...March favourites...

Hello lovelies :)

Another month is over...April came replacing my favourite month March, but I am not sad because every month has its own speciality and I am looking forward everything what will April bring along...

I am very sad the highly expected Spring did not even show a hint that it is coming :(
It is raining cats and dogs outside so I thought I would share with you my favourite of last month, just to make my mood better when looking at those beautfil things.

This month I have only make-up and nails related products, I don´t have much because even though I bought some new products I didn´t have enough time to make up my mind about them.


So let´s begin...:)


Foundation and related stuff:


This month´s favourite foundation is Rimmel´s Match Perfection in 200 Soft Beige. I bought it in the very beginning of the month because I needed a foundation lighter than the one I used. So I found this one and it immediately became my favourite. It has very light consistency, easy to apply, blends very well and does not cause me any break-out. It came with a primer Rimmel´s Fix&Perfect Pro primer. Even though, I owned this primer before I didn´t use it, but I decided to buy the foundation+primer for a reduced price ( I can´t clearly remember how much did it cost, but it was an irresistible offer). Since then I am using this primer on the everyday basis and I am completly satisfied with it.





Blush and bronzer:


I wasn´t a big fan of blushes before, I owned only one and was completely satisfied with it. But one day I realized that sometimes it is "too much", I need a more settled colour blush. So I went to the drugstore and spent approximately 1 hour  trying different shades and brands, and finally found this Rimmel one. It is Rimmel Match Perfection Blush in 003 Medium. It contains three beautiful colours, which mixed together create a nice settled nearly pinkish peachy colour with little shimmer in it.

This horrible weather made me crave for some tan and the best way to achieve it is to use a bronzer :)
My favourite bronzer of the month are the Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls in Warm.




Eye stuff:


This month I have no eye products such as mascara, eye liner, etc. I haven´t changed my routine so that means no new products. But I have two products, which are worth mentioning. One is Pupa Smoothing and Fixing Eye Primer. This stuff is much better than the Gosh one I used. It makes my eye products such as eye shadows, eye liner last whole day without creasing, leaves my eyelid smooth and matt. I looove it! I am seriously thinking of re-purchasing it again.

For filling in my eye brows I´ve been using an eye brow pencil for a very long time. But somehow I started to dislike its colour and the way it filled in my brows ( hope it does make sense), I´ve seen a lot of beauty gurus using powder to fill in their eyebrow so I decided to give it a try. I was a little bit sceptical, but don´t regret  changing my routine. I bought the cheapest one available in the drugstore, I didn´t like the more expensive ones - one came with a looot of shades (useless I think),  another was too dark, so I went with Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set. It comes with 2 shades, three patterns and one small brush ( I am using one of my brushes as I don´t like this one). And it is fantastic :) I strongly recommend trying this!



Eye shadows:


I have two favourite eyeshadows this month. First is iQ cosmetics ( a brand of an Austrian drugstore Bipa) Colour Expression Mono Shadows in 6 Plum. Even though it was very cheap I am suprised how pigmented it is and how easily can it be applied.

The second is Avon True Colour quatro in Vivid Violet. I get a lot of use from this product! I contains beautifuly pigmented colours and I have worn this a lot of times this month.




Lip products:


In the beauty world and among the beauty gurus this product induced a lot of discussions and I haven´t seen a single beauty guru, who haven´t liked this products.

By now, you maybe have guessed it is Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers. They have immediately became my favourites with their long lasting wear, pigmentation, colour range and texture. That is such a pity our drug stores does not offer all the available colours just a few of them :(
I own them in 300 Out of this world and statement colour 400 Big Bang.
My second favourite product of this month is Avon Lip Balm, but unfortunately I threw out its package so I don´t know its full name. :-/




Nail related products:


Last but not least, my favourite nail polishes...you may guess one of those is O.P.I Pink Yet Lavender, I have a post on it here.

The second favourite is Pupa Bubbles Nail Art Mania in 001 Black. I´ve done a review on this product here.
One of my recent purchases has also became my favourite and it is Pupa Fix&Shine Top Coat, which makes my nail polish last longer and gives it a beautiful shine :)




That´s all for today :)

What are your March favourites?
Do you have any new products you tried recently?

Hope you had a great Easter and wishing you a nice week!
