March Beauty Favourites!

Hi everyone!
March is officially over *sob* but you can now rejoice at the fact my March Beauty Favourites is here! HURRAH!
March Beauty Favourites!
I have quite a few things that I've really been loving lately.
First thing's first - Skin!
I have rediscovered my Radical Skincare Exfoliating Pads. I used to use these over winter but I stopped using them for some reason and have now rediscovered these bad boys! I use these every morning and although they kinda sting when you use them and they cost a small fortune to buy them, I absolutely love them. They really refresh my skin and get rid of any nasty dead bits of skin which makes me happy. I'm easy pleased.
Next for skin is the Elemis Illuminating Flash Balm. I use this as a moisturiser on days when my skin is looking and feeling pretty dull. It adds a little bit of shine without feeling oily and really is the perfect base.
Last for skin is the Olay 2 in 1 Hydrate & Primer. Again, this is perfect for brightening up dull skin.  I apply this as a primer before applying my makeup, and it feels a little bit like applying an extra layer of skin. I'm all for that as long as it's calorie free. Har Har. Scoff Scoff.
Onto makeup! I am really loving the Nars Smooth Creamy Concealer. Anything that covers my dark circles is worthy of an award so making it onto my March Beauty Favourites is as good as it's gon' get! This is creamy and has a good coverage and doesn't crease easily. Its likely this will make it onto a few of my beauty favourites.
Onto blush is this gorgeous Cheek Pop from Clinique. The one I'm loving most is 'Ginger pop' but there are four shades in total to choose from and quite frankly, I want them all haha! Theres no shimmer in this but somehow makes your skin look glowy, it's like a piece of amazing science that I can't really wrap my mind round but I love it, the flower print in this is gorgeous and genuinely, I cannot describe the texture of it. It feels like silky powder, but looks like a cream blush. I just absolutely love this and would really recommend it to all of you!
For brows, I have been really liking the Kiko Eyeshadow palette which has two brow powders, a brow wax, a pair of eyebrow tweezers, an angled eyebrow brush and a little spooly for combing your brows.I just think this is the perfect set for everyone, the powders are perfect for pretty much most hair colours, and the size of the compact makes this perfect for traveling too! I love attention to detail and so the eyebrow tweezers and spooly thing make all the difference for me.
Onto mascara, I've been really enjoying using my Maybelline mascara (the turquoise one, I forget it's name!) it makes all my lashes stand out without going clumpy and I genuinely feel my lashes are quite fluttery when I use this. I like the flexible brush aswell. I've had this for a little while now and still hasn't dried out. I would actually pay a lot more for this than the price it actually is.
Sticking with eyes is the Kiko Water Eyeshadow and my favorite shade is 208 Light Gold and it's a gorgeous gold toned pink. The color is gorgeous for Spring and I have been using it literally most days.  The design is amazing aswell, it has a wave in the pigment, which makes it look like it has LOADS of product in the pan, which I am all for and at just £8.90, I think this is a bargain,
Onto lips, there are two products that have made it onto the list.
One is the Lush Lip Scrub in 'Bubblegum'.  I speak to a lot of beauty bloggers and literally for the past couple of years I think, they have been recommending this to me but I've just never gotten round to getting it because we don't have a Lush store where I live. I went to Carlisle for the day a few weeks ago and there was a Lush so I dashed in and bought it and have been addicted ever since. You're supposed to eat this, because it's made of flavourings, caster oil and sugar - thats it! but the idea of eating skin makes me all weirded out so I tend to wipe this off. The smell is amazing and it actually works!! just rub some on your lips for a few minutes and honestly, your lips will be silky smooth and raggy skin free!
Last but by no means least is the Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Daiquiri. I cannot even tell you how much I love this, it feels sticky when you put it on, then literally 30 seconds later, the stickyness has vanished like a thief in the night and you are left with amazing shiny non sticky lip lusciousness. Seriously! I am not a gloss kinda gal but this one makes me all excited. Even my nana liked it! haha it's nana approved! Love it!
