MARCH 2016 BEAUTY FAVOURITES

March 31, 2016 in BEAUTY, Uncategorized

March 2016 Beauty Favourites

It’s a jam-packed beauty favourites this month as I’ve been using and loving so many different products. I am so pleased to have found the first floral perfume I can wear without getting a migraine and, speaking of headaches, I’ve found a great helper for mine that’s not painkillers! There’s also an unusual but wonderful makeup primer hack in there too.

I’m forever having to explain to people that I’m allergic to perfume as everything except from The Body Shop’s Coconut and Strawberry fragrances give me an instant migraine. I can’t even walk through a Duty Free! However, thanks to The Body Shop again, I have found a floral-based scent that I love. Their British Rose Eau de Toilette (£19 from The Body Shop) is a really fresh and light scent that’s not heady at all. It’s a new release from them and reminds me of the old-school The Body Shop scents from my teenage years. I love it and it looks really pretty too.

Another product I’ve been really enjoying using throughout March is a new product from Elizabeth Arden that is an expansion to their cult Eight Hour Cream range. The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil* (£29 from Elizabeth Arden) can be used on your face, body and hair. I only use it on my body and I find it so moisturising and hydrating. It’s not greasy and it absorbs easily into the skin. The oil is really light and scentless, and it comes in a handy pump spray bottle.

Tazeka Headache Helper

Onto my headache helper, the Tazeka Aromatherapy Headache Helper Roll-on Remedy (£25.50 from myshowcase) is a oil roller ball that you apply to your neck and temples. It has a sharp and zesty scent that contains cornmint, spike lavender, frankincense and ho wood to lift pressure. I don’t know how it works, but I’m guessing it opens up your sinuses and calms you down. I find that if I use this right at the start of a headache, when I can feel it looming, it stops it in its tracks. It’sdefinitely worth a try if you are a regular sufferer.

Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel

Benefit’s The POREfessional Matte Rescue (£21.50 from Benefit Cosmetics) is a light, refreshing and absorbent gel that gets rid of shine (but doesn’t look unnaturally matte) and hides the appearance of pores. It’s water-based and contains pore-blurring diamond powder. Whilst I have dry skin, I do get shiny patches and this takes care of those perfectly as well as really disguising the pores on my nose and cheeks. I find this a great alternative to the heavier and more silicone-textured POREfessional Primer, so if you don’t like the feeling of that, you need to try this.

Onto another primer I’ve been loving- Lotil Original Cream (£2.87 from Boots) has started to gain a reputation as being a great makeup primer as its packed with glycerin. It’s actually a thick antibacterial cream for dry skin (a bit like Sudocrem), however when you apply it to your face and really rub it in, it makes the skin very soft and smooth and has a firming effect. It makes a really good base for makeup and helps mine to look more flawless and stay put for longer.

The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain in Vineyard Peach

The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain in Vineyard Peach Swatch

Another great new product from The Body Shop is their new Lip & Cheek Stain in Vineyard Peach (£12 from The Body Shop). It’s a lovely coral shade that is incredibly long-lasting, however the stain it leaves behind is a lot pinker in tone than the initial peach shade you see at first. It’s creamy, blends really nicely and is moisturising too as it contains honey and aloe vera. I love this both on my lips and cheeks (although not at the same time).

High Definition Illuminator

High Definition Illuminator Swatch

Finally, there’s a face powder I’ve been loving- the High Definition Illuminator in Champagne (£23.50 from HD Brows) is a very natural, light-diffusing and pearlescent powder that looks really nice dusted over the centre of the forehead, nose and cheeks for an all-over natural glow. It also has skincare benefits with the addition of antioxidents Vitamin C and E and moisturising Argan Oil.

Have you tried any of these yet?

Real skin, bare skin, #nofilterneeded - just a Hydrafacial treatment. I always have the best skin of my life after a Hydrafacial & I can never replicate the results myself at home. If you want to put your money towards any facial, this is the one where you’ll see a remarkable difference in your skin. It’s my favourite beauty treatment IN THE WORLD! ✨🥰

{Some PR Samples/UnpaidAD} A fabulous array of pro {Some PR Samples/UnpaidAD} A fabulous array of products for this week’s #friyayfaves post!
The new @biossance Squalane & Copper Pepid Rapid Plumping Serum is a real gem. This pale blue gel serum is insanely hydrating and my skin just drinks it in, leaving it looking plump & juicy. Great big bottle for a serum too. Another hydrating hero is the @freshbeauty Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner. It’s a cult favourite for a reason - delicious rose scent, floating petals and really puts some moisture back into your skin.
Talking big moisture (are you seeing the pattern here), the new @dermalogicauk Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist* really does hydrate and leave skin feeling so comfortable and soft. Seems a lot more powerful than other mists, which I think is the ceramides really fortifying my skin barrier to leave it lovely and happy.
The new serum from @lancomeofficial is incredible and more than worth its high price tag. In the Renergie HCF Triple Serum, 3 powerful active ingredients (Vitamin C, Niacinamide & Ferulic Acid) are kept unmixed, in their own chambers to keep their potency. Only at the point of pressing the pump do they mixed in your hand. So effective at improving skin texture and brightness. Deserves an array of awards!
To keep my laminated brows in place I’ve been relying on @eyebrowqueen Brow Fix for months now. They do not budge but they look very natural. This does make your brows crispy, but it doesn’t flake or rub off. I don’t mind the crispness as visually they look great, but some might not like this.
Finally, I’m so happy to have the @foreo_uk Iris eye device in my life, to massage any eye bags or puffiness away. Great to use over an eye cream. It’s so relaxing too!
🥰

Cannot get enough of the @goodhabitskin Water Jell Cannot get enough of the @goodhabitskin Water Jelly Dew Cream! It wibble wobbles like a jelly and has blue light protection! Hyaluronic acid locks moisture into skin to create a hydrated, plumper appearance, while a blend of 20% humectants draw water to the skin to keep it moisturised all day long.
