Mid February Favourites - Soph & Beth beauty ♡

As we are already in our second month of 2016, I decided to do a favourites post! I have collected together a group of things that I have been loving throughout the month of January and beginning of February.

Everything in total.

My first beauty favourite is the "Naked2" palette by Urban Decay (£38). I received this palette for Christmas and have been loving it ever since!! I really enjoy putting together new eyeshadow looks and experimenting with all of the different colours. My most used shadows from this palette would definitely be "Snakebite" and "Tease", I find that these colours make the perfect combination when put together. As much as I love this palette and couldn't recommend it enough, I'm aware that it is quite pricy especially if you are just getting in to using makeup, the brand "Revolution" make eyeshadow palettes which are very similar to the Naked range for a much better and affordable price! The only downfall with these would be that they are not as pigmented.

My second beauty favourite is "Prep+Prime Fix+" by MAC(£18). A while ago I saw the mini of it and had to pick it up as I had heard so many great reviews about it. After falling in love with the product myself, I had to go out and purchase the full size! Ever since purchasing it I have been using it constantly and I'm very pleased with it.

My third beauty favourite is a KIKO lipstick, it does not have a name but its number is "913". This lipstick was in the sale and I think I purchased it for around £4. It is quite a dark pink colour and comes out very strong, meaning that you barely need to use any of the product up and it will last a long time! I have been loving wearing this colour for the past 2 months and I'm super happy that I purchased it.

My fourth and last beauty favourite is the "Real Cheeky Party" gift set from Benefit which I received for Christmas. I have always been in love with Benefits blushes and wanted to try all of them out after just having tried samples. This set meant that I was able to try out all of the most popular ones. It also came with a "hoola bronzer" a  "they're real push up liner" a "they're real mascara" and "what's up highlighter" (added bonus!!). My favourite blush would definitely have to be "Sugarbomb" closely followed by "Rock" as I find that these two are better matches for my skintone.   

As for other favourites this month, I have been loving the Chanel nail varnish that Soph got me for Christmas in the shade "535, May". Its a lovely light pink colour and it looks amazing on my nails!! You can either leave it how it comes out or add a sparkly top coat which also looks really good.

This month I have been loving one of my old favourites which is "The Glam Guide" by Fleur De Force. I find that her book helped me a lot with makeup and I absolutely love all of the images and details that she included inside!! Definitely my favourite of the youtubers books.

My current favourite beauty YouTubers are Eve Bennett, Anastasia Kingsnorth and Tati (who Soph recently got me in to watching, thanks Soph!!). As soon as I see them in my subscription box I am quick to click on their videos and watch them. Anastasia and Eve do beauty, lifestyle and general videos, so something for everyone. However Tati usually just focuses on beauty videos and she has helped me with so many of my makeup decisions!!
