March Favourites

This is my first monthly favourites cause I'm pretty boring and tend to stick to the same products every month but I’ll try get into the habit of doing these every few months and let you know what I’m loving! :)

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish: If you follow me on twitter you’ll know I gave in and bought a 100ml bottle of this cleanser after buying a small bottle to try out (first impressions review here.) It really does scrub off every last scrap of makeup, leaving your skin feeling so smooth.

Revlon Lip butters: I know I know, I need to shut up about these but I couldn’t do a monthly favourites without including them. I suffer from dry lips and these are just so hydrating and have great pigmentation – what more could you ask for!? I did a full post dedicated to them here if you want a more in-depth look at them!

Barry M Berry Ice cream nail polish: This is my favourite nail polish and I literally wear it to death! It's the only nail polish I've ever had to repurchase and I'm so glad that this beautiful pastel shade is right on trend for this Spring!

Christina Aguilera Secret Potion perfume: I got this perfume for Christmas and I’ve been hooked ever since! I actually have all the Christina Aguilera perfumes because they all smell soo amazing. This one is so light and fresh smelling and with the weather turning more Spring-like, this has been my go-to perfume!

Aussie Colour Mate Shampoo: I bought this shampoo after hearing a lot about it on the blogesphere and I never knew a shampoo could make your hair feel so darn good!! My hair has never felt so smooth and soft and I’ve had people compliment me on how shiny my hair looks since using this. It also has a really nice peachy smell which I was surprised by how much I liked!

So what have been your favourites this month? :)

REVIEW: MAC Shy Girl

I am a complete lipstick addict and it’s quickly became something I wear basically everyday. On a day to day basis I tend to lean towards nudes and after purchasing MAC Hue last year I had my eye on the ever talked about Shy Girl. After months of debating I finally caved and I’m SO glad I did!

Shy Girl is described on the MAC website as a ‘neutral coral beige’ and this is fairly accurate although I think it leans more towards peachy/orange toned rather than coral! Most my nude lipsticks are pink toned so I like that it this a bit different to my usual. Because it is a slightly darker nude in my opinion, I think it would be great for almost all skin tones compared to other MAC favourites like Crème D’nude and Myth which can wash people out. I think when I get a bit of a tan this lipstick is going to look even more amazing!

This is my first cremesheen formula from MAC and so far I loves it! As I’m sure you all know by now I suffer from dry lips so I can’t stand lipsticks that make this even worse. The formula is super creamy and has such amazing pigmentation. No matter how long my lipstick lasts I always find myself applying carmex throughout the day, especially at work where the air conditioning is always on. With this lipstick I found myself going almost all day without feeling the need to apply any kind of balm which I was pleasantly surprised by! I’m so glad I gave in and purchased this lipstick and I can see it being my new go-to nude!

Have you tried Shy Girl? Also, if you guys would like to see a lipstick collection please let me know in the comments below! :)

Skin Routine for the Lazy

I’ll be honest with you girls, I’ve always been pretty lazy when it comes to my skin. I never moisturise and was never really into toner or anything until a couple of years ago. As I’ve got older I’ve definitely realised how important taking care of your skin is, especially now I’m at an age where I’m wearing more makeup. This is just my everyday skin routine for the lazy – its not overly time consuming at all but keeps my skin in good condition.
 

Morning:
In the morning I always wash my face with just a normal cleansing wash, usually Clean and Clear or Witch as I have slightly spot prone skin and they help keep this bay!

Night:

Step 1: I use baby lotion on cotton pads to take off all my eye makeup because it’s more gentle than cleansing wipes and doesn’t irritate my eyes.

Step 2: If you follow me on twitter you’ll know I gave in and purchased a 100ml bottle of Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish after buying a small bottle to try out. I use this to remove all my face makeup and just splash my face with cold water afterwards.

Step 3: I used to use toner every night but since purchasing Cleanse and Polish I only use this if I’ve had quite a bit of makeup on during the day or just feel like giving my skin an extra once over! I use the No7 toner for normal/oily skin and love it! With Boots always giving £5 off No7 vouchers it comes to just £3! Bargain!

And that’s it! Nothing fancy or that’s going to take you half an hour! This usually takes me about 10 minutes in total so no excuses girls, look after your skin! :)
