This is probably a little bit late for a monthly favourites but I wanted to post it anyway, I've set myself an unofficial resolution to post a favourites post every month, for me March dragged slightly but I did have a few things I really enjoyed that I wanted to share.
At the start of this month I was considering getting rid of my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette so I decided to try to use it for a bit to decide...and fell back in love with it..I don't know why I go through phases of not using my Urban Decay palettes but when I do use them I remember how much I love them, I've specifically been using the shades Liar, Darkside and Buzz, and of course Nooner to blend, it's such a pretty palette!
Also at the start of this month I was in Holland with my mum, and while we were in Amsterdam I found this contour powder by Etos which I think is like the Dutch equivalent of boots or superdrug? I've been looking for a contour shade like this for so long, it's the perfect colour for contouring, and only cost about €5 and I'm really dreading running out of this, it's so good!
I also got my first ever Limecrime product this month, their Velvetine lip colour in Pumpkin, I used to love orange lip colours and decided to try this one to get back into them, and love it so much! It's really long lasting and isn't crazily drying, I love the formula so much that I actually don't like wearing regular lip formulas anymore, I've actually just ordered their new colour and am so excited for it to arrive.
More orange now, but this time on my nails, I got this Miss Sporty nail polish from my work the other week and have been loving wearing it with Rimmels It's a Scorcher on top, I wouldn't say these in particular are my favourites, but more just the colour in general, I love orange all year round but having it on my nails makes me feel all summery. The other polish I've been loving has been Urban Outfitters Oilslick, I love stalking the nail polish rack in Urban Outfitters, and can't wait 'til I move so I can live near one, I got this last time I went and love it so much, it's a beautiful colour shifting polish that lasts a while on your nails too, I've found a few interesting nail polishes from their before and while they are slightly pricey I do think they are worth it.
Lastly for nails I've been loving Seche Restore, I love the Seche Vite Dry Fast topcoat but it does go very thick about halfway through the bottle, Seche Restore isn't a nail polish thinner, it doesn't break down the formula it replenishes what is lost when the polish drys out, so it won't lose it's consistency, you only need a few drops so the bottle will last a while, and it works in normal polishes too.
While in duty free I caved in and bought YSL's Black Opium, I've been lusting after this for so long and I'm so happy I finally have it, it smells very deep and spicy and probably isn't quite appropriate for the season but I love it regardless.
Carrie Fletcher is one of my absolute favourite people ever, her youtube channel never fails to make me smile so obviously I had to get her book All I Know Now, I don't know why I put off reading this but I'm so glad I finally got round to reading it. It's aimed at a younger audience than myself, designed to be a sort of guidebook to growing up, but for me I love hearing stories so it was like having a sort of one sided chat with Carrie..if that makes any sense whatsoever..moving on..
Also this month I read The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, it's a bit different to the other fictional books I've read lately, it's more lighthearted but is still a really interesting read, I'm currently reading the sequel so might do a review of both of them when I finish that one but they are so good!
TV wise this month I've been loving Buffy The Vampire Slayer on netflix, I used to like this when I was younger but didn't really watch it properly but I've been addicted to watching it lately, once you get over the 90's style it's so good! My favourite characters at the moment are Angel, Cordelia, Willow and of course Buffy.
I also really loved watching Thirteen, it's a BBC drama and was so interesting, it's about a girl called Ivy who escapes her kidnapper after thirteen years and it follows her relationships with her family and friends, and also the police in their investigation to find her captor, I do wish they had put a little more back story into the final episode but it was a really gripping show and is only five episodes long so is a really quick watch if you don't have much time.
My last TV favourite was Pretty Little Liars, I did mention this when it came back but I decided I'm allowed to put it in a favourites again now that it's finished, I know the five years on thing has divided opinions but I really like it, I love that the storyline feels fresh and I mostly like how the characters have developed, Hanna is still my favourite but I feel like I appreciate Spencer a lot more now than I did before, I really want to rematch the entire show at some point but I don't think I'm prepared for how confusing that could be, I am dreading when they decide to end the show though, it's definitely one of my favourite shows ever.
Finally I have a music favourite and it has to be Adele's album 25, I don't know why it took me so long to download this but I am in love with it! I actually listened to it on repeat while reading The Rosie Project so it reminds me a lot of that book, but the songs are so beautiful, as of course is Adeles voice, she's another one of my favourite people! It's hard to pick specific favourite songs but I do love When We Were Young, River Lea, Love in the Dark, Water Under the Bridge...I could list all of them to be honest but I'll behave and leave it there.
Thankyou so much for reading, I'm getting closer to moving now so hopefully I'll be able to keep on top of posting at least once a week..maybe..probably not, I'll try my best though, If you're still reading after this rather rambly post then I hope you have the best April!
