Aloha my lovely people! Happy April! I am back - with a fresh new layout! What do you think? I think it looks quite fresh and yes I had to add in the turquoise somewhere! :P
Please accept my sincere apologies! Since I've taken up a brand new leadership role at my school, I've been pretty busy plus I have been on two trips - one work related and the other just a plain old holiday! I've got lots of exciting posts about my career, travels, beauty and life! I will be posting a few this week so keep an eye out!
But I thought I would start off with a beauty post as I've been diggin' some newbies lately!
I have listed these from left to right and explained why I LOVED them so much last month!
#1: Urban Decay Quick Fix Prepping Spray: This is a newbie and I LOVE it! The weather it getting pretty hot and humid here and this does the job of prepping and hydrating my skin before my makeup. I have found that it plays a HUGE part in keeping my makeup on throughout the day too. Well done Urban Decay!
#2: Urban Decay Cannonball Mascara and #3: Benefit Roller Lash Mascara : I actually use this in conjunction with the Benefit Roller Lash mascara. I apply the Roller Lash first to separate my lashes and curl and then the Cannonball to intensify the colour and volume of my lashes. This must be my third purchase of them now and still loving how they work together!
#4: MAC Prolong Wear Concealer in NW25 & NC35: These are more newbies. As I have a tanned slightly, I found that the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealers are too light plus I didn't think they lasted long on my skin. I had heard good reviews about this concealer so I ended up buying two; NW25 for blemishes and NC35 for my under eyes and I am AMAZED! They're perfect and to the point LONG LASTING!
#5: Bobbi Brown BB Cream in Medium: I have recently converted to the BB BB Cream because of its benefits. It has an SPF35, is lightweight and the shade matches me perfectly even after oxidising. I love the satin finish and it provides me with enough coverage too.
#6: Inglot Mascara in 24: I've also switched up my black eyeliner for brown and it's amazing what colours can do for your makeup look. It is much softer looking and really makes my brown eyes pop! The staying power again is great which is a bonus for me in this weather!
#7: MAC Peaches Blush: Hello Spring or should I say Summer now? I love how this blush provides my skin with a splash of luminosity and glow.
#8: Milani Luminoso Blush: I use this as blush topper on MAC Peaches and it really brings out a dewy, glow from within.
#9: MAC Oak Lip Liner: I remember when blogger Bubblegarm used to rave about this lip liner but I wasn't sure it would suit me. Anyways, I bought it a few months ago and have been using it ever since - so thanks Muhsine! :) It is a lovely neutral colour that defines the lip really subtly.
#10: Jouer Lip Enhancer in Clear: My new favourite lip plumping, moisturise without the tingle. This is AMAZING! No, seriously, I am almost done with my first tube. It is so luxurious and moisturising whilst plumping my lips ever so slightly. I use this day and night and have seen the difference it has made. I will most definitely be repurchasing.
#11: MAC Myth Lipstick and #12: Cargo Lipgloss in Sahara: I've recently discovered beauty vlogger Chrisspy and loved her lip colours. So when I found out that she paired MAC Myth with Cargo's Sahara I was up to try it out. I use MAC Oak to line my lips and then apply MAC Myth and a slick of Sahara on top. It's the perfect nude lip combo - thanks Chrisspy!
So there you have it, my faves from the month of March. I hope you enjoyed reading it!
Thank you,
Lots of love,
Sara
