March Favorites!

Hi! So, instead of making a video right now, due to the current state of my appearance I am going to make this a blog.

Throughout the month of March I have been adoring some new products that I would love to share with you all.

Also, there will be links as to where you can purchase said products and swatches.

Enjoy!

FACE:

First off, I cannot use this foundation at the moment, because of this diet thing that I am doing (boo!)  But, nevertheless my new favorite 

foundation is Revlon Colorstay (I have this in Ivory).

The consistency of it is nice and it blends well, although it is best applied with your fingers or a sponge and works best if blended fast, because it dries pretty quickly.  Revlon Colorstay has a variety of colors, and I paid less than ten dollars and I'm sure it will last me quite a while since 

I only have to use a small amount (even less than I used with MAC studio Fix Fluid).

The second product featured in this photo is NARS' Blush in 'Torrid'.  I have been wearing this blush everyday for almost a month, it is hard to see in the photo, but it is more of a orangey pink than a pinky pink.  It looks gorgeous on fair skin (can't speak for others, because I'm not them).  The glitter in it is more of a shimmer and not so much a chunky glitter, I actually prefer Torrid over the famous 'Orgasm'.

 This retails for $25 and can be found at www.sephora.com or anywhere NARS products are sold.

(I could not get this photo to flip for the life of me!)

EYES:

Let's start off with the duo in the photo.  This is from NARS, and it is called 'Habanera'.  It may look like any old minty green and deep purple to you, but my oh my, it is so much more. 

 At first when I looked at the colors I didn't think I would wear them together, as I was weary about the color combination, but boy do these look FABULOUS together.  

The mint color in the duo is silky, frosty (without chunky glitter) and satin-like. Seriously, it glides on like butter!  The deep purple is more glittery and not as frosty looking.  Both are completely blendable and take almost no effort.

This retails for $32 at www.sephora.com or anywhere you can purchase NARS products. 

The second product I would like to discuss is the purple loose shadow you see at the bottom of the photo.  

This product is called 'Glam Girl' and it was made by Glamour Doll Eyes.

This is the purple of my dreams! being a purple-shadow-lover I was pleasantly surprised to receive this in the mail.  It's like grapes on crack.  Seriously, I can't say enough about this shadow.

Blends amazingly and the pigmentation is flawless.

Applies best wet, and has just enough sparkle.

This retails for a mere $8 and can be purchased at www.glamourdolleyes.com

The yellow mascara featured here is the 'Colossal'  it is produces by Maybelline.

I personally, am fine with the length of my lashes, but have always wanted a tad extra volume for those days that I don't feel like applying false lashes.  

I bought this mascara not expecting much, but more being sucked into the cute packaging that it has, I was surprised!

Not only does it thicken my lashes, but it lengthens and curls them as well.

Keep in mind, everyone's lashes are different and what works for me may not work for you.

The last product shown is L'Oreal Paris Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner.

What a mouth full, huh?

Anyway, this is a felt tipped liquid eyeliner, and I much prefer the felt tips to

 the hard brushes.  I find that it applies lovely and effortlessly and is very dark black, the only gripe that I have about this product is that when I go to curl my lashes after applying it some of the liner comes off with my eyelash curler :(

Well worth the money I paid though, I don't exactly remember the price.

The last two products I talked about can be purchased at most drugstores, and grocery stores for a fraction of the cost of the high end products.

LIPS:

Let's start off from the top lipgloss.

The first product featured is a MAC Dazzleglass called 'Glamour O.D.'

Unfortunately this is no longer available because it is my favorite lipgloss.  

I love the consistency of the dazzleglasses, because I find they last the longest for me, and look the nicest on the lips.  Quite a few people that I have talked to find them sticky.  It's really a personal preference. 

I love dazzleglasses because they look as if they are diamond-like, the shimmer sparkles different duo-chromes and looks perfect on your lips.

This color looks beautiful, because it's not too red-ish but it's a darker pink and it goes on with

great pigment.

I believe this retails for $17.50

Since it was limited edition I have no idea where you can find this anymore, you can check ebay or makeupalley though.

The dazzleglasses will become permanent in April, I think.

The second product is also a MAC one, it is the lustreglass in 'Love Nectar', I had heard xsparkage from youtube rave about this over and over so finally I had to purchase it.  I am so glad that I did.

This color is a more natural nude-y sheen of pearl, if that makes sense, it's gorgeous and goes well with all eye looks.

this retails for $14.50 and can be purchased at www.maccosmetics.com or anywhere MAC products are sold.

Last, but not least is a Rachel Perry Lip Lover's Lip butter, and I have the flavor 'Very Vanilla'.  This lip butter is extremely moisturizing and adds a shine to your lips that looks as if you are wearing a clear gloss.  It comes in a variety of different flavors, but all are clear.  

I use it to repair my cracked lips.  The taste and smell of this chapstick is incredible.  

I am not sure where you can purchase this, but check amazon.  I think it retails for somewhere around $4 and it lasts forever.
