Look Of The Month | March

Hey there lovely people of the internet! Happy Easter to you, I hope that you've had a lovely one! 
I'm sharing with you my look of the month from March. I like to play around sometimes with my daily makeup look and the one that I have worn the most through the last month is this one. 
I discovered the pro base primer this month which was recommended to me by a work friend and I now don't like the way my makeup rests on my face without it! As you all know, I'm a sucker for good products at a bargain price, and this is another of those! Go and pick it up from Superdrug and give it a go. Matched with my favourite liquid foundation to base this look is perfection! I have gone for a thinner eyeliner wing for this months look using my absolute favourite liquid eyeliner from Collection 2000, this thinner eyeliner paired with my all time favourite mascara from Clinique is something which I have really loved the past month. It makes my eyelashes really stand out and, yep you know how much I love my eyes! I have matched this eye look with a brilliant newly discovered lip product - maybelline colour drama. I use it in this look in the 'keep it classy' shade. I have fallen head over heels in love with this lip product. The shades are really lovely, this one being my favourite so far and the intensity of the colour is really daring but I think easy to get away with. It's so easy to just put on and it matches pretty well to any outfit - it also lasts pretty long during the day which is a bonus! 
As always part of my daily makeup routine I have to have my stay matte powder from Rimmel. I use the warm beige colour as this is just one shade up from my ivory foundation and I feel that it just gives me that little bit of extra colour as well as a really great matte finish, just as it says! I have used it for years and will continue to do so in my daily routine I trust in it way too much now! I should probably really give something new a try... Hey if you can recommend any pressed powders that you're using at the moment, let me know! 
To top this look I have been using a slightly lighter blusher than normal as we are edging closer to the summer months, I think it's appropriate to bring out the lighter shades. As you can tell in the photo I have had this blusher product for a while now, I do really like it when I have it on but I just don't seem to use it that often. I have been with this look though as I feel that it contrasts well to the darker lip shade. 
Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time,

February Favourites

Hello lovelies! First of all, i know what you're thinking. Yes I know we're in March now but we're only at the beginning and I meant to post this earlier and surprise, surprise - I didn't get round to it.
I have been crushing on 3 products through February, so much so that they have potentially changed my life in the beauty world forever! Or at least until I find something else. 
First and foremost, I have been totally jumping on the eyebrow band wagon. I have never been one for drawing on my brows or any of that, I just pluck the hell out of them and hope they look alright - I also dye my hair a lot and they are so differently coloured to my hair now it's getting embarrasing therefore when I stumbled upon Makeup Revolution,  I just couldn't miss the opportunity to try out drawing my eyebrows on.  
I absolutely love the medium dark pallet as I feel this is the best that matches the colour of my brows and blends well with the colour or my hair also. It comes with a diagonal brush for application and also some mini tweezers which are actually great and it comes with a gel as you can see in the bottom lefy hand corner of the pallet photo.  I love to use this when I'm going out for the extra security that my brows aren't going to smudge off through the night! 
If you're looking for a great brow pallet on a budget, I really recommend this one. 
Another February favourite of mine is this Clinique anti blemish liquid makeup. This is probably my favourite beauty product of all time. I used to use this when I was younger when my acne was at it's worst and I fell in love with it then. I only just started using it again as it is a little more pricy than my usual day to day makeup. I'm so glad I decided to get back to it though, I have never known a liquid foundation that covers my belmishes quite like this one does. Not only does it provide flawless coverage but it's also really light so I don't feel like I've caked my face in loads of rubbish. 
If you, like me are an acne sufferer or just have some belmishes that you're wanting to hide but can't find anything that is doing the trick, I really suggest you try this one. Once you've used it, you will never want to go back. 
I have saved my fave Feb favourite until last. My best discovery. 
Dry shampoo is my best friend, with my hair being so thick I can't wash it too much as it goes very dry and it is too much to manage - here's where the dry shampoo comes in. I always just brought batiste original as this is just force of habit that I have brought for years. However this February I decided to try something different. This dark brown dry shampoo was the result and I love it! I was so sick of the faint white powder that the original always left behind but this does none of that. It is so refreshing to my hair and you don't even notice that it's dry shampoo in it - Fabulous! You need to get on this if you have dark hair - it's a god send. 
I hope you have enjoyed reading my favourites, let me know what you have been loving the last month!
Thanks for reading, lots of love.
