March Favourites!

Is it just me or do I basically tell you guys every time I write a post "I can't believe another month has come and gone!" I'm so basic. This past month has been pretty boring for me as far as makeup goes... I've been really into keeping the skin bright with blush, popping on a few coats of mascara paired with a slightly bolder lip. Next month I'm going to do some damage. Sephora, I'm coming for ya. With that being said, this months favourites are mostly old products I have been grabbing for a ton this month and here I am to share the love with you :)

The Original Beauty Blender ◽️ This sponge is my #1 in life right now. I use this for EVERYTHING. Once damp, I use the beauty blender to apply my foundation, to blend out my concealer and for cream contouring. It gives such a flawless canvas on your skin and 100% soaks up all the excess product you may have added onto your face without meaning it! No cake face allowed. This is a must have in any ladies life

Blender Cleanser ◽️ What good is the world's most powerful makeup sponge without the worlds most powerful cleanser? This sponge cleanser not only works wonders quickly, it's great for a quick wash of your makeup brushes also!

Laura Mercier Cream Contour Palette ◽️ Sometimes when I'm blogging, I wish you could see my face. My face looks exactly like the emoji with two hearts as eyes when I'm talking about this STUNNING cream contour palette. I'm obsessed over cream contouring right now and these shades are so creamy and dreamy, when blending out with the beauty blender, it's such a perfect duo. Such a great combo of colours in such a small little package, it's going to be a dream for my upcoming wedding season

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lavish Palette ◽️ This palette is beautiful. And unfortunately it was limited edition. I searched amazon and ebay to see if this palette was available for grabs but I couldn't find it anywhere! I love this palette mostly for it's matte shades, especially Orange Soda and Sienna which I wear almost daily so it's a beautiful thing that ABH has come out with single shadows and you can find those two beauties on that list along with a ton of amazingly beautiful pigmented stunners. Buy them H E R E

Colourpop Cosmetics Super Shock Shadows ◽️ I own 3 shades {Rex, So Quiche + Amaze} I love these babies so much. The 3 shadows I have are all metallic and they make such a beautiful statement on the lids. They wear so full of pigment and colour for hours and they apply so easy. Full of sparkle and fun! Looking forward to trying Colourpop's matte shadows and their new blushes!

NYX The Curve Liner ◽️ This is one of my more recent purchases that I have total fallen in love with. Being a complete winged liner addict, I love that this felt tip liner is nice and thin and the shape of this product is GENIOUS. I love that you can get a really good grip on the base and then smoothly drag the liner across your lash line without getting product all in your lashes. The black is actually BLACK and not just a dark grey and I appreciate that

Revlon Nearly Naked  ◽️ I love this foundation because my skin is so dry and the formulation is a bit oily so it works well for me. Typically I'm a full coverage foundation kind of girl as I have redness in my cheeks and well, lets be honest, I like a full face! Hide those imperfections, YES PLEASE! but this foundation is more of a sheer coverage, light to medium if you build it up. It goes on really smooth and the colour didn't oxidize on my skin at all through the day. I was shocked I liked this so much as I had read online it broke a lot of people out but the only issues I had with this foundation is the packaging. Like, why are you so unattractive? And why the large open hole at the top of the bottle! It's such a mess. Put a pump on it, Revlon.

NYX Baked Blush in Wanderlust ◽️ So I bought this product specifically because the packaging is the cutest thing I've basically ever seen in the cosmetics aisle of my local London Drugs in my life. So clean looking and then they popped that precious bow on the front and yep, you've won my heart. I only picked up the one shade as I really didn't know much going in. Wanderlust is a soft pink shade with little specks of shimmer in it {assuming that's why they call it a blush and illuminzer } when I first got home to try this, I hated and did not understand the rough layer on the surface but once you break through, this product is great! So pretty on the cheeks as a sheer light pink, but you can easily build it up for a bolder cheek statement

Maybelline Colour Sensational Rebel Bloom in Hibiscus Pop ◽️ Pretty, pretty soft bubble gum pink... Love me some pink lippies. I really threw this lippy on this favourites list because I do love the shade SO much, but I don't want to completely lie to you... I don't LOVE the wear on this lipstick. It applies a bit uneven so you have to take your time, and then after a few hours I found it really soaked into my lip lines! But the shade is beautiful so you can decide if you want to put in the werk or just say screw it and find something better!

Mac Fix+ ◽️ This stuff is basically life. I spritz this all over my face before makeup application, afterwards to set my makeup and give off a a nice sheer glow, I apply it to my foundation brush before dipping into my foundation for sheer coverage and I will even use it throughout the day to refresh my skin. It smells AMAZING. Buy it, love it, keep it in your back pocket at all times, you won't regret it.

....speaking of which I am getting scary low on my current bottle, looks like next month's makeup extravaganza is going to be starting early!!
