March Favorites- Beauty

Y'all I am so sorry I'm behind in blogging! Obviously these favorites are belated, but better late then never, right? I wrote these up right at the end of the month too, so they're all things I was loving in March.

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer: I bought this through one of my favorite beauty sites, Beautylish. I had a $20 credit to Beautylish, so I got the bronzer for an amazing price ($15 total with shipping, it's regularly $30) and I was really excited to try this out. It's a great bronzer for fair skin because it's not too dark, and it's perfect for contouring because it's matte. Overall, I've LOVED it. It smells like chocolate, is smooth, blendable, and flattering for my fair skin. Also worth mentioning is Beautylish's awesome customer service. Each order comes with a handwritten note. How sweet is that?
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara:  An oldie but a goodie. I ran out of mascara and hadn't liked my last few purchases, so I went back to something tried and true. This is a great mascara  to give you jet black lashes with great volume. 'Nuff said.
Maybelline Babylips in Quenched: I kept this by my beside a lot this month. Even in the hospital, I reached for this constantly. It's just a great staple lip balm!
Illamasqua Nail Polish in Cameo: It's no secret that I LOVE nail polish. I had been coveting this polish for months and after my hospital stay I had to treat myself a little bit. Let me just say, I have a new favorite splurge brand. Oh my goodness, this polish has a gorgeous formula. The color is vibrant, the polish went on smoothly and evenly... no complaints. It's perfection.
Benefit High Beam: This has become a holy grail product for me. I pat it on under my eyes for an instant pick me up (which- let me tell you, I often need) and on my cheekbones for a little lift. It's gorgeous. It's a no brainer product and I'm in loooove.
Maybelline Master Precise Eye Studio Eyeliner in Black: This is the finest tip liquid eyeliner pen I've found and it's awesome. It's perfect for a quick little swipe of liner at the lashline, which is my go-to look. Definitely recommend this for anyone who likes the look of liquid liner but wants a little more control.

What did you love this month? Any great beauty recommendations?
Hope you're doing well!
Love,
Hannah

Sunday Social, Week 32

1. What is the name of your blog? How long have you been blogging?

My blog is Polish and Pajamas! I've been blogging on and off since high school, but this is the most consistent I've been! I'm really hoping to keep up with this one. 

2. Why do you blog?

I blog because it's both social and creative. It's an outlet with an audience. I love meeting and talking to people who share my interests. 

3. What is the first blog you ever followed?

Oh goodness, I don't know. Probably some that close friends wrote when I was in high school. I got into blogging with my friends at Journalism camp, and then got into tumblr,  but I don't think I realized the full potential until I started reading big makeup blogs like Temptalia. Whose blog is more of an empire at this point! 

4. What is your favorite post you wrote in 2012?

I didn't blog as much as I would have liked in 2012--- in my defense I had a very difficult year. I've already written more in 2013 than I did in all of 2012! Crazy. 

Anyhow, I loved this post on some great Etsy monogrammed goodies I purchased and loved:

Monogram Mail

5. What are your blogging goals for 2013?

I'd like to blog at least 5 times a week for all of 2012! That's the big one. I also just really want to learn as much as I can, and make lots of new blogging friends! 

6. Name your top 3 favorite blogs.
