MARCH // FAVOURITES

Hi Readers,

I must apologise for this post being over a week late now! My Easter holidays have been so busy! I was back in the Borders last week and totally forgot to take my camera, so I was unable to edit/upload the pictures I had prepared! 
To make up for this I'll be posting my March Favourites now (obviously!) and I'll also upload another blog post tomorrow, so that we're all caught up! 

Let's get on with it - these are my favourite things from the month of March, enjoy! 

I'll start with beauty, including makeup, skincare and haircare.
Firstly is a product I'd never used before and was sent to me as a gift. It's Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water. I think this product is amazing and removes every hint of my makeup - something which I have struggled to find with other removing products. The only thing about this product is it does make my skin a little dry, and I had a lot of angry breakouts in the first week of using it. This has settled now and I think it had more to do with my skin rather than the product itself, and using a bit more moisturiser than usual has also helped - I would definitely recommend this!

Secondly, I'm talking about a long-time love of mine which I've recently re-discovered in a gift set and fallen in love with all over again! It's Clean On Me by Soap & Glory. This is the silkiest, most gorgeous smelling body wash I've ever used and I will never stop repurchasing this! Love love love. 

Next up is a hair product I've been using a lot recently, particularly on nights out. It's Mr Dandy's Hair Candy by Lush, which is amazing for creating structure and volume in fine hair like mine. This makes my hair go absolutely huge, which is perfect for curling before I go out, as I suffer from the flattest hair known to man! The only thing I dislike about this is that it makes my hair feel very dry, as if I've used one of those volumising powders. However, paired with a mousse before blow-drying seems to help and the finished look is always incredible and long-lasting! 

The last beauty product I'd like to talk about is Nars' Contour Palette (mine is in shade 'Olympia'). I've had this palette since Christmas but feel like I've really gotten the hang of contouring over the last month or so without it being too overpowering. If you're a beginner in contour like me, I'd definitely recommend this as a place to start! 

Now I want to move onto some media-related things that I've been enjoying this month, starting with a film. The film that sticks in mind that I watched this month was Still Alice, starring Julianne Moore as a world-class lecturer who develops Alzheimer's Disease. It's an absolutely beautiful and true-to-life portrayal of dealing with this illness from the sufferer's point of view and from her family's point of view. Definitely check this out, but keep the tissues at the ready! 

I also wanted to talk about a view Youtube channels that I have rediscovered or discovered for the first time this month. The first is The Michalaks, which I discovered through BeautyCrush (aka Samantha Maria). I love the energy and charisma this adorable family has and their shooting style is so beautiful!
My Youtube preferences this month were definitely focussed on how the videos were shot and edited, and a couple who never disappoint on this front are Robert and Allie, check them out!
And lastly, probably my new favourite Youtuber on the planet is Andrew Kearns. He adventures to the most amazing places, his videos are amazing quality and his quirky and quick editing style is hilarious, easy to watch and keeps you wanting more! 100% check him out! 

Thanks for reading guys, I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you return tomorrow for the next one!
