!

This might be everyone's brand but I've been using their products since I was in elementary school. Lately, I have trouble with tangled hair as it's been a while since I take care of the crown :( my hair has gone dry and frizzy! Desperate, I grab Sunsilk Frizz & Wheather Defense Control Light Cream from the supermarket, hoping it will work instantly.
Well, it does! My hair is weightless no more and tangle-free. This product is super affordable too :D

I went to The Body Shop once and actually, I was about to buy the facial wash because I love this line, but I took this Tea Tree Body Wash instead. By mistake of course, and I found it after I bought it home :P Turns out, I'm lovin' it! It's smells like eucalyptus, very refreshing after a long and tiring day and it cleanse so well. I love the foam, too, though it's not too creamy.
I don't use fragrance much, mostly just body mist. I love Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works... Anything with flowery or fruity scent. I think this one is new series from The Body Shop but I love my Strawberry Body Mist. My boyfriend picked it up for me, actually, and it smells so sweet and refreshing and lasts for quite sometime :D
When it comes to nail products, my mind jumps to Revlon, my favorite drug store brand. To be honest, most of my nails polish are from Revlon, including their base and top coat. My all time favorite is actually Revlon the Double Twist one but their Professional Grow 10 Base Coat and Super Top Speed 60 Seconds Top Coat are also amazing!
Lastly but not the least, speaking abut the colors on your nails, I love these two from Revlon: 916 Chocolate Truffle and 120 Hushed Blush. Both look so pretty for this month!
So that's all for February Favorites! What's yours?
