March Favourites

March Favourites Bourjois Vichy Vivo

I’ve tried lots of new products this month, and most of them have worked pretty well for me. I‘ve ditched a lot of products that just weren’t doing anything for and I’ve cancelled all my beauty box subscriptions! I’m trying to stick to the brands that are working for me, and I’ve got a lot of reviews coming up soon!

Vivo Brow Kit (£5.00 ~ Tesco) I don’t think I could sing this products praises enough, for the money it’s brilliant and I will not be trying any other brow powders. I am currently using both the cool dark shade to fill in my brows, and the pale shade to add texture. They work great wet or dry, and I love applying them with my Japonesque Angled Brow Brush.

Avene Cleanance K (£10.50 ~ Boots/Escentual.com) Cleanance K is an exfoliating gel, that uses AHA’s and BHA’s to exfoliate the skin. I use this once a day, usually at night, and after using this for about 3 weeks, my skin is a lot clearer. I currently only have one blemish, which is pretty much unheard of. This is helping slightly in getting rid of the acne scarring left from previous breakouts, but it is still my main skin concern.

Vichy Normaderm Micellar Solution (£11.50 ~ Boots) I love this for removing make up. It’s so quick, and perfect for when I get home from work and just want to wipe away the day!

Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti Breakage Serum (£5.99 ~ Boots) This is silicone free, and makes my hair feel really soft and healthy. I apply it to ends everyday, and have also mixed it with conditioner for an intensive treatment. It’s such good value (especially when compared to other hair oils) and smells amazing!

Maybelline Color Tattoo On and On Bronze (£4.99  ~ Superdrug) I use this as a base for my Naked Palette, and it works brilliant for me.I have had no problems with creasing. The colour is so beautiful.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation (£10.99 ~ Boots/Superdrug)  I’ve been enjoying using this gel foundation, it’s so easy to blend and lasts really well on my skin. I could live without the scent, but the finish and longevity still make it a favourite.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (£31.00 Boots) A very expensive favourite, but another gorgeous foundation if you want to splurge! Great for oily skin, as it’s water based, and not at all heavy.

What are your favourites this month?

  5. Lovely favorites!

    Ahh I hate to say this- I feel like the makeup gods might strike me if I say something bad about Vitalumiere Aqua haha but I have such a love/hate relationship with that foundation. I love the finish & look on my skin, but it just does not last for me. Half way through the day, my foundation has already vanished from my nose/t-zone, even with primer & powder! I'm considering trying out Mat Lumiere and see if that works better for me.

  6. i need the Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti Breakage Serum in my life and that is all. For me, the minimum requirement of a hair product is that it smells nice. I am scared to try all the argan stuff because i bought a shampoo containing argan ages ago, even before i heard of moroccanoil and it absolutely stank and that has put me off even trying. coconut however? hell yeah. thanks for the suggestion x

  7. I love the smell of this Bourjois foundation, it was what attracted me to it in the first place :p I do understand that it can be quite irritating to some people. But I really like its texture and finish too

  8. What a great collection of favorites. I personally love the Avene Cleanance K. It leaves my face feeling oh so fresh and clean. I started using the Bourjois foundation as well. Both of them are a vital part of my new skincare/make-up routine. I recently came across a website called facialmap.com and it is truly amazing. It it the most important part of my make-up routine now.
