Why did March seem to go by even quicker than February? Perhaps it was because I was working again, had family in town, and became obsessed with finding the perfect little bowl for my kitchen. I have been hired on officially at Valentino and am beyond thrilled. I am excited that it is happening now after having wanted to work for the company for so long. I have a few new favorites for March and am already finding new April favorites -- even though we're only a few days into it. It's finally getting warmer, so it's time to break out the spring clothes and come out of hibernation.
I have a few less products this month just because I've been so busy. But trust me, these are great ones. They might be on the pricey side, but I feel like you get what you pay for with things like shoes and cosmetics.
Ok, there is only one place that I could find that sells this in the US. Luckily, it was a 15 minute walk from my apartment. I cringed at the price ($20 for this tiny bottle), but I am obsessed. I have been using it all month and haven't used much. It doesn't dry out my skin and has no scent. It takes all my makeup off easily. I can understand why this is a cult favorite. I tried to get my mom to try it while she was here, but she always forgot and used makeup removing wipes. It's probably more economical because the makeup wipes aren't cheap. You go through a pack a month for just under $10 for something from the drug store. When I finish this, I'm totally investing in the big bottle. I'm not sure how I feel about buying it on Amazon, but I might have to take that route since they are a bit cheaper than The London Pharmacy. Anyone in France want to ship this to me in NYC?
So far I've only been using a sample of this, but I plan on investing in the full size sooner than later. I've been using it after using my amazing Bioderma and my skin hasn't felt smoother or looked better. I swear my makeup is applying easier. This is an oil that you just need a few drops of - the sample lasted me about a week. It seems greasy when you put it on, but it fully absorbs by morning. My dry patches by my nose are totally gone. It has great reviews, so it seems like I'm not the only one obsessed with this product.
I tried Fix Beauty Bar for the first time with my sister a few weekends ago -- it's a great concept. I probably wouldn't go back for a blow out (I much prefer Dry Bar for that experience), but their wall of nail polish makes me want to go every week. Everything from the typical Essie and OPI to Chanel, Nars, Butter London, and even two of the new Marc Jacobs colors. I made the tough decision and decided on Sky Line (the other choice was Chanel Jade, which looks gorgeous but it was just after St. Patrick's Day so I didn't want green). This color is so unique-- it's blue but purple. It's so pretty, so I was upset when my nails started chipping. I will definitely go back because I can't afford all the Chanel nail polish I want at their prices!
It's no secret I love my Rockstud pumps. They are so comfortable (no, seriously) and unique. I had gotten this pair in September and hadn't worn them much at Marie Claire. I typically wore my poudre, which are an amazing nude. But now that I'm back, I find myself grabbing my Noirs first. We wear a lot of black and white, so these just look a little more polished. Plus, I love the ruthenium studs, they are gorgeous in person. I love the 65mm high because they are easy to walk in, but I feel like I now need to invest in a 100mm. Hmm... decisions on what to get next...
This was a super short post of favorites, but considering most of them are expensive items, I can't afford to have these favorites every month! What were some of your favorite things from March? Any must haves in fashion or beauty I need to try in April?
