MARCH MONTHLY FAVOURITES

Better late than never, yep, it's my March favourites! 

So, let's dive right in, shall we?  Here's what I've been loving last month....


Keeping my lips smooth....

So, I had read previously about this funky little sphere shaped lip balm. A lot of celebrities seemed to be raving about it, so I had it in my head that you could only get it in America.  Now, I'm off to New York in September (I'm SO excited!!), so I thought I'm definitely picking it up when I get there....until, my friend had a little search on Amazon & found it & bought it for me! (What a star!) 

This special lip balm is by EOS.  It comes in a variety of flavours, including Lemon Drop, Summer Fruit, Honeysuckle & Blueberry Acai.  The one my friend gave me was in the flavour Strawberry Sorbet.



It is gorgeous! 

It contains Shea butter, vitamin e & jojoba.  It's organic, natural & free from parabens.

It feels so lovely when you apply it & I love the funky shape & packaging.  It keeps my lips feeling lovely, moist & smooth for hours.

It cost around £3.50 & was really worth it! I'm definitely going to purchase some other flavours now! 


An Oldie But a Goodie....

I've purchased this item longer than I care to remember (in fact, it was one of the first items of makeup I ever owned!) & every time I decide to move on to something else, I ALWAYS go back to this! 

It is of course, Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent.  



I had to run out to buy some more today as I was running low & also I couldn't photograph the one I'm using in it's current state, but I guess that when you saw it, you'd know how much I use & love it! 

It's just great to set my makeup & also to top up in the day.  It's just one of those items that does what it says on the tin & at a price of only £3.99, you can't go wrong! 


Cheap But Luxurious....

I love YouTube.  It's great for picking up hints & tips & watching your favourite vloggers.  One of mine is BroganTatexo.  I really love her positivity & also her obsession over the shop Home Bargains! So, I thought I'd pop along to see if Home Bargains is all it's cracked up to be!  

And yes, there are a few great finds there & one of them I've discovered (& worthy of a monthly favourite) is Creightons Vanilla Macadamia Cocoon Hand Wash.  That stuff is amazing & only 99p! 



It smells wonderful & it really moisturising on your skin.  I just can't get over how much it feels like a luxurious product but is so cheap.....so I've stocked up & bought 3!!


Taste of India in a mug....

For my final two favourites of last month, it's not beauty but two new drinks I've discovered! 




Now, I am in no way a 'proper' tea drinker (believe me, I've tried to be 'normal' like the rest of the British public, but I'm afraid it's coffee all the way!) but this does really hit the spot sometimes! 

I love the bright turquoise & purple packaging, but what's inside is more important!  It contains 12 loose leaf pyramids of Assam Tea but it's the Indian spices, almond & honey that makes it yummy - it smells divine & adding hot frothy milk (in my case, almond or soya) it makes it a lovely alternative to my usual coffee.

And I really agree with what it says on the back of the packet....

Chat. Laugh. Sip. Savour. 


Water that's a Little bit Clever....

So the final fave is something that Jennifer Aniston & I have in common. We both love Smart Water by Glaceau.



It says on the bottle that it's 'inspired by clouds' & I think it is.  It has a lovely, clean taste - it's vapour distilled & has electrolytes added to it.

I really think that since drinking this water, it's helped me keep going between meals during a busy day.  I suffer with anemia & find my energy & sugar levels can drop quite easily & this Smart Water seems to have really helped & stopped me feeling so weak at times.

Why don't you give it a go & see if it makes a difference to you? 

So, there we have it - that's my March! 

I can't wait to find out what favourites are in store this month....
