Loves & Lemons | March 2015


Hi lovelies!  Today's the last day of March, and I couldn't be more ready for warmer temps, cherry blossoms bursting to life, and all of the spring things.  Plus, I'm excited for April 26th as it will be our first wedding anniversary!  I can't believe it's almost been a year!  To celebrate the end of March, it's Loves & Lemons time!
Chanel Glossimer 179 Murmure: What a gem this is!  It's a soft coral pink creme (no shimmer) that feels ultra hydrating on the lips.  Very close to the feel of a lip balm.  I see why non-sticky gloss lovers go bananas over Glossimers!  Murmure gives my lips a healthy, rosy look.

Clinique Extra Mild Facial Soap: I used Clinique bar soap as a teenager and on into my young twenty-something days.  After playing face cleanser beach blanket bingo for several years, I decided to go back "home" to Clinique and I couldn't be happier about that decision.  I've only had a couple of breakouts in the 2 months that I've been using this, versus the handful of cystic breakouts I was experiencing every other week before.  Also, can we talk about how incredible it is that this baby is only $13 bucks?!  The Extra Mild is perfect for me as it leaves my face feeling clean and balanced without being tight.

Lancome Trésor Eau de Parfum: Reviewed.  When I corralled my Loves for this month and photographed them, I later realized Trésor was a February Love!  I decided not to swap it out for something else since the duplication happened organically.  Trésor's two month reign is a testament to how much I love this scent!  

MAC Viva Glam V (Lustre): This shimmering peachy pink has just enough of a hint of brown to make it a "throw and go" shade for me.  You guys know I live for fuss-free lipstick application, so the sheerness and slip of MAC Lustres are my absolute favorite.

NARS Angelika Lip Gloss: This non-sticky, blue-based pink gloss contains micro shimmer, yet is so comfortable to wear.  It's one of my favorite shimmery glosses because I don't feel the glitter grit (gritter?) once it's on my lips.  The blue pink color makes my face look instantly more alive.

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado: This has a strange texture to me; it smoothes on nicely at first but then gets squeaky as you work it in.  I've never experienced anything like it.  I also think it smells a little synthetic.  I used this religiously for over a month and didn't notice any change to the skin around my eyes.

Did you have any loves or lemons in March?  What lipstick or gloss did you wear the most?
