MY MONTHLY FAVORITES: MARCH 2014

♥ Monthly Favorites: March 2014. 

How are you guys doing on this lovely Thursday? Hope that you are having an awesome day so far. It's time for a brand new monthly favorites post. I feel like I just posted my February favorites, time flies when you are having fun, huh? So without any further ado, let's jump right into the products that I have been loving for the month off March! :-)

 ♥ MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. 

The MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle is an oldie but a goodie. It's my favorite and most used highlighter in my entire makeup collection, and it's been featured in many off my monthly favorites posts.

I have had Soft and Gentle for a couple off years now, and you can barely see that it's been used. It's definitely not the most affordable highlighter on the beauty market. It's going to last a very long time, so to me it's so worth the money. I highly recommend that you check it out, I think you are going to love it as much as I do! :-) 

 ♥ Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette in Vanity. 

I have re-discovered my love for the Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette in Vanity. The eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, soft and very smooth to the touch. They are not too powdery, so they don't have a lot off fallout to them. I'm a neutral eyeshadow kind off girl, so this palette is right up my alley. It's such a great, travel friendly, affordable little palette which have a nice selection off neutral shades.

I believe that this palette has been discontinued by the brand, but you can still find it on eBay, HERE! :-) 

 ♥ Physicians Formula PH Matchmaker PH Powered Lip Gloss in Light Pink. 

You might have seen this lip gloss featured in my most recent beauty swap post. The lovely Nancy-Lee from fashionCHICsta sent it to me, and I'm so happy that she included it in my package. It's one off those lip glosses that senses the pH level of your skin and adjusts to create the perfect lip color for you. It has a little mirror on the side, which can be very handy if you are on the go. It also lights up, which I think is totally awesome! :-)

I have already fallen in love with it. I hardly ever wear lip gloss, but this one is definitely a keeper. It gives my lips the prettiest shade off pink. I can see why it's one off Nancy-Lee's favorites, it's gorgeous. You can check out my beauty swap post HERE! :-) 

 ♥ Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush in Pearlescent Pink. 

The Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush in Pearlescent Pink has been another big favorite off mine during the month off March. It's nicely pigmented and it looks very pretty and natural on the skin. It gives the cheeks a healthy glow, which makes it a great blush for Spring and Summer! :-) 

 ♥ LUSH Cosmetics Handy Gurugu Hand Cream.

♥ LUSH Cosmetics Handy Gurugu Hand Cream.

The Handy Gurugu Hand Cream by LUSH Cosmetics have been a total lifesaver for me during the past few months. My hands have been so dry and sore due to the cold weather. I used to have a couple off dry patches on my hands, but thanks to this hand cream they are now completely gone. It keeps my hands nicely hydrated thoughout the day. I love using it at night before I go to bed, my hands feel incredible soft and smooth the next day. It has a very delightful, clean and fresh scent which I'm totally obsessed with. I just can't get enough off it! :-) 

♥ Family Guy. Photo source, HERE. 

A non-beauty favorite for the month off March has been Family Guy. If you are not familiar with the show, it's about a dysfunctional family who strive to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another. I know some people won't like it and the humor that comes with it, but I personally love it. I think it's such a fun show, it never fails to make me laugh. Do you watch Family Guy? Who is your favorite character on the show? I like Peter, Glenn Quagmire, Herbert and Stewie! :-)

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner in Hazel Eyes [Swatches]

Physicians Formula's Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiners has to be the best eye liners that I have tried. I love how smooth they are and how they just glide-on effortlessly. These have a long-wearing, water-resistant and smudge-resistant formula which is amazing! :)

Physicians Formula: Bronze Gems Matte & Bright Brozer, Highlighter & Eye Shadow [Swatches]

What I really love about this product is that it's so versatile. It can be used as a bronzer, a highlighter and even an eyeshadow. The bronzer itself is matte, it got a few glitter particles but its not enough to show up on the skin. I think it would also make a really good crease color, I will have to try that out sometime :)

Physicians Formula: Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner

I can't tell you how excited I am about trying these cream liners by Physicians Formula. I have heard so many great things about these and when I swatched them on my arm they really impressed me with their pigmentation and creaminess. I will definitely do a look with these and also the Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner, these are going to go so well together ^^




You also get a brush which is great if you like using these type of applicators, but i prefer using my own brushes. These are always great to have if you are going travelling and you don't want to take your more expensive brushes with you or if you like to travel light ^^


♥ Metallic Lavender


♥ Metallic Green


♥ Black + Pewter Shimmer


These look so pretty, I cant wait to try them and see how they work. These are supposed to be 24 -hour wear, water-resistant and smudge resistant which I cant wait to test out. I will be doing a full review on these ^^

Have you tried these cream liners before?
If yes, what do you think about them? ^^
Love Christine♥

Physicians Formula: Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner.

I picked up this Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enchancing Shadow and Liner by Physicians Formula from an Ebay seller not that long ago. This is the green eye candy palette which consists of 9 eyeshadows perfect for green eyes. Im a big fan of purple eyeshadows so im super excited to try it out and start playing with these colors.I hope this is a great palette and that the colors are pigmented. The colors can be used wet which will give a more intense and dramatic look and also as an eyeliner as well. You can get this palette here.
