March Favourites



March, where have you gone!? This month I've been really getting on board with all things pink. You'll notice that trend carrying on into next month's posts as well. It's a bold claim, but many of these products have earned staple status in the beauty lineup this month, and I can imagine myself repurchasing many of these products. There's even some non-beauty favourites for a change too, just to mix things up a bit. So without further ado, here are March's favourites..

Benefit Gimme Brow*-We've seen the hype surrounding this product and I'm here to sell you that Gimme Brow deserves all the love that it gets. A brow gel/brow mascara hybrid, this product leaves you with fuller, defined brows. The tint is incredibly subtle which I love and it stays put until you're ready to take your makeup off. Impressive stuff.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Afternoon Tea-If you're a fan of glosses without shimmer then you're bound to love Afternoon Tea. This creamy pink is pigmented, long-wearing and has only the slightest amount of stickiness. Once the gloss wears off the colour leaves a stain behind. These lipglosses also smell amazing too. You can't really go wrong with these.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure-This blush combines everything we love from the Ambient Lighting powders with stunning blush pigments. Mood Exposure has been on high rotation this month. I've had to start reminding myself I have other blushes(!). This shade adds warmth to the face, a touch of highlight and subtle sculpting. It's a stunner.

Mac Eyeshadows-I'm sure this inclusion will come as such a surprise (ahem..) but in the last few weeks since creating my Mac palette I've just found myself using these colours a lot more. Sable is my go-to shade for lazy makeup days but I've also been loving Trax which in my eyes is more of an Autumnal colour. Mac eyeshadows are definitely some of my favourites. The colours are pigmented, easy to blend and have less fallout than some other brands. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Cognito+Bobbi Brown Lipgloss in Pink Sugar* (limited edition), similar here-I have to mention these products side by side because combined they work so well together. There's not much more to say about these really. They're the perfect 'my lips but better' combination and aren't drying in the slightest. 

Eyeko Eye Do Mascara-Eyeko are on to a good thing when it comes to their mascaras and eyeliners, and this mascara is amazing. I have quite long lashes already and sometimes mascaras just make them look straight with no curl in sight. Eye Do gives length and holds a curl, perfect for sixties style lashes. It has an unusual helter skelter-esque wand, but it coats every single lash, even the pesky inner corner ones. I've tried a few mascaras in my time and this may well be my all time favourite.

Soap and Glory Hand Food-Do you want silky smooth hands without having to use a thick, greasy hand cream? You need to try Hand Food then. Its marshmallow scent is sweet, but not overpowering, and the shea butter and macadamia oil leave your hands feeling moisturised and in tip-top condition. If you're in Australia and passing by Mecca Maxima then you need to add this to your basket.

Cadbury Mini Eggs-If you haven't tried Mini Eggs then you have not lived. Cadbury only bring these out at Easter and they're basically bite sized easter eggs coated in a candy, pastel hued shell. They're delicious and dangerously addictive. Love.

Miranda Sings-I am very, very late on the Miranda Sings bandwagon, given her channel's been around since 2008. This month though I have loved her videos. Yes, they're a little bit silly but they're entertaining. Her videos with Joey Graceffa and Grace Helbig are hilarious. If you're having a bad day then give some Miranda videos a watch. Her creator, Colleen's channel is worth the watch and subscribe as well.

  4. Very glad you are a new Miranda convert ;-) She is the greatest. I would do a "Miranda face" in every show of Mamma Mia, in the bit where they "take the photo" at the wedding, hehehe!
