It has been a long time since I have done a favorites post but I wanted to run through a few of my favorite things for last month. Some of these products I have been using for months and some are new to me within the month of March (with some received through working with PR). Without further adieu…
Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water is amazing. This is actually my 2nd bottle of the amazing cleanser and I have a third bottle waiting in the wings. It is a nice super gentle liquid cleanser that is as mild as water but removes makeup with extreme ease. My favorite use for this is to put some on a cotton swab and then remove the excess mascara from around my eyes. No matter how well I clean my face I always am left with raccoon eyes and I hate to tug too much on that area, so this product is PERFECT for that.
Dior Lip Polish Smoothing Lacquer has been my go-to lip gloss since the day I bought it. I love that the wand on it spins and I actually really love the moisturizing formula. The glossy finish is gorgeous!
IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation has been a go to product for me all month. I am nearing the end of my pregnancy with just a little over a month left to go and I have been very lazy with my makeup. I have been slapping on as little as I can get away with and out the door I go. That being said, I have not had to compromise my complexion at all because this foundation is amazing. Paired with the brush that came with it in the Hello, Beautiful kit, this foundation buffs into the skin nicely and can be built up into a medium-full coverage. I didn’t expect a powder to look so flawless and un”powdery” but I am very pleased with it.
Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour in Platinum has been a favorite of mine for over a year. It is a nice neutral shade to wear on it’s own and as a base. I have been using it both ways lately… and before the last few months I would have used this over a primer but in my laziness I have realized how awesome this creme shadow is on it’s own so it has turned INTO my go-to primer as well.
It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Primer is another new product for March but it QUICKLY found it’s way into my heart and daily routine. If there is one thing I love it’s the look of long luscious lashes and this mascara primer surely delivers. It does such a great job that I HAVE actually worn this on it’s own. Obviously it is meant to be topped off with a real mascara and when you do WOW! This is something I don’t ever want to be without.
NYC Big Bold Curl Mascara is a surprise favorite for the month. I have had it for a month but I am kind of overloaded with great mascaras at the moment so I am always trying to put mascaras back until I actually have a need of opening one. Well I finally broke this one out at the beginning of the month and my first thought was “HOLY MOLEY! That wand is huge!” It is one of the fattest, most over-sized brushes I have ever seen in my life but it makes the prettiest, flirty, fluffy looking lashes! The price point is really affordable and it acts like a much more expensive shadow. How impressive!
Overall, I have had some great luck with makeup in all of my lazy glory. All of these products are no fuss but really pack a punch. Some of these things I received through working with PR and some I purchased myself but all of them are loved equally. I am hoping that I get a boost of energy sometime soon because I would love to see what these products can do if I actually put a bit more effort into my daily face! :)
