Favourites: March 2016

ThisWorks Light Time Skin Plumper - £29 (Link)

I am a huge fan of the Light Time Cleanse & Glow from the same range and really wanted to try this skin plumper; I'm actually not sure if this should be used as a serum or moisturiser so I use this as my morning serum and it really does brighten and hydrate your complexion but isn't at all greasy so perfect under your makeup.

Starskin Red Carpet Ready Mask - £8.50 (Link)

This is just amazing; Sheet masks seem to have hit the mainstream and whilst there are definitely cheaper options on the market I don't think you'll find a better brand than Starskin, I have been so impressed with all the products i've tried so far and this hydrating mask is seriously THE best. When I apply this mask the next morning my skin is so incredibly soft, hydrated and plump; yes not one for everyday application but before a special occasion a must for me plus you can get it on ASOS so next day delivery for a skin care emergency. Also price in mind there is 30ml of serum infused within the mask so there's quite a bit in the pouch left over, I keep this and use it at the end of my skincare routine and leave overnight for a dose of hydration without the sheet, which does make the price a little less steep as you do get more than one application ... technically.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - £59.00 (Link)

I actually owned one of the lighting powders before and I didn't get along with it, I don't know if I had a random duffer but I just didn't like it; when you constantly hear YouTubers and Blogger whittle on and on about a product it gets stuck in your mind and you start thinking 'surely I was wrong, i'll repurchase and see if I like it now'. Turns out ... yeah I was wrong! They are lovely powders which give such an ethereal glow to the complexion and you don't look at all powdery, this palette is so useful as it's my face powder, highlighter and bronzer in one so I don't need to faff about with anything else!

Spectrum Flawless Finish C03 Brush - £8.99 (Link)

I received this in my January LookFantastic beauty box and to say I'm not normally a coloured brush fan (it's so unnecessary) I love this brush, I use it as my contour brush because of the tapered shape and it blends my contour beautifully as the hairs are so soft. I definitely am going to try more brushes from the range as they're great value, wash great and do the job! Mac Smack I say!

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Clueless- £11.96 (Link)

I love a liquid lipstick so I had to try the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip, turns out you can't get them in the UK unless you pay about twice the price and buy them off eBay ... Which I totally did because I have no patience. I decided on a neutral shade to try and went for Clueless which is a mauve pink shade, lets face it from the swatch (below) it is a totally Kylie Jenner shade, not a bad thing but not my norm. The formula is very matte (duh) but not drying and lasts a serious while on your lips. I will be purchasing some more shades so that is enough of an indication to say I really like this brand I just wish they'd ship to the UK. It's 2016 come on already!!

Model Co More Brows - £13.00 (Link)

Another LookFantastic beauty box discovery and one I wouldn't have ever made without it as I thought this brand was just a cheap throw away brand I had no idea this was £13.00 until I wrote this! I was thinking it was a really cheap Benefit Gimme Brow as it contains the hair fibres within a brow gel, formula wise it's a lot wetter but basically dries down the same and I get the same results so it's a £5 cheaper Gimme Brow if that tickles your fancy!
