I hope everyone had a lovely month! Is it starting to feel like Spring where you are? New York is only just starting to warm up! It was snowing less than a week ago, but we finally got above 60 degrees! It's amazing what warm weather can do to lift your spirits!
I honestly don't have a lot of favorites from March. I was mostly using the same products as in February, so this post should be short and sweet!
First up are my new backpack and water bottle. The backpack is from a brand called Tumbuk2, which is located in San Francisco (yay for a piece of home!). The factory is actually right next to where my old chiropractor is located! I have been looking at getting a book bag slash dance bag from Tumbuk2 for ages, and I finally found the perfect one! Not only did it meet my needs perfectly, it was on sale for almost $100 off! Now, it was still a bit pricey, but there is a lifetime warranty on the bag, and it's incredibly well made; I can see myself having this bag literally for the rest of my life. If you follow me on Instagram (@kathleendahlhoff), you will have already seen a picture of it. The water bottle that I got at the same time is a super basic Nalgene, but it's 48oz! It has really helped me stay hydrated!
My next favorite is an accessory! Now, I don't usually have accessories as favorites because apart from my rings, I don't really wear much jewelry, but OH MY GOSH I am in LOVE with this watch from Ann Klein! The band is a gorgeous blush leather, and the hardware is rose gold. It's very hard to see in the picture, but the face of the watch is actually a pink-toned mother of pearl. It is so classy and delicate, and it goes with everything!
Moving on to makeup! As you may or may not know, Nars Cosmetics recently came out with a new foundation, called the All Day Luminous Foundation. It is their first ever full-coverage foundation, and it has a satin/matte finish. Let me just tell you, this foundation is a GAME CHANGER. I love the Nars Sheer-Glow, but with the humid summer months coming up, I wanted to find something that was less dewy. Boy did I find that with this foundation! Unlike the Nars Sheer-Matte foundation (which I believe has been discontinued), the Luminous is incredibly blendable and buildable, without being patchy! I personally have been loving just adding a pump to my moisturizer and making my own tinted moisturizer! I have also been mixing it with my Sheer-Glow, as it is still a bit dry in the city. Long story short, I highly recommend! I have been wearing the shade Mont Blanc.
My other makeup favorite has been a Burberry Soft Satin Lip Cover in the color No. 23 English Rose. Remember when I said that my YSL Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick in the color No. 9 Nude in Private was my perfect nude lipstick? I LIED. This is my perfect nude! Its more of a cool tone, and the finish is less glossy, which I love. I also love that regardless of whether my lips are in good shape or not, this lipstick looks flawless and has incredible staying power.
My final favorite (told you it would be short!) is a nail polish from Victoria's Secret in the color "Steal the Show." I don't often wear shimmer nail colors, but this one has been absolutely lovely, and had very good staying power!
I hope you enjoyed this month's favorites! Let me know if you have tried any of these products before, and whether you liked them! Also, comment some of the things you loved during the month of March!
