March Favourites 2014

For me, March has been an absolute roller coaster. I started Uni at the end of February and it has been ridiculously crazy understanding everything and taking it all in. I have been swamped with assignments for the last two weeks and it has really been stressing me out. I did mention somewhere on the blog that uni comes first but this is a cheeky post that I really wanted to get out to you guys. Nonetheless, here is the products I have been loving in March.

Covergirl Clump Crusher by Lashblast

I have literally been wearing this mascara every day for the month of March. I don't know what it is but it just makes my lashes look so natural while providing some length and some volume. I actually prefer this mascara to my others and I can tell that it's going to be a favourite for a while.

Nivea Lip Butter {Caramel Cream}

omg, I can't even describe how delicious this lip butter smells! Not only does it smell great, it makes my chapped lips feel so smooth! Ever since I have started using this lip butter, my lips haven't even split, NOT EVEN ONCE!! Crazy?! I know! I do love this lip product and I know I want to get my hands on the other ones. 

Revlon Colorstay Stay Natural Makeup {04 Sand Beige}

I don't tend to swap out my foundations that often but as my skin has improved, I wanted to try something that would last most of the day and something that provided a more natural finish. I rediscovered this foundation in my draw at the beginning of March and it does exactly what I want it to do which has made it a favourite this month.

Maybelline Express Nail Polish Remover

I have painted my nails countless times this month and I have heavily relied on the Maybelline Express Nail Polish Remover. I have a review about why I like it so much but a quick rundown would be that it makes the tedious job of removing nail polish so effortless and requires no time at all. 

Essie Nail Polish {Watermelon}

As summer was coming to a close, I have painted my nails a lot with Essie's "Watermelon" quite a bit this month. It is such a gorgeous shade that isn't too bright but not too toned down. It's just the perfect hot pink! 

Revlon Lacquer Balm {130 Tease}

I just couldn't resist! I was waiting forever for the new revlon matte and lacquer balms to hit my local stores and as soon as I saw they were available, I had to pick some up. You know how I am a sucker for orange shades and out of all of them, my favourite has been "130 Tease". Full review is coming soon! ;D

MAC Eyeshadow {Sable}

"Sabel" by MAC has been an eyeshadow that I have been using almost every day this month either on it's own as a one wash type of thing or on the outer corner of the eye. This shade goes with all the shadows I own and I just really like it because it's so versatile.

February Favourites 2014

Another month has flown by so quickly! I spent February getting prepared for uni by shopping my lil heart out for stationary I don't even need and sorting out my class timetable. Last Monday was my first day back at uni and I still feel overwhelmed with everything so I will try to post as much as I can but school comes first. Anywho! I have tried some new products this month as well as rediscovering old favourites that got pushed aside because of the shiny new things.

Benefit CORALista Blush
I mentioned this coral blush in another favourites post but I just can't get enough of it. It's the perfect shade for summer and it gives a nice colour to the face.

Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque
This hair mask is something new for me this month and it has already become one of my favourite hair masks of all time. I kept eyeing it at the shops and then I just decided to splurge {I kept telling myself "for the HAIIRRRR"}. It does such a great job at making my hair so soft and smell so good!

Urban Decay Naked Basics
This little eyeshadow palette is the cutest and most nifty palette I own! The colours of the shadows are so versatile to create any basic look and are so creamy and easy to blend. What I like about it is the size because it doesn't take up any room when you travel.

The Body Shop's Born Lippy
I absolutely LOVE this lip balm. Whenever I have chapped lips, this baby is the answer to my prayers. The texture is so smooth and not sticky whatsoever and it just makes my lips unbelievably smooth. I can't rave about this enough, It's honestly my holy grail lip balm.

Maybelline Color Whisper {Lust for Blush}
If you have read my blog before, you would know how much I love the Maybelline Color Whispers. This month I have been gravitating towards the shade "Lust for Blush" as it's a soft, subtle pink which is very unlike me to pick up but I gave it a go and I'm really loving it.

Covergirl Clump Crusher by Lashblast
I have seen many bloggers rave about this mascara and I'm about to do the same. This mascara somehow magically separate all my criss-cross lashes and makes them look longer and adds a little volume. Love love love!

January Favourites 2014

Can you believe that one whole month of the year is gone?! ONE WHOLE MONTH! January went too quick for my liking and now here I am picking out some of the beauty products that I have been giving extra love to this month.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I bought this ages ago but never really found the need to use it but I rediscovered it in January and it is a life saver. The weather has been all over the place with a lot of hot and muggy days and I find that in the morning my hair looks a bit gross so I use this dry shampoo to make my hair look fresh and it adds a little bit of volume which is great. I think it smells really good - nice and clean and there are a whole bunch of different fragrances to suit everyone.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Serum

I use the tiniest amount on the ends of my hair after I have washed it so it reduces the amount of fly-aways and frizz when it's drying. I think it does a pretty good job at keeping my hair tame and I use it alongside with the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Shampoo and Conditioner and I think it works like a charm.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Even though in nearly every January Favourites post the Naked 3 Palette has made an appearance, I decided to go with the original because I bought it in January and have been loving it ever since. You can create so many different types of natural to sultry, sophisticated looks. Love, love, love it!

NYX Powder Blush

This blush is in the shade "Dusty Rose" and I really like this blush because it's not overpowering on my cheeks. I think it lasts a pretty long time and it's a really nice natural colour. I like the soft texture it has and I think I might get another colour from the range soon. Which one would you recommend?

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter

I have been obsessed with this Lip Butter from Revlon in the shade "Tutti Fruitti". I have been wearing this a lot in January because it's such a lovely bright summery shade. Although the lip butter feels heavy on the lips, it lasts a long time which is what I like in a balmy type lip colour.

Some simple goals

Being the beginning of the year and it fresh on my mind, I thought I would set myself some simple goals. It's nothing too serious just a few things that I want to take control of and something to keep my brain from turning into mush.

Post more on my blog: I do love my blog but at the moment I feel like I'm not posting as much as I would like to. I just dilly-dally around and never get anything done. I have so many things to show you guys and this year I'm going to post as much as I can and give it my absolute all because I have so much fun taking photos and writing up posts.

Read more: I have loved reading ever since I was little but I stopped when I was in high school because I had to read the books for english which made reading less enjoyable for me. So now that I've been off school for a while, I slowly got back into reading and this year I want to read at least 5 books!

Be more adventurous: I don't know what it is but I don't like to try anything new or go somewhere that I've never been before. I like to stick to what I know but this year I want to explore my city more, go out more often and dine at new restaurants and cafes with my friends.

Save my pennies: A simple goal that's easier said than done because I like to buy things too often. This year I want to save as much money as I can and really think about the things I think I need and want in my life.

Lead a healthier lifestyle: I think everyone's in the same boat as me with this one but I want to start eating healthier and exercising more. I even bought some snazzy new workout clothes and shoes that I'm so excited about.

What are your simple goals for 2014?
