February Smile Edit

Writer and expert2 years ago

February may still be a Winter month in the Northern Hemisphere, but there are still plenty of reasons to smile about it!

Spring is around the corner - and with neon trends on the Catwalk, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about injecting a bit of colour into your wardrobe and beauty routine.
Chinese New Year is celebrated - 2022 marks the Year of the Tiger.
Valentine’s Day - whether you spend it with the love of your life, a Galentine/Palentine or will be spending the day solo, any excuse for a bit of self appreciation and gifting is welcome in allbeauty’s books.
Oscar Nominations are announced, meaning a welcome burst of Pop Culture appreciation in the office. Team allbeauty are most excited about the Makeup and Hairstyling nominations of course - will the winner be Cruella or House of Gucci?!
In terms of Awareness campaigns, February is known for African-American History Month and World Heart Awareness Month. Heart Month takes place every February to raise awareness for heart-health related conditions - this year, allbeauty have partnered with Savoo and Heart Research UK to raise some donations for Heart Research. Read here for more information.
In Welsh, February is referred to as “y mis bach”, which means Little Month. It’s the only month to last fewer than 30 days, although it does get an extra day when there is a leap year. The next Leap Year will be in 2024.

A new month also means another allbeauty Edit of recent launches, of course. And so, without further ado, here are some of the team’s favourite up and comers.
