This month has been a roller coaster! I've had oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, I've gone bare skinned with just my eyebrows filled in, then I started the 100 Days of Makeup challenge... I've tried what's felt like a tonne of new products! Some I ended up loving to bits and others left me like... Wtf even is this? So these are my favourites (and one total flop) from March ^_^
Love, love, love this stuff, especially applied over a regular liquid foundation with a stippling brush.
It looks good, it feels good, and I feel fancy when I'm wearing it... What more can you ask for? XD
(Even on "no makeup, makeup days", a little bit of this applied to moisturised skin - or over something like Botanics Radiance Balm - with a kabuki brush, and you're good to go!)
Where has this been all my makeup wearing life?!?! No point going into too much detail because I already wrote about my brush cleaning routine, but I love this for spot cleaning my brushes between washes. I wouldn't rely on this alone for a deep cleanse, but for day-to-day use it's a total game changer.

When my husband bought me this palette for Christmas in 2014 I was so excited and loved it so much that I used it pretty much everyday for 6 months. I don't know how I'd forgotten about this, but I'm obsessing over it again! You get so many looks out of this palette, daytime, nighttime, subtle, dramatic... It's so versatile!
Let me start by saying that I did not go out and spend €44.00 on a single eyeshadow - I found mine in TKMaxx for €5.99!
I've honestly been trying to find ways to get to use this shadow everyday. I haven't tried anything else like it so, I can't think of anything to compare it to. Do I think it's worth nearly 50 odd quid? Probably shhnot! But if you can find it on offer or if you happen to stumble across them in the likes of TKMaxx, I'd say buy one of each colour (because I'm raging I didn't)...

I know these photos are absolute poo, but it's like 1 in the morning so... moving on!
Don't ask me why it's taken me so long to try an Urban Decay lipstick, I have no clue.
Now I look back at the last few months and ask myself "How much better would I have looked that one day if I had had this lipstick then?". Regret consumes me. No surprise, I love them. In my eyes Urban Decay can do no wrong! I'm planning on picking up another couple of the lipsticks and lipliners and then take actual decent photos and write up my thoughts on them properly then ^^ But so far: L O V E.
I was actually really impressed with this face wash. While theres nothing really "special" about it, my skin definitely feels cleaner after using this than it does after other washes, and I really like the smell and feeling of it on the skin, it feels minty, but doesn't sting or dry your face out or anything. Two thumbs up from me anyway!
FLOP! Ah lads, this stuff is just wrong. Hate the smell, hate the feeling, stings my eyelids and lips, and the way it sprays, ugh! Instead of a spritz or a mist it's like a slap in the face with a wet fish. It just saturates your face and no matter how far back I hold it I feel like my hair and clothes end up wet and gross too. I'm not going to finish the bottle, there's about half left and frankly, I wouldn't insult anybody by passing it on to them, so in the bin it'll go!
So there ya go!
Let me know if any of these happen to be your favourites too (or if you hate them?)! ;P
