The Monthly Cut // February
A quick, unfiltered list of my top picks from the month.
Welcome to the February Monthly Cut— a refined edit of the 10 standout finds that proved their worth this month.
No gimmicks, no sponsorships— just things that truly deliver.
This time, I’m sharing an overnight face mask that works while you sleep, the perfect eyeliner (that I’ve purchased twice), and a block heel that’s about to carry us straight through spring and summer. Because if we’re adding anything to our routines (or our closets), it better be good.

This brush gets all the tangles out of my hair without pulling and is a more budget-friendly option to the Mason Pearson version. I have the regular size and travel size for my purse.
Editors Note: Using a brush with natural bristles helps distribute the scalp’s natural oils evenly through the hair, enhancing its natural shine but also helping your blowout last longer between shampoos.
I’ve been using this sunscreen for months and love how the caffeine helps lift, tighten, and give my skin a refreshed look in the mornings. It’s fragrance-free, long-lasting, and stays put without getting oily throughout the day.
Editors Note: Every time I wear this, people compliment my skin. I don’t know what it is but it’s only when I wear this!
I came across these block heels recently, and I love how effortlessly they work with everything. Dress them up with a sleek look or keep it casual with denim—they do it all. Just a heads-up: they run large, so consider sizing down.
Editors Note: I would buy these in more colors if offered! I wear them at least 2x a week now that the weather is warming up.
This mask has become a regular in my routine when my skin needs a boost. It helps with firmness, dullness, and collagen support—all while I sleep. Simple, effective, and actually works.
Editors Note: I was such a skeptic with all of the “overnight mask” trends but you guys — this works! My skin is glass when I wake up. Use more than you think, I use about a dime size per cheek.
I just ordered this pair of sunglasses and it’s all I wear right now. They have a “see through” lens which is fun. I love pairing them with sharp tailoring or an easy denim-and-tee combo for that perfect balance.
Editors Note: If you haven’t ordered from EZ Contacts you are missing out. I always check here when I see a new style come out that I want. They don’t have everything, but they usually have new or upcoming designer frames. 100% authentic.
The best sleep gummies — they help you fall asleep within 30 minutes of taking and you will not be groggy the next day.
Editors Note: I’ve purchased these 9x at this point. Trust me!
Under $45 and the best sweater I have purchased all season. Similar to the La Ligne version but half the price. I got a small.
Editors Note: I am always weary of Amazon clothing. It can be hit or miss. But this was a win down to fit and fabric. I wash on cold in a garment bag and let it lay flat to dry.
I love the ease of this eyeliner. It glides on so smoothly and gives off a natural makeup look. Truly a must in my makeup routine.
Editors Note: The only eyeliner that will last all day!
I’ve been on board with these net flats for a while now. I love the ease, and comfort, and they look so chic. I also like that they are the jelly style we saw last summer (I don’t think that style is going anywhere, but this just feels a bit updated).
Editors Note: I actually found these when I was searching for an alternative to the Jil Sander version that have been haunting me for months. A close look-for-less option.
These underwear feel like you are wearing nothing. Comes in a pack of three and under $20.
Editors Note: Didn't really think we would go here, but ladies you need these! They are identical to the Skims.
