March was a hectic month for me as I began my post graduate
degree at university. All of a sudden it all feels real and the pressure is
immense, but if anything it made me appreciate the stars in my beauty stash
more than ever as I loved relaxing and enjoying them throughout the month.
I did play around with my eye shadows quite a bit this
month, I loved a heap of deep chocolate shades (as seen in this look!) I
used the Bad to the Bronze Maybelline Color Tattoo as a base quite often, and
also on its own if I was feeling lazy. I couldn’t tear myself away from the
Australis Curve Ink eyeliner*, jet black, long lasting and goes well with my
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara. I’m still in the habit of using YSL Touche
Eclat No.2* under my eyes to brighten, it covers up late nights and energy
drink fuelled bad behaviour really well!
Pink lips were it and a bit this month, seriously couldn’t
get enough of the hot new Face of Australia shade Peaches & Cream, which
isn’t very well named but by goodness it is probably the best shade they have ever
released. As soon as I saw it on the shelf at Priceline I was like a moth to
flame, and even Mumma Bovary said “Oh that is YOUR colour!” In the basket it
went, and I’ve been wearing it a lot this month. Maybelline Juicy Bubblegum is another
great pink that I find easy to wear, and since I’ve been favouring a glossy look I've been
teaming it with one of my all-time favourite glosses, essence Me & My Ice Cream.
Another obsession that I’ve been indulging in is a flashback to my younger
days, where lip smackers filled my school dress pockets and I was never without
one. This Strawberry/Kiwi Kool Aid scent is so damn good, and it reminds me of
a scent from my childhood but I just can’t put a finger on what it is.
Regardless, I’ve been loving these lip products silly this month.
The Face of Australia Face Base primer has crept back into my daily
routine and I don’t really know why I stopped using it. Feels just like a
moisturiser rather than a velvety finish primer, and from blog posts I’ve read
it is actually the Napoleon Perdis primer repackaged and much cheaper!
Surprisingly my most worn and most loved blush for March was Cream Soda from
the MAC Archie’s Girl collection. Chris bought me this as I was upset about not
being able to find Prom Princess (ended up getting it later) and I’ve worn this
one more than PP! Another product that has jumped back into my daily routine is
the grungy looking Prestige brow gel, I’d forgotten how much of a difference
you can make to your face just by grooming your brows well!
Now that my brain is focused on university and all the joys
that come along with it, I neglected to include my Dove Body Milk for Dry Skin*
and the object of my nail polish love affair. L’Oreal Color Riche in Luxembourg
Garden* has truly stolen my heart, it isn’t often that I reapply the same
colour time after time but I have been aching to reapply this every single time I do
my nails.
What would you love to try from this lot of favourites? What
pink lip product do you swear by?
