March Favourites


Happy weekend you fabulous beauty babes, who is as excited as me that the weekend is finally here, does anyone have any exciting plans? I'm just planning on having a chilled out one after a very busy and hectic week at work. I'm still pretty shocked like most you probably are that April is now in full swing and Easter has been and gone, where has the time gone I ask? So the beginning of the month is sure to bring one thing for any beauty blogger, that is of course a monthly favourites post. So here's a little summary of all the products I have been loving and using religiously though March... 

I have been in love with these lip lacquers since I got my beauties mitts on them. I love how easy they are to apply and the shades are so bright and ever so wearable. Usually I'm not a fan on lip stains, but these ones from L'Oreal are a lip stain with a twist as they add a lovely glossy shine on your lips too. I purchased the colours 'Juliet', 'Princess' and 'Romy' and I find myself alternating each colour though the week depending on what I'm wearing and what makeup look I'm going for. All three shades are equally beautiful, but I think 'Romy' (the light pink one) is my favourite as it makes such a perfect everyday lip colour -Think your lips but better, kind of shade. It's definitely been getting the most use. I'm looking to purchase more of these GlamShine Stains as the quality and lasting time of them are just fabulous. I mean the fact that you can take a sip of your drink without leaving that awful lip stain around the rim is just amazing! If you would like to see a full review and some swatches you can take a peek here

This is a little bit of a cheat, adding this concealer into this post as it's a fairly new purchase, but I think its such a fabulous concealer, it would just be rude of me not to add it into this months favourites post. The Revlon PhotoReady Concealer is just so creamy and blends like a dream - I've been having a lot of sleepless late nights recently, and I love how this concealer has completely opened and brightened my eye area up. I would say it's definitely one of those concealers that work amazingly at highlighting, and probably not the best to use for any blemishes. But if you are wanting to camouflage any dark circles then I would definitely recommend that you beauties give this ago. Might I add, I'm usually so put off by concealers in a stick form due to them being quite 'hard' and the tendency they have to drag across your skin- But this one from Revlon is just so easy to use and it feels as though it just melts away from the stick upon application. Definitely give this ago beauties. 

If your looking to add a new skincare product into your daily routine, this is the product that I definitely recommend you give ago. The Inverse Youth Recall Serum is primarily one that will help reverse any signs of ageing and one that will help to banish any fine lines or wrinkles you may have. Although I am no where near at this wrinkly stage in my life yet, you may be wondering why I love this product so much. This serum is so hydrating and feels ever so soft on your skin. I've been using this every morning and night for the last month and have found that the overall appearance of my skin looks much more even and brighter. I've also found that it's done a fantastic job and minimising my pores and works as a fantastic primer for your makeup. If you would like to have a read about all the benefits of using the Ascel Inverse Youth Recall Serum, you can take a read of my in-depth review here.

Although it's not impossible to go a week without using any kind of heated appliance in your hair (the proof is here) I do find myself reaching for my hairdryer on those mornings where I don't have time to let my hair dry naturally and when it comes to using any type of heat in your hair, a good heat defence spray is just a must. I have been loving this one from the GHD Style Range as I really feel that it's giving my hair an extra layer of protection when applying heat. Not to mention that it makes my hair ever so soft to the touch and just dreamy. Think of how your hair feels and smells when you've just come out of the salon, this Style Heat Protect Spray will give you just that feeling, which I personally love. This spray also makes me feel a lot less guilty about adding heat to my hair and for that reason alone I love it, have a look at the spray in action in my post here. Since I've had this spray I finding myself using this almost everyday without fail. 

Right at the very beginning of March I treated myself to some of the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints (even though I'm on a nail polish spending ban....naughty naughty). I had seen these polishes being much raved about throughout the blogging community and was so eager to try them out for myself. I picked out the colours 'Blueberry' and 'Greenberry' as I feel that I don't wear enough blues and greens on my nails and the colours of these two polishes are just out of this world beautiful and perfect for Spring. There so lovely on your nails that these are the only two polishes that I have been wearing on my nails this month. Blueberry definitely has to be my favourite of the two as its just such a pretty blue which does lean on the purple side ever to slightly. The formula of these Gelly Hi-Shine polishes are amazing and two coats is more than enough to achieve the colour in the bottle and the shine that they give off is just amazing, I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could see your own reflection... Maybe? :)

So that's everything for my March favourites beauties, I would love to know what products you have been loving this month or if you are loving any of the of featured in this post.

Lot's of Love
