Loving Lately: March Beauty Faves


Hey you! Happy Friday! I hope your week flew by fast. Today I'm sharing a few of my beauty favorites of the month. Let me know your faves or what you'd like to try.

Cupcakes And Cashmere for Formula X Polishes--Consider your spring and summer shades sorted. We've got Peach Tea (I'm wearing it in the video below), Haute Sauce, and Latte Run. I love them separate and together.

Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation Stick--Foundation sticks have a special place in my heart, because the very first expensive beauty item I ever bought from Sephora was a foundation stick. That was 15 years ago! I thought I was so cool, hehe.

Foundation sticks are generally for oily skin and for those want lots of coverage, but this one works so well on my dry skin. By the way, the rest of these pics will be gifs because I am bound and dang determined to get you to watch a video of mine. ;)


Zac Posen for MAC Lipsticks in Dangerously Red and Darling Clementine--Spring has me all in love with a bright lip and how gorgeous are these? They are matte but creamy. I'm in love, basically. The red is more of a pinky red. I'm wearing both in the video below. Why? Because I can, pretty much.

Hard Candy Velvet Mousse Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Blossom--I am still on my matte liquid lipstick kick. This one is affordable and surprisingly really good for the price. Get it online or at Walmart.

Sephora Give Me Some Nude Lip--I saw this on a blog (PLEASE let me know if it was you--nothing irks me more than when someone tries to take credit for something else) but it was sold out, so I didn't retain the knowledge. Cut to my usual trolling and scrolling of the Sephora Just Arrived section. I saw this and snagged it. Inside are some goodies for several shades of nude. Lip gloss, lip sticks, lip liners...you're covered. And the box is shaped like a pair of lips. I mean!

Pixi Beauty sent me some goodies--you can get them at Target. The Hydrating Milky Mist is half the price of the Tatcha one and refreshes and hydrates dry skin.

The Nourishing Lip Polish treats lips with gentle exfoliation and moisturization.

The Book of Minimal Makeup has everything you need to enhance a "no makeup-makeup" look: bronzer, highlight, blush, and shadows. This is SO good for travel, too.


Tartlette in Bloom palette by Tarte--I finally caved and got this a few months ago after seeing it on everyone's blog. I do share what it looks like in the video, but since it has been covered so much online, you can see it on the video.

Too Faced Sweet Peach--I shared this yesterday, and it's already a favorite!

And finally, here's the video below with MORE favorites than pictured here:

  4. I never got into the thought of using foundation sticks, the thought feels strange. But I have oily skin and am looking for a full coverage option, so maybe I should...

  5. That nude lip looks right up my alley! I love bold lip colors, but my everyday is much more subdued and natural.

  9. I really want to try the foundation stick, but I've heard that it's better suited for dry skin. Maybe I just need to go to Sephora and try it out. I'm buying the nude lip kit for my BFF for her bday and I'm so excited to give it to her. I always watch your videos and I love them!

  14. I really want to get both of those palettes! I haven't tried a stick foundation in years, but having one again would be great for on the go!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Those nail colors are gorgeous, and just what I want to have on my nails right now, especially that first one. I don't have a nude lipcolor but that Sephora one does look pretty perfect!

  16. Your Loving Lately could easily be renamed my Covet Lately! Seriously, I have so many of these products on my shopping list right now - from the polish and the eye palettes to that Nude Lip Kit!

    Side Note: I so wish that Formula X would have made the C&C trio in a mini set - I rarely use a full bottle of polish, and love the affordability of minis!

  26. Your skin looks amazing so I clearly need to check out the foundation stick. I have never used one before. I love the packaging of the hard candy lip stuff and the tartlette palette!!! I am going to look for the Pixi lip scrub I could use a new one. I made my own from sugar and coconut oil but sometimes I want a little less of a mess. Hope you have a happy Easter!!!!

    I love Make Up For Ever's Ultra HD stick foundation! It always makes my skin look flawless and I get compliments when I wear it and I'm not typically a stick foundation girl either.
