March Favourites



As the first month of Autumn here in Australia has officially come to a close, I thought I'd celebrate the beginning of a new season and the close of another by compiling a group of things I have particularly enjoyed this last month.

 Rimmel's lasting finish matte lipstick by Kate;

As the cooler months come about, so do the darker vampy colours and often our makeup palette changes from softer pastel colours to hues of black, grey, purple and blue. So in the true spirit of autumn, I've found myself opting for a dark red lip. Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 107 has been fulfilling my recent dark red lip obsession as the colour is vibrant and as pigmented as any NARS lipstick. It's also very moisturising and easy to apply without leaving you with that chalky look. And to top it all off it's relatively inexpensive!  .

Rimmel's Wake me up foundation;

I know I'm a bit late to join the band wagon for this product, but I recently I discovered Rimmel's 'Wake me up foundation' and it's super easy to layer and gives you the option of a lighter or fuller coverage, without feeling heavy on the skin. It's moisturising and gives a dewy complexion, so if you prefer a more matte look then this foundation may not be for you. None the less I have fallen head over heels for this product and can picture myself re purchasing.

La Vie Est Belle;

I must say this is probably my signature fragrance. While it is pricey- it is definitely worth it if you love oriental smells. I received this as a present for Christmas and have been wearing it ever since, I know this fragrance is well loved by many and I am proud to say I am a new member of it's cult following.

CoverGirl's LashBlast Length;

If you are like me and don't tend to apply a full face of makeup everyday, and tend to stick to one or two products to enhance your natural beauty, then I'm sure you'll love this all time favourite of mine! I must admit I have been using this product since I was about 14 and have rarely ventured out of my comfort zone, but I just feel like this product does everything I need and want. However if your looking for a product to give you ridiculously long bold lashes or are aiming for a more of a 'night time look' then this product is probably not for you. If however, you are just new to makeup or want an 'all natural' look then this will serve you well!

Burt's Bee's radiance body lotion;

Embrace your inner disco and let your shimmer out. This body lotion is moisturising as it contains sunflower oil and aloe and makes your skin glow by enhancing you skin tone with mica. This lotion I must stress though is not for your face! (Don't learn that the hard way) and I recommend use for your arms and legs only. Although I've included this in my March favourites, I'm not entirely sold on the product as the fragrance is quite over powering and sometimes the shimmer can make me feel slightly ridiculous like a bedazzled Barbie doll. Overall I'd say I have enjoyed the product while it's lasted, however am unsure if I'll be re purchasing.

 Taylor Swift's 1989 album; 

Needless to say I'm pretty certain you'd had to of been living in another galaxy to not of heard a single song on this album yet. And if you live anywhere in Melbourne then you've probably heard me driving around blaring my stereo to this soundtrack. Honestly do I need to say much more  but "It’s a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, forevermore."

Lidnt's salted caramel balls;

If you haven't tried salted caramel yet then you are really missing out on a whole new outlook on life, well at least on chocolate. With Easter just passed I've fallen  for Lidnts 'Five moments of bliss salted caramel chocolates'. It's like heaven melting in your mouth and I ain't sorry for none of those angels melting with it.

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg;

I am totally obsessed with this book and am totally aware that my opinion is possibly very greatly influenced by the fact I am also obsessed with Zoe Sugg's beauty and lifestyle blog and youtube channels. None the less this is a great book and I have read it numerous times and devoured it in about 1 day the first time I read it.
