March Favorites

It's already April, so that means it's time for my favorite products of March! This post is a little bit late but April is always one of the busiest months (hello final exams!) and this one is proving to be quite the beast. Before I disappear from the blogosphere a bit in favor of textbooks, I felt I must share all the products I've loved this past month!

1. Estée Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover 
I got this product in my March blogger swap box  and I've been using it every night since! Before I found this stuff, pretty much every eye makeup remover burned my eyes. Even the ones marketed as 'gentle' or for 'sensitive eyes'. I have crazy sensitive eyes, so most products give me blood shot eyes for days! Rather than looking like a stoner, I'll stick with this stuff!

2. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara
What I like most about this mascara is that it's 'washable'. Meaning it doesn't smudge as easily as regular mascara (and lasts a really long time!) but you don't have to scrub and scrub at your eyes to get it off. Like I said before, my sensitive eyes really can't stand all the scrubbing to get off waterproof mascara. Plus, when I'm tired the last thing I want to do is a 20 minute routine just to get off my eye makeup. Maybelline makes some of my favorite mascaras and this one is no exception!

3. Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel 
I don't have full on acne, so I use this stuff as mostly a preventative measure. I love that you can use this all over your face without it completely drying out your skin. I've found that just a thin layer all over in the morning and evening really keeps your skin spotless! Also, since it's Clinique, it's gentle (breaking news: my skin is super sensitive) and doesn't make your skin red and flaky! Who doesn't want that?

4. Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer 
 I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to putting on body lotion. I rarely ever do it and my skin is starting to suffer because of it! I love the feeling of smooth, moisturized skin but I'm just too lazy. The solution? This stuff! It's super quick to spray on and doesn't leave you sticky and greasy for hours. Somehow it manages to be super lightweight but still moisturizing. Not sure how this is possible, but I love it! Also, it smells great.

5. Republic of Tea 'Get Gorgeous' 
Half tea, half beauty product! I mentioned this tea in my 'tea time' post a little while back and it's by far my most loved drink this month! While I can't promise it'll make you gorgeous (I'm still waiting on that myself) it does taste amazing. It's sweet and really fruity, which is my favorite kind of tea. If you love tea as much as I do, you really need to try this!

6. Maybelline color Show Nail Lacquer in 'An Old Flame'
Ok, this product wins the 'biggest surprise' of the month. I picked this up as an impulse buy from Target. Target is an extremely dangerous place for me. I go in for toilet paper and I come out having spent over $100. Every. Single. Time. Anyway, I wanted to try a new red polish to I randomly grabbed this. Little did I know it would turn out to be so amazing! The color isn't anything new, but the lasting power was amazing! Seriously I painted my nails and they lasted over 5 days. For me, that's a new record. Usually, I'm lucky if my nail polish doesn't chip after 24 hours. Everyone try this and report back to me on how long it lasts, because I really hope my theory isn't wrong.

What were your favorite products of the month?
