February favorites!


Hey loves,
So because February is over on Saturday I thought I would list off all the things I have been loving this month. (No pun intended.) A few items you have seen before and others are new! 
The first item on my list is the Naked 3 eye shadow Palette.
Now I know in the world of beauty and fashion this is not new anymore but I am loving the eye shadow palette so much!
My go to colors in this palette are limit and nooner. I have hazel eyes and I love how both "limit" and "nooner" bring out the green in my eyes when I wear them. Plus I think they are great day time colors. However, I would definitely argue that the Naked 3 palette rates highest in color wearability. 

The next item is also a beauty related item. I find that I have been curling my hair more than I have in my entire life recently, as pageant appearance call for such things. For that reason I had to go out and buy a heat protecting spray. I was lucky to find this Tresemme one on clearance at target! ( Just the way we like things here at Minwage). 
I really enjoy this product because it's a heat protectent and a hairspray in one. This is awesome for me because I have long thick hair so I need something that will make my curls last. I have used this five times and everytime my curls are lasting throughout the day! So this product has been a life saver for me in many ways.

In February I have been painting my nails almost every other week, these are just a few of the colors that I have done this month.

Here are the two recent nails I've had in the last week. 



Okay now we're done with beauty products. On to the fashion. The first two things that I have are statement necklaces I recently got at Charming Charlie's.




I may also be a little late on this trend but I have been getting into statement necklaces. I love the first necklace because the mint color is really in for spring this season! And the best way try new trends is to try them in accessories. Also the first necklace comes with matching earrings, and that was totally worth it for me! 
The second necklace I love because of the triangular design. I am also really enjoying the white and gold look for spring as well. I think it's very classy.
This item is one that you have seen before. This is my Union Jack Beanie that I got from Hot Topic. I love this hat, because in Minnesota and you have to have some warm head gear if you have to walk outside to get to class. Which I do. I also have really gotten into the british culture and love wearing this hat and showing my love for the United Kingdom. I usually curl my hair and then put the hat on over the curls, and it makes my hair look like it has more volume than when it's just straight. 


The last thing that I have been loving this month are my madden girl black and gold velvet heels. I wore these heels in my last lookbook. I got these heels for a christmas present and I was in love with them from the moment I saw them. They are perfect for pageant appearances that I have to make, because the heel isn't the tallest, and they are easy to walk in, and comfort is nice to have when your at an event for a couple of hours!

I know that most of my favorites are more accessories, than clothing items, however in the winter I love to jazz up my outfits with these items as the plain sweater and jeans look can get old. So I love being able to add colors, anywhere I can!

Let me know what you love this past February!
