*Purchased by me*

*Pr Gifted*

My favorites. Gosh I can;t remember when was the last time I posted favorites post. Its been long I can assure you. 

Well March was rather short month when it comes to going to work, so I will include my faves and fails from past few months :)

There is so many products I could include but ... I will try to keep it under 10. 

FAVORITES 

Benefit Pr Sample, OFRA purchased by me 

First I want to talk about highlighters, Benefit Cookie and OFRA Sea Shimmer. Both been in my collection since last year and both I been using on daily basis. Both have very nice texture and glide on easily on the skin and leave beautiful glow that might not be every ones cup of tea :) 

Swatches :)

Top one is Ofra and bottom Benefit Cosmetics

Both purchased by me

Next Blushes. Oh buy in the past few months I went on a blush craze and been buying and trying out countless amount of blushes. Who am I? I never liked blush before, I always thought I look like a clown and went for super super nude and barely there blushes. Well not this time :) Two of my faves these past months were DOME Beauty- English Rose Bluser and Ciate London - Halo Blush. One is more pinky one more mauvey. I tend to reach for Ciate more but that's personal preference. I just love how it look on my cheeks :)
Swatches:

Top is Dome and bottom Ciate

Next is PYT Beauty NO BS Eye shadow palette. Guys I didn't think I would love this palette so! The bottom eye-shadow shades are stunning! Just slap them all over the lid and you good to go! They go on so nice and blend really good. Also the highlighter (bottom one) in this palette is beautiful. I used it occasionally. I mean it this is really good and travel friendly palette. If you can find it try it out for your self :)
Swatches :

Gifted by a friend.

Next we have JO MALONE Lime Basil and Mandarin - this smells so fresh! it was Christmas gift from my bff and guys even my daughter loves this perfumes. Well to be more specific they are not perfume per se but cologne :) 

Top notes are lime, mandarin and bergamot

Middle notes- basil, lilac, iris and thyme

Base notes: patchouli,  vetiver

It does remind of perfumes that were sold in Avon PL long time ago. I think they were city themed..but my mom got lime, basil scent and I feel in love with it :)

PR Sample. Sent via Joinplam Collab

Muscle Ease Gel with botanical pain relievers by Lather - this little tube did so much good to my body! Each time I had muscle pain or even cramp on my leg once I put it on the pain went away. It have this burning sensation that I like. This keeps saving my muscles all the time and sadly i am running low already :( Gotta stock up!

PR Sample 

Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Makeup Removing Wipes- Purlisse was kind enough and send over second pack of these wipes ! They actually really good! they cloth is soaked up well and it takes off makeup and even swatches with ease. But I don't waste it on swatches, I have other less fave wipes for that. They are seriously really good! and now since I am on Purlisse PR I get to try so many fab products (and I do I have so much to show and recommend to you )

Purchased by me part of Boxy Charm I pay for. 

And lastly lets talk about oil that feels so good you won't even tell its oil. Elemis Rose Oil - I recommended to few of my friends and once Boxy Charm had pop up I bought 5 of them and gave it to my friends. They love it! Even my sister in law ! I told her to get a Boxy pop up and she too waiting to get more of it. I have now two bottles of this pretty little jar :) It feels so good on the skin, sinks right away, and even tho its an oil you cant feel it.

FAILS 

PR Sample 

* Bellapiere Pompous Lash Volumizing Mascara - um no.there is no color to the lashes and no volume. Sadly I didn't like this mascara. Sad as I love the brand. Some of their products are really good! :)

Purchased by me

* Gigi Gorgeous Blush duo (in collab with IPSY) - I was excited by this little compact and I was so disappointed with the shimmery shade. tis a strange hard pan and there is no way your brush or your finger can pick up any product. The left side (matte/satin peachy blush) is much better. I will keep the compact just for that blush.  The shimmer sucks A**
Swatches: the peachy shade swatched really nice but as you can see the shimmer is not showing at all...
Just on a side note I will use only the matte peachy side of the blush duo. Shimmer is a total fail!

Purchased by me

* Burts Bee Almond and Milk Hand Cream - the only reason that this is a fail for me is the scent. It gives me so much headache... My hubby bought two containers. And I just can't :( I guess its the almond scent that gives me headache. I remember Avon used to have hand cream like that and same story headache like no other.  Just fyi  my jar is full coz like I said hubby bought two and he keeps one home and the other one is the car. Once he done with the one in the care he will take this one :) So fail for me coz of the scent, hubby likes it :) It is a preference and I am not hating ont he brand whats so ever.

So that will be it for my faves and fails :)
