Top / Glamourous at ASOS / here £36

Jeans / Hollister / similar here £44 (other colours ava)

Choker / Primark / £3 set of changable pendants (recent)

Bralet / Primark / £8 (recent)

I absolutely adore this top! My mum was like 'eh, thats a cover up', but I think that's the beauty of it. Here I've done it up by the tassles with one of those amazing bralets Primark are doing at the moment. I'd also wear it with a normal cami if I wanted to cover up a bit. I'm intending to take this on holiday and use it as a beach or pool cover up too, I love how versatile this top is. 

Not to mention how amazing the sleeves are?! You can't quite tell fom the pictures but the litte circles are filled with silver relective stuff, and I love that! The colours are also neon and bright in person - lush!

I walk through Primark every time I go to work so I've been itching to have a look around and especially since lots of bloggers have been boasting of their amazing finds in there lately. So I'm gonna join the club and share my finds with you all now! My total spend came to around £50 which I think is bloody good because I got pretty much everything I wanted. I was careful not to impulse buy and actually went in looking for certain pieces, which I'm proud of haha. All prices are listed at the bottom of the post and I bought these just this week on the 30th to give you an idea if you can still get these. Enjoy!

I'll start by mentioning the make up brush thing. I don't know what they are actually called, but they seem super popular at the moment. I have the larger one from Primark and omg it is amazing! I thought my RT blending sponge was a god send but I feel the brushes may actually top it. I hate how the sponge gets saturated with product, yuck. Anyway, I loved the larger one so much I wanted a smaller one to get around my nose and eyes. I have lash extensions so the bigger brush kind of got in the way of them. I was surprised to find Primark did more than one size, I think they do about three, so this will make applying foundation a whole lot easier for me. 

I spotted these little delights for the first time. They're lip crayons and come in three metallic colours - gold, rose gold and brown. I'm definitely going to be going back for the brown as I am in love with these, I can't believe they are from Primark! The rose is a beautiful colour, it is really flattering, my best friend got it as well and I think it looked flattering on her too, so I'm sure it would suit a lot of people. They also feel very moisturising and not at all drying. I like the gold to go on top of other lipsticks to add a metallic shine. I think both of these would be great for using as eyeshadows as well. 

I've seen a lot of Instagram people with these aviator style prescription glasses, so I wanted to see what I'd look like in them so picked these up for a couple quid just to try. I think with the right make up these look really cool. I have a voucher for Specsavers, even though I just got new glasses, so I may see what glasses they have so I can put my actual prescription in them. A great buy if you just wanna mess around with selfies and stuff. 

I've been after a big bottle like this to take to work for ages now and I just haven't found one that really grabbed me, I know it isn't the most important issue in the world, but I just wanted a nice one haha. So when I saw this Beauty and the Beast one, I knew I needed it, it just made me laugh so much. I love a good pun. 

I've never really worn chokers before but this grey velvet effect one caught my eye. I think it is a little more subtle than starting with a black one as I'm not used to them yet. The lace detailing is really pretty too, I think it could make a plain jumper or top a little more special and a modern alternative to a necklace. 

I'm really loving sweatshirts at the moment. I think they're great for layering to create a smarter look or just for being cosy in. By sweater I mean this kind of smooth, fine knit material, not a knitted jumper. I know loungewear is really popular at the moment and this is my nod towards that. I'm loving grey and the white detailing and I like that it mentions New York because that is one of my most favourite places on earth. I don't like buying slogan clothing just for the sake of it, slogans like "I woke up like this" or "so-in-so goals" just repulse me haha! Also, when did Primark start doing size 4s? This is great.

I've seen this jumper around Instagram as well and I'm surprised I actually managed to find it in my local Primark in Plymouth. It is very similar to a jumper I wanted from TopShop that had unfortunately sold out, so this is what initially attracted me to this jumper. Again, I just love the pastel pink, I am so glad this colour is so hot right now as I've always loved pastel pinks. The material of this jumper is kind of weird, I don't know how to describe it, sort of a very fine, slightly rough fleece material. I think it may go bobbly and out of shape quickly but we shall see. 

I've been after a pinafore for so, so long and this one is almost exactly what I've been after! I actually wanted a pinafore short dress so I could wear it with tights while it is still chilly but this one is more of a wide leg jumpsuit and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The leg length is sort of three quarters, which is lovely but I think it will be a bit too cold to wear without tights as your ankles are gonna be exposed, and I think it would look odd with tights. So I'm not overly sure about the length of it, I may need to take it up. But, how gorgeous the top section will look with shirts, jumpers, sweats! I've paired it here with the two tops I mentioned before and I'm loving it. It is just a shame about the length not being exactly what I wanted.

1. Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm.

This one shouldn't really be in the March favourites as I purchased it quite a while ago but I've not blogged about it before and I'm still loving it in March, so... I've seen you can buy this all over the place, the cheapest shop I've found it in is Wilko, where it is about £2 something and Boots is probably the most expensive, retailing at about £5. Ok, so if you're reading this and thinking why the heck has she bough that or contemplating how often I shave my beard, I should probably mention that I actually use it as a primer. There has been a big hype among the blogging and beauty world about this product being as good as top qual brands etc etc, whilst I don't think it has powers to that extent, my foundation does appear to go on smoother. I guess essentially it is acting as a moisturising layer to the skin? I still like to use another primer on my T-zone but the balm is excellent for coverage on other areas if I don't want to use more expensive primers every day. 

Boots / £5.35

Wilko / £2.45

2. Scott Cornwall Colour Restore 'Iced Platinum'.

I love this product! I previously used A Touch of Silver purple shampoo but I find the Scott Cornwall treatment gives a more instant and lasting effect. It's a bright bluey-purple which was a tad scary when I saw it for the first time, I definitely was not after a blue rinse. But this is apparently opposite to yellow on the colour wheel so therefore counteracts brassy tones in the hair. I'm not gonna pretend I know what I'm talking about, but that seems to be the idea and an appealing idea at that. 

The ombre in my hair has kind of been cut out now but what's left of it has gone a lovely ice blond, getting darker - and not yellowy, orange! - as it gets to the roots which are a dark blonde. There are several different treatment options, I tend to use the 20 minute deep treatment to get the colour I want then touch up every so often with the 5 minute treatment. It isn't permanent so you will need to maintain it. The resealable bottle is great for this, most products like to give you one sachet with far too much stuff in for one use so you will have to go buy another one next time. Meanies! I also like to use the A Touch of Silver purple shamp about once a week to help keep the pesky brassy tones at bay. 

Boots / £12.99

3. Physician's Formula Happy Booster!

Isn't the title perfect? I don't know why it is called a Happy Booster, but lets never question why something is happy! This little product boosts the happiness of your skin in the form of a bronzer. The adorable little heart shaped nuggets of happy bronzing powder are not the most pigmented little things but this is actually kind of good. Most bronzers are soo heavily pigmented, just a single swish in the wrong direction can result in patchy hell. Whereas this one you can use either of the two applicators to apply subtle amounts of summery glow and build it up. Even though I bought this without researching the product at all, I simply had to have it if only for the cute packaging! I also found this in TK Maxx which never, ever tend to stock any decent make-up, I've never even seen PF before, so I had to pick it up! 

TK Maxx / £3.99

eBay / £4-£20

Physician's Formula US / $13.95

4. Umberto Giannini Curl Friends Scrunching Jelly.

I've had this product several years ago and have become reunited with my old friend this month. I went off jelly based products as they can make the hair feel crispy or greasy if too much is used. However, I thought I'd give it another go as I'm going through one of those bad hair months(/years..) and I will desperately try anything!! This time around I feel I've mastered the perfect amount of product to put on my hair. I tend to use a pea size amount on wet hair and possibly another dollop of this or serum on the ends, where I tend to have the most trouble with frizz. I simply rake this through with my fingers and braid or scrunch it in if I'm letting it dry naturally. I quite like the smell, it's subtle and not overpowering. Once dry, I cannot feel the product in my hair so none of that crispy texture with the added benefit of taming my curls - brill! 

I bought this product as two minis as it was cheaper at the time to do this. Also handy for travel. The link for the full size product is below.

Boots / £6.50

5. Clinique Superdefense SPF20 Daily Moisturiser.

I'm such a huge fan of Clinique, probably over 80% of my beauty products are from this brand. I find them so trustworthy and everything the packaging says the product will do, the product genuinely delivers. As does this moisturiser! I always use a moisturiser with an SPF and this one having such a high factor of 20 is perfect. The consistency is really thick so it is obviously super moisturising to the skin but as soon as it is applied it is weightless and like I haven't got it on. It provides an excellent base for my make-up and prevents drying out or cracking on areas of my skin. 

Clinique / £40 50ml

Clinique / £20 30ml

6. Freedom Eyebrow Pomade.

March favourite? More like whole year favourite! I love a pomade, admittedly I was a little late to jump on the bandwagon with these delights but I was very much stuck in my ways using my trusty powdered eyebrow products. I feel a pomade allows much more freedom with application and reduces any fallout. 

I use 'Ash Brown' and I have fair skin and dark to bleach ombre blond hair.

Superdrug / £5

7. Anastasia Beverly Hills #15 Angled Brush.

A perfect accompaniment to the Freedom Pomade is this little brush. Soft bristles but firm enough for perfect control. The very thin brush is ideal for creating a highly defined arch or the illusion of more individual hairs for a more natural brow. Love this brush, it is a tool I would not be without!

Beauty Bay / £13

Anastasia Beverly Hills US / $17

8. Make-up Academy Whipped Velvet Lips.

I only discovered this product last month in search for cheaper alternatives to other liquid lip lacquers. Whilst it is not strictly matt, it dries into a beautifully smooth lip colour - hence 'velvet'. It feels really lovely on the lips. I like shade 'Spry', a subtle nude. It is a great product to keep in your handbag on nights out as it won't break the bank if it is lost or broken.

MUA / £3

9. ZOEVA Rose Golden Brush Set

I am in loooove with these babies! They are soft, firm, pick up product well, excellent for applying and blending and not to mention they look absolutely gorgeous! A pricey investment so it is definitely worth purchasing a good brush cleaner to keep them in tip-top condition!

Beauty Bay / £65

10. Primark Grey Check Jacket

I'd been after a long grey jacket/coat for ages, I think I kind of missed the boat as I should have got one in the height of winter. So I was pleased to find this one in Primark. It is just above my knee, does not fasten and has inbuilt shoulder pads for structure. I like the check but it does make it limited with what I can wear under it, so I tend to pair it with plain, patternless items. 

Primark / £20

There's a hell-ov-a lot of pressure on Instagram and social media in general these days to have the best of the best, and tbh it is just not realistic. I'm so bummed when I see other bloggers showing off these amazingly beautiful fancy-pants make-up brushes then only to check the price tag to see they are waaaay out of my budget. Being the utter bargain hunter that I am, I thought "my arse am I paying fifty quid for a stick with some fluff on it that gets grubby as sin the first time you use it" (okay maybe £50 is a bit of an exaggeration) SO I got looking for some cheaper alternatives.
