March most worn

Falling in love with bright lips and bronze shades on the eyes all over again. I tossed alot of my expired products, this is what i do every spring as it feels great to renew your makeup stash and also your wardrobe. Here is what i have been enjoying this month, good staples.

  • Korres japanese rose showergel. I love everything about it. The scent is divine, lathers extremely well and on top of all that it leaves my skin silky smooth which rarely happens with other body washes. It's free of alot of bad chemicals too, so thumbs up for Korres.
  • MAC moisturecover concealer. I love this one because it's easy to move around and it doesn't look very cakey like MAC studio finish concealer. I use it under the eyes and buff it on my face where i need some extra coverage.
  • MAC #224 brush. I don't think i could ever live without this brush anymore. I found a new use out if it, when I realised it's not that great for crease work and that I much prefer the #227 for blending. Thank god for pixiwoo, now i use this to buff my concealer under the eyes and on my face, which leaves an airbrush finish.
  • MAC tan pigment. Perfect warm colour, great for an everyday look. Paired with melon pigment it's my definition of a summery eye makeup look.
  • Stila kajal eye liner- tiger's eye. Lovely warm brown that makes brown eyes stand out. Most MAC liners smudge on me within 20 minutes, but this one isn't even waterproof and stays put all day on the waterline and doesn't settle in my crease on the eyelid. I highly recommend this product.
  • Toleriane foundation. This is one of my favourite foundations and you do not even need powder with this one because the coverage is good. It's oil-free and great for sensitive acne prone skin. It leaves a semi matte/satin finish on the skin and has an SPF of 25. If you have sensitive skin and you think that vichy dermablend is a bit too thick, try this one.
  • Revlon gloss #180. I admit that i usually do not buy alot of drugstore brands, reason being that where I am drugstore is as much as expensive as high end brands. Luckily, one of my friends gave me this gloss because she hated the colour.  Now I see why these are so hyped up everywhere. If you hate MAC sticky glosses and love the chanel ones, you will LOVE the consistency of these, especially if you are in the US and can get them for pretty cheap, i recommend them, silky smooth and feel like a balm and overall a pleasure to apply and they last very well on the lips fading to a nice stain. ( I also have a nude one, but I have used this one more). I consider this one a dupe of Chanel lazer.
Onto clothes! Since the weather has been on and off, this Juicy Couture jacket is the one i wore everyday. It's an aviator type jacket but in a cotton material. (wearing a Zara tunic underneath)

What are your favourites for March? I love reading these kind of posts!

  2. I've been eyeing off the Revlon gloss lately, but in Australia they're pretty pricy too and I haven't wanted to pay almost $30 for a drugstore gloss. Maybe if I see them on sale I'll give them a try.

  3. I've been dying to try out KORRES as a brand I just ordered one of their lipsticks from eBay in Coral I can't wait to try it out. I'm eyeing their face sun protector from the watermelon range and their blushes look really pretty too.

  15. This is a great post. So many things I see I want to try out! I have Mac Melon pigment but I think Tan is the color I would love for the Summer. Also interested in the Stila eye pencil and the lipgloss. I never even thought of trying to use a brown eyeliner for brown eyes. Always used black. Wished we carried that foundation over here. I would try that as well.
