March Favourites

My monthly favourites this week is going to be a little shorter than my previous longer posts but hopefully it will keep your interest!

I am going to start off with my only non beauty related favourite and that is Miranda! I first watched Miranda on television when I was ill in bed one day. I had been ill for a week and completely lost my voice so I was feeling rather miserable. I switched on the TV waiting for something interesting to come on... flicked through the channel until I saw a ridiculously tall rather awkward woman on the TV screen. I stopped flicking because she reminded me of myself. Embarrassing, I know, but I am very tall and can be rather awkward and inelegant at times so Miranda and I have a few things in common. In fact, my best friends boyfriend used to call me 'Queen Kong' after one of Miranda's nicknames. Miranda the TV show was the first thing to make me laugh all week and since then I have been hooked. I loved watching her weekly awkwardness on a TV show which is weakly based around her life! Last Christmas my Dad got me 4 tickets to go see her live at the Leeds First Direct Arena. I invited my mum and best friend (saved a place for my sister who never showed up!) and anticipated a night of laughter. I was a little nervous as although I find her hilarious I have never seen her do stand up but once I was there, I was not disappointed! I laughed the whole way through and realised that her life was truly just like mine. Would definitely recommend a watch! Buy tickets if you can!

Laura Mercier, one of the holy grails of beauty comes next on my list. I am usually raving about the foundations and concealers which are a much beloved part of my makeup stash but this month I have a new love from the Laura Mercier family! The almond bath salts smell divine in a bath and completely melt away into the warm steamy water in your bath and the body creme is a perfect finale to a pamper evening. Nuts have been known, for a long time for their health benefits when digested but recently they have been placed in skin care for their fabulous anti-oxidant properties and being packed full of the wonder vitamin E. Almonds are rich in protein and therefore these bath and body luxuries will help repair your skin at the same time as relaxing your body, mind and soul.

Net-A-Porter has BEAUTY!!!! I was browsing for the perfect mothers day present on Net-A-Porter and stumbled across a section which some how I never knew existed! The beauty section! They have all sorts of secret lovlies such as; haircare with brands such as Serge Normant, Philip B and a personal favourite Rahua, a small fragrance section with Joya and Mary Greenwell, makeup with the most coveted brand of the moment Hourglass, Laura Mercier and Burberry and a well stocked skincare section with my love Eve Lom, this works, Caudalie and my other love Omorovicza. Check it out! WARNING: may lead to a severe decrease in disposable income and a severe increase in Net-A-Porter love.

My final favourite is the rise of the no make up selfie! Not only is it for a fantastic cause but it also encourages women to go bare and love their skin. This is a fantastic message to send out to women and encourages everyone to feel comfortable with themselves and allows them to feel a sense of family with other girls and women which I feel is needed and lacked in modern society. Text BEAT to 70007 even if you don't want to bare your skin and remember that you are helping women and men alike love their skin even when they are not feeling their best.

Next post soon lovelies!!
