Ladies, today I have my March Beauty Favourites to share with you, as well as a few Empties. I am so happy about how many products I managed to finish in March, it always feels like such an accomplishment!
Starting with this gorgeous fragrance from The Body Shop, The British Rose EDT. It smells light, floral and elegant, like a big bunch of fresh roses! I can’t get enough of it. I featured this and a few other rose products from The Body Shop in this post here.
Next up we have the *Clarins SOS Primer in Coral, which is a fairly new product to my makeup stash, but I love how it feels on my skin, and how it evens out my skintone. It also has a wonderful effect on my dark circles! I have swatches of this primer here.
Another favourite is this gorgeous MAC Padma Lakshmi Lipstick in Nude Fudge. It is a warm dark nude shade with a matte finish. I love how pigmented it is in one coat, and although it is matte, it doesn’t feel drying or uncomfortable on the lips. I have swatches of this, and a few other pieces from the MAC Padma Collection here.
Swatches from Top-Bottom:
The Catrice Healthy Look Mattifying Powder in Luminous Light is pretty old, I don’t even think it is available anymore. It is a combination of four shades, designed to give you a fresh and healthy complexion, and although it is slightly mattifying, it doesn’t make you look flat. It also doesn’t leave a grey ashy look, or crease under the eyes, but rather brightens the area, which is great for my dark circles.
Lastly we have the Physician’s Formula Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Spotless Foundation SPF 15. This is possibly one of the best foundations I have ever tried. Although it is light and weightless, and practically fuses with your skin, it still manages to provide some serious coverage without looking heavy. It comes with a dropper which is surprisingly mess-free, and perfect for the runny consistency. Once dried the foundation has a silky, satin finish that feels so natural on the skin. The foundation also comes with a brush which unfortunately is way too small to apply foundation with, but works well for cream blush and highlighter.
And now for the Empties:
The Body Shop Glazed Apple Hand Cream- I love the scent of this, but it wasn’t as hydrating as I would like for a hand cream.
*Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream– Love love love this, it is definitely something I would repurchase.
Stila Stay All Day Precision Glide Brow Pencil in Black- I have already repurchased this, I love it so much!
Lush Whoosh Shower Jelly– I love the refreshing citrus scent, but Twilight is definitely my Lush pick.
Noreva Micellar Lotion– Soothing and calming, but not something I would repurchase, as it is quite expensive.
Aveeno Skin Relief Nourishing Lotion– I only just bought this recently and loved it so much it is already finished, a definite repurchase.
Dr. Sole Intensive Moisture Foot Butter- A hydrating, minty foot butter that does a good job.

Thanks for reading Ladies, what were your favourites in March?
I do love the body shop products!
I love how you combine your favourites and empties in one post!
I haven’t tried any of the product you’ve mentioned. i’ve seen these Clarins primers around though, I might go see if they do one for my particular skin concerns…

I feel so great when I finish something!
The Clarins SOS primers are still something I really want to get my hands on soon. They sound amazing
They are, I really love the texture and now they fuse with your skin while colour correcting.
I think I like the look of the foundation – I’ll have to give it a go x
I usually struggle with dropper foundations settling into lines and making me look old, but this is lovely!
You have a great selection of products. I always mean to write a post like this xx
I quite enjoy reading favourites posts!
I want to try that foundation x

I am so impressed by it! Most dropper foundations settle into lines and make my dehydrated skin look worse, but this one is amazing!
I always love your favourite beauty posts

Thank you! Yip, it is so easy to use the same products all of the time!
I love a citrus scent and I’ve never tried a shower jelly before, I really want to try Whoosh now!

It is so good, and I love that they have one for all concerns!
I love Clarins products! I may have to give the coral primer a go! Xx
It is great! But there are also others for different concerns which you can check in my full post.
The Physician’s Formula Youthful Wear Spotless Foundation sounds so good! xx
It is so good Reonette, I just wish the shade range was better, and that they had testers!
The clarins moisturiser is one of my favs too! X
It is so great!
You need to try the Aveeno body yogurts next – that is if you haven’t already 🙂 x
I don’t think we get them here yet, we have such a limited range, but I am hoping if it does well they will expand! I will keep an eye out! Thanks!
I’ve just re-discovered The Body Shop and I have a huge list of products I want to try. I really like the look of the Oils of Life range

That range is amazing, and they have a new addition which is the balm cleanser, it is lovely. I will have a review up on the full range in the next few weeks.
I literally love anything Aveeno or Clarins so I’m not surprised these are on your empties list!
Ooh some great faves! I am intrigued to try the SOS primer. I have never tried anything from Clarins before x
The primer is lovely! And they have one for most concerns, there is more detail in my post.
I actually find a lot of TBS hand creams aren’t hydrating enough. The only one that really does feel enough for me is the almond milk and honey one!
Lovely post!

Yip, me too! The Body Butters for Dry SKin are fine, and also the Hemp Hand Protector. I haven’t tried the Almond one yet.
I’ve been wanting to try Clarins skincare for sometime, they just so pricey
Candice | beautycandyloves.co.za
They are, but so worth it! And they last long too!
I have the Whoosh shower jelly and its my favorite for sure! not as nice as snow fairy mind haha
Ooohhh I haven’t tried Snow Fairy!
The body shop fragrances are AMAZING! I feel like they last all day and they’re so cheap you can just have a little spray over your clothes and feel so fresh again!
Much love, Caitylis x x
Yep they smell so expensive too!
I swear by Aveeno, it’s amazing on my skin too! x
I can’t believe how great it is!
I really want to start doing some monthly favourites but I usually like the same things for months and months on end! I like to stick to what I know! These pieces sound wonderful though!
Much love, Caitylis x x
Haha, I try to switch my stuff around so that I use up my products, and it makes it exciting to find old products I love!
