March favourites

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone had a lovely month of March. I'm here today with my March favourites, hope you enjoy.

I have a few beauty products that I've really been enjoying using this month.

My first favourites are the body washes from Body Shop. I have them in Satsuma and Blueberry. They're really lovely fresh washes and smell absolutely incredible. They retail at £4.00 and come in so many delicious flavours.



A next favourite of mine is a hair product I used. I dye my hair quite frequently but really wanted to go super blonde but not quite platinum. So I picked up the Garnier Nutrisse Truly Blonde Super Lightener. It was easy to apply and lightened my hair more than any other colorant. It was inexpensive so will be definitely buying again when I need to lighten my hair again.



I've also really been loving my current fondation. I mentioned this in my beauty haul and it's the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. This is my holy grail foundation. It applies beautifully, smooths out all my imperfections and covers spots and most importantly stays all day. This foundation is amazing and I urge you to go out and buy it! 



MAC is one of my favourite make up brands and I'm in love with my paint pot in Painterly. It conceals veins and gives a lovely smooth canvas on the lid. It provides a great base for eyeshadows but I've really been loving wearing it alone as it's a brown/natural/greyish colour that's so easy to wear.



My last favourite isn't a product but it is a favourite that I love to experiment with. I cannot not go out without doing my eyebrows. I think they frame your face and make you look so alive and awake. I give my eyebrows a big arch and really darken them and I love how it looks. Secondly, I've really been loving wearing false lashes on a night out. They really open your eyes and add glamour.

Now I thought I would include some random favourites!


My TV favourite of the month has to be (don't judge) Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. I've watched all 3 seasons and I love it. It's not everyones cup of tea but it's great, funny TV. My all time favourite show though has to be Criminal Minds. It's honestly the best show I've ever watched. It's full of suspense, drama and the cast are amazing. I can watch like 10 episodes straight and not get bored, that's how much I love this show.

My movie favourite is the Terminator movie series. Me and my boyfriend watched all 4 and I really enjoyed them. I do like action films and these are definitely full of action. I would recommend watching these films.

As for my favourite songs, I really enjoy finding new music that many people don't listen to. I like to use the Shazam app if I hear a song I like the sound of and want to know what it is and I use SoundCloud as well. However, I've really been liking listening to The 1975 throughout the month of March. With this nice weather starting to happening, it's nice listening to summery happy music.
I also listen to the radio a lot more now as I'm in my car a lot with my job now so I nearly always have Radio 1 on.

So there you have my March favourites! I really hope you enjoyed reading this and I'll start to do this monthly so keep an eye out on the blog!
