March Favourites
Like last few months March
seems to have flown by. I loved the change of season this month even if the
weather seems to be forgetting how to complete the whole change element this
month. Spring/Summer 2013 trends are full of corals, nudes and light delicate
shades combined with natural beauty. I just love browsing all new products and
trying one or two. So this month my favourites have been some oldies and some
newbie’s which I am now going to share with you.
1. Rituals Shower Foam in Rice Milk and Cherry
Blossom
£ 7.00 or €10 200ml
This shower foam is from the sensations collection. I was
first introduced to the whole Rituals brand of products after receiving a trial
size body lotion in a recent Glossy Box and now I am addicted. I have gone on
to purchase a number of different products (all which I will review and share
my experiences as I use them). This shower foam is really great value for money
as it the foam pump allocates just enough of the luxurious foam and contact
with water turns it in soft relaxing foam. The rice milk is said to leave the
skin really soft while the cherry blossom acts as a cleanser. My skin is definitely enjoying the experience
and I will be repurchasing this product.

2. . Barry M Gel Like High Shine Polish In Lychee
£3.99
or €4.99
I
have always been a massive fan of nude nail polish so you can imagine my
excitement when the turn of the seasons brought with it an influx of nude
polishes. I have a few favourites but the forerunner in my favourite’s league
is definitely Lychee by Barry M. The Hi Shine Gel range is very impressive. It
aims to give a gel like finish and is long wearing and both of these are true.
It dries really fast and has a really great shine. This shade is perfect for my
skin tone. It is a nude shade that is light and fresh and compliments tanned
skin or tan free skin (I have tried both). This polish is also a perfect base
for nail art or a simple nail jewel or two. I have a few different shades from
this collection and I like them all. My
must have nail polish for the coming months.

3. Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
£7.99
or €11.50
I
am certainly not the first to love Revlon’s Lip Butter and am sure the fan base
for this product will continue to grow.
I have tried a few of shades but at the moment I love Peach Parfait. Lip
butter’s are exactly as described they are soft buttery colour burst for the
lips. They condition and colour and leave a hint of shine and glamour all at
the same time. This shade, peach parfait, is a natural almost nude colour with
peach tones and gold flecks. This shade adds a glow to your lips and for me is
the perfect summer shade. The only problem I have like so many others is that
it does not last a very long time and needs reapplying.

4. They’re Real Mascara by Benefit
£18.50
or €23
I
absolutely love mascara and I absolutely love this mascara. It is dark, long
lasting and gives what only can be described as amazing eyelashes. The wand is
plastic which I know some people do not like but I have to say it works
wonders. It has a tiny application spikes on the top which allows you to apply
the mascara to even the shortest of eyelashes. It is a little expensive as
mascara’s go but in my opinion it is defiantly worth the spends. I have tried a
lot of mascara’s and I am sure I will continue to try new products but I feel
at the moment this product will be hard beaten.

5.
Cloud Nine The Wide Iron
£109.95 or €120 (with discount for
bringing in an old electrical appliance)
Recently
I have had to purchase a new hair iron. I originally had a GHD which had lasted
me well over 5 years and I was really happy with it. Due to use, age and wear
and tear my iron needed replacing. As I was really happy with my GHD I simply
just repurchased. However my experience was less then satisfying. I found the
new hair iron simply did not straighten my hair. I would straighten it and
within a couple of hours my hair was mess. Long story short I returned my item.
On research I decided on a Cloud Nine Wide Irons. End result I absolutely love
it. This iron works perfectly. It straightens my hair, ads shine, can be used
to add a kink or wave to my hair. The wide iron plates mean you only have to
run the iron once or twice through the hair to achieve the desired look (I have
long bouncy hair). It has a number of different tempeture settings, comes with
a heat mat and has a protective cap. I am extremely happy with my purchase and
would recommend highly. I am now saving to treat myself to another Cloud Nice
Product – The Wand.
March Products That Disappointed Me !!!
TIGI S-Factor True Lasting Colour Shampoo
and Conditioner
£20 or €25 for Shampoo and Conditioner
200ml set
I was recommended to use these products and
had to try them out. Unfortunately I was disappointed! The products are rich
and this may have been part of the problem for me as the products were a little
too rich. The result was my hair was left a little weighed down. This meant
that my hair had to be washed more often. I also found that the shape of the
bottles meant that it was so difficult to squeeze the product out and either
too much came out too fast or it took an age to get it out. Over all I did not
like these products.
There you have it my fav's for March.
