March 2014 Beauty Favorites

Makeup

Inglot Shadow #318: I've loved this shadow for months, but it has just never made it into a favorites post! I love all my Inglot shadows, but this matte white is one of my favorites. It's just pigmented enough without being stark white. I like to use this in my inner corners or even all over the lid.
L'Oreal Infallible Shadows: I have three shades of the Infallible shadows (Iced Latte, Amber Rush & Liquid Diamond) and love all three. The shadows are so smooth and pigmented and look almost metallic thanks to the fact that they are in pressed pigment form.
Benefit They're Real Mascara (Deluxe Size): I've been using this mascara on and off for a while now, and really started loving it again at the end of the month. It just makes the lashes look amazing!
Coastal Scents Classic Blender Crease Synthetic Brush: I've been using this brush to apply and blend my crease color constantly since I got it! The brush does a great job applying matte shadows to the crease in a more precise way than many of my other blending brushes.
Maybelline Barely Branded Color Tattoo: This color is just gorgeous on the lids and I have gotten a lot of use out of it, not just in March but every month. It's subtle enough, but really brightens up the lid and makes your eyes pop.
Elf Eyelid Primer: I've actually had this primer for quite some time, but have started using it on a daily basis this month. It has a very creamy and smooth formula and doesn't only extend the wear of shadows, but covers up discoloration or veins on the lids.
L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering Liner: I have been loving using this liner for lining my waterline and tightline. The large tip makes it easy to get into the water and tight line without touching your eye and the drier formula helps it last much longer than other black liners.

Nails & More

Julie G Birthday Suit: I finally got to try a Julie G polish this month and adored the color. Birthday Suit is a pastel peachy pink that looks super feminine on the nails.
Illamasqua Harem: I bought this polish last June and never wanted to wear it because it is quite pricy for a nail polish. I finally wore Harem this month and I just love the color. It's a bright purple-pink that is unlike any other polish I've seen.
Zoya Charisma: This bright color is super pretty and I will definitley be wearing it again in the summer. I don't like purple nail polish, but this one is more magenta and I love that it's neon!
Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion: Now that we are getting into the warmer months, I've needed to start fake tanning. As you can see in any of my makeup or nail polish swatches, I am quite fair and I just don't tan in the sun. I like this tanning lotion because as long as you don't use too much, it looks quite natural and rarely leaves a streaky appearance. I like to mix one part of this lotion with one part normal lotion to make sure the tan doesn't look fake.
Lush American Cream Conditioner: I wasn't sure if I was going to include this or not because it's sort of a love-hate product. This conditioner smells amazing and the smell stays in your hair for about two whole days, I promise I'm not exaggerating. However, the smell is all I like. The conditioner is quite thin and doesn't really moisturize my hair, but I use it after my other conditioner just to make my hair smells good. I also don't like this product because it is very overpriced!

Makeup & Nails

Picture
Orly Peaceful Opposition - This polish is super unique and gorgeous! It's a milky sheer white base that is packed with silver hexes.
Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation in Light Ivory - I have been loving this foundation ever since I got it. It covers my acne and redness very well and blends out super evenly. Plus, the shade light ivory is a perfect match for my skin.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Stellar - I do feel a little bad for mentioning this blush since it was a part of a limited edition holiday 2012 set, but I have really been loving it this month. It's a bronze pink blush that looks so pretty and natural on the cheeks and has nice staying power.
Zoya Dream - I've been wanting this gorgeous color ever since it came out at the end of last year and finally got it. It's a royal blue jelly polish filled with holographic glitter and it looks stunning on the nails.
bareMinerals Ready Foundation in Medium - I got this foundation for Christmas and have really used it a lot in February. It has great coverage and you can't even tell that you are wearing anything on your face because it doesn't appear cakey or powdery.
Coastal Scents Flat Buffer Brush - This brush works great with the bareMinerals foundation. It applies the perfect amount of any powder product and is the softest brush I have ever used.
Maybelline The Rocket Mascara - I'll admit, when I first got this mascara I wasn't a huge fan and didn't get the hype. But now that I've been using it a couple months, it has dried out a bit and works great on my lashes. It makes it look like I have a lot of lashes and also thickens and adds volume.
Maybelline Clear Great Lash Mascara - I've been using this as my brow gel since my Elf brow gel ran out and it really is a great product. Not only is it inexpensive, but it holds my brows in place all day without looking or feeling crunchy or hard.
Jordana Fabuliner in Black - You may already know that I am a fan of this liner in brown, but I finally tracked down the black shade and have been using it bunches. It effortlessly creates a smooth, pigmented black line and makes liner quick and simple.

Food & Drink

Marshmallow Crispy Oreo - Oreo came out with two limited edition flavors at the beginning of February, marshmallow crispy and cookie dough. I'm not the biggest fan of the cookie dough kind, it tastes much more like coffee than cookie dough. However, the marshmallow crispy Oreos are delicious! They are golden Oreos with a marshmallow-cream center that has little rice krispie bits throughout. 
Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker - Egg McMuffins from McDonald's are one of my favorite breakfast foods and I was so happy to get a machine that makes them! They don't taste as good as the original, but the machine makes them quick and easy and the machine is also very easy to clean.
