It is currently 9:15pm on March 30th and I'm going to try to get my March favorites up before March is actually over! I cannot believe that March is actually over and there's only 30 days standing between me, finals and SUMMER! I can't wait!
Aaaaaaaaanyways, here's what I loved during the month of March!
First up is a bronzer by ELF cosmetics. ELF has been ALL OVER my blog recently but that's because they are my favorite makeup brand and they are amazing! This is the same bronzer I used in my "One brand tutorial", and it's the Pressed Mineral Bronzer in Caramel Cabana!
When this first arrived, I thought that this color would be way too dark for my very fair winter skin, but once I applied it with the brush shown below and then went back and BLENDED it out with a fluffy powder brush, the result was flawless! This color will definitely be on my skin all summer because once I get some summer sun, (safely, of course. Always use SPF!), this bronzer will look good without any other face product!
My next favorite is Rimmel London's Colour Rush Balms! I recently did a whole review on these so go check that out! However, only one of them has really stood out to me this month and that is "Sunkissed". This is a beautiful coral color perfect for the nice weather that is finally here after what seems like 10 years of winter!
I also figured out the other day that if you let these balms dry on your lips, they dry matte, which I love! They do however feel very drying, but I'll deal with that because of how gorgeous the coral color looks matte, and it lasts hours before it starts to fade and I need to reapply! So that's awesome:)
Another product I have been loving in March (I actually almost typed "May" here, like woah, let's not get ahead of myself here!) has been a favorite of mine since the beginning, and it's my Hard Candy Eyeshadow Palette in "Birthday Suit". Any of you who have seen me rave about this can feel free to skip this part but if you haven't heard about this then feel free to read on! :)
I bought this palette at the end of 2014 and it's still going strong which is surprising since I use it daily! I also did a review on this palette so if you really want to know in depth about this palette and see swatches then you should go check that out as well!
A haircare product that I have been obsessed with during March is Got2be's "Guardian Angel" heat protectant. Basically what this does is protect your hair if your going to use any kind of tool on it like a blow dryer or straightener. I picked this up in February because I ran out of my usual one and I actually like this more!
Miss Glamorazzi on YouTube used to rave about this so I figured it would be good and she (as usual!) was right. This spray really does protect my hair from the damage of my straightener, the smell however, isn't pleasant. No worries though because it doesn't linger in my hair. The picture below is not mine, but it is the same product. Sorry, I usually use content that is all mine, but I just didn't have time to snap a pic of this product and edit it and get it up here before I pass out from exhaustion, haha!

A huge waste part of my time recently has been spent on Pinterest. If you've never heard of it, (although that's probably rare in 2015), Pinterest is a website/app where you basically create giant online collections of your interests. Every time you "pin" something that interests you to one of your boards (like you would on an actual cork board) it saves under a category on your profile so you can go back and look at it later.
I've been really building up my profile, I think I pinned well over 300 things this month, so if you like Pinterest as well, I urge you to follow me because I pin everything from blogging tips to make up, to fitness tips and workouts!
Okay, that's all for my March 2015 favorites! I'm sorry it wasn't much but school has been CRAY! Do people still say that? Oh well, I'm bringing it back! Thankfully it's almost over! Thank you so much for reading and as always please feel free to comment down below or find me on my social media! You can find my social media by clicking the pretty new icons I installed on the right hand side of my blog! :)
Xoxo,
