March Favourites

Good morning everyone.  Can you believe that we are in April already. March has gone so fast. March was a good month for me as I had good fun with my sister and my family. Work was also going good. As it was going so good I had treated myself to a few beauty products. Well to be honest some of the things are new and some are not. As I am trying to use products that already have instead of buying new products all the time. 

Beauty:

Most people have a huge amount of make up brushes. While I don't have that many. I have a few Real Techneques ones and just odd ones here and there. I jumped at the chance to try this make up brushes from Pennys (Primark) by the P.S line when they came in to store. They all cast €2.50 each. As they are so cheap I didn't think that they would be any good. But oh my god, they are as good as my Real Techneques. The bristles are synthetic and very soft. The angled brush I used to apply my blush and contour with. The second double ended stipple brush is very good to apply concealer with and highlight. The last one is also a double ended, one side is a dome shaped eye shadow brush and the other end is a short bristles angled side, very handy to apply your eyeliner with or also for your brows if you use power to shade your brows. They are really good quality of brushes. There isn't a very huge variery of brushes from this line. 


Also from the P.S line from Pennys ( Primark) I love the lipliners. They are so creamy and glide one effortlessly. These are the one that I have.

For the past month I have been using the Maybelline Colossal Mascara and the Collection Super size mascara. I fist use the Collection Supersized as its little drier formula while the Maybelline is more on the wet side. I really like the both.


Instead of a foundation I have been using a Garnier BB cream. I like to wear it going to work as its a light coverage but it does the job, as I don't want to be covered in make up at work. I like the natural look. For those dark circles underneath my eyes as I have to get up so early in the morning I 
 use the Catrice All Round Concealer. This is my second one. Its really creamy and it don't crease underneath my eyes during the day.


I was never one for contouring my face but I have trying to do so and as they say practice makes perfect. I have been using other products to contour and it didn't look very nice so I was on a hunt for a good product and I think I have found it. Its the Sleep contour palette in Fair. It has the perfect contour shade, a nice highlight shade that is not over the top and a nice blush, that you have to use is very little as a little way goes a long way. The blush has a little bit of shimmer to is, something on to the highlight shade. I have to say that this is my life saver. 





To take off all of my beautiful face every day I started using the Boots Cleansing lotion. It is infused with cucumber. It leave my face feel so smooth and silky. I love it and I wouldn't use anything else.



I have heard so many good things about the next two products. The first one is the Rimmel Pressed translucent powder. I can see why people all over the beauty community were raving about this. I use it for work and I have to say that its a miracle. The second product I bought a little while ago but I didn't use it that much its the MUA Highlight. I sometimes apply it on top of other highlighter to make it more dramatic. I know I am not very dramatic but sometimes I just want that little bit of  'oh lala'


Katie my sister bought me this perfume from Christmas and I have been using it nearly everyday. Its the Celine Dion Signature perfume. I love it. She know me well.


For the last but not least I have to share with you all my favorite boots, that I have been wearing as mush as I can with anything that will do with them. They are just so comfy and go with pretty much anything. I think I will have to show you guys. I bought these in Pennys (Primark)


Well guys those are my favorites for this month. What are your favorites last month. Let me know down in the comments below.

Monthly Favourites

Hello my lovely beauties! Today I come to you with a monthly favourite! Something that I haven't done in very long time. These are the products that I have been using all months. 


Starting with the sun screen. As we having been getting lovely heat wave it's very important to wear some block. This one from Nivea 50+. As you can see this one is for babies but if you are very fair and you have sensitive skin this is a great one to use. I use it on Rhys all the time. I use it on myself too. I burned my hand when I was a child and now I have to take extra care of it in the sun, and it does a great job. 


With the nice sun I have got a fine colour on my face and went I was out I didn't want to be wearing heavy foundation so a BB cream I would reach the most. This BB cream I got for €1.50 it's light and it does the job. I am not a huge fan of BB creams so this one is just fine for me.


For he lips I use this Nivea lip butter. I would always have a tin like this of Vaseline but this little guy has changed my mind and I will never go back again. I absolutely love how this lip butter makes my lips feel. I hate having chappy lips. It's awful. What I like to do is to put this on before I go to bed and in the morning I have smooth lips a baby's bottom would compare. LOL!! 


On to the eyes. I don't have much time to get ready so I like to just put on something very quick and leaved or town. This quad is always my best friend. The shades are fantastic and you won't be looking over the top. This quad is called 945 Midtown Mauve. It's created for brown eyes I don't have brown eyes but I was looking at the one for green eyes and there is only one shade that is different to what I have. I live NYC quads they are great quality and very affordable too. 


Staying with the eyes. Very much new Rimmel scandaleyes gel liner in Emerald from the Kate Moss collection is my favourite so far. I love the Emerald colour and its a nice change from the black. 


Into the face. This blush from Collection is called Bashfull and its a light pink shade very pigmented and a fab blush for other skin tones. Cheap but great product. 


Staying with the face. As I was using the BB cream I felt that I was very oily and yet I have very dry skin so to reduce that oily shine I used my Avon pressed powder in light medium. This powder is from the ideal flawless collection. I really don't know if Avon sell them any more. As Avon has left Ireland. As I said I have dry skin and I really don't use this or any powder but when I have to use it, it does the job. 


And last but not least a nail polish that I have used so many times during the month. It's from NYC and its called Disco Inferno. I love how this just brings up any colour of polish. All you need it one coat. 

I hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites. What is your favourites?
