March Favourites 2014


Welcome to my March Favourites 2014 Post! Unlike last month, which was mostly skin and hair care products, this month most of my favourites are beauty products. Only two of these products were actually purchased in the month of March, but they quickly became favourites.
My first favourite is Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream, and I have this in the shade Light/Medium Tint. I have not worn foundation since January, instead I've been wearing this everyday. I read about it on Anna Saccone's blog and it is just a magnificent product. This is a gel based BB cream or tinted moisturizer. It has SPF 30 and creamy not too heavy texture. This provides a sheer coverage, however if you do have blemishes or acne scars, use this in conjunction with a heavy duty concealer like Vichy Dermablend or Maybelline Super Stay and it will provide a more natural looking base. You can apply this with your fingers or a brush, and if you have slightly oilier skin it blends beautifully with a powder. 


Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sugar Frosting. I've heard this lip butter is similar to the Dior Addict Lip Glow but having not tried it I am not sure. This lip butter does however give your lips a sheer wash of colour. I find this one is subtler than the other lip butters that I own. I guess less opaque would be the word. 

Maybelline Dr. Rescue Baby Lips. I apply this to my lips every morning before I put on my makeup, and every night before bed. It keeps my lips soft and hydrated all day.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Stick in Blushing Mauve. I cannot say enough about this lipstick. If I do feel like wearing actual lipstick this is the colour I go for. It is about a shade darker than my natural lip colour. The formula is creamy and it has great staying power. Definitely a great lip colour if you are a fan of the natural makeup look. 


Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Medium/Deep Matte. I got this bronzer as a part of the Beauty Blogger Darlings set which I got for Christmas. Needless to say, I have been using this to contour everyday since December 25th and I love it! It smells like chocolate, has excellent pigmentation. A little bit of this goes a long way! I've been using it for 3 months and haven't even put a dent in it. I will definitely be purchasing a full size one when this has run out.

And finally my only non beauty favourite is the orange and white polka dot scarf from Forever 21. I got this just before school started last fall, and I am wearing it to usher in spring. It is big, it's comfy, and it brightens up my day :)

Hope you enjoyed this post! Sorry for not posting as often but my schedule is currently madness.

Fab February: Makeup Wishlist/To-Do List for 2014

For today's Fab February post I thought I would post my makeup wishlist in honour of "Wishful Wednesday".... Yes, I just made that up.... Basically this post is of all the beauty related products that I would like to purchase or try in 2014. Kind of an odd post, but I have read a number of posts like this and I have always found them a useful forum. So if you have tried any of these products or have products that you want to try out in 2014 feel free to comment! 1. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder . I have heard so much about this bronzer and I think that after my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer runs out this will be my next bronzer purchase. 2. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop. I have a feeling this blush is going to become my go to for the spring and summer. It looks like a grogeous plum shade which would be perfect for my light-medium cool toned complexion. 3. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I am already in love with the original Naked Palette, and I just kn...
