MY MARCH FAVOURITES.

As a woman, and especially as a woman who runs a beauty blog, it's kind of a given that my collection of 'favourite' products changes from time to time. Whether it's makeup, skincare or what I use to relax in the bath, every now and again, I discover something new, or rekindle an old romance with a certain product. So, for this blog post, I thought I would share with you all of my favourites from March. I hope you enjoy!

Skincare Favourites

As I said earlier, skincare, like makeup, is something that I like to switch up every now and again. Naturally, there are a permanent selection of staples that never leave my wash bag, but this is all about the products I am specifically loving right at this very moment.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel

In March, I reignited my love affair with the amazing La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel. I had been using the Elemis Tri-Enzyme Resufacing Wash since before Christmas and I was just so pleased with the results that I didn't want to swap it out of my routine. However, when I saw that a bunch of the La Roche Posay products were on offer in Boots at a very good price, I simply couldn't resist.

I bought the large, pump-action bottle, so needless to say, there is still tons of product left to use - yay! What I love about this face wash is the way that it leaves my skin looking and feeling afterwards. I let this wash sit on my face for a couple of minutes before rinsing away, and by doing this, the product works its magic even more intensely. Not only does this wash cleanse the skin, it exfoliates it, too, sloughing away grime, dead skin cells and spot-causing bacteria quicker than you can say 'perfect skin'. For those that love to feel a tingle with their skincare products (I certainly do), this one is an absolute must-have. You can feel it doing its thing from the moment it makes contact with your skin. It's fabulous, and it's going nowhere.

No7 Microdermabrasion Exfoliator

I don't even know where to start with this product...I mean, it's just amazing. Since reinvesting a few weeks ago, I've been asking myself constantly why I ever stopped using it in the first place. It's just incredible - and it's so affordable. I'm really, really picky when it comes to face scrubs and exfoliators - it's just so easy to go overboard when exfoliating (and believe me, I've had my fair share of disasters), but this product is such a safe bet. The exfoliating beads are tiny, but there are tons of them and they work in a magical way that just reawakens and resurfaces the skin completely. Wave goodbye to unsightly lumps and bumps and get ready fall back in love with your complexion. This product is one of those that I genuinely can't say enough great things about. For best results, I use 2-3 times a week to help maintain my fresh, youthful glow.

Go on, give it a try!

Clarins Lotus Oil

let me begin by saying I absolutely love this product. The idea of applying an oil to the face can be a terrifying concept, especially if you already have oily or acne-prone skin, but trust me, this product is a serious game changer. Aside from smelling incredible, this product also happens to be a little miracle in a bottle. Just 2-3 drops applied morning and night will help keep your skin clear, fresh and fabulous. The Clarins Lotus Oil actually prevents the skin from producing excess oil, stopping breakouts in their tracks and leaving you with the one thing you've been dreaming of - enviably gorgeous skin. I particularly love the way this product feels on my skin after exfoliating - it just sinks right into my pores leaving me with the smoothest ever complexion. It's a 10/10 from me.

Makeup and Cosmetics

NYX Suede Matte Lip Liner in Shade 'Softly Spoken'

I mentioned this product in my last post, but it really is one of my absolute favourites from the month of March, so I simply had to feature it again. I've been faithful to my trusty MAC Whirl liner for years and years and years, but now I've discovered this little baby, those days are over - and with zero regrets. This lip liner is the most incredible dupe of MAC Whirl I have ever tried, and the staying power is just as good. I still can't believe that this liner cost me just £4. I'll be forever thankful for the fact I swatched this on my last trip to Boots. Major game-changer alert!

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in Shade 'NC15'

I've been using the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer for such a long time now, but I recently changed the shade that I use, and I'm so glad that I did! I use my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer to brighten my complexion and illuminate the areas of my face that I want to highlight, so I decided to go a shade lighter - and it was a great decision to make! I've only gone one shade lighter, but it's made such a different to how my makeup looks. My eyes just pop now and everything glows so much more radiantly. I'm loving this product, and my decision to switch it up with the shade has definitely paid off. Result.

Bath and Body

Palmer's Cocoa Butter

This product may be an oldie, but it's also a serious goodie. Palmer's is one of my favourite ever body care brands, and there's just nothing quite like their amazing Cocoa Butter! I apply my Palmer's Cocoa Butter every morning after showering, and just before bed to give my skin that extra surge of moisture whilst I sleep. This product leaves my skin feeling smooth and supple, with the added bonus that it smells absolutely delicious! If I had one too many prosecco's, I might be a little too tempted to eat it!

Radox Bubble Bath

Let's have it right, who doesn't love a good old Radox bath?! Nothing relaxes me more than a long, hot soak in the bath, and Radox is definitely my favourite bubble bath brand at the moment. Not only are Radox bath products majorly affordable, there are tons of flavours available. 

So there you have it, my ultimate March Favourites list! I really hope you enjoyed this blog post and can't wait to share more with you soon.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your long Easter weekend in style!

Lots of love,
