WHAT'S IN MY MARCH MAKE UP BAG: ALL TIME FAVOURITES, NEWBIES AND REDISCOVERIES

This month, for the first time in the short history of Brighton Dream, I decided to make a "What's In My Make Up Bag" post. There are some all time favourites included in this post as well as newbies and rediscoveries. Let's start with my favourites. My make up bag always (I mean ALWAYS) includes the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I use it all year long, even in winter even though it's supposed to be a summer foundation. That's how much I love it. Other all time favourites are a Rimmel Stay Matte powder, Bourjois Bronzing Powder and Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss lipstick.

As for the newbies, I've been really loving the new Max Factor Excess Volume Extreme Impact mascara. I've written a review about it here. Another new thing that's found its place in my March make up bag is of course theBalm Frat Boy blush, my "monthly treat".  

As for the rediscoveries, there are two. The first one is my once favourite but forgotten GOSH eyeliner. I am not sure whether it's still available because I bought it more than a year ago I think. And it still works! A miracle, I know. The second rediscovery and the last item that has been in my make-up bag for the whole month is a NYC Metro Quartet Eye Shadow in Union Square. I also don't think it's still available. I've bought this little palette last year, used it couple of times and forgotten about it. And now, just when I've learned how to do the "crease thing" it's perfect. I'm using the darkest shade for the crease and the lightest one all over the lid. Then I just add a little eyeliner and I'm good to go. That's the make up I've been rocking almost everyday since the beginning of March.

MONTHLY TREAT: theBalm Frat Boy blush

Last month I decided to purchase something special every month and post it on my blog under the name of "Monthly Treat". In February I got my first MAC lipstick and this month the monthly treat is theBalm Frat Boy blush. I've wanted to get this blush for such a long time! I've heard so many nice things about it and the shade (even though it looks slightly different in real live than on theBalm's website) is just exactly what I need in my make-up collection. I haven't tried it yet as I obviously waited to post it on my blog first (I guess it's the nightmare of all beauty bloggers) but I think I will love this blush just as much as I love my favourite blush which is the Sleek blush. I'm very excited to try this and I will definitely post a review soon so stay tuned.

MY ULTIMATE theBalm WISHLIST

I've heard a lot about a brand called theBalm and so probably have you. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to buy any of theBalm's products here so for now all I can get is a wishlist.

I've placed only four products on my wishlist and I think it's enough for a start. The first thing is the most classic palette - the Nude 'Tude Eyeshadow Palette. This palette contains of 12 nice nude shadows that can be used on their own as well as mixed together. What I really love about this palette are eyeshadow's names. They all start with letter "S" and each one represents characteristics of women. Seductive and Stand-offish are definitely my favourite and these are the ones I want to try the most.

The lipstick I chose is called BalmGirls Lipstick and it's in colour Ima Goodkisser which is a soft shimmering coral. What really got me is the word "coral" because I'm totally obsessed with coral lipsticks lately. What I heard about these lipsticks is that they are very pigmented and also moisturizing and slick and I just can't wait to see if any of these information are true.

The next thing is a Mary Lou Manizer Luminizer. It can be used either as a shadow when applied on eye lids, as a highlighter when applied on cheeks and as a shimmer when used as an all-over finishing touch but I would probably use it just as a highlighter. What I love about it is the nice goldy champagne colour which I think is perfect for a highlighter.

The last thing on this wishlist is a blush. The Frat Boy Blush is the one that got my special attention. It's a little bit coral, a little bit pink, in conclusion - the perfect summer shade. It looks very pigmented which makes me very happy and even more eager to try it. What I also like a lot is the vintage packaging and I could say it about every theBalm product. Don't they all look great and make you want to buy them? Because all I can hear now is them screaming "buy me, buy me!"
