March Favourites!

It's that time of the month, the time to go over and recognize those products I've been loving and sharing them with the world.

This month has been a mixture of extreme heat and extreme rain. No in betweens, just extremes, great right?

I thought I'd so something a little different this month and also include a music, book and perfume favourite at the very end, let me know what you guys think about that.

Foundation and concealer have been key this month as my skin went through a mini freak out. I broke out like crazy and was left with some not so pretty scars. This month I rediscovered my love for the Revlon Photoready foundation, I've had this for a while and I go back and forth with it, I really love the colour selection and the coverage but some days I feel like it can look cakey. However this month this foundation has been my holy grail, I haven't worn any other foundation and I really like how it blurred those pesky imperfections.

Teamed with this foundation I have also been using my Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. I've been using this for highlighting under the eyes and on those spots that need extra coverage. Now you might think that this concealer would highlight the imperfections but I found it helped hide them perfectly.

To finish and set the foundation plus adding that extra bit of coverage I've been using the Australis Fresh and Flawless powder. I love this powder, it's always in my purse for touch ups, It's got really good coverage, sometimes I wear it on it's own and it makes my skin look amazing. The only downside would be the colour range isn't very big, so if you're pale or darker that I am you wont find a colour match. Maybe Australis will expand the selection eventually as it's one of their best selling products and it's very comparable to the M.A.C studio fix powder.

On my lips I've switched to darker berry tones and I've pulled out one of my all time favourite lipsticks, 'Forever Red' from W7 cosmetics! It's a beautiful deep berry with silver sparkles, and it suits all skin tones, I literally have used this colour on all my friends and it looks amazing.

On the eyes this month I've been using gold tones, especially the colour 'Galaxy' from this Playboy 'Ultimate Sultry Smokey Eyes' palette. I just brush it over the lids and blend it softly into the crease, apply liner and mascara and I'm done.

For skincare this month I've loved the 'Byphasse Make up remover solution'. It's not oily and removed even waterproof make up, it doesn't irritate my eyes and my skin feels soft and refreshed when I use it. You don't have to rinse your skin after using this but I always cleanse my skin anyway with my Avene clearance gel cleanser.

For Perfume this month I've found myself going for one of my all time favourite perfumes (it's becoming my signature smell, I use it ALL the time) One Directions 'Our moment' perfume. Whenever I wear this I always get compliments on how good  I smell, I really like that I can wear it during the day and night, it's perfect for all year round. I'm super excited to try out the new 'That moment' perfume that they're releasing soon, I hope it smells just as good.

Take a look at the hilarious commercial for it below;

My book favourite this month has been Vampire Academy, I reread the entire series in preparation for the movie (hilarious, go watch it), although in my opinion the books are way better. I fell in love with Rose's antics and Christian all over again. A very good series, have a read if you already haven't.
I also recommend reading, Divergent and the Maze runner series, both have been made into movies so keep an eye out!

Lastly here are the top 5 songs I've been listening to non stop this month;
(click to hear the songs)
5 seconds of summer - She looks so perfect
Rixton - Me and my Broken heart
Dan + Shay - 19 + you and me
McFly - All about you
Daughtry - Waiting for Superman

Hope you've had a great month, here's to April!
