February Favourites

I definitely had a few favourites from this month, I watched so many films (because of the Oscars, duh) and I've had random fashion favourites/make up favourites so keep reading to find out what they are! 

Fashion

In January my Gran sadly passed away but my Aunt sent my mum and I a couple of her clothes/ornaments. I saw this scarf and loved it immediately as it really reminded me of my Gran and it was a nice comfort to have! My Aunt told us that this was the item my Gran wore the most and that makes me love it even more! I love the patchwork design and I think the colour combinations are quite unique, it's definitely going to be a scarf I have for the rest of my life. 

Skincare

I really love having a good primer before I put on my make up, I was using the L'Oreal Lumi Magique primer and I did like it (although it smelt a little like PVA glue) but I then bough the Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion - this isn't necessarily a primer but it does help mattify the skin and improve the texture to give a more even surface. I really like it, it definitely makes my skin feel less oily and helps a lot with pores I have on my cheeks and nose! I would recommend this if you want a more natural, primer because some really clog the face up a little! 

Perfume

For Christmas I asked for Daisy as I had this perfume a few years ago and loved it! I still do love it, and it's definitely one of my all time favourites. I love the fresh, floral scent and it makes me think of the 60s (not that I can remember that, I wasn't born)! I'm sure most have heard/smelt this perfume but if you haven't definitely check it out. 

Film

I find this category so hard because I always end up loving so many different movies and I don't want to ramble on too much so I have just picked two! 

First of all, Whiplash there was something about this movie that just put me on edge and made me excited while watching it. I loved the music and found it such a great, enjoyable watch: even though I felt a little stressed at times. Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons were absolutely brilliant in this and deserved all the praise they got.

I also really loved Still Alice, it was such a sensitive and sad movie that really dealt with a disease such as Alzheimer's with the utmost respect. Julianne Moore as we all know scooped up pretty much every award for her performance, and boy did she deserve it. I just found this movie heartbreaking and moving and although it's not going to make you feel upbeat after it's an important film to see. 

(Honourable mention: Gone Girl! See it, and be as shocked as I was at some of it. Rosamund Pike was extraordinary in this). 

Book

My usual favourite genre of books are true crime/criminal psychology but in February I have to commute to London for my job and I decided to choose The Carrie Diaries as my first companion on the train. I really love this book because reading about Carrie Bradshaw before Sex and the City is fun and I actually relate to younger Carrie Bradshaw anyway. The characters feel real to me and definitely evoke some emotional reactions which not every book does for me. It is a young adult book but if you don't care about labels and love Sex and the City you'll bound to love this too. You'll also probably like the TV show they made of it, which I also love!

Music

So my favourite song of February was probably Don't Rain on my Parade from Funny Girl, I listened to this song non-stop and it was in my head for days and days. It's such a great song to belt out when you feel the world is against you our your just having a bad day! 

I didn't have loads of favourites from February, because if I like one thing a lot I obsess over that one thing. Is anyone else like that? I hope you enjoyed this post, and what are your favourites from February?

Peace.
