March
was a good month for spending our money on things that we didn't really
need but every girl needs to treat herself once in a while, haha. Let's
have a look at our favourites for last month!
We bought our mum
Makeup Revolution's Ultra Blush Palette - £6 (full review
here)
for Mother's day and she let us share it with her. Neither of us have
owned a blush palette before but all of the colours are so pretty in
this palette and perfect for spring and summer. I especially love the
highlighting shades and this palette has some darker blushes for all the
contouring junkies out there! We're also loving Shop Moon Child! Shop
Moon Child sell gorgeous jewellery with a mystic gothy vibe and I
couldn't help but buy the
Cosmic Chain Choker - £4.99 (full review
here). This choker is so unique and I love the different coloured stones.
We bought
Maybelline's Lash Sensational Lash Multiplying Mascara - £7.99
a few weeks ago after hearing so many good things about it and it has
definitely lived up to the hype! This mascara is just like Benefit's
Roller Lash mascara which is double the price of Lash Sensational
mascara. After being sent Yves Rocher products we have fallen in love
with the brand, especially the
Serum Vegetal Night Cream - £21* (full review
here).
I have really noticed a difference in my skin since using this night
cream as my skin looks hydrated, moisterised and so much clearer! As a
complete lipstick junkie, I need to added
L'Oréal Paris Color Riche Lipstick - 703 Oud Obsession which is a true 90's inspired lipstick!
This colour is my dream nail polish. I'm a fan of
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Colours - £6.99. Red Zin is the perfect red shade. I've been wearing this polish for
a few days and it's hardly chipped. The colour is so intense and
pigmented. I love the look of this polish too as it looks so glossy and
almost gel like.
My new favourite eyeshadow palette is
Yves Rocher Quad Eyeshadow Sumptuous Colour - £12.50
in Red-hot brown. The shadows are so easy to apply and are really
pigmented. There is also no drop out during the day and they are so long
lasting without creasing.These eyeshadows create the perfect smokey eye
look. I will do a full review later on this month :) Yves Rocher are
such an amazing brand!
☾ Life:
Leah got here first ever tattoo! It's a small half moon on her wrist
and she's so in love with it. It's so perfect and will definitely do a
post on it soon but you can see it on our instagram :) We're both going
to get 'twin' tattoos and we can't wait! Life had been pretty boring
lately other than feeling super shit and down about things haha sorry to
be depressing!
☾ Music: My love for Alice In Chains is stronger than ever and I'm constantly listening to 'Dirt'. That album is just perfection.
☾ Watching: The
Following is finally back on again and I'm obsessed, especially as Joe
has came back in it again. We've both started watching The Walking Dead
and as you can probably tell, we're both obsessed. We're now watching
season 3 and oh my god Daryl is just amazing. I'm so inlove with him
❤ We're also watching Bates Motel which is just amazing!!
☾ Reading:
I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open to read before I go to
sleep but I'm reading the 'Fallen' series. I'm still undecided about
these books but I just need to know what the hell happens at the end,
haha, x
What are your favourites from last month?
Love Rachel & Leah, x
