March Favorites | Top Five Beauty Products of the Month

I am constantly trying out new products and concepts, and so I really like to round up my favorites that I discovered throughout the month. I did these pretty consistently last year, and I am going to start bringing them back monthly!



Holy. Moly. This has QUICKLY became my signature smell. I haven't ever splurged on a perfume, unless it was a gift. I usually buy cheap body sprays from Bath and Body Works, or the $10 sprays from Victorias Secret. I don't usually love actual perfume because it is a bit heavy for me. I usually like fruity/tropical smells, which I think is also a reason that I haven't found my scent, because those scents aren't always appropriate. I smelled this one day in Sephora, and instantly knew I needed it. The best way to describe the smell, is exactly what they named the product, fresh cream. It is sweet, but not too sweet, and it is savory, but not too savory. I would describe it as an almost frosting smell, without the sweetness, if that makes any sense. Next time you are in Sephora or Ulta, smell this! They also have it in a lotion and a body wash. 




I have been loving this scrub lately. It is really important to exfoliate your skin often, to keep dry skin cells off of your face, and promote the turn over of new skin cells. I often find myself putting off exfoliating, because most exfoliants are too harsh for my skin. This exfoliant is SO gentle and there aren't big chunks of anything that will scrape or scratch your skin. It is extremely mild, and gentle. I have been using this twice a week, and the overall smoothness of my skin has been amazing. Best part? UNDER $5. Yep, you're welcome. This brand also makes an apricot scrub, which has great reviews but that one is too harsh for my skin. 



There really isn't much to say here. This is the PERFECT pink lipgloss for me. This is my exact lip color. I can slap this on at any time of day and be 100% confident that it will look okay because it is my exact lip color, with a shine. It won't look the same on everyone, but I'm very excited to have found a lip gloss that is exactly my lips but better, and it's from the drugstore! 


These shadow sticks come in four colors, rose gold, royal blue, purple, and teal. I actually own all four colors, but this one has been my favorite. These are formulated to be a shadow stick, but I have been using them as an eyeliner on my bottom lash line. I used to love wearing harsh black eyeliner on my bottom eyes, but recently I've loved leaving it blank. It really opens up my eyes, and makes me look a lot more awake and fresh. I've started adding this rose gold shadow stick to my bottom lash line, and it keeps that fresh look with being a little pop of color which I love. 


This might be my all time favorite product discovery in the past few months. That is why there are two bottles, I've been using this like crazy! I have always washed my face at night, and then I get extremely lazy in the mornings and don't want to wash. I know this is extremely bad, but just being honest. This cleansing water has been a life saver. Cleansing waters have been popular in the UK for a while now, but this is one of the first micellar waters to hit the states. It is basically water with a lot of great skin benefits and great ingredients. I put this on a cotton bad and wipe down my face every morning. It allows me to cleanse my skin in the morning, with barely any effort. Bonus. 


What were your favorite products this month?

As always, thanks for reading.
