As the calendar flips from one month to the next, it’s always a time for reflection, especially when it comes to the beauty products that have stolen my heart. January, with its seemingly endless days, has given way to a February that whisked by in a blink. Now, it’s time to share the gems that made this month in the world of beauty truly special.
Chanel’s Springtime Splendor
Chanel Beauty has once again managed to capture my attention with its Spring Summer 2025 collection. This line has been a constant presence in my daily beauty routine, and I find myself reaching for its products time and time again. The Rouge Coco Baume Shines are an absolute delight. Shades like Tender Peach and Honey Bliss have become my go – to for a touch of color that’s both subtle and stunning. They glide on smoothly, leaving a beautiful, hydrating sheen that makes my lips look and feel amazing.
The Jeux de Lumieres highlighter palette has proven to be an incredibly versatile addition to my makeup collection. It’s not just for highlighting the cheeks; I’ve discovered that it works wonders on the eyes too, adding a soft, ethereal glow. Paired with the Chanel Brush 107 or 106, application is a breeze, and the result is a radiant, dewy finish that lasts throughout the day. And let’s not forget about the eyeshadow singles. Peche Glace, in particular, has me completely smitten. Its unique shade and smooth texture make it easy to blend, allowing for countless creative eye looks.
Byredo’s Enchanting Elixir
Treating myself to the Byredo Mojave Ghost Absolu for Christmas was one of the best decisions I made this year. This fragrance is a true masterpiece. It shares a familiar scent profile with the original Mojave Ghost, but the Absolu takes it to a whole new level. The lasting power is remarkable, with the scent lingering on my skin for hours, filling the air around me with its captivating aroma. The Absolu version feels richer and creamier, as if each note has been deepened and intensified. While it might be a splurge, it’s a purchase I don’t regret for a second. However, if you already own the original, you might find the Absolu too similar to justify having both in your collection.
Tom Ford’s Glitzy Eye Palette
Tom Ford’s recent launch of two new eyeshadow palettes in the crème formula had me excited to explore. I opted for the lighter, more neutral Peach Glamour. There’s been some debate about whether it’s truly a crème formula or a new iteration of the powder formula, but regardless of its classification, it has a wonderful creamy feel. Unlike some of the other crèmes in Tom Ford’s line, this one is softer and blends like a dream. The colors are a beautiful combination of light and shimmery, adding just the right amount of glamour without being over the top. For someone with my skin tone, Peach Glamour is a revelation. I’ve always loved the idea of Nude Dip, but on me, it often leaned cool – toned. Peach Glamour, on the other hand, offers a warmer, yet still neutral, alternative that complements my complexion perfectly.
In response to popular demand, I’ve also compared Peach Glamour to other Tom Ford eyeshadow palettes like Tiger Eye (from the crème formula) and Suspicion (a discontinued powder formula). These comparisons have been fascinating, highlighting the unique qualities of each palette and helping me, and hopefully you too, make more informed decisions when it comes to adding to our beauty collections.
As February comes to an end, these beauty favorites have not only enhanced my daily routine but also added a touch of luxury and excitement. I can’t wait to see what new beauty treasures the coming months will bring. What about you? Have you discovered any new beauty products lately that you’re head over heels for?
