This month went by fast. Maybe because its only 28 days, but I feel like it went by way faster than that. I don't really know what it was, maybe I was just really busy. Anyways, here are my first monthly favorites of The City's Prep.
1. Bliss Body Butter- This. Is. Amazing. The smell, the texture, everything. My two favorites are the grapefruit + aloe (this one reminds me of summer) and the lemon + sage scents. They are to die for. I normally hate body butters/moisturizers because they always leave my skin sticky for a bit, but these are amazing, they don't leave me feeling sticky at all. There aren't enough words to describe these.
2. Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara- I have heard no one talk about these. It's all about the Falsies mascara from Maybelline, but, whoops, I have never tried any Falsies. I'm always really skeptical about trying new makeup, even if it has the best reviews. Anyways, this mascara is wonderful. I hate when mascara gives off that kind of fake look, but this one makes my lashes look so full, voluminous, and natural.
3. Bobbi Brown Blush (Washed Rose)- This was given to me as a little freebie when I shopped at the Bobbi Brown counter around a month ago. It's one of their Shimmer Blushes and I love it. It is perfect for having that outdoors Winter look that is exactly what I want for this time of the year. Did I mention how pigmented it was? So pigmented.
4. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder- Coming home from school, I always look so worn out and all my makeup has worn off. With this powder though, most of it stays (I mean, noting can beat the gross humid air of a classroom) and my face doesn't have a greasy look/feel to it (which is always a plus). I bought mine in the transparent color so I can use it all year round and I definitely will!
5. Clinique "Almost Lipstick" Lipstick- This is one of those thing you have in the back of your makeup drawer and you retry it and you don't know why you forgot about it in the first place. Because of this, mine is in the old packaging (I much prefer the new packaging), but I suspect it's still the same great product. It's a sheer finish, so on the outside it looks scary (It is a dark color), but in reality, it is an amazing pinky, purpley, red. By the way, I'm awful at describing colors. Mine is in Black Honey and I love it so much, it definitely won't get lost in the back of my drawer again.
6. Bobbi Brown Eye Repair Cream- Now, let me just get this straight, I don't have wrinkles or anything. So you may be asking yourself, "Why does she need eye cream?" Well, these are amazing if you have horrible dark circles under your eyes and I find my eyes are so much brighter after applying this. Also, concealer glides on so smoothly with it on which is a big help for the delicate skin underneath the eyes. This was also given to me (a smaller test version obviously) as a freebie at the Bobbi Brown counter.
7. Garnier Intensely Smooth Leave-in Conditioning Cream- This is perfect for frizzy hair. After blow drying my hair, it is so sleek and smooth that I don't even have to straighten it which is amazing because I won't be killing my hair as much as I usually do. It says on the bottle to use the matching shampoo and conditioner, but I don't and it is still amazing. I might have to invest in the other products to see how wonderful they all are together.
I really hope you try these products because they are all worth it.
Until later,

What were some of your favorite products in February?
*All photos were taken with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i except the Garnier Conditioner as mine is absolutely disgusting.
Happy March!
