I am here today to talk about my FAVS/HATES for the month of March! There have been some things that I absolutely have LOVED and they now have a permanent spot in my day to day life. There are some that weren't new to me but I had forgotten about them so I found a new appreciation for them. Then... well... there are those others. We will talk about those later.
First- let's talk about the hits...
Next, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream also by SOL de Janeiro. If you want to try the smaller jar, it can be found here Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Small.
This next one is something that I've heard a lot of beauty vloggers and bloggers talk about but I had never tried for myself. I was missing out! This is a great everyday lotion especially for those of us who are currently on Accutane or who just suffer from dry skin. Cera Ve Moisturizing Lotion
Speaking of dry skin... These next items have been GAME CHANGERS for me since my skin has become dry. Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk. This one isn't new but I am getting more use out of it now more than ever before. I have tried the other types of dry shampoos that Klorane makes but this one is the best. Believe the hype because this product is worth it.
If the Brazilian Crush was number one.. this guy is number two Aquaphor Lip Repair. I have about 5 bottles. I use it all day every day and right before I go to bed at night. It's not a WANT it's a NEED.
I have been using Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light every morning after I wash my face and I use Josie Maran Pure Argan Oil at night. These two have really helped my skin out. Before I started using oil, makeup application was becoming a nightmare on my dry skin.
I watch Casey Holmes religiously so when she said she liked these next few items... I purchased them. The Loreal Foundation Blender and Wet n Wild Mega Cushion Contour in Cafe Au Slay. Both of these are amazing. The loreal blender is better than the real techniques orange one that I have loved for years and it rivals my beauty blender. I have already repurchased a few times. The Wet n Wild Cushion is perfect as a bronzer for my ultra dry skin.
I had to throw in the Bath and Body Works Marshmellow Fireside. Yes, I know it's a fall and winter scent but I DON'T CARE! I love it and it is a year round staple for me. You can't currently purchase it but when it arrives in the fall, be sure to stock up. It's one of the best they have!
Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner is something I always hear Tati talk about so I finally gave in and purchased it. It's great! I was shocked at how well it cleaned my eye shadow brushes plus it smells like vanilla which is a plus to me.
For the eyes, I've got a few loves for the month. First, Maybelline Master Precise Skinny Defining Black 210. I have used the black and brown in this and I love both. The gray one was glittery and I wasn't a fan of it. These are tiny and perfect for tight lining.
I had 2 travel/trial size mascaras this month that I really liked. The Lancome Hypnose Drama and Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara. I've kinda went back and forth with these. They both have a huge brush so if that isn't your thing, stay away. But if it is and you want false-ish (that's not a word) lashes, these are the mascaras for you.
The 2 concealers I have loved this month are Tarte Shape Tape and Urban Decay Naked Skin. The shades I am liking for under my eyes are Tarte- light neutral and UD- Peach. I love this combo. The Tarte is about 1 shade lighter than me and that mixed with the peach just cancels out all the darkness and brightens up my under eye area.
I am loving the Too Faced Sweet Peach Creamy Peach Oil Lip Gloss. It has just a little bit of color and since it's oil, it doesn't dry out my lips. When I finish this trial size, I will purchase the large one.
Last but certainly not least. Lorac Unzipped Eyeshadow Palette. This one was my first Lorac shadow purchase and I will be back for more! I honestly like this more than my small Viseart palette I got at the beginning of this year. These shadows are good and they blend very easily. I really didn't know easy blending until I got this palette.
Now for the hates...
Next, NYX eyeshadow base in white. Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 really raved on this and I completely disagree, it won't even stay on my eye or it blends away to nothing. It falls very short to Mac paint pot.
The Anastasia glow kit with Nicole Guerriero. I just don't like it. It's glittery and chunky. I like a natural highlight and this is not it. Not a fan, I am returning.
Last, Marc Jacobs Le Marc Liquid Lip Creme. I got this after hearing Adele's makeup artist Michael Ashton saying he used it on her. I was thinking... if it's good enough for Adele it's gotta be good enough for me. WRONG. It sucks and the color Fawn Over Me (her color because who doesn't want to be Adele) looks like a NYX Liquid Suede. Liquid Suede's are more comfortable. Love Marc Jacobs Gloss but not these lip cremes.
Tell me what your favorites for March were!
