March Favourites

Hello!
March for me was a month of holding onto winter colours and experimenting with browns and mauves and golds! My goal for april is to use more colours so hopefully I will have some spring makeup looks up soon! I seemed to buy quite a few lip products this month whereas for all of my other products I shopping my collection and reliving old products of mine! So here's my favourites...

1. Creighton's Perfectly Clear Calming Spot Gel

I'm starting with a random skincare product as this has honestly saved my life this month. I can't remember where/when I bought this product but I remember it being £1-£2. I've been trying out lots of different skincare this month and so my skin has been all over the place and has been trying to break up quite a lot. As soon as I feel any sort of break out of blemish on it's way I leave a dab of this on overnight and by the morning 9/10 times it's gone! I'm running low so will have to hunt this down soon. 

2. MAC Strobe Cream

As the weather's been getting a little better recently i've been really into a more dewy finish to my skin and MAC Strobe Cream is perfect for this. I mix a little bit in with my foundation and it gives me a perfect glowing finish. This is also great for mixing into foundations that are too dark for your face as it will make it lighter and blend out evenly. I know i'll be using this a lot as it gets more into summer!

3. MAC Mehr

I got this recently as a free Back 2 Mac item and wrote a review on it which you can read here. I love this shade for all sorts of looks and it pairs perfectly with my favourite MAC Lipliner Whirl. I'd never seen it before in MAC but was is the perfect mauve- brown matte shade.

4. No.7 Precision Lip Pencil - Nude

Alongside MAC Whirl, this is my all time favourite lip liner. It is the perfect nude for my lip and pairs with light, dark, pink or brown nudes. It lasts hours on my lips even through eating and applies so smoothly. I also have a red from this line which I love too but will definitely be buying some more soon!

5. YSL Rouge Volupte - 32

The packaging on this lipstick is everything and the colour is the perfect brighter pink. The product itself is quite sheer but perfect for spring and is very moisturising. My first YSL product but definitely not my last!

6. MAC Single Eyeshadow's - Woodwinked (Left) and Cork (Right)

I've had both of these shadows for quite a while, especially Woodwinked yet have only rediscovered this again recently. Cork is the shade that I've been using as my crease shade all month, every single day and its the perfect neutral brown shade. I haven't been buying any MAC shadows for a while just because I know there are so many same quality shadows for a fraction of the price however I already have these and I do love them.

7. Nars Duo - Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm Blush

I got this mini duo last year in new york and have only really been using it this year. As you can see i've recently hit pan on Laguna as it's the perfect summer bronze shade with a slight shimmer to it. I also really like Orgasm blush but am scared to use these two shades together as I feel my face becomes quite shimmery, however alone they are perfect!

8. Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick - 1995 

I recently did a post about this as I purchased four Gerard Cosmetics items and this has definitely proven to be my favourite so far. Designed by one of my favourite YouTuber's Jaclyn Hill, this lipstick is that Kylie Jenner look that everyone wanted however slightly more brown. Perfect for a more glam evening look.

So that's all of my March Favourites, quite a lot of lip products! April for me will be all about colours and all about the drugstore! What have you been loving this month? Let me know in the comments!
Hope you enjoyed,

Current Wish List

I'm always on the look for new products but recently these have been the products constantly catching my eye. A lot of them are well raved about on youtube and on many beauty blogs so here's what I'm currently saving up for...

1. Anastasia of Beverly Hills Contour Kit

This product seems to have sparked a whole new wave of contour kits on the market as it seems so practical to have all your highlight and contour shades together in one palette. I really want to create my own and pick my own shades so I can get into contouring more and it's perfect how the shades just pop out for refill pans!

2. Becca Shimmering Skin Perfecter Pressed - Opal

This has recently been raved about as one of the best highlighters on the market, especially for it's price. I first heard about this early last year from YouTuber Jaclyn Hill who now raves about Becca and all of their highlighters and after seeing it become more and more famous it's definitely something I want to get my hands on!

3. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick - Velvet

I included one of these Too Faced Melted Lipsticks in my January favourites post as I currently have and love the shade nude. Velvet looks like a beautiful shade and I'm all for a berry coloured lip at the moment but just need to get my hands on some! I love the consistency and scent of these products so will definitely be picking this shade up soon.

4. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Another Too Faced Product! Aside from the incredibly cute packaging, I have wanted to purchase this mascara for a while now as it's so raved about. It's supposedly incredible at thickening and lengthening, giving you a false lash effect without the falsies!

5. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick - Beige

Probably the product that has been on my wish list the longest. I ALWAYS swatch this product but get heartbroken at the price as it's so beautiful but just a highlighter right? A gorgeous one however, I'm looking to pick this up in duty free in the airport next month to save myself a little bit of money! This is definitely my favourite of all the shimmer brick shades, however they all are incredible colours.

6. Nars Sheerglow Foundation

When it comes to foundations I prefer a more dewy finish to a matte one, and I'm always on the look for the perfect foundation for me. I love how it appears so fresh and gives a natural glow to the skin as even though I enjoy wearing a lot of makeup, I still normally prefer a more natural look. I'm in between a few foundations at the moment but as soon as I use some up this will be a definite purchase for me!

7. Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows

Makeup Geek have truly risen to fame in the beauty world in the last year and I've always watched Marlena, the founder of the brand on YouTube. I'm still yet to get my hands on any of the shadows as all the shades I want are normally sold out! Their new line of foiled eyeshadows look incredible and have been so raved about for their pigment and wet 'foiled' look. They currently come in 10 shades and I honestly want them all!

8. MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus

I think i'm one of the only true remaining Miley Cyrus fans in the world so I may be a little biased but even still I've loved all of the past Viva Glam's, and this one is no different! The lipstick is a hot pink amplified shade and the lip glass matches with a shimmer to it. Both very fun colours and a great cause for your money to go to! These will definitely sell out quick but I will definitely try my hardest to get a hold of these products.

So that's everything in my current wish list however things are constantly being added on to it daily! What is on your current wish list? Let me know so I can check it out!
