February Favourites!!




Pinch punch first day of the month! February has been and gone and the arrival of March means that i can make my February favourites post! This month has seen varying weather - at the start of the month we were still burried in a blanket of snow, and by the end of the month we saw a few days of sunlight. I used these favourites depending on whether it was cold or sunny so there isn't a pattern in my choices i'm afraid! So let's get started, my top 10 February faves!











This month i have become addicted to scented candles! I love that when i get home, my room smells divine. It's a great way to relax especially in a bubble bath or just before bed, and i am absolutley in love with Yankee Candles. They have a great selection of scents and i can't get enough of them. The jars look cute but i also like the small tumblers as well. These two scents are country lemonade and soft blanket.

Next is this biscuit colour nail varnish from Next's oh so nails range. It's not a colour i would normally go for but it has definatley grown on me and now i love it. I love how it's a nude/biscuit colour because it looks relaxed and is good for school. You can also get away with only one coat which is rare in many nail varnishes.

Now, i am a total LUSH junkie and i'm always looking for new things when i shop there. Mainly i go for the bath bombs but i decided to look for something new and i came across this. It's a lovely minty smell which is great because i like to feel fresh and clean after a shower. Predominantley i think that this smell is aimed at men because men obviously don't like florally smells, but i'm a girl and i love it!

I love lip balms and they are not only just a way to moisturize my lips but also something i do when i'm bored or stressed - i put on lip balm. Recently i have discovered the body shop born lippy range. As well as this raspberry flavour i love the orange and mango flavour and the watermelon flavour. They come in cute little pots and make your lips feel like velvet!
This is a hair product from the Rockholic TIGI range. It is a shine blaster and it smells like heaven! It is litterally the best smell i've ever smelt! You use it on wet hair and it gives you really soft and shiny hair! Plus you only need a pea sized amount each time so it lasts forever!
The first makeup product on my list is the Pixi nude shade wardrobe palette. It contains eye shadows and blush's which is convenient for travel, and all of the colours are gorgeous. It is a cheaper alternative to the Urban Decay Naked Palette, and i absolutley love it!
Another makeup product which i actually said "wow" when i used it, is this No7 extreme length mascara. Alot of mascara's out there have huge advertising schemes that claim to make your lashes look almost false and very long, but this mascara simply didn't need that because it actually makes your lashes 10x longer! I'd never seen a brush like it before; it rarely creates clumps and it spreads out your lashes. I LOVE this!
Now for the first fashion peice on my top 10; this month i have been in love with silky printed scarves, especially chains, ropes, and regal colours. To see my scarf take a look at another post of mine: http://alittlebirdytoldmesomethingawesome.blogspot.com/2012/02/vintage-fair.html (phew long link!) You can buy these scarves in all sorts of accessory stores such as accessorize. I love the silky fabric used and the patterns are beautiful!
This is my cuddly jumper that i go to when it's cold or i'm feeling cosy! So for the colder weeks in Feb, i've been glued to this. It's from Dorothy Perkins and it comes in this corally pink colour that reminds me of pink wafer biscuits! When i bought this i thought i'd be daring and the splash of colour really cheers me up and is great for colour blocking. It also comes in raspberry purple if you prefer :)
Finally, the last of my favourites for this month is a perfume from Marks and Spencers called Leilah. I actually bought it for my mum but i loved it so much that i also had to have one. It comes in a small 10cm bottle which is convenient for travel and the pink and gold packaging looks cute and sophisticated. The smell is also not too sweet but also not too mature, it's just right!! This perfume is under £10, a bargain!!!
