As spring is finally here I have started changing up my beauty products and have found some real favourites this month. These are a few of the things which I have been loving through the month of March.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser - After discovering The Body Shop's tea tree line I have fallen in love. I have always had troubled skin and whilst I don't have bad skin at the moment, I often have redness. I picked up their Foaming Cleanser and have found it to be a gods send in taking away redness. I also picked up the Pore Minimiser on a buy one get another half price offer and have absolutely been loving it! I apply it to my t-zone and chin before my foundation and after my moisturiser and it reduces the look of pores and acts as a primer to increase your foundation staying power!
L'oreal Infallible 24hr-Matte Foundation - I have previously done a blog post on this newly launched foundation which you can find here. I have been loving it since I bought it, as the foundation is slightly too dark I have been mixing it with a light BB cream to lighten it until I have a tan. It's a matte foundation which is long lasting but doesn't feel thick and cakey. Pick it up at Superdrug and Boots now.
Real Techniques Stippling Brush - When I first bought this brush I wasn't much of a fan. However, I persisted and I'm glad I did. This brush is fantastic at applying cream blush or bronzer and it provides an even amount of product to the face producing a really natural look. I have also been using this brush with the new L'oreal foundation and using it to buff the foundation into the skin which has worked really well.
Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Contouring Pencil in 004 Indian Pink - Originally I was on the hunt for their Exaggerate lip liner in East End Snob but it was sold out everywhere. I picked up this one instead. It's quite a berry pink but isn't too dark. I've been filling my lips in with it as it's so creamy and easy to apply, making the appearance of my lips seem bigger and fuller.
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in 001 Ivory - I was looking for a budget concealer in a much lighter shade than my foundation to apply under my eyes to brighten up the area. I had heard good things about their Wake Me Up foundation and decided to try out the concealer. It's such a great product as it does brighten my under eye area making me look less tired. It's not too thick which causes it too crease, it's the perfect under eye concealer.
Pandora Bracelet - I decided to get myself a Pandora Bracelet after wanting one for a while. I have been wearing it constantly and I'm looking forward to choosing some lovely charms to add to it. I chose size 18 which is the perfect size.
Pinterest - I have been absolutely obsessed with this app this month. I think it's such a fantastic place to gain inspiration for all things, whether it is new hairstyles, home interior inspiration, new make-up looks, fashion, food recipes, holidays, I could go on and on. If you're not on it, you need to download it. The basic idea is that if you see a photo you like, you pin it to your board so people can see it and pin it to theirs and so on.
Hey! Great favourites! I've heard so many great things about the lip liners - everyone is talking about them. Pinterest is one of my favourite apps too, you can spend hours on there without even realizing!! I've done a monthly favourites post too and it would mean a lot to me if you checked it out. Here is a link http://ohjustalice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/march-favourites.html
