March Favorites

There goes March.... and you guys know the drill! Here's the roundup of the things I've been loving in the month of March!

BEAUTY

FREEMAN FEELING BEAUTIFUL AVOCADO AND OATMEAL CLAY MASK
Let's start off with the only skin care item for this month. If you have seen my recent haul video, then you must already know how I feel about this product! Reasons why I love this: 1. It's very affordable 2. It shrinks my pores 3. Balances my facial oils 4. Leaves my skin feeling soft 5. Smells so good and lastly, 6. I get to pretend I'm the mask when I have this on. 😂

IT COSMETICS YOUR SKIN BUT BETTER CC+ CREAM
Since I am still tan, this is the only product I've been using as my foundation. I love it because it gives me full coverage without feeling too heavy/cakey. The only thing I don't like though is the fact that I have to mix two shades to get the right shade for me. I always end up pumping out too much. 

IT COSMETICS BROW POWER UNIVERSAL PENCIL
Even though I'm such a fan of ColourPop products, I must say that their brow products are not as great as IT COSMETICS' brow pencil. I love Brow Power because it's right amount of stiffness for the desired color payoff, yet it's very easy to blend out with a spooley for that natural effect. And I find that it's easier to fill in my brows using this than the ColourPop brow pencils. But of course, you can't beat ColourPop's affordable price:
Brow Power- $24  ||  ColourPop Brow Pencil - $5

IT COSMETICS SUPERHERO MASCARA
All I can say about this mascara is that it's LOVE AT FIRST USE and I'll keep using this until I find something better!

IT COSMETICS BYE BYE UNDER EYE
There's a reason why this is a cult favorite in the YouTube world because this concealer is really great! It's full coverage, meaning this will cover up even the nastiest of pimples! And although it has a thick formula, this doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the face. I highly recommend this product. 

RCMA NO COLOR POWDER
I now see what the hype is all about. This indeed is a really great loose powder. For $12 you get 3oz. of product. That's like 3 times more powder than the loose powders in the market. This isn't drying on the face and it won't cause flashback. They say that the RCMA No Color Powder is a great dupe for the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, but don't expect it to brighten up the under eye area, because I noticed that it doesn't have brightening capabilities. Full review and demo is coming soon. 

ULTA CONTOUR KIT
This contour kit is great for people who have a tan like me. If you are pale, this won't be a good contour kit because of all the warm tones of the contour shades. I find that this really compliments my tan right now and I've noticed that my face looks "chiseled" after I started using this contour kit. If you are caught up with my YouTube videos, you've probably seen me use this a couple times already. 

COLOURPOP HIGHLIGHTER - SMOKE N WHISTLES
People who talked about this product are right! THIS HIGHLIGHTER IS AMAZING! It's very iridescent and it just looks so gorgeous on the cheeks! I used this in my Everyday Spring Makeup look and it looked so beautiful! I've been told that I looked so glowy when I used this too so should I say more? YOU NEED THIS GIRL! 

SIGMA SPA EXPRESS BRUSH CLEANING GLOVE
I was so excited when I received this in my Sigma Affiliate package because I've seen so many great reviews on their brush cleaning mat. I tried this out and it worked really great!!! It really helped me deep clean my brushes and I like that it is reversible. So one side is for face brushes, and the other side is for eye brushes. It's easy to use, made my life easier and it's easy to store because it is the size of your hand. And if you want to try this product out, use the code SIGMA2016 so you can get 10% off. :)

OTHER FAVES.

COLOURPOP BOXES 💙 💜
Am I crazy for feeling more excited about the boxes now, rather than their products? 😂  When you purchase a lot of things from ColourPop, they will put your items in a box, but it's not just any kind of box. It's a pretty box once you fold it inside out, and you can actually use it as a container!
A tutorial on how I made these boxes will be up soon! I'm so excited to show you guys the video! 💜  Also, I finally found a way to store my ColourPop liquid lipsticks without mixing the Ultra Mattes with the Ultra Satin ones. See photo #2.

ONE PUNCH MAN
I finally got around to watching this show and OMG, this show is so hilarious! It's basically about this hero who beats his opponents with just one punch. That's all I'm giving away. You should check this show out. SO GOOD! Now I'm just waiting for season 2. I can read the manga, but I'm just not that kinda girl HAHA.

• Some of the photos from Easter Sunday. I will be blogging about it soon! :) I miss doing outfit posts here! Maybe I should start again, now that the weather's warming up but I don't have new clothes. 😭  Also, I left almost my entire wardrobe in Canada. You know how girls say, "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR"? That is me, literally. 😅
