Monthly Faves: March

March, my how you flew by! Here we are at April 1st...where is the time going? For the record, I think I say that at the beginning of every month because time really is flying! I loved March for so many reasons but more importantly for the lessons that were learned. Some of the days were hard- a few of the longest days of my life, but also surrounded by some of the best days too. I was astounded by the Lord's faithfulness and the comfort He provided. A culmination of a year's worth of prayers and closure.  I know that's super vague, but if I get the courage one day to share on the big 'ole internet, I'll let ya know :) 
Let's see..what happened in March...

• Celebrated turning 22

• Spring Break ...a whole week spent at home. glorious (although a warm sandy beach sounded fabulous too!)

• Tons of family time- you know the kind where your cheeks hurt from smiling too much and belly hurts from laughing too hard. the best kind.

• Attended too many happy hours at Primanti's... I mean, it's kinda hard to pass up 1/2 price drinks...especially when 3 rum and cokes cost $5... yeah, that's my kinda price :) #brokecollegekid

• Down to a smaller size in pants & (some) shirts! (!!!!) More on my weight loss journey later! 

• Began reading Cold Tangerines --I can't even. I love this book like a whole lot. The honesty is unreal. Why I never read this sooner I'll never know. But what I do know is that I don't want the book to end! 

Now on to my favorites! I don't consider myself to know anything about makeup, I mean really. Until, this month. Cue Ulta + double points during your birthday month! This girl upgraded her makeup a heck of a lot! It was beyond necessary. 

Tarte Park Ave Princess + Slenderizer brush: I was in desperate need for a contour palette and went with the one above. For the most part, I love it- just have to better myself in learning to contour ;) 

Urban Decay Naked3: Pretty sure I was the last girl to ever own a Naked palette and it's pretty much everything people talk it up to be. 

Benefit POREfessional: Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this product. It's supposed to fill in your pores...but I don't think my pores are huge to begin with (haha) so I can't say I've noticed a huge difference :) Jury's still out. 

Benefit POREfessional Agent Zero Shine: Jury is also out on this one too. Anyone love it/hate it?

Benefit Stay Don't Stray: In need of a great eye primer? This does the job perfectly! Can't say enough good things!! My eye makeup has never stayed- until this baby came along! 

Naked nourishing lipgloss in lovechild: I don't think I've ever loved a lip gloss so much in my life. Adding more colors to my collection is a must 

Benefit Roller Lash: Giving this mascara 5 stars. Never in my life have my lashes looked better

Oribe Royal Blowout: While getting my hair done earlier this month, my girl, Rebecca suggested I try this product for heat protection while blowdrying. It has yet to disappoint. It's a spray, so it's light and doesn't weigh down your hair- which is a major plus for my fine locks!

IT Velvet Luxe Foundation Brush: After having my old foundation brush for far too long I knew it was time to replace. I chose the one and haven't looked back! Personally, I hate the feel of having a lot of makeup on, this brush gives a light airbrush feel. Highly recommended! 

What was your favorite thing about March? Looking forward to anything in April?
Linking up with Kelli and Mia for this month's favorites :)
