[00:00:00] So each month starting with this month of February, I'm going to be showing you guys all of my favorite products right now, whether it's makeup, skincare, fragrances, food, you name it. I'm going to show you guys all my favorites. So to kick off this new series on my channel, I'm also going to be doing today's video as a collaborative style video with the amazing April Athena.

So here's your quick sneak peek at some of April's favorite products for the month. One of my favorites. It's this? I like things that motivate me every day. I like to wake up happy. And so I got this inspirational daily calendar and the cute thing is my little man, Liam. He's seven. He actually reads all the quotes every day.

Which is really good too. Cause it teaches him to have a positive day in the morning. Be selective in your battle. Sometimes peace is better than being right. I mean, sometimes I feel that way. Like what I'm arguing with Justin about something I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna just shut up. I'm like, just keep it moving.

Honestly. No, I think that's more Justin and I'm the one who just keeps talking. Cause I, I need to have. I need to win the [00:01:00] battle. So this is really for me because I need to humble myself. So yeah, I just had to share that this is a really great inspirational calendar. Just something to like. Every single morning or at night, however way you want to.

Okay. So I hope you guys enjoyed that little sneak peek into some of April's favorite products for the month of February. Again, please make sure you go check out her full video, which will be on our channel, which will be linked in my description box below now onto my. So starting off with skincare since y'all know, I love skincare so much.

We're gonna be starting off with the oil minimizing toner with salycilic acid from first aid, beauty, as you can see, can you see? Probably not. Yeah, barely right here. I only have a little bit left in this bottle because I use it twice a day. It's absolutely on me. From the ordinary. I love both the south.

So like acid mask. This is 2%. I believe this is amazing for if you have some breakouts and you need to get rid of them in a pinch. And I also love the natural moisturizing factors plus hyaluronic acid moisturizer. Also from the ordinary. This has about, um, about this much left in it at the [00:02:00] bottom. It's so good.

I just bought another bottle, actually. All of the ordinary products I have, I have like double and triple. Underneath my cabinet because I use them so much and I don't want to run out. Speaking of the ordinary, the very iconic and viral aha BHA appealing solution. This is the best product I've ever used and I would recommend it to anyone.

It's so good. I leave it on for about 20 minutes, even though she'd only leave it on. I leave it on for 20. I do it once per week. And then I go into the good moisturizer and my serums and my skin feels brand new. It's insane. And finally, for the skincare portion of today's video, I have the bump eraser scrub.

This is from first aid beauty as well. Also has 10% ha and a safe for sensitive skin. This is a brand new bottle, as you can see, it's nice and plump because I just got done using that my last bottle and they were kind enough to send me some new goodies and restock my products. This is so good because I'm someone who shaves their entire body and you get some irritation with that.

So this is so good at obviously exfoliating my body, which is good for everyone to do, but also it helps reduce the [00:03:00] irritation that I get from shaving. It is so good and I have truly never used a better scrub ever. But side note, if you want to make your own, I did just post a video where I show you how in five minutes to make your own DIY sugars.

Just saying, okay, moving on to fragrance right now, I'm obsessed with the prime midnight from Aeropostle. This is so good. It smells so nice. It's refreshing. It feels kind of masculine and it's just so good. And it's literally $8. I got this for. Dollars. So I don't like to really switch up colognes too often.

Like I won't use like three or four different ones at one time. I'll use up an entire bottle. And then if I want to try something new, I do prior to using the prime midnight fragrance, I used to use the Abercrombie and Fitch fierce cologne. That was my favorite for a couple of years. And before that I was obsessed with the Giorgio Armani.

so good, but this one is super affordable and smells amazing. So let's move on to some of my favorite makeup. So for eyeshadow palettes, I love B Morphe X pony constellation sky artistry palette. This palette is huge. It's so beautiful. And it creates the most beautiful pigmented [00:04:00] looks. I also still love the Morphe 35 S sweet Oasis palette.

This is so beautiful. The pinks, purples and blues are like. Um, next is the blend bunny cosmetics, the doll house palette. This is the newest palette in the blend bunny cosmetics eye shadow series. This is so beautiful. I have posted swatch videos, unboxing first impressions, tutorial, and a review of this palette here on my channel.

If you'd like to go check them out. And lastly, I'm still so loving the 35 X big print and eyeshadow palette. Again, I have posted tutorials on this pallet on my channel. I actually use this today to create this beautiful glam, a neutral look already. Let's talk lashes. So glam netics sent over some lashes for me to try again.

Again, I have a video of that on my channel. So these are magnetic lashes. They are super convenient to use. I'm wearing a pair today. Um, today I'm wearing the style Venus. I also have lucky and I have the RFI, but these look beautiful. So if you have not yet tried out magnetic lashes and you would like to, I would definitely recommend trying out glam dedic.

What I would not recommend is trying out water activated lashes side note, [00:05:00] just posted a video of that. If you wanna go check it out, it's like five minutes. Spoiler alert. It was horrible. Now, moving on to highlighter and blush, I'm obsessed with these two pallets from Sigma beauty. This is the Sigma glow kissed highlighter palette.

This is so beautiful and there are six beautiful shades to choose from. The Sigma blush cheek palette is so beautiful. Again, six beautiful, very pigmented shades to choose from. I'm obsessed with pet name here at the top. So gorgeous. So if you're under setting spray, there's only one, and that would be the Morphe ex sour patch kids setting spray.

This is a water. Oh, my God. It's so good. It doesn't taste good, but it's literally so good. It's exactly the scent. The fragrance of watermelon. It's. Crazy for setting powder. My absolute obsession right now is the baked translucent setting powder from LIJ beauty. This is so finely milled and it just melts into your skin.

Doesn't get cakey. Doesn't separate, does a perfect job. And I absolutely recommend this. So for mascara, the one that I'm absolutely loving the most right now is from Jeffree star cosmetics is the F proof. I'm not [00:06:00] saying it F proof mascara. It performs so well. And truly, I always do it backwards. It is the best mascara I have.

In my life, the way it separates your lashes is so beautiful. And just the volume that you get and the payoff and the black, oh my God. Literally. So good. As far as makeup, I think that pretty much covers all of my absolute obsessions right now. And definitely those products. You should try out if you haven't done so already.

Now, lastly, my two favorite products for food are actually junk food and I only have one of them because they're my favorite. Eat my favorites. So the Oregon strawberry ice cream from a graters is so good. There's nice little chunks of strawberry. And I also had a black raspberry chocolate chip. And when I tell you I eat this entire container about 10 minutes.

I mean it, my other obsession right now, aren't pistachios. I've never had pistachios before. And I bought this giant bag that was like $14, which is insane, insane. That's insane. Who pays $14 for a bag of nuts. Me, apparently these were unsheltered or disheveled or whatever. They didn't have shells. So you just got to like eat them.

And they're so [00:07:00] delicious. They make the throat feel a little tingly, like kind of weird. Cause I have a weird like food allergy to a lot of things, but like, oh, well they were delicious. And I devoured the entire bag and like, Definitely definitely recommend, but yeah, so those are some of my favorite products in the month of February.
