Much Loved in March

So as the end of March is already upon us (seriously,it'll be christmas soon!!!) I thought Id post a round up of the items that I have been reaching for the most this month...



Eye shadow
The ones I have been wearing mostly this month are 'woodwinked' and 'sumptuous olive' by MAC.Both effortlessly wearable,they also look great when applied together or with 'sumptuous olive' as a contour colour.



Highlighter
I have been using MAC 'Vellum' eyeshadow as a cheek highlighter.I also apply lightly over my cupid's bow to add definition to my lips.


Lipstick

This month I have worn MAC 'chatterbox' lipstick more than any other shade,an amplified creme finish, it's non drying,long lasting and I love the instant bright look of it when applied full on,straight from the tube.

Lip Gloss

I haven't actually been wearing as much Lip gloss as I normally wear this month,as mainly I have been pairing a more subtle eye with bright lips and cheeks.If I have picked out a gloss it's been the Barry M bubblegum pink shade.Why does Barry insist on not naming his Glosses? Come on Bazza!!

Blusher
Check out the rim of the Pan to see how much I have been wearing this!!
(I've only had it about a month!)

Without question my most recent favourite is Sleek blush in 'pixie pink' I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I did originally pick it because of the name! But now I can hand on heart say that it is my new number 1 blush!


Mascara
Still loving the 'One by One' Mascara by Maybelline review here.

Eye liner


RMK gel eyeliner 'Deep Blue'. I love the colour of this liner as from a distance it looks black but is actually a deep royal blue which looks great against brown eyes without being too 'in your face' for daytime wear.



Tan




Garnier summer body gradual tanning lotion.
I love everything about this tan,from the bright yellow sunshine-y packaging to its fresh summery scent! It gives me a light,even tan in one application,but I do like a bit more colour (basically I wanna look like J-lo!) and usually apply it 2-3 days consecutively for my personal tastes.The colour is my idea of tan perfection and never leaves my skin feel grubby as I find it does with some self tanners! Does anyone else feel like that or is it just me?


Perfume


At the moment,I only have one bottle :'( which is Angel by Thierry Mugler. I do usually have more but for some reason I just haven't been willing to stump up the cash.I did pop into Boots last week with the intention of buying Vivienne Westwood's 'Naughty Alice' but it was way too sweet for me,It smelled almost exactly like Kenzo and very similar to guerlain 'insolence'.
 I think my next purchase will be Armani code or Lancome 'Poeme' which I haven't had for years, but spritzed myself with it on the above mentioned trip to Boots,and the scent lasted all day,which is something I don't find happening too often!


Nail Varnish


If you read my last post,you will be aware that I purchased Chanel 'Black pearl' Polish yesterday, so this is now my Ultimate favourite ! But other than that I have mainly been wearing Barry M 'Dusky Mauve' which is an absolute awesome dupe for Chanel 'Paradoxal' I would definitely recommend saving yourself £15 and picking up the Barry M over Chanel.I'm also loving Barry M Pastel and coral shades on my toes now that the British weather has got it's act together!






Phew rather a long post there!! 
What has been much loved by you this month?

  11. I love your eyeshadow picks, I have all of those as well. As a hazel eyed girl Sumptous Olive really brings out the greenness in my eyes, which I love.
