,
Hello everyone,
Who can believe its March already? I certainly can’t. I feel like Christmas was only last week!
This is going to be a rather quick post. I am still loving the majority of products from my January favourites, but these are a few little lovelies that I have also been gravitating toward most of this month.
Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter – Cold weather over the past few months has really given my skin some grief. I am a bit of a body cream hoarder but I am so in love with the smell of this body butter it is getting used up particularly quickly. It reminds me of summer so I slather the stuff all over me to cocoon myself in the glorious, uplifting scent.
Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum Oil – I have been in need of a serum for ages so thought I would try this out as it’s not too expensive compared to some! I haven’t really noticed anything majorly different in my skin, but then I haven’t been using it religiously every night. It does feel silky soft when massaging it in and the smell is divine. I shall start putting it on every night and give a proper review of it soon.
Crest Glamorous White Mouthwash – I first purchased a bottle of this when I was in America last October/Novemeber. I find it really whitens my teeth, especially when used inconjuction with a whitening toothpaste. It does have a bit of a funny after taste due to the hydrogen peroxide but that’s to be expected and you do get used to it. Again I don’t use it religiously just for a few days in a row to get them whiter when I need.
Revlon Colour Burst Balm Stain in Striking – I love these colour burst balm stains for a quick on the go lip. They’re moisturising, long lasting and super quick and easy to put on, even without a mirror to hand.
Anastasia Brow Wiz – I was adamant this really wouldn’t change my life like every beauty blogger/ youtuber made out but once I gave it a go I could see just what all the fuss was about. It makes your brows look like HD brows – if you spend the time to draw the shape in. On a day to day basis, if I’m not going anywhere particularly special, I will use my cheap brow powder compact to fill them in. I use the brow wiz for more special occasions – when I don’t mind using expensive products.
Dior Diorshow Maximiser Mascara– This stuff is an absolute god send to lashes! It makes my lases look so much fuller. It is rather expensive but I do really like the effect it gives and will definitely repurchase. Unless anyone can recommend a cheaper one that is just as good?
Buxom Mascara – This has one of the plastic brushes which I find is really good for separating lashes and coating them in the product. Gives really good definition and length, doesn’t smudge and doesn’t flake off.
Seche Vite Top Coat –Again I was dubious about all the claims, but it really does make your nail varnish dry almost instantly. Takes so much time off painting your nails.
Formula X Nail Varnish in Ignite – I just really love this colour. Simple.
Vita Liberta Nkd Skn Liquid Tan Dark. – I am always in search of a great faux tan, especially when the weather warms up and the arms and legs start to make an appearance. I bought this quite a few months ago, at the time it was on offer so thought I would give it a go, and I am so glad I did! It is an almost water like liquid that you spray. I find because it is so fluid it doesn’t leave a sticky residue and you can pretty much slip your clothes on straight away. It does transfer abit when you first put it on and put clothes on, but nowhere near as some of the more thicker gel or cream/lotion type tans. I always put mine on at night and wash off in the morning. Once washed off the tan doesn’t transfer and is a lovely golden brown colour. It lasts about 4-5 days with washing every day and moisturising afterward. If washing less often it would probably last about a week without going patchy. I’ve never experienced it going patchy, it just tends to fade which I love! Personally I think this is a great tan and will definitely re-purchase when I run out, which will be quite soon!
Random favourites
This month I have had a few non beauty favourites that I feel deserves a mention.
Favourite song: Ten Walls, Walking With Elephants – I just can’t get enough of this song as of late. It’s so funky but also quite chilled, which I know sounds bizarre but give it a listen and you may catch my drift. If you’re in to this type of music that is! I love bass and deep house and this is just simple but effective for me. Playing it on repeat for days!,
Favourite TV Programme: Impractical Jokers – I first watched this when I was in America last October and I just haven’t been able to stop watching it since discovering we have it on UK TV too! It is literally the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
Favourite Youtuber: ZuzkaLight– This past month I have been trying to get back into working out, start loosing some of the Christmas/January weight and just generally start being healthy again. Whenever I need inspiration to exercise I always watch Zuzka! Just seeing her super fit bod gives me a kick up the bum towards working out, but her videos are brilliant and really motivational. She does all sorts, from quick 5 minute workouts to 40 minute killer cardio. Diet and food talks to specific exercises for certain body areas. She is also really lovely and so pretty.
Favourite Drink: Twinnings Salted Caramel Green Tea – Need I say more? Healthy and tastey, a match made in heaven. Just what you need when restarting a health kick.
And that’s all for now folks. Hope you enjoyed. If you have any questions please ask 🙂
Until next time, cheerio! xx
