First Impressions: February Edit
New products both gifted and purchased that made this month's review
Welcome back to First Impressions, a monthly series where I share a preview of items I’ve either been gifted or personally bought. These are the ones that have the potential to join my tried-and-true collection—many others have been cut along the way, but these? They’ve earned a spot on Beauty Hub.
With February in full swing, my routine is shifting to match the season—leaning into products that nourish, protect, and bring a little glow to the gray days. This month, I’m drawn to buttery balms, barrier-loving serums, and anything that feels like a comforting cocoon for winter-worn skin, with pops of color on my cheeks to brighten things up. A few new launches have caught my eye, and I’m eager to see if they live up to their promises. As always, this edit is a mix of first impressions—things I’m testing now and hopeful discoveries that might just earn a permanent place in my routine.
