    Good news: We’re fully into February, which means we survived the eternity that is always January and are that much closer to longer, warmer days ahead. That said, we’re still in the thick of winter, so dry skin solutions, practical fashion pieces, and bursts of joy and color amidst the weak, angled sun rays are as imperative as ever. As per usual, team Byrdie has been on the case, and we’ve found an array of innovative formulas, scents, and designs to fit your every need. Read on to see all our editors’ picks for February<\/strong>, and get excited for a month full of cozy self-care and elevated style.\n<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re looking for moisture minus the stickiness, I\u2019d highly recommend this lip oil by Summer Fridays. The newest hues are standout additions to the brand’s lip care lineup\u2014I\u2019m a big fan of the deep berry shade. The formula is buildable, so you can rock as much or as little pigment as you prefer, plus the skin-loving ingredients offer deep hydration.\n<\/p>\n

    Every winter I\u2019m shocked by how cold it gets in NYC, and that\u2019s coming from someone who has lived in the city my entire life. While my wardrobe consists of primarily black clothing, the one piece that was missing was a long, black wool coat. I was first introduced to Pistola late last year, and I’ve been raving about the brand ever since. This coat is sleek, chic, and it hits at the perfect spot on my calf, which can be hard to find. I definitely see it being a staple in my winter wardrobe for years to come.\n<\/p>\n

    I’ve become quite the New Balance fan these days, and with sneakers that feel like I’m walking on a cloud, who can blame me? The 9060 is the perfect function-meets-fashion style\u2014I can wear them on the weekends with a full athleisure fit, or to work with a pair of slacks. The options are endless, and my feet stay comfortable all day long.\n<\/p>\n

    I’ve long been a fan of the original Dior Lip Glow, but when the brand launched an upgraded formula, more shades, and brand-new packaging, I had to give change a whirl. Turns out, I’m in love: The same minty tingle hits your lips as you apply, and the formula yields the same dewy glow\u2014but this time around, the hydration feels longer-lasting. I’m especially fond of the new Citrus shade to add some golden warmth to my lips.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    I’m obsessed with Glossier’s new Cloud Paint in black cherry, as it’s subtle but packs a punch. The stain-y, jammy finish feels perfectly suited for a monochromatic winter flush across your lips, eyes, and cheeks. I’ve been using it every time I want to look a little wind-chapped and romantic.\n<\/p>\n

    This winter has been particularly blustering\u2014so, after weeks of shivering, it was time for an appropriate coat. And this pick is not just any coat. It’s soft, lightweight, and the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my body. Created to keep you snug in up to -40\u00b0F, this hourglass puffer is a winter VIP. I’ve had a hard time wearing anything else since I first slipped it on.<\/p>\n

    Olay Super Serum is truly a do-it-all formula. Since it’s powered by five ingredients (niacinamide, vitamin C, collagen peptide, vitamin E, and AHA), it can improve skin texture, tone, and firmness while smoothing lines and enhancing hydration. Over time, I’ve seen these results delivered and then some. After slathering on the Super Serum, my skin looks unbelievably radiant and feels so plump and hydrated. Not to mention, the silky serum is so lightweight and absorbs effortlessly into my skin (so I don’t have to worry about a tacky finish).\n<\/p>\n

    It’s an understatement to say my skin loves the S’able Labs Baobab Moisturizer. As someone with incredibly dry skin, I crave a moisturizer that’s super rich and delivers long-lasting benefits. This formula is a perfect match because it features baobab, which helps replenish the skin barrier, as well as other nourishing ingredients like amino acids, ceramides, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin E, and rice protein. Slathering this all over my skin calms dryness and discomfort instantly and leaves me with a healthy glow.\n<\/p>\n

    Under-eye patches are my latest skincare fixation, and I’ve been cycling through several different brands to find my favorites. Rare Beauty’s Find Comfort Hydrating Under Eye Patches are great because they deliver an immediate cooling sensation, helping decrease puffiness. I also love that these patches are infused with powerhouse ingredients\u2014including caffeine, green tea, and hyaluronic acid\u2014to hydrate, smooth, and refresh the skin. Another plus? You don’t have to worry about these patches moving around because they’re made with a non-slip material.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    I’ll admit: TikTok definitely influenced me to buy the Crest 3D White Brilliance Deep Stain Remover Daily Toothpaste. After seeing an influencer rave about how white her teeth became after just one use, I headed to my nearest Target to find the toothpaste. The way this formula works is it dissolves the bonds that hold deep stains on your teeth, gently whitening them and repelling future stains in the process. After one use, I noticed that my teeth appeared brighter and whiter (and they weren’t the least bit sensitized). Not to mention, my breath was minty fresh for hours after brushing. I’ve officially made this my daily toothpaste, and my smile has never looked better.\n<\/p>\n

    I’ve been wanting a pair of brown boots for the winter, and I’m so happy I came across Steve Madden’s Lander style. They’re so chic, featuring a square toe and kitten heel, and elevate any outfit. With the heels being only two inches, these boots are comfortable enough to wear on casual days. I’ve worn them everywhere, from the office to dinner, and my feet never hurt. My shoe collection feels more complete with these boots, and I’m looking forward to wearing them well beyond winter.\n<\/p>\n

    I wouldn’t normally consider my skin to be sensitive, but I recently had a bad reaction to a new product I was trying, leading me to temporarily switch to a gentler routine. This hyaluronic moisturizer proved to be one of the most helpful steps during this time\u2014I’d never used it before (bold, I know), but its formula is centered around nourishing, barrier-boosting ingredients that my skin typically loves. Using it twice daily in combination with a few other pared-back products, my complexion looked and felt better within a few days. I’m now officially a fan of this beloved K-beauty brand.\n<\/p>\n

    Maybe it’s the “zillennial” in me, but I was fairly late in the game when it came to embracing wide leg pants. While I have accumulated a few pairs over the past year or two, I was still in need of this silhouette in black denim, and these jeans from Mother have been a truly valuable addition to my wardrobe. The back pocket embroidery\u2014which features a moon and stars and reads “Sorcery”\u2014makes this pair feel unique and suited to my slightly witchy, astrology-oriented spirit.\n<\/p>\n

    I like being able to touch up my scent during the day but have had a few experiences with travel sprays leaking or breaking, so I’m excited about the solid fragrance trend as a potential solution. Noyz has bottled five of its core scents into this practical yet elegant packaging, with a balm-like texture that applies like a dream. Lost + Found is a woody citrus that features some of my favorite notes (including pink pepper, Italian lemon, and cedarwood), cultivating a naturally alluring vibe that fits right into my vampire winter agenda.\n<\/p>\n

    Somehow, I made it several seasons into the red handbag trend with only one older oxblood style to my name. That changed when I got this vivid, trend-oriented style from 8 Other Reasons, which I promptly decked out with an array of bag charms that the brand also has on offer. The design makes a statement on its own yet is also the ideal canvas for accessorizing. It fits right into my currently maximalist handbag rotation, which has led to one of the most fun fashion eras that I’ve had in years.\n<\/p>\n

    I’m shouting out these jeans for a simple reason: I love how I look and feel in them. The high-waist and flare\/wide-leg hybrid silhouette has a cool, almost 1970s look, and the dark wash is really chic. They work as well for a day in the office as they do for a going out ‘fit. Trust me: I’ve worn them pretty much nonstop since I purchased them, so I would know.\n<\/p>\n

    I usually gravitate toward moody dark lipsticks when it gets cold, but this winter has been so frigid\u2014and my lips are already so dry as a baseline\u2014that I’ve been steering clear of matte and even satin formulas. So I’m thrilled that this hydrating, pigmented lipstick hit my desk. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe keep my lips moisturized like a balm, but the pigment is way<\/em> more intense and closer to that of a conventional bullet lipstick. I can’t wait to try out the other shades.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    I love to switch my makeup up with a lipstick, but it’s been so cold and my lips are so dry that swiping on anything more pigmented than a lip gloss literally hurts. However, these Lip Silks have been a total game changer. They feel like a silky balm, plus they’re packed with hydrating ingredients to help my poor pout. The shades are gorgeous, unexpected but easy-to-wear neutrals, and they go on sheer but are possible to build up up to a pigmented kiss. They’re truly my new obsession\u2014I’ve been pulling them out of my purse as a show-and-tell moment whenever I go out.\n<\/p>\n

    I am so picky with mascara, but this one was truly love at first swipe. The brush is teeny-tiny, but super dense with bristles, so it grabs every single lash. In my case, that’s not many, but something about the rounded brush shape seems to really fan them out, making them look so full and fluttery. Usually this kind of definition means your lashes get a little crispy or clumpy, but this formula stays soft and natural-looking with no flakes or smudging. I’m truly obsessed.\n<\/p>\n

    There used to be a running joke that my friends could never lose me in a crowd because of my bright red winter coat. It was gifted to me several years ago, and yes, the electric hue certainly wasn\u2019t subtle\u2014but the jacket did its job. However, I found myself on the market for a new coat this season, as “big red” no longer fit. After much research, I stumbled upon the Quince Down Long Puffer Coat, and the ankle length, built-in finger holes, and color selections sold me. One month in, and I can confidently say that this might be the most comfortable puffer I\u2019ve ever owned.

    A facialist recently recommended I prep my skin with multiple layers of essence or toner to help soothe my persistent eczema flare-ups: Starting with such a thin consistency allows your skin to better absorb thicker products that follow. I used the Laneige Cream Skin toner to put this theory to the test, and (spoiler alert) it completely changed my skin. I have never watched redness disappear from my face so quickly. I poured the toner into my hand and gently pressed the liquid into my face four to five times before applying my favorite moisturizer. It immediately calmed my skin and left it looking plump and hydrated. I used every last drop, and I’ve already repurchased a new bottle.\n<\/p>\n

    Instead of setting a slew of New Year’s resolutions, I only made one: Make 2025 a healthy year. In that vein, I wanted to start taking new supplements without veering too far from my super simplistic routine. A friend recommended the Farmer Protein from Ballerina Farm, which includes collagen peptides and colostrum\u2014a buzzy ingredient that promotes gut and skin health. Having tried many protein powders over the years, this one tastes almost too good to be true. I use one scoop in a cup of milk in the morning, and the vanilla flavor tastes like a milkshake.\n<\/p>\n

    Cold and flu season is in full swing, which means soap and hot water, hand sanitizer, and lots of dry air. The result is disastrous for both germs and the skin on my hands. This year, I’m trying something new with Paume, a plant-based sanitizer that kills the bad stuff while keeping hands nourished and moisturized. Scented with a blend of essential oils, it’s great for everyone in the family\u2014even those with the most sensitive skin.\n<\/p>\n

    I love a crisp citrus fragrance in the winter, and this one from Aesop has become my absolute favorite. With notes of bergamot, green tea, and pink pepper, it\u2019s a very green but still seasonally appropriate scent that I\u2019ve enjoyed wearing regularly\u2014day or night. The herbal notes make me feel like I\u2019m entering a lush botanical garden, which is much appreciated in this dry, frigid weather.\n<\/p>\n

    I have dry skin that\u2019s also acne-prone, so the majority of thick moisturizers that hydrate efficiently end up breaking me out. This moisturizer has a light, gel-cream texture, but surprisingly provides a ton of moisture when my skin feels tight and stripped. I love that I can be heavy-handed while applying and it never becomes sticky or feels like I applied too much. The pretty pink color makes the experience that much more enjoyable.\n<\/p>\n

    As someone who takes lip care seriously, I\u2019ve probably gone through hundreds of lip balms in my lifetime. So when I saw this lip serum, I was intrigued. Instead of having a thicker balm or mask texture, it has a lightweight but creamy consistency that sinks into the skin\u2014immediately providing long-lasting hydration. The best part is the cooling metal tip applicator that feels like a treat for my lips before bed.\n<\/p>\n

    Skin scents are great for everyday wear, and this is my new favorite in my collection. Notes of orris, plum, and peach give it a fruity-floral opening, while sandalwood and musk ground the fragrance in a sensual base. If you love musky skin scents, I can’t recommend this one from Snif enough.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    This brutal New York City winter has taken a toll on my usually oily skin, leading to unusual dryness and even flaking around my eyes. One of the products that has helped me through is this gem from Rhode: The rich cream is loaded with squalane and peptides among other hydration heroes, making it a deeply moisturizing formula that’s made a significant improvement in my skin. After I apply a generous layer at night, I wake up with a soft, nourished complexion.\n<\/p>\n

    This is my favorite blush on the market, so any time Patrick Ta releases new shades, I get excited. She Goes To The Gym is my new favorite\u2014it’s a beautiful rosy mauve that instantly breathes life info my fair skin tone. The cream and powder formulas blend well together and stay put all day, and I always get compliments when wearing these blushes.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    An oil cleanser holds a special place in my nighttime skincare routine\u2014I never feel like my makeup is fully removed unless I start with one. This new launch from Prequel has quickly become my favorite thanks to the lightweight yet luxe-feeling texture that melts away makeup. It feels comforting on my skin while still cleansing effectively, and I love that it washes away easily without leaving a greasy residue behind.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
